I'm sorry, but generally your so-called "exception" is the norm. It often takes much longer to get citizenship than the requisite residency period. I think it took my parents about an extra 6 or 7 years to get theirs.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't they want the rovers to die so that they can get more funding for cool newer shit?
A couple weeks ago, there was an article about how they were trying to drive the rover into a crater that they thought it wouldn't be able to get out of. If they haven't changed their minds, this seems to be along the lines of what NASA wants.
So...If they get caught 3 times in one day, they can do it as much as they want that day?
And...If they get caught 100 times, they can do it all they want forever?
Fun.
Was it just me, or did they mention Linux was superior technology? Something along the lines of "The Unix Transitioner chooses Linux not because it is superior technology, but because of reduced costs." Freudian slip, maybe?
This hardly seems to be a new kind of matter (i.e., matter, dark matter, anti-matter), or even a new phase of matter (solid, liquid, gas, [plasma?]). The article means it's a new phase, as it talks between the difference between solid and liquid. However, it mentions electrons as the determining factor, where it's actually nuclei. Heck, in solid metal, atoms have a lattice structure, but valence electrons flow freely from one to another, which is what makes metals such good conductors. The only thing remarkable about this compound is that it is supposedly arranged in a new space group.
If you're going to use Deep Freeze, either get an image server, or lock the BIOS, prevent booting from CD and Flash drives. You can easily unlock the computer from Deep Freeze by booting up a Linux LiveCD with captive NTFS and simply corrupting the Deep Freeze configuration file (which happens to be at the root of the C: [or whatever] drive). It's a binary file, but you can simply add any character to the beginning, and it will be corrupted, and Deep Freeze won't load. It's slightly harder to restore, (you have to copy a fresh configuration file from either a saved backup, or another computer with Deep Freeze), as Deep Freeze further corrupts the corrupted file.
Yes, I did this, and yes, I got a referral because I didn't fix it fast enough -- I hadn't made a backup, and it took me a while to figure out that I needed a fresh configuration.
Instant Runoff elections would be great! Unfortunately, the fact is that we do have parties. George Washington advised against them, but now that the two are ingrained as strongly as they are in our system, we can't really get rid of them. And IRV won't work while we still have a two-party system. Adding a third party won't work too well. We've tried that in the past, and it didn't work. Dissolving the parties altogether won't work either--who would dissolve something that puts him or her in a position of power? Besides, IRV would help in a minority of cases when we have an independent candidate running, but then, only when the vote is close. Also, between all the problems surrounding ballots, like in Florida, and the problems surrounding voting machines (them not being open source, etc.), and the method of choosing a president once the votes are in being in the Constitution, we'd have an incredibly hard time changing to IRV, even if we had a many-party system.
At the expense of sounding like a Democrat (which, as it turns out, I guess I might be), our voting system isn't the best in the world, but it's the only one that will work for us at this point in time. I agree that it should be fixed; it's just that realistically, it won't be.
At my school (Purdue University), most of our large lectures use eInstruction CPS Response Pads (we call them "clickers"), to verify attendance, verify comprehension, and improve participation/interaction. Our clicker answers count for about 10-15% of the class grade, distributed throughout the semester. Each day in lecture, we get a bunch of questions throughout the lecture, and answer them using the response pads. The prof. immediately knows how many people understand the material (and we know too), at the end of class, he can find out who actually attended, and they make it worth it to attend class, as they can potentially bump your grade up by a whole letter. A note: the lowest five scores are dropped, incase someone's pad heppens to be not working a given day, or that person had a bad day, etc. In any case, it seems like a very efficient case to judge attendance, and an incentive to go to class. It could be used as a basis for distribution of podcasts, but students will find that the sheer incentive of a grade will make it worth their while to attend lectures anyway, in which case you'll be no worse off making the podcasts freely available to students.
That's all very true, but what I'm inferring from all these posts here is that all ISPs in the US could be mandated (and funded, supported, helped, etc.) to have better upload and download speeds. We're not talking about our ISPs controlling other ISPs' upload speeds, we're talking about the government mandating that upload and download speeds be high, and prices be low, for all users.
We do not need to standardize on one package manager, but rather standardize package managers. Package managers need to be compatible with each other, so that I can install an ebuild, an rpm, and a dpkg for three different things on the same computer, and so that the ebuild can satisfy a dependency for the rpm and dpkg (just an example, could easily be the other way around). Linux advocates choice, and we can choose vi or emacs, we can choose html or pdf. Right now, as I am running Fedora, I can't choose dpkg or ebuild, I'm forced into RPM/yum. If I run Gentoo, I can't choose RPM/yum or dpkg. I understand that the package manager is an integral part of a distribution, that it sets it apart from the others. But if we had something as simple as a consolidated database of installed packages that was standardized (with standardized package names, versions, and dependencies they provide), that would be enough, and would facilitate writing newer, better package managers. Again, I say, right now, the problem is that package managers are too tightly integrated with the distribution.
Remember that it's all a matter of usability vs. security. I could make the most secure airline in the world. But no one would ever want to fly completely naked and cuffed to their seats.
Uhh...I'm not sure, but I think it's because it's slow to read and slow to write. Formats can be slow to read/write by being compressed, by storing a lot of unnecessary data (like, for example, using XML for everything), and I'm sure there are other things. Feel free to add to the list.
Well, this is where law can't keep up with technology. Can we use the evidence itself to prove that the evidence was legally obtained? As in, with clear warning signs around the house and the guy warning the cops?
If they let you run OSX on any old x86 hardware, it would show how weak their OS really is. Windows can stand up to the beatings it takes from poor hardware design, at the expense of blue screens. Mac requires you to run it on Apple's hardware so they don't have to do extensive hardware testing, etc. There's nothing in the Mac ROM chip that makes OSX work, no more than WGA will make Windows work in the not-so-distant future. Apple manufacturers just don't want to ruin their precious image of being 'better' than a traditional PC (I say traditional, because they're PCs too, now), so they "quality" control the hardware it runs on.
New Hampshire law specifically allows law enforcement purposes.
And the fact that he was using the tapes to show that the police were violating his rights is not law enforcement? Sure does seem like it to me, in any case.
What you need to do, to set your hands on fire, is to first immerse them in water. Then, put 'em in gasoline and light those babies. For those of you who haven't run off to try it yet, make sure you've Nair'ed the hair off your hands first, because when they burn through the water layer, it's gonna hurt. If you do have a good water layer between your hands and the gas, you'll be fine, it'll absorb most of the heat, and the gas'll burn fast anyways.

You mean cream-ation. You're turning yourself into a liquid, after all.
This isn't Magic the Gathering, you know. This is real life.
This was pretty much the standard in Battlefront.

!((/usr) || (/bin) || (/mnt)) would be better and more efficient. 4 operations instead of 5, and also easier to understand.

Yes, but it's the speed to the Internet that matters to us. Most of us don't plan on browsing our ISP's servers that often.

10 on a side?
.304 of an atom. That's for the nuclear physicists to figure out.
I only count 1.304 (26th root of 1000)
But don't ask me how to get
And remember where they tested Thalidomide at first? Animal testing doesn't give you everything.
