Ever since the screen on my cell phone died, I'm basically carrying around a portable rotary phone. No call display, no SMS messaging, no address book.
Why haven't I replaced it yet? Waiting on Roger's and Apple to make love and bring the iPhone to Canada.
Just because I'm modded a troll doesn't mean I'm trolling. It just means there's some moderators out there who feel 'insulted'. My point remains valid as a statistical curiosity, regardless of political correctness.
The numbers for physical sciences may be skewed by the presence of foreign students.
There has been a number of scandals involving professors from the far east that fabricated research. This is evidence that research ethics are different in those countries than in the west. And most foreign students from the far east go into physical sciences.
It doesn't look at though the study focuses in on the students' country of origin. It would be interesting to see results when nationality is included.
I was doing back-end programming in Winnipeg, MB. Getting $30K CAD (roughly $25K USD). I don't have a graduate degree (yet), but am a university graduate.
I agree with you. I was glad to even *have* a job. However, the wage was quite a bit less than what I expected. I mean, teachers start at $45K CAD and nurses at $50K CAD. And they get benefits!
Can't laugh about that too much. I actually witnessed a guy in grade 10, insert his 5.25" floppy into the gap *between* the drives. Right into the case.
It depends on how your video encoding/decoding software has been programmed. A very well studied problem in parallel computation is parallelization of the fast fourier transform.
So any encoding/decoding software based on the FFT (and DCT) is easily parallelizable. Whether or not it has been coded to take advantage of any hardware parallelization is another question. And the answer to that question is a "probably not".
That said, the OS and other user programs could be running on one processor, while the encoder/decoder could be running on another processor.

Who would have thought my old Athlon 700 would prove to be so valuable?
It's okay. Even NASA confuses SI with Imperial measurements.
Pass the BS down the chain
Don't you mean NO CARRIER?
You must be new here

When I get my replacement, you can have mine.
Am I the only one who originally read this as: Dangerous Lava Flow Threatens 'Virtually Everything'?
All it means to me is that it will be harder to smuggle food into the theatres.
In this house, we OBEY the laws of thermodynamics!
Why would I want to boot up to Binary Coded Decimals? So terribly inefficient.

There's a reason I leave my experience with Lotus Notes off of my Resume.
Well, using "SMITHCODE" as the key to a Vigenere cipher, I managed to get a partial decryption:
ISALQRAPPXGSJZPQNIYKXRTBBJMH
As you can plainly see, the first three words are: "Is All Crap"
How portable are these things?
Anybody know if I'll be able to install one into my pimped ride?
Did you say you thought you dropped out of college?
Looks like I'll have to delete my copies of the Anarchist's Cookbook and Terrorist's Handbook from my hard drive.
Wow, sounds a lot like a place I used to work at for two workterms. It was a great place to work, and I got so much work done.
Couch potatoes YOU!
10 months out of the year, the ground is frozen. The other two months, we eat ice.
Go figure.

That having been said, I doubt a 5-digit account is worth much to anyone; $0.21 on eBay at most.
I'll take it!

It's posts like these that deserve more than just a score of 5.
