And everywhere, lonely geeks rejoice at the decreased download time for the favorite pr0n!
This will not matter much, at least on the individual's machine. Most hard disk drives transfer on the order of 25MB/s. This fiber transfer is applicable only for supercomputing links and Internet backbones. Good luck finding a 107000000kbps stream;)
I still find it interesting that at 18 you're allowed join the military and die but you're not allowed to drink alcohol.... in the United States of America
Anyways, the problem with the age limit on alcohol consumption is that it gives teens/young adults the impression that drinking excessively is a mature thing to do; most people I have met who have drank from a young age tend to see excessive drinking in a completely different light than those who get to drink when they're 18-21.
Wrong, sir, WRONG. Check this link for a little insightful info.
righto, take a look at my original post... all users are running 'user' accounts under windows XP pro, server 2003 as DC. I'm amazed that some programs are still installable. I will occasionally find a copy of skype or Barnie's games on a system... Why, go to all that effort just to get in trouble? People amaze me sometimes...
You overestimate the thought process of upper management. You can't get them into trouble because the top hats always side with the "well it was just a program and I don't know how it got there but I have it at home so it must not be bad" story...
I love'em all, but you can't trust them to stay away from their computers. All are running under very limited users accounts on a domain and they still cause problems?! I for one would be glad for someone to sanitize CE software so I could even consider it.
Don't make them power users, and they won't be able to do this. Power users are unable to install programs (according to MS), but they are able to modify the registry. What does this mean? They are able to install programs.
I have had no user-installed programs since I started administrating the system here at a 3500-employee corporation. After a couple of books such as Windows NT Administration And More by Jonathan Briere (out of print), it was easy to pick up how to keep the systems locked down but not too much locked down. It just takes time and patience to go through it. From projections from "the Bobs" who came in to do some assessments of departments, they discovered that I am saving the company between $50k and $200k quarterly by keeping programs off and pushing employees to be more productive.
...but I would like to take the opportunity to point out that this Sheldon Cohen is not the same as the former IRS tax commissioner who wrote the tax code in '78 and is the author of the famous and controversial book on the insight into the IRS's inner chamber members that so many of us are familiar with.
I was introduced to the former Mr. Cohen at Stanford in '98. After reading a few of his papers on the immune system, I would not doubt the legitimacy of his trials. Here's a bit more on his works!
Here's a little snippet of the availability of the OLPC. It's looking really good for us OLPC supporters. I was in contact with one of the designers a few months ago, and he said by March '07, they would be down to about $60-$90 to produce and that they might even start wholesaling them if they could get the proper government contracts in Pakistan. It's looking very interesting from an economist's standpoint.
There is a great controversy over this man whom Putin may have personally had murdered. Or it could be someone framing Putin. Or it could be Putin making it look as though he was framed. Russia is a grim place. I don't expect Kasparov to live much longer...whether those "approval ratings" are truly 80% or more like (1/80)%, either Putin has the power to make it look as though he has the people's support, or he does have the people's support, obviously making him powerful.
Intel pushes the 'more power! faster!' philosophy while AMD just redesigns the architecture and it takes Intel a few years to catch up. Not much has changed since 2000.
Correct. Intel still has the lion's share of the market, and they want to keep it that way. It's interesting how they "cheat" and lock two dies together and call it dual-core or quad-core just to come out with the technology "first" to keep the investors happy.
AMD is smaller obviously, so it has fewer resources...but with those Alpha scientists, they're going to keep going strongly. It's just a matter of time with business directives like this before AMD takes over. They've been having some really cool ideas...and a few more over a few years, the innovators may win. And no, I'm not an AMD fanboi, but I have talked to some architects from IBM and Intel, and they do concur.
Tell your employer that it is all classified. There is really nothing that you can do about it. It would be a breach of contract and could leave you in legal jeopardy if you showed any of it to him...
But the TSP has a solution. Tell him that you will code for him if he can give you a terse, yet challenging assignment. This will let him see what he wants to see (i.e., what he wants to test you on), and you're willing to take out a bit of your time just to show him that you're a hard worker. This strategy worked for me and landed me a job in the upper 80's!
Please tell him that if there was ever a use for BitTorrent, this would be it.
Considerations are already in place. I don't know what the deal was, but they were having some "legal" issue with running a tracker. Stay tuned to the TSP for more updates!!
The response has been so overwhelming that the Foundation has been forced to increase their server capacity.
One of my cousins works with the NMA. He's currently out in Germany. It was amazing how QUICKLY news got out, and their servers were bogged down like crazy (and still are). They have had to temporarily get several new colos up. In the first couple of hours alone, there was a transfer of something like fifteen terabytes. That's WELL more than the usual monthly average!
New Zealand's rich bird fauna had evolved there because they had no competition from land mammals
I fail to understand how ONE mouse could have made any competitive difference to avians. Especially based on evidence of only ONE fossil. How popular were these animals anyway? Even if the whole island had been full of them.
Now, going by the size of the mammal, maybe it wasn't even competition. Maybe it was actually a food source.
I personally am leaning towards the thought that he is guilty. He missed little bits of evidence, especially the books that were esentially on how to kill someone and get away with it.
HOWEVER
The outcome of this trial surely will hold or change the course of the PC's filesystems. Granted, the new ReiserFS isn't oficially going to be supported by everyone, but when they see what it can do (SuSE?), they may just be convinced to switch...IF he is found not guilty, and if he will have not been so defamed by this case that he loses all credibility because it could be brought up in court and he be found guilty with new evidence a day, a year, or a decade in the future.
The fact of the matter is that it is relative to how you listen to your music. Are you going to be listening through earphones/headphones while you're out raking leaves or running? If so, there's going to be a whole lot of background noise. The quality of frequency response of small head-based speakers tends to be shoddy. That will make any nasty sound--artifacts, tinniness, etc--unnoticeable.
OTOH, if you are listening on a $1000-dollar set of speakers with a nice receiver, amplifier, and cabling, you would probably notice some issues. Less background noise, higher speaker efficiency, MUCH higher "SNR!"
Music copyrights are a cruddy mess at best. Take, for example, a copyright on a song. Also, there will be one for the recording of the song ("mechanical copyright"). There will be a performance copyright as well. (Sheesh!)
IIRC, Cliff Richard's early work will be *only* coming out of mechanical copyright (recall, for the recording of the song). This means that a music dealer would have to pay for the rights of the songs; however, he would not have to pay for the recordings themselves. It would be the exact same if they made cover versions of the songs.
Our copyright law has was not backdated the last time that it was extended, so works recorded before the life + 70 tariff do not get an extension. This was actually something that the Motion Picture industry actually lobbied strongly for, as there were quite a lot of films in production that were based on "just out of copyright" works that could have gone right back into copyright. This was actually the case with Sherlock Holmes when the previous extension was backdated.
If there's one place that they shouldn't have filmed this, it's at Emory University. Emory is that school across town with a billion dollar endowment, where the girls' rich daddies give them credit cards with $2000-dollar limits. They max out their cards at Lenox Mall every Saturday, and by the following Monday, daddy has paid them off. There are a lot of liberal arts majors and a lot of people going into law and medicine. I know this--I have a few dozen Emory friends. My brother attends.
Now where they really should have been filming was Georgia Tech. You have a good mix of nerds, geeks, regular persons, snoody persons, and people who can't fit any description. At Tech, it is not uncommon to hear some guy talk about how he just mastered gradients, another guy start proclaiming how VHDL is the savior of the universe, and then some ZTA girl talk about how many guys she "serviced" last night. It's a more down to earth public university with the sort of diversity that this particular movie would need for a remake.
