I know that it's DDR3 SODIMM but is there any particular reason they're limiting it to DDR3-1333?
Would there be a performance gain if it could utilize DDR3-1600 like how the AMD fusion processors show decent performance gains using higher speed memory? I'm pretty sure that DDR3-1600 SODIMM's are out there.
Hey hey hey now, don't be so harsh. HP still manages to keep a pretty tight grip on their market share of blade servers and I own an HP 50g which is much better than an equivalent TI graphing calculator IMO. My old HP Laserjet 6L has also stood the test of time and is still kicking and my dad still has 2 more at his workplace (plus an HP plotter that seemingly refuses to die). But I guess that stuff is from HP's yonder years...
Just because you have a safe doesn't mean they can't rip it out of the wall and deal with opening it later. You can deter people and make it hard for them but if they're determined they'll take it. I once heard of a guy who left for vacation for a long weekend and had his gunsafe stolen. I'm not saying that all criminals will do this but the determined ones will have prepared. He had a heavy steel safe with long bolts on the inside driven into the concrete foundation. Just like someone can go into a big business and pretend to be "IT support" and steal a big server rack with tens of thousands of dollars worth of blades.
A better metric to measure is to try and order pizza to the new house and see if the pizza place has any restrictions or just straight up won't deliver to that neighbourhood.
It doesn't take a lot of skill to click buttons.
But seriously, almost anyone can do basic programming (hello world, calculators, make some sort of output etc.) but it's when you start to get into things like Objects, Design Patterns, Constructors/Destructors, and Pointers where you have to start exercising your logical thinking and just be able to understand it if you want to get to the next level.
The reality is that not everyone is cut out to be a manager, or a labourer, or a foreman, or an engineer, or a programmer. You can train hard and become decent or even good but I truly believe there is some inherent skill and brain function/thought process that you need to become great at whatever it is we're talking about.
Except Liberal Arts, it doesn't take much skill to flip burgers/start a deep fryer or make coffee. Hell you could probably learn how to do latte art over a weekend and make cool fractal or mathematical latte art.
Why not rig up an alarm like this

With a bit of programming and some off the shelf components you should be able to make one in real life and if someone tries to steal the scooter everyone around will turn and look at the person.
It's a major problem when you're going "low and slow". That is when flaps are down and you're just coasting onto the landing strip. Not to mention that during that time it's the most dangerous to be distracted or impaired since there isn't very much of an escape route. Seeing as how flaps are down and you can't power up the engines or risk shearing off or damaging the flaps and there isn't much time to react and do things when you're in the landing stage anyways.
Christchurch kind of falls into the category as a "polytechnic" since it wasn't really always a "university" per se, however from what I understand it has one of the strongest Teaching College/Faculty in the UK.
Really the key is quality education and turning out quality students. It doesn't mean someone who will just regurgitate but actually think about what they're doing and the future implications of it.
In Canada it's the same. I have to take about 24 credit hours (or about 8 classes at 3 credit hours each) worth of Gen Ed classes.
These courses include English (Academic and Technical Writing which everyone has to take AFAIK), Psych/Sociology/Poli Sci, Art/Media/Film Studies etc.
They're interesting courses and I enjoy them. Now if they were to take up 1/3 or even 1/4 of my degree (well they do take up close to 1/4 of my degree) I'd have a problem but for now life is good and it breaks up the monotony of just grinding code, math equations, proofs, DB schema, contingency tables, and such.
PS: I am also taking a concentration in Geographical Information Systems so I don't consider the Geography, Field Techniques, Remote Sensing, Geodesy, etc. courses "outside of my degree" or "Gen Ed" since I'm specializing in them.
This is probably going to lead to higher sales if anything. Since they can't have it they'll just buy it from elsewhere.
To be honest if it's banned I'm pretty sure more of us would want to get our hands on it. It's kind of like the Streisand effect, if it's banned we want to check it out for ourselves.
Yeah there is. The iPhones camera is actually pretty good if you can get the setting, and lighting setup right. You don't need fancy high end DSLR's or expensive $1000 glass.
Case in point: http://fstoppers.com/iphone
How about using Emacs as a web browser?
Specifically, XEmacs and this one random one I've heard in passing called "w3m" or something should be able to do it pretty much out of the box.
Excuse me?
Geography not bringing in much research money? I may be a bit biased since I'm in a GIS program but Geography does it's fair share of research. Now granted Geography as a discipline is quite broad (and I guess Geology and Archaeology are usually separate departments but then you have things like "The Department of Math and Computer Science") but it does have relevant applications and research.
English and history though I'll agree are cost sinks.
I say "can you pass me that 30 'cee-em' ruler" or "that mATX mobo is 25 by 25 'cee-em'"
You can shorten pretty much anything as long as context is there. Someone was telling me that in Japanese you can have an entire conversation that's super vague and still understand what was said based on context or something.
OK here's an idea.
How about tossing in the guts of the old computer into a new shiny case (complete with LED casefans and everything). Hell, do a complete format of the drive while you're at it and restore everything back to the way it was before all that bloatware the person in question installed. Or not and see if they think their "new computer" is faster. IMO it's all about perception.
I would say yes. I attended a consortium/symposium hosted by my university and it was an amazing experience. Granted I'm only a Bachelors student and a lot of the stuff was over my head but the networking potential (and seeking/finding the right prof to do a Masters/Ph.D under) is definitely worth it.
Also, see if you can get a travel grant/subsidy. A lot of universities will have them for their students to travel to slightly lessen the costs, it may be most expenses or just a subsidy but even $100 goes a long way. Check your scholarship/finance office, grad studies office, and even with your prof or department head.
I suggest replacing IT with Construction and replace 'hang some coat hooks' with 'replace a hard drive' ?
But it's a simple task. I fail to see how hard it is to hang a coat hook, and if you can't/don't know how to do it then there's always google to the rescue hell I'm sure there's videos on youtube dealing with how to install coathooks, there's certainly videos on how to replace a hard drive or build a computer.
Granted, I actually worked in the construction industry as a summer job doing all the odd jobs and simple things that needed to be done, but still if someone asked me to bake some pilsbury cookies in the oven it's not that hard; cut the dough up into cookie shapes, turn it on, set to right temperature, put the cookie rounds in the oven and set the timer, take it out when the timer beeps and you've got yourself some cookies. It's not like they're asking you to make a souffle or knocking down a load bearing wall to renovate the building.
This video is probably going to go in wide circulation after the media reports on this story. If they try to suppress him, it'll just generate more publicity.
If we could put one of those on an airplane and rig up a system that could target people lasering aircraft, pilots wouldn't have to worry about being "lased" while they're on final approach. It's a serious problem and as a private pilot I have no sympathy for people who lase aircraft, especially during final approach when you're going "low and slow" or when you're doing your base/final approach.
I have no journal articles to back this up but there is a statistic out there that most Engineers believe in god or some sort of higher power (agnostic). But then again you could argue they're not "real scientists" and only "applied scientists".

My school uses off the shelf Vostro desktops with Xeon processors. They run CentOS no problem.

So does this mean that we're one step closer to solving P = NP?

Maybe the next "patented" screw design they use is a Roberson screw. Americans can't seem to understand them for some reason. :P
