Google has fairly simplistic regex rules to speed the process. I'd happily pay Google $5, $10 or more a month if I could generate a search with complicated regex and weightings. The fee goes to hosting separate servers that specialize in providing truly useful returns in minutes rather than a ream of butt useless ones in a fraction of a second.
Except that the person above you posted a link to the CERN site for CLOUD which includes a link to CLOUD's website (http://cloud.web.cern.ch/cloud/) which includes a link to their publications (http://cloud.web.cern.ch/cloud/People/Publications.html). All they have is some preliminary data from a prototype but still includes a link to the initial publication "Results from the CERN pilot CLOUD experiment" (http://www.atmos-chem-phys.net/10/1635/2010/acp-10-1635-2010.html)
But that probably doesn't fit with what ever decoder ring you found at the bottom of your box of cocoa pebbles which rather than suggesting you drink more Ovaltine apparently claimed that CLOUD results are classified.
Wrong. In your example that's the equivalent of saying the Ideal gas law is: PV = nRT + C where C is some constant and r is 8.3144621 J/mol K so the pressure is (nRT + C)/V
A better example is claiming that the pressure P is (nRT)/V with a given value of nRT and V.
In the former case the model is simply wrong, in the latter case the model is right and has a given starting condition.
All they've said is now that the temperature has changed the pressure is P'. You could easily plot the necessary market share vs time as a function of typical AV accuracy and see more or less when there'd be a rise in OSX attacks.
Granted his model is overly simplified and has questionable powers of prediction but your analogy is frankly wrong.
The only way to limit contraband ? It's the one way to have almost no effect what so ever on contraband. People don't get arrested with the intend to smuggle contraband. The people who smuggle in contraband are in reverse order of significance: visitors, prison staff, guards. That ordering has to do with opportunity and intent. Any large prison is statistically likely to have one or more guard with both, The visitors likely have intent but limited opportunity..
If you really want to stop contraband strip search every guard as they come on or off site. Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating for strip searching the guards but the idea that this ruling will do anything to hinder contraband is ludicrous.
Lastly there's a difference between stripping down and changing clothes and a strip search.
I'm willing to bet a relief map that just showed less than and greater than 7000 feet elevation would very closely match the map.
I live in one of the areas that is surrounded by black and sure enough it's a river valley. No great mystery, putting wireless in unpopulated mountainous terrain is not worth the effort.
Maybe you should pass your real time updated upper atmosphere model on to them. The time from when the satellite hit the upper atmosphere to when it hits the ground is measured in minutes not many 10's of minutes or hours. With it tumbling and no longer transmitting there's no way to accurately state it's altitude even if you did have a real time upper atmosphere model. There's simply no way to inform people in real time because there's no way to know in real time. Even if you constantly updated it by the time the info was passed on that entry had occurred it would already be on the ground (or darn soon afterward).
To the extent that they can they do. First they push really hard to force you to buy from authorized retailers. I'm not real thrilled with that but I understand it, secondly if you request the serial upfront you can find it's history. There's not much else they can do. If you insist on buying from a non-authorized retailer you're at risk.
I recently bought a 4510R+E (about $50K with cards) that was claimed to be an overstock item from a non-authorized reseller. The serial was reportedly one shipped to China. That's fairly common for the fake Cisco, they obtain a real one and send back clones with that serial. Needless to say we didn't buy it.
Which TeaParty ? TeaPartyPatriots.org, TeaParty.org ? Which one has the official TEA Party platform. They differ quite a bit in their specifics as to how to create limited government and balance the budget. Some of TeaPartyPatriots economic suggestions are fairly sound some aren't. TeaParty.org seems more of a front for the Michael Savages/Rush Limbaughs of the world.
Regardless official statements like this (off of TeaParty.org's 'about' link):
(Yes, We Are A Christian Nation) You don't have to be a Christian to enjoy freedom. The Tea Party welcomes all Red Blooded U.S. Citizens.
Make me fairly disinterested in anything they have to say. Which citizen's are not "Red Blooded" ? Gays ? Muslims ? Jews ? Liberals ? Progressives ? Neocons ? Atheists ?
Drinks are in the kitchen, pizza should be here shortly. There's a game on later or you can just lounge around outside in the garden. I think there's even an apple tree.
I wouldn't take the $6M and 5000 man hours as directly coupled. The actual press release says:
BlueCross invested more than $6 million and 5,000 man-hours in the data encryption effort, which included:
- 885 Terabytes of mass data storage - 1,000 Windows, AIX, SQL, VMWare and Xen server hard drives - 6,000 workstation hard drives and removable media drives - 25,000 voice call recordings per day - 136,000 volumes of backup tape
The 5000 man hours may only reflect actual labor and not reflect all the hours of planning/scheduling etc. What ever hourly rate for labor double it for overhead, the cost of a person is about twice their salary, at $100/hour that's $1M in labor. Another 500K in planning. I have no clue what software they used but I'm pretty certain it wasn't a single package. Each system may well have required a different package + licenses + contractor time from the vendor. For example they may have had to out source the voice call recordings to who ever provides their phone system. I kind of doubt they slap all the recordings onto a single box and mass encrypt.
They're a very distributed organization so there's going to be a *lot* of duplication of effort, they may have had to do the phone bit at hundreds of sites.
I don't know if it could have been done for $3M or if $6M actually represents a relatively reasonable price compared to a lot of the $XXX Mllion dollar utter failure projects. It strikes me as fairly reasonable considering the scope of the problem and usefulness of the result (assuming it's not a $6M whitewash).
Contrary to the above posts Jobs/MW isn't all that odd a metric, particularly if you actually read the article and not the headline.
One of the claims regarding clean/alternative energy is that, among other things, it will create jobs since the entire industry barely exists compared to where it would eventually need to be scale wise. The paper basically says, ok let's see if that's the case and count number of jobs created. Since the product of an energy plant should be MW not white papers, glossy brochures or fuzzy feelings it makes sense to use that as a measure of efficiency. One obvious metric is jobs/MW.
I'm willing to bet that if the findings had shown that solar was way behind other energy sources then many (if not most) of the people who post 'Jobs per watt, what a bullshit metric' would be posting instead about the absolute value of the metric rather than the metric itself. There'd be quite a few more posts of the 'See solar is bullshit'. We'd probably still have conservation of contrariness though because the green folks would be posting 'Jobs per watt ? What a bullshit metric' so it all works out.
There are about 30 companies in the world with 300,000 employees, 10 in the US (GE, IBM, USPS, UPS, McDonalds, Walmart, Sears, Target, GM, Citigroup). Most of those have readily accessible IPv6 plans (pretty much have to), they don't just hire some yahoo and say 'Get 'er done', hell some of them *sell* IPv6 solutions (dysfunctional ones but they'll sell it to you).
Corporations that big have a VP of Strategic Planning or some such in charge of IPv6 migration and their schedule is not based on some random hardware delivered to a readiness lab. Maybe Bob's Big Barn webhosting outlet does but GM sure as heck doesn't.
I'm curious if you listen to Amy Goodman. I was in a disagreement/argument this weekend with somebody who made exactly the same argument, same phrasing (hated by many, media industry, smell blood, etc) and their source was Amy.
Not saying it won't happen (or casting aspersions on Amy) but I suspect it may be wishful thinking. News Corp and Rupert are extremely powerful, even if Rupert was found guilty of something I personally doubt it would have that much effect on Fox or their viewing audience beyond re-affirming their notion of a liberal media out to get them.
We shall see, as long as the audiences are incapable of differentiating, news, entertainment and propaganda (both left and right) I'm not horribly optimistic.
The problem isn't the instruments, the problem is pirates attacking the scientists as they go to place them. The area of interest is a no-go area of the Indian Ocean.
But with piracy in the western Indian Ocean making it too dangerous for commercial or research vessels to deploy the robotic devices, Australia's government research department, the CSIRO, hope naval forces will help them out.
That's kind of the whole point. They need to place them in specific locations, so they're asking to tag along behind one after it goes where they need it to.
As an non-native American (family has only been here about 7 generations) I think it's not that far a stretch to say many American's are paranoid delusional at least when it comes to foreigners. It's probably something in the water making them crazy.
We can count them and see if we reach a couple hundred million, you can be '1'.
The problem isn't engineer vs MBA, the problem is where they end up in the corporate structure. A health company will have a mix of MBA's and engineers throughout their management structure, the two play off each ether to achieve a good balance of technically and financially sound decisions.
Sadly there's a selection bias towards MBA's for upper management positions so over time older organizations become MBA top heavy and they fail as they're out competed by technically superior companies.
Younger start up type organizations have an inverse distribution and tend to be engineer top heavy, they frequently make technically superior products that still fail for financial reasons.
We'd need to come up with a name for a more detailed version. It might be nice if it included pictures, complete sentences and maybe some insight as to why the details are important. Too bad 'history book' is already taken.

Agreed, somewhat.

A resume is typically viewed by an employer so the incentive is to be honest about hobbies and lie about experience.
LinkedIn is typically viewed by friends and acquaintances so the incentive is to be honest about work and lie about hobbies.
Nothing terribly profound.

You have no intellectual property. You just post the same drizzly cut and paste crap into every thread.

Nice false dichotomy, or alternatively, right dichotomy wrong assignments.
