This sounds like a mistake (probably somewhere down the line of the story). The original probably came from a known security problem with MS word where you can see revision history in some documents (I don't know enough about it to say if it is always on). There is a feature in word that will allow you to have it save revisions. You can later look at revisions and see the strikethoughs of past editing. There are U.L.s about companies putting humourous stuff in documents like "This client is a boob", which are later edited out but saved in the revision history.
The easiest way to make sure a document is revision free is to cut and paste it into a new document. The new document will not contain the revisions.
All of a sudden, you have an incredibly secure system, with the same useability(maybe a little slowdown for encryption/decryption, but there are fast, secure algorithms availble). So no I've already refuted the "inversely proportional" part.
No you haven't, since the system is still harder to use. You have to log in with you finger, etc (I didn't have to log in to my Windows ME machine, untill I made it part of a microsoft network). Inversely proportional implys one goes down as the other goes up and you example backs that.
If you could show where the easy of use goes up, then you would have refuted it. Even where it stays the same (although that won't be as impressive).
I found some here. An interestign thing is that I was wrong. It isn't a chip but a literal filter over the lens. You just have to remove that. Wen my friend said he opened it and removed the IR filter for some reason I thought it was a digital filter, but apparently it's an optical filter. Another page said that the USB version doesn't have the IR filter.
This is a bit of an untruth. It is true that as you gain experience in one aspect of IT, you will be considered more and more of an expert over time, but the main problem comes in when you try to think that your 10 years of DB2 experience + a course in Java makes you worth as much as an expert Java programmer. You aren't an expert, and will have to take a pay cut if you want to switch your aspect. As I said elsewhere, you will gain your old status quickly.
One place where this is true is poor interns who get a QA job as their first job. If they stay in QA for too long, then people will begin to think they can't program. One way to counteract this is by doing open source work. Of course, open source work also helps you change your aspect. If you have 10 years DB2 + a course in Java + are a contributer to any of the Java apache projects, then you'll look rather apealling.
I'm thinking about going for graduate and post-graduate education, and I've been looking for professors who have done research in CS Ed.
If you want to go onto a good grad program, you will need research experience. Industry experience will not help you here.
Early on in life, when you take a job, you have to ask yourself "How is this good for my career?" To get into a good graduate program, you have to have a resume that shows you will be a good researcher. Having industry experience doesn't help, and in fact, can hurt a little, as it makes it seem that you are not as dedicated to an acedemic life. The good programs have 100s of applicants and only a few dozen research positions. In order for you to be accepted an individual professor has to take you on. The way to catch a professor's eye is with research work. He will not care if you programmed the backend to eBay. If you have an internship doing fourier analysis of spectrographic readings of plant samples from the amazon, it will show you'e got the math it takes to do research.
There are some industry jobs that may help. A friend of mine worked on uC++ and ssh, but he also had a lot of other pure research interships (as well as was on the winning team of the ACM one year) and is now at Berkley.
Don't get me wrong, you may be able to get into a good program with good marks alone, but the research experience helps a lot.
On the other side, the research experience will help a little in getting an industry job. Just don't expect it to count as much as industry experience. You will still be viewed as a entry level applicant, and be paid accordingly, but you will have a edge over those with no experience. If you use a language like Java in your research, that will help you a bit (it will certainly get you by H.R. filters). Once you have a job in the industry, you will probably be promoted quickly so while you loose a little ground, you'll catch it back in a year or two.
In fact, the environment is definitely getting warmer, according to evidence from the seas released last year. One of the sturdiest pillars of the argument against global warming crumbled under the weight of some 10 million measurements of ocean temperature, which together revealed that the world's oceans have warmed substantially in the past 50 years.
Still, the cause of this warming is unknown. It is known that the Earth's temperature does not tend to stay contanstant, swinging into ice ages and slightly warmer ages. Showing that the Earth's temperature is changing has some uses, but knowing why would let us know if there is something we should do about it or if it is just a natural occurance we will have to weather.
It's not only possible, but easy to enforce this by dynamically checking the referer and deciding if it is a paying partner. If you are that worried about deep linking, then your robots.txt file will exclude that content anyways (if you are link most sites, you will let the robot index the site, and then not allow regular users in. You'd be surprised what you can get into by setting your user agent to "Googlebot/2.1" or even better "Mercator-2.0" since some sites won't let Google on because of the view cache feature).
On the other hand, Lucas' hubris wrt Episode One probably contributed to its crappiness. I like the fact that Lucas is worried about this one. He will probably do a much better job. He realizes now that the Star Wars title is not good enough to make a multibillion trilogy. The next two movies must be as provoking as the first three (actually, the quality of Jedi won't cut it either).
This reminds me of the old B&W quickcams when they were still made by Connectix. Apparently they have a chip inside them to do IR filtering, because the sensors would sample IR as well. A friend of mine used some instructions on the web to bypass the chip (he said it was fairly easy), and purchased an IR floodlight. Viola, instant nightime camera using a floodlight that wouldn't bother a human.
But those aren't wireless. This is. It's the wireless part that is interesting. These aren't even digital output (they do digital transmission to a DAC) so they aren't comparable to webcams.
I think a large part of the point is that a lot of people won't upgrade to this vintage of the P4 chipset, and will instead go to Athlon. Not that this is a bad thing.
The idea that spawed XSL/XSLT was that in "the future", browsers wouldn't download HTML, they'd download XML documents, and an associated XSL document would turn it into something displayable on the client side. God forbid a Perl, Java, PHP, or ASP program on the server do this for you -- no, let's make the thin client fat again, by giving it the responsibility of not only rendering, but organizing the data. Proof positive that this was a dumb idea what that Internet Explorer 5.0 proudly featured a robust implementation of this idiocy.
One advantage of using this feature is that you can create a stylesheet for displaying a specific format of data. This stylesheet is cahced, so when you look at each "recipe" entry on a site, you only download the recipe data, not the decoration. The gains are deminished as the data size of the data gets larger or the size of the decoration gets smaller. It certainly shouldn't be used all over the site.
There is no long run difference between NetZero not keeping up with the cracking and only keeping up with the apperance of cracking. If advertisers are finding they are seeing revenues from that advertising medium, they will pull their ads or pay less. What people don't realize is that advertisers aren't paying for a view, they are paying for a purchase (whether it is immediate or because of "presence"). Every small business article I've read focuses on figuring out how many people click through, and how many clickthroughs purchase, and then using that as a basis for how much you should spend on advertising. Companies aren't stupid when it comes to things like this.
The only people being cheated by ad cracks are the people using the site. The advertisers don't pay more in the long run, they just adjust their prices downward, eventually making the entire advertising medium unviable.
Articles lie this can be good if companies realize that they are blowing important dates and that there is something nternally wrong. A reference was made to the turnover of developers on Duke Nukem. Hopefully, Epic will try to resolve this.
The fact ofthe matter is that if you blow a date, then something went wrong somewhere. It may have even been with the estimation process. Companies must learn that blown dates and vapourware are indicitive of internal problems that must be resolved.
I wouldn't hold a cell phone close to my head anyways. Even if the Surgeon General has recently found no link to brain tumours and cell phone use, I simply prefer the earpiece/microphone now. It is easier to hear the other party and cut off the any background noise. I would imagine you can use these other phones with that.
There are several operations that are involved in 2D performance and several involved in 3D performance. It's not just int v float, but different vector operations. If it supports MMX, then there are 2D and 3D specific MMX instructions (only 2 in each catgory).
I remember learning in Psych 207 (Cognition and Memory) that cats have been shown to have such "experts" in their brains. In particular, they have one for detection of horizontal lines, emabling them to get a good understanding of where a ledge is. You can stunt the growth of these experts by removing that type of stimulus at an early age. Placing kittens in a round room with vertical bars on the wall and allowing them to grow up there will effectively remove their ability to jump up onto a ledge.
A 1999 survey by the American Management Association found that 30 percent of large and midsize companies sought some form of genetic information about their employees, and 7 percent used that information in awarding promotions and hiring. As the cost of DNA testing goes down, the number of businesses testing their workers is expected to skyrocket.
GATTICA is here. >shudder< This makes me want to lobby.
"We see that SOAP [the Simple Object Access Protocol] provides part of the answer to meet the requirements of certain categories of service, such as those for subscription-based models. This explains our commitment and participation in the Working Group at the W3C [World Wide Web Consortium] to develop the recommendation for XP, which builds on the initial SOAP work," said Simon Nicholson, Sun's XML standards strategist.
There was a lot of talk about SOAP at JavaOne last year. This was before Microsoft put the SOAP stake in the ground of.NET. There have been quite a few indications from Sun that they feel XML-RPC is going to be a large part of the furture of distrubuted computing and have given more credibility to SOAP than the OMG standard (even the OMG is making CORBA XML-connectable).
As an aside, the XML-Apache group has some SOAP stuff, too. People aren't thinking of it as a Microsoft thing. Just a distributed thing.

Much like Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.

No, that's UV, not IR

My fav was the dark priest walking down the hall from Elizabeth. The SLJ clip at the end looks like it was from Die Hard with a Vengance.

Did you try turning the brightness up on your TV? Seriously, many people do not have their TV properly adjusted.
But those aren't wireless. This is. It's the wireless part that is interesting. These aren't even digital output (they do digital transmission to a DAC) so they aren't comparable to webcams.
