I get a login screen. Can access it through Google though.

One thing that amazes me about physics, and of which i'm reminded by things like this, is how much information can pass through a small patch of space and time. It might have taken the photographer a while to sequentially photograph the ent

True, but this still places some constraints on the rest of the company. Said random contacts will eventually need to pass some info on internally and get answers to report back to external organizations.

Looking at the 8-hour day from the inside, employee, perspective is one thing. But it's not the only one. There is another reason for the 8 hour workday, maintaining real-time business-to-business interactions with a single shift workforce

Yes, It has been discontinued. The questions don't appear to be dated, so It's not possible to tell how long ago the tip was posted. http://www.google.com/goog411/index.html

Thanks for pointing that out. Skimmed right past it.

"Its probably articles like this one that pushed TSA to go to its current extreme." This logic is flawed. Security by obscurity isn't security. If the article wasn't published someone sufficiently clever just as well could have come up wit

I think the "uncopyrighted" statement could be misleading. Does Leo really intend to mean that the free version of the book is being released into the public domain or is he simply highlighting the fact that it's not locked down with DRM.

Microsoft had already started backpedaling with it's "that's not hacking" comment to Gamespot. "Kinect for Xbox 360 has not been hacked--in any way--as the software and hardware that are part of Kinect for Xbox 360 have not been modified. W

There isn't a reason that the military can't test weaponry, they just usually do it in quarantined areas or with notice to the public.

So, looking back through my notes it turns out I just wrote things out much more frequently than I used the keyboard. Negating the legibility bonus. Here's a page from my Signals and Systems class notes from '08 http://www.scribd.com/doc/4

I have experience, and it happened well before the iPad. I have a Lenovo X61 notebook/tablet w/Pen. Combined with Microsoft OneNote it allowed me to take notes on my computer, even in my engineering classes. For a while I had experimented w

You don't even need malicious intent. Mishandle the computer while it's plugged in to the stick and you'd likely damage it pretty quickly.

Thank you for pointing this out. I've used CI for a couple of previous projects, and was just starting on another. It's not too late to port everything over. :) Adios, Ellis and CI.

I lived 3 out of 4 years in college without cable, I just couldn't afford it. Couple that with not being a big sports fan and never having had things like HBO it was actually pretty easy to keep from jumping back in an buying cable. Hulu,

One other thing people forget to consider when creating intellectual property of closed source or open source is that copyright does not last forever. Every piece of intellectual property you create will eventually belong to the public doma

It's not so much an assumption on their part as a realization thats what we've turned the education system into, at least in America. In primary, secondary and even advanced schooling, there is a heavy focus on the students doing well on th

Ditto. CompE graduate here, my C education was almost exclusive to microcontrollers. The only other class that focused on C was the operating systems class. Both were fairly low-level in their respective areas.

You might not even get that far. Since it's left to the publishers to decide if the book is lendable, expect many best-sellers not to be. Assuming the book could be re-lent to an individual after the first 14-day period has expired and can

Perhaps because academia isn't motivated by profit and the 'time = money' mantra. At least not so directly.

"The people making these products probably don't want them heavily enforced either. If things actually got to that point nobody would buy their products." That's exactly my point. There currently isn't anything that forces the consumer rea

Before and at the time of purchase most people don't think about the EULA or it's consequences. It's merely part of the shrink wrap that needs to be removed to enjoy the shiny new product. Perhaps if it were something consequential instead

A black, unknown object that looks like it could be a pipe is attached to the bottom of my vehicle. I'd just call in and report a bomb. See if the authorities can figure it out. On a more serious note, California is in the 9th Circuit which

Another reason I've heard argued by a coworker is that they aren't banning electronics for the sake of interference, but for your attention. If anything were to go wrong during a flight, takeoff and landing are the two times that they want
