8/5 kchang says: sorry, in an attempt to fix Atom bugs, the unique ID (<id>) of
the CSUA MOTD feed started to change every day (the datestamp moves),
thus a lot of readers think all the threads are unique. I've fixed it
so that the unique ID is constant so you guys don't get every single
old entry from previous dates. Sorry about innundating your reader
with a bunch of old entries. PS if you use RSS/Atom reader, you
can add the CSUA MOTD feed here: http://csua.com/feed
\_ what was broken in the first place?
\_ Misha Dynin pointed me to a feedvalidator and pointed out
errors in the <id> format which I fixed:

If you want, you can group by subject (Sun Spots, Solar Wind, Solar Flares) and then by author within that. Depends on how broad the topics span and how many papers you have. com,2009:/NewZealandmoved12inchesclosertoAustralialastT hursdayhttpnewsyahoocomsafp20090722 2009-07-22T17:35:00Z <table border=0 cellpadding=3 cellspacing=0><tr><td valign=top>7/22 </td><td colspan=4 bgcolor=#e5ebf5 width=100%> New Zealand moved 12 inches closer to Australia last Thursday! There are more Nikon cameras that went to outer space than any other brand. Canon was the first to forego tradition and reimplemented their autofocus lenses (motor in-lens, diaphragm in-lens), first to implement in-lens image stabilization, first to implement live-view, first to create an affordable full- frame camera (5D), first everything. Nikon usually lags behind, but they have much higher built quality and lasts in battlefields. ogg</a> (NSFW) To me it seems contrived that she would be curling her hair in the nude right in front of a peephole right when this jackass filmed her. My 2nd-gen Prius (not the 2010) accelerates on the on-ramps fine. Furthermore, people get angry at seeing Makefiles, (since eclispe takes care of that). I don't think the threading model you implement is the damning feature.. The problems come because its completely deterministic, so logical race condition bugs will either always or never appear. Also, you rely on Java happy fun time and don't have to implement dynamic memory management, which I think is the biggest gap in the course. You don't implement malloc() or free() (nor even discuss how to do so in the class). Java isn't a problem because students have limited time to do lots of work for the class anyway. My brother has a lot of tattoos and piercings and for a while he lived with me. During that time he brought home or dated all manner of women of questionable character. They were pleasant to look at, but they had issues and were all kinds of crazy. Openly gathering phone numbers from men at the bar where you both arrived together? Taking their tops off in public (this sounds nice in theory but it can be rather embarrassing). Stealing money and electronics from you while you are in the shower after a shag? I was envious when he brought them home (once there were two Hooters waitresses who came out of his room with only towels on) but I was mostly glad when they left and he would be the first to say he is sick of that shit and wants to find a nice girl to marry and have kids with. If you want to date such women look for tattoos, fake tits, slutty dress like high platform shoes and tops with no bra. They'll be into you if you drink a lot, buy them drugs, do exciting activities like dirt bike, and look the other way when they hook up with their ex-bf after a night of drinking. You can look forward to hot sex, drama, diseases like hepatitis and/or mononucleosis, and possibly an occasional night in jail. I think some of his characterizations are dead wrong and others 100% correct, but I don't sense misogyny here. There is some maybe in the comments, but not the original article. For instance, the present of tattoos (or not) is not misogynistic. csua providing status, could there be a text file with current status and future plans. I'm wondering if SpamAssassin is obsolete (and my procmailrc and scripts) and won't be restored, and what's filtering spam now. I've seen tons of fat, poorly-aging people in the midwest. they're also more pure, genetically and healthier because they don't have as much pollutants as the people in San Francisco. It is left as an excercise for the reader to figure out why. Along the East coast and mid-Atlantic you have overachieving women who act like men and wear no makeup. On the West coast women are more casual in their dress and appearance. Only in-between do women dress and act like men expect women to (in a stereotypical way). Might be worth waiting a few days to see how it shakes out. My sister-in-law does all of the above, even going so far as to text her kid while she is away. These things have their place, but should not supplant traditional interaction in person or, if need be, telephone. You are wasting time with your Facebook friends you could be spending with real people. And people who do a lot of Facebooking (that I know anyway) definitely do something similar. The minitruth released that they upped our char limit to 140! Either that or the over 18 year old person is most likely immature and/or trying to fit in with the crowd or just like to waste time. Just realise that not everything is about you and be okay with it. Maybe the potholder she's looking at reminds her of when her cat died when she was eight. I also like the technique of apologizing for things which logically couldn't possibly be your fault. Use sparingly or you will be accused of being patronizing. I tend to defend myself and my position and when she is right, I take it to heart and try and change my habits so that it won't be an issue in the beginning. If she is just being unreasonable I tell her and then grovel until it blows over. I don't have the best success with women though :) In the best relationships I've had I just had to lick the clit. I only have to do this a few times a year, but it is better than a pointless argument. Especially when the 28/hr includes cost of benefits (any 401k matching? My mom used to work in management at a bank, both in retail and at data/call centers. They could find plenty of labor for $14/hour and those jobs have a lot more responsibilities than a janitor does. My niece is assistant manager of an Old Navy while she works her way through college and she doesn't even make $20/hour. There is no shortage of people willing to work for $15-20/hour. Go to your local Taco Bell and ask if any employees want a benefitted janitor job that puts $18/hour in their pockets. What was the area unemployment rate before the Bush Depression? Unless you think we are in a permanent state of 10%+ unemployment, it is a bad idea to whipsaw your employees like this. |

Economics, needs, and physics-- is there an end to Moore's Law, or any other laws wrt to storage, bandwidth, megapixels? Processor speed is like 15x per year, disk is like 2x as large per year, I've heard ram speed is like 125x per year (or something like that). I saw another post where someone said auto efficiency has only gone up 3 mpg in 80 years. If we started at 30 mpg 80 years ago, 10832 x 30 = 325 So it could follow Moore's slow Law. The market, economics, demand, and expectations from shareholders all play a much bigger role than anything else. As for MPG, it's been artificially low in the past few decades for obvious reasons. com,2009-08-05:RegardingNKorearelesingthejournalistshe reswhatIthinktheactualdealbetweenKimandOb</id> 58.

Your Grand Parents, your neighbors who didn't go to Cal. Your waiter, the guy delivering your mail the guy you buy your groceries from, the guy your parents and grandparents buy your groceries from. The fact is that advertisers only have a very limited way of telling who is listening to their ads and what the effect is on buying behavior. It looks to me that the same people paying out and taking in revenue can work the system for fraud. There is an ongoing war about click fraud, this doesn't mean online advertising is dead, there is bank fraud and perhaps more to the point, things like Nielsen rating gaming as well. For instance, Google loses money to undetected click fraud when it pays out to the publisher, but it makes more money when it collects fees from the advertiser. Because FYI, Google / AOL partnership made $678M in ad revenue last year.

They have a really low self opinion of themselves- the minute they can do something that something must be 'omg so simple so easy'. it creates a way for them to feel arrogant at people who don't have the time to memorize trivial like 'whats the magic command this time to do X on this version of decunix' but sadly makes them feel very empty. com,2009-08-03:911callerinGatescasehurtbyracistlabelh ttpwwwcsuaorguop6newsyahoocomSodocriminals</id> 194.
