"Race to the Top" isn't going to get anyone anywhere. This is more of that so-called "Standards Based" stuff, which amounts to more "teach-to-the-test" education. If it ain't on the test, it doesn't exist.
There was a time when states received very little in the way of Federal funding. Now they seem to be more and more dependent on it.
And as the saying goes, "he who pays the piper, calls the tune."
I think they should not have to repair the macs if they were used by second hand smokers. One why would you smoke near a computer like a mac, i mean come on, u really need to smoke near one?
Add the now salary raise for FY10... besides the 30.8 billion dollars revenue for FY09Q4...
This is a mega public relations stunt - a clear case of scientific deception of the public. These simulations do not even come close to the complexity of an ant, let alone that of a cat. IBM allows Mohda to mislead the public into believing that they have simulated a brain with the complexity of a cat - sheer nonsense.
Here are the scientific reasons why it is a hoax:
How complex is their model? Read more
They claim to have simulated over a billion neurons interacting. Their so called "neurons" are the tiniest of points you can imagine, a microscopic dot.
The article cites 288TB to 576TB in 4U. Recheck the facts for the 7410 which supports up to 576TB. The Storage Controller is 2U. The enclosures housing 24 2TB drives are 4U EACH. So to create a maximum configuration supporting 576TB would require at least 50U of rack space depending on how the rack(s) was configured.
Paladins go up to level 80 now. A level 70 paladin is not a serious geek.
You may now return to your regularly scheduled tongue-in-cheek.
Awesome, I want in.

The US should export many things...jobs shouldn't be in the top 10, but it has become our #1 export. That needs to change, but is it the change Obama promised? Probably not.
I never really believed the rumors about HP buying Brocade. No disrespect to Brocade, I just thought that HP's interest was really in Ethernet and IP networking and not Fibre Channel.
Will another company acquire Brocade? I can't think of any obvious takers. The financial analyst rumor that Juniper would buy Brocade were ridiculous and obviously spread by someone who doesn't know Juniper. IBM and Dell? I don't think either company is gung-ho to get back into the networking game. Besides, both companies already have a Brocade OEM relationship in place.

JTF-GNO changed their reporting requirements this year and have been increasing the level of reporting from the Service CERTs for several years now. A big chunk of that figure is likely due to the increased reporting requirements, and not necessarily an increase in activity. You'd be surprised at how many bean counters JTF-GNO throws at the problem of tracking incidents instead of actually dealing with incidents.
Cute but a waste of space.
While ARM Holding is going up and Intel Corporation is moving down, I therefore have no doubt who will end up being a clear winner in the race to become no.1 micro chip producer in the years to come.
ARM with it ARM7 and ARM9 processor can easily take on Intel Atom for many reasons, firstly ARM7 and ARM9 consume less power and have longer standby times the Intel Atom processor. Secondly the ARM7 and ARM9 is much smaller in size then the Intel Atom, this will reduce cost for hardware vendors. Read more
7-Zip is nice, but frankly, if you want a proper tool for zipping that actually includes iso-support (and much more), I'd recommend IZarc (.org). Just as stripped down if not more, but still with much better functionality. Free too.
What a joke. He has had about as much to do with the creation of Internet as Henry Ford. Now he is creating BS about global warming so he can get richer with CAP and Trade.
An Acer aspire is $400 and beats the pants off any netbook in performance, there are no Operating System compromises, and it's ~3 pounds.
I feel sorry for any IT Manager or any employees that compromises to get a netbook, as they are several steps backward.
Folks,
What the PGuild and other don't understand or care is the amount of revenue contributed by INTERNATIONAL students to the already sinking US economy. Its a whopping 18 Billion in 2009 alone!!!
If we start tightening the screws on the few provisions that these folks have, US will be
in a deep SOUP. Keep in mind that UK, Australia and our friendly neighbor CANADA is having 100's of seminars in all major cities and capitals to woo international students. They understand that it stimulates their economy. I hope all the networks that oppose this wake up to their senses...
In the time and at the cost that all of this spectrum can be freed up, a lot of fiber can be run and wi-fi hot spots attached!
Also many many g-4 enabled cells can be built anywhere that fiber reaches. Add a few well-placed femtocells, and you have done it without freeing up much additional spectrum.
But we better get to work laying fiber.
Failure rates...
Ladies and gentlemen, we simply aren't ready for exascale computing...yet. Yes, we have to build it if we can, but expectations should be realistic. Read more
