Mental note: Toshiba laptops are now worth less because the manuals will be harder to come by.

True he might not have anything on him at the time that he sent the email, but he may have something now.
If fat face is smart he sent a slightly different email to each department to narrow down his list of suspects.
I would hope the leaker would be smart enough not to leak this email. Presumably it was leaked somewhere else since it was sent to a large number of employees.
iPads in the classroom can be a great tool. But here's the thing. You have to plan for it before adoption.
Projection: AirPlay, HDMI, or VGA?
Documents: KeyNote, Quicktime, PDF; or maybe go to something less prepared and more on the fly. It can be neat to have a blackboard in your hand that projects on the screen.
Storage: Internal cloud, iBooks/iTunes for education where you can create your own courses with files, Moodle.
etc, etc. And only after you've worked these things out, you then beta-test by having a few tech savvy instructors run courses with them. Collect feedback. Discuss. Revise.
For the love of gods, don't just buy a bunch of hardware, hand it to people, and tell them to go educate. How's that supposed to work?
Not an ancient Olympic Game, but from 1900 until 1920 Tug of War was an official event. That seems like a fun event I'd like to see return.
And there'll be nothing wrong with the company as it won't exist in the near future.
Don't they realize that the more often they change the ruleset the more often players have to spend money buying new books?
Oh...
"Flying Coffin." Interesting nickname. In my home country it was called the Widow Maker. Erich Hartmann, the highest-scoring fighter ace in the history of air warfare, called it fundamentally flawed and unfit for service. Lockheed's money caused his superiors to force him into early retirement. 115 German pilots were killed in non-combat missions while piloting the F104.
Ohhhh, poor AT&T. Your regulator has some teeth and is preserving the bit of competition that still exists in wireless? We all feel so very very bad for you.
After all these years, I still consider the WRT54GL to be the best wireless router for home use. I don't know if that's impressive or sad.
Consider giving Tomato a spin for firmware. Very user friendly, especially for slightly advanced uses like bridging.
Bald-faced lie. Sorry, I'll stop now.
Everybody's a critic, including myself. So you're about to have to read some strong responses. But please keep in that, IMHO, there's still no place on the Web like Slashdot. So thank you for keeping it together, warts and all.
Linksys has always been a good solution for my SOHO needs. My short forays into D-Link and Netgear were both disappointments. I'm now running a couple of WRT54GL with Tomato on them. This is my favorite network yet. I may be missing out on fancy 'N' speeds, but my network works and works right every time day in and day out. I'll do with 'only' 54Mbps for that.
Not necessarily. The Fed could sterilize the move by selling off an amount of Treasuries equal to the value of the coin and destroying the money it receives. Then the money supply would be unaffected. Effectively the Treasury would be proxy borrowing by having the Fed sell Treasuries, which have already been counted against the debt limit, instead of selling new Treasuries itself, which it cannot legally do.
It's only inflationary if the money supply is increased.
I believe the technical term is Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory.

That was cool, but when clicking the link I really, really wanted to see quicksort done as a dance. Curse me and my expectations.
Anybody know of any entertaining visual representation of quicksort?
