Well, this makes it a lot easier for me to answer this question from OpenSource.com.

We're far enough away from any likely candidate systems that we would only pick up very high power omni-directional signals - in other words, intentional beacons. Such a beacon is unlikely to be highly encoded (though there might be an associated signal that *is* highly encoded, and to which there is a pointer in the beacon signal). In other words, we don't have to worry too much about the Kolmogorov complexity of extra-terrestrial signals, because we won't be "overhearing" anything.

(1.3*R)C(2.0*R), where C = O(25*h)

You are assuming that people can't keep up with change. Sounds like you've never worked with top notch people. A truly talented IT guy can keep up with innovations well into his 70s - if he pushes himself (or herself).

I would say the issues go back to Adobe's refusal to license postscript as a display language for the OS X display rendering engine and their original refusal to write a version of Premiere for OS X (which lead to the birth of Final Cut).

Unlike 90% of Boston (the relatively new Back Bay is the exception, as that was built on 19th century fill), Chicago is on a grid.

Insomniacs can sleep. We just take much longer to get to sleep and wake at the drop of a hat, and so never get the amount of sleep we need. Oh, and I live in EST

There's a book that's 2200 years old. I don't mean the story (or in this case, poem) is 2200 years old, I mean the *piece of paper* (or in this case, papyrus) on which someone copied the (2400 year-old) poem is 2200 years old. In the right conditions, archival quality paper will last a *lot* longer than any electronic medium.

I think he's writing a rootkit for a grad school project. Notice the emphasis in "open source."

A cursory search finds that Hyundai donated $1M to the project, so you might not want to make that assumption. The CoE would I imagine have to be involved in any project on the Mall

Guys, it's really not that hard:
GregYear <- (appropriate year for start of Gregorian era in locale)

IF (month = 2 AND year MOD 4 = 0 AND (year < GregYear OR year MOD 100 > 0 OR year MOD 400 = 0))
{MaxDayForMonth <- 29}
ELSE IF (month = 2)
{MaxDayForMonth <- 28}
ELSE IF (month IN (4,6,9,11))
{MaxDayForMonth <- 30}
ELSE
{MaxDayForMonth <- 31}

I certainly hope you don't characterize "real estate" as "real property." The owner of real estate owns something just as abstract as the owner of Intellectual Property does - the right to use and occupy land. Ultimately, all property is abstract: if you hand me a five dollar bill to look at, does it become my property because it is in my possession, or does it remain your property?

I believe such monuments are usually funded by subscription by private organizations; and I find evidence that such is the case for this Memorial. So, NO, your tax dollars did not pay for this, though it is on public land; I do not know if the Federal government maintains the site or a private organization does so (as is the case with e.g. Monticello).

Savitch's book is superb as a textbook. You won't find many other books that are that good. The two things I'd suggest learning about are data structures/algorithms and design patterns. For the former, there are a lot of text books, but the good ones are advanced and expensive (for instance, Cormen, Leiserson & Rivest, *Introduction to Algorithms*), and the inexpensive ones are poorly written. You might try the O'Reilly book "Algorithms in a Nutshell*. For the latter, there are a number of books - a good intro book is *Head First Design Patterns*; the book of books is the so-called Gang of Four book that introduced the idea, *Design Patterns* by Gamma, Helm, Johnson, and Vlissides.
