Tanks don't have camouflage for defensive protection from attacks - they have it to reduce the likelihood of detection.

This is exactly the same as how a computer system attacker will attempt to disguise their attacks as legitimate traffic, and how honeypot system disguise themselves as real targets to attempt to detect attackers.

Security is a subtle field. "Security through obscurity is useless" is a useful starting point, but - as with most things - you need to understand what it means.

Not only that, but Microsoft isn't a direct retailer, they're a wholesaler. If you have a problem with your machine, it's the responsibility of the person who sold it to you to ensure it is fit for purpose, not the upstream provider.

Apple is a direct retailer.
Where are you based out of? At least here in the Ann Arbor/Detroit area the demand for good developers/interns is huge, and it seems most people that want a software job around here have one.

My best advice would be try to get involved in local startup/entrepreneurship events if you have such things. Connect with the community, in my experience everyone is happy to talk to others about what they're working on - they won't bite :). Talk to people about their needs and your skills. Good luck!

Ah, things have obviously moved on since I left the Java world years ago. In any event, the VM is still specified at the bytecode level. The JITs are optimizations that are outside of the standard. The .NET ECMA standard specifies an IL that is designed to be JITed to native code.

To the parent question, the performance is very close on the two platforms. The point I was trying to make is that the .NET platform does have some things in it's favor at the IL/VM level.

Call me a lunatic, but I really enjoyed Johnny Mnemonic (the international version with the extra scenes from the extended Japanese version spliced in and sub'd). It was by no means a flawless movie (Keanu Reeves' acting was about as bad as bad Keanu Reeves acting can get, and they royally fucked up Molly Millions' character (apparently because they didn't have rights to use the actual Molly Millions character due to a Neuromancer movie attempt or somethig)), but all in all it really felt Gibson.

Stylistically, I think it was dead on.

EDIT: goes over the differences between the international version and the Japanese version: http://www.movie-censorship.com/report.php?ID=1523&In=Qu... basically, they removed nearly every supporting scene for the main Japanese character, and the explanation of the ending.

I agree. To an extent though. Look at anime - it has maintained the dystopian view (Ghost in the shell, etc) where you have amazing tech and ultra-dense urban environments.

Places like Singapore, specifically, and tokyo are where cyberpunk is, was and will be. The location will retain value as density increases over time.

People make the assumption that the density of population and tech is evenly distributed. It has never been - never will be.

You will have ultra-dense areas in singapore and tokyo that truly resemble cyberpunk (I think you do already).

For me, years of playing cyberpunk as a kid after reading the books in the 80s... it was more about the geo-corpolitic dynamic... Apple is Ono Sendai, for example - but not under threat yet that it needs its own security.

I predict; Facebook, Google, Monsanto, Goldman Sachs -- will be the companies that require the services of a security force like XE.

Google's datacenters are already built like prisons, complete with local - low-IQ security bio-robots already looking for a reason to exert their 'authority' over an intruder.

One can only expect that a company like GS and Monsanto are about 5 years away from the first incursions against them.
Erm... did you read the article?

The only mention of carbohydrate's effect is because it's chosen as a large, easy number to reduce in favor of raising the protein amount, raising the overall inefficiency of the system. They listed, in Atkins-like diets, that shifting from 55% carbs to 8% carbs (with the change going to increased protein intake) results in about 140kcals less useful energy.

That's it. From where in the article are you drawing insulin/diabetes/hunger connections?

This is a neat-trick, and I ♥ Javascript, so even better.

In terms of ramping this up to actually be a viable revenue source... I guess you'd need a browser plugin which was hard-core about making sure you agreed to usage, and verified to the server that you were actually doing the mining you'd agreed to - and that could tap in to the GPU.

But then, if Bitcoins become worth something meaningful, wouldn't we all be using our GPU most of the time to be generating them anyway? In which case, the website starts asking you for the opportunity cost of using your GPU instead, and you know how much that's worth, and boom, micropayments.

But I'll be honest - I have very little work experience.

Neither do most other summer interns. Don't worry about it.

The benefit of an internship is skewed in your favor and not the companies; you get to learn (and gain work experience that you need). Depending on where you are, you might be working on an important product, but, it isn't expected that you'll be as productive as a full-time engineer is.

The real benefit that a company gets from having interns is that its basically a two or three month hiring process. If it goes well, you'll be able to another internship with them next summer and/or possibly get a job offer at the end of college.

Practically everyone out there is looking for smart people to hire. If you want to intern at a startup, find one you like and make yourself known. Send them an email with your resume attached and a quick note. At the very least, you'll get a real response from someone (rather than a canned one, or none at all).
It is too late for google, microsoft and facebook - their hiring processes for summer start in winter (I even know some guys who had interviews in november) and most places are taken; you can however try autumn if you want - I know that fb hires for autumn now.

Try some smaller ones - you are on site dedicated to startups so you should find some that hire! My algorithm when searching for interns was going through lots of companies, look into their jobs/careers for interns ad and sending my cv, starting from the most intersting.

Edit: I didn't have lots of projects to show either, but many companies don't really ask for them during interview (however for some it's a must - eg my friend wanted to work in android apps startup and they wanted him to already have something done for android) - algorithm puzzles seem to be popular, also you may be asked to read/write some code and some easy questions checking what you wrote about technology you mentioned in cv. That's really all I think.

that's a bit pedantic, ya know... the number only means something to people who know the system even a little bit, and they'll immediately translate to the proper unit because 10 milli-hashes per second makes no sense. Unless you're mining by hand.

It's like ranting that people talk about "10mb" files. Or "100gb" or "100GB" drives. When they're technically "93.1GiB" drives ("gibibyte" [1],[2], or [3]).

I'd imagine a particularly good screensaver would be profit-sharing, but everyone else would run a free one and get all the mining income. Solo-mining is not really an option any more, and it'd be easy to cheat (detect wins & claim for yourself), so it'd have to be pool-based to be useful.

Monoculture is seldom a good thing. Though native apps have strong advantages, web apps also have advantages in terms of deployment, compatibility on multiple platforms, and (possibly) freedom from Apple's walled garden.

Someone could make a URL shortening service that frames sites, including the mining JS. Users could sign up and get a % from the mined coins on links that they share.

As many people are pointing out that GPUs are faster for mining that CPUs, would you be able to make use of a GPU with WebGL (or GPU-accelerated Flash)? I guess the GPU computations don't fall in the spec of WebGL though.

Inventory Management System: Custom-Built Benefits
There are an untold number of three Web store owners who need to manage an inventory for the products they sell. Are you one of them? Your inventory management systems design, done by a smart developer, will not only present your products but also make them easily searchable and accessible. It therefore becomes all the more important that you ensure your developer knows his business well and is able to custom-build an inventory management software that complements your store and is useful to your customers.

While I agree that this legislation will be ineffective in fighting piracy, I don't think Google is concerned about the effects of piracy. This would seriously threaten any site that deals with legally questionable material. Instead of dealing with a DMCA notice, now they are threatening with the loss of their site. And it's not like you have to try to infringe when dealing with user submitted content. In the Google vs Viacom lawsuits, the Viacom legal team brought up videos submitted by Viacom Marketing employees as evidence of infringement.

Simply counting calories will reduce your weight. I can pretty much confirm that now. Over the last eight months I tried to stay below 1900 calories per day and I have lost 17 kilo. As much as I wanted to, I did not manage to change my diet in any meaningful way, I’m just eating less. I didn’t even manage to keep up a regular sports routine. But my fallback – mercilessly tracking my weight and counting calories – saved me. (I would very much want to eat better. Many of the things I’m eating now have so high calorie densities that I can only eat very little of them.)

I do know that I will have to track my weight and count calories for the rest of my life. That’s ok. (As a teenager I already lost a substantial amount of weight with the same method but I gained it all and more back because I stupidly stopped tracking my weight and counting calories. I’m confident that I won’t make the same mistake again.)
