I received my BA through a similar program that used to be offered by the State of New York through their fully accredited Regents College program (now called Excelsior College, and not offering this pathway to a degree anymore). When I started I already had about a semester's worth of credits from various colleges; I sent in those transcripts and took two CLEP tests (each worth about three units), and three GRE subject exams in Economics, History, and English Literature (each worth 30 units, or one full year). A balance of Humanities, Social Science, and Science/Math credits were required.

I started in Sept. 1987, I passed my last exam in December and started graduate school in January (didn't graduate). It was a wonderful program. I even wrote a book about it and sold maybe 25 copies.

That degree has helped me get several jobs that required a college degree, and now I'm getting ready to go back to grad school again.
They fixed the too-small-font problem (finally!!) at the beginning of March last year, making it a very reasonable read, and without changing the overall design much.
I don't disagree that what you point out is the ideal.

Given the 4 word response, I thought I'd mention that standards from criminal law will not apply here and that the case will be decided on a balance of probabilities. I don't know this guy but I do hope he gets a fair shake in court.
No, see, this is wrong. The WTO ruling hinged on the argument that the US specifically allows gambling (horse, dog, state lotteries) but its prohibition Internet gambling amounts to restraint of trade and that Antigua was harmed by this. The only meaningful remedy was to give Antigua the "rights to violate" a certain amount of US copyrights (could you imagine the US actually paying a fine?).

That much money would hire a competent criminal defense solo-practitioner for enough hours to work through many or most of those options. And for those who can't afford it, at the federal level public defenders are similarly credentialed as prosecutors and are by law paid the same (for obvious reasons). And there is always pro se representation with the help of legal aid clinics and prison law libraries. Prisoners with no money file huge numbers of appeals and petitions every year using these resources.

Now, Aaron Swartz did blow through a ton of money defending himself. But he also hired an entire team from one of the top white collar firms in the country. Moreover, his case was complex. He couldn't very well argue "the DNA says someone else did it!" He was a political activist engaging in civil disobedience. He was stuck arguing that while he did what the prosecution claims he did, what he did shouldn't be a crime. You can't really extrapolate from his case to argue that it's impossible to take advantage of the various procedural protections because of the expense of doing so.
I will argue. Junk fax is a message send to a number for no reason. In my example I would only send messages (print) on the printers that would be low with toner. I would NOT print on every single printer just because I can. Huge difference.

Well, you can easily test your theory in some cases. Many of MIT's open courseware classes include the exams. Are they impossible for someone without any knowledge on the subjects? Pretty much, but if you follow the course content, they are passable.

This is wildly dogmatic and not really based in reason. The risks of a relationship are evident, but what about the upside? Imagine the chance to vet someone over time for cultural and professional fit for a role that they might excel in. When a company gets large enough where there is zero interaction day to day are there no possibilities that this might work? Setting aside a lack of disclosure, is the leverage so great that someone is a liability having a social context? It just seems like people are pretty black and white on this.

This is all tremendously innovative and exciting, and you are doing a superb job of articulating it.
Congratulations, and thank you for sharing your experience.
> 20-30 years ago many courses had 100% of the mark depend on the Final exam. It was very common for students to do nothing for most of the year and then madly cram in the last few weeks.

It's still that way in most law school classes.
Even if #4 is possible (I rather doubt it), you shouldn't really do that. It breaks the barrier between code and configuration by making the former influence the latter.

Such approach is simply not scalable. I don't know what secret_token.rb is (I do Python) but if it's anything like an HMAC key for encrypting your session cookies, your app will break once deployed to more than one frontend because the cookies will suddenly become tied to specific dyno.
"Going beyond the facts from the Financial Times’ report, there are several benefits to Twitter providing a liquidity release valve for employees sitting on tons of stock. First, it’s sure to make these employees happier... The ability to sell some stock means they could upgrade their lifestyle to be more in-line with their worth. Giving them this option could keep great employees from leaving the company." Why yes; because rich employees are MUCH less likely to quit their day jobs.

>We'll see the fight with VP9 and Daala very soon.

Let's be realistic here.

Nobody particularly cared what Google or Mozilla were doing before and there is nothing to suggest it is going to change now. It wouldn't be a close fight with just Apple but against all the MPEG companies I don't even know why they bother.

Wow! What a grossly offensive thing for the courts to support, regardless of the fact the outcome was a net negative.

Thanks for posting that. I had not heard of that particular case.
You've described maybe 80% of the people who have commented on this case.

I don't think so. They seem more like security cams or similar. Plus being able to pan and zoom them around makes me think they really aren't meant for more than the person who set them up.
This is correct, though you could cause a flood of requests that block input from the real user (each has to be dismissed in order).

H.265 will 'add' a bit more than ten years of life to the encumbrance, so in that regard it is worse.

The competitive pressure of RF formats against H.264 drove the licensing fees _very_ low (with many use-cases made no cost, but even the w/ fee cases are basically 1/10th the AAC royalty rates). H.265 looks like it will have many more patent holders too. But it will likely be several years before there exists an even incomplete H.265 pool license, so it may be a while to see how much worse (or better) the rates are compared to H.264.
Google Calendar does do natural language parsing and has many different views and can export in all sorts of formats and has widespread support in other applications and on many devices. It can be set to automatically add SMS reminders too.

It is Google but apart from that it meets your stated spec.
It's pretty simple: don't get your SO a job at your company. If you end up in a relationship with someone at your company, one of you should probably change jobs.

Having said this, the sexual harassment laws are a minefield with serious unintended consequences, and there is a cadre of lawyers ready to start what amount to shakedowns at the drop of a hat.

I once heard someone say (very cynically, and I hope not truthfully) that he preferred to hire "young white males of means" because he believed they would have no cause of action to sue. Apparently even such shamefully prejudiced behavior is no longer protection against this sort of outcome.
For those interested, here's the actual quote from Woz:

Totally wrong. Personalities and where the ideas of computers affecting society did not come from Jobs. They inspired me and were widely spoken at the Homebrew Computer Club. Steve came back from Oregon and came to a club meeting and didn't start talking about this great social impact. His idea was to make a $20 PC board and sell it for $40 to help people at the club build the computer I'd given away. Steve came from selling surplus parts at HalTed he always saw a way to make a quick buck off my designs (this was the 5th time).

The lofty talk came much further down the line.

I never looked like a professional. We were both kids. Our relationship was so different than what was portrayed. I'm embarrassed but if the movie is fun and entertaining, all the better. Anyone who reads my book iWoz can get a clearer picture.

Hey, someone's got to make money off of those free online courses...
Define 'lived'?

While in the Marines I deployed from Okinawa with JTF Sea Angel to Bangladesh, for a month and a few days, disaster relief after a cyclone.

Some of the things that stuck with me:

Footwear. Before I deployed, I had purchased from the uniform shop in Okinawa, for $30 US, jungle boots. Nothing special, just 'boots', like a million other guys have owned.

The Bengali soliders - enlisted guys - that drove around with our general could not believe the quality footwear that a low-ranking enlisted guy (me) could buy for a fraction of my paycheck.

Their boots, the best money could buy there, for guys who were their elite soliders, were garbage by comparison. Badly made, looked like hell, you couldn't give them away in the US.

Power Tools. Talking backhoes, bulldozers, like that. They didn't exist.

In the West, you need a trench dug for a sewer line. Hire a guy, with a backhoe. A few hours later: trench.

In Bangladesh, you hire a hundred guys, give them mattocks and shovels and pickaxes and it takes forever to get it done. Because 'by hand'.

Consider that: it's cheaper to hire guys to dig a ditch than to hire a backhoe and operator. Think of the misery and backbreaking labor involved in just putting in a 100 meter stretch of pipe.
A. His lawyer likely would prefer he not do that.

B. Allegedly.

C. It could easily go bad later, leading to "if we break up I'll get you fired" type statements.

D. An executive of this level has enough power to at least make the threat of punitive actions have weight.

I don't think we have anything to go on beyond a blog post from one of the parties.
I left China Jan 2008. He was still big then.
Whether it is built into the browser or not means nothing so long as Flash dominates web video. And Adobe will already need to license H.265 because of Premiere.

So VP9 is pretty much a non-starter.
There is no shortage of laws against criminal conspiracy and contributing acts which are applicable for the scenario you describe... but they charge the property instead of the person because the property doesn't have civil rights and so the states' burden is much lower.

Civil forfeiture is outright evil. Wink and nod arms-length crime can be handled without it.
Any concern that the student then focuses on the assessment alone, less interested and less engaged in activities/classes/work that would otherwise teach her how to learn, how to work in a team, etc?

Does this focus students on an outcome that is arguably less important than the process to get there?

Awesome account of the birth and experience. Thanks for sharing and going into detail about such intimate moments. We had both of our kids at home via midwife, but the experience obviously has similarities to the hospital. Our second was breech and also did not make a sound at first. They warned us about that with breech babies but it was still very unsettling until she started crying -- as it was for you.

The last paragraph is perfect, couldn't have said it better myself.

It's extremely doubtful that square would have allowed him to stay.

I'm guessing they offered him the choice of resign and possibly vest a few more options or not resign and be fired by square.
It's probably because this law was established by the efforts of second wave feminism (1960s-1980s). Those other ones are far older and more fundamental social behavior laws that aren't enforced nearly as much.

I'm hypothesizing that second wave feminism is an issue dear to the current generation of judges and prosecutors, since they were young then, which is why it gains far more traction in the American court of law. Even reality TV Judge Judy references second wave feminism in some of her judgments.

I went straight to Wikipedia, which at least tends to have decent citations to follow. While it doesn't seem like anyone has a copy of his resume, the at-the-time President of Charity Navigator [1] says he literally lied on it [2]. I don't really see why Stamp would weigh in unless such a claim had actually been made, and Stamp's call for expulsion doesn't appear to have been rescinded.

No, because the government attempted a civil forfeiture.

But the thing that bugs me about this case is that the local police didn't do anything at all to warn Caswell or work with him to reduce crime at his business. The city police officers are, after all, his peers and neighbors and you would think they would have acted with better intentions and morals.
Of course not, as XP dates back to 2001. And this includes IE on XP, BTW.
Google signed the MPEG-LA license agreement which would put Motorola's patents into the MPEG-LA pool as well. Arguments are Monday, so one way or another, it will be clarified sooner or later.
This extremely verbose article makes the whole thing sound vaporous by not really discussing the actual data. The journal article itself is a much better read.

Any drug needs careful study and regulatory approval, so you do kinda need some funding... If it really works well and has few side effects and you want to get it to market in under 10 years, then maybe 300 million would be sufficient...
Where he the owner of an expensive hotel, rather than a cheap motel, serving primarily wealthy people, rather than poor people, in which rockstars and high-end escorts occasionally OD'd, rather than crack-whores and nobodies, we would not even dream of considering him responsible or even seizing his property.

That we are even having the discussion and considering his potential 'guilt' is a problem.
They gave it to mice in the actual study, and it still worked.
Having children is usually a selfish and/or conformist choice.

Many people have kids because that's what's expected of them, and because that's what all their friends and family are doing. They also usually hope to be less lonely with kids, have their kids support or take care of them when they're older, be able to mold their kids to be like them or further their goals, and have a sort of existence after their deaths through their kids, or even fix up their marriage by having kids -- all selfish reasons to have kids.

But the kids never asked to be born. As parents, you are essentially forcing life upon another being.

According to Silenus, "the best thing for a man is not to be born, and if already born, to die as soon as possible."[1]

This is not to mention the plague of overpopulation and all the resulting problems that unrestrained breeding has led to.

Funny, the last time I saw him on the Wanhui (which I can hardly watch anymore anyways) was about 2008. He's been in the background for a long time now, though I'm sure he's still famous and does well.
Congratulations. Nothing you have ever done will prepare you for what follows. Protip: Babies that have issues with sleeping sometimes benefit from loud background noises being played. This due to them being used to all of the noises being produced by their mother's internal organs. You can try putting a radio off a station (for the whitenoise) and raising it to 11. Or maybe a vacuum cleaner. With my child, the radio worked like a charm.

Good luck. Being a father changes you.

I wouldn't recommend "KeepAlive On" in Apache using the standard mpm_worker model unless you really know what you're doing. It does conserve some TCP handshaking round-trips, but it could cause resource starvation (in the form of denied connections, or connections timed out that are waiting in the TCP listen queue) when MaxClients is reached. Children are precious and limited, and many could be occupied waiting for subsequent requests that may never arrive - from the time the connection is received to the time it is disconnected, the child process can't do anything else.

In general, keep-alives are best used with event-driven webservers like nginx, which doesn't have this issue. It's a common practice to put an nginx reverse proxy or a good load balancer like an F5 BIG-IP (with keep-alives on) in front of Apache (with keep-alives off) for this reason.

If you use this model, be sure to set the proxy_buffers in nginx high enough to consume the largest possible response from the Apache backend, because Apache children will also block waiting for clients to receive complete responses.

I agree that the prosecutor went too far. But there certainly seems to be a case if just a minor one. I hate to use the adage but if you don't want to deal with the prosecutors you shouldn't get caught.

On the case, I know a lot of technical people are responding that this case overreach on the prosecutor's side. I wish people would look at this from both sides. How does she know that Aaron was truly innocent? I bet she had expert witnesses on her side saying that Aaron was doing something illegal and excessive. Everyone is saying that he had access to download those files. But the prosecutor is looking at all of his seemingly suspicious behavior. 4 million downloads through a custom script. He walked into the computer closet to hard-wire in.

If you are looking at the Aaron case abstractly and comparing his behavior with other cases. I bet the prosecutor thought they had something with the case against Aaron. He certainly wasn't entirely innocent. He didn't download 4-5 documents through a browser like a typical user.
These are just simple copy installs and they don't require any cygwin install.

When I read things like this, I'm amazed libertarians have such a social stigma against them. Austrian economics is debatable in very large populations with entrenched governments but these social issues are so obviously wrong and it seems (civil) libertarians are the only ones highly vocal against them... yet they would still be considered radical in most contexts.
The Wikipedia article[1] outlines various features of this standard, for instance predictive motion vectors are being utilized more heavily, not unlike actual vector graphics. This is impressive however it requires more CPU (naturally we have more CPU available compared to when H.264 was standardized).

With regards to hardware: performance/watt is a commonly touted benchmark for measuring the quality of hardware however architectural changes should be considered as well (ie: today's CPUs do more per Hz than yesterday's CPUs).

>Would you like to live under such systems?

Not particularly. As I pointed out, protection of the innocent is a highly desirable feature of a legal system. But to say that "Law is there to protect the innocent first, if not, then it has no purpose" is just wrong.
