The OU College of Engineering has required laptops for its students for several years. We actually have a (growing) wireless network spreading across campus, where students can access all of our servers and their data files, as well as the WWW. On a nice day, you can walk by Engineers' Court and see students sitting outside by the fountains or under the trees working on projects or just surfing the web.

We use the system for more than e-mail, however. Several courses use a BlackBoard collabaration website to work on projects, turn in and grade daily grades, and supplement the classroom lectures.

If you are interested in learning more, check out The Engineering Computer Network's Website, or our laptop requirements for the past year at this page from the FAQ.

Go Sooners!

Just thought I'd mention the University of Oklahoma has had this program going for incoming freshman engineering students for two years now (next year it will be required for all undergraduate engineering students). They have also implemented an ever-growing campus wire-less network, which I think is pretty cool.

There is one given to Medawar & Burnet in 1960 in Physiology or Medicine back in the 50's on the mechanism of the immune system and it apparently is being refuted by work done by Polly Matzinger at the NIH. Also another guy, Stanley Prusiner, won the Nobel in 1997 for the discovery that prions can cause disease; This award is being criticized on the grounds that there is no real proof that unusual proteins cause disease. So at least two Nobels could be invalidated because of new research or having awarded the prize too quickly.

Had you paid attention in history class, you would know that you are protected from such intrusion on your rights by the Sedition Act of 1798.

Section 1: Be it enacted . . ., That if any persons shall unlawfully combine or conspire together, with intent to oppose any measure or measures of the government of the United States, which are or shall be directed by proper authority, or to impede the operation of any law of the United States, or to intimidate or prevent any person holding a place or office in or under the government of the United States, from undertaking, performing or executing his trust or duty; and if any person or persons, with intent as aforesaid, shall counsel, advise or attempt to procure any insurrection, riot. unlawful assembly, or combination, whether such conspiracy, threatening, counsel, advice, or attempt shall have the proposed effect or not, he or they shall be deemed guilty of a high misdemeanor, and on conviction, before any court of the United States having jurisdiction thereof, shall be punished by a fine not exceeding five thousand dollars, and by imprisonment during a term not less than six months nor exceeding five years; and further, at the discretion of the court may be holden to find sureties for his good behaviour in such sum, and for such time, as the said court may direct.

Of course, if you're not an American citizen, this post does not apply to you.

However, people like you can inflict a lot of suffering on a lot of people in the short term before people see through you and see what you are about. You are talking about jailing people for downloading Doom or buying their kids Mortal Kombat, yet another reason for jack booted government thugs to knock down the doors of law abiding peaceful American citizens and put guns to their heads. That's the use of force your ilk never object to, a use of force you and your ilk seem to relish with unholy glee. Otherwise, how would you enforce your censorship, someone is going to have to go to jail and there must be uncounted millions of copies of the game Doom out there. They aren't just going to evaporate because you say they're bad.

I will resist people like you until I die, as Patrick Henry said, "I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"

Why don't you try Iran, I think they have just the kind of government you want already.

MM5: http://www.mmm.ucar.edu/mm5/mm 5-home.html
This is the primary research model used in the met. community and is generally used for short range prediction (out to ~48 hours). Fairly easy to work with though getting all of your data set up can be a bit of a hassle.

ARPS: http://www.caps.ou.edu:80/ARPS/
The ARPS model is being worked on by the Center for Analysis and Prediction of Storms (CAPS) at the Univ. of Oklahoma. The goal of CAPS is to provide short term predictions of hazardous weather. Everything but the kitchen sink in the code. Not the fastest code out there for sure.

WRF: http://wrf.fsl.noaa.gov/
The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model is the next generation community model that is currently being developed. This model will be used both for research as well as operational forecasting. This is the successor to MM5. The NWS will begin to run this model operationally at some point once development gets far enough along.

If you look at the Net shot, you'll notice that they've a box for ternary DNS.

I find this really amusing, because while Ternary is close, I think what they really were shooting for was Tertiary.

The trick is that any mirror of the actual distro. (an not just the iso file) will have this directory of images of the installer. They are from the installation manual.

The /.ing of a server is not cool for those who have to deal with it, but let's keep mirrors out of this. They do get the stuff early. case in point: the University of Oklahoma mirror, for example, got it. This may seem trivial, but I'm on that network and I know how bogged down and slow it is!
