IBM uses the POWER architecture (PPC's big brother) in their servers and mainframes. They aren't quite the same thing, but porting it wouldn't be super hard, and would probably be a good idea given all the embedded linux stuff that runs PPC.
Yeah but in any science or medical field there is always a difference between the clinical usage of something and what scientists need to do the base research.
What he means is that men and women are different neurologically, not that a woman is incapable of being a good engineer or IT worker. Which is true. Check out "The Essential Difference" by Simon Baron Cohen.
One of the big reasons that the gap in Math gets larger as students get older is because females have better skills at raw computation, but as problems get more complex and/or more word problems come into play, the males catch up as they are better at systemizing.
True it can be disastrous, but there is nothing that pisses me off more than a new boss/employee who immediately tries to lay down the law based on assumptions about a group that may be untrue.
But could you view and rotate the brain, or was this a CLI type thing? I mean 1024x1024x1024 is probably enough for detecting tumors or brain damage, but neuroscience requires more which is why this article isn't as irrelevant as some are saying.
Really, because when I was in high school just over 2 years ago it was the preppy kids using and dealing the drugs and idolizing celebrities like paris hilton. How a kid dresses is totally irrelevant. Communication skills on the other hand were just as good/bad across all the different cliques in the school.
No, the POWER architecture is what IBM uses in their servers and high end workstations. PowerPC is a stripped down version that was used by apple prior to the intel switch.
Only a Mac zealot is likely to tell you it's just a "better unix than unix". Real unix users tend to cry when trying to use it, especially since half the man pages are outdated and completely wrong because Apple changed how everything works but didn't document it.
I agree with you on the lack of good documentation for sure. I find some of the changes in the CLI to be unnecessary. I have an iBook with OS X and I find the terminal to be frustrating at times for that exact reason. Having said this, I can still see why the scientific crowd loves it. I love it because its damn hard to break, and I can still use unix-y stuff if need be.

What do you mean by "mugging" ?
Rather think "When Microsoft writes an application for Linux, I've Won.", as said by Linus Torvalds
didn't MS make an IE for linux at one point or am I hallucinating?
I had always thought of Suse as being more desktop oriented and it sounds to me like you are doing server stuff?

No, the power of the digg effect has gone up.
I smell a new meme....

I doubt your mainframe in the 70s could render 3D imagery...so I don't think this is 3 decades old.
First post....?
Mine dies every easter and starts working a few days later....

But will it run on Linux?
Seriously, if this sort of thing becomes law I could see it only being compatible with proprietary systems.
Well there is this car my dad bought me that drives off and shit....
Well, at least that way he would have 3 usable rooms....albeit smelly ones.
Yeah, in that they would both be prone to explode from time to time
....what?
Errr....you don't have to hack anything to use non Apple monitors, stop spreading FUD
.....and once you've established that she isn't a lady-boy!
