LASCR - I should know this, but alas... UART - Universal Asynchronous Receive and Transmit CMOS - Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor TTL - Transistor-transistor Logic Schmitt - Gate lacking the separation between logical 0 and 1, instead switches smoothly at one voltage on the rising edge, another on the falling edge. Open Collector - Gate at high impedance instead of 0 or 1 Totem-pole - process of creating a giant OR-gate with a bunch of chained open collector gates and a pull-up resistor hFE - don't remember exactly, measures current ratios for BJTs Vcc - Common Collector voltage - usually 5V for standard TTL. Don't know the rest.
(Ergh, I'm too unawake to figure out how to get the spacing right...)
Start out with a line like this (in Perl, of course):
$choices = int(rand(50000));
The Bill Clinton function is something like this:
sub bill_clinton { my $do = $choices % 3; if ($do == 0) { say("I did not have sex with that woman"); } elsif ($do == 1) { say("It depends on what the definition of is is"); } elsif ($do == 2) { say("It's time to end the politics of personal destruction"); } }
Similarly, the Al Gore function is something like this:
sub al_gore { my $do = $choices % 2; if ($do == 0) { say("I took the initiative in creating the Internet"); } elsif ($do == 1) { say("Vote for me; I'm solid as an oak"); } }
This place has a 30-day evaluation version. Of all the freebies I tried during my Windows days (I'm on the wagon now), this was the best (but it's not as good as Exceed, of course). It's huge, though. It's pretty easy to setup with or without its internal window manager. If you use the internal, you can run it transparently like Exceed so apps look like Windows apps (titlebars and all that crap). It does *stop* working after 30 days, and it really screws around with your startup files and registry, but if you need to use it longer, you can uninstall and reinstall.
Hehehe... it's interesting to see what platforms the companies use to *develop* their games before porting them to Wintel for distribution... Not all Linux releases are ports per se.
That is the biggest challenge facing educational systems. It's also one thing American systems do not handle well. Students underprepared for the course will struggle to keep up, while overprepared students occasionally do poorly because they are bored.
One solution at the college level is to increase elective offerings to offer multiple difficulty levels, but that is usually cost-ineffective.
Our Philosophy professor actually recommended that we read Bill's new book for a good perspective on the internet. We EEs in the back gave him some really nasty looks...

Thanks Bill Gates and Al Gore for bringing us the internet.
End Sarcasm.

No, wait, nevermind, I have a brain.

"We think that this will extend the rights of end users," Nimmer said.
Oh yeah... That's what it'll do.
So is there anybody on this committee that actually uses computers?

Maybe I should sue my college because there aren't enough women in my classes.
