Another ubiqitous CS teacher. Name of Dr. Gary Stafford.
I live in OZ (.au) and Dr. Stafford was from Canada. He would always turn up to lectures with a 1 Litre mug of Coffee, which he would proceed to demolish withing 30 minutes.
I had him for a first year subject, introduction to computer hardware and operating systems. He ended up showing us how to code a micro kernel for an old nova 2. A very old machine, possibly before the PDP series from DEC. Needless to say, i's console consisted with switches and LEDs.
The first thing I rember from his lectures was his examples.
(Think of this in a kermit the frog voice, after too much coffee)
"This is how you can perform addition in B:
auto fish = 1, frog = 2, cow;
fish + frog = cow;"
They were the coolest machines in those days. They had a speech synthesizer that worked with parsec:
"Press fire to begin..."
"Warning, enemy ship approaching..."
Probably the only other funky game on the TI-99 4a was "Grog" which had to be loading in from a generic audio tape.
An even more obscure computer that I once had was the Dick Smith Wizard. Dick Smith being the Australian version of Radio Shack.
This thing was so dinky...The keyboard would pull apart to become two joystick/gamepaddles and the keys would form the buttons that you could use... It even came with a book documenting the assembly language for it.
Slashdot Mirror
Like all software that MS uses, it probably changed it to suit their needs.
PDAs are currently too big and solid, IMHO.
Once they boil them down the size of a back pocet and make them from a material that is both flexible and durable they will remain a pain in the ass.
Luckly this is not too far off with plastic transistors under development.
Maybe Slashdot can make a team and report it's progress on the main page.

A CS legend if I ever saw one.
Because of the backing off of 3dfx from the card market we may see on-board 3dfx chips.
How can we boycott the RIAA in Australia?
Sweet. If this goes through then there may be hopes for open source DVD.
They could have done that.
;-)
But they are prolly running IIS

What if someone really does want to say "ILOVEYOU" to the recipient? Think of it, you could be responsible for the breakup of millions of couples ;-p

Soon they will realise that killing in war should be a crime since it also inhumane & immoral.
Hence, they will decide confilcts with server benchmarks. ;-)
In a utopian world: M$ products are classed as biological weapons and their use deemed a war crime.
