Look, it's was the Teachers duty (as much
as the parents) to take care of the kids
and see that they weren't fucked up in the
head.
All the Teachers is that school had the
responbility over the kids. For them to
fail in that duty, and one of the get killed
in the process is there fault.
For them to then come out and blame the usual
suspects of Games and Movies, is the height of
the "not my fault" american culture.
You don't need to be that rich, the Cryonics
Institue will freeze you, provided you've got
a life insurance policy worth $30,000 which pays out to them. Thats affordable by anyone with a
job.
But the P4 sucks at Unreal Tournament Benchmarks.
But of course once you crank you video resolution
up to a decent level, (I play UT at 1280 by 1024,
nice for sniper work), the video card
becomes the limitting step, and both chips
score the sale.
The US pilots have one thing they need to
apologise for. To the US goverment they need to apologise for not doing the right thing and ditching the plane in to the ocean, rather than let a highly secret spying equipment fall into the hands of a enermy power.
Having side that if the plane was so secret,
why didn't they have a self destruct system in
case of falling into enermy hands.
Amsterdam is not stoned off its ass, anyone more
than rest of western countries are drunk off
the ass. People smoke spliffs in cafes if they
want to, but you don't see as many off there
face wrecks as you do drunks in the any other
big city. The great majority of amsterdamers
are normal respectable people going about they
business. A lot of the tourist of course are
there for the drugs and prositution that they
can't get in there own repressive countries.
For math heavy science programming
task probably the best people would be physics/
math trained people who became programmers. I
took that route as did many of the my fellow graduates, for the simple reason that there are
a lot more jobs in computing than science and
they pay better to boot.
Sciencific programming is a bitch.
Not because of the complex data structures or
a difficult object model or a difficult
language, because the reverse is true of those.
Its because the debugging is a bitch. You enter
equations into the program, can run it for up
to a weak, and then you plot your results and
wow lookout the results come out wierd obviously
unphysical. What happened?
If you luckly your find a subtract instead of
a plus sign in your maths or the program after
hours of searching, if your unlucky, one of your
matrixes was ill-condictioned, or your problem
was outside the convergence domain of one of
your methods, of it gets trapped in a local
mimimum instead of a global one.
None these mathematical problems are like anything a normal programmer has learned to
deal with. Scientic programming is an art
that takes a lot of training to learn.

"IT Managers are a huge marketing segment",
Hello, Any IT Manager buying PCs worth his

at all. They should have done their research,

Any IT Manager who thinks "nobody ever got fired for buying IBM" should be sacked on the spot.

Newton and Liebiez who both invented calculas
about the same time where both already promanant
in the sciences, and calculus became used very
quickly after its invention, you see calculus
was invent to solve physical problems, not as
a trick of pure mathematics, in fact it took
about a hundred years for mathemations to except
differention as a vigarously defined operation.
Rip is bad, but it law isn't so bad that it

From the artice, Intether works on windows and using OS to check if its code or documents are being hacked. But if you boot into linux (or
any other OS on the system), and
access the Intether software from their there
can't fight back.
Obviously any such system can always be hacked
because software can never prove that the
environment it is running in is working is
as it expected. Such software could be running
on a emulator, or with a modified OS, or faked
hardware abstraction level, that subverts its
action, and the content protection system would
never be able to detect it.

As another brit, I have to disagree with
the above. The BBC has made some classic programs,
buts its just as full of lazy dross as the
commercial channels here. Its just a case of Sturgeons Law. All media organisations get full of lazy people and petty
political plays, and start forgetting to bother
to make quality programs or to try new things.
Despite its state funded nature the BBC likes
to go after high ratings just as much the
commercial channels. Its needs popularty to
give it its political reason to exist.
At the moment theres a like of quality programming
here, the only programmes pushing any boundries
are SPACED and Armstrong and Miller both on
channel 4. Channel 4 is a hybrid channel its
funded by advertising but was given a garantied
cut of advertising from the ITV channels. Now
you might thing not having to answer to anyone
would need a channel staid and lazy. But somehow
the reverse was true and it consistantly pushes
the boundaries of art (and some would say
taste and decency). So I think the answer comes
down to a simple give programme makers room
to try new things.
P.S. Best thing I saw today on TV, Starship
Troopers the series (Sky one).
This is Harlan Ellison, the same man that once

The Above text about Cherenkow radiation is a
troll made up on the spot.
Cherenkov radiation is the light produced
by a charged particle that is moving faster than
the local speed of light in a refractive medium.
e.g. in glass light moves at about 70% of c. If
a electron moves faster by.7c in glass it will
lose energy and emit cherenkov radiation. Its
like the optical equivalent of a sonic boom.
Cherenkov raditation is the erie blue glow you
see when strongly radioactive material is placed
in water. Chrenkov radiation is not at all
dangerous the ammount of light for all known
source is tiny compared with sunlight.
It of course cannot pentatrate the ground anymore
than sunlight light can.
In ammount of chrenkov raditation expected from
the SNO experiement is of the order of a few
tens of photons a day.
