Before you herald this progress, spare a thought for the poor memory-trick freaks who will now have to spend half of their lives memorizing another trillion digits of Pi.
heu? what is the point of dividing by 113 ? being able to revert back to radiant "easily".
I would thought we use 360 because it is divisible by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 40, 45, 60, 72, 90, 120, 180, and 360 which is fairly convenient.
I believe you are confusing rational numbers and real numbers. rational numbers are those that can be expressed as p/q where p and q are prime integers.
The existence of real numbers that are not rational follows from cantor's diagonal argument : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantor's_diagonal_argument
Proofs of the irrationality of pi can be found on wikipedia : proof
I was going to post the same thing. "Beggars in Spain" and the two following books by Nancy kress are really good. It worth the reading but I am not sure they are still easy to find.
heu, it is not...
On their search engine you can search by operating system which features ubuntu or freedos/linux. There can not be this choice in all categories, but it was present in the first 3 I just tried.
I wrote homebrew code for the nintendo ds. I'll make some test to see how it changes. I definitely liked using C++ there to change data structure easily. I started with generalist STL structures and changed the slowest for more dedicated/optimized ones.
I do not recall wheter I used iostream or not (probably not)
C++ is far from dead in all piece of code that need performances. Intel released a C++ library called TBB to use multi-core architecture a few years ago. They do not believe it is dead. Parallel programming framework such as cilk stoped using C to use C++ to gain templates.
Don't get me wrong, for most task people don't care about the performance provided by a low level language and thus don't need it. It is even harmful to use C++ if you are not going to do it properly.
I didn't wanted to write a complete script to make that joke that could have lost non bash speaking reader. It leads to the question : is there an easy way to detect windows partition ? Is checking for NTFS enough ?
I am not sure you will crash the system by filling all the disk. Sure most applications won't like it, but the system should stay alive.
I got my internet access through roadrunner (time warner cable) and this dns redirection is also used there. For the record, I found that annoying but not critical (however, I understand people may really be unhappy with that)
I read and post on a few linux forums. Most of the sound problem people are experiencing come from pulse audio. Remove it and it works. I do not know if pulse audio is the bad giy or the application failling to interface with it. But reverting to switching back to alsa or ossv4 solves the problem most of the time.
Fortunately, we see the end of the tunnel through ossv4. I had a lot of problem with sound and switch to ossv4 when I read the/. article on it. Latency and glitches are gone. The programming interface is easier and the OSS interface is still supported by most program due to the BSDs port.
I really hope ubuntu, debian and mandrake will drop the shitty pulse audio and alsa soon.
I have seen a couple of people stating that Marxism was no better than Capitalism. I guess they are missing the point. The point is not to system which is better than Capitalism but to understand its weakness.
I often say that Capitalism sucks despite we have nothing better. Understanding why a system is bad is the first step to develop a new one. I hope the US of A will understand that Capitalism sucks. Because they have some of the best economist in the world. And we need them to build something better.
Hey I could host a nomad girl at home. We could work from there. There is wifi and 3g connectivity! Even in my bed!

Only one of the top-10 hits in Google refers to salt, and Bing fails entirely (though it does offer "Women's Sexy Mini Skirts by VENUS").
Bing seems far superior to my hormon^W^Wme.
Everybody is talking about forking it. T be politically correct and fair among genders, I suggest we spoon it instead.

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/windowspartition
my pleasure.
I am sure hell is frozen now.
yes. People are building centralized services instead of distributed ones. This is not internet anymore...

Thats why you don't use an unstable distro like ubuntu.
Correction : That is why you use a linux distribution and not ubuntu.

I do not know, but the mails are clearly present on the lkml website. (BTW, the /. effect is gone)
It has been said by a lot of people already. But anyway, thank you Alan for your work in the linux kernel.

Oh yeah. I was thinking a rate of 0.3 was huge. 0.3 percent is much better but still not acceptable.
... about a security flow in MS DOS nowadays ?
