What you should do (and indeed we do do) is tokenise the file first, so all variable names and the like disappear into the mist before you start comparing them.
If you're trying to weed out frequent misdialers, then add them to your phonebook, create a group "misdialers" and set the ring volume to 0 for the caller group. If you can't set a ring volume but have got a shiny phone, upload an empty.mp3 as a ringtone. Works on my old Nokia 6210 just nicely.
Grow up. People seem to think Vista developers are morons. If this is used as a prefetch cache then stop thinking about it as swap which is entirely different. You watch what you use that could be sped up (let's such a bunch of office libraries) and you put them on the USB memory. Next week, lo and behold, you're still using office. Still no more writes. Next week? If you use other stuff, and there's room, you put other stuff on it. If you stop using office and have run out of space, you remove it and put more relevent stuff on. As someone else has pointed out, it could spot patterns of what you use on weekends and adapt. But that still only rolls out to 2 big writes a week + tweaking.
So your flash doesn't get constantly rewritten, the world doesn't end, and Microsoft doesn't employ morons.
The biggest problem is likely to be stuff that the exam boards assume you are using. I know where my sister works the exam boards assume one of two packages that are windows only. I suspect you'd need to check this one carefully, but that it wouldn't be a show stopper.
Other than that, I've heard of schools in the UK going down the LTSP road and it being excellent. If someone is messing around, you kill their X, move them to the front, and log them back into exactly where they were. Kid kicks a power plug (like they all do) and vapes somebody elses machine and it doesn't matter. It also means all those old machines aren't a problem, and you can actually accept much more donated hardware than you could in the past, as you're actually running your code on meatier machines in the server room.
I find that if you set it up badly (just throw the speakers in roughly the right areas, but nowhere near great), drop the volume on the surround speakers. A small amount of poorly placed surround tends to sound better than none or a normal amount.
You're confused as to the difference between HDCP and HDMI, which is not surprising as a lot of articles seem to. HDMI is little more than DVI + sound + signalling. HDCP is the 'content protection' that is causing the fuss. HDMI actually looks quite nice, as you get fewer cables, can shovel 8-channels of 192kHz 24-bit uncompressed audio down it, and get signalling that should be able to provide a single remote system with the minimum of fuss. How well the signalling will work in practice...
One of the requirements of HD Ready is that you support HDCP, to prevent the problem of people buying HD tvs and then not being able to watch in HD. There are a fair few TVs out there with DVI (that support HDCP) but not HDMI.
Why do I doubt that 10,000 garden PCs offering up idle time will compete with the current t500 leader (280.6 TFlop/s, 131,072 processors)?
Seeing as even a moderate sized cluster is say a dedicated 256 nodes, surely this isn't going to offer anything more than loose change. 1 million PCs, chipping in 5% of their time sounds useful.
As long as you clicked lots of options to make it behave somewhat sanely. Scoping by default has always been a little loose when I've used VC++ such that:
for (int i...)
for (int i...)
certainly always used to not compile with the default settings, as it claimed that the 'i' variables clashed, and resulted in lots of code being written like:
They didn't use ATI in Onyx 3xx at all. They were still InfiniteReality (and better off for it). The Onyx4 used ATI FireGL X1 cards, and the Prism uses either X2s or X3s. The 3000 line was nice, I have a soft spot for our old Onyx 3400. And checkout what the L2 controller uses on this 6 year old kit: Linux PPC.
I'm not sold on your explanation. The latest SGI boxes come with ATI FireGL X3 cards that can do all the filtering/antialiasing/shading that you could want. If you're not getting the quality it *is* the software's fault not the hardware.
I also don't get why it was hard, the SGC capture device SGI sell simply has a DVI in, and it's OpenML 1.1 compliant, so the code to capture a frame at full res really isn't that hard. There are issues if you want to capture at 1600x1200@60Hz simply because that's a shedload of data to deal with, but a lot of the time you can simply generate a frame, capture a frame.
SGI lost the workstation market a long time ago (I'd say the O2 was the last corker) and they lost a lot of their high end graphics advantages after selling a load of patents to nVidia. An old Onyx 3000 still has some nice features that make them nice machines, but the newer kit is looking a little too commodity.
That slightly misses the point. If a geek is pissed off with EA and decides to vote with their wallet, then even though it only affects 1 game purchase, if EA piss off enough individual people, that's a lot of sales gone. So it easily could register in the thousands.

But the US is too lovely and Christian to do the same?

Not in a legally recognised way. If you take a scot's passport it'll most certainly say that they're a british citizen.
It's a bit like referring to China as the Republic of China. Teehee. Not embarrassing at all, no siree.
All the while noting that England isn't a nation, and thus English isn't a nationality.
No, remember SGI just recently shifted to Linux...
But even with your example, the interceptor makes a foolish mistake and misinterprets "No!".
I know this might not be entirely useful, but we've got a card from SGI that does this:

For this sort of resolution I think xvidcap works pretty well.

HDMI is unlikely to be required, HDCP over DVI should be fine. The european 'HD Ready' badge only requires HDCP not HDMI.
There are already boxes out there that remove the HDCP, but they'll get their certs revoked and cease to work in future I'd guess.

Indeed. If you're not talking about the mouth of the river, then I've walked across it near Henley about 10-15 years ago.

Hahahahahaa. Ahem. I think you'll find after a basic survey of people in the third world, OpenDocument and friends are not really that important.
We've had all sorts of warnings about this bugger, but I've yet to actually see an infected machine.
Is this just hysteria whisked up by the AV vendors?
Nah, Kryten was an addition who was added later on.
Look back to the old stuff, like "Better than Life", much better.
