Actually, you might be surprised. A mathematically-oriented background is a great preparation for advanced study other sciences. Advanced study in any field works its way toward mathematical (and these days computational) foundations. Master's programs will take anybody willing to pay, and if you've got a good dose of general intelligence and analytic ability, you can get accustomed to and succeed in a new field. At the worst, you'd be a few years behind schedule compared to your peers.
However, (i)("RIAA-style" complaint.) the original author's effort was re-used without so much as attribution, and this lacks class.
(ii)("GPL-style" complaint.) the post, modified, is of lesser quality than the original. Since the changes are not noted, the modified re-post injures the reputation of the original article.
The original article was commentary on Win95/NT, which has the particular flaws mentioned in the original artical. As an assessment of Windows Server 2003, which is rather improved over Win95, the article appears a bit shrill.
If you look for a citation of this fact, you will see that its not true. This misunderstanging stems from a (too common) misreading of one case.
Corporations are not persons, they are conspiracies of individuals hiding from responsibility from their actions. Lots of details here.

While this result may be considered "unfair" according to a particular mathematical definition, the point you miss is that, in the example you give (and other Arrow examples), the fact is that the favorites are well distributed, and teh preferences are highly cyclical.
In other words, Arrow's theorem expresses that there is no way to choose a winner in a way consistent with every possibility on complicated preferences.
In other words, voting systems fail when the people can't even vaguely agree on what they want. What woudl you expect?
Instant-runoff is still far better than plurarilily voting, which consistently fails even in simple landslide cases.

Unless you pay the $250 fee and get nothing. It's a scam.
There is no way to know exactly how much your new machine will cost until all deposits are received by Marbella Technologies and we negotiate the order with the reseller.
If you decide to cancel your order after your new system is committed, you are not obligated to pay the remaining balance, however, your reservation fee is retained.
Even with good ISOs (I checked the md5sum), the installer still can't handle my IBM mouse (just like 2.3), and the installer trashed by partition map (see the warning and "workaround" at http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/pipermail/yell owdog-general/2003-April/007186.html ).
The installer locked up somewhere on disk2, leaving me with a hosed system.
When you get your "free" cellphone, you're paying $500 for a phone plus 1 year of service. There's no subsidy. If you but a console, the vendor is _hoping_ that you buy a lot of games to recoup the costs, and the closed nature of the system is a trap lain for you to guarantee their profit.
If a console manufacturer wants to cover hardware costs with software sales, and do it fairly, your console should cost $500 and include vouchers for 10 games, so customers know what they are getting.
You are precisely correct. Once stocks became a pop-culture phenomenon, it became the same "sit dow, shut up, and fork over your dollars for pretty pictures and rationed suspense" that is the cinema, television, AOL, and newsmedia.

Thank you!
Cross-platform kornshell scripts, no longer a dream!
How does one find the mapping from extension to filetype. .js -> JSFile and .vbs->VBSFile, but suppose I want a .sh file to open in notepad?
You mention
These don't work:
ftype sh=%SystemRoot%\notepad.exe "%1"
ftype SHFile=%SystemRoot%\notepad.exe "%1"
Any idea?
Thanks,
Mike

"PATRIOT ACT" It's an acronym, not a word.
"Patriot" is no better spelling than PatRiot.

It's not you, the Apple Pro Keyboard likes to repeat the "d". I have the "cdd" problem on my Mac at home and nowhere else.
Anyway, "alias cd cdd" solves the problem.

Is there a list of laptops that work, or must one click on ahundred manufacturer links looking for a hit?
Hi troll,
Here's what the Capital Times printed:

Won't launch with X11.app :-(, and interestingly, pasting text from xterm into another app crashes xterm....
see that changelog?
big ups to hugh dickins!

s/spammers/FBI/ , and it reads more clearly.
Well, Google, for one, started as a Stanford university project, not a commercial project.

Watch out!
YDL 3.0 will trash the partition map on one of your hard drives if you have more than one.
You can't fix it unless you install YDL, which is not very easy, since YDL installer is quite crash-prone while it's busy trashing your hard drive!
No.
