When I had a Powerbook instead of this lovely G4 tower, I ran a Cabletron wireless card with the above driver, and it worked splendidly, provided that one didn't remove the card when the computer was expecting to use it.
Prime factorization, last I checked, is not proven to be NP-complete. Thus, it is not known if it, along with elliptic curves (a whole different class of problems that I know just about nothing about) are reducible to each other.
NB: prime factorization has had algorithms published (Shor) which are polynomial time, with the caveat being that a quantum computer must be used.
Variation on this idea already done in Japan

The last time I was in Japan I saw something similar to this in concept, if not scale. There was a wide conveyer belt with a carpet-like material on it tilted up at an angle similar to that of a ski slope. A snowboarder was carving turns on this surface, and looked to be having fun. With real (ok, fake real) snow this idea might be popular in Japan.
It's just a little bit more effective (in the destructive sense) to attack your enemies with a burst of energy such as a bomb rather than slowly pump the same amount of energy into their power grid over a number of years...

Taken to the logical extreme (where everyone has transparent houses) then we'd have the world of Yvegeny Zamyatin's We. I for one don't want this, and fail to see how more transparency will change the world. Perhaps we'll get an interesting new concert hall out of this (a nice change from halls clad in titanium, such as the Guggenheim museum in Bilbao, Spain) but what else?
They use it at Harvard, too, at least in the two major intro classes, CS50 and CS51. This concept is definitely not new, and that the powers-that-be posted it might be taken as evidence that they didn't attend CS classes at a university (since, judging from the other posters' comments, almost all schools use this).
With the exception of remote control and 5.1 sound, this kind of functionality has been around in usb audio devices for quite a while now. My Roland UA-30 has optical in/out, 1/4", coax, 1/8", and has been out for more than a year.

Thanks for the reply. In my quick scan of the article (which seemed very movie-pirate oriented, btw... hmm) I didn't see the mention of the hardware decoder. Having one would help, though.
So your characters have, among their 8 bones, a crotch bone, eh? My guess at the 8 would be: crotch, mid torso, chest, head, left/right arm, left right leg.
If happy hours and such are mandated, then you get a situation like that in Japan, where salary men are expected to go drinking with their bosses after hours. Not good, not appealing, so why go that route?
I agree with the gist of your comment, but I have to take exception to your assertion that chess is equally enjoyable for kids and adults. Most kids (and even most adults) don't really play chess; they simply move the pieces. There's a large gulf between playing the game and shuffling pieces.
I went through a similar crisis last year: I realized that although I enjoyed (when I could get enough sleep, that is) theKI`n my CS curriculum, I didn't really enjoy the grinding out of programs. Furthermore, I realized that there was a very slim chance that I would be employed to think about fun things (read: math more complicated than linear algebra). So what did I do? I went pre-med. With an extra two semesters to spare compared to the poster, I can finish the pre-reqs just in time, and along the way, the biology, physics, and chemistry are a pleasant change from CS courses. It may well turn out that I don't go to med school, but instead dart off to pursue some other interest yet unknown to me, but at least I have one guaranteed path to tread that does not involve pointy haired bosses, and the drudgery of writing for loops all day long.
I maintain a valid PGP key online. See my user page, for instance. (Of course, unless you knew my real email address, you'd be restricted to verifying my sig or posting an encrypted comment to me.) Last I checked, the key is in the MIT key index, so I'm part of the 2% subgroup as well. Finally, not that my anecdotal evidence changes things, I use encryption regularly (about 20% of all my email). It pays to be paranoid, ya know.
Most top-tier schools' admissions programs are need-blind: you get in, and you will get enough aid to let you attend the school. My point is that you can't really use cost as an excuse to not go to a good school, since many good schools are need blind.
From their web page (the first link you provided):
Windows NT/2000: Requires Windows 2000 (or Windows NT 4.0 with Internet Explorer 4.0 or later).
Windows 95/98/Me: Requires Windows 98 (or Windows 95 with Internet Explorer 4.0 or later).
It looks as if the dependency on IE 4 was removed in the current versions of their OS. There might not be anything shady going on, after all...
Unfortunately for Eli, however, he quickly succumbed to the resistance in the darkened and microscopic channels in which he flowed. So he became heat, and thus was an electron no more.

It's also because the 8086 comes in a hardened (to radiation) version.

Yes. Use Euler's Theorem, with the extensions by Miller and Rabin. Sorry for being so humorless today.

It was said in the article that DLT was passed over because of media cost (much like DVD-R*).

I know you're trying to be funny, but haven't you read "The Plague" by Albert Camus? You don't think it is plausible that the plague could resurface?

Bullshit. ~50k die each year on our highways (courtesy of NHTSA). 50k may have died _today_ alone in the WTC twin towers.
The End.
