Some algorithms with the same complexity may have vastly different constant coefficients. I've seen some algorithms in O(n^2) and O(nlog(n)) that have constants as high as 1000. And some of the constants are actually parameters of the algorithm. Why do people look at these algorithms? Some are easier to explain (and easier to illustrate certain concepts) than others. Computational Geometry has a lot of these beasties.
This might actually be a good thing for fixing the current US patent fiasco. The banking industry has plenty of lawyers and political clout. Maybe some change will come out of this suit.
And just tax breathing since you are exhaling a greenhouse gas. Hell, why not tax living since you are consuming valuable resources and taking up space. This is getting nuts.
I used it since system 6. Sure, it wasn't modern, but I had many a good years use from it. And, compared to Windows up to Win98, it was much better. Not only that, but at the time, it had the best GUI going, except for maybe NeXT. Many stability problems were from having two to four rows of extensions loading up at startup. But with Suitcase and ATM, font handling on System 7 is still SUPERIOR to font handling on Windows XP.
Why is this moderated as troll? The author makes a very good point. The new macs are very elegantly designed, even when compared to the various aftermarket cases. The iMacs are very quiet. Their self contained quality made setting up a bunch of them a snap. Sure, they are not much use to the home/work power user, but for non technies, they are great.
And another thing. The author makes a good point about the upgrades. Have you tried to buy low density PC100 memory lately? Noticed the price? Being able to upgrade is nice, but as I get older and have less time, I'd rather buy a new machine.
I'm not too biased because my main machine is a x86 running linux.
That sort of filtering is fine in the frequency domain. But, what if there is very little spatial data, as in this case. Of course image enhancement is possible. Otherwise, I'd be out of a job. But, the magic you see on TV is purely fantasy. Zooming in on a 5x5 pixel window in the image usually won't tell you anything no matter how much enhancement you do.
Bullshit. I specialize in image processing. You cannot retrieve data that isn't there to start with. For a scene that is relatively static, you can average over several frames and get good results, but no magic.
Let's be clear here. Computer science is science, not engineering. When I got my degree, there were no programming classes. Any monkey can learn how to program, and many dropped out just to do that. But, please don't say that computer science is programming. That's like saying sugery equates to cutting meat with a knife.
I'm not saying all graphic desingers and photographers are clueless. They love their Macs. I love them too, but I can't afford them. I don't mind having to manually mount my USB camera, but they would.
Hear hear. Is this another case of Americans subsidising the rest of the world a la medicines? Or, is it simply price gouging that we have been conditioned to pay $100 US for new text books.
This is a good point. Unless your work is very specialized, you are easily replaced. And, you would be replaced with cheaper labor too. On top of that, you will most likely take a pay cut in your next job--that is if you even get another one. Just a couple of things to keep in mind.
Most condos that I have seen are built with concrete or have many walls between rooms. This is necessary since condos need to be space efficient. Without an antenna, I can't reliably pick up a signal through a two layer brick wall or a concrete floor. Maybe access points can do better, but I doubt that they can go through more than two floors of concrete. Wood and drywall are much friendlier to wifi.
But a T1 is a dedicated line that comes with greater reliability. Try to get any sort of service guarantee from the residential folks and they'll laugh at you.

It would be great if property taxes only applied to estates over $1M. Even with a relatively inexpensive house, the taxes are quite burdensome.
And also, the overburdened air traffic controllers at O'Hare have to take over the small craft traffic that was handled by the tower at Meigs Field.

You cast System 7 in a bad light.

Does running the apps in a non-admin account solve this problem? Only admins can install new services, right?
I hate him too. The fucker is full of contradictions. Too bad everyone else is too much of a pussy to stand up against him.

Any word on gcc 2.95.3 compiled kernels? I can't afford to crash my machine right now.
Not going to see it. I've paid enough money for worthless crap already.

Not soccer moms, but clueless graphic designers and photographers. But of course, they have Macs to play with.
haha, thanks, you made my morning.

You should try some other inks though. I find Lamy Black a bit on the gray side. Aurora Black is very strong.
I agree. Tracking some packages is what I want sometimes when the item is too cheap to be shipped by FedEx or UPS.
What's the big deal? Want an anonymous letter? Send it from a far away place.

Just be happy that they aren't Pi coins.
