In a few years when you are a new grad and in the job market, how you handle problem solving is probably more important than being in a program that concentrate in hardware or software within computer science. You can be a Linux system administrator or application developer with either types of background, but if you cannot handle yourself and to solve problems, it doesn't really matter what your background is... you will just get fired! In other words, doing more math and programming is the best way to go. And to make sure you enjoy doing it! No matter in assembly in CP316, CP460, CP466 or CP468. You got to do good in problem solving as well as in coding!
Knuth made a suggestion that he would have vol 4 published in 2007. I wouldn't doubt his estimation if he wrote down a deadline for himself, and everyone else.
The tab menu also seems to be better than in FF. So many times on FF I accidentally choose the Close Other Tabs rather than Close Tab. If FF and Mozilla will have this customizable, that would be nice. Until then, I will keep using Mozilla.
My fax machines from 10+ years ago still sitting around for sending and receiving fax. Although most of the time I use attachments with e-mails, I still use it a fair bit for sending documents. It is extremely useful for exchanging signed documents. Unfortunately, I don't use my modem anymore, and my desktop computers don't even have any installed. Getting a PCI fax modem, I found, is a waste of money. And there is no ISA slot in my Athlon or P4... Also, a new PCI or external modem is (~ 3-5 times) more expensive than a 10/100 network card?
I just come to realize that there are approx 800+ books available in Google Print. Why don't they also cache the books and book lists from The Online Books Page at Penn Library (~20000+ listings)? They have links to books like: Relativity HTML or Gutenberg text by Albert Einstein, Bibles 94 items found, etc...
Out of all the wonderful passages in the Bible, they only included the Inside Flap. Although everyone I know always has a copy somewhere, but - come on - give us more!!!
Holy Bible Excerpt
Someone I knew bought a new Pentium 4 a few months ago, after he transferred all his files over to the new machine he decided to put his old computer (case open) at the parking lot on a shopping cart. It was a Pentium II with 256 SDRam and 20GB HDD.
I still have SuSE 8.0 installed on most of my computers, and laptop. And I got to say I like it very much.
SuSE is a good solid Linux distro.
From the screenshots, looks like they upgraded the theme of YaST 2 to Keramik and changed the default theme colour to blue. Good stuff. If they make a full list (and links) of patches / add-on of their kernel along with the documentations, it would make my life compiling kernel easier.
There are always ways to get around these problems. You can try to use libraries like GMP with C/C++ where you can store data in rational numbers instead of floats. And then you do the convertions at the very end. However, if your calculation starts out in numeric (i.e. calculating regression) instead of symbolic (i.e. polynomials or linear algebras), you cannot use this trick. Library like GMP do the job really well if you want to get around floating point errors with your regular C code. There are other tricks which I don't remember right now. Try the C Primer, or Stroustrup
One advice is be honst on your resume. It doesn't matter if you put your opensource experiences under Voluteering or Community sections.
From my experience as a project admin in two projects at sourceforge.net, I know there are a lot of people who join opensource projects just to get the names on their resume. So, what the project does is not that important. (For example, people can submit just one Linux kernel hack and claim themselves kernel developers on their resumes. Unethical, but possible.) The important thing is to be honst and state clearly what you have contributed (learned) to (from) the project(s). And if you have a very good relationship with the project admin, why not ask him/her to be your reference on your resume.
I'm paying a company at Ottawa, Ontario for about $10 CDN / month. I got the shared server Linux package with ftp, apache, mysql, php, pop3, smtp, and other admin features. 90MB storage, 5GB traffic, max 20 POP3 email boxes.
They also offer 200MB storage, 10GB traffic, 40 mail boxes, etc. for about $13 CDN.

Is Linux Dead?

Remember that Microsoft first made Disk Operating System, instead of an Operating System. So I don't know if they were qualify to say Linux is not an Operating System. Like MSNBC says, we should get a Mac or a Sun box now.
BTW, Linux also runs on Mac and Sparc. Who am I kidding?

Haven't finish reading the report before the site gone under, but the i7 920 seems to be the most cost-effective according to their statistics.
4:27pm EDT, the site is broken because this is being /.-ed. Power of social media!
Murlocs in trade channel is one of the many reasons why I turned off trade channel altogether. They can go on for hours from what I heard.
When I was still in school, we use the Quantum Mechanics from Richard W. Robinett

After that would be books on solid-state
Hopefully you are using high quality fans... Otherwise it will be noisy and affect your gaming experience.

Even with the strip down version, they can still put a FTP links on the desktop to help user download Windows Media Player and IE, right?
Reading all volumes is one thing. Try reading them and finish all the exercises is another.
Knuth made a suggestion that he would have vol 4 published in 2007. I wouldn't doubt his estimation if he wrote down a deadline for himself, and everyone else.
Now all we need is project plans to implement most of these into the Linux kernel.
I concur.

I can't wait for new OpenBSD music!

The same night, it rained. Go figure!
I can't see why people cannot buy Partition Magic, re-partition the harddrive and install Linux. No big deal, really!

For certain series of computer books, they also have the Expert level. Are you sure your audience level guideline is the same as Wrox?

MathCad is probably good for undergrad / highschool math problems, but I doubt it will do stuff like nullspace calculation with a 200x200 matrix.

The funny thing was, this article was from MSNBC. I thought they would never say the truth about how good linux is.
May be there is something going on here.
