Anyone who's stupid enough to believe what a sales engineer says deserves everything that happens to them. Unfortunately, it usually happens to the bloke who said, "Now, just wait a minute...".
Nah - you could do it with one hand if it was really small. Think about holding a credit card with your thumb and forefinger at opposite corners, and your middle finger behind it.
Um... the EDS deal is being reviewed as we speak. Frankly, they're unlikely to keep the deal, as the current government here in SA, being nominally socialists, are a whole lot smarter than the previous (conservative - we call them Liberals here for some reason that has evaded me for the last 50 years) government, who sold off everything that wasn't nailed down (and a few things that had to be pried loose as well).
But... didn't the US win that one? I'm sure I recently read a claim to that effect, although my memory of events is somewhat different. (War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is power, and we've always been at war with EastAsia.)
I once built a little pre-amp as an impedance-matcher so I could plug a decent low-impedance microphone into my guitar amp - it had a (non-adjustable) gain of about 1000000:1. It still works, and it makes a _dandy_ fuzz-box.
Well... some harmonics (notably those produced by percussion instruments such as drums and bells) aren't integral multiple of the fundamental frequency.
Actually, although "warmth" is meaningless drivel, the term "headroom" has a real, technical, meaning (discussed at great length above by a number of correspondants). It's to do with how much capacity your amplifier has to deal with high-amplitude transients from its current volume setting without clipping or requiring a limiter.
I must concede I prefer my vinyl copy of "Hot Rats' to a CD I recently heard of it. The CD atually sounds better acoustically, I just don't like the re-mix Zappa did.

Thank you.
Erdos only took teeny-tiny amounts of speed. Sub-therapeutic (let alone sub-recreational) doses, as his biography makes clear.
Probably yes, because then the stuff might actually resemble food.
Mathematicians sure as shit don't do it for the money ... how many rich mathematicians do _you_ know?
Actually, I've almost always seen it spelt "Occam" ...
Some of them must ... otherwise where do the little mathematicians come from?
Probably more to do with the nice lunches and (perhaps) the primo blow-job.
The _only_ reason I upgraded from Word 6 is because I kept getting files I couldn't read.

I want one of these when they get cheap.
It's kind of like bad-mouthing Mother Theresa, really.

So, what's new here? Isn't this pretty much the way _most_ projects are done?
Yeah - he means British Small Arms, who made some damn fine motorcycles (and quite reasonable rifles as well).
The Heinlein pills are working ... or have you read too much Ayn Rand?
Actually, the United States is a Republic, not a democracy.
Well ... you could burn it ...
First pirate: Where are your buccaneers?
Second pirate: Under me buccan hat.
... but only for very small values of zero.

Actually, I think they discovered water closets a ways back.
