Yeah, I had a similar experience with the University of Phoenix, though clearly less pronounced than yours. I think of their radio advertisements and immediately am reminded of the early childhood trauma that was my circumcision...perhaps that's because the University of Phoenix sounds like an unacredited scam run by a bunch of marketroid foreskins.
Bah! There are very few undergrad math courses where you need a computer or calculator. What an abomination--using maple when you should be using your brain. Sounds like *you* go to a shitty school.

Huh? You mean you can put images on the root window?
It's not just Nintendo. There are quite a few excellent, innovative, completely different games being produced. (Guru Roji Champ comes to mind, after spending all day yesterday playing it). I've seen more on the GBA than any other 'recent' platform, probably because the ROMs are small and easily found on usenet or elsewhere. Unfortunately the vast majority of those are never released in the US, so ROMs are pretty much the only way to check them out.
Speaking of which...does anyone know a decent importer with a *large* selection of Japanese gba games?
That's untrue. Although people *do* have bad trips, flashbacks are just propaganda. Typically a bad trip is one where you get introspective and focused on some depressing thing. Unless you're weak minded, it's really debatable whether they are really "bad" or just insightful in a depressing way. I've had my fair share of 'em and I tend to lean towards the latter. Also, with psychadelics you don't see elephants or spiders or hallucinations like that. You don't think you can fly and go jump out of buildings, or punch windows, or whatever else the Just Say No folks claim. Even with really visual acid, what you see is ordinary objects just like you're used to but they look like they're melting, twisting, shrinking/growing, losing their ordinary boundaries, growing wispy fuzz, seeming brighter, etc. However, you're fully aware that it's the LSD that's causing the hallucination, so it's not like you go apeshit, thinking you're actually melting or anything.
That is so true. I was a member of the the Latin club, computer club, math club, and Zoo club at my high school. Wow, come to think of it, even the other nerds ignored me. It was really depressing. Now things aren't much better...I'm a complete social misfit.
Out of curiosity, why is it that any time I've ever tried to find out what this Rational Unified Process is all about, it ALL sounds like some big advertisement geared towards clueless management folk? Is it really all that great? Can somebody explain it in hacker terms? That shite makes my eyes glaze over.
My best friend was quarantined in Hong Kong a few weeks ago because a woman he worked with was diagnosed with SARS. He said pretty much the same thing, and yeah, he was relieved to be staying at home.
never, never, say anything bad about Guiness. It is the holy of holies. Mana from the mother country.
You're crazy. Guiness is shite. The best beer comes from Germany and is brewed by folks who have been making it for centuries. Try some Andechs Doppelbock Dunkel, Oechsner Pils, Schlenkerla Rauchbier, or Aloisius Heller Doppelbock, and say the same thing about Guiness. Hell, even Warsteiner is better than that Irish sewage. Now, if all you are used to drinking is Keystone Ice, Budweiser, etc. yeah, Guiness is a step up...but mana? From the mother country? Gimme a break.
Well I know for a fact that the 7/11 terrorists are a bunch of pussies. Yeah, they steal Slurpees, candy, and occasionally cigarettes, but if you grabbed one of the little punks by the shirt he'd crap his pants and cry for his mother.
I don't patronize McDonald's on principle even if the food is crap.
Yeah, no kidding. Me, I love crap. I crave it several times a day, but there's something that irks me about McDonalds. I suspect their crap isn't 100% pure crap. Or maybe it's that creepy clown.
I'm no expert at this particular system, but persistent object systems / object oriented databases aren't exactly new. Anyway you don't have queries in the rdbms sense with these things. As for the "enterprise level software" comment, that's untrue. People like their POS/OODBs too and these have already "taken off". I doubt OODBs would replace relational databases, but they solve different problems. Both have their place.
I've never seen this Buffy show displayed before, but I feel strongly that this is a travesty. It's utterly incomprehensible that those who dictated the cancellation are aware of the impact of this matter on the fanbase. As an open source advocate and member of the slashdot community, I believe we should establish some sort of online petition to opine our collective blather regarding this earth-shattering event. Unless we stand united against these evil corporate criminals we cannot win the war against Micro$oft and dominate the desktop marketshare. And really, that's all this ultimately boils down to--in a somewhat slightly overworded, padded, verbosely waffling, repetitive and redundant sense of that particular notion-- at least in the end...if you view it from a highly abstract perspective.
Anyway, for lots of applications, Python is fast enough
And for those it's not, it's easy enough to write your own extensions in C/C++.
Also, seeing how you mentioned zope, ZODB and ZEO (the coolest parts of zope, IMHO) are available standalone. BTW, if you're looking for low resource consumption, powerful, python web goodness, give Quixote a look.
Yeah. I dunno about other systems, but on my supermicro p4dp6 the POST messages even say there are 4. Using my own ad hoc benchmarks with dnetc, it appears like there are 2 fast processors and the hyper-threaded ones crunch at around 20%-30% of those.

Wow, are you serious? Looking at your website, it appears like you are...but one never knows. If so, that's quite impressive.

Yes, they are a large organization. But guess what? The ranking isn't computed when you do a search. So, no, that's not 5X the traffic they can feed.
What is this, fucking 1863? Get a grip.

Why that was "flamebait", I don't know. It's solid advice and is 100% true.

Yeah, numpy rules. Not to name names, but I know some DoE labs use it quite a lot. It's very slick. So are many of the other python number crunching tools.
Just wondering... you wouldn't happen to be a java programmer would you?

Apparently that's what script kiddies are into, yes. But it's not just an "everyday normal part of browsing".
No kidding! You should see how slick my emacs, xterms, and mozilla look. Thanks nVidia.
