In linear algebra, there are often many algorithms that could be used to solve a problem, but the obvious algorithms require many more calculations than the clever algorithms. For instance, you don't solve A*x=b by calculating inv(A)*b.
Just as it would be embarrassing for the mathematician to recommend calculating inv(A) for a one-off solution of A*x=b, it would be embarrassing for a computer scientist to recommend a freon cooled million dollar supercomputer when, with a slight optimization of the algorithm, the solution could be calculated with a cheap cluster of PCs interconnected with 100baseT.
Nice edit. In any case, I direct your attention to Kennedy's public statement.
Although my doctors informed me that I suffered a cerebral concussion, as well as shock, I do not seek to escape responsibility for my actions by placing the blame either in the physical, emotional trauma brought on by the accident, or on anyone else. I regard as indefensible the fact that I did not report the accident to the policy immediately.
It's possible that his allocution may also be on file somewhere, but amid the "Ted Kennedy killed Vince Foster with the Assistance of Hillary Clinton" pages, it's difficult to locate.
No. That's not what you said. You stated By his own version of events he is responsible for her death and then proceeded to quote from a wikipedia article that connects Kennedy's actions to Kopechne's death.
Kennedy plead guilty to leaving the scene of an accident. He did not accept responsibility of Kopechne's demise, in any legal sense. If he had chosen to do so, he would have plead guilty to a charge of manslaughter.
Dec did release the VAX 7000 and VAX 10000, both of which used the Alpha processor. They weren't terribly compatible with the original VAX architecture, though.
And what makes you think that the public institutions that enforce the institutions of private property will survive this ruthless privatization drive?
Hmm. perhaps I'll have to ask my parents if the harassment has resumed. Their semi-detached is peppered with aerials (from the previous owners), and the inspectors seem utterly convinced that television is a necessity.
But if you don't own a television, it is not necessary to pay the license fee. It's not a poll tax. I suppose a nicely worded letter from a solicitor might help-- but his fees would probably eclipse any possible savings.
The BBC once maintained a world wide network of shortwave stations. That's how they garnered a world wide audience and a world wide reputation. A few years ago, the beeb discontinued shortwave service to north america, figuring that their streaming media services filled this need.
The BBC was popular is many parts of the world because they provided an alternate , perhaps more truthful perspective, on world events. Is the local state television ignoring the strikes paralyzing the capital? Tune into the BBC World Service. Are the state owned newspapers ignoring the activities of the opposition? Tune into the BBC World Service. The desire to remain relevant to a worldwide audience has improved the BBC's foreign desk. After all, the masses in Zimbabwe are not so interested in the transit strikes in Sheffield. But that might be interested in good reporting on the Congo war, or Mugabe's dealings with UN aid programmes. The reporting presence necessary to remain internationally relevant encourages the BBC to present news beyond the Sheffield transit strike.
If the BBC shut down its international broadcast service, and limited access to paying UK residents, it could face additional pressure to shut down expensive foreign desks and concentrate on the news that really matters-- like the Sheffield transit strike.
Oh joy. A world wide reputation for critical reporting on local British issues.
So, to remove all traces of censorship from our society, we must ruthlessly privatize our remaining public space, because, by definition only public institutions, such as governments, censor.
Perhaps the BBC should desist its international broadcast activities, and take action against the filthy, non british leeches who patronize the network. Perhaps the BBC should flush its worldwide reputation down the toilet-- and become more fully absorbed into the government.
In order to secure certain orders, Boeing outsourced the tail assembly of its 777 to factories in China. Boeing prefers to concentrate on "large scale integration", but I can't help thinking that in a decade or two, Xian Aircraft Company may be supplying the bulk of the Chinese market for widebody aircraft.
The Email was written ion 15 Apr 1999, after the embassy bombings (7 Aug 1998), and the Tokyo gas attacks (20 Mar 1995). Was there any reason to believe at the time, that al-Qaeda had not yet heard of the Aum Shrinrkyo incident?
The military effectiveness of biological and chemical weapons is limited by the dispersal method. Even then, al-Zawahiri 's statement that "the destructive power of these weapons is no less than that of nuclear weapons" exaggerates the facts.
I'm not so sure it's such a bad thing to persuade a terrorist group to waste time and effort researching a comparatively ineffective weapon platform. It might even persuade the terrorists to break cover and seek out experts in the field. A fine opportunity to insert moles, perhaps...
The tiles didn't break off because of improper adhesives-- they "broke off" because they were hit by a large piece of foam. That large piece of foam broke off the external tank because of the adhesive technique wasn't up to the task.

So the educated come to visit us and use language that most of us wouldn't use in a public forum?
Must you use the royal we?
Is "Full Spectrum Warrior" not enough?
Yeah.. I know that the best way to express your joy for a person by shooting them in the face.
You shouldn't shoot people in the face. It makes it difficult to harvest the retinas.
MacOS X has a security server daemon. However, I don't know if it predates 1999.

I never knew Ted Kennedy contributed to the Wikipedia. I guess you really do learn something new every day.

The mean rarely tells the whole story, particularly in the case of South Africa, where apartheid had spawned massive inequality.
Besides, Neethling, Ferns and Schoeman train at Arizona State University. I don't know where Townsend trains.

If you refuse to pay the licence fee you will obtain a criminal record and possibly be sent to prison.
No, you merely have to affirm that you don't own a television.

Wow. Carter's boycott must have worked all too well, erasing the entire 1980 summer games from memory.
The 1980 summer games (the real olympics) were in moscow.
The 1980 winter games (a smaller, ancillary companion) were held n Lake Placid, New York.

I use a "fairly small" RGB monitor myself.

What do you consider "high-end"? Greater than $100?
Features? What features? Shouldn't you judge a DVD player on the picture (and possibly, sound) quality?
What's a rouge nation? Is it run by "pinkos"?

Railroad Tycoon II required 1024x768.
they didn't "invent" OS X, they stole it from BSD and overcharged for it. keep shelling out your $130 every year for a "secure" OS.
Darwin is free. Cocoa, Quartz, Carbon, and a number of other technologies that have nothing to do with BSD are not.
