It's kind of funny for slashdot readers to make fun of scientology. There are plenty of parallels between scientology and open source fanaticism as seen on slashdot. Scientology doesn't allow forks, and is horribly expensive. Free software can be forked, and needn't cost anything.
and the total length of all the edges between districts is minimized.
I don't understand why the last criterion is so important. Geographic divisions are rarely so neat and tidy.
The state may be divided by regions of high elevation. The mountainous region might mean that persons on one side of the mountain are not particularly interested in the affairs of the transalpine region.
The state might exhibit a number of different soil types. An area suitable for dairy farming might not share much in common with an iron-ore rich region.
The state might have a long coastline popular with tourists and newcomers. More inland regions of the state might be culturally distinct.
A large urban area might have grown up out of the cornfields. The city derives most of its income in ventures unrelated to agriculture.
In Congress, most members are assigned to specialized committees. Members seek to join the committees that have the power to affect the lives of their constituents. If small portions of large urban area are combined with vast swaths cornfields, and the city dwellers end up being represented by a member of the Agricultural Committee, those constituents will probably not have their political needs met.
ah what is with you people and counties? Sure, in some states, counties are important, but in others, such as Connecticut. counties are politically irrelevant.
And that's part of the problem. The residents of a largely urban area might not have much in common, politically, with residents of a largely agricultural area.
The lease agreement may limit the rights of the renter to make improvements for any number of reasons, including caprice and limitation of liability. While some landlords welcome improvements, others do not.
Basically, virus might be either a second declension or fourth declension noun--the linguists aren't quite sure. It is neuter, though, as the ascusative form is the same as the nominative.
Normally, second declension nouns are made plural by adding "-i", to the root, which would produce "viri". But "virus" is neuter, which would imply "vira" as a plural.
However, second declension neuter nouns that in in "us" --such as "pelagus", and "vulgus", do not typically possess plural forms.
If it is fourth declension, the plural is virus, pronounced with a long "u" sound.
Of course, most people don't pronounce the "v" in its original latin voice, either. "Viruses" is concise, and appropriate for English. As scholars and pedants seem unable to agree on whether the declension is second or fourth, a wry individual might fairly claim that "viruses" is a a compromise, as "es" is the typical third declension ending for plural nominative forms..

We don't go around calling water, waters or aquii do we?
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
It is worth mentioning Mr. Kucinich is trying to get the presidential nomination and has very little financial contamination from the formentioned industries.
He has very little financial 'contamination", period.
Actually, if you have only one network card - you can't connect more that one computer at a time. Ethernet is a serial protocall - sure it switches really fast so it seems like everybody has a perment connection.
So unless you have 6 network cards or do somtihng really odd - Any computer can only server one other computer at a time.
ah, but, are you sure that will do the trick? The PCI bus will be shared among your multiple ethernet cards, and your six users will be each contending for use of a single CPU. Better get an 8 way server, just to make sure.
According to this rather detailed paper, IBM designed the unit around 700 MHz (0.13 micron) PowerPC 440 Processors. This is not the modern equivalent of a Cray 3.
The node to node density, though, is very high. The maximum cable length is 8m.
The half page format allows Breathed to squeeze in more panels (nine this time, rather than the usual four to six.) It's well painted, but as I'm sure Frank Cho will attest, there's more to a successful newspaper comic strip than great visuals.
"Opus," a new strip by "Bloom County" and "Outland" creator Berkeley Breathed, will appear in The Washington Post on Sunday's [sic] beginning Nov. 23. The comic will be available only in newspapers.
The Quadra 900 and 950 each had 16 (30 pin) SIMM slots. So, if you had the cash, you could go against Apples recommendations and install 8 meg simms (for 128 MB), or 16 meg simms (for 256 MB). Source
The gForce4 MX is getting long in the tooth. Perhaps, some day, Apple will come up with some nifty new feature that exploits patch and vertex programs.
I'll bet that before Quartz Extreme came out, quite a number of non-game players defended their VRAM deficient cards with similar fervor.

Counties don't change

535 politicians, all with lean and hungry looks, each scheming for some chance to advance up the ranks of the cursus honorem? No thanks.

If you are bound by various contracts not to upgrade the electrical wiring, it's not your "own place."
A nice explanation

This set of sldes compares some of the architecture of the BlueGene/L to other ASCI machines.

Yeah, it's distinctly possible that if Cho wasn't censored to bits, the proportion of lame jokes and "art" strips might well have diminished.
There's an easy solution to both problems. Have your butler iron the newspaper.
Crossovers are a good opportunity for writers to demonstrate that they don't understand the narrative thrust of the originals.
I just had a horrible vision of Illiad filling in. His sunday strips are so very uninspired.

The Washington Post occasionally uses "intelligent ink" that will permanently bond to the glass surface of a scanner.

new != old.
A G5 is not old, it's not slow. And such a machine can run the latest mac games, should the publisher bother to port.
A five year old mac on the other hand...
