TI's graphing calculators have no math coprocessors either.
I don't know how the TI-89 and up (where the whole symbolic stuff comes in) do their fp stuff, but all below that use a simple z80 and do floating point math in software. (in BCD)
Considering the processors usually run at less than 10MHz (and are all 8- or 16-bit), a PDA would be a fine match.
Now, does this prevent you from attaching your own, non-conflicting license, which says something like: "Employees of INFOGAMES and BIOWARE may not play this Module, nor may this Module be stored on any form of magnetic media owned by INFOGAMES or BIOWARE except for the sole purpose of distribution." ? That wouldn't prevent them from distributing it, but it sure would make it a pain in the ass for them.
'course they'd probly tell you you couldn't distribute it as soon as they found it.
Current Catholic doctrine (currently called Vatican 2) is significantly different in many ways from the pre-Vatican council doctrine.
hmm...
All those still using Vatican 1.0, please upgrade today. Vatican 2.0 patches a number of security vulnerabilities and is packed with new features to make your Catholic experience better than ever before!
Vatican 2.0: So easy to use, no wonder it's number 1!
It looks like the "i486 or better" asm versions all have Prof. Dr. Jochen Liedtke as maintainer. Unfortunately (quite so, since he designed L4), he is deceased. (as of June 10, 2001)
But I think it's safe to say that an L4-based kernel would be better than Mach, even if written in C++. A well-optimized design is more important than well-optimized code.
Except most of the "weirdness" is the control panel UI. Describing that as weird (and it is, just look at it!) is somewhat less important. Who cares? How often are you gonna be in there?
Farms in sc3k: create a large low-density *industrial* zone in a low pollution area. I believe there's actually a tutorial about it on maxis' web site. It's very hard to keep it from turning into factories tho, and once the pollution comes in from them it's all lost.
I was amused that low-density residential plots with high land value would turn into walled, mostly grass, estates.
"Your $2.95 calculator, for example, gives you a zero when you try to divide a number by zero, and does not stop executing the next set of instructions...."
What kind of calculator have they been using? All the ones I've seen give you 'E' and refuse to do anything until you clear it.
The market was not "light bulbs." The market was illumination. Have you ever worked for a rail road company by any chance?
The first criteria for disruptive products is a little flawed, it should probably be: "Does the innovation allow customers to do things that were previously too expensive or required too high skill?"
The cosmology faq seems to say that there is no edge, so either the universe is closed or there's an infinite number of galaxies out there.
As for the diagrams, well I have a hard time seeing why an explosion would necessarily have an inner edge, unless all the particles thrown from it were moving at roughly the same speed. The other two diagrams could easily be from a portion of the first, and it would be difficult to find the edge from anywhere remotely near the center.
But then I need to take more physics classes and such...

ah, excellent point!
Yes, I wish they'd add a "disable pipelining for this site" option, as for image loading and such.

You may not need good art to make a good game, but you do need them to market a popular game. Every review will feature screen shots.
It's too late to affect de-facto standards. It's too late to have any chance of becoming the most popular browser.
Really? When was the deadline?

"lost interest," yes...

It's the noise I'd worry about.
Reminds me of a slogan that Bank of America used to print on their transaction reciepts:
"Why not bank your own way? Ask us how."

There, now light bulbs fit both.
Yeah, that's what I meant by "closed." Probably the wrong word, but hey.
Because no one lives outside of California?
You can't lie to me, I've seen I-80, there's no one out there.
But seriously, in the last 3 days there have now been 5 earthquakes of magnitude 5 or greater.
This earthquake was fun here, but a non-event where earthquakes as a whole go.
Anybody who wants to make their own funkiness on, say Windows, try Coagula.
Yes, but if everywhere was a single point, I would expect the faster-moving objects to separate themselves from their slower-moving bretheren.
Whatever. I guess I'll just cross "astronomist" off my list of possible career choices.
Uh, ok...
So is the universe closed then?
The cosmology faq seems to say that there is no edge, so either the universe is closed or there's an infinite number of galaxies out there.

as they tore through Earth at up to 900,000 mph
Formed in the Big Bang and inside extremely dense stars,
Any ideas why anything moving that fast, formed in the big bang would still be important?
Unless the universe is closed, wouldn't they be further out than anything less crazy?
Except that breaks IE because IE doesn't support attribute selectors.
Maybe a:link:hover and a:visited:hover?
Yeah, I noticed that after I posted...
It still seems kinda silly to say "faster is better" tho.
Under the "MazeBench" test, the comment is made: "Faster is better."
We know faster is better. The question is, is a lower score faster or a higher one?
My guess would be in the menus:
View->Show/Hide->Site Navigation Bar
but that's only a guess.
Gives you the ol' "top/up/first/previous/next/last" navigation stuff.
