A THEORY like the THEORY of evolution has not been proven, but is based on empirical evidence (inductive). A mathematical THEOREM is proven deductively, using the rules of logic.
I might be wrong, but IIRC, each of those internal peripherals is actually using the PCI bus. So, there is a limit to the bus bandwidth that they are probably taking into account.
Effectively, it's as if you have those PCI slots already taken up.
EZmail was developed for the Andrew Message System at CMU -- Ezimail is a hack to support Cyrus and IMAP mail.
Mulberry does what Ezimail does with Cyrus much more elegantly. It has all of the features that you just described. Pine is best, but you need to give up some of the Cyrus functionality.
try Cyrus. Ufortunately, the only email client for it with full support is Mulberry. CMU has a hacked version of Pine that can deal with it also, but is hands down the best IMAP implementation around.
we have a great do not call list. just threaten to sue, and watch those calls disappear:)
my friend has a better solution though -- he asks them if they have "Mr. T" protection. There's usually a stunned silence, and then he explains that he just bought a credit card from Mr. T, and he need protection if he switches cards.
telemarketers have a really amazingly crappy job, so it can be fun to amuse them and yourselves. i feel bad if i'm impolite to them though.
you sure are bitching a lot about a shutdown of 5 days. Use the campus networking facilities and wait to hear back from them. You have the right to your network connection, but 5 days isn't much time for a mistake to be resolved.
Ignorance isn't an excuse, either. If you break the rules, you break the rules. Move on. There are a lot of good reasons to ban Wireless Access Points. They can interfere with cellular phones and other things that use that open swatch of airwaves. Perhaps you left it unsecured, as well, which gives anyone in range free access to the campus network because you were a bonehead. Don't assume the worst. Campus IT is your friend (that is, you definitely don't want to piss them off).
Eventually I gave up and switched to Linux, but a command shell + gui makes you very speedy. However, I don't know why anyone would install Cygwin just to run a shell. It's nice to have the free x-server, but I've found that it's slower to start than 4NT, and not much more useful if all you want is a commandline.
Nixon then and Kissinger now. You misread my statements, purposefully it seems. Kissinger in September of 2001 said something along the lines of "nuclear weapons would be appropriate" on CNN (not the missing tapes). Nixon during the Vietnam War suggested using nukes, something which came to light in the last few weeks. Two separate occasions, which was pretty clear from my statement.
H-bomb/A-Bomb was a simple mistake in nomenclature. Not being an expert in nuclear physics, I didn't realize the difference. Stupid me. The effect is the same -- hundreds of thousands of dead civillians. (Of course, nukes don't have a corner on this market -- more civillians died in the fire bombing of Dresden during WWII than in Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined)
The Nixon quote was on the AP wire. Do your own goddam research. I told you also, on the Kissinger point I heard him say it on CNN. I don't know where a transcript is. I just linked to the first site I saw on Google that mentioned Kissinger to let you know who I was talking about and admit his history is not the typical administration member's.
different circumnstances. I'm talking about Gore's original plan vs Bush's original plan. Note that the second link is from a traditionally leftist source -- not likely to want to make Gore look bad unless he really did propose more spending than Bush. People like to think that Democrats are different from Republicans -- they really aren't on most issues. What's different is the spin put on their efforts by the left or the right. The left jumps on anything they don't like from the right, but are silent about the democrats being too conservative. Vice versa too, I suppose. Politics overrides ideology buster, sorry to break it to you.
Which "former secretary of state?" I highly doubt this occured. More likely there was some bland statement about not taking any option off the table, the standard U.S. military response when asked about the use of nuclear weapons. Do you have a transcript or something to back up such a claim?
It was on CNN. If you can't guess which former secretary of state I could possibly mean, try this indicted war criminal: http://www.etan.org/news/kissinger/
He is possibly the least sane man alive, so I don't claim it to have been official US policy. Nuclear weapons have always been on the table, however, for a lot more than detterrence; Nixon advocated the use of nukes in the Vietnam war, something that just came to light recently.
Do you realize that Gore's proposed military budget was even higher than Bush's? Not something that made me happy, but your point is utterly without relevance.
Of course, the US is the only country to ever use the H-Bomb: and we used it twice. Directly after September 11, I distinctly remember our former Secretary of State advocating the use of Nuclear weapons -- before we had any idea of what an appropriate target would be. The US is a little more trigger happy than you like to think.
PS -- we have a nuclear armament large enough to destroy the world several times over. How much more "deterrence" do we need?
i remember a great article in Science about 4 years ago that heralded the coming of age of computer simulations as a replacement for nuclear testing. Instead today, the US is trying to back out of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, nuclear weapons are proliferating instead of being disarmed, and if I recall correctly we still test nuclear weapons underground. When will we realize that nuclear weapons are a menace? When will we accept that we need to take the lead in ending their use?
As an American citizen, I am sometimes disgusted by our government. I really hope that computer simulations can replace the war games, but right now I'm not so certain.

FAST is just looking to build up the *ultimate* Top 100 Warez site! I wish I worked for them...
by definition, a theorem has been proven.
Carnegie Mellon has the best graduate degree in HCI. They even offer undergraduate courses, which I believe they are unique in doing.

I just remember it being "Belgian Congo" and then it changing to Zaire :) Correction noted.
Zaire, now.

he's a pretty good troll in that respect. put him on your block list.
correction: i meant wireless phones, not cellular.
