Does anyone have a good reference sheet of commonly used symbols in advanced math texts. I've been trying to learn stuff on my own but it is hard when you can't even verbalize what you are reading.

That's because we have already saved the whales. No reason for Scotty to give away the secret.
When I was DM for a D&D game in my younger days one of my friends kept nagging me that he wanted me to place a +5 magic vorpal sword in the game for him to find. I got tired of the nagging after a while and told him he could roll the 100 die and if it came a 00 I would give him the sword and otherwise, he would lose all his considerable magic items. I thought he was a sucker for taking the change but he did and lo and behold he rolled the die and got the 00.
If you read the link to the kernel mailing list in that article, you will see that Linus' belief is quite the opposite. He believes that it is the right of the original developer of the code (ie Intel) to set the terms of the license be it dual license or not. Thus he will not accept patches to the code which are not released the both licenses of a dual license.
If you want a cheaper FPGA board, then try out the following company. They have some decent boards for under $100 though no microprocessor is included.
The book "ASIC" has a good chapter on FPGAs. Go to the following link and review chapter 5. http://www.dacafe.com/ASICs.htm
But the answer your question briefly, the internal structure of the FPGA is an array of computational logic blocks. The boundary between these blocks in the array is routing logic that allows nearly arbitrary connections between the logic blocks. There are also IO blocks at the perimeter of the array. Each logic block typically consists of some combinational logic followed by a register element. The combinational logic element can be programmed to implement arbitrary logic functions of around 4-8 inputs. Thus you can configure a block to be a 1 bit adder, a mux, register, etc. By programming the CLBs and routing between the blocks, an hardware system can be built. You write the hardware description in Verilog, VHDL or schematics capture. Then a synthesizer maps your design to a bit pattern necessary to program the FPGA. You generally program this into the chip or into an external flash memory connected to the FPGA.
You do get taxes recursively. You pay income tax on your salary. Then when you buy something, there is a sales tax. Then the company which got your money pays taxes on it. Then they pay their employees and that gets taxes. And it repeats on an on.

They could have placed a OTP fuse inside the chip which downgrades the chip from a 9700 to a 9500 but not the other way. The fuse could be set via a test mode so no extra pins or resistors are needed. Sometimes I think these companies (ie ATI and AMD) go the simple route so that people find out and the mod community gets all exicted about that product.
I've been studying hardware design for a while now and the following course documents from the (former) ARSDigita university are a clear yet consise depiction of what you would learn in a beginnning microprocessor design course.

How do we know that SCO engineers have not taken parts of the Linux kernel to improve their own SCO kernel?
It will be a tiny version of Debian called 'DE' and to please RMS I'll call it GNU/DE.

I am curious as to what sense that OpenVMS is open?
Yeah but I have found that whatever Theodore Sturgeon write always sounds fishy to me.
Is that why there are so many double postings of articles on Slashdot? Trying to use redundancies to find errors?

More like "Unstoppable Pyrotechnic Sources".
I think you are getting more and more like the oprah book club. :)
What policically correct crap are you talking about?
For spreading all those false rumors about spiderman over the years.
