Shit dude, the formula is non trivial, but not exactly difficult to come up with; I figured it out when trying to come up with a way to figure out the number of diagonals in a polygon with n sides. If I recall correctly, Euler did something similar, but in his head, at the age of 10.
This could be for a barrage of reasons, the vast majority of them legit. For example, email daemons take up bandwidth, so do Internet2 video classes, offsite backups, newsgroups is notorious, and theres always those foreign people browsing in the computer labs. I can't tell you offhand what the data is responisbile for, but I rather doubt the administrators are leeching ftp.
You can always tell which administrations are w4r3z gods by their reactions to copyright holders. The ones that say "we refuse to police our students--its not our place to dicate morals" are way more likely than the "we've allready pulled his account."
Public domain means just that: not under copyright. That means not GPL or BSD or whatever flavor of the month liscence. GPL and BSD all work by asserting copyright of the original code.
That is what would be useful. They could easily have two copies of the code, one GPL'd and one untouched by OSS. When a commercial entitiy finds the GPL liscence too restrictive, they could always buy the original with a differant liscence. Its important to note here that they can't sell the code improved by GPL methods because the ownership now belongs to everyone who contributed. Well I suppose they *could*, but it would require everyone's unamimous permission.
It seems that AOL/TW is ignoring a good chunk of the deregulation process. The Telco act of 96 or 94 or what ever allows incumbants to petition for a competitive status in areas where there are other businesses operating. This allows them to set their own prices if I recall. I'm not quite sure what they're thinking though, at that price. People in Lenexa KS can get a comparable bundled offering for 75 a month. What does that include?
70+ regular channels of cable and one premium package, plus the silly music channels and 40 digital channels (I'm not sure if those overlap with the 70+)
Basic Phone service
Your choice of their long distance plans, or use another company
a fairly lowspeed cable connection (256kbps)
Personally, thats a bit much for me, as I don't watch all that much cable TV. For 20 bucks more you can get 1.5mbps line instead, another premium package and some other useless crap. I could probably put together my own package at a cheaper cost. But the 75/month package is almost a third of what AOL/TW wants to charge. If AOL wants to push the 200 mark, I think a lot of customers will look elsewhere. I guess that AOL/TW thinks theres nothing they can do to lose their monopoly.
The article mentioned a rather cool game called "Settlers of Catan." Its made in Germany, and though an English version is available, its pretty hard to find.
An Open Source software version can be found here. It seems to work okay but the latest build is ancient. Perhaps its time for some interested/.'rs to adopt some territory the Nooshpere.
I think what the man meant was that you can't have your cake and eat it too. You have the right to speak, and you have the right not to speak. But does the constitution guarentee your right to speak without identity?
I'm not sure where you went to school, or if you did, but most of my intercollegiate friends' schools have CE bundled closely with CS. Computer Engineers build chips and occasionally program the chips. Which is why they get to learn about things like basic programming and data structures. Because even though you send data to your HDD as a string, in reality its a linked list. I like to think we have a good CE program at my school.
Did you even read what you linked to?

Contrary to popular mythology, the idea of selling a console at below cost
is a rather new phenomenon. It it not an ancient practice handed down
through the ages. If you're going to take him as word of Go(r)d, at least understand his philosophy.
about 15 seconds after posting that i started thinking about what i just wrote, and about 15 milliseconds after that i started doubting myself. To think that i actually used to be good at astronomy from the physics side of things.
No, its called the dark side of the moon because it always faces away from the SUN. we can see it on occasions called "new moons." Only about 51 percent of the moon has seen a large amount of the sun's energy. (The extra one percent is due to "wobble").
I refuse to play the xbox and so should you.
I held the controller the other day and it made me more adament. Really? Must take some effort to hold a controller but NOT play the game, unless you're at walmart where half the time the demo unit doesn't work.
in other news, wtf have you been man? stop by #gbadev sometime.
Funny thing is when I went to the GameWorks in Texas, silent scope and its successor silent scope 2 were both wide open and near the front (more likely to be played). I almost beat them both, but they come down to one last shot that I figured in falling distance for (which wasn't programmed in). Of course there were lots of violent games in the place. A couple of cabinets linked up to play like an FPS (bad idea), a tekken simulater (you got onto this stage and pretended to fight and the computer turned it into moves you didnt do), and this gigantic elevator ride where you shoot people to get higher up.
You mean several million non-voters. I'd wager that the majority of napster users haven't voted for anyone. I'd also wager that those who did vote didn't pay much attention to anything but the presidential ballot.
As was explained to me by a few europeans (with broken english) over IRC, a lot of people were afraid of tying their currency with that of states with escalating inflation, like Italy and Spain. After all, with a strong and stable Pound or Mark, there isn't a great need for a more united currency. Once again, this is only what I was told, I'm no economical genius and they could be wrong.
Copyright is supposed to protect published works, like binary executables or essays, not unpublished works, like source code or outlines. To say that when the copyright is expired the author must release the source code or outlines and other authorial works that assist in the making of a copyrighted work is a bit out of line.
Its a joke pal. At least I thought it was funny. Especially the Politeness level part.
Depending on who you are speaking to your politeness level will be very different. Politeness depends on many things, such as age of the speaker, age of the person being spkento, time of day, zodiac sign, blood type, sex, whether they are Grass or Rock Pokemon type, color of pants, and so on.
And as a former german student, I thought this was pretty funny:
You are supposed to figure these things out from the "context", which is a German word meaning "you're screwed".
It seems that if you look hard enough, you can find this kind of thing for almost any subject. One that instantly springs to mind is Japanese. I sort of wonder why this was posted. Something about news for nerds I obviously missed.
Actually, Nintendo has had official console networks in the past. Bandai Satellite and RANDnet come to mind. Unfortunately, neither of these is really feasible in the wide and sporatic densities of populations in the States. As for their popularity, well, I think your point that online gaming ends up committing suicide remains.
I think you may need to spend a bit more time absorbing the wisdom of Penny Arcade.
But you're right. If you're looking for bland photorealism, Gamecube is the wrong place for you. I've seen it mentioned elsewhere, and I think its true, that 3d graphics rendering is similar to oil pantings from one to two hundred years ago, where photorealism is quickly developing, and surrealism develops.
If you're looking for reviews that reliably reflect the views of the authors, you're best bet is to look at sites with MULTIPLE reviews. Gamefaqs and Gamerankings. Both allow user reviews, and gamerankings also contains links to major site reviews (however biased they might be).
My suggestion is to read the lowest rating and maybe one of the more verbose high ratings. Of course, as always, keep your wits about you to guard against fanboys and trolls.
We have a list and numbers, but how on god did we get them? Open spyware detecting what people run? Questionairre? Packet sniffing? Taking the publiser's word for it? Any of these methods has innate problems.
If I was a publisher, theres no way in hell I'd take this "data" without the methodology to give it a proper window.

It is very impressive when you shout the word "Folder" talking like Apu Nahasapeemapetilon and it still works.
Not really. I'd be impressed though it picked up on the guy's name instead of his accent.
Haven't you all seen that show "Cubix- Robots for Everyone" on the WB?
