If you take a year off there is a good chance you will then enjoy life so much (especially if you get a job with good money) and decide university is not necessary. Later in life you will regret your decision.
My advice would be to just get it over with education. Time off means having to get back up to speed.
African-Americans are a very select subset of africans. They were the ones who were able to survive the rigours of the sardine trip across the ocean.
Have you considered how little impact *Africans* (NOT African-americans) have on basketball and rap music?
This is probably due to the fact that they are "closer" in heritage to the ancestors who lived in tribes and used their bodies on a daily basis to hunt. In fact you can look at Africa still today and see this. Compare that to European-descended people who probably have hundreds if not over a thousand years of ancestry between now and then.
And also I think you statement of that africans are closer in heritage to tribes is wrong considering that the Bantu migration (the people who fill up africa now) happened in the last 2000 years and those people came from the mideast
So which do you prefer? Unix Man Pages that contain all there is to know about a certain app in a not quite end user refined form or Windows Assistants ("Did you plug in the Cable?" - "Yes" - "Then I can't help you - call your vendor") and cryptic error codes?
I think you are falling for the fallacy of false dilemma here. There are other choices in documentation besides man pages of windows (e.g. gnu info etc...)
There should be a way to have root shed its powers. As matters stand now root can do everything: print management, filesystem management, view users files, organize groups, maintain system logs etc...
Cracking root makes you master of the universe as matters stand today.
Maybe root might start with all the powers at install time and then hand the powers (irrevocably of course) to other people.
I can tell you from personal experience that this is accurate, at least in high school. But then you grow up and then people realize that nerdiness is a good thing. You get stuff women really want: earning potential and stability.
But then you have to keep their children, whose biological fathers are the high school jocks. You lose.
I was amazed at how marketing could kill a very good simple game. I bought the new tetris (Tetris Worlds) for the Gameboy Advance. I had to return it quickly because it not only failed to live up to the old ones, but was far far worse than those fake lookalikes.

World Cup Final

Why did slashdot not have a single poll on the world cup. The comments on the top of the page just add to my hypothesis that the/. people don't even pretend to care for their international readers.
I am surprised at the low number of developing countries especially African countries. They are the countries which really NEED to use free software. But in my experience they are the ones least likely to. Too bad the big companies have already targetted these countries and the free software movement has no real marketing marketing strategy for these countries.
For example you have a program which costs $314, but it has to run under an operating system. How much value of the operating system to factor in. Without the operating system the program would be worthless (except emacs of course:-).
The article is unfortunately skimpy. But it still seems like a flag can be bypassed. My guess is that the real protection would probably come from a combination of DMCA and spy chips in the TVs, recorders and whatnot. I would guess you would not be able to watch TV without having it hooked up the internet reporting all you are doing. Big-brotherish future.
People seem to forget that Microsoft is a publically traded company. All of that $40 billion is owned, not by microsoft, but by the shareholders.
If Microsoft stock starts to go down, and people panic and sell their stock, that $40 billion evaporates. As that $40 billion disappears, their stock will drop even faster, and more people will sell.
You do not understand how stocks work. The 40 billion really is there and has nothing to do with the stock. Stock prices can drop to zero, but that forty-bill will still be there.
If people panic then they will sell stocks to each other. Microsoft is under absolutely NO obligation to buy those stocks. If it (microsoft) wants to buy the stocks then it will make a public announcement of a buyback.
Now, I don't know if it ws their government doing it or not... but I found it interesting. The US doesn't allow high-end computers to be shipped over there, but the PS2's weren't restricted by the US export regulations.
The PS2 is also made in Japan. As far as I know, the US does not have much say in what Japan can and can't export, despite some people's fantasies.

Obscene. (something about failing to learn from history and repeating it).

Remember to remove the laptop first.
Tell me where you buy your bags with a pre-installed laptop?
Was this not one of the reasons the GNU project wanted copyright assigned to it?

For once the icon is very appropriate.
Also look at today's article on salon for more physics trouble:

Emacs. After all it does include the kitchen sink :-)

How do you factor in the context of the info?
:-).
For example you have a program which costs $314, but it has to run under an operating system. How much value of the operating system to factor in. Without the operating system the program would be worthless (except emacs of course
You also need to count all the stuff which happened beforehand (and I can bet you you find trillions of bytes)
The value of info is mostly a contextual affair, so how much of the context do you add in

This is an honest question. Most theories I know of have things they cannot account for, but I have not heard where relativity fails.
What will stop Hitachi from firing everyone after three years and moving production to cheaper Asia?
I am still not sure whether globalization is a good thing or not.
42 factorial is rather a big number.

What other uses are there for a floppy drive bay besides a floppy drive?
I would really like the floppy buried now.

What about a boewulf cluster of playstation 2s?
