You forgot the episode where Homer learns the value of praying, and asks God to send him a treat while driving down the road... there's an accident down the road in front of him involving a chocolate truck and a bacon truck, and a nicely chocolatey bacony treat lands in Homer's opened mouth...
How many/.'ers out there currently have PCs with 512MB of RAM and only 1GB hard drives? I would expect anyone that needs a terebyte of RAM would need a hell of a lot more than 2TB of storage space...
I'm a student in a field of physics heavily dependent upon clustered computing (going to graduate school in high energy theory, I've worked on two previous computational research projects developing parallel C code), so I don't really "see" myself as being able to give up my linux box for real development projects.
That being said, this summer I'm planning on buying (building if I go the PC route) a new computer for graduate school, and I'd love for it to be an iMac G5. But will I feasibly be able to use it without having a variant of linux installed? All the commerical apps I need (Mathematica, MATLAB) have Mac versions, but what about things like LaTex, emacs, gcc... things I use on a daily basis?... are there ports? Can you merely run these from the terminal like you would on any ordinary BSD or linux box?
And if you can, is it easier to just use linux?
(BTW... I own a 20 gig iPod, and aside from the massive headaches getting it to play nice with Slackware, I love it!)
I think that the majority of/.er's just regard this ruling as another step twoard the manifest destiny of the world... You have to wear your IR because it's embedded in your arm, and unless you're very clever there's no way to avoid telling the feds who you are (after all, the bill of rights doesn't pertain to RFID tags).
Unless you have unknowing moderators at your SAT exam center. I used my 89 and it got me a near perfect math score in about half the time it took the other people testing. Then I got to play spyhunter while I was waiting...

"Ma Bell" is a nickname for AT&T... like "Mother Bell" because it split into severl smaller "Baby Bells"...

Mmmm... chocolate AND bacon...
Does that 300 years timeframe include the destrucion phase outlined in this article...
Or is this actually a "Duke Nukem Forever" type of timeframe???
you forgot... blah blah blah do they run linux?

old news (if you can even call it that)! They posted that on gizmodo on 8/13... over a week ago!
AOL tried it. So far, it hasn't worked.

or did he look like some sort of serial killer/mad man to everyone else? Especially in that second photograph... ::shudders::
Slashdotted already? Does anyone have a mirror?
Technically, that there is the Time Independent Schrödinger equation... the full equation is
:-P
i*h-bar*deriv(Psi w.r.t. t) = H*Psi
If we just speak of the time-independent equation we leave out all sorts of quantum mechanical goodness...
Why type when you can just point and click?
Because I type a lot faster than I mouse...
