On a related note, has anyone seen rc5/des benchmarks in any of the reviews? Though I've read many of the reviews, because there're so many, I haven't had time to read them all...
I know that there were some scores rumored to be about 1.6 Mk/sec, I'd prefer some verifiable numbers:).
>being a CS major, there's like 5 girls in my whole class at Va Tech...
I also go to VA Tech (majoring in CS), but the dilemma I have is that I don't think they're any girls left in my classes; there were some in previous years, but they all seem to be gone by now... Is my only recourse to take Sociology and the like?
I just checked -- it's called the "Criterion" Collection. I've also seen it listed as the "Director's Cut" elsewhere. A choice quote from the first link:
This version includes the 'excessively violent' scenes which the MPAA made Verhoeven cut in order to obtain a more marketable R rating.
Yes! That's now in my queue of DVDs-to-buy:).

Ooh, I'd love to see the NC-17 version of Robocop. I consider it to be a scifi classic, and I'd like to see the NC-17 version not simply because of the "NC-17", but because I'd like to see it as close as the director had originally intended it.
I must heartily recommend reading that review. I almost fell off my chair laughing:). Another choice quote:
...but this movie has earned the most severe CAP Influence Density (ID) of almost 200 movies: a CAP ID of 10.65! *Natural Born Killers* (R) earned a CAP Influence Density of 7.46! Most R-rated movies earn CAP IDs between 1.00 and 3.00.
I'll be graduating in May, and in the months leading up to that, I will begin my search for a "real job". My thinking is that money is only worth so much, and the work environment makes a real difference to personal satisfaction. At my current summer internship I have:
Basically no dress code
Free soda fountain
Monthly company-sponsored TGI Friday's parties with free beer and food
Are there any other perks I should look out for in an employer?
Now all we need is a distributed.net port to this thing that transfers blocks when you sync....
That was actually considered;). However, the Pilot has such intense power conservation (as one person put it "Even when it's on, it's off") that the client would kill your battery life:-/.

Yup, I'm a senior... And, they're a few girls, but most are 'taken' or unattractive :(
>Drop by the next Ass. for Women in Computing meeting, and you'll find PLENTY of upperclasswomen in CpE and CS there
Seriously? I'd feel kinda odd going there, being a guy and all ;).

You too? Scorched Earth was great, especially for its time -- it even supported that newfangled (sp?) "SVGA" :).
Is Scorched Earth still around, in any form? I don't even think a Windows version was made...

Also, since CmdrTaco mentioned it, are there any estimates for the K7's rc5 speed?

They could still sell support, a la Red Hat...

heh. I'm guessing that, if they really wanted to crack it with their own hardware, they could do it within a matter of minutes, if not seconds...

Eco Hack is a util that underclocks your Pilot to save batteries. However, it's shareware and I'd rather not pay for more software (just my opinion).

FWIW, the actual song title is Copa Cabana.
