I would be pissed off if my school implemented Mozilla as the default e-mail client. Is it just me or does Mozilla STILL not have a spell checker? That is a feature that I can't live without in a mail client.
Seeing how I am on a school lab computer right now, lets see what options are availabe for email.
Netscape Navigator 7.0 IE 5.0 (can't seem to find outlook express) and my favorite X-win32, that lets me open KMail
hmm ok so this NT 4.0 machine that I am on is old as dirt, but at least it has mail clients with spellchecking.
This is incorrect for several reasons. First of all you seem to be saying that acceleration is a vector quantity by making it bold, yet you do not bold force?
So now lets look at F=ma and see how it applies in this situation. Most idiots agree that F=ma is Newton's Second Law of Motion. Well they are wrong.
This equation does not work if the mass is changing. In rockets masses tend to change. So now lets look at the appropriate equation for Newton's Second Law.
F=dp/dt
This equation states that force is equal to the rate change of momentum. When the mass is not changing this becomes F=ma.
Finally none of these equations make a damn bit of sense if your not using the SI system. Less you forgot to include a gravitational constant or other English system mess.
I know more mathematics than Euclid, Diophantus, al-Kwahrizmi, Fermat, Newton, Leibniz, Euler, Hamilton, and Abel.
That is a bold faced lie, and you should be modded down for it. Euler had more mathematical knowledge in his little pinky than you could ever aspire to posses.
Lets see the guy introduced functions, i, and e.
He came up with this little beauty. e^(ix)= cos(x)+ isin(x)
"Read Euler, read Euler, he is our master in everything" (Beckmann 1971, p. 153)
Euler did extensive work in number theory, diff eq, on a level that most could never understand. I mean he was working with gamma, beta, and the Riemann zeta function back then. Euler owns you!

John Fraser, a 21-year-old engineer from Chanhassen, Minnesota
Has anyone ever met a "21-year-old" Engineer? I know I personally would purchase a MAC clone from this guy if he were really an Engineer. That is an accredit Engineer who graduated from a four year ABET accredited program, took an FET exam, practiced as an Engineer in Training for four years and then took his PE exam. What do ya bet he is not a legal Engineer at 21?
Maybe I am just jealous because I am 21 and have yet to graduate from college, much less call myself an Engineer.
developing under your favorite text editor feels like comparing Eclipse to the dinosaur age
The only comparison I can give between my favorite text editor and Eclipse is that it feels as if it takes a dinosaurs age to open Eclipse. On my machine (AMD 1.2Ghz, 764mb RAM) my favorite text editor GVIM loads in 0.22s whereas Eclipse 2.0 loads in 27.00s. I must say however that Eclipse is the absolute best Java IDE I have ever used, I just wish it opened a little faster.
you are a damn fool, I am going to steal Office 11 from IRC of course, so its not costing me or my company a penny. As far as I am concerned Word is the only application that can handle.doc format. Yes I have tried OO and AbiWord and have not be to pleased with the way they display word docs. if that means I have to borrow a copy of VMware and run MS Office (insert large number here) then so be it.

The astronauts are well aware that with each launch, they have a 50% to 70% chance of being killed.
How do you figure your percentages? I am only aware of 13 Astronaut deaths, and one civilian death on the shuttle. So you are saying we have only sent up 26 Astronauts by your figures. Numbers are not for the mathematically challenged, use them with care for they have meaning.
If it was 60+ lbs of ice it would be like 60+ lbs of ice hitting the orbiter as it falls from the tank. The relative velocity between the falling foam/ice and the orbiter was relatively small, not anywhere near the size needed to draw the safe @365 mph conclusion. The article you are reffering does not take into account the fact that the foam and the shuttle were moving at the same speed when the foam fell off.
Running all these CPU's in Windows XP can hardly be considered a reasonable test. I would be willing to bet that stamp collector with his 133 MHz DOS machine has a faster boot time than the 3.04 GHz machine running Windows XP.
The point is the Alienware laptop kicked the desktop MAC's butt all over my screen. How would you like to see the desktop MAC's battery life comparison with the Alienware laptop?
anyone who have used a Mac can also tell you that speed is not what really counts.
As a real computer scientist I worship the speed god, thus my desktop platform of choice is PC. I am also a poor college student who does not go to ___ (insert University that cons in students with macs).
The Mac OS X operating system and the software included is smart and allows you to work a lot faster.
Thats another problem I have with it, everything just works. I like PCs because I can spend hours on end tinkering. Also I do not care for smart software ___ (insert male ego here).
that will be either autonomous or radio controlled
As opposed to me sitting in the thing flying it? I can't think of any other way to control a fake butterfly. By the way I am going to press the submit button by either keyboard or mouse.
I just wanted to say in general that if you believe in evolution, clearly the egg came first
Well if you believe in Judeo-Christianity, clearly the chicken came first. This just goes to show your beliefs have little impact on what really occurred.
computer games like Doom and music-swapping Napster software.
Well considering that the later doesnt even exist anymore, and that you cant even jump in the former its obvious the navy is even further behind than we thought.
Essentially, they allow you to take control of any window on your desktop, regardless of whether that window is running as you, localsystem, or anywhere in between.
My mouse does the same thing as these exploits! I can take control of any window on my desktop with it. Guess I will have to keep visiting windowsupdate.microsoft.com looking for a solution to this mouse problem.
