Actually you should have no problem getting in to a Chemistry Masters program. You will have a longer prereq phase to catch up to those with an undergrad background in it. E-mail or call an admissions advisor at a school you're interested in. Even if you can't jump right in to their Masters program, they'll tell you what you have to do. Worst case you would have to be a non-degree student and take the classes you need.
It is true that most places frown on two Bachelors degrees unless they're from different colleges, like one in CS and one in art or theater. Once you get your Bachelors, you can load up on as many Masters and PhDs as you have time for.
The difference is anything that runs RedHat 7.3 will also run RedHat 9. I have a PII 300 laptop that chokes on 2000 and XP that will soon become much less useful if I have to worry about getting online with it due to a lack of security updates.
"Good to have" is an understatement. Wikipedia as a resource gains a lot of its value by being always available, so that last 5% of uptime is worth $20k in donations IMHO.
Problem is, if it takes 10 seconds on a modern computer, it takes three minutes for Aunt Edna to send you photos of her dog, and a distributed spamming network will still churn out spam. I think real cash is the only cost that makes sense if you want to go that route.

I was hoping this would be someone's cube with in-cube plumbing for a bathroom, shower, and drinking water. Then just add relatively normal extra stuff like a small microwave and fridge and maybe an inflatable or roll-up bed and you never have to leave.
Pff, if you buy Linus's audio book, you can hear him in his own voice whine on for about a minute about how expensive his new house in downtown LA or SF or wherever he moved to was. He's sitting there complaining to his interviewer who I'm sure lives in a house a tenth as nice, who actually does tell Linus he shouldn't be complaining, to which Linus just responds with more whining.
He might be a great coder but I'm glad he doesn't have any more money to throw away.
Here's the Mars Express Webcast. They talk about the training missions they went through and some of the science they'll be doing while they get telemetry in about how the separation was going.
And the post doesn't make clear that this is all EESA, the Beagle has nothing to do with NASA or its probes.
If I were you, I'd definitely go with an Asus setup.
I did look at the highly recommended Asus P4P800 which has the 865 chipset plus they unlocked PAT, which is the main benefit of the 875. I ended up going Intel because finding info on stability is so tough when every web site I find just talks about overclocking. With your advice I might've gone with Asus.. maybe next time, or if I end up buying this myself.
You're an Evolution developer? I was thinking about looking in to what's involved in a Windows distribution. My guess is that GTK is still super slow and any ports using it won't be usable. But if it's not ready to be released to the Windows users to go head-to-head with Outlook right now then maybe I'll wait until 2.0.
But if they can only choose one, they'll go with "cheap" every time.
What gets me is they'll take a $5.50/hr programmer in India over one here in the U.S. because the one here is perceived as not being good enough to earn the "standard" wage while $5.50 is just what Indian programmers are worth.
Interesting for newbie programmers, maybe. After you code for more than a month you'll find things like this that give you arbitrary precision integers.
An F-22 fighter jet is good for transporting yourself to the grocery store too. Or did you mean he should change his entire OS just to get a decent firewall? He doesn't.
I hope they follow this one. In Mozilla I have to consciously remember that the address bar does not work like every other Windows app I use, because it's not a Win32 Edit control, it's a unique Mozilla widget.
It's true the IE edit box works slightly differently -- you click it once to select everything, then again to select words. And you can double click sections to select just a word. In Mozilla it's totally different; you can't select words automatically, and you click once to select individually and then again to select it all (I think.. today I finally uninstalled it).
Also it's up to 1.5 and they still don't have middle-click scrolling. I've tried mozscroll and whatever the other two projects are. Three projects and they're all painful to use.
Outlook uses F9 to do a manual send/receive, but I'm used to F5 from OE. Unfortunately it looks like Outlook does not let you customize keyboard shortcuts?
Hitting the close button is a lot easier than hitting the minimize button, and I want to use the close button to minimize Outlook to the tray, but it doesn't look like this is possible. I need to keep Outlook open because I want to have it continually check for e-mail only when I'm home, and if I let it check while it's closed then it's a hassle to turn off when I leave.
Outlook top-posts by default. Is this acceptable in e-mail? I'm pretty against this. I turned on > quoting, but it still starts me on top of the quoted message and includes a bunch of headers I don't need. It would be nice to only quote the To and From headers and start me under the message.
Adobe Acrobat 6.0 insists on having its "Attach as Adobe PDF" button on certain toolbars even if I remove it. I got around this one by moving all the buttons to another toolbar and disabling the standard one.
I thought they made a big deal about killing Clippy, but when I opened Word, there he was.
If anyone knows of solutions to the first three I'd appreciate it. Overall I love the new Outlook though, I'm finally leaving OE behind.
Sentient robots that can't reproduce, you'll need a market for. But if they can make more of themselves, you just need to make one, set it off with some materials and knowledge, and it'll start a city of robots you can buy goods and services from, visit on holiday, and maybe even make some friends there.
A sentient computer doing science for you? Are you paying it, or are you in favor of robotic slavery?
I have a P3 1.2 with a GeForce Ti4200, 512MB PC133, and a fast hard drive. Scrolling in the iTunes store gives me about 3 frames per second. I can play games like GTA3, SimCity 4, and Halo at 30+ FPS, but browsing a glorified web page is too much for my PC to handle?
I looked for a while and gave up on finding a mechanical pencil that satisfies these constraints:
Barrel is as thin as a wood pencil. Preferably no grip.
White eraser, the kind that works well and doesn't tear up the paper. Preferably an extra long one.
Optional: Cusioned tip - I think this prevents breakage, if it does then I want it.
I'm not sure on graphite strength. I want whatever breaks the least. I've seen new types of graphite that are supposedly stronger than normal. Anyone have advice?
I've used Bic Cristals for a decade now. I love how the gripless ones feel. I have average hands but I hate holding fat pens or anything with a grip.. I love the feel of the hard plastic and the control it gives me. I have no problem gripping plastic, and I can shift it around when I need to without rubber slowing me down. And they always work, and they're cheap. I lose a lot of pens.

With AMD making up numbers with every chip release to say how fast they think they are, they are clearly the ones to aim the markitecture label at.

In this job market, I will. I'd rather code for minimum wage than do a mind-numbing job for twice or even five times the money.
But if they can only choose one, they'll go with "cheap" every time.

You're right, it's very close. Looks like I have a Mozilla replacement.

Nope, I'm dragging the scroll bar and watching it struggle to keep up.
