Sometime last year, IEEE proposed new naming standards - gigabyte, megabyte etc would mean 10^.... , while the 2^... variants would become 'mebibyte, gibibyte, tebibyte...
I may have it backwards, and i don't know if it ever was approved, but it sure does sound funny. can you imagine buying a 10 gibibyte hard drive?

So, the rebate thing may suck, but they are also putting in some community service, which i think is a good thing (tm)

Check out Emporer Linux
They sell mainstream laptops (sony, toshiba, whatever) with linux on them for a few extra bucks.
I know the people who run the shop, very professional, and very good./Blatant ad
The issue here is that they are trying to get a profit off of someone ELSES efforts.
If i go to the trouble of setting up a voice over IP server, what right does the telephone company have to say that someone in a certain country has to pay THEM to use it?

The point isn't that i can't run NES games on a PC.
the point is:
1) To gain knowledge of the PCI specification
2) Style points (how many ppl have an ACTUALY nes in their computer?)
3) To be able to say i've done something somewhat original....

No, FERPA forbids this sort of thing. It says that the student, and the student alone, can choose what outside organizations can get access to his records.
In fact, my school gave my SSN to an outside website for one of my classes, and i contacted the administration, who then contacted their legal team.
They do CISC emulation, for backwards compatibility sake.
The line between RISC and CISC is really blurred nowadays anyway, with RISC chips with > 150 opcodes, and CISC chips translating CISC stuff to faster RISC codes.
CERT" does not stand for anything. Rather, it is a registered service mark of Carnegie Mellon University.
Its history, however, is that the present CERT® Coordination Center grew from a small computer emergency response team formed at the SEI by the Defense
Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in 1988. The small team grew quickly and expanded its activities. As our work evolved, so did our name.
When you refer to us in writing, it's OK to refer to us as the CERT® Coordination Center or the CERT/CC. Although you should not expand "CERT" into an acronym, it's appropriate to note in your text that we were originally the computer emergency response team.

I got this from a friend, and it works perfectly.

take how long you think it'll take, add one, and go up the next denomination of time.
example: 3 days will take 4 weeks, 4 weeks will take 5 months,
it's scary how accurate this is

It's better to contact a game publishing house than it is to try to start your own company to publish exactly one product.
In the end you won't be distributing it yourself (you'll have to hire a game distributor)
Base a company around a product line (perhaps a particular type of game that is unique), but not around a single product.

Actually, most versions of 'hello world' that i've seen fail to check the return value of printf!
and in many of them, main does not return a value indicating success or failure. *shrug*

I'm a third year computer engineering student at georgia tech.
This is what it looks like to me:
CS = dotcom whore. You'll probably go into IT or be a code monkey
CmpE = Digital Design, things like pipelining, cache, etc etc etc. The intro Cmp E classes are digital design (intro to digital logic etc)
I think a computer engineering degree is more robust (esp. if you get a P.E.). A Computer engineer could easily go into programming if so inclined.

Here's the text:
-----------------
Slackware 7.2 is NOT released.
Is this in the slackware-current, or slackware-7.2 directory?
Looks like slackware-current to me.
Wake up, do some REAL reporting (like, ask someone on our team), and
stop trying to get "fp!".
...should be about a month for the actual release.

The TIVO attempts to find programs that you like and record them for you.
It even records shows it "thinks" you might like and offers them to you. Has anyone who has used a tivo extensively found this to be any good?

The point isn't that i can't run NES games on a PC.

1) To gain knowledge of the PCI specification
2) Style points (how many ppl have an ACTUALY nes in their computer?)
3) To be able to say i've done something somewhat original....
I was just talking to a friend last night about the feasability of putting a NES on a PCI card.
if it uses a mmap'd framebuffer for graphics, i could probably manage to push the video data over the PCI bus and use DGA.
has something like this been tried before?
perl -pi -e 's/www.aol.com/www.slashdot.org/' AOL.exe
You may have to run it on other files too. who knows...
Yes it will run linux. AMD is quite commited to keeping us happy.
:)
Linux kernel developers even have simulations of AMDs next generation 64 bit CPU so that when it is released linux will be ready for it. woohoo!
having said that, it won't run linux until it's actually on the market, but that's beside the point
btw, does one need special athlons for SMP, or are all athlons SMP compliant?

Check into FERPA and your options in this case.

Just TRY to buy a 'naked' apple PC. chances are it won't happen.

Why? the OS is bundled with the hardware. Has been for years. but they'll gladly sell you an OS X upgrade for $29.99
CERT is no longer the "Computer Emergency Response Team."
According to their FAQ:

Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in 1988. The small team grew quickly and expanded its activities. As our work evolved, so did our name.
