Honestly, it's not a difficult test. If you've been taking classes for at least two years, are interested in the field, and have some wetware in the brainbin, you should have no difficulty at all. I took the CS GRE last year, after 5 semesters of college, and my studying was limited to the (rather helpful) information provided by ETS. I can't tell you how well I did, because I don't know what the scoring scale is. Normal GRE is 200-800, but the subject is on a different scale. In any case, whatever an 840 actually means, it's enough to get you (me) into Stanford... is studying really worth it? Spend the time playing hockey, or masturbating, or something useful.
Diamond spontaneously decays into graphite... no mass change, I suppose, but it has different absorption of gasses from the air, and different density (matters if they measure mass through weight in an atmosphere). Gold is much more long-lasting.

First off, it does. But second off, there's another way to deal with this that's quite trivial in any language (such as java) that supports serialization. You serialize an object to a bytestream in memory, change whatever data you want (public or private) and unserialize it. Or, to access private code, instead of data, you serialize it, create (on the fly is easy enough) an equivalent class with all public members, change the headers of the serialized data, and unserialize it as a member of the new class. This can be prevented, somewhat, by having the class non-serializable and by having it final (so it can't be extended with a serializable version), but it's trivial to make a class loader that just un-finals all classes.
Are there any stereos that JUST have this aux in, or perhaps aux in plus radio? I've had two car tape players and one cd player die, and frankly, I'd rather save $10 and not have moving parts to break.
b) I suspect the CVV2 number (security number) on that card actually was wrong. I had a Visa card from 2001 (the first year they really pushed CVV2) that had an erroneous number. It's a relatively simple number to verify, so I'd be somewhat surprised if there was a bug in their checking routine.

No, the Dell Precision workstations are not "completely silent." They may be stunningly quiet; I don't know, I've never heard one. But "completely silent" is different. It doesn't mean that there's minimal sound, or that the sound is well muffled. It means that no sound is being generated. I have a stack of computers sitting around... the only two that approach "completely silent" are an iBook (using ramdisk, fan off, optical drive not in use) and epia (solid state hard disk, but the damn switching power supply makes an almost-audible noise).
I appreciate that for most people "damn quiet" is good enough. Heck, even for me it is. But "completely silent" is an absolute, and it should be used that way.
Not everyone who uses free software has an agenda. The beauty of Linux, and all free software that's at least moderately popular, is that once it exists it never ceases to exist. I have no vested interest in Linux being continually developed until I die, I simply like using it. If WineX reduces developer spending on Linux... so what? Why do I care?
What you describe would cost you less than $30/month at BSDWebhosting.net... less than $20/month if your bandwidth description is a maximum you must have available, rather than what you continuously use. I have never used BSDWebhosting.net for a large site, and don't know how well their services scale up... but I use them for a large handful of small sites, and have never been so pleased with a hosting company.
Well, yes. But honestly, Foundations Edge is one of my favorite of Asimov's books, as it just shows what a truly good writer can do when he relaxes and plays around a bit. Keep in mind that the original quote (the individual is unpredictable) is meant to reflect psychohistory in Seldon's age; the quote you provide (individuals can be manipulated) is after many years of further work by the second foundation, a group dedicated to nothing but improving Seldon's math. I agree there's a bit of a disparity there -- Seldon seems to suggest what is possible, rather than what he can do -- but also remember that Foundation was supposed to be a trilogy, and anything after three is publisher-derived money-grubbing sequels, even if I do enjoy them.
