There are many systems like this. Chessworld.net is one, and they just challenged chessbrain to a match. You can see a full list of chessworld.net's ongoing games here: http://chessworld.net/chessclubs/event_show_chessw orld_summary_rowgames.asp
Probably not, since the number of incoming connections crashed their servers, and cost Chessbrain 40 minutes of playing time. Maybe once the infrastructure gets beefed up...
Speaking of which, I'm suprised it isn't/.ed yet (knock on wood).
It would have been interesting to see what would have happened if Chessbrain hadn't had so much trouble with its clock. Likely a draw also, but under better circumstances.

Nope. Nobody's HP calculator sent us to the moon (at least not for the first missions). It was slide rules with 2 decimal places of accuracy (or three if you had a big one and were very good) that got us to the moon.
Tracfone now has 150 minutes for 1 year for $95 or 300 for $150
Or, as someone else said, if you keep buying minutes, your old minutes don't expire. At the current rate of $18 for 30 minutes for 2 months, it's not that much worse then the 1 year plan.
On campus here, everyone has the same prefix, and all you have to do is dial the last 4 digits of the phone number. Well, one of my friends phone number is 3825 (fuck). He gets quite a few phone calls on the weekend from drunk people saying "did you know your phone number is fuck?"
Where did you get this information? Is this something that all grad schools do, and the numbers are standardized? or is this only something that University of Chicago does?
I've had the experience of looking over code that my dad has written during an all nighter. As the later in the night it gets, the more likely it is that his comments are in German.
His native language is English, although he did spend 6 months in Germany 25 years ago.
I had this exact same experience with my IBM laptop, except I didn't even have to make the trip to AirBorne. They picked up at my dorm, which is good since I didn't have a car then.
Sorry, you were making sense up until the "Speed" part there. I'll admit it's getting much better with 1.1a, but it's not nearly as quick as IE4/5/6 yet (at least with DOM manipulation via javascript).
wouldn't it be more accurate to say that mozilla is faster the IE4/5/6 for everything except DOM manipulation via javascript. At least that is my experience...
The company that I used to work for would do this. They often wrote programs on contracts from huge companies (IBM, HP, etc). They always gave two quotes, one for the non-exclusive license, and the source was always 10x more.
First of all, if you're one semester from graduation - finish your year. The piece of paper will still be worth something, especially when the economy rebounds.
Actually, the piece of paper is worth much more in a bad economy. That piece of paper (rightly or wrongly) shows that you are competent. In a bad economy, only competent people have jobs. In a good economy, it doesn't matter if you are competent or not.

Have you paid linuxant for the new HCF driver? It touts 2.6 compatibility, but I haven't tried it.
At a salary of $36 per hour, you make 1 cent a second. Do you save 5 or 10 seconds an hour by using Panther?

I already wrote 'why' for windows.
#include
void main(void)
{
printf("because windows sucks\n");
}
Trillian Pro is for paying customers only. .74 (and earlier) is the only free version, and they are witholding the patch for it for the time being.
Stop the FUD please.
But CS schools aren't training people to program for mainframes. That is the point of this article. COBOL is not related at all to C/C++
I learned #3, 4, 5, 7, 8, and 9 in school, mainly because my mother and father know what is important

That would be the problem. You aren't willing to pay a premium of $400 and half the battery life.
find 10,000 people who would, and you'll get your real laptop gaming chip.

since most users don't want to build kmeleon on thier own, why don't you and provide the binaries?
/.?
Or is it just easier to gripe on

Um, you aren't a EE. Hooking a polarized cap, such as an Aluminum Electrolytic or Tantulum cap to reverse polarity will cause it to explode.
Ceramic capacitors (the cheap ones) don't explode, though.
A diode won't explode unless you put way too much voltage across it.

Friend was in the upper deck of the sharks game and didn't feel a thing, contrary to the AP Wire
Makes me wonder how much we should trust the AP.

That is the way it works in the real world.
Considering how much the sun varies in color and brightness, I don't think these people have to worry about inconsitancies in white LEDs
All that means is that Nvidia is better at hiding it.
