If pi is normal, then indeed every sequence of numbers of any lengths appears in decimal (or otherbase) presentation of pi.
It is not enough that it "goes on forever and never repeats". There is no proof yet that pi is normal.
I did not see the pop-ups problem on any device.

For over 10 years, I am reading electronic books on platforms including Palm, Windows Mobile, Maemo, Kindle, Android. Except for "Battery out", I never saw any popup over the book I read. It is only a matter of configuration, and any computer user configures their device as they like it.
This is about plutocracy and anti-labor stance. If the roles were reversed, then the union would be forced to compensate the company for the damages that the union's badly configured server caused the company.
The ARM vendors (TI, Samsung, etc.) do release their kernel changes. What they do not do is work with Linus and RMK on getting their code merged upstream. The GPL does not require that they do that.
If it connects directly to the battery at about 4V, it will only draw 2A, or 8W. This should be enough to warm the case, but not to make it or the device burst into flames.
The contest might be trusted, but not wanted by the administrator of the machine.
Another way to think about it - you are now vulnerable to local root exploits not only in packages you installed, but also in packages you chose not to install.
Most scientific calculations use integer opertation of the CPU, impelementing their own Floating/Fixed point if needed. The type of calculations for which single precision gets the wrong answer really quickly, but double precision is perfect is very rare.
Why would proving that "factorization is in P" break modern public key cryptograph?
If you need to factorize a 128 bit number, and you have O(n^12) method, than you'll still need 2^84 steps.

Complete bullshit. To established the "preferred" all you need is to ask any of the company's programmers one question: "When _you_ need to midify the program, do you use the obfuscated files that were released?"
Some lawyers disagree with you. Author's who signed book publishing rights to publishing houses suddenly find that the publishers assume electronic distribution rights, even though they were not explicitly specified.
NP stands for non-deterministic polynomial. Which means that you can solve the problem in polynomial time, but with a non-deterministic machine. Another way to say it is that given a supposed solution to the problem you can test if it is really a solution in polynomial time with a deterministic machine.

You will probably want to lock the virtual console to prevent console switches. This requires root privileges.
Yes. Somebody is still supporting svgalib, which you could find out if you followed the link to www.svgalib.org. What video card do you have? many new cards are supported.

Someone forgot to tell Nokia that. The micro usb in the N900 seems to be rated for 100 insertions, if you are lucky.

The Nokia N900 has this feature in official firmware.

It does not work the other way, at least not when I (or anyone else I know) grade exams.
Of course, I also don't use this method in class.
The time is usually wasted in reading the file from disk, so calculating two hashes concurrently will take about the same time.

If you don't want other people to distribute you program for a profit, without sharing some of it with you, say so in the license.
