JAMES ABRAM GARFIELD (1831-1881, 20th President of the United States) was a mathematican.
Given that Bessel first introduced his funtion in 1817 and did further work on it in 1824 it is entirely possible Garfield was aware of it. I'm not sure when it became commonly taught to mathematicans.
Be careful with what kind of knives you have on campus. The University cops showed up for something stupid a friend of mine's roomate did and they totally freaked out and wanted to arrest my friend for this tiny flimsy double-bladed knife he had in plain sight in the room. If you saw this thing you would laugh. I think I could bend that knife until it shattered into pieces and I'm typical 115 lb weak geek. Campuses have weird rules about "weapons".
The DMCA actually protects isp's from having to deal with this. One of the provisions says isp's are not responsible for their users as long as they remove material when notified after a certain amount of time. So while they lost this case in Germany, they wouldn't have in the US because of the DMCA.
But if this Linux thing is so good, then why is it FREE? Can you answer me that??
Did you see the new IBM commercial? Where there are two managers of a basketball team and all the players are various parts of the infrastructure. One of the managers says to the other, "so how's this new linux guy?" The other manager says he's great. The first manager asks how muck he costs. The other manager tells him he cost peanuts. The first manager asks why would someone that good play for so little. The other manager tells him for love of the game!
Of course, all the BSD's use pretty much the whole GNU system as well
Not entirely, they do use some GNU software, gcc comes to mine, but they use a lot of their own utilities. They have their own shells, their own libc, etc. The bsd version of programs tend to be smaller, faster, and less featureful. People often go and install the GNU versions of certain programs from the ports first thing after an install if some of those left out features are important to them.
Oh and the guy who ruined parts of it for me with your fuckin' sig, I got people looking for you.
Damn straight you do. Somebody needs to hunt down that Fucker. My eyes saw the part about his mom dying before I managed to scroll past. I think we pretty much all new his mom was gonna die, but still. Had me really paranoid trying to avoid all spoilers the last few days before it came out.
You can still do tilde escapes in ssh or at least openssh.
fox:~ % ~? Supported escape sequences: ~. - terminate connection ~R - Request rekey (SSH protocol 2 only) ~^Z - suspend ssh ~# - list forwarded connections ~& - background ssh (when waiting for connections to terminate) ~? - this message ~~ - send the escape character by typing it twice (Note that escapes are only recognized immediately after newline.)
Security is not as hard as quality of service. We have some idea of how to do security (in IPv6 everything is encrypted at the network layer, where it belongs), but we have no kind of QoS in IPv4. There is a field in the header for it, but it is mostly left at 0 by everyone. I am not sure how they plan to do it in IPv6.
And of course the article has nothing to do with Lain, it's mostly about VoIP, IPv6, etc.
Yep. I'm from Texas A&M and our math department does the exact same thing. Our general purpose unix server (as in everyone in the University has an account on, just people taking certain math courses have accounts on our math servers) has maple on it. The general purpose server use to have a copy of matlab, but I guess the license expired or something because it's not there anymore.
I think most Wal-mart shoppers will probably just pirate a copy of the 'ol Windows.
Or maybe they'll pick up a copy of Windows at Wal-mart. Wal-mart does sell Windows ya know. Or maybe they'll pick up a linux distro at Wal-mart. Yeah, Wal-mart sells that too.
It's kind of like... "We know you're going to load Windows on this anyway, and if you're so cheap as to want a $400 PC we know damn well you won't buy Windows legit, but that's OK, we'll make money off of it and all the alternative OS supporters will love us too..."
You do know walmart actually sells non-oem versions of windows. They also sell copies of linux too.
While I've never been addicted to it, I've seen several people here at the helpdesk get addicted to the little arcade space shooter known as xkobo. The addiction only ends when they pass level 50.
Louisiana did tell the Federal Goverment to go screw themselves and kept a 65 mph speed limit. Their roads are some of the shittiest in the nation. Louisiana is actually a poor state. It is the rich states that couldn't afford to kiss off the federal funds. Although that was changing, many states were calculating how much a 55 mph speed limit cost them to enforce, decided it was costing more than the federal funds (I have no idea how they came up with numbers for that), and were about to tell the Federal goverment they didn't need the money anymore. That's why the Federal Goverment removed the national speed limit recently. They couldn't risk the states not taking federal funds for highways because that is how they make many "laws" (National Drinking age for one) they do not have the constitutional power to enforce.
Word is an absolute piece of shit. Word is THE reason i hate microsoft. Not Windows, I don't have a problem with Windows, but Word is such a piece of shit. What i can't figure out is why. I mean people have been writing quality word processors since dos. And what should dominate the industry but this piece of shit called Word. It's insane. The rest of office is fine. Powerpoint is actually an innovative easy to use quality product, but word, what a piece of shit.
BSD was goverment funded. They had, I believe, a darpa grant to work on the tcp/ip stack. Search the internet and read about the history of BSD. Code from BSD has found it's way into just about every os there is including linux.
Posting and downloading movies to usenet is a major copyright violation in the USA and Canada with or without the DMCA. Did the MPAA invoke the DMCA or just basic copyright law to get Excite@Home to remove the newsgroups?

Why do they require you to know your monitors sync frequencies and how does windows get away with not requiring people to know them?

a fairly old Microsoft OS (released before W2K, AFAIK)
Was it? I could have sworn W2K came before WinMe. By a few months I thought. I could be wrong though.
It's kind of like... "We know you're going to load Windows on this anyway, and if you're so cheap as to want a $400 PC we know damn well you won't buy Windows legit, but that's OK, we'll make money off of it and all the alternative OS supporters will love us too..."

Wierd just had the Economist says No Harm part when I looked at it before.
The link you posted says nothing of the sort.

Apache runs on Windows too. Some of the people in my dorm run it that way and make fun of the people using IIS, especially now after code red.
