That's the same book that I used. I even bought the $75 basic cartidge. The one that called randomization "black magic" to avoid explaining how the computer did it. I stopped programming because as I got into bigger and bigger programs I would lose the big picture, get confused as it became more difficult to keep track of things I would lose interest.
I'll check out Qbasic though.
I have a 7 yr old that I would like to bring beyond the gaming stage. I started learning basic myself (the book "Basic Basic" on my PCjr at age 13. Of course that screwed me for other languages later no. That's probably why I'm not a programmer, that and I don't want to be one.
Anyway, what would be a good language to feed my 7 yr old son? Is python too advanced? I seem to remember Logo.. is it still around?
I think it's because natural selection has been blown away by corrective lenses. Without them, for example, I would be dead in the 15th(lenses by then?) century by now. I would be useless to society - I couldn't hunt to provide food for my family for instance. What chick would want to hook up with a person like that? Of course you could take this farther and talk about other physical defects as well. That is left as an exercise for the reader.
He thought that the question was about running Dnet on the cluster (that would be a waste), but they were actually asking why not use a Dnet "style" of parallel computing like SETI is doing....
You can bet that if MSFT wants to buy several hundred thousand 600's, AMD will produce them. By then it will cost AMD next to nothing to produce such an old-technology chip.
I work for a VAR. Here's the personnel breakdown: We have 5 techs 2 of which are women (one hardware one network). Our admin staff has one woman working on her CS degree and another in pre-larval stage IMHO working on getting A+ certified. We have a sales rep that used to be a programmer. That's quite a few woman techhies for a shop our size.
The answer is No. You must have Term Server + Citrix Metframe to use any of the Citrix produced clients. They only work with their ICA protocol. You can also use the NT 3.51 based Winframe product. It's a complete OS, not just an add-on to 3.51.
I have a laptop running Linux and I attach to my Metaframe server and run Office 2000 under X quite well. Feels blasphemous every time I do it though.
The problems that were occuring (later on) were happening during post. Before that (when it would still pass POST) the errors were occuring sporadically even in DOS. Like MCafee loading the DOS 4gw protected mode would bomb out with a stack dump. It wasn't even getting to windows then. Again, no doubt it was the CPU. Twice.
No, it was the CPU. I work at a warranty auth. place and I replaced the mainboard and memory first for the reasons you stated. It was the CPU no doubt about it. Once I replaced it it booted up again.
Anybody else had problems with these failing? In my experience it's very unusual to have a CPU fail, but just this week we have had two new Compaq's come in with bad AMD CPU's. They were both 350's. They started with various memory errors and faults, then eventually wouldn't boot any more.
I mean it. What kind of freaking company is this? Why are they even still in business? Hopefully the negative publicity from this will make waves. If not, incidents like this will continue to happen due to their arrogance. Someone needs to take them down a few notches. It's happening to Microsoft, why not Network Solutions? If I had lost 4 grand I would be gunning for someone about now.
Here's the thing - and it's why the term cracker will never be used. For many people the term has negative connotations refering to white people. Nigger is to black people as cracker is to white poeple. That is why it is taking so long to be used by the press, and may never be.
If you've read "Enders Shadow", Card describes a curse for being intelligent. Your life span is toast. Bean is 'cursed' to be incredibly intelligent but to get that intelligence he never stops growing - until his body is no longer able to support itself at around age 25. That's a lot worse than being a little ADD or Autistic.
Well, since this operation would require an ENTIRE healthy corpse this would be a huge waste. One corpse can provide parts for a dozen people in need. Liver, kidneys, eyes, lungs, heart. To take that one rare corpse and give the whole thing to one rich guy would be wrong. Not to mention the fact that the new body would start to go again just like the original paralysed body did.
This can already be done easily with MS Terminal Server and Citrix Metaframe. I can use Word over the internet (see Ctrix's Demo site) and if you DON'T use the Java or ActiveX client it is quite fast. Just about as fast as being local, and bonus, you never have to install anything but a small two disk client. Imagine - never install Word 2000 on your computer, but if you need to use it to open a Doc from your lawyer just rent it briefly.

Interesting, thanks for the link worm-breath.
Not much else to say - the subject says it all. How did we expect to find out the results of such an attempt? Any slashdotters working at the NSA?
