I am also studying in engineering, in a new Problem & Project-oriented program. Basically there's no teachers as such, only small groups of students working together to solve given problems. Most of it could be done remotely (learning new concepts from textbooks, etc.) and it would be alright, but you can't become engineer without getting "hands-on" with the subject, and that includes using expensive lab hardware.
Also, team work, project management and such can't be learned by textbooks and wouldn't work correctly off campus.
And your ping will be faster in Quake, since there is no D/A A/D conversion going on. I'll take a 6.5 KB pure digital download over a 6.5 KB analog modem download any day.
I trust you're not referring to a cable modem, which connection is purely analog... A few seconds on google will confirm that if you want.
There is an older movie, Tintin and the Blue Oranges (1964) that was made for the big screen before... It was quite boring though, and didn't feel at all like the comics.
My guess is that this new one will be an entertaining movie, but still miles away from the original Tintin envisionned by Hergé.
I've learnt the basics of OpenGL with Nehe's Tutorials. It was ok. Then I found GameTutorials which is, IMHO, far superior.
The tutorial code is much better and as easy to understand, and it does have a ton of tutorials covering basics to advanced topics (BSP trees, Volumetric fog, Q3 models animations, etc.)
Almost all tutorials are ported to SDL.
Here's a funny quote from DigiBen, of the two admins:
I was just looking over the OpenGL tutorials and I want to ONCE again throw out my gratitude for the sweet SDL ports that Golem and EvilSmile have compiled for us. There is only like 20 more, if that before they are ALL! done. I was going to then go and post our site on SlashDot once that is done, which I hear TRASHES web sites because of all their hits. So once those are done, or near done, prepare for some huge publicity and a bunch of crazy linux users to start pouring in:)
I sure hope that you know the difference between an alloy and a chemical compound. Refer to that grade school manual you have lying around somewhere...
It is well known that the Bogoliubov treatment leads to excited states ranging from phonon like disturbances of the mean field amplitude at low energies to particle like excitations at high enough energies.
It says it's well known, and you imply that/. readers don't know that? (or, huh, understand what it's talking about?) I mean, come on, this is/. !
It is not always obvious when someone is good or cheating.
For instance, I've been called a cheater often playing UT; usually after visiting a secret room, or doing some special trick. I recall once I took a Quad Damage that usually is only available using jump boots, and the boots were disabled on the server. Everyone called me a cheater. Until I mentionned rocketjumping. And even then, some still didn't believe me. I don't remember if translocators were enabled, but probably:) Anyway, my point is that innovative gameplay and exploiting the game capabilities (ie.,rocket jump, translocators, etc.) will often get you booted up in these games before you can explain your technique, and maybe you want to keep those tricks for yourself.
The French provider AlternB had to pay Estelle Halliday 40 000FF back in 1999 for a similar case (pics uploaded by a user of the free webhosting). It was called then "La Defaite de l'Internet" (the Lost of the Internet), and Altern has yet to reopen their free hosting service.

I am currently working as tech-suport for a popular broadband provider, and I know exactly what you are talking about.
However, you've got to realise that the techs might not be "incompetent telephone monkeys"; they HAVE to follow the support boundaries.
I was a few times on a situation like you describe, and I was convinced that the customer was still in Linux / OSX / Unsupported. The thing is if he tells you he's in IE, you can support him (often simply escalate to an higher level), even if you don't believe him. If he says he's in Mozilla and you try to help him, well you fail a possible audit on the call.
Unless you're ready to get in trouble for supporting something unsupported, you've got to stick with the policies. It's not the tech's decision, but the company's...
It's not a "required amount" of commercials, it's a maximum amount.
There is a maximum time of advertisement that a station can show over 30 minutes. I'm sure that's already used to the maximum allowable, so these devices really are pointless up here.

I just checked, and your comment is infact 124 bytes... :)
Close though
(yeah, we both have way too much time on our hands!)
We all know the simulation will be ended soon anyway, thanks to the Volgons...
When in doubt, re-read Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. You can't go wrong with that.

FWIW, Tintin has been adapted as cartoons several times for TV... Wasn't all that bad either.
(So were Asterix cartoons, Spirou & Fantasio's, etc.)
It's true that live action adaptations will almost certainly take the spirit away from the original works though.
It is a joke.
Take the time to read the article and you'll see for yourself.

It rules, but not enough! I mean, am I the only who wants to see the pictures?
What kind of toilet seats do you have? And...huh, where are the wings? IMHO, that looks very much like an helicopter.

There's a game called SimFarm you know...
You should try it out... No cars, a lot of green space, and a very good zoom on the farms.

5 x 1400 = 7000 / 60 = 116.67
This gives under two hours for a year of spams (1400 messages).
Now 1$ per spam makes 1400$ for those two hours, or 700$/hr. I'd glady delete mail for that salary.
