That could be why the statement has been declared funny by the moderators, couldn't it?
I've got Thunderbird around here, but don't use it much. The filters *are* very good, but for general user experience nothing much beats GNUMail. I get errors when building LUsernet that I haven't yet explored, so until then I use knode for abusenet luvverliness. I probably ought to update the TBird binary at some point given that I've got a rather ancient version. Then again, I may just check whether any other users are using it, and not bother if not:-).
That won't work in my building, but it's a nice idea. We used to have a separate server room but it was converted into an office, so now the servers sit in the systems office.
My PCs and workstations are generally quite quiet (apart from the black slab, which has one of the loudest Seagate disks I've ever heard) and I can get to sleep with all of them on. But then I work at silly times and often just drop off anyway:-). I'd like to see a silent cooling mechanism for a Sun Enterprise 450 though; those bleeders ARE loud! And I can't justify turning off the mail/NFS/apps server whenever I want a bit of shuteye...
But, one thing that would work is to modify the core kernel to remove the module license check, or remove warning messages so it didn't matter. The code is GPL'd, which means anyone is free to modify it to suit their needs, as long as they release their mods
Only if they distribute the modified version. No distribution = no [need for] code release.
This baby lacks a Mr. Fusion. I take it that the car also doesn't fly for use in 2015...:-(. Oh well, whoever buys it has much happy modding ahead of them!
Well, with those literacy skills, I wouldn't debate the point too vehemently. The answer to your question is 'yes', but apply it to other people and it might not be.
I'm just speaking from experience, it's not bullshit but I expect our experiences differ, being different people and everything;-). The University careers service here has the occasional programming job but they're all in.NET or VB...the jobs market for people like me (UNIX, C, Cocoa/OpenStep, Objective-C, Python, Perl, all-round UNIX kinda feller) seems even less happy (i.e. it's dead). The jobs that *are* available are in writing bespoke software for things like telecoms routers; nothing directly in my field of expertise apart from the Apple Store in London. I suppose I could always stick to Physics...but then there are no jobs for at least another three years because I need a Phd:-).
You've been offered a job and you're worried about the pay? It's better to be worried about finding a job, which is the bit you've already achieved. America (and indeed Britain) is in that all-too-familiar position where the number of CS graduates outguns the number of CS vacancies, so you can't expect to be paid too much until your name is equated with redhotness. Worse still for CS grads (at least this is how it works in the UK) is that many employers in the IT sector don't want CS grads to fill their computing positions, they want mathematics, science or even classics grads who they see as having more problem solving skills. As one employer said to me when I was starting at University (physics, before you ask) it's easier to teach a thinker to program a computer than it is to teach a computer programmer to think.
So you start at the low end of the pay scale. That's not so bad. In a few years the waiter will still be earning the same salary when you're on a bit more.
It's possible for there to be a net power flow but no energy in a system, for instance consider the power transferred to the wheels of a car at rest when you open the throttle is non-zero although the kinetic energy of the wheels is zero.
Also, the frame-dragging effect of Einstein's rotation would be hard to measure; remember that so far frame-dragging has only been (apparently) observed in matter accretion discs around black holes.
Einstein probably was not "very knowledgable" in that he vas just zis guy, you know? His knowledge of physics was certainly very advanced for a patent clerk, but then I wonder how skilled he was at zoology, folklore or at quickly determining darts scores:-). What was remarkable about him was his insight, his ability to quickly see physical relations between certain effects and to be able to ascribe a physical basis to known or postulated mathematical results. IMO.
And which were they? I've taken apart both flavours of iMac and they both have a fan in. The fan in the CRT iMac is in the bottom, just behind the CD-ROM drive. The fan in the LCD iMac is right at the top, pointing up toward the monitor stalk.
...because I only have Sun/Texas Instruments SPARC boxen, no Fujitsus around here I'm afraid.
Oh, I see, they mean SPARCv9. Why couldn't they say so? Given the number of manufacturers who make SPARC processing units it's a bit of a shame that many Open Source projects only claim to support the one manufacturer's chips.
BTW has anyone got any experiences of running this on TI UltraSPARC IV machines that they'd like to share?
Indeed it does, but it isn't installed by default, and many people don't choose to install it. So the "many OS X users" who don't have X11 on their system still exist.

Hardly obligatory then, are they?
So you sell stolen Macs then? I'll just go off and fill in that eBay feedback form....

No, outlook isn't very bright.
It was actually the flooding that did us in a few years ago.

Sorry, but I can't resist asking this. Is it true what they say about your fingers? :-)
Yes, alongside communication skills (written and oral), which are also useful tools when seeking employment. ;-)
You'll love whitespace then, I reckon. Unfortunately it isn't Object Oriented so I'm not on topic :-(
C++ gives you enough rope to shoot yourself in the foot.
I invented the term Object-Oriented Programming, and I can tell you I didn't have C++ in mind Alan Kay, OOPSLA 1997.
Yes, they are what are referred to as "receivers". The .gov.uk had to sue them to get their JZDeLorean money back. Which they didn't manage to do.
...and that the CEO was a thieving bastard and swindled the .gov.uk out of so much money. But yeah, the DMC-12 is nice :-).

Power!=Energy
\[
Power = \frac{d}{dt} (Energy)
\]

I'm pretty much glad that my sarcasm went pretty noticed.
