May I be the first to say, that is a sad Math minor. You should at least need to get to Number Theory or Algebra and Real Analysis to qualify for a Math minor. Those five classes are (or should be) requirements for any science course, including Comp Sci.
Truthfully, anything that Fortran can do, C can do better. But that wasn't always the case. Fortran used to be A1 for number crunching, and thus is used and still used by many research companies.
Well, I don't know about that. I hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate using arrays in C. Hate. It is probably second only to Perl for the uselessness of its arrays. And since I usually deal with complex numbers, C is even worse. Finally, the libraries' numerical routines for C aren't as good as those for Fortran, in my opinion.
Yo. I have written a genetic algorithm for minimizing cluster energies in F95. I've written various utilities for my theoretical chemistry work in F95, e.g., a program for doing reflection-principle spectra from ab initio calculations.
Also, (almost?) all major quantum chemistry programs are written in Fortran (usually FORTRAN77), so whenever I need to hack the programs to correct the output, or give me something new, you must do it in Fortran.
I'm just wondering...does 802.11a not operate in the 5.8 GHz range? I know there are three chunks of the 5 GHz area, so is 802.11a going to work in the low and middle bands only (5.15 -5.35)?
I ask because I know VTech (and so other manufacturers, probably) are selling
5.8 phones now, which I assume are operating in the high band.
Not that I wouldn't want to rid myself of it, but for some reason, my Linux box will not boot to the CD-ROM drive at all. This is no matter what the BIOS or SCSI BIOS settings are (really). So, the only way to boot to a CD (say, a new Redhat ISO) is to use a boot floppy.
Strangely, my XP box has a floppy drive that hasn't ever been used. I haven't found a need since CD-Rs are so cheap (for floppy-like usage, the cheap spindles are great).
For $1000 you could get a cheap Shuttle PC with a CD drive and a 180 GB drive (and more). Put in a good sound card and buy speakers, and it'll sound as good.
Plus, you can rip to OGG, MP3, whatever.
Oh, this is true. I use an EV67 for my research and the thing puts XPs to shame. Once, I opened it right after shutdown and the sheer heat coming of the proc was amazing.
I have my own bedtime stories: Szabo and Ostlund's Modern Quantum Chemistry. Sure, it's not that modern anymore, but it's still a vital read. Plus, it's a Dover Classic, the godsend of all physics/chemistry students. Half my shelves seem to be Dover Classics.
Not quite what you want but look at this page. It compares many a chipset in re Gaussian 98. The benchmarks are in minutes so they are quite meaningful.
Is this me talking? I am the exact way...except backwards. I swear by Galeon at work (and would give my left everything for a Windows version...ha!).
At home, my XP box has IE for Windows Update and that's it. In fact, I find now that Java runs much better under Mozilla, and only a few movie formats aren't better in Mozilla.
I know, I thought once mozilla-announce appeared in my mailbox, the server would already be/.'ed. But, I got the 7.x RPMs and the Windows build in a matter of seconds.
My guess is 4 channels are RAID. So you could have 8 drives in a RAID setup. The other two channels are normal IDE for CD/DVD drives, Zip, etc.
If you look at the pics, it looks like 4 RAID ports and 2 normal IDE ports.
There are some benches on *NIX flavors here:

They aren't the most recent, but they effectively show that for us theoretical chemists, nothing beats P4+RDRAM+ifc for Gaussian98 (the timings are in minutes, not the sad seconds on most sites). Of course, more processors help, but the benchmarks looked at single chip+motherboard.
Actually, I'm betting they have the logo only on the black tray inside the package. CD-Rs carry the "Compact Disc Recordable" logo. But, I think every manufacturer uses the black trays with the CDDA logo. Must be made in the quadzillions so they figure no harm on inside packaging.
Have you tried Galeon yet?
I use it exclusively on Linux and would sell my soul for a Windows version. It takes much of the overhead from Mozilla out yet keeps the great rendering engine.
Just wondering since Philips did complain
that this sort of copy protection that fails to work on some systems violates Red Book. Thus, can these discs carry the Compact Disc logo?
Don't know if your trolling or not, but no. I run Gnome+Nautilus on a RH7.2 box with dual PIII-550. It flies. Of course, a modern P4 or XP make this box a tortoise.

Ladies and Germs, we have a winner. The first to post this joke is Mr. RocketJeff. Don Pardo, tell him what he's won!
Internet2, then? Does Fed-Ex or UPS Overnights equal it? How many DVDs would you need to ship to equal optimal performance on Abilene?
Kinda sad I'm thinking about this...

Intel and Microsoft announced the CDS Road Map.

Actually, not quite. How a bill becomes law in the House and Senate is not that simple. Read these and have fun.

C'mon Galeon developers! Release your 1.0-compatible program. It makes Mozilla the perfect browser.
And, to the Mozilla team, congratulations. I never thought I'd see this day...and yet here it is.

Whee! The fine folks of Lavasoft have shot their own volley, releasing a new Reference file, 108-23-04-02, that targets Radlight.
Slovak Republic...your move.

Sorry about the topic change, but /. has been doing funky things for me recently.
