Impossible to visualize? Yep. Not at all. You merely have to project one of the dimensions down so that you're only considering a 10-dimensional space. Then just project that down so you're only considering a 9-dimensional space. Easy. Then just project that down so you're only considering a 8-dimensional space. Easy. Then just project that down so you're only considering a 7-dimensional space. Easy. Then just project that down so you're only considering a 6-dimensional space. Easy. Then just project that down so you're only considering a 5-dimensional space. Easy. Then just project that down so you're only considering a 4-dimensional space. Easy. Then just project that down so you're only considering a 3-dimensional space. Easy. Then just project that down so you're only considering a 2-dimensional space. Easy.
Then just project that down so you're only considering a 1-dimensional space and you get this -->.
So where's my freakin' Nobel?
Except that a 1-dimensional space is a line. A point is a 0-dimensional space. No Nobel this time, sorry. D'oh!
I've been using the dual head version for about three years and have just bought a triple head stand, along with three brand new 21" screens. Very nice;-)
I have to use a graphical version of a modern programming language on a regular basis
Check out Envox. It's mainly used for programming IVR systems.
It's an absolute dog to use. Things which can be expressed simply (and read simply) in any programming language can take several "blocks" tied together in strange fashions. And all you can see is the type of block, its connections, and the first few letters of its name. To find out specifics (eg variable names etc...) you need to browse through various property pages. Worse, these are also a fixed size and often you have to scroll individual fields to find out what a bit does.
Not that I think this is the best you could do with a graphical environment. It's more of an example of what not to do.
To be fair, they have recently added one long-missing featurereusable subroutines.

SSL's built-in protection from man-in-the-middle attacks only works if you actually bother to read the certificate of the site you are connecting to, which nobody ever does...
There's another trick you can use here... Improvise! Seriously, just skip the step and see what happens or whatever. It might not be important.
When I cook I tend to read three or four recipes then just pick the bits from each one which sound good. Then I normally screw up and have to recover from some emergency but it always (ok, normally) comes out good!
This is by no means unusual. I've been to places where the IT employees did not know which servers do what, how many servers they actually have, or what the passwords are. In a place like that, a missing server may not be noticed for days!
I happen to work for a UK company who run phone sex hotlines, and will almost certainly be providing this kind of porn in the future.
One of my recent projects was a mailorder website which sells a lot of porn. Some poor guy has to scan all the video covers and type up the blurbs to go on the site.
I can confirm that he definitely would pupport to have "had enough porn".
People frequently seem to be more interested in music that is new and current and whatever, but mostly because it has been overproduced. A few months later they couldn't give a shit and are more interested in whatever else is being marketted down their throats.
Computer games are no different. People are encouraged to buy whatever is the latest and greatest. And generally not the kind of thing they will be interested in 12 or even 6 months later.
The fact is I actually prefer the "retro" CDs you buy, where people have decided on their facourite songs from a period of maybe a year or two for a few years ago, rather than whatever people seem to be listening to at a particular time.
And I apply the same to software - you can often buy a few "classic" games on a CD for a few quid (US: read bucks), and they are often classics worth a lot more than anything you could buy new.
Anyway, I had better stop before I start ranting...
Jees', I remember Windows 1 coming out... And installing it on our old IBM with it's 20MB hard drive.
We used to play classics like "Janitor Joe" and some other stuff I can't remember.
Half the games of course came on floppies (not FAT) which you just stuck in your drive and booted from, perfect clones of arcade games like Ms Pacman and Dig-Dug.
I thought cellphones were disposable? I lost or break mine every 2 months or so and my service provider (Orange, in the UK) just send me a new one off the insurance!
I've gone through about 9 since my contract started early 2001...

Surely that's how you learn?
More importantly... does it really require a 160GB hard drive?
Um, why not just buy another hard drive and backup to that?
I know this won't get accepted if I submit it as everything I submit gets rejected.
How sad...
Also the BIG reason I submit this is the mention of the flaw. A SECURITY HOLE THAT HAS BEEN KNOWN FOR TWO YEARS and remains unrepaired..
Unrepaired in what way? In that people haven't patched their systems maybe? From the article...
"...and affects systems that have not installed a patch for that security hole, ..."
So, uh, one would assume there is a patch and it is the users who are at fault, then.
This is by no means unusual. I've been to places where the IT employees did not know which servers do what, how many servers they actually have, or what the passwords are. In a place like that, a missing server may not be noticed for days!
Or where most of them were, presumably ;)
