You gotta want it bad, 'cause it's gonna put up a fight. It's gonna say, "You want free speech? Let's see you acknowledge a man whose words make your blood boil, who's standing center stage and advocating, at the top of his lungs, that which you would spend a lifetime opposing at the top of yours. You want to claim this land as the land of the free, then the symbol of your country can't just be a flag; the symbol also has to be one of its citizens exercising his right to burn that flag in protest." Show me that, defend that, celebrate that in your classrooms. Then you can stand up and sing about the land of the free.

My main PC until last week was a 550Mhz P3 Xeon, with a SCSI subsystem and a Visualize FX graphics card. Now, the lease being up on my old system, I have a 2 Ghz P4 with an IDE drive and a $300 nVidia card.
Ok, I get your whole point, but here you're comparing lamborghini to nissan. The HP Visualize FX (btw, which one ? the FX4, or the FX8 ?) is a completely different card than a $300 nvidia (which I guess is a GF4 Ti4400 or a 4600). You should compare it to a nvidia quadro, maybe. It's not really fair to compare a high end, cad-dedicated (well, almost) card to a low end gamers one...:-)

Do I contradict myself ?
Very well, then I contradict myself,
I am large, I contain multitudes.
Sure the G4 architecture is probably much better than the P4's...
The problem is the cost. The PA-RISC has a great architecture, and a great performance/clock ratio, so has the Alpha. The problem is that both these chips are damn expensive. The same holds true for the G4. Don't underestimate the cost factor. I'd really like to have a mac, I love the G4, but it's way too high a price/performance ratio.
So, animals don't have rights. good. so you don't have, either, being you an animal. Or maybe you think you're a vegetable ?!?!?

A man who doesn't have the courage to express his ideas doesn't deserve to be called a man....
Oh, and, btw, I won't answer any other "anonymous coward" post, if you want to express your ideas, do it as a man.
So the WWF is composed only of stubborn bigots, right ?
Well, in this case, I'm happy to see there are so many stubborn bigots...
(On a side note, I don't particularly like Greenpeace methods, too. I consider them stupid morons. I just named them because a lot of ppl knows them, much more than the AAVS)
On a side note.... "troll" ?!?!
Ok, so I guess you consider wwf, aavs, greenpeace and such, trollers ?
Alright, now I start to understand what kind of people usually read/.... good...
Hey moron, read again my post (if you are able to, obviously), I said "animals", what would you say should they use your nice dog to experiment with ?
Put your head out of your ass and start thinking...

Now, just a simple question to you all.
What would you say if someone would be putting electrodes in YOUR brains (provided you have one, obviously) ?
Animal vivisection should be prohibited, always. If you want to experiment with brains and such, why don't you use rapists or other death row prisoners ?
Animals are living beings, as such they have rights.
You all should start thinking about this.
Hrm, seems to me that you're looking forward to a "mix" of programming and software engineering.
Anyway, there are a couple of books you should take a look at :
"Software Engineering" 6th ed. - Ian Sommerville
Addison-Wesley, 2001
"Introduction to Automata Theory, Languages, and Computation" 2nd ed. - John Hopcroft, Rajeev Motwani and Jeffrey D. Ullman
Addison-Wesley, 2001
They're both really good.
The second one is used at Stanford for CS154 (Automata and Language Theory).
The first one even has a web page (http://www.software-engin.com/) with source code for most of the examples, additional material, and even slides (in pdf and ppt) for each chapter that you can use as a teaching aid.
Hope you find these interesting.

Btw, quick question... are you an ATI employee ?;)
Chill down, it's way better for your heart...
I just looked at the RPMs in Skipjack. Seems like you decided not to include enlightenment (0.16) in the next release. Now, that's kinda disappointing. I know for sure there are still a lot of ppl still using it.

Animals *do* have rights, should you be able to read, here's a link for you to check out :
Before speaking, you should check your knowledge on the matter

Well, they have, but no more than other animals. In fact, they have way less, imho.
