Google's stock is bubbling and it's going to plummet sometime soon. If I had the means I'd buy a load of shares and some put options so I could sell those things short.
It makes financial sense to let people do what they want with the machines. They still have to give Apple money for them, and the only way they can get OS X is to give Apple even more money - this is despite buying an Apple computer to run anything other than OS X being akin to buying an SUV for the cup holders. I think 95% of people will run OS X on Apple's x86 computers, so it's a bit of a non-issue, really.
espescially in safe mode. Only ones it doesn't remove are the truly insidious things that embed themselves into the Windows startup chain, such as that sod that tells the registry to run asdfasdf.exe instead of winlogon.exe.
I prefer Maple to Mathematica - it's not as quick as Mathematica, but it seems to cope better with really horrible integrals and differential equations. This is just my experience, but most maths PhDs and professors I know prefer Maple too.
I'm not really too keen on Matlab. It's symbolic capabilities are too weak for my needs and I find it easier to prototype numerical things (as well as visualise the final data) in IDL.
This is Glasgow. The parts of it they are talking about are the most deprived regions in Scotland and probably rank amongst the most deprived regions outside the Third World. Light beer won't work as the dobbers are already on 15% "tonic wine" and have impregnated someone by the time they're sixteen.
This is just the first step. Giving kids status symbols for not being fat-guzzling, booze-swilling louts will do more for the crime figures and life expectancy than any amount of "zero tolerance".
Also, scientific (and other "technical") graphics cards aim to render images perfectly, instead of "as fast as possible with some unoticeable-at-1000fps glitches" as with consumer cards. High-end cards can cost tens of thousands, and are mostly useless for gaming.
Oracle are using open-source to accelerate the development of a calendar client. It says nothing about the calendar server, and, as Oracle's target is presumably to create a competitor to the expensive Exchange rather than the relatively cheap Outlook, the server's what they'll keep in-house.
Warp's releases are the only ones I buy, because - and this is very important - they are free of DRM! I must have given them the best part of a hundred quid and as I can do what I like with the files I don't care.
I'm actually very unlikely to share those files deliberately too. Something about paying for an mp3 as opposed to getting it for "free" by ripping a CD makes me protective.
I use Mandrake as I know how it works. Yeah it castigates me as a clueless newbie, despite cutting my teeth on Yggdrasil, but I've got more important things to do that worry about what level of optimisations my glibc was built with, or how the package manager works. I grew out of that several years ago.
SQL Slammer worked by infecting computers over ports that barely need to be open to the immediate local network, let alone open to some guy in a Belgian basement. The port exploited was used to tell prospective SQL clients where to connect for their SQL needs, which if needed to be done remotely should've been done so over VPN.
In this case, boneheaded admins should've received the mother of all wakeup calls.
Microsoft including a "Search the Web" link on the desktop of Windows 2010 won't hurt Google that much; in this day and age of spyware and browser hijackers people assosciate "Search the Web" links on the desktop with popups and helpful ActiveX dialogs.
The only way Microsoft could cripple Google would be to hijack all requests for www.google.???, which is surely too outright an abuse of monopoly power for MS to survive the reprocussions.
Maybe the fruits of the competition between the "Baby Bills" would be worth Google's demise, however...

Come on, this is no place for small talk.

Is this the first tripe article ever!
The HTML may be valid but the CSS is slightly broken.
doubtless on the same hub as his mouse too.

Oh come on. Real leeter-than-thou people wouldn't dream of using anything that runs on x86.
They don't use Maple to do their research, they use it to evaluate expressions they don't want to spend all afternoon evaluating manually.

Er, if you actually read it you'll see their definition is correct, as they tell you to strike "any one of the keys on the keyboard".
According to your sig, that's all that's worked in that time.

I doubt the judge understood your post.
He's not alone neither...

There's more to making a cluster computer than wiring a load of Dells together with Cat-5, you know.
They're studying for an academic quaification; expecting them to use a public computer lab isn't really too much.
I dunno, the ratio of good to bad is about 2:1 so far. Most people seemed to like it.
You can also watch Fox News on Sky somewhere (channel 524-ish). If that's "Fair and Balanced" then I'm a banana.
Sky News may be from the gutter but at least they don't get done for lying, unlike Fox News.
