Why would you need a graphing calc in a diffyq exam? The questions are always theory-based and you can hardly copy-and-paste a picture of Legendre polynomials when you're asked to solve them from first principles.
One of the great historical black marks against the Electoral System was that, back in Ye Olde Days, slaves didn't have a vote but each negro counted as three-fifths of a white man. This meant that the slave-dense Southern states got an unfair proportion of the representatives.
I've been keeping an eye on DragonFly for a while. It's basic premise is to take several concepts from the still-not-quite-dead-yet AmigaOS, add in some new ideas for good measure, and hack them into the BSD core, all for the simple reason of Just Because. The project leader's a noted ex-Amiga developer, which explains the Amiga influence.
It's kernel is a hybrid monolith/microkernel design, which apparently has the least disadvantages.
Yes. To clarify, they recommend whichever OS is best suited to the task. This is because unlike most slashdotters businesses don't care about Microsoft's dominance/hegemony/whatever, they want the best "solution", which may or may not be Linux.
I've came across about two sites ever that required IE to view, and one of those was Windows Update - as you say, that doesn't stop the zealots going MICRO$$$$$$OFT $UCK$ and toying with their user agent strings "because they have to".
I highly doubt Cray are paying retail prices for these CPUs. I'd imagine they buy them wholesale from AMD directly, and probably a further bulk discount on top of that.
If Crays were built the same was as desktop dual-proc machines, then yes, the multi CPU overhead would cripple it. Fortunately, it's designed completely differently - e.g. they use PowerPC chips to handle almost all of the inter-processor communication.
You can't really compare something that can hold thousands of CPUs to something powered by Abit that can hold two, anyway. It's like comparing apples and a strange bug thing with tentacles.
There's nothing stopping OSS projects buying a fancy pants design from a professional and releasing it under the GPL - if you give a designer (espescially new ones with zero reputation, who'd love to list your app in their portfolio) enough money for a design he'll give you the intellectual property rights in it, and if you choose to release your IP rights under the GPL, there's nothing anyone can do to stop you.
system relies on both sending and receiving servers to validate an email
It's probably only a matter of minutes until someone codes a Thunderbird extension that'll perform the validation client-side if a received email has the signed header. Soon anyone on gmail can rest at ease knowing that some people can verify that their email wasn't spoofed!

Kreysig only cost me £25 in the UK. You Americans get really screwed with textbook prices, although we do pay about twice what you do for a CD.
In the eyes of many pointy-haired IT bosses, Red Hat and Linux are synonyms. They probably think Suse is to Red Hat what OS/2 is to Windows 95.
The UK's Joint Academic Network, JANet, has pretty strict conditions for a connection, including a "no piracy" clause.
Actual number of KaZaA users who stopped when they found this out: negative.

I am putting as much effort into this flame as you put into that first post!

A CPU only needs 0.5% of the heat dissipation this provides? Quiet Beowulf clusters for all!
Ever heard of the Apollo program? Saturn-V?
Yes. To clarify, they recommend whichever OS is best suited to the task. This is because unlike most slashdotters businesses don't care about Microsoft's dominance/hegemony/whatever, they want the best "solution", which may or may not be Linux.
Is this available outside the US yet?
;)
From what I've heard GoogleSMS is awesome and I could've used its "find a pizza shop" function last night
Perhaps he's using an NTSC telly, they don't call it "Never Twice the Same Colour" because of it's awesome quality you know!
Don't forget the Teletubbies!
...and you've still got to housetrain the bastard.
No, it meows when you turn it on then it scratches your face off if you handle it too roughly and manage to ding its hard disk.
I think the "shit all over the carpet" feature is for the next generation.
Whereas Trillian launches the system default browser, and Hotmail renders perfectly in FireFox here.

Yes, but how many IE users are actually Firefox/Opera/whatever users faking their browser ID string so that IE-only sites let them in?

Flippin' middle-agers and their line numbers, back in the days of fortran we had whitespace-sensitive code and we were grateful for what we had!
