Hopefully the switch means increased popularity which will lead to more support from venders. I'm an engineering student (ece) so i don't usually deal with cad and solid works but i deal with other stuff like spice and vhdl. Luckily eagle comes for os x.
Biggest complaint though is that most software that is "ported" uses X11. It's quite nasty.
No, webct blows donkeys for bus fare. I've used it for my classes @ SFU. I really really hate it. Such a pain in the ass to navigate not to mention the shitty implementation.
If a doctor screws up somebody dies. If an engineer screws up lots of people die. If a lawyer screws up bad news for the victim (or the defendee). If a web browser has a security flaw people may lose some money but nobody dies and it's easily preventable like you said.
I'm in 4th year engineering. Those of us who make it this far (massive attrition rate) have to be pretty smart, hard working, and full of energy. Not to mention that it's a 5 year program in many places. We all realize that some day unless we get into management or business we'll be busting our asses yet earning less than our potential elsewhere. It would be so much easier to become an mba or lawyer and get the big $$$. We're not in it for the money though but i'm fed up of people abusing that and having us work in high tech sweat shops.
About the only thing wrong with physical text books is the missing ctrl-f feature. Index works all right though. I've used a few of these so-called ebooks for university and these online and cd-rom features and it's all useless. I like my physical text book. Nothing beats it.
Hydrogen bombs have yields around the 10 Megaton range. The russians even tested a 54 Megaton bomb. Third degree burns at over 100 km. Blast damage over 1000km away. It's all in wikipedia.:D
Doesn't it make more sense to have content seperate from presentation when preparing articles for journals. Surely they must do some editing and layout changes and stuff. latex does a pretty damn good job or being "generic" unless you use non-standnard templates or whatnot. I sure as hell don't like spending hours laying things out then to have it all in the first place yet have it be "re-processed" later on. What confuses me more is so many scientists and engineers use latex in the first place. I see authors use it lots too.
Games by a long Shot! Grew up with nintendo, C64, arcades, and the super nintendo. Games were immersive, cheap, and very entertaining. I could play them for a couple of minutes or for hours. Graphics stunk compared to today's standards but they were extremely well polished which is all that really counts.
Smaller programs especially that we use in engineering become obsolete on a daily basis it seems. A lot of electrical/computer engineering programs especially for devices or programming these devices. Often these companies get bought out or lost forever. Then there's all the cad and simulation software. I can't even think of it all but i've come across a lot of essentially unusable stuff as a result.
Seriously, if this is being backported to XP then what will be the difference between XP and Vista? Afaik all the avalon and.net libraries are being backported. All i can think of is a glass looking interface, some toolbars and a bunch of wizards?
It's easy! Just set him up a hotmail account. Soon enough he'll be hitting all the sites, buying and selling like a pro, and he'll even get an early start on the teachers thanks to all natural herbs. When it comes to school, you can never hold a child back!
My solution would involve replacing nbc, cbs, fox,.... and all those crummy networks with space, discovery, outdoor life, history, or whatever else that actually has substance. This mindless cliche crap is ruining a whole generation and if the people don't like it and watch less TV even better!
Secondly, make MBA's difficult to obtain once again (no degree in exchange for money anymore!!!) and put a cap on the number of lawyers being graduated.
Thirdly pay scientists and engineers what they deserve! Little pay and lots of overtime isn't very atractive. It's no joke that some businessmen keep us locked up in the basement while they make millions.
Almost 40% of surfers delete them on a monthly basis, says Jupiter Research -- a fact one marketers attributes to incorrect associations with spyware and privacy invasion.
We really want to track where you've been but IT'S not spyware or privacy invasion. Really!

I use it for mac as well for videos of all kinds (but the os x dvd player is excellent).
I also love to use ogle for linux to watch dvd's.

Heh, you might be interrested in integral transforms such as the laplace transform.

Is a killer-app like HL3 enough to sway you to choose a system?"
:P)
What use is a game console without any games!?!? (and this is coming from a mac user
This fight is for people who aren't technical and are in the US.
You expected nerds to be popular???

The only problem is that no one knows how its supposed to work.
