At least according to the article: "It is fair to say that if Ray observes something with this experiment, he will win the Nobel Prize," says superconductivity expert John M. Goodkind of the University of California at San Diego. "It is probably also fair to say that the chances of his observing something may be close to zero."
Actually there are now a few software engineering courses popping up in universities (not comp. sci. nor electrical engineer) and these graduates will necessarily have to adhere to standard engineering practices. an engineer's hippocratic oath
Reminds me of a picture from Carl Sagan's book Pale Blue Dot. A picture very similar to this one was in there with the text mentioning that the portion of the sky represented was about 1% of the viewable angle of the moon from earth. Now that makes you feel tiny!

Dunno how many of you read it but this is hilarious:
"The best ping story I've ever heard was told to me at a USENIX conference, where a network administrator with an intermittent Ethernet had linked the ping program to his vocoder program, in essence writing:
ping goodhost | sed -e 's/.*/ping/' | vocoder
He wired the vocoder's output into his office stereo and turned up the volume as loud as he could stand. The computer sat there shouting "Ping, ping, ping..." once a second, and he wandered through the building wiggling Ethernet connectors until the sound stopped. And that's how he found the intermittent failure."

Actually XP's activation is only for those who actually *buy* a copy of the OS. The pirated versions turning up on the internet do not require activation and are fully functionnal (i.e. you can even use windowsupdate.com)
How long till we get ST:TNG series on DVD? I mean of course a cheap version, not the 15$ an episode version! Something close to one season per double sided 18GB DVD. By my calc:
If they could put an option to disable those !"/$£@23$ javascript popup windows without disabling javascript. I mean come on just try this site then wait 5 seconds and count how many windows you have to close! Nuts!;-)

Looks like you are going to be stuck with APMFQ (PM^2),
sorry eh.
Can you explain the last two lines and the advantage of doing that instead of what was mentionned in the original post?
Doesn't matter, the variable will be renamed along with the others.

Now I get a gold star right?

I was really getting tired of lugging around all those cellphone wires!
So what's going on with Neverwinter Nights and BG2: Throne of bhaal?
How long till we get ST:TNG series on DVD? I mean of course a cheap version, not the 15$ an episode version! Something close to one season per double sided 18GB DVD. By my calc:
.66hours (40min) runtime = 116.82h
177 episodes * roughly
DVD-18 = 8h of video
116.82h / 8h = 14.6 --> 15 DVD-18
Or even better, one DVD with all the episodes encoded with DivX;-)
One can dream eh?
