Having used both, here is what I do not understand. Why not have an editor which edits text like emacs, and when you hit escape, enters a command mode like vi ? Has this been done ? It would seem like a good idea.

I think cheap clusters will be old news in a year or two. IBM's Blue Gene designs are so space efficient, I think they will shift the whole market in that direction.
Why do people always mod up bland and unoriginal humor. Honestly. I have to post shit like this from time to time so that my user page doesn't make me look like a troll. If you want to see something funny that I posted, read this guy's comment and then find my reply.
Hey I own one of those Apple quality products, specifically an iBook. Yes it is great, but give me a break. Like some jackass is going to run Office or Photoshop on a cluster. Jeez.
Bah. At the end of the day, scientists actually want to compile a program and run it, without having to worry about some wacky experimental CPU architecture. Granted, some problems require innovative designs, but if the majority of your problems just require a room full of pentiums, well, whatever.
I used to think the same way, but when I actually started watching CBC television my opinion changed dramatically. I lived with no cable for 3 years, and I found CBC to be better than Global, CTV, VI, and KVOS (Seattle) on average. Maybe you expect it to good all the time ? TV is mostly crap! The CBC is just a little less crap.
Here are my suggestions for good programs on CBC Television: The Nature of Things (with David Suzuki) Da Vinci's Inquest The National (news broadcast) Just For Laughs Gags (hidden camera) The Fifth Estate (current affairs) The Passionate Eye (investigative journalism) ZeD (this is fucking whacked) The Simpsons (dependable, predictable entertainment)
And for kids they actually show something half intelligent, instead of the Toys R' Us Chocobot Candy hour advertising blast. Try Arthur, Cyberchase, Zoboomafoo, and Mr. Dressup for starters, and maybe your preschooler will stop twitching.
And on Saturday night they show two movies, a blockbuster movie and a classic movie. Pretty damn good.
The real argument is for or against having a national broadcaster. I think it is important for Canada and worth the cost. If we were a smaller country (geographically) I would probably reassess my opinion.
People in Canada always harp on the CBC because it receives public funding, but it really is the best news organization in the country and to top it off they actually innovate. They had a decent website back in 1998 (the earliest Wayback is from '99). They stream CBC radio and all of their TV news broadcasts for free, in multiple codecs. And if you want local news that isn't about a dog or a whale they might be your only option. Bravo CBC. They can take it from my cold, dead hands.

Does it matter ? You can trust Americans not to find either on a map.

9. You can uninstall it if you don't want it.
10. It's not from Microsoft.

I hear he'll give you TEN MILLION US DOLLARS if you help him get early parole.
Hey, if I'm going to troll or flamebait someone - at least I'll do it with my real name. Oh, wait...

I hear the latest upgrade actually sucks Steve Jobs' cock for you.
Virginia Tech: We got da BLING BLING! Yeah, baby!
They simulated the entire earth up until the creation of slashdot. Then everything suddenly ceased.
In a red state ? It's not like there's birth control...
Come on people, this is hysterical.
And it's been a great boon to some people that those scientific apps run well on cheap commodity hardware. Thank you Carmack!

The joke's on you, I'm in Canada.
You never know - he might do it. This time he has popular support.
Maybe it's for the free SexCare.
Radio Free Linux! It's a great one for mental asylums and the like.
Windows - Winamp
MacOS 9 - upgrade
Amiga - buy a new computer
Well, I think AOL tried something like that. A proxy intercepts the audio stream and gives your PC speaker beep commands. It's like, 5x faster!
I had the URL wrong. In 1998 I was reading CBC news at newsworld.cbc.ca. Not bad considering what other news organizations, even technical iones, looked like at the time.
