Prof's usually require the newest edition of the book, which means that the 13th Edition is no good after one or two semesters.
I am not American, and it's been 15 years since I got out of college, so I don't know what happens, and this is a sincere question: what is the problem if you don't study in the last edition of the book? Won't the professor let you inside his/her class? I remember studying things like Physics and Calculus using very old books -- since everything you study on the first 4 semesters is theory stablished hundreds of years ago, a 5 years old book is as good as a new one. The only thing I can see is that some of the exercises will be different, but I really don't see how this can be a real problem.
And all the pictures are of the type: "This is the front of the box", "This is the right side of the box", "This is the right side of the box, but you can also see the front of the box", "This is the front of the box, but you can also see the right of the box".
I was really hoping that the last picture were of the Spanish Inquisition. But, alas, I was expecting it...
Can't do any better than to refer you to the book. Patents are just proof of who registered first, not who created the invention. Are you sure you don't know any other examples of this?
Indeed she has. But it does not mean that she created it -- there are a lot of patents out there whose author was not the actual inventor. The book I mentioned before has more details, but, essentially, from what could be gathered from her written memories, what she did was say that an enemy would have a lot more problem in deflecting a torpedo if it changed the controlling transmission frequencies -- something she probably listened before from her german husband. The rest of the creation was basically she watching the engineers putting it toghether.
They missed one of my all time favorites Hedy Lamarr. She invented spread spectrum radio.
Sorry to break it for you, but it is very likely a myth. Hedy Lamarr probably did not invented spread spectrum: she was married to Fritz Mandl, owner of Hirtenberger Patronenfabrik, the main producer of arms and ammunitions in Austria, where she was born. In 1937, she fled from her husband and went to Hollywood, where, with George Antheil. Before that, there is evidence that something very simmilar to frequency hoping was discussed in the german factory of Siemens and Halske, probably originated in discussions with Mandl. More information about this can be found in the book "Everything's Relative", from Tony Rothman.
It was Hagar, the Viking (by Dick Browne), as his ship sunk in the ocean. The answer that came from the skies were "Why not?" It's a pity I don't have a link for it.

Yu mispeld "evriun".
No, I think it's more like Episode VI, when Admiral Ackbar says "it's a trap!"
No. But they considered a sufficiently advanced technology.

LAME? MP3 encoding on a C64? Cool!
It's not that. A C64 has less space than a Nomad and no wireless. Thus, lame.
And people never believed when I told them I was brilliant!
If it is so difficult to raise the computers to the level of human intelligence, it is probably impossible to reach the level of human stupidity.

Personally, I want to see the day where two AI's argue on the battlefield...
And then shouting "LeRoy Jenkins!!" and running away to kill enemies.
But that might not be that intelligent...
"That's Whirly, God of Birds!"
"Where, behind the chopper? Quick, take a picture!"
"Can't, my cell phone doesn't have a camera."
The hero will have a sidekick: the Dancing Monkey Boy.
Your post was... (rolls dice) ...funny!
And, if you're in the remaining 2%, people will look at you as if you were (A) a terrorist and/or (B) a scary online predator.
According to this, his charisma is pretty high.
Someone mod all the redundant South Park references appropriately.
Is that what Brian Boitano would do?
And he said, about the meteor: "There can be only one".

Yes. But, then, I usually remember to blink.

Best resource to computer science students wanting to shoot themselves in the foot here.
Everytime I read "SFU", my brain tried to parse it as "STFU"...
I read it "SIFU". It doesn't mean anything in English, but in Brazilian Portuguese (my language), it is an acronym to "you're screwed".
