Actually, i was seriously considering economics but i guess i was suckered into computer engineering cuz i thought i liked it;)
I wanted to double major but now i just want out of school!
maybe i'll go back and do an econ degree... it's always been interesting to me.
Mathematics is constantly being created to describe new (or old!) problems being run into by researchers. More mathematics has been developed in the past 100 years than in the history of mankind, and more continues to be discovered... Anyone with the insight and genius can discover something new (and i certainly do NOT claim to be one of these people). That's the way it's always been and the way it always will be. And at the risk of flaming (it's not intended to be!) you probably shouldn't be allowed to hold a PhD in math unless you truly have some insight that nobody else has.
It all depends on whether you want to kill the people immediately (near future) with the carcinogens produced by coal/diesel/etc or you want to contaminate the land with nuclear waste... Hmmm...
On the plus side, at least it isn't N. Korea donating the plans for the reactor;)
But it has 1100 mice!! more than enough buttons;)
It would be really cool if they hooked up a 24 inch display to each of the machines and put them all on the wall to make one big @$$ wall display... (screw the performance!!)
that the 80% holds as more and more nodes are added. Wouldn't each additional node have to be 100% efficient for this to happen... (ok so let's whip out the math induction and prove this is not possible)
Actually, I'd prefer to keep the federal government out of the affairs of the states.
Say i'm hosting a web site in FL and CA wants to tax someone (as they are prone to do) for accessing my site... There's this new thing called the Constitution of the United States that gives the Congress power to control interstate commerce... which is the case here.
Hypothetically, lets say I have a site hosted in CA then CA should be able to tax CA residents for accessing my site. (according to your theory) However, each state would have to keep a listing of ALL sites inside the respective state and make sure they updated when some site changed host providers.
In addition to the complexity and cost of keeping track of this, the packets from my site may actually be routed through another state before they get to your computer! In order to fully enforce the tax we would have to enforce routing within states.
Then what if i decide to mirror my site in another state!?!?
Hopefully you can see that the internet (within the US) is truly interstate commerce and falls under the jurisdiction of Congress.
What i don't like is the fact that, sure they [Apple] upped the Ghz on the iMac, but they don't have the slower model for less money.
I would buy the slower model (800mhz g4) for less money but Apple doesn't give me the option.
One has to pay the same price whenever they buy the computer from Apple.
I know, I know, profit margins and such:P but it still pisses me off
I don't think 40 cds over a few years constitutes "constant bombardment" much less harassment. You get weekly fliers from, say Safeway or some big grocery store. You'd receive about 52 in a year... go sue them for constant bombardment.
At least the judge would have a laugh...
If you were an unscrupulous weasel, then no, putting that at your bottom of the emails would not make it true. But if you *always* sent your mail pgp, then any mail *not* pgp would not be from you. That is what the poster intended to say IMO.
However, you have a valid point, that, say in some sort of legal setting, you would not be able to prove that the mail wasn't from you.
. Obviously one or several people (editors, management, etc.) that have me in their Outlook address books have become infected and now the worm is spreading from their machines and spoofing my email address as the source. I totally resent this and actually worry about my liability.
The same thing has happened to me.
I have had returned emails to my university account that i hadn't accessed for a few weeks before/after the virus started going around...
I only use webmail and hadn't downloaded anything... too bad i can't find the fellow CS student who double clicked and give him what-for:D
I just started a book recently that postulates in the first chapter that both the former Soviet Union and the United States now practice a similar form of economic control of production that the author terms as 'state capitalism.'
While I don't believe that the US is as extreme as the Soviet Union was, there are definitely elements of it in our economy.
Remember, Lenin said that "First, we will take eastern Europe, then the masses of Asia, then we will encircle the United States which will be the last bastion of capitalism. We will not have to attack. It will fall like an overripe fruit into our hands."
Lenin was a smart SOB. we've been constantly moving towards fulfilling his prediction.
Anyway, sounds like an interesting book, I'll have to check it out, thanks for the info.
This, folks, is called Capitalism. The government is corrupt and controlled by the big corporations.
Capitalism has nothing to do with the government being corrupt. Communist and socialist countries have corrupt governments too...
You have made a logical fallacy of causality.

Switch to economics.

In a crowded space
Like the LA freeways... that would be kind of cool...
Hey buddy, you insulting my micro-wave?
Nah, I'm sure to cook dinner every night he starts a fire by rubbing sticks together
yeah you're right. my fingers type faster than my brain moves... :D

and the philosophy of the people on the Nebuchadnessar is that of disrespect towards authority.
And disrespect for authority has got humans everywhere so much... anarchy.
Hmm... I wonder if they'd take a cheque...
Hey if you got that kind of money to throw around, try to get a two for one deal and hook me up! hehheh
We do not believe that Linux plays a role on the server. Period. If you want to buy it, we will sell it to you
So basically, we hold to our convictions unless we can make some dough!
There's the first ten from A, so you'll need to be quick if you want one...
.com domains have been registered already... and by simple logic, all the ?TX names would be taken too.
I think all 3 letter
You can say fucked. We're all adults. Well, most of us are. The rest probably are old enough to hear/say it anyways.
Yup just go to an elementary school.
If you mod this as funny, you don't live on this planet.

an electronics bug can cause a plane to fall from the sky, then the electronics have way too much control over the flaps
Like perhaps an F117 which can't fly without computers?
We've got the No. 1 64-bit computing architecture out there. Is SPARC the #1 computing architecture? Let us review the matter
Yes let's review the matter and remember that x86 arch is not 64 bit except for Itanium and I'm sure SPARC has way more market share than the Itanic.
If they were really serious about the 'switch' campaign, you would think they would make it more affordable to own a Mac.
:D It just cost both arms and a leg.
I think the apple zealot mods may think i'm anti-apple, but i do own a g4 powerbook which i love

Honestly, if MS released a brand new operating system that looked identicle to XP, but was just ultra secure and ultra stable, would it sell?
:D
I thought that operating system WAS xp.
they keep trying though
Why blame the President
The president signed the law (in this case, clinton and the dmca)
Even if the President had vetoed the bill, the Congress would have easily overridden the veto
So the President should be able to get off the hook because "everyone's doing it" and doesn't need to take a stand for something?
