It seems to me that everyone has a different idea of where everything goes...
Does that go in/usr/bin or/usr/local/bin?/opt? maybe/usr/local/sbin.... or/usr/sbin....
Now, I know that in particular, these directories all have different meanings...but still. Maybe the OSX style 'Applications' folder is a sweet idea, which has symlinks of every binary in it from all of those directories...leave the originals alone for compatibility and ease of setting permissions to a group of files at once...isn't there a distro that does something like this already?
Before the final version is released, nothing is final. Why waste your time working on something only to have an API change with RC2?
If I was writing software for Vista, I'd wait until release, too. I don't owe Microsoft any free beta testing, and it's not like a company that doesn't support Vista right now is going to go out of business for lack of users...most people will still be on XP for quite a while...
My university uses Peoplesoft, and it sucks. I can't say one good thing about it.
Then again, this is from a Student's perspective, it's not like I'm administering it or anything...
Hey, apparently this is my bad. I never posted that comment above, I just woke up and found that posted in my name. I'm a university student, maybe I accidently left my slashdot account logged in on a lab computer. I apologize for the personal attack, I didn't post what's written above.

Its irrefutable that you're just dumb. Think about it man, if we don't have the facts thats even MORE of a reason to take steps to prevent it. We don't want to be caught with our pants down, and unfortunately (minus the tards like you) I think its too late.
Our lives, and the lives of our children and grandchildren are not something to mess with, they're not something to say "We don't know for sure so we shouldn't care" about.
In any case, most people as ignorant as you are stubborn too, so I say we sacrifice the nay sayers to the heat gods and hope they're appeased.
Microsoft is lagging at supporting web 2.0 technologies, but by about now, they have decent support for Web 1.0 ones.
So basically, we just keep releasing new Webs and Microsoft should only be a version or two behind. Want Microsoft to support Web 2.0 nicely? Just tell them that we're releasing web 6.0, and upper management will give the command that it's okay to support 2.0.

When you buy a Mac, you're not just buying a computer. You're buying an experience.
When you lay down the cash for that shiny new MacBook, you're not just paying for the hardware. You're not just paying for the OS. You're paying for it to Just Work (tm).
Apple has quite the reputation to live up to in the Just Works department. Even if they released a 'generic x86 OSX' with the disclaimer of 'don't expect it to work at all,' people would still expect it to. Apple would still get bad press over it. That's not what they want.
In addition to the computer science requirements, three courses (11-12 credits) in mathematics are required. This includes a two-semester calculus sequence (MATH 0220 and MATH 0230), and a probability and statistics course (STAT 1000, STAT 1100 or STAT 1180). These courses provide a level of mathematical maturity that is essential to the study of computer science.
There you have it, straight from the requirements website. Now, some of the stuff you mentioned IS covered. Discrete math is covered in a 'discrete math for cs' course, and vector stuff is covered in calc II...but yeah, skimpy on the math.
We have a company that handles all of our tech stuff for us. By tech stuff I mean the national call center that sends the orders to the store over the internet via VPN, and all of that good stuff. It's all running on Red Hat, and we pay them to help us train new people, set up new systems, and fix things when they break.
I don't know if that works for you, but it's one way that Open Source software is being used.
Different things have different importance to different people.
You're also ignoring some sitations. Maybe Candiate A and Candidate B both support 3 issues I care about and are against 3. One holds my stance on games, the other doesn't...guess who wins my vote?
That reminds me it's funny how the linux kernel stuff can be openly discussed and viewed online, and modifications shared, even before clicking "accept" on the GPL.
Allow me to reveal why this makes sense.
The GPL isn't a EULA...it's the terms of redistribution of copyrighted material. There's no need to 'click' at all, ever. The GPL only comes into play when you wish to redistribute modified versions of GPL'd software. Then you must abide by the terms, because those are the terms that the author of the code has set.
Terrible analogy time: Imagine your mom makes you some cookies. You find a sign by the jar telling you that you're allowed to eat as many of them as you want, but you're only allowed to give some of them to your close friends. You don't need to ask if it's okay to give them away, she's left you a message telling you you can. You also eat as many as you want without asking, because she's said you can.
For instance, we have a time period called Ancient History, the Dark Ages, the Renaissance, and then Modern Times. Some people would argue that we're in a new time period different from the rest of the Modern Time, hence post-modern.
That was the worst explanation ever. The key is that 'modern' != contemporary.

One might even say that some people think that P2P affects sales, while other people think it effects sales.
I agree, killing tons of boars in the woods would be no fun to watch.

In fact, isn't that UT's whole deal? Reality show as deathmatch, like a modern day Roman coliseum?

I don't know how big the market is, but I'd watch stuff like this. It would be nice if you could watch some pros and learn from how they play.
Like we believe you.

I'm a CS student at the University of Pittsburgh and we don't have to take DiffEQ. Just Calc I and II, along with a Calc-based statistics course.
