For those of you who don't know, this consists of six modules containing fairly advanced calculus, geometry, vectors, mechanics, statistics and more. Many of those on my course took Further Mathematics too - essentially another six, harder modules (or three if you only take it for one year).
It was four modules back in my day. Ahh, yes, P1-4 and M1-4 (applied mathematics: classical mechanics) and trying hard not to be pressured into doing Stats... Then they switched to the six module structure.
OK, cue the old codger who did it all in one ruddy great exam at the end.
Back in the pre-NT-based days, perhaps. Most modern operating system kernels issue the HLT instruction plus some extra power management jiggery-pokery to the CPU when it's not being used at max anyway. (Check out/proc/acpi/processor/CPU*/power under Linux.)
lets get real people. Cellphones are a politicians and media Buzz word
That's right! Despite the fact that people in the Western world are living longer and healthier lives than ever before, those "bastard" mobiles are still perceived as a threat.
I'd think bees have killed far more people than mobile phones ever have.
Hello, Lone-Crusader-In-A-Dangerous-World! It looks like you're trying to champion the cause of the innocent, the helpless, and the powerless in a world of criminals who operate above the law. Would you like me to:
Blockade the bad guys?
Tell you remember your seat-belt?
Track down the bad guy with my hypersonic moustache-sensor?
Do a trick?
Ten years later, we have KITSTA:
The operation "Emergency Stop" requires extra privileges. Cancel, Allow?
1. get rid of the crown. It's long over due. Join the post-medieval world.
It's time the Crown exercised what little power it does have left and put a stop to this despotic nonsense and defended the freedom of its subjects. British Citizens still enjoy the Protection of the Crown. Show some spine, Lizzy!
2. GET A CONSTITUTION.
Hell, no! And allow them to codify more restrictions? Allow the likes of John Reid to have a say in a British Constitution? You must be fucking crazy!

Steve Jobs: The only problem with Microsoft is they just have no taste, they have absolutely no taste, and what that means is -- I don't mean that in a small way I mean that in a big way.
Yeah, and? Where's the embarrassment?
I have a problem with the fact that they just make really third rate products.
And for those of us who already sign our e-mails and publish a public key, why doesn't PayPal simply distribute its public key block on its web-site, using HTTPS so that its integrity is maintained?

It's defined as the angle between their direction vectors.
What's funny is that someone who goes to all that trouble just to print "QUACK, MOTHER FUCKER!" to stdout cannot spell "Turing" correctly.

Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of waiting for Clocky to go off and then watching the motherfucker drown itself...
What happens if I put one of those next to my bedside table?
Just what we need, eh? A blocked Series of Boob-Tubes.
Neither can I, and I'm fucking proud of it.
This is Slashdot. The only thing to be embarrassed about here is poor spelling.

Have you ever seen... seen Airplane!?
Well, if you're in certain parts of China this shouldn't be a problem (e.g., try a "specialty" restaurant).
Mind you, if you're the kind that likes to eat things that have been boiled alive, you should be ashamed of yourself, you bastard.

So what? There are viruses out there for the HP 48. Make something flexible enough, and someone will distort it.

"Potentially embarrassing"? Er, how? From TFA:
Yeah, and? Where's the embarrassment?
By the way, does anyone know what time it is?
Now this is what I'd call a Russian Reversal.

That would be the product of two large primes.
No, pardon me. You were right...
It better be fucking bulletproof at that price, too. The "one million dollar laptop" — what does it do, go "nanah-nanah-nanah" when you lift the lid?
Woo-hoo! By using Free Software, I no longer have to feel guilty about my jet-set theorist lifestyle!
