In the omnibus edition I recently purchased, there is a foreword that mentions that this is how Lewis wanted them to be ordered.
I quote:
Although The Magician's Newphew was written several years after C.S. Lewis first began The Chronicles of Narnia, he wanted it to be read as the first book in the series. HarperCollins is happy to present these books in the order in which Professor Lewis preferred.

For many years, scientists have conducted studies to determine whether the stem cells in adult tissue have the same developmental capability as embryonic stem cells. The general consensus is that adult stem cells seem to be less versatile. Scientists think that embryonic stem cells have a much greater utility and potential than the adult stem cells, because embryonic stem cells may develop into virtually every type of cell in the human body. Adult stem cells, on the other hand, may only be able to develop into a limited number of cell types. Embryonic stem cells also continue to divide indefinitely when placed in culture, while this may not be the case for adult stem cells and this would reduce their capacity to form new cell types. Both adult and embryonic stem cell research should continue simultaneously as they are both critical to our understanding of the etiology, progression and treatment of disease.
While this page is rather neutral between the two, the difference is actually pretty substantial. Especially in regards to their ability to change type, and in their ability to divide indefinately. It has not been shown that adult stem cells do this.
The pain I had getting SMB to perform acceptably under 10.2 nearly put me off OS X. Basically, the way that 10.2 handled mounting network filesystems really sucked. It was unreliable and often left the system hanging with a spinning beachball (the Mac equivalent of an egg timer). Often, powering off was the only solution.
This is really common, even in 10.3, and it REALLY pisses me off.
How did he get the before photo? I don't know about you, but I don't go around taking screenshots of my desktop randomly... Did he start with the assumption that HP is evil and would therefore delete his comment and thus need the evidence?
Are you even reading my explaination or are you just repeating crap you heard in science class?
As I have said, If you were to put an emitter and a detector on either side of glass, light would SEEM to travel less than C.
"In a sense, any light travelling through a medium other than a vacuum travels below c as a result of refraction." -- WikiPedia
So the light is preceived to go slower because the path it must take in a material is longer than a straight line. IT has to travel FARTHER. If I have to walk 10 miles to finish a race while a straight line between the two points was 5, and you measure my average speed against the 5 mile straight line, then you will think i've actually ran half as fast as I really did. THIS is what's happening here.
My only experience with emerge actually BREAKING was that portage's database of what was installed became corrupt and I had to rebuild it. (But this has happened to me on debian once before also.) The issue I was having was that the packages that were being chosen were causing problems. As in, nobody checked very well to see how they functioned before they were put into the main distro.
I did like alto of stuff about gentoo though. Such as their init scripts, and also the etc-update program. Those were handy. etc-update was kind of clumsy to begin with when you wanted to see diffs of the files. I eventually modified it so it would display them side-by-side in emacs.
Just want to thank you for posting rational ID arguements on slashdot. These are some arguments I have come up with myself, such as programmer/god and code reuse. I tried to explain this to an evolutionist and they completely ignored the idea of code-reuse. It seems many times evolutionists are "religious" about their viewpoint. Any time I point out logical flaws in evolutionary theory to most undergraduates here, they show they don't actually have a good idea of what the theory is, nor are they capable of discussing it rationally. Usually they get extremely pissed off. I also than you for your arguments AGAINST the possibility of evolutionism ( there are many ). Such as: as you said "almost all of which decrease genetic information, by the way"
I cancelled my Meetup account that very day. I removed my meetup group. It was like pulling teeth to get people to sign up for it anyways. Now I just maintain my own mailing list, and it's much easier anyways.
An IP is 4 bytes in network byte order. 1 million of those would be 4 million bytes: 4 x 10^6.
That's approximately 3906 kilobytes or about 4 megabytes. I dunno, but most torrents don't have 1 million peers.
Since you're taking on a condescending tone, I might as well take on a sarcastic one with you.
If light really slows down in glass as you propose, what speeds it back up when it comes out of the glass? Answer: NOTHING, because it DOESN'T SLOW DOWN. The light bounces back and forth in glass, however it does this in the general direction it was going in the first place. The light actually has to go farther to get through the glass. This is an oversimplification. But so is saying light travels slower through glass.
That's due to repeated absorption and emission of the light. Light still is travelling at C when it's actually moving. As I pointed out in my original post. The light gets "tangled up" in Bose-Einstein condensates.
When I used gentoo several about 2 years ago that didn't exist. It's news to me. I'm glad they added it. However, I still think emerge is horrible. Stuff was always breaking on my system. Even Debian unstable isn't as bad as standard gentoo.
To answer your question, linear algebra is highly parallelizable. 3d Graphics is well suited for this. Whether their API handles it well is up to them.
For example Real Time Ray Tracing could be done on the cell in no time flat. It would extremely change the realism of games. You could trace each ray in parallel
For current game engies, polys could be transformed and lit in parallel instead of individually. Etc.
Different processors for different needs. Most desktop calculations don't require high precision as other articles in the past have noted (about using bad processors) Another article was about using approximation to attain results extremely fast.
I fully agree with you that different processors should be used for different things. But Doom 3 doesn't require high precision floating point to render those graphics.
I've heard repeatedly from greedy people which I know who already have a million bucks that the economy should be Laissez Faire. Of course they don't know it is called that, but that is what they propose. It pisses me off every time. When I explain to them that we've TRIED that and it DIDN'T work they get upity. The funniest part of it all: If you have 1 million dollars only, you're small potatos. Your fortune will get gobbled up by the big guys in a Laissez Faire economy like nothing at all.
Light has never been slowed down below C. What these experiments mean that the total time it took the light to get from point A to point B was longer. What takes place is absorption and re-emmision of the photon by the electrons in the medium. There is always "vacuum" in the inbetween spaces of the medium. If you have any questions, reply to this and I'll do my best to check back later and answer them.
You should read the first couple books of the republic. Where the myopic apponents of "Socrates" (Don't confuse this with the real one, this is all Plato's work.) argue that good is being able to be completely bad while fooling everyone into thinking you're good. Very interesting read, to see that people 2300 years ago were just as screwed up! Philosophy has taught us nothing.
Yes, I can see it now - entire industries undoing their time-tested, battle hardend PDF-based workflows with free and open files all for the chance to use patented, pay-for-use Microsoft proprietary workflows, software, and files. Good luck with that, guys."
They've fooled everyone before...
OH.. I personally don't want some shitty bloated XML document running around my harddrive. Zip compressing them defeats the purpose if you're going to edit them that way.
I once converted a binary format database into an XML format. It was originally 233kB, and bloated up to about 1.4mB. Maybe I should have used shorter tags, but they were already only 3 letters long. I find it to be pathetic when the overhead information for a type of file vastly outnumbers the CONTENT.
That's because what you're talking about isn't computer SCIENCE. It's Computer Applications. Many colleges offer a degree in Computer and Information Applications, as well as Computer and Information Sciences.
Since when do you get a degree in electrical engineering so you can go be a VCR/Radio Repairman? Likewise you don't get a degree in computer SCIENCE to fix whatever Microsoft came out with last year. You instead attend confrences for a couple weekends to learn all about Windows 2003. When Windows 2004 comes out, you do it again.

Gentoo has a nice system for init dependencies. However, they don't start independant services in parallel like they should..=/
Because we all know eminem is broke....
