Makes one wonder how objective micro$oft really is.
Inorder to do anything useful with 3D graphics, you will definitely need knowledge of linear algebra. Whats important for CS students is the application only, but understanding the theory is always a definite plus. Also, an aptitude for physics is also very important inorder to simulate reality. You may want to check out 3D Math Primer for Graphics and Game Development by Fletcher Dunn.
if you're looking for a deal when it comes to textbooks, addall.com is pretty good. For example, Americans and Canadians can save quite a lot of money by purchasing their new school textbooks from the UK, even with the shipping added. However, that's not always true: some books are cheaper in North America than the UK, so be sure you compare before you buy.
As an example, I had to buy "Partial Differential Equations and BVP" by Asmar for my class. Using the site, I see that Amazon UK is selling it for 110.94, Indigo.ca for 134.95 while the Internet Bookshop is selling it for 104.28 amongst others. These prices always fluctuate due to exchange rate irregularities.
You can also search for not in print and rare used books as well.
damn, I was hoping we'd at least have an image of the finished product.
btw, I'm already working on installing Linux on a dead moose, since there aren't many badgers up north in Canada (at least where I live).
shit, I can't believe I wasted 10 minutes watching that damn thing. I viewed it for 2 minutes, thinking something cool would happen in the end, but then realized the shit was just looping over and over again.
If you search "windows sucks" on msn india, you get "www.linuxsucks.com" as the top link with the description "Linux Web page offering a wide range of information on the operating system including comparisons between Linux and Windows NT."
No, it doesn't. It first bombs a country (using bogus evidence to support their claims), kills thousands of civilians in the process, destroys millions of $'s worth of buildings, landmarks, etc. and then sits in the bargaining table. This is not (what you are referring to) direct stealing; it's indirect stealing but stealing, ultimately.
It has a hugh interest in seeing the base price of oil as low as possible.
Correction: it's only interest is seeing the base price of oil as low as possible at any expense (which, unfortunately, happens to include human life). All of the rest of its claims are bogus to begin with (or haven't been proven for nearly 4 months. I suppose they'll magically "discover" the WMD's also). But that's ok by your American standards, right? After all, Iraqis aren't Americans, just like apples aren't oranges.
The major effect...
More attemped justification of your dubious claims. You, sir, are a patriot of a quasi-facist nation and arguing with patriots is a waste of my time.
p.s. If you aren't American, your complete lack of insight into this matter fascinates me.
I guess that's why companies invest millions into open source projects. Because it maximizes profits.
Exactly. If you can maximize profits and at the same time create happier customers and more efficient software (which, as a result, will bring even more income in the long run), then that's a supreme marketing tactic compared to junk software and unhappy customers (which has to opposite effect). In the grand equation, however, the prime factor profit is of highest relevence. The customer satisfaction and efficient software are "far-sighted" tactics compared to throwing jobs across half the world and putting thousands of people out of work.
You sound like a child telling their parents something isn't fair.
I guess by you're standards, looting a country to satisfy your own needs (with fake evidence and without finding any WMD) is perfectly fine.
Your incorrect conjectures and dubious comments certainly seem to suggest you're a short-sighted (pun intended) person yourself.
It's not about profit margins, it's about intelligent business.
So you're saying that businesses are willing to sacrifice profits for the sake of efficiency? Probably not. As long as at the end of the day you end up with more money using plan A instead of plan B, then plan A will prevail, regardless of anything else. That's capitalism, American capitalism, and it isshort-sighted when you're only considering the consequences of optimizing one variable and ignoring the rest.
It's everything to do with profit margins, just like every political move that makes no sense unless you account for the profits (like the war in Iraq). Almost every company in the world is running with just that one variable in mind, and they better be or else they won't last long.

HOLY SHIT! After many years of experimental proof, the WIG (window$ is gay) Theory has been proven once and for all!
Now, time to prove the more general MIG (micro$oft is gay) theory. Damn, this one's gonna be a toughie, but together, I think we can pull it off!
try to figure out the meaning of that snake slithering across. I really didn't get it.

What a load of bullshit.
The US doesn't steal oil from anyone.
