Books don't fail to boot. Books don't require batteries. Books are often more compact than their electronic equivalent. Books can withstand massive g-forces and falls from great heights. Properly cared for books can last hundreds to thousands of years.
Well I can't call you an American 'cause then I'd offend the people in Canada, Mexico,
They're part of America too you know.
No, they are part of North America.
The United States of America has America in it's name. Canada doesn't, Mexico doesn't, Brazil doesn't, Argentina doesn't. TTBOMK, no other country has "America" in it.
Mexico has a definite claim to be aggrivated when "we" simply call ourselves the "United States". But, guess what?
We got there first. "We" were the United States for 34 years before Mexico was. So, in the spirit of "first come, first served": stuff it, Mexico. As a gesture of friendship, though: how about we rename That State which bears a part of your name?
it will be used for applications where uptime is essential (after all, it's a server board).
If uptime is essential, then you'll be using a Tier-1 8U cage with hot-swappable RAM CPUs. SPARC, POWERx or some such, running Solaris, AIX, Tandem, etc.
Cracking a tough problem in an elegant way tends to stick in people's minds and they start bringing me more unusual and difficult problems. That's what distinguishes me from the rest. [snip] That said, I used to whine about having to learn all this theory stuff in school. Never saw the need for it at the time. But in retrospect, I'm obviously very happy I learned it. Every so often, I even find myself reading theory for *gasp* fun.
But are you a good engineer and applied mathmetician, or "Scientist"?
Anyone who says programming is not a science has never fixed an elusive bug in a multi-million line program. Form a hypothesis, create and run an experiment, document results. Sound familiar?
You have a point, but discovering a "bug" isn't the same as discovering a new species of arthropod.
Discovering a radically new code-optimization algorithm, though, that is real Comp Sci.
Or, is he not a scientist, but more an applied mathmatician?
Most CS people just end up doing programming, but the stuff you learn later on (like algorithm running time, and sometimes language and complier design, sometimes functional programming with XSLT) do come in handy.
When you consider how many "programmers" barely even know how to do OO, a real comp sci person can do things no mere programmer could ever dream of.
Sure, all that is darned useful.
But in all the things that you mentioned, there's Engineering and Art, but precious little Science.
"Computer Science" is so bogus. Sure, some people with CS degrees go on to get PhD's and disover better sorting algorithms, but 99.9% of us "just" become programmers.
Unfortunately, one cannot know whether he/she will go to heaven, according to the Bible (Judge not)
I don't think that's what "Judge Not" means. As far as which Christian gets into heaven, that's a whoooole different, and very long, topic that's definitely not suitable for Slashdot.
Apparently all the judgement will happen on judgement day/apocalypse/whatever.
That's what The Revelation Of John seems to say. IMO, the reason people think Uncle Bob, or Aunt Jane go straight to Heaven/Hell is that that's what they've always been taught.
And why the sobbing at funerals? Aren't they happy their loved ones went to be with Jesus?
The (original, non-commercialized) New Orleans Jazz Funeral recognizes this fact.
The band plays dirges while the casket travels from the Church to the cemetary. Then, from the cemetary to the deceased's house, the music is lively and happy, celebrating the fact that the deceased is now in Heaven.
Intel bribed Skype to do this, everyone knows it, AMD intend to prove it in court, at which point Intel will have to negotiate a settlement to avoid enormous PR and shareholder problems.
Let's say Intel paid Skype US$50Mn to add this extra capability to v2.0. That's fine, Intel is within their right to do that, and say, Hey, we ponied up the cash, so we want it to only run on our CPUs.
As a Linux-using AMD semi-fanboy, I have no problem with that.
The problem is that Skype tried to blow smoke up our arses, and obviously we don't like that, and get suspicious, and think that something illegal is going on.
However, I suspect that SecureCRT does what he wants. You can configure a login script to run when you connect, within which you can set up shell aliases. You can run scripts manually, within which you can do whatever you like, and you can configure keys to send whatever strings you like. One of these should cover whatever it is that he's asking how to do.
That's exactly right. With a bit of boilerplate VisualBasicScript, I've automated the logins to all the systems I work on.
I could, if I needed to, add as many "alias..." commands as needed to the.vbs script.
SecureCRT really is a useful ssh-capable terminal emulator.

Amen, brother.
Now why again should I go exclusively digital?
Long live the dead trees!
To you debian guys this must seem like lightspeed development beyond the lot of mortals :) To you I say, holy crap, you're still on the same version?
Those who value stability are staying on Sarge. Those of us who would rather keep up are running Sid/unstable, and maybe even a little Experimental.
How come????
What do you want me to say? I can piss farther than you can!
Or maybe you'd like 'Cuz I said so!
Sarcasm aside, a coherent question would be useful. I like coherent questions.
compare checksums.
To what? The (possibly) fraudulent checksums that Lockheed Martin gives it?

I'd want a small home(1,500 - 2,000 sq.ft.)
Consumer aquisitiveness, gotta love it. 50 years ago, 1200 sq ft was more than enough to raise 3 kids.
Once you are in a downsizing trend (i.e. empty nest) you can just get whatever size you need and be done with it.
The overwhelming likelihood, though, is that your wife will refuse to move.

Engineering is a science.
2 a : the application of science and mathematics by which the properties of matter and the sources of energy in nature are made useful to people
The key word is "application".
Most CS people just end up doing programming, but the stuff you learn later on (like algorithm running time, and sometimes language and complier design, sometimes functional programming with XSLT) do come in handy.
When you consider how many "programmers" barely even know how to do OO, a real comp sci person can do things no mere programmer could ever dream of.

That too. But I was thinking "pork".

He said he wanted something lean .
Like "the other white meat"? (That's probably an Americanism that no one else will get...)
In that case, I don't want an Office killer. I want something lean and fast.

brag about using lesser known tools that to normal, non techinical users makes them seem more powerfull then the rest. And so they brag.
Jeez, and I thought I needed to get a life...

sounds like childish foot stamping
The bold effects in my post must have given you the impression that I am hot and bothered about this topic.
Rest assured that I am not. The boldness was for clarity of point.

No. But you would be if you bragged about it.
Brag about using someone else's BIOS? WTF would I do that?
Or brag about writing my own? (Which I would be justly proud of...)
Dude... what are you talking about? Script kiddies are called script kiddies because they steal other people's ideas.
Dude... am I a script kiddie because I use the other peoples programs instead of writing everything from scratch, including the BIOS?
