As someone who is finishing his BS in Meteorology from a reputable university that teaches meteorology (Univ of Oklahoma), I am really sick and tired of people not giving credit to meteorologists. First, I want to set some facts out:
1) People on TV usually do not have a BS in meteorology. They are usually journalists, hence, they have not taken the required math and physics that one needs in order to understand that air behaves like a fluid in a nonlinear fashion. Please take the time to distinguish between people that have science degrees and people who do not.
2) Weather Prediction. For anyone that complains about how meteorologists cannot predict the weather, I would like to see you apply your skills of solving Partial Differential Equations that are extremely complicated in a Lagrangian reference frame. Numerical weather models have to approximate solutions to the complicated PDEs and even have to reduce important terms (Scale Analysis) that, of course, play a significant role in the long term.
3) The Storm Prediction Center is located in Norman, OK. As an undergraduate... I love to learn about the vertical tilting and stretching of a baroclinically induced horizontal vorticity zone... i.e.. Tornadogenesis. SPC saves lives and employees people that have masters in meteorology. They are highly qualified and are not the usual crapfest that you see on The Weather Channel or local news stations.
This kind of non effective piracy control reminds me of "1984". This is not going to work. I wonder if I could send RIAA a "fingerprint" of my ass crack.
This is not intended to be a flame... but this is not really surprising. Pixar makes better moves than Disney/non-Pixar related movies. It's all about quality.
Take a look at Finding Nemo. First off, an interesting tidbit: My atmospheric dynamics professor knows another fluid dynamics professor that was working on fluid dynamics in the college setting but has since switched to films to employ Navier-Stokes equations in movies...
Look at Nemo, those shallow waves (found near-shore) are actual mathematical simulations based on nondispersive wave equations. Pixar employs scientific concepts to its movies. I have not heard of Disney/non-Pixar movies doing this. This minor tidbit adds to the quality of Pixar films versus Disney/non-Pixar films.
Pixar uses the best voice actors (and comedians), mathematical/real-time physics, and, most importantly... a well developed plot that is interesting. This is why I think it has been so successful versus others.
Go Pixar!
Remember.mod files? I always thought mods were better than midi because mods usually had some sort of voice while midis were usually solely instrumental.
"In mathematical terms, we would say that every document is a vector of n numbers or a point in a space with n dimensions."
Funny. When I took linear algebra I was wondering if there was a practical approach to this, and I guess there is... to elliminate penis enlargement advertisments.
This is a great way to do this legally... but... there is always someone that will circumvent the issue and find a loop hole to share music within iTunes.
I really don't see illegal mp3/acc file sharing to be stopped. Ever.
Panther added longevity to my old G4 400mhz machine. It feels relatively fast. I'm looking forward to the next upgrade. 129 bucks is well worth it for the considerable upgrades and improvments that occur with each 10.x release.
The article mentioned that the fiber optics cables were cut, which is a great business opportunity for people who "join" those cables together.
100K or so a year for fixing fiber optic cables... I'm definently in the wrong field. Of course, those technicians have to be very precise or else you get refraction in the wire.
This calculator good for basic math and people in non-engineering majors.
The Ti92 (or Ti89 if you don't want the qwerty keyboard) is still the best route to go for higher-level mathematics (Calculus etc)... however it has its limitations. I am taking Partial Differential Equations this summer and I don't think any calculator can help me get the answer quick and easy.

I'm waiting for the ATI 256 All In Wonder card for the mac platform... connecting that to a 23 inch Cinema Display would be heavenly.
The slashdotting of this server can be raised to the 3 as well.

Look you pedantic idiot. BS = Bachelors in Science. Geez.

Moof!
Check this link out from Appleinsider under the user name "windowsblowsass". I thought that was humorous.

The nice thing about email is that the user doesn't have to respond. This would "force" the user to correspond with the person who sent the email.
Hell, its fun to get an email and deleting it without responding.

Seriously. This is tiring.

Does this mean that SCO will be now charging $699 to cell phone users?
