Thanks for the posting, but it didn't work for me on RHEL 5.7. The message is "LaTeX Error: \l@subfigure undefined."
I downloaded package subfig and replaced your subfigure reference with "\usepackage[subfig]". Now I get a.pdf, but "The theory of the level-set method" and "Stephen Hawking" overlay each other.
Seriously, dump the v1280. If my memory is correct, it becomes "end of service life" this month. That means no replacement parts or o.s. upgrades from Oracle. The last time the admins tried to patch the v1280 where I work (> 2 years ago), after patching failed miserably, they discovered the Solaris maintainers were no longer worrying about the v1280 hardware.
If you're lucky, a third party will buy it from you for parts.
Their Fortran IV compiler and MetaSymbol assembler were works of art. Their UTS and CP-V operating systems could host 50-70 time-sharing users in 2MB (yes, two megabytes) of memory, which is all you could hang on their biggest mainframes.
Recently when I booted a laptop running XP, I started email, then fired up the windows task manager and sorted the process list by descending memory usage. The top ten processes summed to 383 megabytes! This is equivalent to the physical memory of 191 maxed-out Sigma 9s!
The ability of the SDS/XDS folks to provide so much functionality in so little memory is a lost art.
3.5 million EXTRA boomers retire over the next 4 years. Then it's 2 million EXTRA boomers every year for the next 16 years.
Not that I disbelieve you, but I'd like to see the source of these numbers. You also need to factor in those entering (or reentering) the job market, plus you need to account for those choosing to delay their exit of the job market because their 401Ks/CDs/stocks/bonds are doing poorly.
Showing all of the above (plus whatever else I haven't thought of) would produce some interesting numbers.
What he did then was a crime, and a posthumous pardon (aside from being a huge waste of time) does not help the gay rights movement.
Being straight, I can't speak to the gay rights movement. I can say, however, that if England likes the fact that they are speaking English and not German, they owe Turing a *huge* debt because of his crypto accomplishments during WWII.

Here is the answer: some companies expect you to be at work, irrespective of the state of your health. A previous employer wanted a death notification from an employee three days prior to the employee's death.
Considering the brits managed to reverse design an enigma machine based entirely on analysis of the traffic, (and were btw quite amazed at the similarity when they finally got one off a nazi sub)...
As another poster has pointed out, the Brits didn't reverse engineer an Enigma based on traffic analysis. The Americans did, however, reverse engineer the Japanese Purple machine in spite of never having seen one. It was quite a feat of cryptanalysis.
I am going to buy a set of tools; but first I want to hear what other people think would be a good idea.
Buy a hefty hammer. In a former job we had large, sturdy mailing tubes we used to smack the monitors when they acted flaky. (Don't laugh, it worked!) The boss man saw us do that one day and said don't do that. From then on we "didn't whack the hardware," we just made "minor positional adjustments!"
Anybody with a tremendous grasp of the obvious should note that the simple way to avoid robotic threats to humanity is to make absolutely sure the power switch is mounted on the outside of the robot, it's very large, and it's easily flipped. End of threat. Next problem, please.

256-bit AES is generally considered safe for geologic time, with geologic time possibly being reduced by orders of magnitude for the NSA. Any NSA/.ers care to comment?
My employers in my last two jobs have given me a total of three encrypted laptops, the oldest going back to the middle of 2008. If you choose an appropriate h/w vendor, an encrypted disk won't slow down the typical laptop user.
Encryption didn't seem to affect the Dell laptop; not true for the ThinkPad, it was slower than Christmas.
I plan to trademark "a", "an", and "the", so either stop using these words or be prepared to pay ten cents per usage (except for the NYTimes, which will be one dollar per usage). Thanks in advance.
The Enigma was used by the Germans, not the British.
True enough, but there is a record of the Brits and the French (who were in the unoccupied part of France) exchanging German Enigma keys which had been encrypted with Enigmas!
I am not a professional cryptographer, but I was astonished beyond words at reading about this usage of Enigmas, as it would seem that some bright Germans might have realized that Enigma-encrypted traffic was originating from England!
Sorry, Bloomberg, but your comments on the hurricane or AGW are just more political hot air. Maybe you should concentrate on getting NYC working again and leave topics you know nothing about to the "experts."
BTW, I seriously question your judgement in allowing the NY marathon to continue when you have people without food, water, electricity, gasoline, or shelter.
I share most of the OP's concerns, plus this: I want a clickable, one-piece pen. After years of looking for the perfect pen, I have two marvelous candidates:
Get a cheap, rugged Parker clickable, throw away the standard ink refill and replace with a Parker gel refill. Glorious, smooth, black ink!
When I need multiple colors (which is often), I use clickable, one-piece Tul pens. You can get a set of eight in four colors cheap at an "Office *" store. Keep four, give the other four to your wife or gf. She will thank you for it.
I see 616 comments posted so far. Thanks to all the other creative types out there for sharing your pen obsessions!
The Xerox Sigma 5 was the second machine I worked on. It was replaced by a Sigma 9. Of all the machines I've used since then, none were as elegant as the Sigma series of machines. Xerox provided the source code to the operating system, compilers, assemblers, and every other piece of software on the machine. It was an absolute treasure trove of knowledge!
I hope the museum's Sigma gear lives on for many more years.

That file naming convention is too predictable.
True, and so is the version control idea I stole:
age file
does "mv file file-; cp -p file- file" so you end up with files named "file" and "file-". age again and you get file, file- file--.
Which one is the most recent? In this example, it's always the file named "file".
Simple but very effective. However, I'm moving into the 21st century with git.
