How is one to rate things then? If one person says the graphics are beautiful, and another says that they are gorgeous, how does that improve things? 9 and 10 are a lot easier to understand then english.
With digital TV, cable modems, and on demand stations, you'd think that the TV stations would let you choose what shows you want to watch and when...maybe they could unlock a show when it's meant to be watched, but if you really want to you can watch it later...consider it a TIVO that records everything, never forgets, and is housed at the station...(I wonder how many harddrives that would take).
Hate to break it to you, IBM has many JVMs. They have their research JVM, they have the Sun licenced JVM, and they have a clean-room implementation. IBM is a HUGE company, they have redundancy.
If you want to know about their clean-room JVM talk to some of the people that write the embedded JVMs.
Last Thursday my buddy plugged his mini iPod into my stereo and it was producing static. He kept on telling me that my cable was going bad and that I need to replace it or everything I plug in will sound really bad. Kinda funny that it ended up being his mini iPod and not my cable (I've tested it recently with my regular iPod, and it works fine).
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I'm sure someone can create a virtual sound driver that outputs the sound played to a file instead of to speakers.
for a swimming pool your right, knowing the volume of the pool is needed to order the correct amount of material, but for filling a cylinder w/ BBs there is a lot more to deal with then knowing the volume of the cylinder. You need to consider if the BBs will be too big to even fit (1cm BBs, and 4mm radius cylinder), and how well the BBs will pack (wow, we're back on topic). If your trying to do something that complicated, use a calculator to come up with a single number, but at least make that your last step.
Maybe not, since a smart server would only store one copy of that email and allow it to be downloaded by 10 different people instead of storing 10 copies.
saying you need 28.274333882308139146163790449516 cm^2 of material doesn't really help you either. If your covering a circular area you need to worry about fully covering it, chances are your going to get a large amount of material and cut it into the correct size, in which case you need a square with a side = 6cm, and you need to know that the circle has a radius of 3cm.
Most of my favoite professors would require the answer to be simplified a bit more then that, I mean (96*10^187)*(pi^2)*e^(jpi/6)*(1.602) / ((1.5)^.5 *(2^.5)) is an acceptable answer, and simplified enough. Also where did the 1.602 come from? Chances are it's a constant in the problem, such as the mass of some object, so my answer would be (96m*10^187)*(pi^2)*e^(jpi/6) / ((1.5)^.5 *(2^.5)).
After algebra, one should do most calculations with variables in the result. The area of a circle with a radius of 3 is simply 9*pi, on a test why does it matter if the student plugs the number in to get a decimal number?
If you offer 1gb to a lot of people, you can find ways to compress all that data. For example, when mail (example: spam) is sent to 100 people, keep 1 copy of the message and give everyone a link to that message. Also, text compresses pretty well, so using some CPU power they can save on hard drive space. And I doubt that most people will come close to the 1gb limit, so google might be able to offer this while only having to have a fraction of the storage space.

I'm glad someone else said this.
And on that note, I give this article a 1/10
Try again next time

That's why I only steal audio books and sound effects.
The reason wireless electricity is a problem is that as distance increases linearly, power drops off exponentially
I suppose it's how you define a single nation. With thier economies being tied together I think they are pretty close to being a single nation.
Yup...part of the problem is that windows is better for somethings then linux is. For example, games.

3DNow! was made to compete with MMX
SSE was made to compete with 3DNow!
3DNow2 was made to compete with SSE
SSE2 was made to compete with 3DNow2
in that race, both AMD and Intel were playing catchup to some extent

"Every creative work is derivative in some way."
I'm just curious...when was the last original idea?
Would the overall cost go down since they're are less injuries & deaths due to car accidents?
Simply put, I'll stop going 10-15mph over the speed limit when cops (without thier lights on) stop passing me.
But people will get linux installed, so you can add Ogg support yourself.
How many movies & books has that been done in?

when you get to calculas and beyond, do you really need to bother doing basic long division?

I can't seem to find it now, but I seem to remember reading in one of the articles that the max size per email is 10mb.

maybe they're counting in binary? 38 = 100110, an order of magnatude more is 1001100 (76), which is less then 1011111 (95) :)
As a side note, I have to admit I actually feel pride for being a student who goes to RIT.
