I'm actually a Math/CS double major at Georgia Tech... The two subjects are so integrated these days - they're completely inseperable. Most Math people work on computers all day, and most CS people deal with Math constantly (unless they're '1337 d00ds 7h47 kn0w ASP and can make a 5h177y website). Even last semester, I had a proofs class which was clearly the domain of Math - but it was taught by the CS department. Additionally, our Intro-to-CS class uses Scheme - which is based on lambda calculus - a mathematical construct.
I think if CS majors stopped bitching about having to learn Math, they'd be much better off. Understanding the connections between the two will only improve your understanding of both.
If you happen to be in Skiles or the Student Center maybe... what would be nice is having wireless throughout the east campus housing area - then maybe I'd work outside sometimes:)
They could very easily map out where all phone calls were made, where they travelled while calling, how fast they were travelling. I imagine that the subpoenas will be issued for these records, and the phone companies will want to fight the subpoenas. Spousal disputes, divorce settlements, all kinds of nastiness might hinge on the availability of these records.
Dammit, Kenny, I told you... if I caught you speeding again I'm gonna divorce you! Now hand over those phone records!
Or you could just wake up 15 minutes earlier and get to work on time too. Life may be easier for people with more money, but if it weren't, what would be the point of money? This is hardly seperating the classes.
Might make it hit an orbit or two earlier too;) Such far off predictions are hardly accurate. There are so many variables involved and it's a very chaotic system, dependant on small differences in initial conditions. In short... who knows what it might do.
actually, that 50% in Zion (not Xion) was still in a Matrix (there no longer is "the" Matrix). Didn't you see the end?:)
As for Neo being "the one", I think we need to stop thinking about him as a sort of Jesus Christ figure. To be exact, he's the sixth... the sixth incarnation of what? I'd personally guess he's an AI the human "architect" is trying to perfect... but that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.
If you multiply all primes up to any prime, and the add or subtract 1, both resulting numbers are prime. Since there are infinitely many primes, there must be an infinite number of twins.

Evidentally our Physics classes aren't too strong either... you really shouldn't have to explain all that to him :)
I'd say it's only a problem when you get in the habit of:
... do stuff ... }
try {
catch (Exception e) { }
just so the code compiles quickly, assuring yourself you'll go back later and make it right... but then you never do.
w00t! No Georgia Tech :) Time to get a FreeNet network set up here... anyone else live in the Freshmen quad?
So that you would do what? Not work for them? heh... I guess they'll just ship even more jobs overseas, creating even less demand for you over here ;)
nitpick... it's HIPAA :)
:)
Sorry... work in regulatory stuff... I just see it misspelled way too much
Anyway, this probably has muchly to do with the debate... here's some good information:

I must say, going back to the original pieces will help me with my preferred lego project: computer cases.
argh... sucks being a poor college kid.

Well, it's 11:26 in the morning, and you're posting on Slashdot. You obviously have nothing better to do with your time :)

(I, however, am merely skipping class
"Oh, and there are only 4 "sites" where it is in operation."
;)
I believe you mean 3

PETA is starting to lose it's integrity.
;)
Whoa... I wasn't aware it ever had integrity
The earth's rotation is not staying constant, though. In fact, it is slowing down.
PEOPLE don't pirate DVDs, DVD-burners do ;)

The point of the article wasn't to determine whether or not performance would be increased, but how much it would be increased by each little factor.

now you tell me... I live not but 5 minutes from Perimeter Mall in Atlanta =)

If you multiply all primes up to any prime, and the add or subtract 1, both resulting numbers are prime. Since there are infinitely many primes, there must be an infinite number of twins.
For instance, (2*3)-1 = 5 and (2*3)+1 = 7.
(2*3*5)-1 = 29
(2*3*5)+1 = 31
(2*3*5*7)-1 = 209
(2*3*5*7)+1 = 211
Heck, install an antenna in your brain and just watch the TV in your mind's eye. Screw those old fashion TV's with "screens" ;)
um, in case you haven't been around here long, let me show you what we say about our own government:
http://slashdot.org/search.pl?query=DMCA
wow... looks like we are talking a lot about the DMCA... what about the RIAA?
http://slashdot.org/search.pl?query=RIAA
wow! same thing... wait... I guess this means we do talk about the problems in the USA too.
Probably saftey concerns... you don't even want a chance of losing that cushion at 500 km/h.
So John Conway is God? ;)
Or perhaps this could be used to disrupt some "crap" (silent 'c' ;)) stations down here on earth...
