I just have one tiny problem... I can visit secure sites only as root, on my machine! I dont know why this happens, but everytime I try to visit a secure site using my normal username, mozilla hangs. All my ns4 plugins work fine, except the realplayer launching. (I mention this because it might be related to the secure sites not working). I think its because mozilla is failing to launch psm (which is a seperate application) or/usr/bin/realplay. Has anyone else had this problem? I've been wrestling with it for months...
I learned this the hard way, so you're very lucky to find out early. CS deals mainly with software, programming, algorithms, operatings systems, languages, etc. CE deals with hardware, logic gates, transistors, processors, etc.
My school has a major called CS&E, which I chose 5 years ago, because I was young and naive. The problem is, I learned which I wanted to do after I picked the major. Now, I find myself stuck learning about transistors (not that that's bad, I just don't like it) even though I know that I'm going to be a software developer. I regret wasting time in CE classes, but I must admit I did learn something, and that is never bad.
You need to ask yourself what you enjoy doing, and what you can see yourself doing for the rest of your life. This is tough, especially when you havent sampled either major enough before college. I would suggest, if possible, going in undeclared, take a few lower division classes from each major (make sure to do that early, like within 2 semesters, so as not to waste a lot of time) and then pick. --
Am I the only one who still likes the show? I dont think it's gone down in quality at all (well, not much anyway). It's not consistenetly funny, ie every episode per season, but it never was. Simpsons and X-files remain the only two shows I watch religiously.
I may be absolutely insane, but I can swear to remembering an episode where we saw Marge's ass. She was naked in the bed, as I recall, and her back and ass were showing. I only saw that episode once, though...
I fail to see how this guy's response email is "triumphant". He doesn't make any outstanding points. He just says "here, each of these urls are "bad". can you cut and paste your previous email with each of these urls instead of just one?" Hardly poignant.
I'm glad he's putting up a fight, but this is hardly a "triumphant" response.
Oh, come now. If anyone says they don't like porn, they're lying. Secondly, what else is illegal cable for? Crap movies? Wrestling? Spice channel is where it's at.
What's even more interesting to me is that this is quite a long first post, how did he have time to write all that without some AC typing "first!" and pressing submit real quick!?
California is the most important state in the most important nation for the following reasons:
1) Thousands of hot chicks
2) Silicon valley
3) Disneyland
4) Thousands of hot chicks
5) Me
You got that straight. The music industry has been ripping off the masses for years now. The only reason we accept CDs for $20 is because we've been trained to think thats how much they're worth, just like we've been trained to think how impossibly special and talented "artists" actually are.
Please don't preach to me about hard working artists. It's not hard work being an artist. Some record exec decides what songs you'll sing, what look you'll have, what demographic you'll be targetting. Some dip shit writes your songs. All the "artist" has to do is sing(wow, that's real hard to learn how to do) and go on Leno once in a while to demonstrate his/her stupidity in an interview ("I've been singing since I was 3!"). It's hard work being a pediatrician, or researcher, but instead, the artists are becoming billioners instead of these people, who are actually doing something for humanity.
And please, no business majors preaching about "supply and demand". $20 a cd is theft, in my book, and I dont care about anyone else's book.
gnapster and opennap is all I need. it will take a long while before the lawyers smash these up. poetic justice.
What pisses me off more than microsoft's antics, and their apparent disregard for the government's wishes, is that people in general don't see anything wrong with these shinanigans(sp?). (And by people, I mainly mean the corporate IT guys, and by corporate IT guys, I mean my boss.) They just eat it up!
And by the way, does anyone else think that if microsoft were not the office suite leader already, they'd be moving to include Office into windows, preaching about "it's what consumers want"?

Wow, those are a lot of points you make... and exactly how many episodes of the various series did you watch to figure all that out?

Space station program management would also shift from Johnson Space Center, Houston to NASA Headquarters in Washington under Bush's plan.
This is a travesty. "Washington, we have a problem." How stupid is that!?

They promote it as a cross between CS and CE.
:) That's what I'm taking (5th year). See my other comment
Sort of like this?

Perhaps it will one day be routine to start a computing session by dumping in some liquid nitrogen onto a yet-higher-temperature superconducting CPU.

This reminds me of that one quote, from that one guy...

Here's why that's important: of that $20, artists see less than a dollar, and typically less than $.25.
Excellent point! Now I feel better because I'm stealing not from people but huge corporations.
