If you put the second processor on a daughterboard, are they really on the same motherboard? By that logic a graphics board is on the same motherboard as the main processor, too, and that's all the more cool because they're completely different kinds of processors.
Call me when they get the two chips sitting side by side and running an OS.
NOTHING else is as cheap. No pro sports, concerts, operas, plays, ballets, movies, dinners, truck shows, car races, or comedy clubs give you anywhere near that many hours of entertainment, for anywhere close that such a low price. Nor can you get any of your money back when you're finished "enjoying" anything I just listed, except for CDs./I hear Random House is working on a new form of entertainment called "books"...
Not to mention all the fun you can have with a free C Compiler.
YDL has a (proprietary) app that runs OS X from within Linux. This would enable you to enjoy 1) all the gooey cool Mac OS X advantages while 2) running your free Linux apps without spending a week dicking around with autoconf.
"It's not a game of winners and losers," Matan says, "but rather entry into another world with stories and plot changes."
Perhaps that's the reason? They're worried that the soldiers will try and cooperate with the enemies to maximize the richness of their war stories?
In all seriousness, D&D with its levels and experience points, encourages the mindset that advancement/promotion merely comes from working hard, and that everyone does it eventually. Not to mention the fact that in D&D one gets experience points from 1) Killing things ("Why can't I be a seargeant? I killed thirteen terrorists last month!") or 2) Collecting loot. Now, I'm the number two directive of the IDF (after national defense etc) is "Don't piss off the palestinians, neighboring Arabs, and other countries any more than you absolutely have to." You can see how wanton killing and plundering would violate this.
The GPL doesn't force an opinion on you either. You don't like it? Don't redistribute the code. If anything, you're being an immature egotist, Mr. Anonymous Coward, because you're telling everyone that BSD licensing is better than GPL. That's just what you said BSD-license software writers were above.
The whole thing with software patents is funny to me, because it means the EU is squandering its opportunity to become the next superpower (in competition with China maybe) in a few decades when the US's technological dominance has faded completely. Software patents might cause the EU to sink just as far the US will, in technological terms at least.
LISP is software, if you aren't running LISP, why would it be a LISP machine?
Because that's the name of the machine. It's still a PC even if it isn't being used personally by a single person. It's still a laptop even if it sits on a desk or table and never actually rests on anyone's lap. It's still Windows XP Professional even if it's only ever used by amateurs who happen to ahve a copy.
But the main difference between the Mac and a Dell is what makes a Dual Apple PPC 970 machine a "Mac"..... is the OS.
Dell machines will always be Dells but what makes a Dell a Dell is the hardware, not Windows. A Mac can truly only be called a Mac if it is running Mac OS [X]. Otherwise, it's simple Apple Hardware.
Bzzzzt, you are not correct. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. The reason the software is called "Mac OS X" is because it is the 10th major version of the operating system designed to run on (tada!) Apple Macintosh computers. That's why the names of the models are things like iMac, PowerMac, eMac. Real Apple Macintosh hardware contains Vector coprocessor from Motorola, a Macintosh Keyboard (with command keys), OpenFirmware, etc. There may be other modifications to the PPC970 chips they get from IBM as well.
Case in point: If I take an old Symbolics LISP Machine, and run a different, non-lisp OS, is it still a LISP Machine?
It's called a "Windows tax" because MS forces the manufacturers to include the price of Windows, if not Windows itself, on all the PCs they sell. You'll notice, if you buy PPC970 hardware that isn't manufactured by Apple (i.e., IBM) it doesn't come with OS X. And, you don't pay for OS X either. You could make a case for calling it an "OS X" tax when you buy from a value-added reseller (such as Yellow Dog/Terrasoft), but Apple could just as easily claim that the OS comes from free with the computer anyway, and charge the same price if it has Linux, OpenBSD, or no OS at all.
The GPL isn't about ego. In fact, the GPL is probably even less about ego, since it doesn't require the original copyright notice to be maintained in all the source/binaries distributions.
If anything, it's impossible to 'proprietize' GPL software in the way that it is with BSD license. Any idiot can release a fork, but since he still has to release the code, it can just be merged back into the original source.
That said, there are a great many really egotistical developers of GPL software. But then, that's true of software developers in general. Occasionally, you'll even find developers with a good reason to be egotistical (*cough cough* The de Ratt *cough)
The medium is not the message, except in the case of blogs. Don't you read any? 90% of them are about how much better blogs and blogging are than print or televised sources of information, the immanent demise of (Old|Big|Mainstream|Corporate) Media, and the possibilities for blogs to revolutionize communications (without, of course, actually doing anything to further these goals).
Naturally, the other 10% of blogs are even more stupid and self-absorbed: who's dating who; who likes what food, clothes company, movies, or computers; buzzword-laden business strategies of the week; complaints about said business strategies; etc.
Tatsuya has gone on several unannounced hiati in the past; I think the most recent was sometime last summer. It's an excellent comic, and if I was filthy rich I'd pay him not to do such a thing anymore.
They balance one another because they are different or compliment each other. THis is different from the compliment that sings the praise of someone else.
Why yes, it is different. In fact, it's so different that it's spelled complementary.
Then why the fuck don't you drop out and go to DeVry?
The point of having core courses is to broaden student's horizons. Any dumbass can read a textbook in a field outside of science by themselves. Most people hate taking the surveys of major cultures in the milennia, because they're so boring and inspecific. It's getting down and dirty with the details of one thing that makes a field exciting for people who moved from Junior High.
Never taken a Psych course? Then how do you know you hate it? Maybe you should try taking one and see. An
Actually, you shouldn't, since your preconceptions will keep you from having an open mind, and by constantly whining you'll ruin the class for people who care.
Five or six ten page assignments in one semester really isn't much trouble if you'd bothered to learn how to write, and write well--I've done four ten pagers in a week, and they were all for one class. The medieval liberal arts are still, if you bothered to care. Educators have simply discovered that it's easier to teach grammar, logic, and rhetoric ("critical thinking") as elements of language and discourse. Most people are not going to learn fuck-all by studying what synecdoche means, or by memorizing Aristotle's table of universals and particulars. You learn better by doing, so they have you write and think a lot.
As for arithmetic and geometry, most people learn those pretty well in high school--at least to the point that anyone in 1200 would have known them. For music and astronomy you're probably on your own, but I'm sure your college has a fine arts requirement that could be filled by a music course, and an intro to astronomy is hardly a difficult thing to find at any school.
BTW, as if CS isn't the pinnacle of turning people into cogs to be exploited by the system.
Private R&D is generally a bad thing. If all research were privately conducted, then the companies paying for it would keep the results from getting published. Now, even if companies were to start giving grants to university researchers instead of hiring everyone away, they'd still make them sign some kind of NDA, and possibly a non-compete contract, that prevents them from doing anything useful that directly benefits everyone else.
Ultimately, the problem is that private research is done for the sake of making money, rather than out of some sense of responsibilty for human progress, and consequently anything that threatens the profitability of the investment needs to be shut down. Not to mention that there'd be even more incentive for scientists to lie or fudge results, since instead of mere social pressure, vast sums of money can be used as incentives.
I'll trust an enormous, untrustworthy government over an equally enormous and untrustworthy corporation any day. At least governments needs someone to vote for them.
Greenland still has green parts. However, then as now, the largest part of the island is covered with glaciers. I sure hope you've got better evidence than that supporting your claim that there's been a bigger change between 1000 and 1350 AD than between 1750 and today.
I saw this in Omni magazine, roughly the same time period. There was a contest of who could submit the most off the wall new "theory", and the cat/toast arrangement for perpetual motion won. There was a cartoon of a distressed looking cat with buttered toast strapped to its back.
Don't remember the exact date, but you might be able to find a back issue and find the winner's name.
I have a solution, which I stumbled onto by accident. I enabled root on my machine as a user, and logged into the GUI with the root account once. I set the root user's theme to Graphite (as opposed to Aqua, which my normal "admin" account uses), so everything is kind of grey. Ostensibly this was so I would be able to remind myself at a glance which I was logged in as.
Anyway, one side effect of this is that system-owned dialogues (shut down, log out, etc) are in graphite, while the others are in Aqua. So I can tell when my password is being requested by the system, and when an application is doing it instead. It would be pretty easy to spoof, but only if everyone did it. If half the people use graphite as root and aqua as user, and the other half use aqua as root and graphite as user, it becomes impossible for malware to fool everyone.

It was still proprietary the last time I checked (which was, I admit, a while ago).

You misspelled "Camino".
Wait, is that supposed to read
"Why bother with Camino when we've got Safari?"
or
"Why bother with Firefox when we've got Camino?"
?
