Ok everybody. Imagine in your heads two pieces of ice hitting each other. Now imagine this isn't happening for 4 days. Is it something you're looking forward to yet?
I didn't want to upgrade to the 650 after the news about the chip problems that were covered on slashdot a few months ago. Will this hack work with the 600? Or is it unlike the T5 internally? Can a similar mod be done?
I started playing video games in DOS 5.0 on my dad's IBM PS/2. It was a 286 Processor with a 20 meg hard drive. I think the first game I played was "The adventure of captain comic". I've been hooked since. My parents even have a picture of me staring hypnotically into the monitor.
I would not be taking a course that required me to find 10 new security holes in a relatively rugged piece of software. I'll stick to courses where I have to write my own OS, thanks very much.

I prefer his 2004 Book, Mind Wide Open. A very interesting read into the way the brain works. Good in conjunction with Jeff Hawkins' On Intelligence, for those interested in Cortical AI.
When I was in Highschool we joined a competition called Canada FIRST Robotics, Basically they give you the board and some motors and relays, and you have to build a robot which will compete in some kind of game. In the year we did it, The game was a Giant 48' x 24' Pacman game where 4 Robots had to run around and pickup yellow bean bags and launch them into a rotating goal hopper. It was probably the highlight of my highschool career. Google it for more info.
Maybe, but look at the kind of math that gets taught in schools now. Maybe back in the day students were flexing their brains with the crazy arithmetic skill they had, but you probably weren't doing 40 terms of a Fourier series either. Just because we're slower to multiply 3 digit numbers in our head than students of yesteryear doesn't mean we're crippled.
*sighs* Oh Parents. He's an idea. Stop worrying about the evils of Television and Computers et. al. Stop Lobbying the FCC to censor all broadcast media. Do some parenting. Sign your kids up for swimming lessons or something, expose them to a variety of things so they can learn what they enjoy, but if they get their work done, if computers are what they enjoy, regardless of what they're using them for. LET THEM USE THE BLOODY COMPUTER.
It depends on what it is. For example, Engineering design in many cases requires a great deal of Calculus, Vector Calculus, Stats, and Differential Equations experience that, as far as I know, you don't usually get at College in Canada. If you want to program on the other hand, you can probably learn a lot of that at college, but in general, yes I agree.
The only thing I can say that might be a benefit is that well known schools tend to attract high calibre Profs and have more connections in the industry. That's why they're well known. Schools like Berkley, MIT, Waterloo, etc. are well known because they have these crazy profs doing research, and because they have a lot of people who are again well known who have gone to school there.
However: That stuff happens at the Grad level, Undergrad honestly doesn't mean anything to anyone, everyone learns the same crap, and whether you get taught Linked Lists from Prof. Joe Blow or from Knuth doesn't make a huge difference from the standpoint of the material, but it is neat to meet people who are well known like that, and get their prospective on things.
If you're happy where you are, stay where you are.
There are very few 'Average' Linux users. My a-typical Average PC User is Using Windows XP Home and has just Figured out the DVD-ROM is not a coffee cup holder.
Why would anyone in their right mind want to pay for virtual gifts for a virtual woman. This is the ultimate version of hell. Appearantly she nags at you if you don't spend money on her. It's like all the punishment and none of the reward.
Morphix Game Rate: -5 (Would rather run tongue across a rasp than play this game)
Is it just me, or are Hot Keys for thinks like Copying and Pasting really over rated, Ctrl-C, Ctrl-X, etc. (And the Linux Equivilants, i'm a Windows user) are subconcious to me at this point, rather than rooting around for some key at the top of the keyboard.
If you click on a mailto hyperlink, while it brings you to the gmail site and creates the appropriate template, it doesn't log you in automatically (and since the toolbar has your uid and password, it should). Definately want to be able to save local too.
One of the reasons it's very ambiguous, is that it has multiple applications. The major ones are authentication of things like emails, where you would have to calculate the token for each user, or in the distant future, a form of digital currency that would actually reside on a hard drive as opposed to a server on a bank somewhere.
In addition to the water not warming up any significant or indeed measurable amount, Lake Ontario isn't exactly the most stable and clean of places anyway. Local Legend says that when Jesus walked across water it must have been lake Ontario.
Blocking out the Substantia Nigra to decrease dopamine levels is not exactly a safe thing to do, as this is essentially what happens when people get Parkinson's Disease. Don't expect any Anti-Procrastination Drugs to be coming out any time soon.
What difference does that make exactly? You agree with your current telco to whatever standards they enforce with regards to changes in their service agreement. Furthermore, any federal body who would have access to your phone records can get access to them now, today, as we speak, they are required to allow phone taps, etc. This is simply an incarnation of the same.

Sounds like somebody went to Waterloo....

Could be worse, could be tech support. Oh Wait....
I wonder exactly how long it will take for someone to crack the encryption on it...

I would rather they kill the Hotkeys and Bring back the Quadruple-Bucky Space Cadet Keyboard.
