I don't know about your puzzle thing. I got sidetracked by recruiters while working on it and ended up employed down the street from you instead:) We do real Computer Science (tm) too, but we don't sponsor a Battle of the Bands.
Well, in my cube I have two screens on my workstation, and my laptop sharing the workstation keyboard and mouse using synergy, so I use the laptop for slashdot!
No, it can't be solved just as easily, because you either run into the native resolution of the display, or the fact the text you're looking at is too frickin' small
Isn't it the applications that make the computer useful, while the OS simply provides an interface between apps and hardware?
What makes you think this is simple? That interface between apps and hardware has to be sufficiently documented that programmers can use it, sufficiently well-designed so that it doesn't break in weird ways, sufficiently abstracted so that application developers can safely deal with differences between hardware.
Maybe you're making the argument that it's easier to program certain tasks in a particular OS, but it's certainly possible to program a task to run on any OS.
"Possible" can mean "in entirely different ways" which means you need to study both OS's and possibly program your application in a completely different way. Not to mention that different OSs may have totally different and incompatible UI standards.
And as a secondary effect, the lack of environmental protections and labor protections would result in a wasteland controlled by those with the cash, with the bonus that the only power available to those without money is labor. No thanks.
that's got nothing to do with compression. the signal that goes onto a record is filtered (EQed, not compressed). The phono stage undoes this filtering, and brings the signal up to line level at the same time. You could have an amplifier that does not use the RIAA preamp curve, or a filter that does the preamp curve but doesn't bring the signal to line level.
New Freescale ColdFire microcontrollers still use the 68000 instruction set and they're still getting put in new devices, although the current CF core is a bit different...
or the "i have more hot friends on my top 8" battles that go on myspace EVERY DAY
Look at his web page. He's a Wikipedia admin. (the one who scheduules featured articles for the front page, even)
don't forget the film and the implants and the ring and the IUD
I hate to say it, but failed projects almost always seem to have engineers working on them too.

There are plenty of shareware apps that providence full functionality without nagging or a time limit. There used to be more.
i don't actually know the answer! :) i'm just shooting out ideas to jog your memory.
i can think of some things not owned by one of those three, but here's a list!
ford owns jaguar, including the jaguar f1 team, which they sold to red bull.
they also own aston martin.
ford and lotus collaborated to make the cortina in the 60s
Ah, so you only like white rappers, then?
Reznor remixed Peter Gabriel's "Darkness".
Is it just me or do you guys think Linden Lab is sponsering all these stories?
Sure they are; that's what PR firms DO.
The podcast scene supports SL heavily. I've no idea why.
Actually, many of the booksellers I know are very passionate about their profession.
But then the giant corporations would lose control of how consumers/voters think.
Yeah, we'll just have small independent content providers like Google.

Well, dual displays help give you a set boundary between code and email, or code and version control, or code and specs, etc. etc.

No, they'd have a hired army. You're advocating a return to feudalism.

"Warm" referes to the noise floor and distortion characteristics of an analog console.

i have gotten fsv to compile on my mac just now, but have you considered sequoiaview?

I don't think that's unique to MIPS. I seem to remember numerous pseudo-instructions from my 68HC11 days as well.
It isn't pets.com but it's close.
