When I'm working with someone who's designed a horrible database system and they can't grasp the concept of exponential increases in difficulty (and therefore search time), it's a problem.
I myself have implemented PID controller loops in systems I've developed. I may not have needed 3 years worth of calculus to do it, but I at least had to understand what I was doing and the significance of errors rather than blindly guessing why I didn't have it "right". Most common example of a PID controller people have seen is cruise control in a car. It's not as simple as "if speed preset, press gas harder, else ease off".
Now, that said...where I went, you didn't need any truly hardcore math to get a CS degree...a basic calc class and discrete were about it.
I like Guinness. Far from all I drink, but I like it. It's funny the misconceptions people build up in their mind "oh, it's too thick, it's like syrup, blah blah blah."
Guinness has _less_ calories and carbs than MGD / Bud. The taste comes from using barley that's been toasted. What seems as thickness is a lack of "carbonation" due to the dispensing style.
The stuff that's been sold for many years as "Guinness Extra Stout"...now that I don't care much for. But the "Guinness Draught" in bottles and cans is quite good.
Especially on a hot day though, I'd much rather have a crisp, hoppy, IPA though. Now that's bitter.
You can have your whisky / whiskey though. I used to be a scotch drinker but now I'd rather have a good reposado tequila.

no one can be told what the internet is. They must see it for themselves.
No?
How 'bout "A more wretched hive of scum and villainy you will not find anywhere in the universe."
Mostly harmless?
I haven't used vista yet. However I have often had the same question about XP...I know tons of people who claim they have to reboot multiple times per day.
I do more with my machine, yet I leave it on 24x7 and reboot only every couple of months, at most. Usually because my UPS goes nuts thinking my power has failed, not due to XP crashing.
I do, and always have, use linux and windows as well. Today's linux geek has it easy by comparison. I remember when fairly simple installs required you to download the app, unpack the tarball, tweak the makefile and attempt to compile it, find out you need a different libc, or static linked binaries, blah blah blah.
While it may have improved in more recent years, that's why my media box is running BeyondTV instead of Myth.

Windows is not without its security vulnerabilities. I would never argue otherwise.
However, XP is and has been blissfully stable for me for...5 years plus.
My system runs 24x7...gets a lot of use for multiplayer games, teamspeak, photo/video editing, internet browsing, some office apps, occasional light development work...etc. I tend to reboot once every month or two - when I am forced to in order to add the incessant security updates caused by lazy ms programmers and lifeless twits who spank every time they find a new vulnerability.
May not be a popular opinion here on/. but I've got no complaints about XP. It may be more about the fact that I don't run IE, outlook, most antivirus software, extra firewalls, etc.
Been just fine whether proc has been intel or amd, no extra cooling (just the CPU fan).
You've stumbled onto what I like to call "TJ's Grand Unified Theory."
Any scientific discovery or technological advance will immediately be analyzed to determine it's absolute potential for psychotropic effect or self-gratification.
(Revised from earlier version: "If you take any invention or discovery and place it into the hands of college students they will immediately devise a means to get high from it or have sex with it.")

So...now the thieves are the Dukes of Biohazzard?
What's in the booooooox?!?!?!
Don't worry. D-Link went from suck to blow a long time ago.

HAL was told to lie by people who find it easy to lie. HAL doesn't know how.
So what would it be if it were 1 time smaller?
Don't go off on a tangent.
Ex?! Mine plays that for my current wife.

Dude, I'm really not interested about your live feed to ratemypoo.com.
