The current system is designed so that only billionaires and lawyers from the Ivy leagues can possibly win an office. You know what I want to see? I want to see people like teachers, doctors, and small business owners to hold office. Not to mention the constitution/bill of rights/etc says absolutely nothing about political parties.
If you're going to spend the money for a Mac you owe itself to yourself to use OS X. It has a superior gui (i'm not trolling!), there's absolutely no hardware compatibility program, not to mention you'll have an excuse to strike up a conversation with the hippie girl at the cafe on the powerbook (I go to UC Berkeley:-P). And if you absolutely must use linux, use that other redhat-based OS specifically designed for ppc: Yellowdog. Or NetBSD or OpenBSD.
Companies like Microsoft work for their stock options.Companies like Apple work for the end user. Open source efforts work for their developers. We need a model of business that serves all 3.
take a class in abtract algebra, generally the first class in higher, proof-oriented mathematics. Primes have strong relevance in group theory (which is in itself relevant to quantum mechanics), which leads to rings and fields (widely applicable in linear algebra, analysis), which leads to other advanced topics.

It has applications in abstract algebra (like group theory) and number theory. Besides cryptography, they are often used in pseudo-random number generators and hash tables.

those things are selling like hotcakes.
On a more serious note I think its wonderful that I may finally be able to convince the IT dep at my place to ditch redhat enterprise.
i sit corrected. come to think of it, IBM's new bluegene supercomputer is powerpc. go figure..
this doesn't affect other countries domains, like .tk's, does it?
