Intel's support of Rambus over DDR SDRAM in high-end systems is just beginning to be justified, if you've seen the latest benchmarks on tomshardware. DDR SDRAM is a bit more unstable at higher clock speeds and Rambus seems to be able to scale nicely. I don't like Rambus as a company one bit, but until I see more info from other news sites, I'm going to remain a little skeptical about this claim.
If the universities you're interested in have a boat-load of money coming into the math dept., then it may not be so difficult because the resources will be more likely available to you. However, in some universities, where the math depts are small, it pays bigger dividends to have more knowledge when matriculating. This is because you'll have more of the professors' attention and therefore more funding for any research you want to do.

If we stopped shipping this crap out to other countries, and it started piling up here uncontrollably, I think we'd be forced to find a way to deal with it...it really makes me sick that we use other countries as dumping grounds.
A buckminster fullerine is shaped like a soccer ball. That is, it is a molecule composed of 60 carbon atoms. Because of how the the carbon atoms are bonded to each other, in this configuration, I don't think it's actually possible to crystalize bucky balls.
I'm sorry to hear about your problems with IBM, but it would seem, even if only anecdotally, that most people I know have found IBM drives to be rock-solid.
I agree - I wouldn't use unstable on my email server at work....anyone who does is just asking for it...but I use it on all of my own machines because when things break, it forces you to learn how things work.
for those who don't have high-speed internet access. we could also go the extra step and install CD-burners on computers in libraries with fast connections. This way, a librarian could download the most recent version of whatever distro is requested. A patron would just have to bring his/her own blank CD. -or is this all just a big pipe dream?
Apparently, the Australian government doesn't take kindly to games that promote the stealing of cars and running down of people; they won't even give GTA3 a rating so it can be sold.
Do they censor books and other forms of entertainment/media like this in Australia?
Just how many companies are there called Acme? Several...and they're all in different types of businesses. I don't know how the laws work in Germany, but in the U.S., trademark dilution applies to disputes within the same industry.
If you recall the whole Diablo game dispute, Blizzard had to register the trademark for not only the game but for the movie as well.

This guy wasn't trying to sell oil or gasoline. He "used shell.de as the homepage for a translation and publicity business."
This just shows just how much more influence big companies have over governments than the rest of us - no matter what government.
for those who are brave enough to immediately try out fresh kernels that may break one's system so I don't have to - and for those responsible for putting the fix out so quickly.
Does your ISP support v.92? Last I heard, some ISPs weren't even going to support the new protocol because there wasn't a lot of demand for it and OEMs aren't putting the new modems in their machines. Here's an article on this issue.
Trackball and mice have moving parts and a touchpad or a pencil eraser-like thingies don't. This probably means that they're more likely prone to breaking or malfunctioning, and they're also likely to be more expensive to intergrate.
I'm not an expert but I'm willing to bet that since only part of a trackball's surface is exposed at any given time, the rest of it would have to take up valuable real-estate inside of the laptop, probably more than a touchpad would. That's why you almost always see them attached to the side.
I know HP's cutting back because of the economy, but I wonder how much more of this is simply Texas Instruments' dominance in calculators. I know of only one high school in my area that uses the HPs and none of the departments at my university use them either.
I never could understand the reverse polish notation, but I always thought the IR in the HPs were a much better idea than the physical link cables of the TIs.
Yodaiken's trying to patent his kernel mods. Not only is that a violation of the GPL, it absolutely flies in the face of the idea of using GPLed software.

From the title, I thought immediately that the article was about solar-powered, miniature toy cars.
and he talks about watching the marshmallow through the small window of your microwave....what a perv.
An editorial by someone other than Katz....i.e. it's readable and enjoyable.

Google's making money, albeit a modest amount, from advertising. Here's an old article from August on how they're doing.

RMS isn't telling you to stop using MS Word. He's asking that you don't send your attachments in Word format.
a used VXPocket as opposed to a used lunchbox. I suspect the used VXPocket would be cheaper....as for finding one, I haven't a clue.

There was a slashdot story on this a while ago, but I guess this new post is on the official press release.

My prof says that the software used to control the production of the Patriot missile over at Raytheon is running on the PDP-8.
is a very subjective issue

But I'll wait until it gets ported to the PC
Was the most amusing part when the evil Jet Li proclaims, "I'm nobody's bitch!"
