in its early years before Windows even existed Microsoft indeed said "A PC on every desk and in every home" At later points in time they added bit about windows, and even later said they wanted a server in every home.
part of the attraction of.NET and C# was supposed to be open standards/API/specifications for interoperability in the enterprise. Now Microsoft is sending signals that if you implement these you might be sued.
but the thing is Feynman came up with so many very good ways even non-physicists could get a handle on processes without math - e.g. Feynman diagrams and some other analogies. To *deeply* understand modern physics one needs the math but the very powerful underlying concepts actually don't. A two-slit experiment with the right instructor can go a long way to understanding probability density functions, for example. Or an aluminum wire with oxide coating to demonstrate quantum tunneling, in the right hands. Feynman was a master at it.
we're already on a wrong timeline, the Borg took over the Republican party and now they're infecting the whole planet. Instead of an intelligent Borg Queen we have the Dumbass Borg King George, so fortunately for the universe we're doomed.
more or less that makes L. Ron Hubbard a deity. A narcotics abusing, fraudster, sci-fi writing deity. Ah well, that's more interesting than most deities.
so if an infinite number of cheneys were given shotguns and sent to hunt with a party of lawyers, would one actually hit an animal, or would the faces of the lawyers absorb an infinite amount of birdshot?
safe for work - that's pictures of a old filthy dumb ignorant primate who breaks things he doesn't understand while hooting incomprehensible gibberish and who carries parasites, and some playful chimps.

that's a very disrespectful comparison to the chief and vice executives, you should be ashamed. Apes are noble creatures.
Being on the fence about using Linux and never really being sure what version
The number of GNU/Linux desktops running Ubuntu is now one in three and still growing, couldn't do too badly to jump on that bandwagon if only to give it a try.
Sands: " Open-source developers need to have rules and governance spelled out for them"
But maybe not by Sun. The community might choose another group to lead them, especially since Sun hasn't taken the time to build free alternatives to important Sun java libraries. Just saying it's possible that omission might bite them.
but being a crazy neo-hippie vegetarian is ok. Greenpeace, on the other hand, are ecco-terrorists who have on several occasions endangered people's lives with their stunts at sea. There are a couple times when it would have been justifiable to have Green boats torpedoed by certain governments in order to protect citizens.
this also just in, microsoft enforces monopoly and prevents users from having a choice by its dealings with the leading perosnal computer manufacturers.
you're thinking of the T1, the T2 will have a FPU for each core instead of one per CPU in T1. The T1 is what is out and sold, for some tasks, it was slower than x86 but for other it is faster. The T2 will be better for a broader class of work, so Sun claims. Till now there's been no advantage to spawning threads in desktop apps (heck, it slows a single processor machine down) to do work that could be done in parallel, if multi-core machines on the desktop were common there's a lot of things that would have to be rethought.
even in that test they point out they just proved postgresql isn't an ideal app for that chip, that there are other benchmarks for which the T1 stomped the opteron.

and you don't have to answer a phone every time it rings. if you are talking with someone and they answer their cell phone, immediately walk away
oh, slashdotters get laid, but if straight not by any IT coworkers. For sure IT is the way not to meet women.
just wait till that woman is forced to make quick changes and fixes to someone else's huge pile of shitty code.
the density of Kevlar is 1.44, while polyethylene is 66% as dense at around 0.94 to 0.96, will actually float in water.

two or three years of exclusivity versus a thousand years of widespread use? better yet, zero years of exclusivity for math (algorithms)
those who choose the forehead will be perceived as more loyal. The sync bytes at the start of reading will be 0110 0110 0110
well, Stallman told them they'd save money, and following Stallman is the same thing

take a non-CS job but get into a hot open source project in your hobby time, then put a couple years of that on your resume

most deities are not believed to have bodies, try better.
