There’s 2.6 million *photos*, not Vermonters. They must be keeping the photos from previous drivers licenses, too. That’s about 4 photos per Vermonter.
I believe that every program that crashes was made by someone who said "I want to stop learning." If you can't handle logical classes like math, Computer Science may not be the correct path for you. So, consider switching to some other field. Perhaps 3D modeling, if you still want to work on games. The world has enough shitty programmers.
I think you're confusing AIX with S/390. AIX is IBM's Unix system, not mainframe. It handles interactive workloads just fine. Hell, S/390 does, too. Your batch processing concepts are a few decades out of date. Just sayin'.
It is important to note that probably no large operating system using current design technology can withstand a determined and well-coordinated attack, and that most such documented penetrations have been remarkably easy. -- B.

So why are RAM sizes still based on powers of 2? Why are disk sectors still a power of 2? Drive manufacturers are hypocrites. Thanks Apple, now files will be "different" sizes depending on what OS someone is using. This doesn't make anything easier, it makes it harder! Now people will have to figure out why the 1GB of pictures their friend sent won't fit in the 1GB of free space they had on their memory card. Mega, Giga, etc, when used with Bytes (not bits per second, which is a rate measurement), are 1024-based. Why is that so hard for people to understand? I just explained it in one sentence! mebi/gibi/etc - these prefixes are retarded. 1000-base units should be called metric MB, metric GB, etc. I mean, we already have ton and metric ton, so why not? "Oh, noes, they've subverted the SI Rules!" - shut up, pansy. I'm the go-to guy for computer issues in my family, and no one has EVER asked me about this. If your parents can figure out facebook, they can certainly figure this out, if they even care. So, Apple, fix this, someone slap the drive manufacturers, and then we can all move on to something that actually matters.
Well, to me, Farenheit seems ridiculous. Why is 40F "Very Cold" or Freezing? Shouldn't it be 0? or 100?
Your argument makes no sense to me. Perhaps that is because I live in Vermont, USA, around 45 degrees (neither C nor F, though) north of the equator. The temperature commonly goes down to the single digits F here in the winter (it will be 3F, or -16C, in a few nights), and rarely goes over 100F in the summer. 0-100F encompasses 99% of the temperatures I deal with year-round. That's pretty convenient to me. The lower third of those temperatures are below freezing, so actually maybe 33F would be a little better for me as the freezing point of water. Speaking of thirds... thirds, fourths, and sixths are pretty common, especially in architecture, but not handled very well by the metric system. Do you use "dozens" in metric land?
You're saying that because you grew up with it, but ask anyone who uses Fahrenheit and they'll be able to tell you what temperature they are at (ballpark number, at least). There, fixed that for you.
Oh, and 40F is rarely freezing, doubly so for water.
You will want to check out the linux terminal server project and maybe also this site. I suggest not having hard drives. Go with a bootrom or an etherboot-enabled floppy disk. And definately go for full-duplex ethernet. 10 or 100 mbits, depending on what kind of hardware you can get.
I see the headline, and think to myself, "Self, it looks like you'll be able to use that VooDoo card in your AlphaStation afterall!" Then I see that it's voodoo3 only. Damn the electric fence.

Purple wigs and silver miniskirts? Will they have coffee ready for when Cmdr. Straker visits? We can only hope.

Hell, I'd be happy if it finally caught up to Firewire 400.

Whew! Just made it. Taunt taunt taunt...
That software is a custom version of Riptastic!.
> Yeah, same thing with Gillette. Since they introduced that lubricant strip, swallowing razors has been much easier.
Yeah, but they taste like Shick.
I used it in 1997.

Maniac Mansion 2 (Day of the Tentacle) did this. The original Maniac Mansion was playable on a C64 that one could find.

I have a JVC XV-511BK, and the only problem the Matrix DVD gives it is about a 10 second lag time on the top level menu. Playback was flawless.
