"It is estimated that the print holdings of the Library of Congress would, if digitized and stored as plain text, constitute 17 to 20 terabytes of information.[citation needed] This leads many people to conclude that 20 terabytes is equivalent to the entire holdings of the Library, but this is misleading because the Library contains many items in addition to books, such as photographs, maps, and sound recordings.

I do tend to agree with you on this perhaps a change is in order. A little off the cuff calculation is in order. Assuming 250 words per page with an average of 6 characters used per word give us approximately 1500 bytes per page in plain text. Also assuming that a 1 megabyte image be used per page instead of that 1500 bytes then we get something like the following.
In that case I say we make sure it's using 32-bit signed ints and only build one of them. That way the other two billion of us can start over after we defeat the killbot.
I currently work at an educational institution and we have been using NetRestore to reimage our Macs for as long as I have been there. We recently deployed two labs of Intel iMacs and have been using NetRestore to image them as well.
We started out by netbooting to image half the drive with a custom OS X install and then used the OS X install to image the other half of the drive with a custom Windows install. We decided to have two images to make maintenance simpler as if we end up having problems with either the Mac or Windows side we can easily just reinstall either one independently of the other.
The only downside to using this method I have experienced thus far is that the network in the building where the two labs are located seems to have become quite a bottleneck when reimaging. We can reimage about 10 at a time and the process takes around 2.5 hours, the fewer we do the faster they go but since everytime we have to update all of them it tends to take several days to get all 60 up to date.
My credit card company replaced my card last time with an RFID card. I'm not too worried about it though because I keep all of my cards in a metal cigarette case.
You had me convinced until you got to the part about a girlfriend. I'll just assume you meant to say (Hand one to my mom on the way back into the basement)
If Nvidia doesn't release a driver for it then it probably won't have accelerated X. The binary drivers nvidia currently releases are only for x86 and x86_64 (as far as I know), thus probably not easily modifiable to work on the PS3's Cell. There is a good possibility that the open source nv driver included with Xorg will be ported though.
I don't know where you went to college but I most definitely learned about linked lists and queues in college when I was asked to implement them as an assignment in my Data Structures class. Same goes for assembly, I took a full course on it.
I fail to see how having a football chaped controller will allow one to digitally play games like catch. Is the console going to catch the ball when you throw it and throw it back to you? Also, how are you going to set distance records playing a video game inside? It seems like the ball will stop when it comes into contact with one of your walls.
It did do a heck of a job at making my system fairly unusable but it seemed to want to use all of my gig of swap space before it could create/tmp/METASPLOIT. I killed the process before it got that far but I think I would have done the same thing in any other situation where Firefox was making my machine unusable. So anyway it didn't seem to be fast enough to work for me.

Isn't it obvious that the April Fools day theme this year is to pretend to be digg?
slashdott with 2 t's, digg with 2 g's...
How am I supposed to slashdott down though? It seems like I can only add to the number of slashdotts and never subtract from it.
Also when are they going to announce a slashdottNation videocast?
Why bother with one of these services when I can just Ask Slashdot for free?
How many Quest coins are you offering for an answer to this question?

Hmmm, I should have previewed. Try two!
I just ran it on a G4 iMac.
With one iteration:
InvSqrt(4.000000) = 0.499154
1/sqrt(4.000000) = 0.500000
InvSqrt(10.000000) = 0.315686
1/sqrt(10.000000) = 0.316228
InvSqrt(2.000000) = 0.706930
1/sqrt(2.000000) = 0.707107
InvSqrt(100.000000) = 0.099845
1/sqrt(100.000000) = 0.100000
InvSqrt(0.100000) = 3.157232
1/sqrt(0.100000) = 3.162278
With two iterations:
InvSqrt(4.000000) = 0.499998
1/sqrt(4.000000) = 0.500000
InvSqrt(10.000000) = 0.316226
1/sqrt(10.000000) = 0.316228
InvSqrt(2.000000) = 0.707107
1/sqrt(2.000000) = 0.707107
InvSqrt(100.000000) = 0.100000
1/sqrt(100.000000) = 0.100000
InvSqrt(0.100000) = 3.162266
1/sqrt(0.100000) = 3.162278
Doesn't look too "wrong" to me.

There is nothing there on the current version of the google maps but we may be able to see it in the future.
Are they the same nerve cells that get excited when you hit them with a hammer?
I wonder if YDL comes with a rootkit preinstalled or if you have to buy and play a Sony music CD first?

Uhm, Firefox is GPLed.
Hmmm, my RAM is full of stolenllamas.

You can upload an image. Go to the site and click Image rather than sketch.
Not anymore it's not!
My install experience with gentoo took less time than that and I spent 3 days figuring out that my motherboard was defective.
It would seem that Guido is not religious. There is a quote at http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/classic/message3555 .html stating as much.
