I'm kind of annoyed you have to shell out over $1000 for a developer CD just to get XCode3 running. Why not just allow Leopard pre-orders to ADC online members? Put in a CAPTCHA that makes you write a simple Java function if they don't want the general public buying it yet;)
I stayed at a Marriott hotel last week in Long Beach that used stayonline.net as there ISP, and the network was horrid. My colleague figured out after two days that the reason he was banned from the network was for using a non-US encryption standard for his SSH. Total bull. Also, file transers over a few meg seemed to be throttled like mad, making it almost impossible to upload pictures until after I got back home.
This being slashdot I doubt I would get an answer, but what is the smallest Symmetric group on n elements does this embed in, what is the smallest known number of generators, and what permutations on n elements are they?
Yeah. If this ever went to trial all the defense would have to do is show video clips of his Info Warfare lecture since they are taped for distance education courses.
It could. If you bought a large diversified portfolio of small caps you could dump them one at a time when the spam hits, and if the spam selloff really hits hard buy them back on the cheap.
Looks like they came up with long molecules using double bonded nitrogen and double bonded carbon atoms as bridges. Between these bonds they have different types of rings made mostly of carbon. I am assuming these rings act kind of like capaciters for storing electrons, but I am not a chemist:)
Bush Logic: 1. Prop up violent dictator "The Shah". (check) 2. Pay Saddam Hussein and give him chemical weapons to wage 9 year war against country. (check) 3. Shoot down civilian airliner in cold blood during the last month of previously mentioned war. (check) 4. Profit!???
Why? Of course an insurance company or hospital is going to have their own internal system for management and accounting. A centeralized repository for medical records just means they don't have to keep all records in house.
They can still keep their monolithic codes for everything, but documents they put in a patient's electronic file will be seen by other health care providers. Thus, they will be pressured to use standardized document formats instead of in-house formats which can take little advantage of open source (or any code from outside the organization for that matter).
Google or Amazon need to get into the healthcare biz. Don't put the application logic in the centeralized database. Make a simple authentication protocol. Don't try to structure it in any way. Just allow clients to upload new files with a timestamp and a unique medical practicioner ID.
Thus, if doctor A is using medical software A and doctor B is using medical software B they can store data in whatever format they want. Hopefully they will use some sort of XML and upload images in standard formats, but if they don't want to they don't have to. Same thing for the pharmacy. Same thing for the insurance company.
If there is something super-private a doctor could even upload some encrypted records, no problem.
Once the ceneralized database is in place writing the applications on top if it would be a lot easier.
The extra costs per unit would be griding a new lens/mirrors and the "shipping" cost into orbit. Other development costs would be incremental. Plus, we would have more eyes in the sky for research.
Also, along the lines of another poster a fleet of NOAA immaging satalites would rule. Think of a google earth type site getting a high res refresh of the whole earth each week.
Although this would be more of a project Gutenberg than a wikipedia thing, they should buy the early editions of textbooks. Many famous texts have 5+ editions, and it might even help sales if the first few editions were available free online.
If nintendo were to release the a PC version of the GUI this could mean big trouble for microsoft. The only reason I boot into "wintendo" is to play games. Who needs wintendo when you can run nintendo:)
So how do we tell the difference between an information market and gambling? Some would say sports betting is just a derivitive play on NFL/NBA team stocks.
From what I can tell in Iowa, "Bookmaking" is illegal:
"Bookmaking as used herein means the taking or receiving of any bet or wager upon the result of any trial or contest of skill, speed, power or endurance of human, beast, fowl or motor vehicle..."
So apparently corprorations in Iowa are not human, best, fowl, or motor vehicle.

I would make 3 copies. Give one to my state's attorney general, and one to each of my senators.
How about if you took it "modulo" powers of 2 or something. Are there any useful finite analogs?
http://modular.math.washington.edu/sage.html This was the "supercomputer"? A 16 node AMD box? Your local library's computer lab would like to have a word with them.

Best Buy to Outsource IT to Accenture
Best Buy reassesses IT Needs
Best Buy has a modest contract with Accenture (old Author Anderson) helping them re-design their IT. Coincidence?
If you want linux you probably won't like Dell's factory settings anyway.
They should just include a Suse CD and make a deal with Microsoft to include a CD with a 30 day trial copy of Vista.
Microsoft is happy, linux users are happy, everybody is happy.
And microsoft doesn't have one line of GPL infringing code? Har har. Mr. Balmer, please do show us YOUR code. :)
Since they are protected by copyright I see no reason why a court wouldn't make them show the code like Microsoft err... SCO has done to IBM.
It could. If you bought a large diversified portfolio of small caps you could dump them one at a time when the spam hits, and if the spam selloff really hits hard buy them back on the cheap.

Or "ATI" since this is a AMD post. :)
Nvidia, please make a board for solving small instances NP-complete problems. Mainly max-clique and graph coloring :)
Nice to know we are still on the copper standard :)

So why don't we have a hubble2 yet? IMHO NASA should send up a new version of the hubble every 2-4 years.

First RTFA because the poster was off. The article said students that were confident about math tended to do worse at it.
I find that the more math I learn the more I understand that there is a lot out there I don't know. (pull out the socrates qoute)
