well, negative motion of particles is still motion nonetheless. Temperature isn't so much an energy gain / loss of a system. That's flux. Temperature is more of a measure of the movement / vibration per arbitrary number of particles. Heat is the energy dissipated by these movements / vibrations.
Well, as a former computer science major at the University of North Texas, I recall that we did have a couple labs running only linux computers used more for school purposes, but if you were a cs student, you had access via putty / vpn into the lab. These included the parallel computing lab which was a networked cluster of about 20 dual-cpu machines, 10 servers using an NFS for shared data storage, and the entry-level class programming labs. The majority of our courses which involved actually turning in source code aside from a couple upper level classes oriented towards windows-based programming required that our source code compile and run correctly on the campus run linux machines. We also had numerous small computer kiosks running a very trimmed down linux-based desktop typically only set up for internet usage so we could access UNT's web system and all. I'd say it was fairly linux friendly, but not as much as some colleges?
Now, I do know a few people who attended the University of Texas in Dallas. I'm told that the campus actually has a dedicated public-usage linux computer lab. I thought that was pretty cool Whereas with UNT, aside from running on servers which only CSci/Eng students could access, you needed special permission to use the linux based computers. If I remember right, the entry-level lab was reserved for classes only, and you needed a name/password on the parallel cluster to access it via command line only.
I keep seeing all of these articles saying that new phones are going to revolutionize the way we see things. Where is my HUD at as of now? When can I expect to have a HUD showing my health bar and ammo without having to use a phone camera to see the world instead of my own eyes?
Wouldn't this be better to be made as a java library of some form that allows for java applets to have direct access to opengl in browser? It seems like java would be better for programming real 3d applications (read as games) than javascript...
After using the windows 7 release candidate for a few weeks now, I can say I already miss the taskbar and the ability to use a classic start menu from Vista.
you could try pictures of the olden day computers that took up entire rooms or buildings.
also you could try printouts of procedurally generated artwork. Artwork consisting of perlin noise can be fairly aesthetic.
I think the article does succeed in saying that because there are more male programmers, they are more at fault for bad code existing.
From the article's view, say there are 20% female and 80% male programmers. Say that 60% of code is poorly written and documented. This would then imply that women are responsible for only 20% of the bad code which would correspond to 12% of overall code, and the men are responsible for 80% of the bad code which corresponds to 48% of overall code.
This should make it OBVIOUS that a male's code has 4 times that of a female's code to be bad.
by this logic, we are killing our mental capacity by using a writing system to store thoughts on a physical medium. wasn't the original point of writing to catalog our history and make us learn more from it?
This is pretty old news now. I did a presentation over the current state of robotics in limb prosthesis back in January and this along with bluetooth-capable prosthetic legs had been around for a bit already.

I suppose you could say their database got the boot.
Wasn't all of the cool hype of the new taskbar crap in Windows 7 touted as being more touch friendly?

Well, at the least, it doesn't cost you an arm and a leg.
How long til somebody brings an eraser?
So does this mean that users who buy windows 7 retail won't need to wait for the service pack as they already have it?

service pack used to be free before.
Maybe that's why they gave it a number instead of a codename.
I wouldn't call 2 GB of ram very low-end.

ever heard of the 5 jew bankers. they're like that but for graphics.

Seconded.

Why didn't they just use a laptop disc tray that has the thing in the middle that keeps the disc in place?
What else would someone use a stolen laptop for?
I was particularly a fan of the AI in FEAR

so it turns into a bodybag when it crashes? that would be most excellent

so it's like diablo 2 controls?
Up, Down or not at all? What about a direction orthogonal to the direction of gravity for normal matter?

If this was theorized 37 years ago, shouldn't we learn about it in physics?
