There is only one way I know of to learn this shit... find a text that speaks to you and starting doing all chapters. I like a big heavy book for this. I hit Anton 6th edition when I went through.
The first time through a standard 1000 page book, read all, do the worked examples and every second exercise at the end of the chapter. The first time through you can skip some of the last few examples.
It is not as bad as it sounds. Do two hours each night and after a week your general problem skills will improve. You'll get faster.
After becoming proficient with multivariate integration with its applications it is time to go through the book a second time doing all worked examples and all problems.
Total time six months to one year depending on life necessities.
There are also some very nice caveats in some licensing documents that stipulate "no more than two instances of 'program' can be running on the same host". Not that they enforce it with flexlm just that is what they tell you, expect you to figure it out and police it.
Today's typical desktop computer runs multiple programs at once, playing music while the user writes an e-mail and surfs the Web, for instance.
"Responsiveness really is king," he said. "This is what people want."
If you can't get those few programs right on a single core, you are going to really suck at getting them going properly on more cores.
I realise M$ don't have much control over the third party programs but if they use a core to study the instruction loading/unloading patterns, cache/memory access patterns, etc of the core doing the work and self optimise that then they may have a chance.
I would bet linux has changed a bit since that 'old saying' making its point totally irrelevant.
Although I always thought that saying was bullshit in the first instance. What does Windows cost? $300? That is 3 hours of my time but does it do *everything* for me? Shit no! Not even close. I still used to have to tweak the crap out of it to get what I wanted. Linux is the same, as is OSX. Linux won in the end for me cause I could get it exactly the way I wanted a system to behave the fastest.
It was a saying that was dished out and pranced about by those who didn't want to upgrade their skills.
The managers where I work run around making sure they are up2date with it and processify everything. Where once upon a time if a problem arose you knew who to call, spend 5-10 minutes getting updates on personal lives and then sort out whatever problem was presented immediately after.
Now, primarily because of ITIL, the personal phone calls have stopped, problems go into a queueing system (ticketed - and the poor bastard on the Help desk had better have entered the ticket correctly) where it will eventually get sorted. Most cases not being classed as urgent because not everybody thinks it is, but it is always urgent to somebody. That person then resents 'the it department' because the incident took a day or two to be fixed.
There is more paperwork which means less actual work gets done. Management get to have their management meetings and have whole documents of incidents to show that their department did things by the book (but not actually solving anything because everybody was busy writing out documents and filling in forms).
This stuff is the reason why governments (and large organisations) have a bad rap.
I understand you don't like the result, don't worry, it only affects those who are religious. The American slant was what appears to be 'African American Women' and breast cancer. I need to be at work to do a much better check and get the exact papers.
I read somewhere just recently that apparently Americans have the worst survival rate with cancer because they believe god will help them more than what science will. That has a big effect on outcome.
My mum suffered a seven year death with cancer. It certainly didn't cost anywhere near that. Dad has just retired this week, I shit you not, with his new wife (of one year, mum died 2001) and is very healthy with money. Mum would have died in that first year without the excellent public health care system that Australia has (or rather, used to have).
You really need to focus on the important things and stop bitching about the little, meaningless crap.
Time to quit? I never got to have the 'now I'm older, what made you the person you are?' talk with my mum. Dad focuses on the future and won't talk about what used to be. Kids will eventually want to know.
Quit when you are sick of fighting or when your kids are ready for you to go.
I see what you mean but will it be like other parts of the computer? I do computation on CPUs, GPUs or FPGAs depending on what hardware is appropriate for the work that needs to be done. Is this similar?
You have data with certain attributes and store it appropriately.
I've taught a second year level mathematics subject where there was this really young kid in it. Sure he may have been a child prodigy but he definitely had a lack of maturity of thought. It was quite apparent.
He was also alienated. Given his 'peers' that is quite an accomplishment. Still, he walked away with one of the top results. Credit where credit is due. But there was nothing spectacular.
Sorry, but I'll always subscribe to the thought that you learn more at school than just the academic stuff.
I'll never forget taking a good friend of mine from England visiting Australia back to where I grew up. I was raised about 400 km west of Brisbane - essentially a whole lot of absolutely nothing. He just gawked at the night sky for about an hour. He'd never realised what was up there.
I live in an Australia city now, but when my kids get to the inquisitive age, I'll have to pack up and move back to the bush - I like north queensland... barrier reef.
We used to combine all sorts of nasty chemicals together as kids to see what would give a good bang. After many experiments we worked out which ones generally reacted together. Dad made sure there were textbooks lying around so we could work out what the reactions were and why (we were left to do this on our own - not forced to do so). We also built lots of electronics and mechanical contraptions from supplies we found and collected from the farm dumps. All kinds of shit really; No such thing as boredom.
I now have three science degrees; Mathematics, Computer and Organic Chemistry. Brother is an orthopaedic surgeon.
There is no way we could do that in the current environment where we live now. Too many nannies would get their panties in a twist. I do feel sorry for kids today. Kids will be kids.
Look, I think this stuff is kinda interesting, but you need to be very careful with information visualisation of geographical regions. And some of this information is a little misleading.
Some neighbourhoods are smaller in size (area) than others. If a neighbourhood is larger in area than another, a dominant colour (such as red!) will be highly dominant - not just because the movie is more popular - but because there is more red and the area is larger. This is a psychological thing; eyes are drawn to larger objects (yeah baby!) and we see fewer shades of red to blue (a physics thing).
Are the number of people in a neighbourhood more than another neighbourhood? How the borders are defined really needs to be stated. Using point sources of density would have been more appropriate (eg http://www.time.com/time/covers/20061030/where_we_live/
I could be full of shit as I've had a few white wines and we had a lovely 30 degree day out in the sun after a few weeks of cloudy rain.
For quite a while I was trying all sorts of these media players; trying to find the perfect one. After a few years, many dollars and countries (searching korea) later I discovered that they all suck in one way or another. The best thing? A simple ubuntu box with a logitech mini wireless keyboard.
If something breaks, or some new feature is required you can easily fix it. Once you have a working solution, just freeze it.

Any results since then?
My parents paid per semester A. I cleaned up. Parents were teachers.
Yeah, but Einstein was right you know. So you'll eventually replace that Bohring stuff with something more exact.

That sticks of tabloid journalism to me.

What's glib got to do with it?
It solves all sorts of portability problems.

Jesus I hate that ITIL stuff.

Listen to your doctor.
Dude, the work you do is not anywhere near as important as what you think it is.
Take a holiday!

If we get goatse (or whatever) I'm gonna be pretty pissed at nature.
Wow ... Troll. I would've gone insightful on that one.
I see what you mean but will it be like other parts of the computer? I do computation on CPUs, GPUs or FPGAs depending on what hardware is appropriate for the work that needs to be done. Is this similar?
You have data with certain attributes and store it appropriately.
I can see what you mean.
Try harder next time before you turn on the ignorance tap.
Or, hey boss? Is that you?

You can see so much that you see colours.
Yup. This poor bastard was never seen again.
