it doesn't matter if you have a good wiring strategy. Most buildings have a pretty thick chicken wire that coats the walls, so wireless radiation will not travel far. You could probably have a few "uninvited" guests in the parking lot, but who cares? Nobody is going to sit in some parking lot just for some internet access since they're not going to be able to peek into the internal lan anyway.
Mod this up!
Smalltalk is by far the EASIEST language to learn and use. The only complaint I have of pst is that the systrap stuff makes some of the code less elegant as I would like. There's no language out there you can get started in under 20 minutes and finish a full blown pda app in under an hour.
I saw a live demo of Mark Yim's modular reconfigurable robots when I was an intern there. When I was there, they still seemed to have some trouble getting the robot to walk or crawl. It worked great as a wheel or a snake though.
I know Georgia Tech uses Linux for their OS and Embedded Systems course here. (Though I haven't taken the newly revised courses, when I took it we used solaris)
Doesn't waterloo have some kind of student jury system that you could appeal to? I know that we do (Georgia Tech) in case anything as falsified as this were to happen to me.
I mean, how do you steal credit card numbers off of port 25!!!
Let's hope the OSU police catch this criminal in the computer lab!

Description
about 5'10". Had brown hair and was wearing a t-shirt. He also wore shorts.
I believe Taco said that he was in Hell Act3. Some people refer to Hell as being Act4, but since he said Hell Act3, he probably means, Hell difficulty, Act3. If he's on hell difficulty, he's beaten normal difficulty and nightmare difficulty and have probably seen each of the movies twice already. Unless you just bought the game, chances are, you've already seen all 5 movies:)
The next catch...
Updating the kernel is like updating the bios...
on
Linux 2.2.17 Released
·
· Score: 2
I've been using my custom compiled 2.2.15 kernel for quite some time now. I have usb support using the usb-backport stuff so that my usb webcam and intellieye mouse works. I've got the pcmcia package so that my ethernet card and modem works. I use reiserfs and I have the appropriate reiser patch for this kernel revision. This is a laptop so I shouldn't really be concerning myself with speed issues since I'm the only user on the system all the time. Unless this kernel patches some major security holes, why should I get this new kernel?
Is there something new with this kernel or with the new 2.4 series of kernels that would want to make me compile a new kernel?
Bios updates for motherboards come out every so often, and people always feel the need to have the newest bios on their system. But if everything works perfectly, there should be no reason to flash the bios. If everything on my computer is supported by my current kernel, why should I feel the need to update my kernel?
Morphic in Squeak can already rotate arbitrary windows, resize them in any magnitude, and make anything transparent. But nobody uses these things because they're just eye candy. The programming interface for Squeak is good. Why not just make Squeak use the kernel's framebuffer driver and use that instead? At least Squeak has a userbase and a great MVC style programming interface...
I mean, Squeak is already works great on a x86 Linux box. Why in the world would you need a guy to port this over? In fact, it can probably exist in iopener's 16mb dataspace using a small linux kernel. I'm betting most of these guys just want a free computer.:)

Some how I just can't see someone irc'ing to EFnet and asking people there how to solve integral of log(x).
I don't think this student is a good representation of our school, Georgia Tech. At every school, there are stupid people you know.
Doh.... stupid me... didn't actually check out the link and realize it's from penny-arcade!

Python is not perl. If you want something close to python that is more mature, I suggest PocketSmalltalk.

...then it will be clear that those dual P233s are the fastest processors of all!
