I hadn't thought about your very good point. Even if that's the case, there's still no reason to require a phone number change. The existing number could be ported into the new CO (local number portability).

If the original poster explained the situation to a supervisor, any extra fees could probably be waived.

A lot of confusion arises when people attempt to do 3d graphics programming without the proper mathematical background in basic linear algebra. Christopher Evensen recently gave a talk covering covering the important fundamentals. The math is also accompanied by a real world programming example (yay 3d astroids!)."

holden karau writes: "Gigahertz are out and cores are in. Now more than ever, programmers must begin to develop applications that takes advantage of increasing number of cores present in computers today. However, up until now, multi-threaded development has not been easy. Researcher Stefanus Du Toit discusses and demonstrates a software system (RapidMind) he co-authored that takes the pain away from multi-threaded programming in C++. For his demo, he created a program on the PlayStation 3, consisting of thousands of chickens, each independently processed by a single processing core. The talk itself is interesting, but the demo is golden."

robacarp writes: "After three years of dedicated work researchers at MIT solved the 110 year old E8 math problem — thus simplifying the 248th dimension. The solution "took researchers two years of 'pencil and paper' work and one more for software writing before the solution could be tackled by computer" and produced "a file 60 gigabytes in size" in "77 hours on the Sage supercomputer." Sadly the article also puts it in terms we can understand: "The calculation created a file 60 gigabytes in size, enough to store music that could play for 45 days in the MP3 format."

In the present-day world it is getting more and more difficult for the Providence to help people make their choices — the Spirit of Luck is unable to influence search engine results. However, the weather and solar activity are still entirely at the mercy of the supreme forces. GoodLuckFinder.com picks a word out of your list according to unique weather conditions (the data comes from weather stations in real-time mode) or solar activity. The Spirit of Luck sees the words entered by you, insignificantly changes the weather (for instance, temperature changes by a few fractions of a grade) and tells you what your luck lies in."

What does this imply for the future of operating system development? Do we need to place greater emphasis on instant-on systems and ergonomics than previously?"
