I thought theses were for MS degrees (dissertations for PhDs)? Just a nit I thought I would pick. The world of systems is vast (as is [U][URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_System_of_the_World_(novel)"]The System of the World[/URL][/U]), you might want to narrow your question a little.

I am known as a smart, witty intellectual - when asked what it takes to be an intellectual, I answer "to have someone around who is not one" I am also known as a grumpy old man and all I can add to that is that I am REALLY OLD …

That was the plot of a fantasy novel (I forget the author but his name begins with 'A' and all his book titles are puns) where the 'heroine' was cursed with a cycle that ranged from absolutely …

every once in a while FF will insert a local chrome address into my address field - this is the error: [QUOTE]Firefox can't find the file at [B]jar:file:///C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/chrome/en-US.jar!/locale/browser-region/region.properties[/B]us.ard.yahoo.com.[/QUOTE] I bolded the inserted text.

I have heard that accents vary by church bells in London (probably pre-tube),

I do not understand the need; there are sites that are dedicated to that run by professionals who dedicate their lives to the job. An amateur site would be prone to the "[B]warn all your friends[/B]" emails and just clog the system. Maybe a 'stickie' linked out to the pros …

I suggest [URL="http://www.kerryr.net/pioneers/boole.htm"]Boole[/URL]'s original paper; most of my computer-oriented friends go crazy for the copy I have.

Welcome Ahmed from Egypt. English is a funny language - the title you used for this post would more likely be used to advertise porn rather than express elation at joining a geek-oriented forum.

One of the methods I know have been used is to generate a pseudo-random # then move the decimal a pseudo-random # of places to the right and go to that location of the calculation of pi (see [URL="http://ja0hxv.calico.jp/pai/estart.html"]here[/URL] if you want the first 100 billion digits of π). Most …

Here is the trick to seeing those - put a piece of glass in front of the image and look through the image at your reflection - ie focus your eyes about 18 inches behind the image. This is how I finally got DW to see the image.

It was designed for a specific result - I could not answer most of the questions. So - here is the scientific answer, the LD50 for caffeine is 192 mg/kg (rat, oral). This means that's the dosage that will kill half the rats tested. How well this translates to LD50 …

When I was mugged on the subway in Paris, I lost my passport. Getting the replacement was a breeze because I had photocopied the original - in the interview, I was asked some interesting validation questions like: Creamy or Crunchy? I answered crunchy (you have to be pretty deep American …

We (LE, Morgan, and I) are taking I90 East to WI - is there a website/blog/twitter that watches things like construction or natural disasters to warn about delays? We took Morgan on a short trip to a friends house to see how she handles trips - went okay. I have …

Since ~s.o.s~ put a well-deserved end to a 1400 post thread (put a stake right through its tiny little heart) - I thought I would see if any one was interested in keeping the topic open. If you do not think evolution is a valid theory, why. If you think …

What are you smoking? I want some; sounds better than some of the acid I did in the 70s. If you have something to show us, do so - so far you have just been blowing smoke. Which 6th cent. rabbi said what about how many dimensions? That equidistant only …

The only time travel that programming will support is uni-directional - you will be older when you are done. There is nothing in Einstein's General ToR work that implies time-travel and everything in Special ToR that explicates that time-travel is impossible. The Einstein-Rosen Bridge predicts wormholes because Albert could not …

As the subject line says, I am playing with old tech. I want to use my palm as an mp3 player and am looking for a program that works on it. So far the only one that works on it is Real Player but I refuse to allow that spyware …

Truly inspiring! In the movie, Simon will take her glasses off, let her hair down and she will be suddenly gorgeous. She is the equivalent of Aretha Franklin - the voice overcomes all.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! er, is there a 'strikethrough' code? I thought not, sigh!

The reason that there would be no similarity is that each and every step was randomized right down to the whether or not the DNA would be left handed or right handed. Even given right-handed DNA with the same 4 components - there have been at least 4 'great' extinctions …

Don't you just love Aia - he adds nothing to the conversation but spite and bile but only sees this in others. When I have a message for a single person, I tell them - if they, then, want to complain about it in public; well, then I will publicize …

The quick answer is that FireFox offers Tabs (instead of opening a separate window for every website you visit, it opens tabs in the window you are in-- I hope I am clear in this.) The advantage of Tabs is that if you are doing research on a couple of …

Sorry, you have too many outside interests to become a true computer nerd/geek - you need to focus, stop going outside, eat more chinese takeout, drink lots of jolt, that sort of thing. Oh, welcome!

Hi! welcome.

The increase in computing power allows for the creation of smaller and smaller *precision* gates along with the use of newer 'doping' techniques like '[URL="http://www.freepatentsonline.com/5789771.html"]camel gates[/URL]' but you may also notice that they are now adding more processors to the cpu; my laptop has dual processors.
