So I read digg pretty much every ten minutes or so. The other day there was a story on openoffice, and how people still switch back to MS Office after using it blah blah. Bottom line is this: In six years at the university of michigan, at no point did I ever use MS Office for any project, correspondence, or recreation.

So if it is good enough for literally hundreds of assignments, ranging from Liberal Arts to Engineering, how do these people feel the need to switch back?

I have seen this argument come up more than I would like recently, the bottom line is: .999.. with an infinite amount of repeating 9′s is equal to 1.  This is a mathematically proven fact, and yes anything is disputable, but is not reasonable with something as fundamental as this.  My hypothesis is that under 1% of the internet understands calculus.

Talks about porting games to linux, how he got started etc. For those that don’t know, Ryan is responsible for the linux port of several games including unreal tournament, america’s army, and postal. He worked at Loki games, and also is responsible for most of libsdl.

Also as my quote of the week, my AI professor Dr. Maxim, had this quote (I just found it by watching the lecture): “Beer is the only beverage for a computer scientist, lets be honest about it”.

It is very import that everyone who doesn’t understand the fuss about network neutrality and it’s implications on the future of the internet to visit save the internet.
