Be careful with your language here. Zero isn't defined to be even; rather, it has the property of being even by way of the definition of an even number . Usually, this process involves making a conjecture and then proving or disprovin

You have two solutions: play the Amiga version in UAE or play the DOS version in DOSBox. Both will run the game almost perfectly. ... or if you're especially enterprising, I suppose you can play the C64 version under VICE. EDIT: There is a

It's a reasonable assumption given that Linux is almost 20 years old.

I hate being a pedantic dick about these kinds of things, but Fourier is spelled with a capital F because it's a proper noun. (It's the name of a badass French mathematician. Lagrange is another example, as is Cauchy.) Aside from that, th

I'm inclined to think that this is part of the reason why the computer security kids are focusing more on online games.

C++ actually used to be pretty slow back in the day, but that's more the fault of compilers that didn't optimize properly. That was about 15 years ago. (In other words, this guy missed the "C++ is slow!" bandwagon by a decade and a half.)

I already have an HP tx2500-series Tablet PC, and I adore it even given some of the manufacturing oversights I've noticed. That said, it's actually a pretty valuable tool for presentations and tutoring sessions with several people, and read

I took seven semesters of German in high school and managed to skip everything but one 300-level grammar course at university, but I appear more to be the statistical anomaly than the rule. I'm fluent when discussing matters that are mostl

When I'm away from a computer, I stick to loose paper products. For lecture notes, this means US Letter copy paper. For scribble notes, this means 3x5 notecards. I'm looking to get a sheet-feed scanner to digitize all of this eventually.

Given the positive reception of the Nintendo DS within the demoscene, I have the feeling that we'll be seeing sceners doing interesting things with whatever iteration of the hardware that anyone has handy for several years to come, much lik

I'm not really a huge proponent of e-learning since I'm very much a fan of sitting in a classroom and actually listening to a professor or teaching assistant give a lecture or lesson, but sometimes, I'm forced to interact with my university

The demoscene has a lot to do with the C64 being very much alive still as it is a coveted and respected platform for productions. Furthermore, demosceners are still pushing the limits of the hardware; case in point, see Edge of Disgrace by
