Heck, even I like Uncle Bonsai.  The local college station doesn't play
"Penis Envy" any more, since the FCC fined another station for playing it.:-(
I wonder what they'd do about "Life Sucks and Then You Die" by a group

It may be that alt-alt does the same thing as alt-s.  I would try it right
now except that I'm not using DV since I'm on the laptop.  I've got DV on
this computer but have never gotten around to solving the problem of having
the bottom of screens cut off in DV.  So I don't use it.  Since I don't do
much uploading/downloading from laptop and have never attached a printer to
it, I don't find DV as important on it.

If its not, then I'll add more, can go up to 32mb on motherboard.

Thought the same about a 350 or 500 disk drive, but the increment was
too much.  Can add more later, and will start out with Stacker most likely
in one of the partititons on disk....probably where I'll put gifs and

Will see how it goes....

No apologies necessary -- I thoroughly enjoyed this tangent.

I hope you don't feel you've abandoned your first love by changing to CS.
There is a lot of cross-fertilization between the two disciplines.  The
department in which I teach is a joint one in Math and CS and wants to
stay that way.  There are many faculty who teach in both disciplines.

You might console your father by pointing out that you are more likely
to be employable with CS training -- I don't know if Indian parents are

A week or so ago, Tony Harminc asked about employers discriminating:

: Yet most western countries these days prohibit most discrimination
: in employment, and most people seem to support such prohibition.
: Is there a relevant difference between an organisation like the
: Boy Scouts and one like General Motors ?

General Motors would also have to pay a price for any discrimination
not justified for business reasons.  It would also be in violation of
the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972 within the U.S.  I'm not
aware of any economic studies of the costs of that act, or of its
benefits.  Its presence might make some people feel better.

'some people' have not interpreted it as a conspiracy.  The courts found

Then there's the conspiracy (again proven, in the British Parliament)
to fudge the figures in the investigation of the comparitive costs
of coal, nuclear power, and wind/wave power.  Wave power is a significant
asset which was suppressed in Britain to further the nuclear program
during a period when spin-off plutonium from reactors was needed to
fuel the British bomb programme.
