I know you were talking about floating point. That is why I said what I said using python code. It seems to be a concrete representation of IEEE-754 math. Also from my reading and understanding numpy is written by scientists that underst

I dont think you understand what it is like in some job markets. Once you are in an industry you might be able to sustain a career without certifications but how is someone supposed to break into an area when people only hire candidates wi

It doesnt work the same. On Ubuntu I have found that you have to log in first on the machine so that the vnc server starts before you can use a vnc client to connect. It kind of sucks to have to go tot he machine to login each time it is

Why do you think they are lying? Did the companies use not apply the grsecurity patches but claim they did? If they did apply the patches AND used the grsecurity trademark in their brochures what is the problem? They arent misrepresenting

I want to add something. I am sure that it will get obliterated by other people. I am not with anyone that uses grsecurity. On the one hand I can imagine nothing more bitter than other people making money on your hard work. However, isnt

If you do perl stuff there is Asciio http://search.cpan.org/dist/App-Asciio/lib/App/Asciio.pm may help on Linux. But Monodraw looks nicer and more featureful and easier to install on Mac.
