These days, you do far better using the open source Cygwin platform
(created by RedHat), to get a (sort of) posix compliance on
Windows. Its pretty good, and makes using Windows bearable, but still
has numerous gotchas. There's my blog on the topic, for instance:

Nick: here's the paper Russell mentions below:
http://arxiv.org/pdf/nlin/0101006v1.pdf
Russell: is the paper a summary of the book? I realize that's out of
order, the paper came first.
Maybe we should finally chat about it here?

Steve,
I think the Rainbow is still in my attic in Massachusetts!
So, when you are getting together your Museum of Computer Arcania, you can
have it.
There's pretty much a decade of correspondence up there on disks that
nobody can read, any more. Good thing none of my students ever

Just to tie two threads together (why not after all?), I'm just now
reading Russell's paper as produced for us by Owen, and I'm left with
the niggling feeling that they have a strong theoretical connection

No - the paper came first, by quite a number of years. Also the paper
Why Occams Razor, which also feeds into the book.
The paper The Importance of the Observer in Science, which I presented at the
peculiar Two Cultures conference, is indeed a summary of one of the
main themes of the book.

Hi,
My Dell Studio (yeah, yeah, save the Mac cracks) has been cranky of late,
particularly when streaming stuff, and since I am reluctant to put out a
couple of hundred dollars to have it tuned up, I have been trying to see
what I can do on my own. This has led me to the resource monitor, a

I would look at the RAM (memory) consumption first. If you can avoid filling

run a lot better. Easier said than done! But finding these background tasks

What flavour/version of Windows are you running and how much RAM do you

Try Ctr-Alt-Del and see if a Task Manager pops up. If so, click on

Not sure I quite understand the situation, but CCleaner has a utility to

Didn't you ever come check out our NanoEngineering workstation? The
Falcon Haptic feedback device hooked up to a GPU-Accellerated molecular
dynamics simulation and stereoscopic display(s)? Next time you are in
ABQ...
The MASTERS Program at the community college has one (a tabletop version).
The samples they give you are graphite and a CD, but I will suggest trying
floppy discs. We are just now getting the kinks of using it out.

What does it take for a civilian to get their hands on this? What is
the MASTERS Program? Who manages it?
Is this one of those things where the best way to get access is to
sign up for a class? Seems like they might be interested in the
Virtual AFM NanoEngineering workstation...
Perhaps it is called larding because it is a more acceptable version of
spam? Although the only similarities are that both are content one might
not read (then again, one might). See *bacn*.
