Let S S be the number of ordered pairs of integers ( a , b ) (a,b) with 1 a 100 1 \leq a \leq 100 and b 0 b \geq 0 such that the polynomial x 2 + a x + b x^2+ax+b can be factored into the product of two (not necessarily distinct) linear factors with integer coefficients. Find the remainder when S S is divided by 1000 1000 .
