Personally, I think they should have stuck with the "Halfdome" name for the single cabinet boxes, and reserved "Superdome" for the multi-cabinet boxes.
Put two (or more) halfdomes together, and you get a Superdome? Makes sense to me.
The Van Dyke Park wasn't across from the golf dome. It was across from the White Castle. It was actually closer to the GM Tech Center than the golf domes.
Personally, I thought it was a good hotel for cons. The furniture could be quickly disassembled, and reassembled with simple tools, by getting a suite; you had a private room plus place for friends to crash, and when you got hungry at 3:00 am, Telly's was right down the street.
The new location is pretty good. I know that area well, because the local HP training center used to be right behind the hotel. There are decent places to get food; Although last year I remember we drove all the way to Noble Fish to get some sushi rather than eat much locally.
I know from the Tiger-2004fe dataset that the street address should be along that section of road. From the pictures that are out there, it looks like it might be it.
It's hard to tell for sure. It might be the one to the north, which was still under construction as of 2002-04-10.
Looks like a pretty nice area, although since the wooded area behind it appears to be floodplain/swampland, I'll bet there are a lot of annoying bugs during the summer.
A regular vacuum does not block reads or writes. It does block changes to the table definition, so you won't be able to add, delete, or change the type of fields while it is running.
Running vacuum full or vacuum freeze do lock the table while they are running, but the need for vacuum full can be avoided by running vacuum before the free space map fills up, and vacuum freeze is only needed to prepare a read only database so that it never needs to be vacuumed again.
I have a page that redirects visitors to a randomly selected site (I use it as my start page).
Before I added a robots.txt blocking all crawlers from indexing it, I saw lots of hits from people who had been doing google searches.
At one point, it looked as if it had redirected to a movie bit torrent index when the crawler had hit it, because within a day or so I saw a few thousand people hit the page from google with search terms such as "Constantine Torrent".
For example, until a couple of days ago, every copy of nautilus maintained several copies of the desktop background in memory, so there's an instant 10-15 MB penalty per session.
Back in the 2.2.x days, there was a project called mergemem.
It was a set of kernel patches, and a daemon which would walk through pages resident in memory, and merge those which were the same into a single copy on write page.
I have to wonder if it would be worth resurrecting, as many applications today are getting rather bloated, and it's likely that they are caching the same data in several places.
I work 12 hour night shifts, alternating between 3 and 4 days a week; I have worked this shift since 2001.
The two biggest things to remember are:
Take breaks

I keep a copy of xwrits running on my workstation. When it goes off, I go run up and down an eight story staircase a couple of times before going back to work.
It's worked out pretty well for me over the years.
In FreeBSD you can configure the behavior of malloc by symlinking the file/etc/malloc.conf to the options you want.
For example, on my main FreeBSD box it looks like this: lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 3 May 13 2004/etc/malloc.conf -> HZA
H: have malloc generate hints for the kernel as to which pages should be paged out first.
Z: Zero pages during both allocation and freeing, and always reallocate memory when requested.
A: Abort processes on any warnings from malloc.
Discover seems to keep pretty close track of my card.
Every time I've placed an order of more than a couple thousand $ from an online merchant, I've gotten a phone call within a few minutes to verify that I still have the card.
I've been called after I've bought gas outside of the area I normally travel in.
They turned my card off once, after a gas pump reported it as a counterfeit due to some sort of read error. (I didn't have my cell phone with me at the time).
I've also had to deal with their fraud department 5-6 times over the past few years, to take care of places that double/triple charged me for things, and every time (even for a double charge on a $5k server) I had no problem getting the charge taken off.
Zooming out a bit, and overlaying the 1984 topographic map on top of the 1988 B/W USGS photo, I get this view which looks like that point used to be in a field next to the building, but when it was expanded (sometime between 1984 and 1988) that location was enclosed in a court yard.
The nearest benchmark is HV4826 which is reported as being destroyed in 1984 - probably during the expansion of the building, so I would say it happened early in that timerange.
There's something very odd about that benchmark record. Check out what it says the underground mark was.
I picked up a Ngage-QD over the summer ( Cameras are forbidden where I work, and it's the only phone I could find with the features I wanted, but no camera) and I've been very happy with it as a phone.
As for the games? Well, Rayman 3 is a nice platformer, and Pocket Kingdom is a real time sink, but besides that nothing has really caught my eye.
I bought mine because I needed a modern phone without a camera (if you get caught with a camera where I work, you are terminated on the spot) and it was the best choice I could find.
I have picked up a few games for it, but that had not been my plan. Rayman 3, and Pocket Kingdom are now soaking up quite a bit of my free time.
It's the opposite way for me - if software is unable to deal with an arbitrary directory layout, it is broken and is unusable for me.
Software should not care about how you have your filesystem laid out. If it does, this is a bug, and should be fixed.
If I want locally installed software to go under/lopt/ or under/0b/ or under/sw/ that is my decision.

Think about it - https is encrypted end to end - how do you proxy it?
Typically a proxy that supports https supports opening a direct connection between the local client, and port 443 on the remote server.
By running a SSH server on port 443, and by using a client (such as putty) that can send a CONNECT request to a proxy, you have a pretty good chance of getting the ssh session established to the outside world.

Assuming that this is the Prairie island plant, I can see why the local tribes would be upset, especially by how the reservation boundry jogs over to make room for the plant.
If the holding tanks are the structures south of the main building, it looks like they are using river water to help keep things cooled down. I hope I'm wrong, but even if I am, it looks like the island is only at most 10 feet or so above the river. Even if there isn't a direct channel from water used for cooling, waste materials would not have very far to travel to make it to the river.
At least it looks like they've been doing a good job of keeping everything contained - I don't see any records of spills or leaks that have been considered for the NPL in the area.
What's more likely is that the phone reps are penalized for canceling accounts, so he made up an excuse to get you to call back on a day when he wasn't going to be working.
Lots of street names show up hundreds, or thousands of times, all over the US.
Main shows up just under 10,000 times
Washington shows up just under 6000 times
However there are quite a few which only show up once ( Analog for example), or all of the streets with that name are concentrated in a small area (take hells gate as an example - they're all near each other in Texas).

Why would they need to go to the state?
Back in 1999, when I needed cheap individual health insurance fast, a DNA sample was one of the requirements of the insurer I went with.
They were pretty much my only choice at the time, as they had FAR better coverage than the other insurers in my price range.

I was surprised that the standard BitTorrent server does not have some way to prevent unwanted torrents from appearing on your tracker.
Of course BitTorrent has a way to restrict the torrents a tracker will serve.
You set --allowed_dir and point it at a directory containing the torrents you want to allow.
I know it's been supported since 3.4.1a at the latest.
