I would assume that the amount of energy required to part the earth and moon would likely heat both through quite thoroughly; perhaps some amount of each and better allowing them to take a sherical shape without a gaping would.
Thinking about it makes me think of a lava lamp:) the moon is just a blob of goo that departed from our larger blob.
To counter you thought: Cisco's IOS comes to mind in that (at least in my limited experience with it) it never auto-saves your configs. If you make configuration changes they take effect immediately, but unless you copy the running config to the startup config (ie: save it) then power-cycling the device will revert any changes made since the last save.
"Drunk driving is a choice, a violent crime and it is also 100 percent preventable." Yes, but killing pedestrians, cops, other motorists, and doing swan dives out your windshield @ 80mph when sober is just fine in the game--that's all unavoidable!
The only advantage I've found to a glossy screen is the ability to easily clean them. My work laptop gets abused by other people poking my screen all the time, and a quick wipe with a glasses-cleaning-cloth can get it back to spotless in next to no time.
I just purchased a T61 from Lenovo's Outlet and have very few qualms. I'd heard the LCD wasn't as bright as many would like, but it's every bit as bright as the Gateway M-685E that I've been using for the past 18 months.
The ThinkPad is a killer machine, and my favorite aspect is the cooling. There's not really any intakes on the bottom of it, so having it on your lap won't turn you into a eunich.
One note: My T61 (with a Seagate Momentus HDD) is affected by the Load_Cycle_Count bug under both Linux and Vista, you'll likely need/want to use Notebook Hardware Control if you're intending it to be a Windows machine.
Don't get me going on Qdoba, I ate there so much as a student they sent me a sweatshirt for being a top-10 customer. MMmmmm makes me want a 1/2 chicken 1/2 steak queso burrito w/ verde & habenero salso, green tabasco cheese and sourcream, all grilled and busting at the seams and what not.
*hungry now, thanks!*
I've been addicted to popping bubble-wrap since I was a kid. Put me any where near the stuff and I twist, tear, and jump on the stuff to the point I exhaust myself and forget to keep up relationships or do my work (I used to be a shipping clerk, that was a bad idea).
Since it's been seen as so innocent for so long though people won't see the dangers, so I believe we should warn people of addictive inventions. Lets be the Amish 2.0 and say "good enough" to things right now!
Am I the only one who thinks that if a handful of businesses within a small area install these then their effects might bleed-over? What if there's a business a block from a child day-care? What about noise pollution? If I lived near one of these (I'm in my 20s and can hear it fine) I would be calling the cops about it driving me nuts.
Back to the range question though, in a downtown location with lots to echo off of how far would this sound travel? Would it possibly black-out an entire area? What about kids travelling nearby to these, say on their way to school?
Perhaps if they could very tightly focus the sound and ensure that it disipates within the landowner's property it could be acceptable, but as is it sounds as though this would be like my grandmother sprinkling mothballs around her entire block just to keep mice out of her basement closet.
Try this in reverse, someone engineer a device that bugs the hell out of senior citizens (for the purpose of, say, keeping them out of self-checkout lines at the grocery store) and see how well that goes over.
I understand some business want to drive off adolescents, but maybe they should consider trying to enforce local ordinances against loitering if they exist.
I work in an agile development environment where our application is a network-distributed thick-client program. We are in constant communication with out end users, and when issues are reported at least 1 developer (more as needed) is placed explicity on the issue at hand.
Many small issues are commonly released to our users in a matter of hours, larger problems requiring in-depth diagnosis are typically released within a small number of days, and only problems with elusive resolutions require longer than a week. It's not uncommon for us to be working on an issue less than 15 minutes after the report comes in--and the beauty of it all, all it takes for our user's to receive the updates is a restart of our application.
It's wonderful to be able to call up a user, say "we've found the bug, could you restart the program and try it again" and have the problem finalized in moments.
The application we are replacing with this one however was a different story. It has issues reported years ago that are backlogged to be released in future versions. There's often vastly more documentation than code for the fixes, and it's astonishing what sacrifice in quality a manager will accept as long as there's a plan to resolve it within a decade.
But how do you hide an access to say,/proc/interrupts? You need to spell out the filename, and there's got to be an open or fopen for it somewhere
I beg to difer. A skilled programmer with malicious intent can be incredibly stealthy. While "good" code would likely just open a file by its full name, "bad" could would likely obfuscate it beyond recognition.
Here's my reason for hating it: it would cost me at least $500 to upgrade and put it on my PC to do _nothing_ that XP or Ubuntu can't do.
Aero--fuggedaboutit--I've kept the 2000 style on my XP machines since I got XP. Aero is a waste of system resources with no usable benefits. It's show! It's like a Geo Prizm with a wing on it, looks sharp but really just slows you down.
So why do I _really_ hate Vista? Going from 98 to 2000 added a plethora of control and functionality, 2000 to XP wrapped much of 2000's functionality into easier to use and cleaner packages. XP to Vista.... uhhh, I got nothing.
Want to know what Vista is? It's a panicked attempt by MS to cover their multiple failures in developing their next-gen OS. It's common knowledge that at multiple points during it's development they had to scrap huge portions of the OS because they couldn't make their next-gen OS work. So what did they do? They took waht they had working and raced for the finish line, throwing efficiency and innovation out the window in place of putting a resource-intensive facelift on some minor modifications to the OS that everyone already has.
Will I ever get Vista? Sure, whenever it gets shoved on me. First I'll turn off Aero, then out goes the UAC. Then comes out the Ubuntu disc for me to use for everything but gaming.
...no...
Neuros is _hardware_ whereas MythTV is _software_
Granted, Neuros has and uses software, and with external storage could perform functions similar to MythTV. But it is much much broader than MythTV.
I'm in total agreement. Everything has a lifespan: us, earth, our solar system, our galaxy. For human kind to survive we will constantly have to expand to new planets/galaxies/colonies that have a longer "fuse" than our present ones. This is of course looking very very far forward.
Amen brudda! If I were at Chernoble for the big bang, I would have wanted to be the guy they peeled off the ceiling--not the people who melted into the hospital beds.
"Requiring" is the wrong word here...
I understand what you're saying. Manufacturors ship routers unsecured and wide open by default, a practice that most people (not geeks) will likely never notice. The problem are the average folks who don't know the functional differences between a router and a Roto-Rooter®
When Joe Schmo wants to setup wireless for his kids computer, he wants to plug it in and have it work. He doesn't want to plug it in, and have to configure each PC to use the hidden SSID of "brand_98239292" with the WPA AES key of "Kj89J*J(*OPIj&*yuh^&tr67Ryug%^r0)(IHF5e%ryuGjoH*( IhjIGyR%r^*ioH89Y&*gYFd5DyuGUtg("
One solution is to move the keys to firmware on the wireless cards, and ship bundles that include a router and 1 or more wireless NICs that are pre-set to talk exclusively to one another. This would most likely be too difficult to implement under any of the current specs though (as SSIDs & keys are held by the OS at present - not firmware). Of course this solution would also mean that a person would just need to grab your wireless card to access your network--but that is quite a bit more difficult than just running NetStumbler and pressing "connect."

I was asked if I knew the difference between an engineer and a scientist... which I couldn't clearly define.
The answer? A scientist creates the tools for an engineer, and engineer uses existing inventions to create a usable product.

GMail storage anyone? It lets you use your GMails many GB's of storage as a network drive. 500 fixed MB is pretty paltry in comparison...

Survive a nuke, I suppose. But in the time it would take radiation to die down I think the chances of a rain would be pretty good.
