Just for the record--
Last time I added RAM to my G3 B&W (same basic enclosure, flip-down-door mounted logic board) I went for speed, just to see. Not the safest thing in the world, but I'd been drinking...
Anyway, measuring from powerdown to powerup I added two sticks of PC100 in 27 seconds.
I was legally a female for 5 years because of a similar mistake. When I went to get my driver's license when I turned 16, the DPS clerk typed F instead of M, and voila, I was female. They couldn't correct it because in Texas it takes the act of a judge to change your sex on a legal document.
When Texas transitioned to it's new license format, they apparantly decided that instead of migrating the database, they'd just have the clerks reenter everyone's information as they came in for renewal, and this time the clerk got it right, and just like that, my manhood was restored.
Weird, huh? I've still got a copy of my old license around here someplace.
Yeah, it's a cost issue. Russia has lots of ICBMs for which it has little or no use. (They're getting old and will need to be scrapped anyway for reliability reasons, they need to be destoyed for strategic arms control treaty reasons, whathaveyou. I just pulled those out of my ass, but you get the idea.) Or they just don't really need that one extra warhead aimed at Kansas City, and do need the money that someone is willing to pay for a sub-orbital space shot. Anyway, it's pure profit for them, since it was built when cost wasn't an issue and is now useless, so it comes cheaper than a brand new Proton.
I am writing to express my disappointment that Adobe would have a person arrested for pointing out flaws in one of it's products. I refer, of course, to the case of Dmitry Sklyarov, who gave a lecture on eBook security at the recent DefCon security convention.
As a customer who cut my chops on Illustrator 1.1, it saddens me to think that Adobe now cares so little about the quality of it's heretofore-excellent products that it seeks to harrass and intimidate those who point out their weaknesses. Some will call it 'hacking' since it involved disabling a security routine, but I see it for what it is - pointing out a flaw in a product. I am thankful to him that he exposed a weakness, thus protecting me from it.
Any company that would have someone arrested for protecting me can no longer enjoy my business.
Watch carefully. In real dollar terms it can't go much lower, but this close to zero even a small downtick can wipe out a lot of equity.
If your intent is to buy Redhat, buy it after it has begun to trend up, and after it has a down day. And decide beforehand exactly how much you are willing to lose and place a stop order for that amount at the time of purchase. If you are right and Redhat continues up, move your stop order up along with it, to protect your investment. It's too low to the ground to not to be super cautious.
And for the love of God, please don't interpret this as investment advice. It's not investment advice, it's merely a suggestion of things to think about and study before you make any investment decisions.
Dude, you're good, but your still not quite up to MEEPT!!! standards.
Try a little less ideology, and spend a little more time crafting 'a-ha' moments which really give the impression that you know what you're talking about.
Here's the thing to remember about 'remaining reserves' calculations. They aren't based on the amount of oil in the ground, they are a purely economic calculation based on the amount of oil that can be extracted profitably at a given price.
This figure varies widely based on the input variables, and so it's always necessary to get and present those numbers along with the conclusion.
Worldwide, the reserves figure hovered just below 10 years for most of 90's. Hence, it's no real surprise that oil prices have trended higher.
The source for all this is Dr. Clement Henry's Politics of Oil class at the University of Texas at Austin, which I took 7 or 8 years ago. Trust me when I tell you that UT is a good place to learn about the oil world.
Glenn got his second ride because his first, while vastly more important from a Cold War national pride standpoint, was pretty boring by astronaut standards. He sat strapped in a capsule for a couple of hours and then splashed down. The only excitement was the speculation of whether he'd die or not on re-entry because of heat shield damage.
Sometimes, you give old heroes special treatment. I have no problem with that.
But they made the jump from 8 to 16 to 32 relatively easily, and with technically superior competition above them at every step of the way.
They'll make the jump to 64-bit.
Does this mean we're fucked? Hardly, it just means that we actively work to get around them, rather than relying on the architechure change to do it for us.
Biometrics are scary, they make people nervous. No one wants a retial scan to read their email. We just need to make sure that we build and support open components for competing implementations and services. If anything saves us, it'll be that. The open standard almost always wins, because the

RE: soundapp - Norman works his ass off, best I can tell. I'm just happy he's still updating the code all these years later.
Also, could you post a link to your version of DropMP3? I'd really like that kind of control.
Not that I have a problem with that. It's one of the best feature articles I've ever read. Damned good book, too.

Solar sails do NOT use the solar wind for any signifigant portion of their impulse. They use light.
Photons hit sail. Photons impart energy (mass x velocity) to sail. Sail goes one way, photons go the other.

Split-adjusted, The share price got to ~$75, and is now around $20.
Of course, split-adjusted, M$ bought that stock for about $5-7. Everyone likes a 300% profit.

Do you think it's gross? Does it make you nervous?
It's just a part of being female, or are you part of the 'eve's curse' crowd, who see it as evidence of original sin?
When it's my turn to do the laundry, I stainstick my wife's panties and go on with my life. No big deal.
