Have you actually tried running your simulation for (simulated) four billion years? Don't you think that over a long period of time the various objects would act on one another to even their orbits out? That's the way I understood our current setup arose.
"...the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Genomes (SETG) Project..."
Sigh. I read that as "the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Gnomes Project". It's late. I'm tired. Perhaps I should stop coding now...
Almost any modern LCD or Plasma TV set has multiple inputs including, in my case, VGA. Problem solved. Even if yours doesn't have VGA, it will usually have S-Video, which is good enough for SD, and some will have DVI and component. In Europe, where I am, TVs will have one or more SCART inputs, which can be driven by VGA or S-Video with the use of a suitable inexpensive adaptor.
If the banks are really interested in security, though, why don't they give you a USB drive with a trusted browser program that generates your very own public/private key pair when you first sign up for online banking?
Good luck getting a bank that will provide you with a program on a USB key that runs under anything else than Vista...or just possibly XP.
You're a typical Slashdotter, no? Runs Linux|Mac|BSD|C64? How are you going to use that USB key? Wine?
Skype *is* P2P. I installed it last year to talk to my son, who travels a bit. Discovered it was bloated and slugged my machine, so got rid of it.
However, since then I get all kinds of IPs from all over the world battering against my firewall, specifically trying to connect to the port I allocated Skype.
I reckon Skype only uses central servers for the initial setup, then uses P2P for all further activity. It's leeching *your* processor and bandwidth!
... What many people fail to realise is that linen which is still a prized fabric is actually made from hemp and linen can last quite a long time...
I don't think so. Linen is made from Flax fibres http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linen as a simple wiki reference can confirm. My grandparents grew up in an area where flax was grown for linen production.
False dichotomy. You present two options: ultra paranoid verify everything; and verify nothing. There is in fact a third option: trust MS to publish a list of well established and trusted vendors, and trust those vendors to vouch for a sites authority. That is a third option.
And for most people it's the preferable option. If not, it would not be so. Yeah, well, you lost me at "trust MS".

This is exactly how Mir was built, and the first two segments of the ISS (the russian ones) were sent up and joined in that way too.
Do not look at goatse with remaining eye...
You do know that the two coins are supposed to be the same type, don't you?
How many Libraries of Congress is that?

How can it be prior art when Star Trek is ~300 years in the future?

You must be new here.

I've been using a keyboard for so long, my handwriting is unreadable, you insensitive clod!
More than 60,000 Windows programs won't run on Linux.
Good. That's 60,000 more I don't have to worry about.
Well, it's rather hard to invent something second.
Well, most people who submit patents to the USPTO don't seem to think so.
