Owning an iPod and knowing how to download music doesn't make one a geek, that's just common knowledge nowadays. I hope the GeekBar is a bit higher than that.
You're in the same boat as myself, I'm thinking they may work under OpenBSD's Linux emulation but it's an expensive gamble. Our LTO2 library at work is in an SGI Origin 3200 so I can't just pop it out to try.:)
RAIDed disks are important, but offline backups are necessary if you put any value on your data.
... buy an LTO2 or LTO3 tape drive. LTO2 can be had for ~US$1.5K and can hold 200GB per tape before compression. We have a 14 tape LTO2 library here and it makes my backup work a cinch.
putting one more nail in the coffin of Intelligent
Design
To any rational person, ID's coffin is more nail than
wood. Of course the creationists will huff and puff as they grasp to
whatever straws they have left.
"if". Being that leadership of government is being determined, I'd prefer the actual cast ballots be counted. Canada does it in a few hours with 1/10th the US population (and the public can view the count I believe)
[T]he machine must generate a complete paper ballot showing all votes
cast by each elector that is visually verifiable by the elector before he or

And how do we know that the prinout
matches whatever counter is incremented within the computer? Being open
source makes it tamper-resistent, not tamper-proof. Would it not be easier
to just use a paper ballot in the first place? Then any recount could be
performed against the actual ballots cast, not as a spot check against
computer (glitches|fraud).

Canada (also part of North America) has Thanksgiving a few weeks before the US.

I salute you.
how different is dressing up for a Star Trek Convention and a Football game?
You won't get home from the convention with hot-wing sauce smeared on your face and Bud spilled down your uniform.
Your comment and mine below start eerily similar... do you have a camera installed in my office? [/tinfoil_hat]
Not true.

wow my memory is screwed up. I wrote Rodona Garst (a spammer) and meant Rhonda Clarke (the woman who complained about goatse.cx)
What can we do about people like Rodona Garst and her abuse of the

Oh, for sure. The RAID comment was directed more at Taco. If LTO tape units are within the means of mere working folk such as us...

Here in Canada pot is pretty nearly legal. Small amounts get you a wee fine, no jail time or anything silly like in "free" countries. :)
... they have some good pot seeds frozen. Why should post-apocalyptic pizza stores go bankrupt?
a) not everyone can access port 8090 from behind a firewall.
b) It's Stanford. Do you really think they're lacking for bandwidth?

For those who are interested in how Creationists sleazed ID into school and government I heartily recommend Creationism's Trojan Horse: The Wedge of Intelligent Design. Fascinating and scary book. A 'primer' from the authors can be found here.
That's not the Open Source way!
Make a downloadable PDF and a PayPal donation page. After all, the people who did all the work actually writing OOo are giving it away.
Haha!!

New formats won't play in current DVD players. Dual layer burners are the norm but the media is still far too expensive for everyday use.
The more things change, the more they stay the same...
