Far from the impact crater a *lot* of vegetation survived - this is what destroyed earlier theories about a worldwide fire (it was actually quite localized).
The nuclear winter theory has been challenged more than once, but the alternatives aren't so convincing (the two-asteroid theory for example).
No, it's just broke... it won't find some things that are there sometimes.
VS6 and VS.NET use the same algorythm - you can search for things and have it miss things you know are there (sometimes that are on the screen in front of you).
The DPA stops you storing information you don't need - eg. a shop couldn't ask about a criminal record. It doesn't stop you storing business related information... that's why all the shops have store cards, so they can track your purchases (they track returns on these too).
You can however return anything for *any* reason within a certain time (7 days I think), and if its defective within a 'reasonable' amount of time (A court ruled 18 months is reasonable for a TV, for example).
OTOH Things like demanding ID won't fly here... a lot of people don't carry any, and there's considerable resistance to any form of mandatory ID card.
Research is *not* throwing the entireity of modern physics down the toilet and making assumptions.
It comes from a theory, with results, based on sound science, then published. Nobody laughs. Until such time as the results or the tests turn out to be unrepeatable (Cold Fusion anyone?) then you're likely to get a little snickering...
(Darwin had this problem, btw. - evolution was a really crazy idea to suggest at the time - in fact he avoided publishing for years because he thought he would be ridiculed (still not sure about the idea of the bear falling into the sea and becoming a whale....:) he did get some things a bit off....!). In time, though, his theories we shown to be based on sound science and have become mainstream.)
These crackpots just want to grab headlines. If they're so convinced this works they can email me by root password. Should be easy, just grab it directly out of my brain.
Actually New Age and modern charsismatic evangelicalism have many of the same roots (basically they're the product of early post-modernism). Things like the veneration of subjective experience over objective facts - 'I can feel sense the spirits of the dead' is very close to 'I can feel the Holy Spirit in this room'. They're treating subjective feelings as objective facts.
Traditional evangelicalism is more like you describe. This was a product of the enlightemnent - everything must be proved/explained - so you'll find those kinds of christian more 'bookish' and generally reject experience as a means to understand anything.
Interesting society is still changing - I've been to churches where dogma is almost anatheama and everything is debated and reasoned out, and it's not uncommon for everyone to have a completely different opinion - my own feeling is that will be mainstream within 20 years (at the moment it's a few hundred 'emerging' churches), as society is already a long way along that road - you can see it in slashdot between the 'QT might be true, you never know' and the 'this is bollocks' type of people, getting into arguments about how it's wrong to say anything is bollocks just based on solid scientific evidence...
In reality the CIA looked at it and were shocked at what utter bullshit it was. Sure, they spent some dollars, then stopped. There is absolutely no need to try to more dollars to disprove what has already been disproved many times.
If it became *too* rigid it would shatter. Not rigid enough and it would stretch and probably not save the wearer from fatal injury.
You would need something with the tensile strengh of titanium that could be woven like nylon. I'm not sure it's impossible (I've a hunch if you did the maths it would be though) but probably beyond modern technology.
The CD that came with the device was fubar, so I went onto the site only to be greeted with a notice to use my original installation CD. I called support and they basically said I was stuffed.
Luckily the old Audigy driver worked... I never got the external box working. Ironically Linux handled it far better than Windows!
(yes I know you can download the drivers now - they eventually seem to have relented, however I since junked that card as useless and am not about to try a creative product again).
DAB seems pretty much dead (local stores have either stopped selling it or have it in the 'managers specials' at 80% off)... however if they could put one in a 5GB MP3/OGG player and keep the total price around the £100-£150 mark it would be a good product.
VMware GSX server isn't that much different from VMware workstation, except you don't need to run the GUI to boot the VMs - I have 8 VMs (including my main PDC) booting on a dedicated machine (it's cheaper to pay for VMWare GSX + a 2GB Shuttle than buy 8 PCs, by a long way). They all fire up on bootup, and the remote console lets me log onto them as needed.
I believe ESX server is something different, but having never seen it (you can't even get a demo without waving money in their face) I couldn't be certain.
Yes FFXI is being killed now because gill-sellers are camping the notorious monsters 24/7... since they drop essential items for certain classes it's getting near impossible to level beyond a certain point.
As a result players are becoming agressive, training monsters onto the sellers, and any innocent bystanders who get mistaken for them/have similar names, so it's getting really messy.
This is the kind of thing though that's probably inevitable when you have that whole spawn-camp thing.. TBH I think they should ditch it completely, but it wouldn't be that popular.
If someone finds a fun way around the grind they'll make millions...
I have an FFXI character (my wife is an ardent player) but I really don't have the time to level it... got rather stuck at level 5 TBH.. 30 minutes a week isn't nearly enough.
I can't party with her (she's level 70 and it took her 9 months @ 18 hours a day to get there).. all I've got to look forward to is months and months of levelling until I maybe don't suck so much.
There's absolutely nothing else to do until around level 20 when you can start doing quests... At my levelling rate that'll be the middle of next year!
A game that didn't have that grind would sell like hotcakes - hell, I'd buy it. Something that could be fun from day 1 not require the investment of your entire life to play it.
It's possible, but the available wireless VOIP handsets are 11b only and don't support WPA (both are showstoppers for me).
In the future I'm sure they'll become available.
I use my asterisk server to record incoming/outgoing numbers (the local telco wants paying for this service, although I have to pay them anyway for the callerid so I'm not sure I'm saving much), and to route calls over the cheapest provider (always analogue, as VOIP providers in this country are still 2-3 times more expensive than analogue ones) - which has saved me a fortune.
From the sounds of it they've already sold out. Notice the bit about working with the hotbar developers? What's the better the 'working with' involved large amounts of cash.
It means Spybot is the only real ad-remover left:(

Kismet had a WEP sniffer - that has issues that allow you to derive the key from the data.
WPA (with AES, preferably) is a lot harder as it's designed so you can't go that way around.. you have to bruteforce.
A 128 bit key is only 16 characters (you *do* use non-ASCII in your keys I assume?). I usually try to go to at least double that.

I had that with the Audigy II EX.

Even mobile phones have FM these days :)

It's really hard to kill dead people.
Because they, like..., um..., already dead?
Noo this is different.. Totally... really... They really added something this time.
Specifically they added "...with a computer" to the summary.
:)
If it goes to court all they have to to is produce that quote. Case dismissed - the plaintiff just admitted nobody infringes on the patent!
You don't want to find out that you're violating the patent. Triple damages.
The safest thing to do is to pretend they don't exist until someone tries to sue you. At least it'll only cost you 1/3 of the amount.
He actually wrote $10K a month.
Which is ridiculous on the other side.... $120,000 a year for an engineer???

Maybe not, but.
Pay 24k, sell 5 copies at 10k.
Profit!

I bought a batch of corsair to upgrade a couple of machines, as they're supposed to be a 'quality' brand.
Every single one of them failed memtest86 (8 sticks in total).
I sent them back, went out and got some cheap unbranded (what I normally used) which worked perfectly.
So branded memory isn't always better.
Spybot.
Spybot is good.
Adaware has done deals with spyware (eg. hotbar) so would'n't touch that one any more.
SpywareBlaster is new... I'll have to try that.
Hey, the one I replied to got modded down.. why? because it blew the whistle on ad-aware?
Moderation gets stranger every day here...
From the sounds of it they've already sold out. Notice the bit about working with the hotbar developers? What's the better the 'working with' involved large amounts of cash.
:(
It means Spybot is the only real ad-remover left
