Maybe I'm tripping, but isn't the frozen water at the north pole being artificially held there because it's frozen? When thawed I would imagine it would rise the sea level near the equator because of centripetal forces from the earth's rotation.
not many are useful for solving the article poster's problem though. I bet UDF is supported by all three platforms. How about write support to anything other than DVD's?
Why would Micosoft want to implement other filesystems? It wouldn't be very strategic of them if they did.
I like hyperphysics because they link the different areas of physics graphically. A map to knowledge is sometimes more helpful than the actual knowledge.
Luddite n 1: any opponent of technological progress
We aren't opposed to technological progress. I am opposed to the US Government using this new technology to enforce unconstitutional laws. Laws that our religiously influenced leaders consider immoral. Heather MacDonald needs to go back to her 'conservative think tank' and respect the privacy she has while it lasts.

It reminds me of how "Coke" has become a generic word for soda pop in some parts of the South. If you order a "Coke" in some sourthern establishments, the redneck bartender will ask you "what kind of Coke do y'all want? Orange? Pepsi? Root Beer?"
I havn't noticed this in Texas. If you order or Coke, thats what you get. The reason it's used so much is probably because so many people drink it. I use 'coke' because it's the path of least resistance. Everyone aside from Taco Bell has it. Maybe the bartenders I've run into haven't been redneck enough... who knows

I've read that underwater currents have a huge effect on the earth's weather. Anyone know if the Earth Simulator is taking measurements from these currents?
This is a tough decision. If a 17 year old is pointing a gun at you, what would you do? I don't think it matters what the individuals age is when that individual is wielding such power. After the crime has been commited, yes, special treatment should be applied (no method of prevention). Preventing an innocent death takes priority though. Either way, the outcome is bad and the scale seems almost even here.

Wouldn't this cause the earth's rotation to slow down? (spinning in the chair experiment). With super-accurate GPS and atomic clocks, I would think this would be measureable.

If they decide to base the hollywood movie on the original radio series, then there won't be a Disaster Area.
Instead of stealing Disaster Area's ship, they steal a super-evolving species' war ship. The TV series most likely changed it because they couldn't find a ravenous bug-bladder beast of trall in time. Read the Book or listen to the radio series (IMO they are much better).

great idea.
It would be neat to use the original radio broadcast for the audio... then just the animation would be needed. They wouldn't need to change the script to avoid the ravenous bug-bladder beast of trall. (like the tv series did)

The water beneath the ice has already migrated towards the equator to make up for it's fixed position on the pole.
I'm sure you knew that already.

I think that was code for something like an HTTP server.
like:
