Don't know if this is up your alley, but a former student of mine turned an old satellite into a radio telescope. Got some pretty nice images of the sun and the galactic plane...

Where did he get the old satellite from?
Did this have anything to do with the SRT/Haystack project at MIT?
Build a radio telescope. Check out the Haystack project at MIT http://web.haystack.mit.edu/
I built one back in 2002 for a class project. ~$2000, but worth it. The software for it was written in Java.
Kittens are getting kind of expensive these days. They say the supplies are dwindling. We need to find clean non-kitten alternatives that don't depend on foreign supplies. Otherwise, our masturbation based culture will grind to a halt.
Citation please. If you're going to state that back ups is a euphemism for piracy, you're going to have to back that up with something.
Is backing up one's argument also considered piracy, or is it just a euphemism for piracy, or is it actually just a dysphemism for citing one's sources about backing up piracy?
MMM.. Milfs on linux..
I think we may have spawned a whole new genre of geeky pr0n. Personally I'll wait for "I_banged_my_friends_sister_while_she_recompiled_her_kernel.mpg".:)
I recompiled your mom's kernel!
Oh, and I have root access to your sister.
BAM!
Biometrics, of course. Fingerprint scanning, retinal scanning, voice recognition, or whatever. It's the only way to really verify. The problem is how expensive it would be to refit existing ATMs.
The trouble with biometrics is that it can't be changed. Additionally, the various ways have bad flaws:
Fingerprints are a terrible idea because you leave a copy of your private key on everything you touch.
Voice recognition is a terrible idea because everyone within earshot can hear your private key.
Retinal scanning would fail if someone was in an accident or had surgery or something.
I imagine it's a lot easier to type in a PIN stolen from a database than it is to, um, change your thumbprint or the pattern of the veins in your retina to one stolen from a database.
Perhaps I'm missing something.
Or you could just overload the fingerprint/vein-pattern/retinal data in the database with your own...or a dedicated patsy.
"Next" and "Back" buttons were too confusing for people who can't read, so they made this feature to help them out. Duh...
I can read Beowulf, but I can't read the words "next" and "back"...
Sounds like it's back to reading the weekly reader for this guy...
I believe thats what is generally called "rattling the bushes".....but what will come out? a paper tiger or a man eater? I cannot see the DOJ taking this lying down. President: Awwww, come back to bed, honey.
DOJ: But...they blocked me on wikipedia....I have to hack around it!
President: Rattle your sabre tomorrow! You're mine now! Grrrrrroowl!

Hamdingers. 'Nuff said.

SRT/Haystack project with MIT?

You're still 210 megawatts short though.
So, when do we go back to the future?
In the end everything gets cheaper in regards to what we pay per minute, but the bill at the end of the month still is as high as 8 years ago.
Actually, it's less, if you figure that $20 now is worth $10 8 years ago. Or even less. Just my .02, adjusted for hyperinflation.
You must have kittens...

Please, think of the kittens.

What, are you using your whole fist, doc?
Better get your lunar ass checked before it's too late, turkey!
Well , i'm killing your session , and i'm banning you from the house. Don't even try chrooting into the window.
Well, since she gave me root access, I can VPN in from chroot jail. I guess she likes the bad boys.
You know, kinda like your mom.

If anyone ever makes first contact with us, it will to complain about the noise. Not a good start.
Shouldn't all planets make noise like this? We have nothing to fear from our noisy neighbor overlords

As a general rule, I wouldn't use my fingerprint to protect anything that's worth more to a criminal than my finger is to me. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/4396831.stm
Fingerprints would be useless for an amputee.I imagine it's a lot easier to type in a PIN stolen from a database than it is to, um, change your thumbprint or the pattern of the veins in your retina to one stolen from a database.

Fried in whale oil, of coors.
What? No mention of Freebasic? I am saddened. Maybe they should... http://www.freebasic.net/
Wow. That's dead on.
Yup. I was replying to the comment.

DOJ, You got served!
What year is this again? In other news, I think I just saw a lady with a 20lb sledgehammer sprint past in black and white.
I think this is called the Streisand Effect.
