That's fine if you're familiar with US cities, but I couldn't find the bastards:
"litigious bastards" returned "Your search - litigious bastards - did not match any locations."
"litigious bastards in utah" returned "We could not understand the location utah."
I've just upgraded to a TruePower 430W; there wasn't anything* wrong with my old case-bundled AOpen 300W PSU, but the current breed of nVidia graphics cards recommend at least a 350W PSU.
The Antec is a good unit, but I would only use the PSU temperature-controlled case fan connectors for loud, high airflow fans. I have a pair Vantec Stealth case fans, and they run too slow on these connectors - the CPU started to heat up, and I didn't trust the PSU to respond quickly enough. The Stealths run nice and quiet at 12V, so running them of regular molex connectors is not a problem.
* When I pulled out the AOpen 300W, I noticed something rattling around inside. Opening it up I discovered that one of the components (a 2? watt carbon resistor) had shed its paint coating, probably due to heat. I never had any problem with system stability, but it's probably just as well I replaced the PSU when I did.
When I was a kid, we used to bolt our transistors to our little brothers - and we like it! But tell that to the kids of today, and they won't believe you...
That's why I ask Firefox to confirm all cookies before saving them. If the site doesn't work if I block the cookie (and I block all 2o7.ne cookies), I'll try letting it set a session cookie. Only when I want the cookie to remain across sessions (e.g. Slashdot login cookie) will I actually accept a normal cookie.
I haven't looked yet, but a wildcard cookie blocker like the Adblock extension would be great - there are a lot of sites using 2o7.net.
BTW, does anyone know if there any planets that actually have been confirmed to have a reducing atmosphere? Does Venus?
Yes, Venus has an ion tail that extends 45 million kilometres - almost as far as Earth's orbit - caused by the solar wind stripping them from the upper atmosphere. Link.
As a wise man once said (no, I don't think it was the Pope): "I may not know much about art, but I know what I like."
Good art is something that you can appreciate just by looking at it - be it skillful brush strokes, choice of colours or whatever. You look at it and say "What an artist!"
"Art" that need to be explained to you, usually by a condescending curator in waffling hyperbole, isn't art. You look at it and say "What a BS artist!"
True art should reflect the artist creating it, not the medium with which it is made. The CGI in "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy is art; that in the "Star Wars" prequels is BS.
Gentoo works for larger deployments, too. Just because you can optimise the bejesus out of it, doesn't mean you have to - if you have a mixed environment, you can make a generic x86 architecture build and deploy that.
While everyone jokes about Gentoo being for optimisation fetishists, what it really is is a meta-distribution that lets you build a Linux system to suit your requirements from the compile-time options upwards. (Gentoo also provides binary packaging for those who don't want to roll their own, and also to cater for build once, deploy many situations.)
Sanborn may be referring to something he buried on the CIA grounds, though he's not saying. The decrypted text mentions a burial and gives latitude and longitude coordinates (38 57 6.5 N, 77 8 44 W), which Sanborn said referred to "locations of the agency."
GlobeXplorer shows some parkland adjacent to a collection of buildings (presumably CIA HQ), but no "X".
It's probably only a cache of Iraqi WMD, or an alien spacecraft... Move along, nothing to see here.

The Microsoft revenue engine, of course.
From the article, he was arrested and released i.e. bailed - not "jailed".
If he hadn't been released, he would have been remanded in custody - still not "jailed".
If he was point on trial and convicted, he would have been gaoled - did I mention not "jailed"?

Not to mention it has a Windows XP ^W^W Fisher Price theme.
