I recall reading in a Tom Clancy book about the best way to heat the MREs was to stick it in the exhaust stack of a 2 ton truck. Warm it up, have the drive step on the gas, and blow the MRE right up the stack. Sounds weird, but hey, if it works.
The kit, as you figured out, is totally seperate from the network change. The kit (or more specifically the auth code on the kit) changes your @Home email to Cox.net. The kit doesn't make the network change and vice versa.
There has been talk of this for weeks in the athome.* newsgroups.
You can probably get away with statically putting in your IP address, but you would just have to hope that the address never changes.
It's transition time, shit is going to happen. Blame it on @Home.
The HST was built in the late 70's/early 80's. When did adaptive optics start up? I imagine that at the time, the HST was cutting edge for non-military space telescopes.
As for the HST's future, it's scheduled for EOL at the end of the decade. Check out NASA's Next Generation Space Telescope page for its successor.
Of course, they don't ever tell you anything about what kind of DVD burner it is, which is much more important than with CD burners (there are numerous types).
The current (as of Sunday) G4s have a DVD-R drive. If I remember right, it's a Pioneer DVR-A03 drive.
As Apple clearly points out that is a DVD-R drive and that it works in standard DVD players. That's really all the consumer cares about: will it work in the stuff that I have now.
The NewtonOS is certainly nice, but I wouldn't want the form factor of a Newton. Not in the age of Palms, Handsprings, and HandEras. You can't stuff a Newton into your pocket, but you can with the current PDAs.
Who knows, maybe Palm will do something interesting with their BeOS purchase. PalmOS 6?

Perhaps old submitted stories fall off the User Info page after awhile? That was two weeks ago and two weeks would be a nice cut off date.
Like the posted comments stops at 24 (weird number).
Click the "Submit Story" link over on the left and see if your story is still there. I've got three rejected stories sitting in there, the oldest being from June. The one accepted story that I had a couple of months ago fell off User Info awhile ago.
Does anybody else find it ironic that/. complains a lot when people's privacy is abused, yet you have no privacy of your friends/foes if you're a registered user?
Allow users to ignore posts from people with a certain level of Karma. This should weed out the trolls instead of having to manually weed the trolls. So say if you have a Karma below 5, I don't want to see your posts at all.
Killfiles are nice, but they get to be a PITA after you <plonk> a pile of people.
One of the best (IMHO) stories about the mess that was Ion Storm was by the Dallas Observer. It was covered in this old (1999!)/. article Ion Storm has Financial and Personnel difficulties. The story link is out of date as the Observer changed their website structure. The story is located here.

Pioneer 10 has responded!
Right, sorry. Too many Bill's running here.
Unfortunately, as others have pointed out, he already holds a California elected office.
Yup!

For those of you curious, Cliff Frost is head of their network group.
There's also the ALLADiN-P4 (their caps lock key, not mine), though I haven't seen any motherboards with that chipset.
Especially once the /. effect gets going. Might as well toss the "results" out right now.

Is /.'ing his server revenge for Daikatana?
Don't worry, somebody will modify one of the USB-powered keyboard lights. After market, third-party opportunity.

The Register says there is a fan in it.
If you say "It's only got one button", then never mind.
Ikea already uses Macs in their ads for computer desks.

For those of us not in the know, what's the rocky history?
dot.kde.org is totally /.'ed.
No, I don't work for DoveBid nor do I have any interest in them. Just something I stumbled onto awhile back.
