You do sue the DOT if the (not drunk or drunken ) driver lost control of their vehicle due to some specific lapse or failure of the DOT to adminster to their duties as required by thier laws and operating principles.
That's what's happening here.
Yahoo was told to correct an issue with their service which violated someone's privacy. The're right to be called on it.
Now, if this had been, say , a picture of the presidents daughters or something, Im' sure we wouldn't have even heard about it. They would have just disappeared with the first email/phone call.
There's a substance called "MollyCoat" which was used heavily in the 70's for greaing on teletypes.
One particular model, the T35, had a gear which would wear out in about 300 hours. Pull it out, spray it with mollycoat and then it would last for years.
I've seen it used on jeyboards, but it eats some of the cheaper plastics. If you can get it compatable, and let it dry (in a few minutes), you'be essentially got a very good protectin for the keys.
Of course, you also have a slightly different tactile response. i prefered the logitech kb's and mice. (Not the new m510's, the're more slippery than the m500's. )
Seriously though., this DasKeyboard looks like the same KB's I get from my vendor for free with new comps. Okay, good life time, but kind of bulky. At least it doesn't have the godwawful split backspace jey. I hate those.
Funny thing is, my writing's not as bad as my/. posts. I can go 10k words in an 8 hour period with only a few mistypes. (And have, many times!)
There's just something about/. that makes me turn cache typchecking off. And I make all kinds of slips.
The there/the're one was just me missing the ' key though. I found seveal " ' "'s missing from the 4k or so I wrote last night, and sure enough, there's a bunch of crud under that key.
I should probably get another keyboard for that laptop. It's seen me through about 1.5 million words, + webpage code + a bunch of note taking in lyx in classes for 2 years.
I actually hadn't thought of that for one major reson. I work for a school and organizations. Since the data we've been looking at transfering has no commercial value is isn't intended on being sold but given to the public domain... that's where I come from.
Ah well.
So, at the least, he could order his pizza through the system (which IS allowed.) and a few more people looked up psk31 on their googleboxen.

Goblet is definatly a favorite of the series... Any idea when book 6 is spoosed to come out? I mean. At this rate, the'll be done with the movies about 2 years before book seven comes out.
I actually believed you and *agreed* with you until the last stament.
You're trollin. But it's in *style*!
And I've gotta say: Yeah: you're right. That's what Mac OS X is for. Give *that* to the little old ladies. And that way then can actually view most of that graphics stuff w/o having ya install software all the time or patch it/lock down the sevices, etc.
US market sucks. This is just one more reason. I'm moving to Eurpoe! Where people care.;) (same thing's going on w/cell phones!)
You could do it with packet and a tower in your back yard and a few hundred dollars initial investment in gear.
1. Get your license. 2. Throw up a tower. 3. Get a pII 300 for a packet box. plug it into the network. Run nagios. There's some linux scripts for getting nagios to talk to *nearly_any* software. Such as aprs. using X.25 or similar. 4. Get a laptop for your car and an HF antenna + mobile 100w rig. 5. Have it send out automated heartbeats every ten minutes w/callsign. And warnings when it's worse. 6. Have lappy pump juice into a claxon or similar, mounted on your car under the hood.
Good for a few hundred miles.
Considering my mom talked with people around the world with 100 watrs all the time using PSK31 (about IM chat speed text data transfer.)
But seriously: This should be good. I didn't have many expectations for the first two. I knew there was a vaperous past.
And I had one major disapointment. Boba Fett was a guy named Jaster Meril long before Lucas wrote him in as the "son" of the template for the first clone warriors.
That was an annoying. I mean. Those books were written and stamped down as the universe. Sure Lucas created it, but he also let them be published. It's like he said "I don't care about those authors" or something.
I understand why he popooed Calisto, I mean Luke and Mara were a definate match from the begining. Callsto was just dressing.
When the acryonm is used as a unit of measure, it's a single quantity. The parent it correct in it's "standard and accepted use" as a unit of measure. You're correct in that if the acronym is parsed fully, it's 1 gfpops and not 1 gflop.
Either way, this reminds me of the "sgi" days.
Howver, it is a lot of power for the money and it's a clean solution to a very unclean problem.
I applaud orion for it. This would be the ideal solution for mobile cluster needs.
I can immediatly see applicatins in the filed, and on oil rigs and such where they need to do rappid model scaling of polutant distributions. Or processing lots of flow data against a model.
I've got tons of rainfall and flow models here which can't run on a single PC in less than several hours which would be eaten up in a few minuts on this thing.
Which is the whole reason Amazon pattened one-click buying. 1. Make it slightly eaisier to get people to make the decision. 2. MAke it take less time...
I'm still curious as to whether these stats include a corection for the people who couldn't get the online sale thing to work or didn't have their pocket geek over their shoulder at the time they were "ready" to buy.
I've had to walk friends, coworkers, family through online sales numberous times. If it'd been a simple matter of them just clicking a button (and not dealing with registering, logging in, passwording up, remember/resetting passwords. finding credit cards, typing in the numbers, getting them wrong, filling in them again, telling mozilla Not to use your pron informatin or *that* address...etc) I'm sure people would buy more more quickly.
At the very least we get to show them another example of why such cooling is necessary. 28 comments, and the site's php rendering is already taxed.
It's been 3 minutes, and I still don't have the pictures...
"The ever increasing demands put on cooling solutions for semiconductor devices have never been greater than today"... now that we're being slashdotted!.
Hehe...
Since there's almost no actual substance in the ad, I'll hold off commenting on its feasability. Unless the've matched some melting point to the cpu (and that would give them a very small window of max effectiveness), the'd be better off using water or ethylene glycol.
ala the Richard Freynman report section: the orings were "COMPression" style o-rings. The they were used in an expansion style joint.
while they worked, it wasn't what they were designed for originally. If you look at a breakdown of the tang and clevis joints, which had the problem orings in the middle, it was obvious the joints had been reengineered after their original design. (The addition of some relief valves and other crud.)
Couple that with a senior engineer ignoring warnings about low temperature expansion of the orings (which is what Freynman demonstrated with a pair of plyers and some ice water to the council) and a tech failing to accuratly read a thermometer, and *boom*.
I hope they pospone. If some one is having a bad vibe about ice forming on lox lines, then by god, let them make sure the're as safe as they can be. Then we get two things: 1. a slightly safer launch and (more importantly) 2. a little extra knowledge that we didn't have before.
10.3 is by far one of the best os's out there. I still like my linux desktop for hard workstation tasks (since I've only an ibook g3) but if 10.4 is anything like the jump to 10.3, I'll be very happy.
I meand rip anyways.:) as in rip and encode. If you don't set dma and have all the relative nice values okay and have an os that plays "nice" with the "nice" values, you'll loose data.
I can kill a single 2.6 GHz machine no sweat with RTCW and one other specific task.
Slower dual procs wont die as quickly. Just look at Splus documentation for dual procs.
PLay a game while burning Mp3's... That will *kill* your single core.
Do it with the dual core 3.2's and you'll better game performance witlh encoding. Though sliughtly less than with the single core and single task.
IMO, these aren't a sub for dual procs yet. But there' promising enough to give them a cost challange soon. And ther'e obviously better than single procs for any intensive cpu tasks that a user needs to do (not just wants for the money) while still having their computer usable.
I just m$ doesn't take advantage of this for more eye candy crap.
As someone who gets to work with both proff's and students regularly, and who is a student too and has done research as such.
Sometimes it is the grad students who come up with the ideas and get the stuff done. These are usually the ones who want to get the heck out of dodge and graduate. If they get the "wrong" professor, the prof gets the credit and the grad students gets the paper and moves on. (Sometimes very bitterly, but it happens.)
And there are some students who don't do *any* work and still graduate. The prof does the work (including experiments! ) and then slapps the student's name on the paper and kicks them along the road.
So usually: - the load and credit is leveled, as seems to be the case with this article - natural selection within the community works to lessen the severity of credit steeling professors who don't do any work - the best work comes from groups where prof is guiding the students actively as you mention
Now, on the other hand. This is one pretty freakin cool article. I got shivers reading about telemerases and thought that tip protection, if we could ever figure out exactly how cancer cells did it, may be the "fountain" of youth one day.
While we're not there yet, it's definatly a step in the right direction that we can "disable" it in cancer. First, because we can now add to our tools to fight cancer. And second, cause we're one step further along in the fight to understand ourselves.

(ps: I'm a nut and own about 3/4 of the starwars books. )
Yep! This is a post from an iPaq running linux.
Before or after you drop it?
That was why I put the word "like" in front of it. I know he didn't say he didn't care. Well. He pretty much did with the cannonical defination.
Still, it was a pretty big change. And one which disturbed me. Sure it was a shortstory by a single author he was stepping on.
I wonder what he truely thinks of the Timothy Zahn extension...
