Not a problem in this case; the immune system hasn't 'initialized' at that point, and so would imprint both types as self when it comes online.
This is why people are interested in freezing fetal blood samples; the theory is that you keep a backup of the immune system install media to reinstall if it goes bad. Um, except that we have no idea how to do that yet... works in theory, though.

This isn't as big a problem as you'ld think; as long as the two embryos merge before the cells start to differentate it could work.
There are some really creepy experiments with mice where they did this on purpose with white and black mice, and got striped (!) mice that always had exactly 13 stripes (well, sometimes adjacent stripes were the same color, but if you made enough mice you could tell) - this told them that the skin developed from 13 cells, etc.
Presumably if you're mixing siblings you won't get stripes...
Yeah, the mail is sorted by computerized scanner/feeders when they can OCR it (as it's zipping by - this is pretty cool). I think the OCR boxes run Linux, actually.
I'm sorry, but your program uses code from my program to detect alien mind-altering radiation. I will offer NDAs to view this code shortly, but you may license it at the bargain price of $698 per CPU.
Right, but they gave CPU % used, rather than the number of cycles used during the test - Reiser's CPU numbers looked higher *because* it was fast in terms of wall time.
But remember, you have to insure that the paper trail *can't* be used by a voter to prove who they voted for - that would allow verifiable vote-buying, which would be bad...
SCO's illicit strategy is transparent - make loud public claims about alleged intellectual property rights, provide no detail (since it does not exist), and hope to use the time-honored technique of creating fear, uncertainty and doubt to slow the growth and use of LINUX, damage the business of LINUX provides such as Red Hat, coerce unwarrented fees from LINUX users by threats of litigations, and, upon information and belief, even create enough nuisance value to be acquired while running up the price of SCO's stock in the short term, thereby creating various financial opportunities to wrongfully enrich the originators of this scheme.
No, there aren't. Or rather, there are plenty of environmentally friendly power sources, but none of them is big enough to replace fossil fuels without being deployed on a huge enough scale that you start to wonder about environmental impacts of that... (you want to pave the mojave with solar cells?!)
Not a joke; in California, the Prison Guard's Union was a huge backer of their 'Three Strikes' law, and has blocked attempts to curtail it in various ways.
The good news is, the Prison Guards Union will be opposing the organleggers...
A filesystem specifically designed to run on compact flash will move metadata around and distribute the writes to last a reasonable length of time. I know these are out there (QNX has one), don't know for sure about Linux implementations.
Tinfoil Hat Linux is designed for just such a case. Boots of a CD-ROM, randomized keyboard for password entry, tempest-resistant fonts, PGP encryption and decryption (also of random files, in the background, to thwart timing attacks), and in a pinch "output console text to keyboard LEDs in morse code" mode.
Considering that an earlier version of Redhat had "Redneck" as a hidden language option for the installer, eg. "Do you want to reparition your hard drive: I reckon [ ] Nosirree [x]", I suspect they'd be amused rather than offended.
Yeah, I'm worried the plan is to effectively prevent people from getting ahold of any Redhat but the enterprise versions that you can only buy with support and a promise to buy support for every copy you use (!).
Is anyone but SuSE real competition in the commercial space? I can't see Debian in corps...
Figure out what your tiers are (if this isn't obvious, that's a big red alarm on the architecture, but anyway). Set it up so that you can time the transaction passing through each tier on an unloaded system. Find the bottlenecks, hammer them away, repeat.
Oh, and figure out what you mean by 200 concurrent users. Logged in? Making a request? Which one?
And go get a copy of Raj Jain's "The Art of Computer Systems Performance Analysis", for heaven's sake.
Wetsuits (probably reinforced with kevlar or something, why not) would probably be fine; actually, filling any small internal gaps with water would be a good trick to insure a perfect fit (any gaps in the suit and you get Giant Space Hickeys, and we don't want that!). You'ld need a fishbowl helmet, of course.
Heat might be tricky. Space is cold, but there's no air, so shedding heat is surprisingly hard. I'm not sure if overheating or freezing would be the main problem for humans in moderately insulated suits.
Driving a non-air-conditioned, 400HP car in a circle at 150 mph for a few hours just slightly faster than the other two dozen guys in identical cars, however, does require skill.
Do you tailgate (less drag, more heat)? How long and with who? Which line through the banked corners is optimal right now (it'll change as the track gets dirty and your tires heat up/wear, not to mention different amounts of traffic at different levels)? How many times will you stop for gas? Change tires? Do you need to adjust the suspension?

5) profit!

1. Write book on Linux annoyances.
2. Annoyances are fixed.

Hardcopy logs seem a no-brainer, though.
Dear Darl:
Please note, there is no actual conspiracy against SCO; it only seems that way because everyone hates you.

Redhat also specifically requested a trial by jury. Anybody know if that's normal for this sort of thing?
Legal documents are surprisingly entertaining:

Well, you could subscribe to different groups, have different 'bands' on it...
'Well, it looks ok on the Amnesty International band, but check out the reading on Greenpeace!'
But he knows that spreading FUD is safe and effective!
WTH? $662k for a Brain?
For what, a transplant? I'll volunteer to be a Brain Donor after my death, all right!

To conservatives, those words are code-talk for punishing the strong and rewarding the weak.
No, for punishing success and rewarding failure. The results of doing so should be obvious.

So, it's a good-news, bad-news deal then?

Not an expert, but have read on this elsewhere:
