Science is available at my local public library. Granted, right now it only goes back 2 years, but the library only has so much space for periodicals.
I'm a bit lucky -- my place of work provides online access to nearly every scientific journal out there. Public libraries sometimes do the same thing as my place of work; i.e. you can probably access Science online from your library's computers.
I would think that would be quite a challenge. I'm thinking that in order to represent modern computing with art in a way that is interesting to computer scientists, you would need to understand modern computing to some non-trivial level.
I'm sure not all of the art department is as ignorant of computing as I am of art; but I'm guessing understanding would be a rare occurrence?
Yes, these programs can and do record clicks and screen shots. In other words, every time you click, it makes a screen shot of either the whole screen or the area around where you clicked. They can also record the contents of the clipboard.
I must be missing something.. what is the point of encrypting the same email that you are sending in plaintext to another person?
The last version I tried only supported SMIME which was not on by default and did not generate a key by default Again, what is the point of generating keys locally if no one else has them? You need some sort of key management infrastructure in place. Are you asking that Mozilla provide this infrastructure for you?
I was only questioning your attribution. There is no "Pravin Lal" of the U.N, but you attributed the quote as if he was a real person. Perhaps if you had added "Sid Mier's Alpha Centauri" (as you would if you quoted a character in a book) to the end of the attribution, I wouldn't have wondered if you knew where the quote came from.
I'm not sure whether you're aware of this -- but that quote is apparently from the turn-based strategy computer game Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri. I'll leave it to others to decide whether you using quotes from game characters to support your point is sane...;-)

All of the solar arrays on ISS are about the same.

Why do you feel you have to state your religion? Do you think that somehow it makes your point more valid? Or is it to demonstrate how fearless you are to state an opinion that might appear to go against your chosen faith?

You probably already know this, but for the benefit of others -- those drivers are from GEAR software:
http://www.gearsoftware.com/wiki/index.php?title=GEAR_Powered_Products#iTunes_for_Windows
Do device drivers (e.g. ASPI drivers) run in userspace as well?
iTunes installs the GEAR ASPI drivers for controlling optical burners.

I believe iTunes uses a service called "iPod Service" to interact with the iPod, not a driver.
iTunes does, however, install GEAR CD/DVD ASPI drivers for controlling CD/DVD burners.
http://www.gearsoftware.com/support/drivers.cfm
iTunes is "GEAR powered"; i.e. it installs the GEAR CD/DVD burner ASPI drivers. See:

Wouldn't those be kernel-space drivers?
From where do you think the funding should come?

Turning that feature off is in (you guessed it!) the FAQ!

In short, toggle the preference noscript.firstRunRedirection to false.

There is an interview with Alan Marscher on this week's Nature Podcast (24 April 2008). If you want to skip to the story, it starts at 25:19.
Yes, these programs can and do record clicks and screen shots. In other words, every time you click, it makes a screen shot of either the whole screen or the area around where you clicked. They can also record the contents of the clipboard.
Great, except some keyloggers record screen shots when you click. They also can easily record the clipboard contents.
Columbia was designed to survive a reentry. Is it a surprise, then, that the hydrazine tank survived?
Can you find an instance where a vehicle not designed for reentry had a hydrazine tank that survived?
I get this error:
"We cannot register you at this time, but please check back in a few weeks for some great science fiction. Thanks!"
I have hard copies of the Mistborn books already, but e-book versions would have been nice...

Really! Snake Oil Salesmen Were on to Something
Why NASA is spending money on wining and dining contractors instead of the other way around, I don't really understand.
Contractors wining and dining federal employees is illegal.
Damn.. forgot to mention: The current Nature podcast has an interview with David Cassidy:

The Red Cross is a not a religious organization. Their symbolic cross is simply the reverse of the Swiss flag.
