I have been to see the OTEC site in Hawaii; it's on the Big Island a bit north of Kona/Keahou. In short it looks like a couple of large-diameter pipes going straight into the ocean on the lava shoreline, with various fenced-in projects using the nutrient rich cold water that is left over from the pumping process, mostly for aquaculture purposes.
It seems from the OTEC Fact Sheet that the site isn't actually operational any more. Digging deeper on the SSP website also finds some reference to the Hawaii site.
I stumbled across the news of Season 2 being sold on iTunes and immediately purchased it. I'm trying to watch them all again before January when the second half of Season 2 is shown, and this works for me. I can probably find better quality illegal downloads somewhere, but the convenience of this is too good to pass up. I'm hoping I can even play the sound through my stereo via AirTunes.
The boardgame is from 1981, when the common Home-PCs didnt even have means to present a computergame like Civilization.
Avalon-Hill did put out a computer game that was clearly based on its Civilization board game, called Incunabula. Used to play it when we couldn't get a full group of people together to play Civilization, Diplomacy, or AD&D.
Actually no, what you need to do are the following steps (I used them to re-enable GPGMail):
Quit Mail In Finder, rename folder $HOME/Library/Mail/Bundles (Disabled) back to $HOME/Library/Mail/Bundles. In Terminal, type: defaults write com.apple.mail EnableBundles 1 defaults write com.apple.mail BundleCompatibilityVersion 2 Relaunch Mail
My Sony 36" CRT HDTV weighs just a tad under 300lb.
Ouch. I have a Sony 34XBR910 and it "only" weighs 200lb. I was scared to move it, but we pulled it off with 3 people. The tough parts were: 1) getting out the door, since the TV is so deep that there was barely enough room for the guy on the front side (the heavy side) to get by, and 2) lifting it about 4' to go atop the mantle of our fireplace.
Not at all! Why, I've been doing it for years, and nobody has caug -- oh, just a minute, someone's at the door. I'll be right back to finish this post!
Unforuntately it looks like you have done all you can. According to Identity Theft And Your Social Security Number on the SSA website, you have to have evidence that someone is currently using your number before they will issue you a new one. One way to determine that is to check your social security statement, but I doubt anything will turn up here as fraudsters are unlikely to use your number to report earnings. SSA also recommends the flagging of your credit report, as you have already done. The Federal Trade Commission suggests the same (fraud flags) but also suggests filing a police report.

I heard that people that have Doom3 and Unreal Tournament 2004 installed are refusing to install Sims 2. (no matter how much their girlfriend complains)
Yes, EA has heard about that as well. Pending a patch to fix the failure of response to complaints, the workaround is for the girlfriend to withhold sex until installation is completed.
the new click wheel looks a lot nicer and would probably solve that problem, but i have the old one.
It will not solve your scrolling problem. If anything, it will make it worse, because the click wheel is oversensitive to finger motion when you are trying to rate a song on the fly... in particular it seems maddeningly predisposed to vary your rating by +/- 1 star when you lift your finger off the wheel.
What the click wheel does solve compared to the 3G iPods is the poor feedback and usability of the four touch buttons across the top. It's much much harder to accidentally click the click wheel compared to accidentally tapping the touch buttons.
Point your tech support callers to these free docs - or others...
I frequently pass along Schneier's 3-year-old Safe Personal Computing essay from Crypto-Gram as a good initial set of steps to take coupled with good long-term recommendations (don't use MSIE, don't use Windows).

The article gives a brief overview of SSH, explains AllowUsers, tunnelling, and recommmends disabling SSHv1. However, it misses other details. The most important is disabling root login (which is allowed by default) with: PermitRootLogin no and it would also have been nice to see them suggest changing the Ciphers list from the default, choosing SHA1 MACs, and giving a rundown of public-key-based authentication rather than merely sending readers onward to the OpenSSH website.
Encryption makes configuring your wireless network 10x harder for the average person...
So what is the average user supposed to do? Just keep waiting, I guess...
Nah. The average user will continue to deploy unsecured WAPs with default admin passwords, and it won't be that big of a deal. The average user just does not care. He's about as worried about this as he is about someone coming over and using the BBQ grill on his porch.

I rarely have to move on to more advanced steps like throwing out selected preferences/plists...
I don't like throwing out preferences because of the negative side effect of losing the saved information. I put it off unless the basic steps don't solve the problem. Since they usually do, I don't have to go through the pain of dealing with lost preferences/plists.

In increasing order of desperation:
Repair permissions.
Delete the contents of ~/Library/Caches/,/Library/Caches/, and/System/Library/Caches/. You can do this on the command line in single-user mode (reboot and hold down cmd-S) or using a utility like Panther Cache Cleaner.
Reset PRAM. Reboot, hold down cmd-opt-P-R, and wait for the startup chime to ring 3 times.
Reset NVRAM. Reboot, hold down cmd-opt-O-F. When you get to the Open Firmware prompt, type "reset-nvram (return) set-defaults (return) reset-all (return)" Your machine will reboot.
Usually a cache cleaning is enough for me. Permissions repair rarely does anything for me since installing Panther, but it's so easy that I put it first. I rarely have to move on to more advanced steps like throwing out selected preferences/plists, disk utilities (like DiskWarrior), reinstalling apps, combo updaters or an "archive and install" of the operating system, but those would be the next steps.
...have you found the KFP? That was the Kentucky Fried Panda...
Look for it at the top of the map, in about the middle (left/right). It's on Sycamore Street just north of Oak Grove. Across from The Legless Frog and adjacent to Hemp City.
Also, Heavenly Hills Mall is off the map to the north... scroll up from KFP once you find it and you'll see the black arrow labelled "To Heavenly Hills Mall."
Arthur Fortune was the dude who boogie boarded down Mount Everest, mated 2 male pandas, and punched out Ali. His Fortune Megastore is directly south of the Springfield Mall, across the corner. Also on the same corner is a KrustyBurger and a Springfield Googleplex.

However, if you look at the right hand side of the graphics page at Apple, you will see that the entire machine can be VESA mounted, just like the new Cinema Displays.

Palais de Donut is shown along the monorail path, so perhaps that was the anchor point.
