however, i propose sending me to not to mars, but to establish a colony instead on the inner face of phobos, the one that always faces mars. easier to get to, and might help sheild from radiation and cosmic rays.
"The problem has changed very little over the past 20 years, explained Shulman, referring to a 1990 Unix password study that showed a password selection pattern similar to what consumers select today. Its time for everyone to take password security seriously; its an important first step in data security.
So 20 years later we still have all of exact same problem? The lesson here is _not_ that "it's time for _everyone_ to take pw security seriously". The lesson is that the basic mechanic's of passwords doesn't work. I'm sure they tried to take pw security seriously 20 years ago. The average user doesn't understand the math behind making a complex password. Password requirements add to the confusion: one pw changes every 3 months, another 4, some must use mixed case, ohters 2 numbers and a special character, and don't write it down, etc, then throw in some passwords fields that cannot use special characters, my bank pw cannot start with a number, can't reuse a pw for 12 uses and the result is simplified easier to remember passwords. Same as the last but add a '1' at the end, incriment to '2' in 3 months.
Old Dakota wisdom says that if you are riding a dead horse, get off. Shulman seems to think that if we just get serious and dig in our heals we can suddenly get the dead horse to trot. Meanwhile management will ignore Shulman and instead decide to double the horsepower-- by buying another dead horse.
open a PDF with MS office and edit it, I can't seem to get them to open like they do in openoffice.
openoffice is a bit sluggish to open but definitely has more functionality than MS office these days -- for instance, no retraining workers to use the ribbon interface on a new machine since openoffice works like they expect it to.

Deep Flight Challenger
Deep Flight Challenger was built to enable adventurer, Steve Fossett, to set the ultimate solo dive record for all time (37,000 feet). Unfortunately Fossett perished in a plane crash before he could dive the submersible to record depth. Hawkes Ocean Technologies is now the only organization in the world that has full ocean depth technology.
Flight endurance: full ocean depth and back in 5 hours Speed: Cruise 2.2 knots; Max 3 knots Ascent/Descent Rate:350 feet/second at +/- 45 degrees Operating Depth: 37,000 fsw Crew: 1
37,000 feet > 6,500m normally. News reporters seldom seem to actually fully understand reality or what they are reporting, is it any wonder that the rest of the news sounds so distorted and that headlines are usually one way hashes?
Why are superhero movies even PG as a norm? shouldnt they be G? they are based on comics which conform to the moralist comics code, ie the source material is G rated (dark knight is part of a more recent era of comics which is no longer bound by the old code. its an exception).
To add some perspective, what would you think about a remake of the Wizard of Oz with an R rating for nudity and profanity. How about Tom Sawyer and Huckfinn adapted to the big screen with that R rating, and the screenplay altered to be more commercially viable-- Jim is now secretly working for the 'railroad' and huck and tom have repressed feelings for each other.
How about King Lear being performed for over a 150 years with an alternate 'Happy' ending written by Johnson?
I'm not saying no to non-G super hero movies, just think about why PG-13 or R would be considered the norm, when the source material is so 'clean'

i wanted a surname of guppy for a hobbit i was playing, first name morp, a fiesty little rogue that i've 'played' in many games. when i hit level 20 and it wouldnt let me have that surname, i petitioned, and the gm response was that they "do not have the power to do anything with surnames." i was irritated and typed "/lastname enis" which just took, no "are you sure you want that stupid surname? yes/no." so i petition myself for having a bad surname. gm responded that you cannot petition yourself and closed the ticket. so i had a friend petition my surname.
i log in and my surname is removed and my first name changed to "rumpoop" about 6 hours later a gm responded to another petition and changed my name to "morp guppy" and i got the surname i wanted.
