It's a notification, not a regulation - there is no regression involved. It simply informs people. If you don't like it, ignore the signs. They aren't that bad.
Therein lies the problem. They are crying wolf too much. And your solution, and probably nearly everyone else's solution, is to now ignore all the warning signs---including some that probably shouldn't be ignored.
Hydrogen Audio isn't an "audiophile" site in the normal sense of the word. They are huge supporters of double-blind testing that debunks most "audiophile" claims.
Did I say absorbed? I didn't quite mean absorbed directly. It still evaporates. Whether it evaporates into the atmosphere or not doesn't matter so much. The evaporation process still cools the body.
Liet-Kynes:
The skin-contact layer's porous. Perspiration passes through it, having cooled the body... near-normal evaporation process.
Stillsuits have never struck me as the most brilliant of ideas. Sweating is how the body gets rid of heat, if you want to recycle the sweat then you need to get rid of the heat in some other way.
As a God Emperor I have some authority on this issue here.
The stillsuits don't stop you from sweating. You still sweat when you get hot, but the sweat is then absorbed by the stillsuit and reprocessed into drinking water.
not huge, but be aware of the median values in the state: http://www.state.me.us/spo/economics/economic/householdincome.htm What about the median values for those who have as much education as the teachers? Most teachers have a bachelor's degree, a master's degree, and teaching certification. If you look at the median incomes for the rest of the state with a similar level of education I'm sure it will be quite a bit higher than 34.5k/year.

Uhh the Xbox360 is NOT PPC based. It's plain ol' x86. In fact, not only is it x86, it's also the same damn platform entirely. Xbox360's run a heavily modified version of Windows. Bzzzt. Wrong.
How on earth does Ramen relate to MBR and Windows variants? While I do wish it had something to do with his holiness the Flying Spaghetti Monster, in this case I believe it has to do with the original poster's name: ILuvRamen.
Then the university needs to take steps to prevent it happening. if that means banning certain p2p protocols or certain websites then so be it. Sorry to burst everyone's bubble but universities are places where you go to further your education, not to shield yourself from prosecution when you knowingly and repeatedly download copyrighted music that you do not pay for, and for which you know payment is required. You may not believe in copyright, or the rights of the IP holders, fine, then you should fight to change the law, or happily be prosecuted so you can have your day in court and make your spec about the injustice. But to hide behind university lawyers and IT people who frankly have better things to do than stick up for the illegal activities of the students, is just lame. Speaking from... uhm... first hand experience here. They do some prevention of P2P. No matter what they do there is always ways around it though.
They severely rate limit traffic they can identify as P2P traffic. This is easily overcome by encrypting bittorrent traffic, which all modern BT clients can do.
They also will monitor your traffic usage and if, for instance, you use a large percentage of the traffic they will tell you to back off -- they don't know it is because of illegal activity but they also don't want you using so much bandwidth it effects other student's network service.
Also, they do some follow up when they get complaints from MPAA/RIAA and the like. They have sent notices to whoever is registered as residing where the infringing ethernet port is located to tell them the University received complaints and if it happens again ethernet access will be revoked. The infringer has to sign a document saying they won't do it again. But giving some warnings like this and taking legal action are two entirely different things.
Has apple decided that people who don't use XP/Vista/OSX are no longer important enough to need Quicktime? I tried to install quicktime on my windoze 2000 box, and encountered several problems:
Newest quicktime only for XP/Vista
Quicktime 6.5.2 is available for 2k, but doesn't run well
When the mouse.mov file is opened in 6.5.2 Quicktime complains that it needs a plugin, and promptly crashes
I'll get off my soapbox now and watch this get modded down to troll status. Wow... Maybe you should use an OS that's better supported, like Linux. The.mov file opened up great in Firefox and Totem on my Gentoo box.

I've got a bunch of UTF-8 (with Chinese characters) and GB2312 (also Chinese) encoded emails that worked just fine. But then I've got some others with the same encoding that don't work, and have ? as you said. The only difference I can see is that the mails that work used base64 content-transfer-encoding and the ones that didn't work just use straight 8-bit content-transfer-encoding.
All the mails I sent myself through Gmail look fine. Lots that I received look fine. But there's some I received that don't work.
Whether this will be fixed or not I dunno... But it's not all broken as you said.
Maybe your situation is different, but the people I know who get allergy shots have to start out as you said, once a week or so, but gradually receive fewer and fewer up to around once a month or so. If you ever miss an appointment though you have to start over with the once a week shots...

So how is this so groundbreaking? IP prefix interception has been studied and discussed already. For instance:

from Sigcomm 2007.
Seems to be a much better work than this Defcon presentation.

You've got the odd/even thing backwards. North/South routes are odd, and East/West routes are even.

In the US most teachers have a Bachelors, Masters, and teacher cert.

Wow, I had not seen DSVNC or Win2DS before. Pretty sweet.
I just downloaded the demo at over 4 megabytes/second (yah, MB not Mb) so I don't think they are lacking bandwidth.

They keep records of which computer (well, which MAC address anyway) had which IP address at which time. They've done that for a long time
