For a Mars return trip they could get some Ice from the cap and convert it in to hydrogen and oxygen via electrolysis getting power from solar.
Then burn the hydrogen, mixing with the oxygen, to lift off of Mars and then return to Earth via ion drive.
So true. We installed an 8 port IP-KVM switch in a rack recently, and the on light was _bright_ blue, to the point that 20m away it felt like it was boring a hole in my head. I cut some paper into ~1cm square pieces and taped a stack of 3 over it, and it still looked excessively bright. I don't know what the designers were thinking.
Cut a piece of electrical tape ~1cm^2 and put a small slit in the center to let some light through. It should be hard to see 2 feet from it.
Also, their lawsuit is not going too far, unless they personally are the copyright owners of the code. Just having a violation is not enough. The copyright owner needs to sue them for it. It's not enough for someone who have heard about the work to sue them.
August 16th, 2009 - It has been brought to my attention that I do not state which part of the GPL code I am claiming copyright ownership on. I have some patches in the Linux kernel and a direct copyright notice in e.g. therm_adt746x.c. However my patches alone are not going to make a very strong case and it is my hope that big contributors to busybox and uClibc will help out making a bigger group of people who had their copyright violated. I have already contacted several people who have very clear violations of their copyright in the product, and we are looking to sue on their behalf too.
But let me please be very clear about the fact that I would rather this case could be settled in a peaceful manner.
I have not been hovering over the images for almost a year since I made an rss parser that strips out the alt text and place it below the image.

Isn't WiFi broadcast at several watts of power? Not really low-level.
In the US the maximum legal output from a WiFi antenna is 5 watts, where as a standard microwave runs at 1000+ watts. (both in 2.4GHz)
For comparison, television is in mere microwatts by the time it hits your television.
many TV stations around here broadcast at 1000kw (1000000 watts), when it gets to my house, 60+ miles away, it would still be at least at 1 watt (probably higher)
BIOS and firmware upgrades that only work from Windows... or from a USB floppy disk!
You can always burn a CD with FreeDOS, the Award flashing utility, and the firmware and flash the BIOS from that if the BIOS is made by Award (most are)
Looking forward to IP6 also (though I'll have to get rid of my $100 cheap router for a "real" one)
My router was only $100 plus $50 shipping(4U computer) plus $40 for the OS, but could have been only $100 and done the same in a smaller space(routerboard.com). It has BGP, OSPF, RIP, IPv6, Bandwidth Queues, NAT, and more.
only three lines? My info takes 5+ pages just for the sites and user names (or one search URL) not including the passwords (some of them I do not know or want to [requires me to only use MY Linux laptop])
Assuming only 1k electrons in a bit, then a bit would be 9.10938215(45)x10^-28 kg.
If we then assume that every p2p user downloads at 100kbps, then in 1 second a single user would have acquired 9.10938215(45)x10^-23 kg
Assuming there are only 1 billion users in one second 9.10938215(45)x10^-15 kg worth of data would be transfered
After approximately 317 years only 9.10938215(45)x10^-5 kg worth of data would have been transfered
I do not see how even one pound of data has been lost.

Then you probably should have mentioned that you where not touching the product and that you where geyting it via a dedicated hosting provider.

So when will the newly designed FriendFace be bought by FaceFriend? Will I then be able to add Moss or Roy to my FaceFriend friend list?

568 km/l to mpg
I'm surprised. Why does this 3rd place winner get this attention?
because it looks like a vehicle a consumer would buy, not like an "amoeba with wheels"
They(AT&T) charge per kilobit.
Almost all network transfer rates are measured (and advertised) in bits, not bytes.
or just de-pressurize the room/building to make the conditions similar to what it is in space

Time is at least two dimensions; The normal (to us) plane, and the other options. We only occupy 3 dimensions and a ray.
