When I was like 12 years old... me and my friends used to try shoving fireworks into, or taping fireworks onto everything not living. We did it to nerf balls, frisbees, He-men, Fisher Price guys, and water balloons. We'd often light the firework, throw the item and stare. Was a lot of fun. Good thing the nerf balls never burst into flames. If they did... we would have did it more often:-).
How much radiation does it take to make
those things go off? Those patients must
be emitting the tiniest amount of radiation.
There is no way that that amount of radiation
is actually hurting any nearby people. But the detectors are going off even though noone could
be directly effected.
My guess is that the detectors are set to "go off" even if the tiniest amount of radiation is found. That way, any attempt by terrorists to try to hide the radiation (thick lead, etc) will be thwarted.
ecology: The relationship between organisms and their environment.
In this case, it looks like the study is the ecology of humans and vampires. Specifically, the study is to do with vampires killing humans, and vampire hunters killing vampires. Quite silly!

President Bush today signed legislation that seals off the P-rated (Parents Only) "neighborhood" for parents on the World Wide Web.
The Dot-parents implementation will contain items that kids may not look at. All content that is suitable for viewing after kids go to bed will be available at.parents.us sites.
These sites will only be available after 10PM in most time zones, except for CST (which will have it available after 9PM).
Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-N.D.), remarked that the new domain was just what his doctor ordered. Sen. Dorgan says "We're not censoring anything. We're just making it available after 10PM for parents only."
... attracting novices looking for a way onto the Internet as well as high-end users wanting a second box.
These things don't come with monitors, modems, etc. I'd be really surprised if novices are buying these things. I guess they might be if they are getting the "extra-price-items"... like a monitor.
These seem like geek toys. Or maybe as a CPU upgrade for those with old PC's.
I'm paying a smallish company about $160 a year for a shared server. That includes the use of Ftp, Apache, and MySQL. That includes 300 Megs of disk space and 7500 Megs of transfer per month. I've never had any noticeable down-time... and all of my questions have been answered within about 8 hours.
I am extremely happy with the use of my $160.

The issue is sticky, because the researchers also pushed to patent the offspring of the mouse, which carry similar genes, as well as other mammals exhibiting similar traits.
The issue was sticky enough. Then they had to push it further by trying to patent other animals with similar traits? No wonder it was denied (at least in Canada). As a result, a media-storm ensued, and I'm sure that helped to influence the courts.
Depending on who you ask, RAID stands for either Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks or Redundant Array of Independent Disks. I suppose which expanded acronym you choose to use will depend on how much you paid for your hard drives, since you can build RAID arrays with cheap 5,400 RPM IDE drives or uber-expensive 15,000 RPM SCSI beasts.
The most natural way to do any task should also be the most secure way.
I am very confused by that suggested principle. The most natural way to delete a file is to "rm file.txt". So that should be the most secure way to delete the file? What if I delete the file via my file manager? Should that be less secure?
I'm sure there are more details buried in the PDF files on their site... but the short summary of that principle sure confuses me.
I think at least one full day should be used to teach what can be done in a good shell (such as bash, etc). There is lots of power there that people who use Windows will never learn. Examples:
Don't have to navigate through hundreds of menu's.
Can pipe simple commands together and get something powerful.
Very low bandwidth.
That's just a few. And throw in the 'find' command if you need to both impress and confuse them:-).
His response made sense seeing as the original poster took the word "understandable" out of context. As a response, the word "filtering" was taken out of context. Get it? Somebody should now take something I said out of context.
I want to hang a 3d picture in my bathroom. The 3d glasses would be attached to a big *you-cannot-steal-these-3d-glasses* chain. My visitors could view a largish 3d version of my choice (large banana, close-up of a freckle, or Guy Smiley) while they use my bathroom.
Why. Oh god. Why? Nothing much else to do in my bathroom but take this stupid test
Recently, two Finnish churches refused to pay royalties to the country's copyright society for the performance of Christmas hymns. The congregations won their case in a district court, but the society has appealed.

It's a really cool idea to turn your childhood toy into a house-roving camera. That's really cool. Here's another idea that someone just happened to mention to me just last night:
Why not replace the train cars with plastic containers? Why not make the train tracks a little wider? Why not make it possible for the train engine to pick out a specific plastic container and bring it to you (assuming you are somewhere along its track) ?
That would be a really geeky/lazy butt thing to do. You could just sit on your couch and request via remote control for your train to bring you things.
During a lifetime the average person will swallow
sixteen spiders while they are sleeping! We all know that that is because there is this one dude in Switzerland that swallows seven trillion spiders per year while he is sleeping. I won't ever swallow any spiders while sleeping, but that one guy messes up the average.
Same theory with spam. Except my amount of spam will increase 1000fold, and yours won't increase at all. I'm messing up the average. I should probably stop soliciting impotence advice from Dr. Spam-alot.
"Companies looking for open source skill sets are very focused on the proven abilities of the engineer in the work environment. In other words, if you can do it, you are the right candidate. With proprietary systems, like Microsoft technologies, there's a tendency to look at things like certifications as a prerequisite for hires. In the open source world, there are very few certifications that matter."
My experience is this:
People without degrees will willingly hire people without degrees.
People with degrees usually hire only people with degrees.
What are some other benefits of making sites handicapped accessible? Sometimes businesses don't care if they reach what they consider a minority. But they might care if there are other benefits. For example... the site is probably better searchable if it is more accessible. Any others?

Earth's stark contrast of water, ice, cloud and land cannot be beat. The other planets are very beautiful, but nothing comes close to Earth.
That's so true. There's a big difference :-).
