Speaking of going crazy, he mentions that his TI-82 never crashes. Well, apparently he has never actually installed any programs on it, because badly designed assembly programs can and do crash calcs all the time. When I upgraded the OS on my TI-89, all of the older programs crashed, and I managed to have to reset the calc about 50 times that day:)
You didn't read my post, the sun's energy is transmitted via RADIANT energy, not convected. None of the heat of a processor is in radiant energy, and needs to have a medium to transmit it.
It would be a horrible place to overclock, because most of the heat produced wouldn't be radiated. It would need to have some conductive medium transfer it, and space is a vacuum.
I think you'd need some kind of virtual boundry to that screen, and a simulation of distance so that your brain could cope. I can't imagine being able to process and read an image at zero distance that takes over my entire field of vision.
I think that Half-Life, while using a heavily-modified quake(1) engine, has the feel of a completely new game. It is the best and most immersive single-player experience I've had since quake(1). One of the reasons is that they actually took the time and effort to make an extremely vivid environment. I think that this is a 'new idea' in that all the other first-person shooters seem to neglect the single-player experience (as q3 has done).
I think the noise they were experiencing was from the air circulating gear (which would be literally as loud as a vacuum cleaner) that were there temporarily too keep the air circulating until the Zvezda module arrives with perminant air scrubbing/circulating gear.
It sounds like this guy hasn't done much real-world testing of rockets of any kind. The article didn't mention any tests of full-sized mockups of the capsule to see if the damn thing will fly right. His propulsion system seems to be pretty simple, but there are still many things that could go wrong along the way. I know I wouldn't risk my life on an untested design, especially one made by someone who seems to have no experience at all. One other thing is that the FAA tends to be fairly bitchy about high-powered/amature rocketry using tested and certified componants. He'd have to do quite a bit of legal wrangling to get permission for this.
Being forced to buy new hardware because of new software isn't a 'good thing'. That sounds like Microsoft 'if it's too slow/unstable for your computer, you need a new computer' Windows.
A flop is a 'Bad Thing', it means that there weren't many people there, and was generally boring. (Note: I'm not talking about LinuxFest, just in generalities)
Just so you know... you don't need extra keys to operate winamp:) The five control buttons are mapped to Z, X, C, V, and B respectivly, and volume is controlled by arrow-keys up/down.
The origional P2's were Klamath, as is mine. Are you still using the old OEM heatsink? Screw/drill out the screw-rivets holding it in place and buy yourself a decent heatsink/fan. I got the VIVA-TF from TennMax and mine has been sucessfully overclocked to 266 for over a year and a half, while the temp of the heatsink is 36 C (as I'm writing this).
The entire case (save for cable, drive and air intake/outlet holes) could have two layers and use a vacuum or a slightly pressurized innert gas as a sound barrier. The layers between the inside and outside shells would have a buffer betwen them so no vibrations could be transferred to the outside of the case.
You already can! Most of the time that is. Go to the NASA-TV section of NASA's Spaceflight page and you'll probably be presented with a prerecorded earthview from the previous mission or shots from the current mission (if there is one).
I don't believe they object to your playing the DVD through a licensed player, then capturing the analog output and resampling into your academic work as fair use.
But, licensed players use macrovision which makes it (nearly) impossible to get an analog copy.
The only problem with a one time pad is that the random string ends up being as big as the message itself, so it's a real waste of space. Not to mention the fact that it still requires a secure way to get the huge random string to the recipiant.

The point isn't that you should read the source for everything you use, it's that you can. Just like the analogy of a car with it's hood welded shut, most people would never have the need to open the hood and mess around inside, but if you do feel the need you're free to do so.

But as Tom reported, you don't want to get sloppy with that etching, and end up dissolving the tiny contacts themselves along with the traces.

He means raindrop as in the still-falling-through-air variety, which has a spherical front end with a tapered back.

That's why I said there'd be inlets and outlets for airflow, but they needn't be that large.

The only buffers needed would be a few for on the bottom, sides, and around the openings.

Bah! Tux needs the q1 rocket launcher, a hardcore weapon, not a q3 arcade-ish RL.
