By then there is a pretty good chance Las Palmas will have split in two and created a similar tidal wave first, so you Americans on the East Coast may well be drowned already when the asteroid arrives.
Make them do something useful. Trees just stand around all day doing nothing, so select the tallest of them and put network repeater stations on the top of them. Why buy a tower when a tree is there to do the job for you? Put those lazy trees to work I say!
If you decide to go wired, run conduit instead of wires everywhere, that way, if you decide to change your solution in later years you don't have to rip the walls up and replaster, just run new/more wires or fiber-optic cable down the conduit. {I'd like to take the credit for this idea, but I saw it in a previous Slashdot article as I was Etherneting my house)
Whilst others have suggested priningout to paper, may I suggest vellum or parchment? It's much more robust, contains less acid and doesn't burn well.
Of course finding a vast amount of sheets may be a little difficult, and I'm not sure how your average inkjet prints on such stuff, but these are minor problems.
With the huge lump of cash you'd use to buy the thing to watch 3D-porn and jerk off in front of it, you could pay a real woman to come to your place and...
You're totally correct but there are obviously millions of sad and lonely guys who don't think this way and spend billions on the end of phone sex lines, purchasing porn videos etc. Porn is obviously very successful - if you can find a totally new way of delivering it you're unlikely to fail, no matter how expensive the service is initially.
But it would also degrade performance in many other regions too. The thing is, the usefu; sateliites for 2D navigation are not the ones flying directly over Iraq, but the ones on the Iraq horizon. ( ideal GPS constellation is 3 satellites at low elevation 120 degrees apart, plus one over head). These satellites are also being useful to other navigators as well, so degrading individual satellites when they form the most useful constellation over Iraq would also fuck up someone navigating in the Mediterranean, or the Indian Ocean.
Put simply GPS Satellites just tell you the time they send a signal.
A GPS receiver gets a time signal from 3 (2d fixes) or 4 (3d fixes) satellites and since each signal takes a finite time to arrive, the distance to each satellite can be calculated. Knowing the distance to each satellite means you can find your position by means of triangulation.
Note that in Iraq, it is likely that in any 24 hour period nearly all the 21 or so satellites that are used in the system may be used to determine position, as the satellites are not stationary over the earths surface, and satellites that are used to fix postion in Iraq will at some time or other be used to fix position all over the world. You can't disable GPS fixes for a specific region.
Yes, I do know that time has to be solved for as well, I'm trying to keep the explanation simple, OK
You need to broadcast those corrections to all the GPS units in the field real time, so anything broadcasting corrections is a invitation to recieve a missile double quick time.
Those who've criticised it for it's key length have missed a perhaps an important point, which its that it encrypts without consuming the processor power of the host machine and supports full bus transfer rates whilst encrypting. If your system processor load is a bit hairy, you perhaps don't want to add to it by trying to encrypt on the CPU.
Still, the same device with AES, 3DES or similar would be much better....maybe next time!!
Johansen is accused of a criminal offence (otherwise probation and jail sentences would surely not be mentioned in the article, and the public prosecutor would not be involved) and double jeopardy must apply - or are there no such rules in Norway?
This was a criminal trial, otherwise the courts would not have the power to impose penalties like jail, probation et al. They would surely be restricted to civil penalties.
I would have thought there is some air movement up there, and it actaully has to get through the turbulent layer in the first place, so I presume it has some means of propulsion for station keeping....
Exchange offers centralised folders and mail storage etc which IIRC POP3 does not - you probably need to set up IMAP server(s) which offer broadly the same services as Exchange, and connect to almost any mail browser you care to name including OutLook.
You may also want to take a look at evolving into a Linux environment rather than doing it in one hit.
He's missed the point a little, most Open Source projects do have some form of dictator; As an example I would suggest that Linus got his own way in kernel development most of the time and only had to concede when there was a strong revolt.
Most other projects have a leader and a small team of main developers and the core group determines the main direction of any Open Source project. Other people may contribute, but its normally in the form of technical items and functionality, not "vision" and direction.
The workings of Greek courts however do seem to be simian in operation, as the original court decision to rule the law unconstitional was otherthrown for some mysteerious reason (can we say Politics interfering in the law?) by a higher court and set for a retrial until the Government decided the law was silly after all.
Any country that regards an invited group of planespotters as spies, including a granny knitting in the minibus, definitely has to get the legal system examined.
The comments about the fact that anyone may start a casino in the US are not strictly true, as I believe Gaming Commissions do regulate who may work in casinos since the bad old days of the 50's and 60's when the Mafia owned some of them. But the comments about using a was to revitalise the economy are probably dead on target - it's a trick as old as time to use foreign wars to distract people from the crappy situation at home.

Hmmm, let me think:
;-P
Omaha bomb (US citizen)
Unabomber (US citizen)
thousands of "going postal" gun incidents (US citizens)
Tell me again why you should automatically allow US passport holders onto aircraft?
Ruchard Stallman could have changed it and added "GNU/" in front of every word!
Think Cray.

Until you started on Washington fat cats and Jewish moguls, one would suspect you were being sensible.
It will be sadly missed.

Thank you thank you Thank you
Before: -9.75/-10.25 myopia
After: no glasses required
Bad experiences:
Had to have two operations to correct first eye
Side effects:
Eyes do feel dry occassionally,
Some minor halo effects in dark conditions
Opinion:
Go for it!
