The biggest reason T-REX has light rail attached to the project is that I-25 needed the serious upgrade, and most of the rail could be crammed on the highway right-of-way.
Don't get me wrong, I love light rail, but it usually can't stand on it's own.
Large structure demolition (buildings, bridges,etc) and the drill-and-shoot world are are all civil engineers. OK, some are mining engineers (civils with an aversion to sunlight)
It looks like the IR part hooks directly up to the Express, which is a problem since my Express is hidden out of sight behind the entertainment center. (I thought that was the point of it being so small, no?)
Today, it would be possible to build a damn-near invincible fortress - use granite blocks of a similar size as those for the large stones in Stonehenge as bricks, have them interlock so that shockwaves can be carried non-destructively, and build it as a gigantic geodesic dome so that impacts are tangental and not perpendicular.
I'll take your impenetrable fortress and see you rock splitters and some patience. Hell, any holes you leave for defense become quite literal chinks in your armor for me to exploit.
Please. Do not temp me and my civil engineering brethren with something unbreakable. I expect only the same from the computer scientists vis-a-vis encryption and digital security.
Me, I just control-click the disk (since I'm lacking a right-mouse key...) and selected the 'eject' option from the menu. Remarkably similar to the KDE functionality I was used to.
Yeah, I do. Just like I put on pants before I leave the house...
Way to let the cat out of the bag, Nancy.
Me, I wear pants because sunburns down there hurt.

Apparently, it's good to -30C, but the buttons are still too small. I know for a fact it's OK with ice, water and whatnot - I've had mine full of water, shaken it out, and works fine, while one of my coworkers dropped his in a puddle of grout and left it overnight by accident. We got the grout off of it with a chipping hammer, and cleaned the charging contacts with a wire brush, and it worked ok (the '4' key sticks a little..).

Seriously.
I want a phone that I can use outside in the winter with my gloves on. My nextel i58sr is pretty close, but not quite.
Well, right now, I'm listening to a recording of Schickle Mix that my computer made last night. Once again, Saturday night at 10.00 isn't the best time for interesting classical music, but Sunday afternoon is.
I mean, I'm a member of my local NPR station, and they actually provide podcasts of their self-produced shows - so it stands to reason that I should be able to make my own for the remainder.
There was a clearchannel radio station, but it sucked, and was funny trying the huge goliath trying to deal with the college students who routinely talked over the songs. Also, a great blues show on Sunday morning. The biggest problem I had with the River is that they broadcasted the college basketball events. Good for training future broadcasters (college radio's purpose, I guess), but listening to the Iowa Western Community College basketball games isn't my idea of a good time.
concrete is the actual building itself. No, in a steel-frame building, the concrete is just flooring. Buildings are systems; no component is 'the actual building'. Steel frame buildings use concrete decking, usually poured in place over steel pans, with the exterior cladding applied in panels.
steel has to be (expensively) processed into shape. Buildings are really pretty simple to fabricate. Rolled shapes (Wide flanges, channels, angles) and HSS (tubing and pipes) don't really cost much more than plate stock. Once you have these beams, the expensive processing you speak of is really pretty simple: Cut to length, punch holes, weld on tabs for connections.
The real economics of steel come about in two areas: Smaller frame and structural volume = more rentable space; Prefabricated steel frames and pans reduce the construction time and onsite labor, which is usually much more expensive.
Easy. It has to do with the fault of the employee.
I work in construction, which has a very high turnover in the craft. That is, when the job is done, we usually get rid of the workers, since there's no more work. When we're done with a piece of work, and there's nothing else for that person to do, he gets laid off. When someone fails a drug test / EEO problem / Safety incident / other problem that's the employee's fault, he gets fired.
Neither the Powerbook I have at home or the Dell laptop I have at work have flash readers. They both have USB. Both were purchased in the last year. Both have PCMCIA slots, so I could get a flash reader in there, but that's not the point.
Just tried that. Well, MacTheRipper and the Finder's burner software.
Worked perfect - Rip to the desktop, put a blank DVD-R in, drag the file from the desktop to the DVD in the finder, hit burn. Runs on my DVD player no problem.
If the Gentoo folks' numbers and graphs are right, spinning down drives and shutting down the display is about half of the energy consumption, which beats nothing.
In that linked gallery, there's a shot where a person on a bed has been blurred out. If they did a real good job, it would be another bed. As it is, the picture has the feel of a murder scene with a white sheet over the body - you can't actually see it, but you see enough to get your blood boiling and actually want to do something and catch the bastard.

How well does this work?

Nice price point, though.

I'd always heard that it was an acronym, and wikipedia seems to agree.
Apparently, SUSE = "Software- und System-Entwicklung" ("Software and system development").
Apparently, it was originally based off of Slack, not Red Hat, so that's nested errors.

Is it because I have something to hide?
Yeah, I do. Just like I put on pants before I leave the house...

I recently lived in Omaha, where a kick-ass college rock-radio station lives.

I'm a big NPR fan. My biggest problem is that I can't always listen at the scheduled times.
Streaming has helped two ways -
I can now listen at work, and I can record and listen later on my ipod.
Wicked handy.

That is one of the causes of potholes.
However, the large numbers of potholes in Gregory, TX (where it has snowed once in the last 25 years) seem to indicate that there are other causes.
Poorly compacted subbase, drainage problems, poor quality asphalt, and so on.
We have that.
It's called steel.
No, really, it works just fine.
There's an app called Software Update.
If you are online, it tells you that an update is available. The update runs in a self-contained application.
Easy. It has to do with the fault of the employee.

This looks like a great piece of software, but
Is there something equivalent for the mac?
Anyone?
No troll, no racism.
Here's the first result for a google search for 'china' and 'dollar' on economist.com, an article on how China ought to un-peg the yuan and allow flexibility in the capital market.
Now, I'm an engineer, not an economist, so I've got no idea what will happen after the devaluation, but I'm pretty sure it will happen.
Fair enough.
If the Gentoo folks' numbers and graphs are right, spinning down drives and shutting down the display is about half of the energy consumption, which beats nothing.
Unless of course he has ACPI enabled.
If you do it right, a desktop can scale back power usage like a laptop, without the need to fold in half.
Oh, when you are comparing boot times, make sure you include the time after login that windows continues the startup process.
There's a line where it's effective, though.
