What's all this, then? Using restricted words without a licence, are we? Right! Come along, there's a good chap. We'll let you out sometime after 2012, don't you worry.
What's that? Oh? No license? Oh.
Oh, dear. Right, it seems I'll be joining you since the Met didn't feel the need to invest in a licence either. Move over, Guv.
And outside the US, the manual to automatic ratio is reversed to the point that only the disabled and taxi drivers use automatics. What does that prove?
TFA states that the faster protocol that older devices can be firmware-upgraded to (IrSimple) is just a regular 4mbps Fast IrDA version with less overhead. The VFIR (16 mbps) and UFIR (100 mbps) protocols in development will surpass current hardware capabilities and current devices cannot be upgraded to them.
Now, although the editor may feel that the submitter knows more about a subject field than he (or she), just a cursory glance through the linked main article to see how well it jives with the write-up should be in order. I'm just saying'.
I had hoped someone had developed a "user easy" way of doing it.
Oh, they have. Zillions of ways actually. There's no standard to make an e-mail client tell the server that the user is on vacation, so you end up with webmail-powered kludges, one or more for every webmail/MTA combination there is. You should be able to find one for whichever webmail program you're using - but you're almost guaranteed that another webmailer got the "good" vacation kludge and you got stuck with one of the bad ones.
It's implemented by using a.mailfilter file in the user's home directory per the descriptions in the maildrop docs. How to change the.mailfilter file is left as an exercise to the reader but Courier's own webmail has support for it.
I was joking, but how would a powered orbit inside the atmosphere be much different from a powered flight inside the atmosphere? Especially if the "orbiting spacecraft" would have wings generating lift...
"And let's repeat: somebody who doesn't want to _protect_ that name would never do this. You can call anything "MyLinux", but the downside is that
you may have somebody else who _did_ protect himself come along and send
you a cease-and-desist letter." [...] "It's all about whether _you_ need the protection or not, not
about whether LMI wants the money or not."
Which is what I wrote. Or at least, it's what I meant.
4a) Keep Linux in the name, don't pay for a license and look stupid as someone else does buy a license and use your product's name.
Or, if no one would want to copy your product's name:
4b) Keep Linux in the name, don't pay for a license and live happily ever after.
You do not have to buy a license to use the name Linux. You do have to buy a license to get trademark protection for your product name, iff it includes the word "Linux".

I just heard some sad news on a news podcast - boy band singer Jamie Kane was found dead in a helicopter off the Dutch coast this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly a British icon.
Well, two if you include the WikiPedia article, which appears to have gotten most of the data from this page which I didn't include in my original post since it appears biased against nuclear power in general, as opposed to this page which appears biased in favour of CANDU reactors in particular (that page is where I found the detailed report I cited because it appeared to be both more factual and more balanced than the others.).
Regardless of our little game of Google, I think we can agree on that the release (either through the water only or through air and water) was minimal and all reports I have seen agree that among the servicemen and clean-up crew there has been no rise in fatality or even elevated risks for cancer after the accident.
Being an industrous information-digger, I quickly found this detailed description of the accident:
AIR QUALITY EFFECTS
Air flowing through the calandria tubes provided one of the means of cooling the fuel rods. From the one fuel rod which was air-cooled alone, it was estimated that the fission products from an estimated 30 kg of uranium were released to the cooling air and then discharged through the stack. The wind was from the west at about 4 m/s. Staff at a neighbouring building called the control room to report that their radioactivitvy detectors were off- scale. An electrician who was up a pole adjacent to the reactor stack and who was wearing radiation monitoring film received a dose of 350 millirems. The emergency siren to stay indoors was sounded at 15h17. Extensive monitoring was undertaken downwind all that weekend, and radioactivity was detected up to 400 m on either side of the plume centreline. Traces of activity in buildings were cleaned up the following week.
Frankly, I've always thought that Carter's moves on energy were irrational and borderline cookoo given that he and I attended the same nuclear power training several decades appart.
Maybe you never had the misfortune of having to clean up after a nuclear accident? And maybe he had access to a lot more information about these accidents than you or I ever will? I dunno, that's why I asked if anyone knew why he banned breeders. Apparently, it was an attempt to hinder proliferation of weapons-grade plutonium, a subject I suspect never came up in your nuke power training...
Cite source for clean-up as the Navy had not yet had one accident by the time he was discharged. To this day, we are still waiting for a screw up.
December 12, 1952 - The first serious nuclear disaster occurred at the NRX reactor in Chalk River, Canada. A massive power excursion destroyed the core, resulting in a partial meltdown. A series of hydrogen gas explosions threw a four-ton gasholder dome four feet (1.2 m) into the air, where it jammed in the superstructure. Thousands of curies (several terabecquerels) of fission products were released into the atmosphere, and a million US gallons (3,800 m) of radioactively contaminated water was pumped out of the basement into shallow trenches not far from the Ottawa River. The core was buried. Jimmy Carter, then a nuclear engineer in the US Navy, was among the cleanup crew.
President Carter used execuitive order to ban fast breeder reactors back in the 70's
As an old Navy Nuclear technician that was personally involved in atleast one radiation clean-up, I would imagine he had some very good reasons for doing that at the time. Would you happen to know his reasons for banning them and if they may still be valid?
Check with Fox Technologies (formerly known as TFS Tech and TenFour). The TFS Gateway did multiple mail system integration and automatic e-mail retention way back in 1997 when I used to work there. They seem to be pushing SOX compliance pretty hard these days so give them a call.
However, the Russians did have 3 deaths in space, on one of the Soyuz/Salyut missions
You mean Soyuz-11, the one with the leaky cabin? They could very well have been inside the atmosphere at the time of death, just not with enough air pressure to sustain life. I'm not sure if they figured out exactly when they died.

Well I don't think so, since he's already done that once. :-)
Yeah. But misleading. To quote Linus himself:
Which is what I wrote. Or at least, it's what I meant.

Two million is more than a few thousand. We're talking a difference of 2 Mhz compared to a difference of a few kHz here, not absolutes.
I really, really hope you did that by hitting him over the head with it. The English side, of course. Was it heavy?

But there are more:
The reactor building was contaminated, as well as an area of the Chalk River site, and millions of gallons of radioactive water accumulated in the reactor basement.
when a nuclear reactor at an experimental installation in Chalk River, Canada, suffered a meltdown and some radioactive material escaped into the atmosphere.
"There was some release of radioactivity"
Regardless of our little game of Google, I think we can agree on that the release (either through the water only or through air and water) was minimal and all reports I have seen agree that among the servicemen and clean-up crew there has been no rise in fatality or even elevated risks for cancer after the accident.
That was my first thought as well. :-)

I never said it was a Navy screwup. Non-Navy screw ups galore.
