It seems pretty clear to me that there is one thing we all should do to help end this complete madness: join EFF and contribute money. Without it, they cannot fight extremely well-financed corporations. An EFF membership can be as low as $20 for the student/low-income membership. A basic membership is $65. Higher level memberships are a better way to support your basic rights. Plus, with at least the $65 membership, you get a really cool T-shirt (if they still have them).
EFF has done a lot of really great things over the last decade. Check out their site at http://www.eff.org to find out about what they've done to protect us. Then, join at https://www.eff.org/support/joineff.html . They are seriously underfunded when compared to the mega-corps they are up against. Plus, it's all tax deducatable. Gross injustices are being done to the geek community -- show your support against this.
Interesting little problem on my 3500. Occasionally when coming out of a suspend, I hit the "g" and it gives me a "5" as well (so I can't enter a g without getting a "g5"). Same things with h and 6, backspace and \, and - and '. Pretty odd. How hard is it to replace the keyboard yourself? Can't seem to find much documentation on this one..
Hmm... I have a Dell Ispiron 3500 and can't seem to get it to run at 800x600. While this may not seem incredibly useful, I've had to project on several occassions, and unless I can get the laptop to work at this resolution, I can't really do it (so i just project from a console -- luckily, this has been sufficient so far). Anybody having more luck than me?
Also, dell seems to have added a linux software directory on the inspiron 7000 series page, but not on the 3500. Maybe this will change....
Or you could get a 27 GB maxtor (imho, better than the quantums) for $260 (http://necxdirect.necx.com/hai/prod_page.html?key =0000139200&nonce=guest) Kind of nice. I have 2 17.2 GB maxtors that you can get for under $180 at surplus auction. They serve me very nicely, along with another drive for a total of 40 GB right now, and soon to be about 70 with that 27 GB maxtor). To answer the question, cdparanoia and bladeenc are good for what i do. I actually care about sound quality, so i encode at 160 or 192 now, and that seems to work nicely. Couldn't tell the difference between that and the original cd when i did some informal tests last year, so I pretty much don't use audio cds. Yinon
I wish!. Actually, the IUPAC systematic names are just temporary names assigned to the elements. It takes the chemical organizations 20 years or so, but eventually they get real names.
We have all the passwords in a different database, with a few small exception (extra e-mail accounts that were not set up properly, etc.) That's an issue i'll have to resolve before starting the moveover.
I have a similar quesion, but about the implementation rather than the cost. I will be working for an ISP that is already set on changing over from NT mail, web, and DNS servers (which sits somewhere else) to a local, Linux based mail, web, and DNS servers (one each). The DNS is not too hard, and neither is the web (except for case sensitive links). However, mail transfer for several thousand users might be an issue. I'm looking for documentation about moving from a NT system over to a linux based sendmail system, while not loosing user mail and doing this fairly quickly and reliably. Does anybody know of any sites, books, or any other sort of documentation about this? I'm sure that I'm not the only one who's had to do this.
113 has not been sythesised, but 112 has been. This information appeared in the last issue of Science, and the only information not mentioned is that the atom hangs around for about 30 seconds, which is pretty cool, considering 112 only existed for about 280 ms before decaying into something else.
About the naming: the element will assume the name ununquadium (as explained at http://www.chemicalelements.com/sup/sysname.html) until it is given an official name by IUPAC (assuming there is no conflict between them and ACS, of course).

Give me some credit, please.

Isn't ssh1 voulnerable to some nasty buffer overflows? (The ones used to hack into rootshell)

Hi there,

Just to answer a few questions about the element:
