I certainly know the USS Nautilus used liquid sodium as coolant, and was reported to glow faintly purple in the dark partly as a result of "issues" with that system
One thing to watch for is pervs swapping kiddie porn over the LAN (it happens).
Talking to the local law enforcement beforehand and ideally getting them to make an overt walk around, combined with advertising their presence in advance goes a long way to scaring away these undesirables.
The last thing you want is your LAN being used to transfer this stuff, particularly if you end up getting subpoenaed down the line for someones trial.
A committed intelligent enemy is going to have radio direction finders in simple munitions and will make mincemeat of any army deploying this stuff seriously.
great for beating up spear-chuckers, not much else.
All of the "widget beers" get beautiful heads by cheating.
For those who haven't tried it, those big cans of guiness have a pressurised nitrogen canister inside, when you open the can the pressure drops and the nitrogen comes out (many english beers in the big cans do the same)
"natural beer" achieves carbonation in the fermentation process (yeasts eats sugar, excretes C02 and alcohol - still liquor requires bleading the CO2 off one way or another)
A good head on a natural beer requires careful balancing of the sugars used in fermentation to get the right mix of carbonation and surface tension.
(I can make fizzy beer no problem, fizzy beer with a good head is trickier, decent taste harder still)
The use of nitrogen is a cheat to get that dense head (guiness on tap doesn't use CO2 - seperate gas bottles)
Guiness in a bottle is "natural beer", in the big cans its the cheat beer you get on tap.
Also as has been pointed out, ultraviolet degrades hops (natural beer flavour and preservative), so glass bottles exposed to light will bugger up your beer pretty quickly - hence tradional brown bottles.
So in short, yes the can stuff is "better".
Hand drawn ales, drawn from a cold, but unrefrigerated cellar are best (if you're into stouts and ales)
If you don't have access to a proper pub (and hand drawn ales do not travel well) then a can wih a widget is your best bet.
Countries that can afford the largest IT sectors (much - albeit not all - IT spending is discretionary) are more able to afford legitimate licences.
Interestingly the countries whose people make the largest contributions to Free Software tend to be the free-est and richest.
I would say freedom brings wealth, which in turn can be traded for the convenience of software licences, but also allows the free time to devote to Free Software.
But does anyone think BSA is anything other than a shakedown outfit?
caustic soda, aluminium and water was the winner in my dangerous teenage days.
filled a couple of balloons, tied a string to them, sprayed hair spray over the string, let it go up to the end of the string, light the end of the string and a few seconds later "boom" instant UFO!
Australian firefighting, except when the fire hits urban areas, almost never uses "direct attack"
the favoured method is to backburn a firebreak if conditions allow and let the fire hit the break and starve.
if conditions don't alow backburning then a handy road or river is used as a "containment line" and fiorefighters try to put out the spot fires that jump the line.
two sets of containment lines were breached on the friday (17 Jan) in the mountains to lead to Saturday's catastrophe.
in the worst case scenario, where backburning isn't possible and there are no roads or rivers to act as a containment line, bulldozers and graders are used to create a line.
yesterday they built a line from Hall, in the north of the territory, to the cotter road, some 40 kilometres, in order to try and head off what could be a very and day today with the Nor'Westers forecast to return.
Commonwealth, State, and Military units have been added to the local firefighting effort so we might get some luck.

Oddly enough soliders use TOW missiles a lot more than terrorists.
former communist then (albeit nominally), it was behind the iron curtain, being a tad pedantic on that one my friend.

thats a drogue design issue, and comes back to weight questions, its easily done if weight is no object (as with most things in spacecraft design)
but 100 yards of kevlar ribbon will bring terminal velocity down a long, long ways.
and there are better designs still.

regular beer on tap uses CO2 for pressure,
"creamy head" expensive ales use N2
and yes I've opened up plenty of the cans.
they release N2.

8 years old for me...
but did you understand it?
Interestingly (alarmingly?) I find its irrevocably coloured my moral awareness.
Now i don't thinki thats a bad thing, but i wouldn't from where I stand would I?
nice one!
doing so now.
thats why it relies on multiple observations to filter out the noise.

Yeah ditto
and i forwarded it to all my friends before realising.
angry nerds downunder out of this.
Someone might burn down jackson's house if he's not careful
much easier ways to make it than that.

There's nothing wrong with companies getting this information, organising, indexing, sending to subscribers etc etc, and charging for it.
what is totally an utterly wrong is when the courts, tribunals and governmetn agencies give exclusive distribution contracts to ANYONE.
they should be acting like common carriers.
and they should defeinitely be amintaining their own libraries.
if the big end of town find it easier to pay someone to aggregate that information thats their perogative.
so long as everyone else can go to the source if they need it.
If the source amterial is still publicly available then why should aggregators be forced to give access?
check your referrers log
are they coming to you for just that word?
except for when their allies are in the region of course.

set the pppd to auto redial and he can just turn the modem on when he wants to get online.
what sort of nerd ARE you?
or put a button on his task bar to execute pon.
I mean really this seems extremely inconsiderate and unkind of you.
never read any country's press to determine what the rest of the world thinks.
All you'll get reading the Age is what Australian's (southern Australians at that) think the world is thinking.
thats where the supercavitating comes in.
"d'uh"
well dude,
you're running a very strange and different setup to the rest of the world.
Ctrl+t opens a new tab BTW.

we've had several heavy rains in the last month.
my roof in Downer flooded even.
but is *HAS* been dry and the rivers and reservoirs are low.
Phil Koperburg the NSW Rrural Fire Commissioner seems to disgaree with your assessment.
maybe you know more about it than he does?
