You may want to rethink that part. For one, unless you have pathetic DNS servers, I doubt you'd ever notice doing the lookups. And if just once, that IP happens to be down, or has moved, the time it would take you to figure out the problem, you'd have lost all the time you "saved".
I wonder if they actually keep the logs. For most of the sites I run, I don't, at least not for any significant length of time. Generally I run sites on CentOS which I believe has a default log rotation of 5 days. That's enough for me for troubleshooting, which is all I'm really worried about.
That's definitely the best idea I've heard. Regulate the timings on traffic lights, specifically the minimum time a light stays yellow based on the maximum speed of the road.
We were waiting to get genetic testing done on my wife, but they've come back and said get CK levels done on the kids first. We're hoping to get those done this week. We did get a CK level done on my wife, and hers was 320. Given she's physically active, it pretty much doesn't tell us anything.
The one positive is that no one else on my wife's side of the family has had, or shown symptoms of muscular dystrophy, which leads me to believe that her sister became a carrier as a result of a mutated egg, and did not inherit it. From what I've read, 33% of cases start that way, which is good news for my wife and I. In any case, its going to be hard to watch our nephews since we are quite close.
I just found out that two nephews of three are positive for DMD. This basically confirms that my sister-in-law is a carrier. We're in the middle of trying to determine if my wife is a carrier, and thus if our two sons are at risk. To say the least this is a very stressful time in our lives, and there are no quick answers. However, seeing a big jump like this in treatment is great news.
Even growing up in a small town I didn't really comprehend how many stars there were until we went camping. We were in Dinosaur Provincial Park and once it got dark it was amazing. With almost no nearby light pollution, you can clearly see an arm of the milky way overhead. Even without that arm, there are too many stars to count.
While that was a great movie, I don't think we'll worry about people trekking toward it. Its generally only visible for a few minutes at a time. Its not geostationary.
And you could always fit it with missiles and have endless fun making the great navies of the world think they were shooting at one another.
Be careful who you do that to, since the presumed guilty party might surrender, stopping the planned war. After being convicted of the crime, he could escape, return to his ship, hunt you down, and at the last minute find a way around your cloaking technology and blast you out of the sky, er, water. Oh yeah, and his personal physician will be with him.
2 Years ago, 1G was not a lot of RAM, at least not if you are considering it for gaming.
As for a machine being obsolete in a year, I'm not sure where you got this idea. Almost two years ago I picked up an E6600 Dual Core (2.4Ghz), 2G ram, and an Nvidia 7950GT. Up until the holidays, I hadn't done a single upgrade and was playing new games, like Call of Duty world at war just fine. Over the holidays I found a good deal on RAM and went to 4 (well, 3.x) for something like $20, and also picked up a new 24" monitor. With that, I couldn't play the newest games at 1920x1080, so I picked up a 9800GT. Now I'm playing L4D, CoD, etc. with everything maxxed and seeing no noticeable drop in frame rates. So suggesting that its obsolete in 1 year is just not true. With minor upgrades (<$200), I'm still playing with graphics at their highest settings. I'm sure this machine will still be playing at relatively high settings for at least another year, which puts me at still less than $2000 over the lifetime of the machine. (Those are all CDN dollars). Not as cheap as a console, but I use it for more than just gaming.
Just drill down far enough so that the temperature of the surrounding rock is at a prime point for geothermal energy. No need to get right to the magma.
The US can require whatever it wants for people coming into the country, and they can decide on those requirements based on the citizenship if they desire.
However, housing data in Canada is a completely different story. As an IT person in Canada, I can tell you this. Whenever we outsource something that may put data in the vendors hands, its now a requirement that the data stay in Canada, specifically because of the Patriot Act. Sure, there's issues with in-transit data passing through other jurisdictions, but that's a necessary risk that can be dealt with via encryption. Raids by government officials with laws to back them up are not necessary risks, at least not for us in Canada.
First, ACTRA and SOCAN are not the government, they are special interest groups. Secondly, given the current political situation in Canada... don't expect this to go anywhere in the near future.
First of all, hydrogen isn't a power source, its a way of storing power, like a battery. Secondly, how can you say we "know" solar and wind work? Yes, they produce power, but the cost/benefit ratio isn't huge, not to mention the area needed to generate any real power. Finally, since when is nuclear new?
We can argue the whole peak oil thing to death, but I really doubt we'll be out of fossil fues in 100 years. Even still, there doesn't have to be a direct hit to the population because of it. Finally, as another posted pointed out, the lower the population the less likely it is to go extinct? That makes no sense whatsoever. The only way it makes any sense if you think extinction will come in the form of an illness, in which case its not so much the number, but the separation of the population that will ensure its survival.
I recently purchases a 2493 from Futureshop and can't say enough about it. Great monitor, and I see its even on sale again (though for a bit more than I got it on sale for). I would imagine that the smaller monitors in the same line are also respecatble.

A lot of ATMs run Windows. I know for a fact the RBC (Royal Bank of Canada) do.
Fine, I'll just make sure I'm less that 50 feet away.

Adam Savage (from Mythbusters), wrote an article in Popular Mechanics a few months ago talking about science the US education system.

I was 11 when it appeared in 1986, which puts me at age 86 when it comes back. Not guaranteed, but a definite possibility.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it the velocity, not the acceleration?
He should be forced to forever use an unpatched Windows (9x, XP, 2000, etc) as his OS on every computer.
Well at least they didn't ban four or two, without those, we wouldn't have the answer to life, the universe, and everything.

You expected a Price/Performance showdown to give you recommendations on energy efficiency?

Frozen bubble is always a good choice. Savage 2 apparently just went free, though I'm not sure how well it will run on your hardware.

Ever thought that they wouldn't have got into that type of situation if they hadn't been on the phone in the first place?
