What makes it extra beautiful for the geeky crowd is that it doesn't even touch the sci-fi aspects.
Doesn't that make it a less desirable movie for the geeky crowd? I like science. I enjoy movies that have science in them. I think many geeks feel the same way. Why would a touchy-feely movie be "extra beautiful" for the geeky crowd?
According to Internet Traffice Report [internettr...report.com], overall global traffic is down the last three days
You're mistaken. The "global traffic index" on ITR is a measure of response time, not "overall global traffic" like you claim. The number is lower meaning that the global index is down, i.e. things are going more slowly. If you would have bothered to look at the 2 graphs below the graph you reference you would have noticed the global response time has gone up and packet loss almost doubled when the war began.

That's one [of the many] reasons to build it on the equator. There are no hurricanes or tornados on the equator and it is generally out of the Jet Streams. Weather-wise you really can't ask for a better spot.
I personally don't understand why we need masers if we have the space elevator. Run a power line up the goddamn thing, and be done with it.
I guess you could run a superconductor up it, but at those lengths the resistance in a normal conductor would just be too great. Current superconductors need extensive cooling equipment-it is not practical for suspension from an elevator. Conventional conductors (Al, Cu, etc.) would be way too heavy and have way too much resistance to be of any use. Given an extremely lightweight, room temperature superconductor the most efficient power distribution might be from the cable itself, but until then I think the optically powered climber is the best solution.
First, the Moon is made of lighterweight material blown off of the Earth's surface, and is poor in materials from the Earth's mantle and core. We see this in the aluminum-rich lunar highland geologies. We also know by measuring the mass and density of the Moon by Apollo and other scientific instruments. Overall, the Moon is not very dense.
The mantle has heavy metals that are carried by convection from the core. While the Moon has some heavy metals, it certainly isn't close to the concentrations the the mantle.
Furthermore, the Moon is thought to be geologically like the Earth's mantle. You know, the top bit where we get all of our metals and minerals from.
Although most of your post was accurate, I think this is a little off the mark. I believe what you meant to say was the Moon is thought to be geologically similar to Earth's crust, not mantle. The mantle is molten material beneath the crust. IIRC, the Moon is geologically stable and has no liquid core (and hence no magnetic field to shield solar radiation). The earth's crust is so rich in heavy metals because it is constantly being replenished from the mantle via upwelling at tectonic plate boundaries (i.e. volcanoes, ocean vents, etc). AFAIK, the moon is made from much lighter material (mostly silicates) and does not have the abundance of heavy metals that the Earth possesses. There will be some heavy metals due to asteroid impacts, but I think our 'gold mine' on the moon will be He3, O2, and H20.
Which part of the water atom goes bang and makes rockets move?
Is this a rhetorical question or am I simply too dense to get your humor? If you split apart a water molecule you get 2 Hydrogen atoms and 1 Oxygen atom. Hydrogen is a highly flammable gas that has been used in a high number of space vehicles. All you have to do is add an oxidizer (like the other half of the water molecule we split apart) and you have yourself a rocket. If you use solar power on the moon to split water, you can get the fuel to orbit for much less cost than you can lift it from earth. This could be critical for sending missions to other planets. On most space missions, the fuel massively outmasses anything else. If the fuel were produced in space, it would make it much less expensive to undertake the exploration of our solar system as you would have to lift less mass out of Earth's gravity well. The Hydrogen and Oxygen would also be handy around the moon base as well for power and respiration, respectively.
On the other hand, you still might be hosed if someone goes back and hands the time machine blueprints to someone else, pushing the invention of time travel backward. I'm going to stop before I give myself a headache.
Actually, that is one of the main arguments against time travel being possible. If it WAS possible, then it certainly would be invented at some time in the future and would subsequently find its way into the past. The absence of time travelers suggests that it never will be invented (or that they are REALLY good at keeping a secret in the future).

Currently the system is running mostly on HP-UX servers. But people have realized that they are paying far to much for what they get, so they have started replacing these HP Servers with cheap Intel boxes running Red Hat. No one seems to care about the fast response time for on-site maintenance, because HP NEVER meets their contracted maintenance time to begin with. [The FAA pays for 4 hour response time on the HP machines and I can not recall a single instance in the last two years that HP has made the time slot at any site in the nation, occasionally taking MULTIPLE DAYS].
That may be true but HP is not Sun. When I worked in a Sun shop if we had a hardware problem the techs were on-site WITH the parts they needed in under an hour. It was pretty much the same with the Cisco support contract we had.
If you pay the big bucks, you CAN have good service. And there will always be companies that pay the big bucks to have a higher measure of reliability (and lower downtime). If the downtime costs you more than the support contract, it is a smart buy.
Just because HP has crappy service doesn't mean everyone in the segment does as well.
Software RAID, excepting mirroring a pair of drives, sucks. Period. The performance hit is not worth the return. Ever do stripping in software? Worse, RAID 5 in software? It sucks
Hmm, I get rather good performance from my IDE software RAID-5. As far as I can tell, reading from the buffers pretty much maxes out the PCI bus and I also get good performance for actual platter reads. Here are some quick numbers:
(granted this is not an exhaustive benchmark)
hdparm -tT/dev/md[0-1]
/dev/md0: Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 0.74 seconds =172.97 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 1.51 seconds = 42.38 MB/sec
/dev/md1: Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 0.74 seconds =172.97 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 1.68 seconds = 38.10 MB/sec
Not spectacular, but certainly more than fast enough for my media server. Also probably better than I could do on a 68-pin Ultra Wide SCSI bus, even with multiple drives.

Theoretically, the things that got changed in the kernel (TiVoWeb, etc), will be obsolete if the software updates that were promised come through
Yeah, giving Tivo money for something I can do myself sounds like a great tradeoff. For example, their new home media package costs an extra $150.00 just to use 2 Tivos. From tivo.com: Is there a cost associated with Home Media Option? Yes. The Home Media Option package requires a one-time registration fee of $99 for the first TiVo Series2 DVR. Each additional TiVo Series2 DVR in the home you'd like to add to your home network will be charged a one-time registration fee of $49.
The TiVo hacking community does not support it to a large degree...it's kind of like the hack to read the video fom the player...TiVo doesn't want it done so their wish is respected because of all of the support they give to the hacking community...
Support?????? Maybe in the past, but not anymore. The Tivo Series 2 boxes are locked down rather heavily. The boot ROM checks for a signed kernel, if it's not signed, it won't run. The kernel checks for modifications to the file system, if any are found it replaces the files and reboots. Although there have been some reports of hardware hacks to replace the ROM, it's not exactly what I would call "all of the support they give to the hacking community".
Not to mention the whole 3.2 backdoor code debacle. After thousands of hours of CPU time, the project had to be abandoned. The conclusion was that Tivo has either used an invalid hash or very long key sequence as the backdoor code in version 3.2, when previously the codes were short and easily hacked. It is just one more example of how hostile Tivo is becoming to hackers.
Tivo is attempting to create an image of greater security (keeping out the dirty hackers) on a software and hardware level in order to market the ability to distribute content with the Tivo as a DRM platform. If you can't hack it, you pretty much have to accept any restrictions they put on content delivered to you. They can deliver PPV events that are deleted after 1 day or not able to be recorded at all.
Fortunately, I have a Series 1 and can do whatever I like with it. I have a backup of every software revision Tivo has put out, so I can revert to an earlier version at any time. I certainly am not going to allow Tivo to send me any more updates, the boot ROM in the S1 is flashable so it's quite possible for Tivo to send down updates that lock me out of my machine.
New Tivo owners are not so lucky. There is no reverting to an earlier version of your brand-new Tivo. I have recommended Tivo to friends in the past but given the disregard for the community that has staunchly supported them (not only by buying subscriptions but by keeping extraction and guide replacement information difficult and obscure and by adding value for other users-free of charge) I don't know if I can still recommend them. I do like the UI but what really got me to buy one was the hack potential. Now that they have no hack potential, the luster is gone and I see the company for what it is: moneygrubbing fools that will alienate their most loyal users for a few quick bucks.

Police in Nacogdoches, Texas, reported "numerous pieces of debris" both inside the city limits and in Nacogdoches County.
"Information is really sketchy," Det. Greg Sowell said. "We want people to stay away, because some of it could be toxic."
Sowell said officers and city and county employees were being dispatched to stand by the debris until the arrival of FBI and NASA representatives.
