Oh? Have you read the history of Valium development? It was developed entirely in house, the guy who created it experimented with many different, completely new compounds. He was already funded by the drug companies from the start, working for them as a researcher. Please find me the university research that led to that.
After recently trying valium for the first time (and repeatedly after that) I think I can safely say that it's just like being a bit pissed. But without all the nice beer-dinking bit that leads up to it. However, it does wear off quicker, and doesn't give you a hangover. On balance, a good beer tastes nicer though.
There's probably plently of research students who discovered similar compounds, but they were just too stoned afterwards to write it up properly. Or just went to the union to celebrate and forgot about afterwards.
Heh, I got a Russian 419 and some spam from a Scottish company who makes wooden toys in the same day once. I set up a couple of hotmail accounts and mailed both the culprits posing as the other (I had the russian guy posing as someone who wanted to buy a vast quantity of toys for all the branches of the largest department store in Russia). Once I had gotten a telephone and fax number for the Scottish guy I arranged a telephone meeting to discuss the deals.
With enough money paid to the right powerful people, big rich corporations like ClearChannel will pay someone to solve the issue of closing this supposedly "uncloseable" Pandora's box.
"... only way I can let my workers be productive is to be one step ahead of the politics, even if that means breaking the rules."
Cool! They should base a TV show around you. "... a project manager who gets results - even if that means breaking the rules". Cut a scene of you being breated by beauracratic boss, you giving back snide comments and slamming something on the desk.
TAF is a god. leisuretown.com is inspired. and a bit sick. and don't even get me started on the dilbert hole. if you haven't read these, and they don't make feel just the slightest bit uncomfortable you are odd. or maybe i am. i can't tell any more - my sense of reality has been distorted.
I mainly knew of O'Reilly because of the de facto reference works for X during my degree in the early-to-mid nineties. As I recall I spent the mornings^Wlunch in the bar and the afternoons in class.
Also no problem with OpenSSH here, fine product. But where is (and I mean this honestly, let me know if these exist) support for distributed (signed) public keys (LDAP?) and key revocation lists? Sure you can roll your own system, but...
This is a useful list. I've done some EDI too and written an EDI parser (http://freshmeat.net/projects/medici/). It may be that you'll be needing much higher level packages, but a Perl API wrapper works for me.
Props to the guy who has has the sense to put his food in black bags to prevent it coming into contact with the flood water which is contaminated with sewage and has had dead bodies floating in it.
Naaah, he's probably just a no-good looter - i'll bet those bags which are floating on the water are really full of, erm, DVD players, Hi-Fi gear and televisions. Yes, that's it - there's barely anything in the cases these days, so they'll float no problem! Ahem.
Er, did you not notice the ~ sign in the comment - that means he was just writing the approximate figure. Go do the math from the start with your spiffy calculator and you'll see that it's right ((50000/300000) * 4 = ~0.666).

Just a shame I couldn't listen in

You haven't met Pandora! Thighs like ratchets!
Sorry dude, the front page took well over a minute to load for me.

Maybe you could solve crime in your spare time?

Ah, those wasted afternoons.
Can you spare a quarter?
The Army. With fricking lasers.
Oh wait, they're all in Iraq. Never mind.
Er, a good book?

Not that I even know if SSH has this.
Ethics? Don't talk to me about Ethics, I own half of it! Hwah-hwah-hwah!

Ditto. Seems more like a PR shill than news to me. Bad The Register! Surely you can't be descending to /. levels of trivia?
Dude! Sense of humour bypass?
The mail "databases" are spread among Domino servers

Yeah, but we all know what happens when one of these Domino servers falls over

Cripes, given these newer 256 and 512 bit algorithms why am I still stuck on this crummy 1 bit version?!
how to calculate a trip to Mars?
1) Leave Earth
2) ???
3) Arrive Mars
4) PROFIT!!!
Brazil, Naked Lunch, but most vividly Max Headroom/Edison Carter come to mind.

If it has fractional dimensionality doesn't that technically make it fractal?
