Get over the movie, and read the book. It's much better, though it makes a different point (although I suppose you should say that the movie makes a different point). Actually, I don't think the movie makes a point at all, just some bloodthirsty entertainment with a weak thrust at commentary which, in typical hollywood style, misses.
Windows 98 SE was the biggest piece of shit on the block until WinME came out. First step is to get a half way decent OS. I'd recommend NT5 (AKA win2k), but the fact is I really don't like ANY OS out right now; they all piss me off for one reason or another.
Second, I know of nobody else that has this problem. You probably have some third party utility installed that's barfing in the corners. Also Win9x doesn't really use memory above 80 MB or so, as I understand.
If your engine really has a much better power to weight ratio and better fuel economy (eg more fuel burned per fuel weight input), consider talking to racers. Most import racers love trying out new things. If you can get someone like Tom Payne to run one of your engines, even for show, you'd get some serious publicity. You wouldn't think it, but power-to-weight (well maybe that one is obvious) and cleaner burning are pretty big concerns to serious racers, as they breed speed like rabbits on viagra.
I can't get to the stupid article, but I have a question. It looks like I'm getting a second or third floor apartment overlooking a lake widely used for recreation (eg take the boat out and anchor for a weekend). I'd have no problem offering limited access to the public, but I don't know if they will be able to reliably communicate with my base. If I make super-directional antennas, I cut out the periphery. Does the spectrum used for 802.11b carry well (eg bounce at short distances I guess) over water?

I think it was good that Picard was a little more wussy. It fit with the look and character, and made for a nice change, and great contrast with Riker. Sisko was annoying in his subservience. Janeway needed more balls. Figuratively, and probably literally. I don't want to see the trend continue.
It is my belief that if God had not intended for us to make discoveries via stem cell research (or insert your favorite "That research is against God's will!" here), then He would not have given us the intelligence to do so.
Amen to that:)
The only debate I see here is if it's right to use people's lives for experiments like this. If there was a way to get the information without having to experiment on people, we should have it. The stone age is for the cave man.
Um, wasn't there a big issue a few months ago about the 'church' of scientology threatening to sue if a post containing one of their 'secret scriptures' wasn't removed. Didn't Pater (I think) delete it? Doesn't that mean/. no longer has common carrier status?
I disagre with their doctrine, but they have just as much right to be there as Christian or Jewish clubs. Why is it that we DO have an official religion, though, the only one allowed to be promoted in public schools? Who made Atheism the official religion of the USA?
Well right now it will probably be YOUR ass going to federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison if they start poking around government gateways and such on your connection. This is America, "guilty until proven innocent." (At least *I* am in america)

LumiLeds Lighting Announces a Breakthrough LED Backlight Solution for LCD Monitors, Notebooks, and LCD Televisions.
This solution offers larger color gamut, longer battery life and eliminates the last non-solid-state component in the display.
San Jose, Calif. March 20, 2001
LumiLeds Lighting, the leader in high flux, high powered LED (light emitting diode) technology, today announced a new solution for LCD display backlights that will quickly and dramatically change the LCD backlight industry.
This LED backlight solution has been optimized around LumiLeds' new high flux LuxeonTM light sources and will enable a whole host of new features that are currently not available via conventional CCFL (cold cathode fluorescent lamp) backlight technology. LumiLeds' LED backlights are the first solid-state solutions for medium to large LCD displays in the industry, immensely more durable than the fragile CCFL while eliminating EMI and mercury completely.
The benefits to end-users are huge. The larger color gamut, up to 130% of NTSC in the backlight, will let the user enjoy an enhanced viewing experience with more saturated and real-life colors. The shade of red lipstick you purchased on the Internet and viewed on your LCD monitor will be the exact color red you receive in the mail.
Color sequential technology enabled by a fast switching LuxeonTM light source, less than 100 nano seconds, will potentially result in a battery life that will allow you to leave your power adapters at home on a typical business trip.
"We're extremely excited about our LED backlight technology", claims Mark Pugh, LumiLeds' VP of strategic marketing, "This solution will allow the LCD display market to go head-head with the incumbent CRT market and win on all performance fronts adding real value for the end user".
LumiLeds is already working with LCD panel manufacturers for mass adoption and has targeted having LuxeonTM powered backlights on the market by the end of this year.

Well email WAS peer to peer, way back in the day when you would telnet into a server (or just use a serial cable with a dumb terminal), you had POP and SMTP right there. Later in the day, it would dial up with whatever peer was scheduled, and belch out its mail, get fresh mail, and sort it. Repeat for the next host. It's only recently that we have the luxury of most servers having high-speed always on connections.

Unless you're talking using fusion to power electrolysis, wouldn't the fusion process actually USE hydrogen?
2H --> He + l (that's gamma, it just isn't on my keyboard), IIRC
Haven't you seen Back to the Future? It's not plutonium rods, it's Mr. Fusion!
Death is the ultimate deterrent. Execute a murderer, and they will never kill again.
You find me a laptop that fits in my pants pocket and I might ditch my ipaq too.

Weren't the Romulans unknown until Kirk ran into them in TOS?

Emphasis mine.
And DAMN DID IT WORK

Anyone feel like converting this clip to something that doesn't require proprietary software to view? MPEG is nice.
Amen to that

I wonder if this means we'll see an increase in the number of sterile security workers any time?

The second amendment hasn't been completely taken away. Yet. Use it before it's too late.
