You can set up MS Terminal Server to share out sessions via X. Leave everything else Linux, and whenever necessary for MS Office training give out licenses. My recollection is that the licenses are set up so that you aren't limited to a particular group of X terminals/X workstations, so this can be a cost effective way to provide access to a stable, centrally maintained NT machine, while having reliable, Linux desktops.
Of course, a better solution would be to teach people how to use computers (independent of OS or application) so that they can use whatever they have to. However, I'm not sure if that is possible for everyone.
Someone said (on NPR) that there could be differences in the way the stem cell lines were produced that could make some of them unsuitable for some research. It also occurs to me that it is possible that some of them might turn out to be genetically unsuitable.
Well, they have shown that stem cells (in rats) can be used to replace lost or damaged cells (such as those damaged by spinal cord injuries). It's not quite the same as growing a new arm, but it does involve replacement parts.
A coworker pointed out that if there shouldn't be a moral objection to using discarded fetuses. The moral objection, if one exists, must be with the people who allowed the fetuses to be created in the first place. Once that step is taken, then using the discarded fetuses for research is at least more noble than flushing them down the toilet.
You'll vote for a politician who will do what you want, but will you run for office? Voting for the right person isn't always enough. Sometimes you have to *be* the right person.
This is just the natural expansion Mutually Assured Destruction. When every human being has their own personal nuclear arms stockpile, we will have achieved the ultimate polite society. Road rage would go away quickly. Ok, a few highways would end up off-limits for a few centuries, but maybe that's the price we have to pay for mutual respect.
I always worried about U.S. & U.S.S.R. being perpetually poised on the brink, but the idea that the guy down the street could toss a nuclear hand grenade over the fence...
Also: according to NPR, there are some people in LA county who are trying to block attempts to tax the satellites...changing the rules so that satellites are exempt.
The expectation is that eventually a judge will get to decide.
My understanding is that they are being taxed because Hughes has their address in LA county & the satellites not being taxed anywhere else. Some of the LA county people are very concerned about this, because they feel that it could lead to aerospace firms leaving the area in favor of some place which agrees not to tax their satellites. Those folks are concerned about the unemployment increase that could result if Hughes (& other companies) say "Fsck you, we're moving to Philadelphia County where the county officials know how to kiss *ss!"

Actually, it was only about $27,000, and they included the engine & interior. However, I understand that I'm supposed to get on a waiting list for the right tires.
I may be mistaken, but it was my understanding that caps on california consumer's costs exist. The providers can't raise consumer's rates, but the generators can charge whatever they want. Thus the providers are selling energy for less than their costs.
I can think of cases where RGB would not apply - monochrome dumb terminals, grayscale monitors, etc. Of course, I can also think of cases where CRT would not apply - LCD panels for example.
That's called "retroactive abortion". I'm one of the big supporters of retroactive abortion rights. I believe abortion should be permitted up to the 75th trimester.
That's not a bad idea, but then we'll all have to get used Osprey's to test the code on. Or maybe the government will just give out some to help developers.
That's strange. While I was working for a university we were told that federal law requires that all student information remain private. That included mail & files on the computer system. We were only allowed to view contents of mail or files if it was necessary to solve a technical problem reported by the student, or if there was evidence that the account was compromised.

If the FBI *doesn't* arrest him, doesn't it help Sklyarov's case? I don't think the FBI can pick & choose who they prosecute.

Or maybe the other poster was just confused.

Not to be insensitive, but did Christa McAuliffe actually make it into space?

The satellites don't even pass over LA County.

What about CIV? If I attack an enemy city with atomic weapons in CIV, am I more likely to launch nuclear missles at my neighbor?
Of course there is the potential to use tools like this to come to a greater understanding of how they stood, walked, etc.
