Your implied reason for using heliox is totally wrong, however...
Pure oxygen is NEVER used in diving (rebreathers aside.. that's another story).
Breathing pure oxygen for a short time is not harmful at all, under normal pressure.
Heliox is used because it doesn't contain nitrogen.. not to reduce the oxygen %. (Nitrogen is what gives you the bends).
Again.. pure oxygen is NEVER used in diving; The closest thing you get is enriched air diving, and that has a very limited depth (much less than what you can do on standard compressed air, which is what most recreational divers use). Enriched air is used to stay at shallower depths longer (you can train yourself to breathe slower, due to the higher oxygen count, and stay down longer) and is great for sightseeing on coral reefs and whatnot. You would never use it for deep diving.
Different gas mixes are used the deeper you go, but all of them have a lower oxygen percentage than standard air; the higher the pressure, the less actual oxygen you want in that air.
Oxygen bars are not a joke; raising the O2 count in your blood for a short time can have good effects on a fatigued person. IT is usually beneficial.
You don't breathe pure oxygen at normal pressure because it screws with your blood chemistry, and the chemical triggers that tell you it's time for another lungful tend to not fire... meaning you end up forgetting to breathe.

A google search for "Seattle Symphony" returns "www.seattlesymphony.org" as it's first link.
Because, the Internet is NOT the "World Wide Web". It's not what you see with your web browser and email. What makes sense to you is not necessarily what someone else wants.
THe DNS system is designed to give machines and networks a name, and that's it. It's a shame that the WWW uses dns as a keyword system in the first place; I advocate going the other way; scrap the generic TLD's and stick to regional country codes.
It's not all that dangerous to work with. Certainly if you dunked your hands in a quantity of it, you could do some seriously serious damage..... but even if you spash some over your hand, it won't do much, especially if they are dry. You can stick a blob of it in your palm and carry it around even... just by swirling it a little. The lN2 that comes in contact with your skin vaporizes instantly, forming a gas layer between the liquid and your skin...
Gloves worn during these experiments I think are more because of the other things that might get really cold while working with the lN2, or breakable...
OR when you get on irc and notice someone is online from the university computer lab.... so you find someone else online from the same lab, and start asking them to describe said person.
Then you pretend you are psychic by explaining to the first person what they are wearing, what they are doing, etcterea.

Warchalking is a play on words based on the old term wardialing... calling every number in a telephone exchange to find out which ones are answered by a computer, so you would know what you could try to break in to.

What grocery store is that? how do they provide it? what kind of container do they ship it in? where are they getting it? are they making it in the store?
I've never seen a grocery store that sells dry ice (though I've seen them have some around because of dairy shipments that arrive with a few bricks of it to keep things cool)
Absolutely. Speaking from experience.. when it comes to any kind of money you actually care about, get good advice from a real tax accountant or attorney... because when the taxman comes for you because your company gave you bad information, he won't care. You can probably sue the company. but ultimately it's your responsibility, not theirs.
Everything you are talking about is to do with performance. Did I say apache was the fastest? Did I say it had cool performance innovations? Did I say "Open source is more innovative than closed?"
No, I didn't.
My point was only that Innovation does not necessarily mean invention. Nothing more.
Yes, it means all the stuff that people added to apache to let it do new things. Why? Sure, a properly written nsapi module would be faster, but that doens't help as many people get something done. You can look at stuff like php and all the other weird apache plugins as slow and crappy, but they are also highly functional, and allow a great many people to make use of them and come up with their own innovations.
That is no reason to force people to be unable to play versions in other countries.
Don't kid yourself.
Region coding is about creating artificial market barriers; so you can sell something for 50% less in some poorer country, and those in the richer country can't just import them instead of paying the local rediculous prices.
It's only there to drive profits up for these companies. IT is NOT there to "protect" anyone's rights.
This is something I don't understand; You KNOW you are taxed on the fair market value of your options when you exercise, REGARDLESS of if the price goes down later... so why on EARTH would you exercise them without selling them immediately? That's just BEGGING to get screwed. Saying they had no 'real' value because you didn't sell them is absurd; they had an effect on the market, they DID have a real value.
Remember people, when you exercise stock options you incurr a tax liability IMMEDIATLEY based on the difference between your option price and the market price. It's NOT capital gains. If you hang on to the stock, and the value goes down... you cannot use that capital loss to offset the tax liability of your options (though you can carry it forward to offset other capital gains of course)
Maby people get screwed this way, and it's because they don't take the time to talk to a GOOD tax accountant or lawyer.
So what happens when someone finds an exploit for named, gaines access to your system as named, then decides to run their own version of the daemon? Why should their program be allowed to bind to that port?

Thanks.
That makes more sense anyway.
Regarding deep diving though.. isn't that what I said? Less O2 for deep diving?
And when you say deep diviser user 100% O2 for accelerated decompression.. I assume you mean as part of the ascent...
I guess my point was that, as you probably know, the common man often thinks divers breathe pure O2.
Oxygen becomes toxic to humans under pressure.
