Acually, at least Firebird is available for debian in testing and unstable ("apt-get install mozilla-firebird";-) ). Have not seen any trace of Thunderbird in any official debian distribution, though.
That's exactly what I thought when I read this. How do they ensure a reliable power supply (i.e. uptime...) over some years? There won't be much time left in the case of a sudden failure.
Actually, the frog thing was an experiment at the Nijmegen High Field Magnet Laboratory in the Netherlands. They have a video on their webpage, http://www.sci.kun.nl/hfml/froglev.html , and a very interesting letter they got concerning their experiment.
However, I am afraid access to the page currently is very slow.
One step closer to the frequency of a typical microwave oven (around 2.4 GHz)... Imagine, your pizza will never get cold if you just put it on top of your tower.
These vans are not capable of detecting a single tv set in your room. This is technically impossible (your tv is only recieving programs, not sending. Their equipment is not that sophisticated to scan the low emission level of your tv). All they are doing is to test the quality of terrestrial broadcasting.
In Germany we are having the same system of a monthly tv fee, collected by the GEZ (Gebuehreneinzugszentrale). You are expected to pay that fee, and they sometimes send people to households who don't, trying to find out whether you own a tv by asking trick questions or something like that...
Its a bit off-topic, maybe. It's not a computer at all... And we are not small business. They must have known why to make this restriction. Guess how many old boxes you would find at universities...
We have an old hardware vt100 terminal here, in a storage room for old computer stuff. I wonder if it would still be working...
It's before my time, I'm afraid, does anybody know when these boxes have been used, and what you needed for using it (or what machine to use this was needed for...)?
I currently have 'music' deactivated. As it should be, no topcis concerning 'music' are displayed any more. However, there still appears the 'music' icon in the topright icon bar. It's irritating somehow...

You should also mention ESO's VLTI here, the Very Large Telescope Interferometer at Mt. Paranal, which is just taking its first shots...

The levitating frog... Here you go:

...I can deactivate ActiveX support under Linux, too. Great!

Actually,someone thought about hieroglyphs in UCS (this was mentioned in the quickies section some time ago):

I don't know whether it is/will be implemented at the end. Looking at the limited character space, probably not.
