The letter that the school translated in Spanish, must have been given to a second grader to translate. If this letter is what they gave the students to take home, it sure is confusing to figure out what Menlo Park Elementary is expecting from their students. The school needs to hire a good translator instead of inventing words that do not exist or showing just plain ignorance when writing.
I reminded of Ayn Rand's "Anthem". This is sounds sooo similar to the difficulty of the story's postulate that the society had difficulty upgrading from torches to candles due to the approval process.
I note with some amusement that the Yahoo story says "possibly illegal probe of media leaks" and the Slashdot story emphasizes "internal investigation of possible illegal media leaks". Is there a hidden agenda here?
Due to the announcement of the shutting down of NORAD at Cheyenne Mountain in this Slashdot announcement on June 30th. It is plainly obvious, Stargate-SG1 cannot continue without Air Force facilities!
It is obvious from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Notice the screen edge curvature. Hasn't anyone ever noticed they're still using regular old TV tubes at the enginerring consoles?
"Laziness is counter-revolutionary!" and "Questions are decadent!" -- is played repeatedly to encourage the employees to work harder. (Season thirteeen, Episode twenty.)
About twenty years ago it was a common practice to remove and re-insert cards in an HP2680A terminal. It was explained to me the (gold plated) leads somehow lost their connectivity. Since the cards DID wobble a little, I accepted it as a plausible explanation. It usually worked too.
Sorry for the late reply. I'm trying to be insightful here. Sunspots and HF propagation run in 11-year cycles and we are in the middle of cycle 23 that started in the year 2000 and ends in 2011. Regardless whether this the original story was a hoax or not, the method described could be a spy agency's "workaround" due to bad HF propagation this year!
Actually our shop is still using an HP3000 in production and expects to be doing so for at least another 5 to 10 years. The thing just keeps on runnin'. A third party vendor has put a decent GUI front end on our main application and it links data seamlessly to other Windows applications. The main reason we hold back against converting to something else is our hardware is fully depreciated. As I agree HP has abandoned the HP3000 user community, I think it is also entirely appropriate HP no longer gets a dime from us. Why waste a few million on a new platforms and new software like SAP when we can keep our business running efficiently at minimal cost?
Actually, it IS ass-backwards. If you remember the file structure: FILE.GROUP.ACCOUNT was converted to POSIX, therefore the same thing now looks like:/ACCOUNT/GROUP/FILE. (Albeit you can now add more subdirectories.) And the IMAGE database? Just turn the IMAGE structure diagrams Upside Down and it looks like a Relational database!
I agree Hackmaster is brilliant. My primary reason is thus: It allows you to continue to play all the old modules with minimal conversion. Ibid. Dr. Spork said above. I don't worry too much about Psionics. It will come around eventually. Planar operations are also lacking, but that's in the works also.
I agree. It is a typical industry standard Intermec style (or Zebra) label printer. They could have changed the roll inside the window for better realism.
Just a coincidence Made-for-TV Movie 'Mayday' was shown last night? Part of the plotline was a corporation and government trying to put the kabosh on why a plane was going down. (The review said it was like a serious remake of "Airplane!" Yes the plot cause of the incident is dissimilar, but corporate and government the motives are not.

This is an old but always interesting story every time it crops up.
I suppose this will change Carbon Dating calculations on eharmony also?

I'm reminded of Ayn Rands "Anthem" where it took committee authorization to switch from torches to candles!
Check the Critical Hit Table of course!
Any port scan would have to come from within the IC.

I sent this in two days ago with detailed links on the Straits. Why does Kalpatin get the credit?
Anyone notice the suspension of Habeas Corpus in the bill? Why if your suspected of supporting terrorism, you could simply disappea...
This bugs the question: It wasn't in digital format to begin with?
But only Nixon could go to China!

How's THAT for a conspiracy theory?

Those are just links to already released news reports. The cat has been out of the bag for about a week on this one. No offense.

You forgot to mention "Gettysburg" 51,112!

I too have a shameless plug in that I host free telnet text games. My URL is germane to the topic.
