Actually, smaller hard disk are more resistant to shocks. The smaller the parts, the higher the mechanical eigenfrequencies. Therefore, a shock is experienced by the miniature part as a smooth motion.
I am no statistician, so correct me if I am wrong but I think it's much more probable than that.
The four bad connectors were actually found. "Acctually" translates to 100%. So the question is what is the chance of two of these four occuring at the same pair:
chance of the second fault to occur at the pair to which the first belonged: 4 in 6055 = ~ 1 in 1514
chance of third to occur at the pair of first or second: ~ 1 in 1514
chance of four to occur at the pair of first second or third: ~1 in 1514
Which adds up to 3 in 1514 = 1 in 504! A snowball in Hell?
Within 50.000 years we will have mastered wormhole travelling and allready be for generations long in M13.
Some amateur future M13 radio archeaologist will then accidentally discover this weak radio signal and wonder where the hell it came from!

The purpose of this elevator is not to go up magcially by itself. The point is the following: rockets have to carry their own weight plus the weight of the propellant which is unfortunately the largest percentage. An elevator just needs a motor to pull itself up. You could even imagine an elevator with solar panels to slowly climb its way up by grabbing th cable. Apparently these poeple propose the "pulling" to be done with magnets but the principle remains the same.
Moore was talking about the number of transistors on chips and not about Mhz's.
You can already make chips with much higher clock rates but for a number of reasons this is not done. One of them is that you would have to use much deeper pipelines which are detrimental for your performance rather than increasing it.
Maybe off topic: Can anyone explain to me why it is almost impossible to find mp3's on the web by doing a google search but you can find most music on napster?
Is it because on a web page it is considered published and on napster shared?
Well, it surely is not a hoax! The point is that when the leg has to go from A to B it tries to do so in a human manner rather than for instance a straight line (or whatever). But stil, on order not to fall down you have to know when and where to put the leg, and that is a good piece of engineering the honda guys did.
Some time ago I read an article on bipedal robotics that said that the guys at honda used data from movements of real people to make their robots look as if they moved like a human. It is not a inherent smoothness that results from the way this thing is constructed. Humans actually use much less energy for the same movements because they use the natural swing of their legs. But it looks cool anyway.
By the way, I would like to see those new movies but I can see only mpegs on my linux machine. Does anybody know how I can see quicktime movies on linux?
- Why is it the case that it is not possible to find mp3's on web pages (for which good search engines exist) while you can find them on napster or gnutella?
- Why do people talk about freeriding on gnutella and not on napster?
Freeriding is somehow always asociated with gnutella and not with napster. Why is that? For the user point of view there is no difference. So it must be really the question how easy it is to for the user to share and whether he wants or not. Maybe it is just that the threshold to share stuff is just a little higher in gnutella...

the people involved don't sound all that bright
You never hear about the good ones, that's why.

Chandra is a spacecraft so I suppose its quite easy to keep it still.
