"You might try reading the article linked in the parent posting for a case where the drive had both bad electronics *and* the head crashed yet they still recovered 80% of the data."
80%? People get paid for this? Guessing 1 or 0 for every bit will successfully recover 50% of the data, assuming the ones and zeros are equally represented.
Once you've got it 50% recovered it's a simple matter to flip the bits in the remaining 50%. 100% recovery.
"I think most people speed up to get under a yellow light because they don't feel as if they have sufficient stopping distance to stop safely (e.g. without being rear-ended)."
Then they're driving too fast for the conditions.
"But I'm being tailgated! If I try to stop I'll be rear-ended!"
Then you're driving too fast for the conditions. (Yes, "the conditions" include the fact that you're being tailgated.) When you're being tailgated you have to account for your reaction time and stopping distance as well as the person tailgating you. That means you must leave more of a buffer between you and the vehicle you're following. It also means you need to slow down so that there's time for both you and the tailgater to react and stop safely in an emergency (or for a changing light.)
Note that sometimes a ticket (speeding or red light)is preferable to being run off the road, or run off the road and then shot. I won't argue that.
From what I hear, redirecting the windshield wiper spray in a beautiful arc up and over your 1979 Datsun 210 wagon deters tailgaters. So does tapping the brakes (read: unexpectedly and a bit harder than just tapping) when you're driving a pickup with a big bumper and trailer hitch.

I'll often try to send an abuse report on a recently (within 5 minutes) received spam and have it rejected by charter's outgoing filter.
"Alert

The mail server responded: Message identified as SPAM -

Their filters are too stupid to recognize spam being reported, even when the only recipient is abuse@somedomain.
To take an example, I saw an expensive titanium camp stove (as opposed to aluminium). The stupidity of that, besides being heavier, is that titanium sucks as a heat conductor
Why would you want it to be a good heat conductor? You're not trying to heat the cookware via conduction.
I believe AIM uses.wav files. You can turn them down yourself.
Open the.wav files in sound recorder, select effects > decrease volume. Save when you're done.
Scenario 2: The police need a way to identify potential criminals/terrorists. The closest thing they have to monitor traffic is the phone connection history from the phone company. This history is a huge database of call origination end termination identifiers. They analyze this data to identify folks making calls to known or suspected criminals/terrorists. When they thing they have identified a suspicious call they get a warrant and go back to the phone company to identify the caller so they can then apply for wiretaps.
No. If the police don't already know who the suspected criminals/terrorists are then they're simply on a fishing expedition. If they do already know who the suspected criminals/terrorists are then they should get a judge to approve a search warrant for the phone records related to that person. The phone company turns over those specific records. If there's anything in those records which needs further investigation they make their case to a judge for additional search warrants.
Delivery is not guaranteed, but simply dropping mail on the floor without notifying the sender has never been acceptable.
RFC 753 March 1979 INTERNET MESSAGE PROTOCOL Jonathan B. Postel
"It should be stressed here that message delivery should be reliable. In the event that delivery is impossible, the message should be returned to the sender along with information regarding the reason for not delivering it."
Spam has complicated things.
Those who accept all mail and then decide whether or not to deliver it are in a catch-22. If they drop the mail on the floor then legitimate senders (read: non-spam/virus) won't get a delivery failure notice. If they accept the mail for delivery, decide not to deliver, and then send a failure notice they will themselves become a huge source of spam since almost all spam contains forged sender information.
If you're not accepting or rejecting email during SMTP then you're in trouble.
In the scenario you described, the heat (energy) from the cooled object is latent heat in the water vapor. The air temperature in your room is not as high as it would be if you weren't drying the clothes.
At this point I haven't a clue why. I heat my home with an open flame. When my heat is on and I hand wash clothes, I dry them over that flame. My gas bill does not go up when I do so. Is there something here you would dispute?
I don't get it. Are you arguing that evaporative cooling does not occur in the situation you describe?

On April 13, 2003, the decomposed body of a late term male fetus, his umbilical cord still attached, was found on the San Francisco Bay shore near Richmond, north of Berkeley. The next day the body of a recently-pregnant woman washed to shore one mile away from where the baby's body was found. The woman's cause of death was impossible to discern; due to decomposition, the body was decapitated, armless, and legless. DNA tests verified they were the bodies of Laci Peterson and her son, Conner.
This could be really big for space travel if it overcomes the main shortfall of common glass windows: sagging and ultimately flowing right out of the window frames over time. This is a huge barrier to the long-term space travel needed to get to other solar systems. Just imagine how fast normal glass would deform if they spun the space ship to maintain 1G! Does anyone know if this new glass is more flow-resistant?
It's also worth noting that this stuff doesn't do so well under normal temperature and pressure. It seems like it would be great for space travel since there's almost none of either out there.

I shall now dispose of my air condtitioner and cool the room by putting a pot up to boil.
Putting a pot up to boil will, in fact, keep the room cooler than if you do not. Assuming, of course, that the burner is operating either way.
Where does the heat from the cooled object go?
In the scenario you described, the heat (energy) from the cooled object is latent heat in the water vapor. The air temperature in your room is not as high as it would be if you weren't drying the clothes.
At this point I haven't a clue why. I heat my home with an open flame. When my heat is on and I hand wash clothes, I dry them over that flame. My gas bill does not go up when I do so. Is there something here you would dispute?

Sure. They burn a bit of cash everytime someone watches a video, but they'll make up for it in volume.
