If someone would just figure out a way to use all that waste, it'd be a goldmine! take a look at thermal depolymerisation process, TDP! Except for elemntal stuff like heavy metals, radioactive materials, it pretty much detoxifies everything.
Aluminum is the metal of choise for most parts of a spacecraft. Aluminum isn't a particulary magnetic metal, so any effect a magnet would have on most space junk would be random pushes due to eddy current reactions. A better idea might be to develope a low vapor-pressure adhesive and apply it to kevlar re-inforced mylar ribbons and trail the ribbons behind a satelite; orbiting fly-paper if you will. That would suck up a lot of the little stuff that is difficult to track; big stuff would be a more suitable job for a garbage-bot satelite.
When I was in the army and transferred to Germany, I was initialy billeted at the 21st replacement compamy which was stalog 21, complete with swatikas over the door ways and original barbed wire still up after 35 years. After that I when to Graffenwhor, a quaint little town that listened to continuous artillery that started in 1812 except for 6 hrs on christmass day, 6 hrs. on new years day and for 4 whole days at the end of WWII. The barracks I stayed in also had swastikas over the doors and was previously used to house SS officers in training. The walls were 2 feet thick and the ceilings had a foot of dirt between floors. All of this history will disapear when the Germans get their hands on it. About the only places you can see evidece that WW II happened within Germany are areas under American control.
I'm sure what Michael Moore, the individual wants and Micheal Moore the director who has to please the producers in order to fund future work wants are two seperate things. I'd love to live in a communistic fantasy world too, but reality keeps getting in the way.
English is a language where a word's pronunciation might change with the context it is used. I believe C only has 20 key-words, an english vocabulary is about 20 times that.
WTF! in Linux it works as I suspect it does in BSD/OSX as well as every other non-Microsoft operating system. Half the time I save something in the shared folder, I can't even open it when logged in as admin; That's why they ship with everybody as admin, run-as is completely broken!
Persoanly, since I've failed to find a formal syntax specification for english, this gves me a lot of problems with that grammer thing; after all If I want to write COBOL, I know where to find the specification and write gramaticaly correct COBOL. Add in a sticky keyboard and a touch of dislexia and this is what you get.
Additionaly not everyone post uses english as a native language, especialy the America version of english.
What Taco is really saying is if what the grammer-nazi's were really complaining about is grammar, then fixing it should satisfy them. Since they still complain, then it follows that they are really complaining for shear joy of complaining.
Telephone calls frequently are transmitted via satelite, so both domestic and foreign traffic can and are carried over the same down-link. This means identifing the origins and destinations are necessary to determine when they are outside the US and this can only be done by examineing content i.e. the phone numbers involved.
all telephone traffic is of limited lifetime, so all telephone conversations are subject to automatic temporal destruction and any evidence contained therein destroyed.
These records are now analysed for forign origin or destination then for key-word content.
once a forign person of interest is identified and monitored is his/her conversations with a domestics person off-limits? I doubt it.
If the domestics person becomes identified, doesn't it follow he now becomes a person of interest and because the records are serachable, the intell people merely have to pick out the ones with the most conversations with other to gather the greatest amont of connections with persons to legalise the greatest amount of connections.
Preserving evidence in anticipation of a search warrent is permissable
So is recording a telephone conversation without anyone listening a search?
Is preserving a means to cross reference the origin and destination a search?
I'm not sure that machine gun ownership is illegal at the federal level, i know you have to get a tax stamp for each machine gun, and geting the liciense to buy the stamp is pretty rigorous and the tax stamp themselves are very expensive. Expensive and difficult aren't the same as illegal.

What is Perl 6?

· Score: 1
use english; dude, almost eveybody understands english. We can write some realy obtuse stuff in Perl, or we can write very clear code in Perl; its the programmer not the language.
You don't have to block the NSA mind control rays, just scramble them. For that I've found the standard european 4-1 pattern of chainmaille to be effective; and no that's not me or my site; if it were I'd have to turn in my Paranoid's Anonymous RFID card now wouldn't I?
I am going to start a chainmaille wallet project if only for grins and giggles.
That is wrong on so many levels. My wife does not go through my wallet nor do I go through her purse. If she sends me to fetch something out of it for her and it isn't right on top, I return the whole purse, no rooting arround to the bottom. That's after being together for 25 years.
I'd think it's the best one ever, a backdoor that leads to a room with no appearent exits, but if the code is able to trigger another vulnerability that leads to priv escallation to admin, TADA you're owned.
Professional spooks don't try and turn somebody all at once, they go with little nudges. At each step the target thinks they can back out, they never let them think they are in too far until they are in way too far, they'd probably think the same way with computers.
Back durring the last M$ antitrust case I wondered what would happen if the company simpley pulled ups stakes and moved off-shore, it's not like they have assets that can't be sold, their main capital is intelectual and can be moved pretty easy.

I'm sure that Microsoft Identity as a national company is mostly emotional, so I'm not sure why any country including the US would completely trust them. At least with open-source there are so many people with different agendas that they seem to cancel each other out; I'm not sure about the monkey-boys over at gnome/Ximian/SuSE/Novell either.
The technologies are here, but they are un-economical unless you sell the CO2 for industrual uses. CO2 is actually pretty useful as a solvent or a ssheild gas inn welding.
Actualy I expect that it will be more difficult keeping the desired strain of algea reletively pure, rather than just getting algea to grow. I've never actualy considered or researched commercial scale algea farming, sounds like after 1 inch of depth there isn't much light left.
Why not just run the exhaust through a series of troughs covered with glass or plastic, and place ultrasonic foggers every so far to get really intimate contact with the water? The disolved CO2 would make the water acidic, the algeal photosynthis would return it to slightly basic so the process would be easy to monitor.
In the Honolulu area its solar water heaters or cold water period. I'm amazed at how hot the southern facing front door on the house gets; I've been playing with the idea of putting thermally operated vents in the top and bottom of the door to use the heat that otherwise gets wasted; I'm in Michigan. I suspect that just opening and closing your house's drapes at the oppertune times could drop heating fuel use by a 5 -10 %.
Actualy you could just pump air to the bottom of the ocean and the CO2 would condense out at those presures and temeratures, the CO2 would just sit on the bottom as a liquid and sink into the muck eventualy reacting with silicates and be sequestered until the material is swallowed up into the earth to be relaeased vulcanicaly many millenium later if ever.
Another way would be to make a hollow torpedeo out of water ice, fill it with liquid CO2. When you depresurised the torpedo, the liquid would just freze and just drop it over the side of the ship; solid CO2 is heavier than water.
Samething might be true for methane, I'm to lazey to google for the answer there. I don't think these methods would be economical, but they are possible.
Algae are an extreme pain in the arse to grow. I've a patented solution to the problem, just dig a hole, line it with pvc sheeting, add water and ornimental fish that you actualy want to see and BAM instant pea soup! Seriously I live in SE Michigan, not exactly prime sunlight area and my garden pond gets plenty of algea, keeping it under control is work. The only time the algea goes away when the food it needs is gone, primarily phosphates. My fish are fat and happy and I typically feed once a week in early spring before the algea blooms and about once a month after that. Mostly I make them graze for algea and you should see how brightly colored they are from all of the carotinoids in the algea. Algea grows everywhere, for the Sahara to Antartica
Most of the time you just sort of know when something is virus-infected and don't mess with it, or do a manual scan with clamwin. We've never had a virus that wasn't in our guest account for many years using common-sense, a hardware router, adaware/M$ anti-spy and clamwin and regualr updates is all it takes for people with a clue. The clueless are hopeless and no amount of technology will compensate.

There's a lot to be said for mounting most partions read-only, only /tmp, /var, /home need to be R-W most of the time.
