Actualy TeX was written as part of the web2c documentation system, and Knuth's literate programming philosophy, so it's initial purpose was program Documentation; LaTeX is an environment for TeX that's a lot more human readable than raw TeX code.
Often I find that using LaTeX is faster than a word processor, because with a WP the rendering has to occure concurently with every little change. In LaTeX it's an edit, compile, then render cycle so I wait until the are big enough to justify the compile.
That's going to happen a lot in cold-fussion research for two reasons; 1 If something nuclear is going on, it is so unreliable that it will fail to work someone sceptical is looking so few nuclear physicists are willing to taint their reputations with it. 2 The fusion reactor is trivial to build and operate so there is no "cost of entry" involved.
I'm not a nuclear physicist, but I think the reaction is more like; 2.0147 + 2.0147 = 4.00260324 + (0.02679676 * C^2). This is actualy a considerable amount of energy.
Even if your whole company migrates, you still have to deal with people who use Microsoft Office. You have to recognize that there are some cultural differences in this world. One of these differences is that Europeans are increasingly suspect of the intentions, ethics, and practices of Americans, the American Government and their corporations. Europeans, their Governments and Corporations are moving away from American/Microsoft software toward open source alternatives, mostly as a philosophical positions.
Philippe Nemery, an IT manager at FN's parent company in Belgium, said he's used Impress for some time now and has come to prefer the way that the application is organized.
My magic eight-ball says "Even if your whole company is a Microsoft shop, you still have to deal with EU people who use KDE on Linux with OpenOffice." and my experience has been that OO opens Microsoft documents a whole lot better than Microsoft Office opens OO documents. If you want to do business in the EU, you better be looking at OO.
What determine "who have no business sending smtp"? virus or trojan ridden computers
That's not an unreasonable start for a definition. If your the webmaster of example.com, and your ads are coming through an smtp server in example.com's domain, your going to be careful not to get your domain blacklisted. Most hosting provider's have some way of alowing you to compose Email on your local machine, and sending through your hosted domain. Even if they don't, a perl or asp script on your websever can do the trick real easy. Anyone with the knowhow that is paying for an internet conection deserves the right to use that internet conection as they see fit. No you don't, you have the rights given in your ISP's Terms of Service. And I'd bet that all of those rights are subject to change without prior notification. If you don't like the service provided by your ISP, simply find one who does. You can even look into getting a raw pipe for yourself, then you can deal with all of an ISP's headaches.
The Bottom line is an Internet cafe that doesn't block out-going port 25 is just an open-relay that requires your physical presence.
I should blacklist all US IP numbers for that. No but maybe if you blacklisted almost all of the ISP's IP addresses it would help. An example is I'm on Comcast, and I can't send any Email to anyone on AOL, unless it goes through the server smtp.comcast.net.
All they had to do is say TDE is blocking outgoing port 25 on their dynamic clients, and working with local law enforcement to put the con artists in prison, or even say dynamic blocks are these, so The Abusive Hosts Blocking List, could fine tune the block to hosts that realy have no business sending smtp to the internet.
Actualy Microsoft made SCO, Microsoft once had a product called xenix, a 16 bit unix offering, which they sold to the Santa Cruz Operation.
Ironicly IBM, the most hated company in tech at the time, gave DOS to Microsoft which made the company and allowed them to become the most hated company in tech. They then sold xenex to SCO which evolved into the most hated company in tech, which in turn sued IBM. Seems kind of like sueing your grandfather.
WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Gulf War I, Gulf War II My son has been in more combat theaters than you've listed, and except he's now in Iraq none that you've listed. I leave it as an exercise for you to look up things like casualties, both killed and wounded, collateral damage and see where the trend is going.
((52 weeks + 1day)/yr) / (4 weeks/Month) = (13 Months +1 day)/year, which makes it hard to make quarterly reports on the 1st of each month, but syncs nicely with the lunar cycles!
Normaly a year can be considered to be 2000 work hours, a nice round number for in-your-head math.
Linux enables the US military to be a more efficient killing force.
What makes anyone anywhere think the purpose of the US Military is to kill? If we wanted to kill, then why have we spent hundreds of billion of dollars on weapons system so accurate that they cause little or no collateral damage or deaths. In the US military, the Solders, Sailors and Airmen who want to kill are commonly found in prison. Like most people around the world you are confusing war with genocide.
1: How much would you want to be paid to work on a nuclear missile guidance system? (In other words - how much can we buy your ethics for? Or do you just not care?)
What's so bad about nuclear missile guidance systems? Has one ever been used in anger? The long answer is NO. Isn't the same technologies that would allow enough accuaracy for a Nuclear Missile warhead to have a yield reduced 75% to achieve nuetralization of an enemies nuclear missile, also alow a safer flight in a 747 in bad weather?
One of the problems of a Democracy is the fact that a majority can bully a minority, the nine hungry canibles voting to eat the tenth problem; that's why we have a Republic. In a Republic there are elected representatives who have limited power; as are there executives, and judicials with limited power. Often neither side is happy beacuse the effect that they have on the country is limited.
The effects they try to achieve usualy revolve around the which side of the social-engineering question they are on; do they want "The most good for the most people" or do they want the "least harm to any person"; or at least the side that will get them the most votes.
The real reason a court rules one way or an other doesn't always have as much to do with the case at hand as it does for the repercussions for society in general; might the law the examines the sex of the marrage licensee's, alow for a law that examines the religon of the liscensee's later?
1. Think of standing on a smooth sphere and looking at the horizon. 2. everything you can see exists, everything you can't doesn't, this is your "universe" and it is "circular", what you can see is inside your universe, what you can't is outside your "universe". 3.walk in one direction, things pop into and out-of existance and therfore your "universe". 4. now imagine what happens as the sphere changes size as you walk, or even the sphere morphing into different shape.
Standing on an egg would give a bugle shaped horizon, or "universe". One of the problems with discribing a "shape" is that there is no difference to us between "far-away" and "long-ago". A galaxy 12 billion light years away, exists 12 billion years ago, Sun does not exists "right now" it exists 4 minutes ago. Now if you can look at your hand at arm's length and believe that your hand doesn't exisist right now but exists 3 nano-seconds ago, your probably psycotic.
I find it psycologicaly satisfing to think of the universe as a sphere, centered on me, with a radius of hubbles constant divided by the speed of light.
The edge I imagine as an event horizon, the point at which objects are receeding from me at the speed of light; anything past that point is beyond causality for me and therefore undefined; ther are things out there, just not for my frame of reference. If the universe seems bugle shaped. then they are seeing a distortioin caused by the event horizon expanding over time.
I know this is not what's reality, because sooner or later everybody will be proven wrong, but all my freshman physics fits neatly into it.
I once got a SPAM from the State of Illinois,when I complained to them about it, they sent me a nice packet telling me about their states anti-spamming law, and how I opted in twice at some website (A commercial spammer site) I never heard of before.
I doubt that most Viagra spams would fall into a sexualy expicit catagory, the sex is implied. Additional anyone sell prescription drugs without a prescription, isn't going to worry about this silly new law, because they were not worried about the old laws.
If you want viagra, just ask your MD, unless it's contra-indicated for you, he'll be glad to get you into the office on a regular basis for script re-fills.

I'd guess that performance would suck using a live-CD; a better idea would be to divy-up your hard-drive into multiple partitions like we did in the "good 'ol days". By keeping all your system critical files on partitions that are mounted read-only, you get most of the security of a live-cd without the performance hit of running off a CD or even the hit of running a journaling FS. The only partitions that need to be Read/Write are/home,/var,/svc and/tmp. So mount those R/W with journaling, and the other six RO without journaling. When you need to update, just remount the read-onlies as R/W and change back when your done. If that isn't enough security, then you need hard-drives that have a keyed switch to enable writes, and of course your network should be air-gapped from the internet, and all of your user strip-searched and constantly monitored
Why even bother with a case? You could build everything into a desk. It might be very interesting to do without the case rather than trying to disguise it.
I'd expect that the insulating properties of a 1/64th inch thich wood verneer glued to aluminum isn't that much different than an epoxy powder-coat on aluminum, and it would certainly conduct more heat than those neat plexiglass view-ports do. As an added benifit, the differences in the sound qualities of the aluminum, glue, wood verneer and finish coat would decrease sound conduction some.
The FAA sub-orbital space flight license is required for U.S. contenders in the X Prize competition. The impression I got was that Americans teams needed FAA license, and probably foreign teams opperating in the US. I'd suppose that a Russian team opperating inside Russia would have their own licenses or permits from appropriate Russian agencies. I'm unsure if the X-prise rules specify where the opperation has to take place.
my amplifier does 10Hz easy, I just twist the volume knob up and down real fast. Seriously, the biggest problem that I see isn't reproducing the sound, it's recording it in the first place, most microphones and pick-ups are magnetic and inductive so they are actualy recording the change in pressure rather than the pressure, the sensitivity of these drop-off as frequency decreases because the wavelengths are so long, there little change acros the device. A capacitative pick-up would help, some kind of laser/doppler pickup would do it also.
I found it amusing the the guys in the article built the sub-woofers in stereo, low frequencies are very non-directional. I'm pretty sure that most elephants have hearing at 10Hz, but I'd guess that their ears are to close together to get any directionality, maybe hump-backed whales would apreciate the system, I know for humans it's over-kill and only good for bragging-rights.
damn spyware, that's the biggest problem, the spyware starts and tries to phone hone before the networking is even initalized; a microsoft techie pointed me to spybot s&d, to clean the crap out and get the boot time back to something reasonable. I suppose that I might learn enough about windows to do it manualy but why bother? I don't use windows except on rare occasions.
