    my only prob with power archiver, you make an encrypted archive, and say someone loads it. the file list of the archive is shown right on the screen when it asks for the password. so even if you dont know the password you know what is in the archive.

    kinda seems like having curtains in your house but never pulling the down; someone may not be able to 'get at' your stuff but they can see everything you have.

    "The UT 2003 demo is a late addition to this review. Epic released it right as we were finishing up, and we decided to include test results, because UT 2003 uses more advanced DX8 graphics features, more polygon detail, and larger textures than most current games."

    100% correct, you go to ATI's "linux" page and they just link you to DRI. They also list all the crap how they support linux, but they don't actually do any of the work!

    Matrox's linux efforts seem to be in a perpetual state of "Beta". Not to mention they never have drivers for their latest cards.

    closed source or not, you cant beat nvidia linux drivers.

    well, there is a way for it to be reprocessed.

    " If the spent fuel is later reprocessed, it is dissolved and separated chemically into uranium, plutonium and high-level waste solutions. About 97% of the spent fuel can be recycled leaving only 3% as high-level waste. The recyclable portion is mostly uranium depleted to less than 1% U-235, with some plutonium, which is most valuable."

    Although, I think those ads that have been running the last week are pretty funny. "Casino Barons", yea, they are the ones controlling everything, right.
