Women here can be naked, too, if you do stuff like listen to what they say. Or at least pretend to...
You should start paying attention when they get
those important questions... like "Who are you?"
and "What do you want?" and the ever popular "How
did you get in here?"
Just for kicks, I worked out how big 2^64 bytes
of memory in conventional 256MB DIMMS. It comes out
to be a mass about as large as the asteroid
Apollo, at 3 x 10^11 kg.
2^128 bytes in said 256MB DIMMS would have the
mass of one million earths.
Gravity is not the only factor in determining
atmospheric pressure. Look at Titan: the surface
gravity is 0.13 that of earth, but the atmosphere
is 60% more dense. Just as important is the
temperature, composition and replensihment rate.
Spam will not stop until email administrators
can have spammers killed with impunity. However,
this may cause other problems. Maybe we could just
get spammers classified as terrorists.
Well, you have to look at it this way - matter-anti-matter annihilation is one of the most, if not the most energetic reactions we know of. But,
at the level of one atom vs. one anti attom there just isn't going to be that much energy. However, scale that up to 1 kg of matter vs. 1 kg of antimatter and the resulting reaction will reconfigure the planet.
But, how can you be sure your tin wasn't pre-tained? Do you mine the tin yourself? The Reynolds people have great influence over those who provide tin. And, if you're thinking of switching to aluminum, forget it. The Alcoa people are iluminati as well.
If you do it right, I could go unnoticed for a long
time. Just put your stuff in a metal box, and paint it
aviation orange. Then put a couple of placards on it that
say things like "Property of the FAA", "Tampering with
this device is a federal offense", etc. Put a couple
of fake serial numbers on it as well. That should quell
the curiosity of lower-level staff for a while.
However, when someone finally sees through the disguise it
won't just be hauled away
it will probably be "disarmed" by the bomb squad.
This
is just such a bad idea.
I'm not even going to mention that you'd have to find a space
beyond the checkpoints, and you can't get there without a
ticket.
It's not impossible, but given the river
theme of other codenames,
The Merced River in northern CA seems a better
candidate than a dying trout pond like Lake Merced.
Doubtful that Yamhill refers to the town. Every other Intel codename in the last several years has referred to a NW US river (Mendocino, Klamath, Merced, Willamette, Tualatin, Coppermine, etc...). It seems much more probable that Yamhill refers to the Yamhill River.
You're not alone in being able to hear that. I've always been able to "hear" or feel a live CRT. The best explaination I've been able to find is the sound comes from the horizontal sync, ie. something is flexing each time the electron gun sweeps back across the screen. In an NTSC TV that happens at about 15kHz. That's high enough that it's more of a pressure than a sound, it's also high enough that a good portion of the population can't hear it.
It seems like a reasonable explanation, and as further evidence, I can't hear the CRT in my monitor. Since it's running at 1600x1200@100Hz which puts the HSync at something close to 120kHz, well out of the range of human hearing.
You are wrong about KDE's calculator not supporting cut and paste. If you right click on the calc's "display", the value is copied to the clip board. If you middle-click on the display, whatever is on the clipboard is pasted in.
I'm guessing a critical detail got lost in the translation to journalist-english. That is, that they are not looking for a simple distance estimate, but a refined estimate of the moon's orbital parameters (or Keplerian elements or ephemeris datum, whatever term you prefer). From that, given a time you can solve for the distance.
Why does everyone have to see the evil in whatever MS does??
So, we're supposed to ignore the evil in everything Microsoft does? At least you admit that everything they do has evil in it, that's an important first step.
btw: To complain that the passwords had to be plaintext because PPPd and FreeSWAN required it is complete nonsense for a Firewall! Sources are available, so why not add a patch to have the passwords encrypted if this is supposed to become a Firewall?
In all fairness, this is referring to passwords that have to be sent to remote systems, so the cleartext has to be easily computable. Even if you encrypt the passwords, you still have to store an encryption key somewhere, in the end that's really just obscurity, not security. Very few "professional" firewalls even take that step, opting just to store remote passwords weakly masked (ie. Cisco's type 7 password hash, takes about 3 lines of code to recover the cleartext).
Iowa used to use your SSN as the DL number. You could "opt-out" when you got a license, and they would generate an ID. But, that was often quite a hassle as the generated ID had letters in it and many merchants had check clearing systems that flagged an Iowa DL with letters as invalid.
Of course, Iowa was also the only place I ever enountered Y2k problems. In 1997 I had a credit card that expired in 2000. Almost every place I tried to use it claimed it was expired.
At first, BeOS ran only on a platform called the BeBox. The BeBox was somewhat similar to a PowerMac, being a dual-processor PowerPC machine. The BeBox had these cool LED CPU load bar graphs on the front, and a port on the back called the GeekPort (a huge connector with all sorts of digital and analog I/O lines and other cool stuff).

If the SSSCA passes there won't be any linux. Not in the US anyway.
Okay, I give up. What tune is that supposed to be to? The closest I could comp up with is 'Kodachrome', but that's a shakey fit at best.

Someone once tried to auction off the break-away Canadian republic of Quebecistan.

Pricewatch says the best price on 128MB CF cards is $38, while the best price for 128MB Smartmedia cards is $40.
It gets really interesting when you compare at 256 or 512MB sizes. Oh, wait... Smartmedia can't go that high.

Where did you get that? The official documentation defines GPS as "Global Positioning System".
LCD display
CRT tube
ATM machne
PIN number
GPS system
SSN number
It's fun when acronyms become words.
