Element 0 is also known as a tetraneutron (ie. 4 neutrons in a stable arrangement). It's made my firing a Beryllium-14 atom into a carbon target, producing Beryllium-10 and tetraneutron debris. If it's existance is confirmed, it would be the densest element known - similar to neutron star material.
They are actually in 12 hour orbits roughly between 12,000 to 13,000 s. mi. You're right in that they are well out of the protection of earth's magnetic field, but they are a long way from geosynchronous orbits.

It's Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri. It's part of the Civilization family of games. It's available for Windows and Linux, though the Linux port was done by the now bankrupt Loki Games which means locating a copy may prove difficult.
Prequels to Ringworld already exist, and there are quite a few of them. Ringworld is the tail end of a huge series of books called "Tales of Known Space", there are over a dozen titles that come before it, including Protector, Neutron Star and the entire Man-Kzin Wars series.
An X server shouldn't be slowed down at all by this een if there were significant overhead. An X server needs root to memory-map the video card's framebuffer and registers, and possiby to set up the communications sockets. Both of those happen once as the X server starts.
Huh. And I always thought 'wiki' was the robot sidekick on that 'Buck Rogers in the 25th Century' show from the early 80's.

Wouldn't a better solution be wider adoption of TLS in place of SSL, as TLS can start encryption after virtual host negotiation, and can run of port 80 as well?
Telescope, Schmeloscope! In my day if you wanted to see an asteriod you had look up and squint really hard. I once squinted so hard I could see the Red Spot on Jupiter and individual stars in Andromeda. But then my eyes popped.
Is there any way to run OS X on an emulator under Linux? I've thought about porting some of my software to OS X, but I'm not ready to give up precious desk space to yet another box just yet. But being able to run OS X in an VMware-esque environment would be perfect. Any solutions out there for doing that yet?

So, what you're saying is that the Coleco Adam was way ahead of its time.
Not on the market? What about this. Don't know if it's actually GameCube compatible (they say it is), but it is a 3" DVD-R blank.
I don't see how it could. All these things must come from experience.

That will sound like a good idea until the #10 cross town bus fires up it's solid rocket boosters and vaporizes 4 city blocks.

You mean you're not into the authoritarian-psycho-nutcase type? I'm shocked.
Unless, of course, you're using ReiserFS with tail packing turned on.
That's not possinble. The pedantically correct term is 'Lego Brick', therefore the only acceptable plural is 'Lego Bricks'.

Slashdot's Ad server has a very well honed sense of irony, it seems.
Quite full of hotdogs, I'd guess.
Just wait until they get the cloaked fusion reactors up, and the battery of Big Berthas running. Then it's time to duck and cover.
I'm surpised he wasn't replaced with an inanimate carbon rod.
Yeah, it is definitely a growth industry. It's been expanding quickly.

You kids and your "telescopes" have it easy.
I think the best solution is to get a used iBook or PowerBook off of eBay. The apps I want to port are GUI apps, so just running Darwin isn't enough.
