No, because it looks flat and uninteresting. Looking up into the night sky is looking into infinity -- distance is incomprehensible and therefore meaningless.
The CRC wzs veru useful indeed, but I think I'd rather try and do without that than without my Merck Index. Never would have made it through college witout. Most. Useful. Chemist's. Book. Ever.
I should have put the "typing this on my G4 whilst changing my iPod playlist" disclaimer. I'm an Apple fanboy, have been since 1987 or so (too young to remember 1984...) - but I still say a combination lock is cutsey fluff. It *is* a damned logical and intuitive way to enter your code, but it would be just as functional and easy to use without the little dial imagery, just spin the wheel and watch the number fields.
The nano's already going there - it has a lock feature; to unlock it you spin the click wheel and the screen shows a little combination lock. Absolute fluff, so totally Apple...I seriously wouldn't be surprised if the iPhone did just what you say.
While the methane jokes are just HI-larious, on a more serious/sci-nerd note:
Methane is a lot less likely to be the "solvent" for life as water is. Water has a lot of very unusual properties which are important factors in the biochemical reactions of life; the most important of these is its strong polar nature. The polarity of water is a, if not the (biochemists feel free to correct me, i'm synthetic org.), major factor in protein folding; the ability of water to dissolve ionic compounds is also vitally important, e.g. nerve function. Bottom line, a nonpolar organic solvent is a *lot* less likely, if not impossible, to support life.
No, you can read the drive to you heart's content - you just can't get into the disk image. Still perfectly secure for all intents and purposes, and a *hell* of a lot easier to recover if something goes wrong.
OS X stores your encryped home directory as a sparseimage (dynamically resizable disk image) with your account password as the key. if you have hdd problems, you just need to get the image onto a functional OS X computer; you can decrypt and mount it with Disk Utility. If you can't read the image of the disk, you're SOL anyway. Speaking from experience.
You said it yourself - the North Sea doesn't have 140+ mph sustained winds for 8-12 hours. The sheer power of the waves in weather like that means the surge doesn't have to be higher than the dike/levee to break through; instead, the ocean just takes the brute-force approach and pounds it to pieces.
Old folks' homes. Seriously. I work at one part-time bringing my m4d c00k1ng sk1lls into their twilight years; our parent corp, is expanding aggressively and the owners are absolutely rolling in the $$. Talked it over with my financial advisor (I have a small bit squirreled away with ML), he agrees with the aging boomers, it's going to be ludicrously profitable over the next 20-30 years.
I think I'd rather try other flavors of linux before taking BSD for a spin,
Honestly...why on earth would you say that unless you're a total harcore linux zealot? That's like saying "I drive a white Camaro with fabric interior, and I'd rather test-drive a green one with leather seats rather than try that WRX STi instead" - different distros are pretty much just varied top-ends on the same chassis, while BSD is a totally different OS with a different way of doing things. Expand your horizons, man.
At the login window, enter ">console" for the user, no password. Then use your regular l/p to get a bare Darwin shell. On my dual G4, top shows 99.8% idle when I'm on the console.

without some form of DRM, I very much doubt that you'll ever see big-label music on there. Just not gonna happen - I don't think it was Apple's choice to DRM iTMS stuff; I'd bet a week's pay it was a condition imposed by the cartel.
Ugh...a pain-in-my-ass clearinghouse for other sites. Moot point anyway - the cheap ink isn't Canon but rather 3rd party. The black works fine, but I found that even high-grade aftermarket color inks (Staples house-brand) produces off-color photos. The shade probably isn't quite an exact match, and the results definitely show. Pay your dime and take your chances...

It's my only real grammar peeve...that needs to read Now that one of their decisions will affect soccer moms...
effect - 1. Something brought about by a cause or agent; a result.
affect - 1. To have an influence on or effect a change in.
