You need to protect against a 14 psi/ 1 bar pressure differential. Car tires and bicycle tires do that easily. The primary constituent of moon rocks is silicon, it's not to hard to imagine them manufacturing silicone from that with a little help from carbon and hydrogen.
Must have been an MD-80/MD-88. I sat in the back between the engines on my trip back from LA last year. The flight attendant was offering earplugs. I am so glad I took them; That harmonic between the engines on takeoff would deafen Hellen Keller. The airline needs to apologize and refund their money. Oh, yes. To anyone who is bitching about profiling and how most hijackers or bombers are not dressed in Muslim garb, you are only suggesting that we need MORE security, not less. It needs to be revamped so $7.50/hr rent-a-cops are not in charge of security.
The Native Americans have almost enough money from their casinos to launch a mission! I think it's pretty funny that there are whites that gamble away everything they have at those casinos up to and including their mortgages... "Indian steal white man's land"
Les Nessman: "It's a helicopter, and it's coming this way. It's flying something behind it, I can't quite make it out, it's a large banner and it says, uh - Happy... Thaaaaanksss... giving!... From... W... K... R... P!! No parachutes yet. Can't be skydivers... I can't tell just yet what they are, but - Oh my God, Johnny, they're turkeys!! Johnny, can you get this? Oh, they're plunging to the earth right in front of our eyes! One just went through the windshield of a parked car! Oh, the humanity! The turkeys are hitting the ground like sacks of wet cement! Not since the Hindenberg tragedy has there been anything like this!"
It's the Gimp with the menu layout of Photoshop. It also has the user interface in one window. That's the unique but strange way that standard Gimp works, floating toolbars as separate programs. Give Gimpshop a try.
Or at least include a nice addition to the desktop, a warm and fuzzy web page that describes the options to install support for.mp3's and DVD's. "I can't play mp3's and DVD's. Why?", which gives a short blurb that because Ubuntu is a free operating system it doesn't come with support for proprietary codecs preinstalled. Include a small blurb that WinXP can't play DVD's out of the box. Then a link to easyubuntu or automatix, or even the CLI method for advanced users. There could even be a disclaimer with big, jolly, candy-like button that says "I agree". If there's anything with which a Windows or Mac user is familiar, it's that.
"I evaluated it strictly from the point of view of an average user, someone who wouldn't want to enter text commands, hunt the Web for drivers and enabling software, or learn a whole new user interface."
Fair enough, Every Windows and to some extent Mac user still has to do this, and a polite but firm 'WTF?!' Every iteration of Windows, MS Office, and Macintosh requires learning a new interface.
"And Dell's Web site for its Ubuntu computers warns that these machines are for "for advanced users and tech enthusiasts."
It kind of make the article one huge moot point.
"And plenty of people reading this have had lots of frustrations with the two better-known operating systems, especially Windows, whose latest iteration, Vista, is disappointing in many ways."
A good sport.
"Average Ubuntu users are likely to have to wade through online forums, often written in technical language, to get help."
The Dell disclaimer make this an apple and oranges discussion, or Apple and Ubuntu. I've been able to find the answer to my questions within 5 minutes on the forums. Usually with step by step instructions.
One thing that's missing from the clinical smart-bomb precise warfare is the close up blood, nastiness, and chaos. Our troops on the ground are seeing this though. These robots are basically big, stupid, electric kittens. Ok, big-multilegged, stupid, electric spider kittens, so this is almost inevitable. Every world leader needs a mine-clearing robot.
What royally sucked was that they put Firefly up against Farscape and the whole SciFriday thing on SciFi. That was a bad move. I wasn't smart enough at the time to record Firefly, but I did borrow the DVD's eventually. Good stuff, indeed.
They can't tell I'm 6'4" over the phone, but I think that I sound tall. You have to be positive that you can fix the issue the Indian call tech [read: cheap, bilogical answering machine] couldn't even begin to understand. You have to instill the idea that it's you and them against a sea of troubles. It also helps to indicate the problem was the result of the 10,000 monkeys that wrote the app/OS. They should be laughing just as you finish the gpupdate, remove the spyware, or recreate their mail profile. You are the guy [or girl] that finds them the answers or will turbo it up the chain to someone who can.
If there were such thing as a standard, non-proprietary DRM (I know; fat chance). Would it make it more palatable? It would be nice if there were no such thing as DRM of course. Official, non-purchased studies seem to indicate it's not necessary but politicians can be bought unfortunately.
This started out as a question about the idea of MS on another platform, but kind of morphed into the idea of DRM at all.
StarOffice 7.0 anyone? Same as OpenOffice.org last time I checked. They can spend their money, or spend half of it on cheap liquor and expensive whores, and the rest on free downloaed of OOo.
Offtopic, but at the Bellevue square mall [across Lake Wasington from Seattle] they had life-size, highly detailed dinos setup a few years ago. I was marveling at the T-Rex and decided to go across the food court and turn around and look at it.
Don't do this. Never, never do this. I had a bad small monkey reaction; the hair stood up on my neck. Just for a split-second I mused that I might not need to find the restrooms anymore. A very weird Jungian thing...
"If somebody represents their ap as going to do something, the extent of my responsibility assumes that the ap behaves as expected."
Exactly. I think the litmus test for spyware is if a developer/shill has to hide/obscure any functionality, it's spyware. If iDreck doesn't like that appellation, let's create a new classification called 'crypticware'.

Yokko Kanno must do the music. The soundtracks to Ghost in the Shell were awesome!

I read the stub of the article, and saw the "ooo" tag and thought it meant "Ooooh!". Have funny, now. Need. Coffee.

It's like getting a half-shekel back in change. "What the hell am I supposed to do with this?!"
Useless unless you have two of them...

MS just needs to release an .iso of a patched, tarted up Win2000 for free, and they would accomplish much.

We had a prototype of the device you are mentioning back in 2000, it was called the IBM Workpad z50 http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/documen t.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=BMOE-46XPTL. I have one. It runs WinCE 2.11. Using it's built-in compact flash adapter, and the upgrade to 48 Mb, it's possible to run NetBSD on it. http://www.tux.org/~bball/z50/
This could work.
By looking at many candidate stars, they will be able to discern if there is a planet there. There is no chicken before the egg issue here.

Technical issues aside, if you could install this on your OS of choice legally, would you?
