The RAT is the Ram Air Turbine, a propeller driven hydraulic pump tucked under the belly of the 767. The RAT can supply just enough hydraulic pressure to move the control surfaces and enable a dead-stick landing. The loss of both engines caused the RAT to automatically drop into the airstream and begin supplying hydraulic pressure.
The Gimli Glider used this to survive the loss of both engines.
Very true about Masayoshi Son who I met at an International Compauter Association meeting years ago.
Another was my good friend Roger Boisvert who started the first public ISP in Japan. A caustic Canadian with limited Japanese skills he was still able to get stuff done.
Murdered in LA by some punk when he asked for directions.
I agree, on the whole it isn't painfully Shatner bad.
What is funny isn't Nimoy's singing but what the jerking teenagers are doing. If you removed them and just had Leonard sitting in various poses on that landscape you'd have something like a Raffi video. Very watchable for the kiddies for whom this was most likely intended. (Actually, where *did* this come from?)
We have provided escrow services as a matter of course for the software companies my firm represents. However, changes in the nature of software development and use as pointed out by others make escrow almost useless.
Another situaton that has come up is the case of Application Service Providers. Say you sign up for an ASP service that handles your HR and payroll. What is your recourse if the ASP goes bankrupt? SHould each of the ASP clients get access to the source code to rebuild the environment on their own or collectively hire someone else to do it?
You Wusses. I *hand-built* my first computer!!

{Sigh} All these posts with pre-built boxes like the TRS-80 and the Commodore PET.
All I had was a kit with silkscreened motherboard and a bunch of parts including a 6502 and 48K of RAM. Added the 80-column CP/M card later to max it to 64K. Tape cassette drive for storage (later replaced by dual single-sided floppy drives).
Given to one of my siblings who subsequently sold it in a garage sale whilst I was living in Japan.
A lot of modern Japanese publications are written left-to-right (Computer manuals) but the year-month-day progression is traditional and makes a hell of a lot more sense. Being Canadian we suffer the confusion of governmental dates being in British order and business dates being in U.S. order. I leave our computers in U.S. order at installation as it results in MUCH fewer problems.
11:55. I was poking my head out every 20 minutes or so and seeing nothing. Started as a smooth glow before coalescing into curtains and the red band. Not as sharp as I had hoped but cool nonetheless.
I live on the West side and thus had to look past the lights of downtown and a bloody bright street light.
However it cleared up by evening. I was working late keeping an eye on the Real-Time Aurora Map which was looking pretty quiet when all of a sudden almost the entire northern hemisphere is coverd in a big red circle.
Went outside and sure enough, the Northern sky is aglow in blue and red.

Yup, that's about right.
I am forced to install Real Player (Free version) on our workstations since some of the resources our lawyers access requires it.
I do *NOT* like this situation. Real has caused us more headaches than any other app we use.
What, besides the "options" being opt-in, would make me *want* to install RealPlayer for our users?
I remember seeing a picture in the late 70's somewhere of tourists visiting one of the Viking sites to view a perspex-enclosed lander.
This was supposed to be by the end of the century.
So, whatever happened to the great vapour game machine?

I have mourned its loss ever since.
Well, partially wrong.

Despite the common mispronunciation that would result in this spelling, it is in fact "niche".
Thank you.
I will now have that music playing through my head for the rest of the day.
Don't suppose you kiddies out there know what I'm talking about.
Another Nathalie, no grits.
For the past 5 years I've been using Imagecast IC3 which was created by Microhouse and is now owned by Pheonix Technologies.
It's fast, does disk-to-disk or multicast on a network and what set it apart for me, generates Win2K SIDS dynamically after imaging.

Somehow the term "Happy Meal" just took on a whole new sinister meaning...
Here you go.
Erm, that's a brother and sister surviving in a post-firebombed city
Right, except they die of starvation.
OK, You asked for it.
What do you call 20-ton meteorite hitting Buffalo, NY?
An improvement.
Thanks, I'll be here all week.

Whole northern sky East to West. Red band to the East, blue-white curtains to the West.
11:55. I was poking my head out every 20 minutes or so and seeing nothing. Started as a smooth glow before coalescing into curtains and the red band. Not as sharp as I had hoped but cool nonetheless.

Here. When your area is covered in red go out and look.
It was cloudy and raining when I posted the last time.
However it cleared up by evening. I was working late keeping an eye on the Real-Time Aurora Map which was looking pretty quiet when all of a sudden almost the entire northern hemisphere is coverd in a big red circle.

Very cool.

You are now informed.
We ARE talking about a VERY anti-communist columnist here.
