For greater security, you could have many widely-separated monuments, each with 50 Kg plutonium -- and tampering will destroy the monument. Along with a small section of the countryside.
(yes, 50 Kg is more than enough..but it will remain functional longer as the stuff decays) (yes, I'm being silly -- a boobytrap bomb would become nonfunctional in much too short a time to provide long-term "safety")
An atomic blast in the atmosphere also has a distinctive double flash. The first flash is from the X-ray emission from the blash causing the air to fluoresce. The second flash is an incandescent glow from the heat.
The satellites which are equipped with bhangmeters [sic] do detect these blasts. You might remember the Israeli test which was detected in 1979.
This project is an interesting showcase of what.NET is capable of. I'm sure there are developers who are noticing these developments and what it means for their future projects.
I've heard a few times about this corporate domination subject... here's a summary of some of the issues. Oh, yeah, that's from 1881; there have been some more recent events.
If you're going to mention China and capitalism, perhaps you should have remembered how long Chinese merchants have been active. You may have heard of someone named Marco Polo, who went to China with his merchant father. He was hardly the first nor the only user of the trade routes. And, of course, they were doing business within the existing marketplaces of China. The Emperors weren't merely collecting birds from farmers for taxes, there have been wealthy merchants around for a while.
Oh, there it is. Why didn't I think to look for the license behind a link labeled "free of charge" on the FreeBSD home page? Silly me, to not realize that a free-as-in-beer label would have free-as-in-speech info instead.
I've seen that one company makes a carrying case for a PDA and a cell phone
A link would be nice for those of us who are shopping for something a little different than your needs. I happen to be looking for a way to keep my cell phone and pocket computer together, both for convenience and because the pocket computer will be using the cell phone.
You can do that as long as you don't display your resulting work in public (including distributing prints) -- at least not without a clear explanation that this is not the original artist's work. Not that this is a license issue, more of avoiding defamation and copyright problems.
"If the BSD project wanted to have the code fall under the more liberal BSD license..."
Incidentally, none of the major BSD web sites have the BSD license visible -- or it's tucked away in a place which is not obvious. This makes it harder for someone who's considering using BSD to compare licensing terms with others.
The LWN story starts out with the necessary explanation: "IPFilter is the firewalling system used in FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD". Kind of important, isn't it?
It probably didn't help that the moisture level is probably higher in a hospital than in an office, thus the fungus had more water than in most an office. Particularly in an ICU, the humidity level would be kept high enough to reduce breathing irritation. Some ICU patients would be on various respiratory devices which provide humid air. And those smooth floors are cleaned regularly with mops.
It wasn't only carbon that I was concerned about. There's also not much calcium, which is part of the blast furnace formula.
The simplest solution is probably the same one used on Earth: use biological processes to concentrate them. Get some plants growing in a mix which includes lunar material and they'll remove trace amounts of minerals from it, including carbon and calcium. It will take a lot of growing to get significant amounts of minerals extracted. Good thing that aluminum and titanium can be used in many low-gravity applications. Making that first canyon-spanning six-lane moon-buggy freeway bridge may take a while.
Tritium we don't have plenty of -- we might mine the Moon to bring that back to Earth.
Other stuff we'd mine from the Moon because for use in space because it's much easier to get things to space from the Moon than from Earth. There's plenty of aluminum and titanium, both of which we already use in space. And there are a lot of oxides.
Clementine data shows where there are iron deposits, of up to 20% iron oxide. That's a low-grade taconite, although the processing techniques used on Earth would probably have to be modified for lunar gravity. Northern Minnesota has been mining taconite for a while. I don't know how hard it will be to find all the ingredients for steel on the Moon.
New Lunar Prospector studies suggest that the Clementine data is correct in location, but might be overestimating the abundance. Well, if we want to mine we'll be doing more prospecting -- at least we have LP maps and Clementine maps.

It's called a "kilt". England already learned to avoid offending we Scots.

This brings new meanings to the term "Microsoft Tax".

So now China is aiming at the Moon, Canada is aiming at Mars, and the USA is aiming at the ISS in near-Earth orbit.
I thought he meant "Mozilla XP", or "Netscape TNG".

"Derivitive" is a nonexistent word. I hereby define it to mean "something which is not licensed under the GPL".
If this license referred to "derivative works" it would mean something else, but fortunately it does not.

The primary symptom of Microsoft-induced psychosis is the belief that "computers are unstable and must crash often".

You mean the right of the employees to associate in what the court has now told them are illegal actions? I suppose that's what RICO is for...

I anticipate a growing market for nice hot vacuum tube computers...
At the moment, the Slashdot minds are focused on a puzzle: Which link points at a page which states what the puzzle is.
