At least there's already a landing zone prepared in Quasi.

If you want someone to read it, thus respecting it, KISS"
I believe that they think that people actually do read it. Notice that this is way down near the end:
Visit our website at http://www.ubswarburg.com
That's an invitation which should be in the first line of the notice. For that matter, the second-to-last paragraph says this message is only for the person named -- although by the time one reads down to that whomever is reading it has absorbed the information, whether it's intended for them or not.
Maybe the purpose of using it in "hostage rescue" is not to take the hostage away, but to get the armed rescuer into position.
Re:Um, no mention of CO/CO2/NOx emissions levels?
on
But Does it Run Linux?

Isn't NOx produced under the high pressure/high temperature conditions of a piston engine? Won't NOx tend to be less in a turbine?
The total amount of CO/CO2 will depend upon how much fuel the engine needs...if the gearing on it requires more fuel at 30 MPH than a piston engine, it will emit more carbon.
But if you can get results from a quantum computer without turning on the power, the off-quantum-computer should be more resistant to radiation than any other type of computer. You do need to give the computer time to not run, but a wind-up clock is rather resistant to radiation.
Well, some of the Pioneer 10 sounds are already on the Internet, as WAV files. Did check Napster to see if they're already in there? (Technical details of the record are here)
That's what I thought. Although the number of discs is not mentioned, if the cost is $100 per disc, that's only 200 discs in a set. $10 per disc is 2,000 discs. A lot to have on the bookshelf, but it's not a boxcar full of them.
Yes, in our present thin ISM the boundary is suspected to be way out there. When the ISM returns to normal (maybe in 50,000 years) it may penetrate to 2 AU or so -- just outside Earth's orbit. Pioneer 10 is far enough out that it might hit the estimated ISM boundary soon...but that doesn't explain the slowdown that has been happening over the years.
Of course, we're still discussing this problem in a vacuum (pun intended, thank you). These researchers should have considered all this, and we're just having a fun time chatting about possibilities and shooting in the dark (OK, I'll go away now).
A book-sized PC does sound about right. A Google search for "book pc" shows several sources. I see that EZ-BookPC has several pretty devices, including some with video outputs.
An off-the-shelf device is the Terapin, a $500 CD audio/video recorder.
Or you could run some more cable to your wiring closet and feed the audio across the house to the computer, along with an IR/RF remote (or repeater) for remote control of the computer and a speaker so the computer can reply to commands...or a network terminal of some sort (WebTV? Webplayer? iOpener?) for chatting with the computer.
There also are wireless audio devices which could send the audio across the house to the computer. X10.Com has some, and I see that CompUSA has one on sale this week.
As the article says, four probes in different directions are showing this behavior so this is probably not due to an unknown planet.
The interstellar medium (interstellar gas & dust) is much less dense than normal around our solar system due to the Scorpius-Centaurus Association superbubble and the Geminga supernova bubble. Perhaps we're seeing a slight increase in the ISM density -- of course these researchers should know all about this, so it's still a puzzle...
If spacefaring aliens wanted to contact us, they could put Pioneer 10 on The Mall outside the National Air & Space Museum, with the gold-coated greeting record in a suitable player.
Actually, the URL of the Yahoo article includes "20010514". Today's date is 2001/05/14. Apparently it's new news at Yahoo.
The only date in the article or within the HTML is "Last Thursday", the same phrasing in the 2000/04/14 WSJ article. Microsoft's information is within this modified security bulletin.
Actually, there are very few landfills. Check how far your garbage has to travel for disposal.
And your garbage collections service agreement probably says "no construction materials" are allowed. There's plenty of granite and other rocks which have to be disposed of -- it just doesn't tend to get buried in a sanitary landfill.
If the law cannot be distributed freely, this might explain why I couldn't find a definition of Minnesota highway markings and sign standards. MN Statute 169.06 merely states that the Department of Transportation commissioner will adopt a uniform manual, and excludes that manual from several regulations -- including public notice publication. I wonder how many other such things are tucked away.

If you need a turbine-powered SUV, shop for an M1 Abrams.

Well, the patent disc prices are low enough that there can't be too many discs in the set.
So I should have my handheld's screen saver be "Don't Panic!" on May 25th...

But that would spoil the fun, wouldn't it?
Sounds like Clippy, the Office Assistant, might have a new job.
I noticed, but I finished the thought.

Here's a state directory of the district. Principal Mayer was mentioned in the article, as was Superintendent Fitzsimons.
Here's the WWP Web Site which is running IIS on Windows 2000. What do you suppose the administrative computers are using?

No marshmallows. Just put another piece of poison oak on the fire.
Apparently you can tell which politicians have tech-savvy aides by how many aides have registered the copyright to the bills in their own names.
