Most optical mirrors (normal mirrors) also reflect IR, although ones with IR-absorbing plastic on them would be a problem. Polished copper also reflects IR well.
In case something somehow happens to the main site, a backup site is set up. In case the site is too busy, the view is looking out a window at what looks like a river. I was hoping for a view which included the computer so we could watch the water rising...
If you don't like the fluorescent lights in your house, try different bulbs. The bulbs may be getting old or may have been whatever random type was cheapest at the hardware store. Look at a hardware or lighting store for different kinds of bulbs.
There are phosphors which glow longer, there are ones which produce a different spectrum (combination of colors).
Or, if it's your house, change the light fixture. Start by replacing the "starter" in case a bad one is interfering with the bulb's power. There are also different power circuits available for various bulbs. Or you can change from fluorescent to the various low-energy vapor bulbs. Or put in a track light or X-10 controllers so you can adjust the lighting in different ways to suit the situation...such as giving some chairs spotlights for reading, or turning lights off when watching a movie.
You had to create a rather special example, although a real world worst case would probably involve anthropologist->?>anthropologist replaced by merchant->city resident->city resident->merchant, which is just a little longer.
I think an example of the real-life short circuits is my wife's friend of a friend. My wife is from another country. We quickly found a friend of a friend of hers five miles from our home in this country. It seems unlikely, but the real math is something like this:
In this metropolitan area there seem to be at least 2,000 people from her country.
Most people in her country are in two dozen cities, but let's say 50 cities.
That's about 100 people here from each city in her country.
Scatter those 100 people across that city in whatever distribution you want and there still are several of them within any region of the city.
There is a fairly good chance that the friends of those 100 people know the friends of most people in the city, particularly the friendlier ones. (Hey, isn't a friendly person more likely to marry someone from another country?:-)
Those 2,000 people in my city are an even denser concentration than the 100 in the remote cities, and may be more likely to know each other through national society and shopping groups.
The reverse is also true...there is some unknown number of people from my country in each of the cities in her country, forming more links.
Hypersearching The Web is that SA article. Google is different as it primarily tries to find authorities based on links, while the Clever method in the article is more like finding authorities within communities. The Clever algorithm looks at text around a link to estimate importance and relevance of a link.

It's not a 9/9/99 problem, but any time problem in this discussion is may be... moderated Funny?
Yes, the date is arbitrary. Look at the last link in the story to see what various calendars call today. 1999/9/9 happened a long time ago in some calendars (as did 2000 and 2001).
Of course, the Christian calendar-challenged who worry about 2,000 years being significant should learn that Christ was probably born about four years before year 1, so actually 2,000 years of Christianity began three years ago...although others think He was born 33 years before year 1, and wonder whether His birth is as significant as His deaths.
There's too much ambiguity...unless you simply stop counting years when you run out of rope for your Mayan calendar.
I suspected there was some sort of corporate relationship between the systems, I just didn't look for it. Particularly as the Star's web page called the classifieds by yet another name. But it was also possible that the same obit was sent by the family to several places.
Indeed. I've clicked on the most likely link without finding the additional answers, and now I'm here in this discussion finding nothing here. Well, I've only got two more links to click on to try to find those answers...maybe they're in his diary rather than his Everything entry...
The primary keys can be copied to backup locations with several methods. The first step is the one which Coca-Cola is known for: Break the secret into pieces and store the pieces separately.
If each backup of the key is in eight pieces and in eight different places, there is a backup but stealing the backup is much more difficult. Proper procedures would involve a variety of protections, such as banks with no corporate relationships, vaults of different types, and differing attack types required. For example, a key piece inside a clear jar embedded in plastic hanging from the ceiling of the lobby of Microsoft headquarters would require a different theft method than the key pieces in safety deposit boxes, or the key piece tattooed on a director.
A key can be backed up in ways which make it difficult to reassemble, but the key can still be secure while it is backed up. Particularly if the backups were also encrypted so a piece is even less useful...and the key for the backups does not need as much security as the backups themselves so one does not have to repeat this process ad infinitum.
The web site of the Tucson Daily Star has the same info for the Stevens funeral notice. I don't know the relationship with the other obit which has the same content.
Compaq used to tinker with hardware such that you couldn't use standard IDE drives. They probably had a reason, such as increased performance. They lost a lot of potential customers. They managed to get enough customers to still be around...
I think #2 lists almost everything mentioned thus far and includes the simple things up to the big boys with lots of modules. It needs more work, as AppGen gets no description while others get more reasonable detail.
The first PING was actually in December of 1983. The DARPA IP network existed before PING was invented. Now PING is a routine network tool, but the IP net was created without it.
I wonder if the proper IPCHAINS and nameserver alterations could meet the requirements in the law? I'd have to wade through that section of the law... and of course I'd configure it so it would block things the blockers would prefer I see. But blocking software it would be.
Actually, I suppose if I were in Australia I might have to install the cheapest approved filter program. I'd install it by sticking its floppy in a broken floppy drive, taping the law around it, and scrawl "IMPORTANT LEGAL NOTICE: DO NOT REMOVE FLOPPY" on it. Then put it back on the shelf. Or maybe on a mobile.
I suppose I could just skip the extra hardware and install the filter floppy on a mobile. A web camera would allow checking that the filter was still properly installed.

You only need 30 minute's worth of gold bars.
I still think the Slashboxes section of Preferences needs the Newest Boxes in a separate section for easier decision making.

Of course we remember the recent announcement of Linux SAP R/3.
So when did you sign the NSF agreement cancelling the previous restriction? Are you still restricted? :-)
