Another reason for using distilled water is to prevent stuff from growing in it. Nasty smelling black bacteria may clog your pipes after a few months with tap water. I work with fire systems and can tell you the stench of trapped water in pipes after years. This is why distilled water is specified for welding cooling systems. The distilled water keeps the pipes flowing without fungus buildup.
I haven't been playing games since I switched to Linux several years ago. But looking at the screenshots of these games, that may change. It might be hard to resist that kind of virtual world.
Use the dvdnav plugin. To install the works with gentoo, simply type "emerge dvdnav"...wait while it installs, run xine, and click on the dvdnav button... that's about it!
I'd be more interested what a person with a cell phone and a directional antenna in a remote area would do to this "speed sensing" algorithm. Remote areas make people do funny things.
"Yes your honor, we tracked him traveling 450mph down the interstate.
"Its impossible he was sitting on his living room couch at the time. We have the data right here."
Don't need physics to understand. Look at the cell antenna's ratings if you were to buy one. Beam pattern and power are what you choose from. They measure them in kilowatts and directional gain.
Your microwave puts out a kilowatt. If its a good one.
Its cold this winter. Are you sure a few kilowatts in your back yard are that bad?
If only they wouldn't think I was a terrorist with my yagi antenna pointed out the window scanning traffic below and surfing other people's sessions...
I have always used my laptop on a plane. Airport security sometimes swabs it with a chemical like its a block of crack or something. But no one has a problem with it like I was talking into an annoying cellphone.
The Gentoo Linux distribution currently weighs in at 12GB of 6300 tarballs. Expand that out into built trees of source code, you can easily fill up a 160GB disk. Source code is great reading material for a slow day...
I'll take the shotgun blast for $500, please. Once I went rabbit hunting with a 12 guage. Birdshot so we wouldn't destroy the poor Easter Bunny. Well, here comes the bouncing bunny and I take a shot. Like it was some kind of shooting gallery at the circus, the fluffy bunny bounces in the other direction. Let off a second shotgun blast and he changes direction again to where he was going in the first place. By this time, the other hunters enjoyed what they saw and one guy scooped the bunny up and yelled, "He isn't dead yet!" and threw him into the bushes. I let the bunny have a third blast and the dog ends up catching the little varmint.
The bold essense of buckshot over birdshot or a rifle would have put an end to that nonsense.
One BIG meteor would put an end to us. Many little meteors would put on a great show for many, just like my hunting trip.
Yes, I'd rather be hit with a bail of hay than of a bullet carrying the same kenetic energy. Neither would be pleasant, but I'll take the distributed forces any day.
If Linux had an exploit that allowed someone to ssh into your box, su to root, then fsck your harddrive, and a patch wasn't released...
I use Linux and it makes me feel safer knowing exactly what security problems my boxen are facing. If I wanted filtered information or a public relations ass kissing, I'd use Microsoft products. It gives me peace of mind knowing no information is being kept from me. The place that reliably gives this information first is who I will trust when researching issues that may affect me.
And of course, diffs of the source code shows the sploits. But, I woulnd't mind seeing the actual weapon that can get me too. That way I can make an informed decision how serious and credible the threat really is.
The Kansas City convention industry is hiring cooks and janitors. Digging ditches is also a career option. Other than that, you pretty much have to make your own job.
What cave do you live in? Here in Kansas City, we have a choice between two competing cable companies, Road Runner, Everest, Comcast, ADSL from our beloved telephone company, various wireless networks if you live high enough on a hill, etc, etc... They all seem to work well and recognizes that Linux exists. Road Runner has been up 100% since the year I got it (not counting the time the tree fell in my back yard,) so it looks like I won't be switching anytime soon.
Not a question, but just a thanks for your work many years ago creating a wonderfully inspiring television series that defined science fiction in its time enjoyed by at least my family. The experience helped create a connection with the beautiful heavens above. Your part in history is a great one and it is my hope you recognize contributions.

Some of your police hardly have an international reputation for integrity.
That's because we like to blame our problems on everything. Our news has to have something to blame. Our politicians do it too. We like to complain, because if we didn't everything would be boring and we would have no goals. Its good that people feel insecure so they will be driven to spend money on ways to feel safe. Actually, its very peaceful here in the USA. Just don't tell anyone.

Sounds like an offer you can't refuse. But I would offer to stay and help improve things myself. I'm sure they would like for me to stick around and add a grass roots feel to the place.
Its more invasive than that. I work in a grocery wharehouse. There are electronic tags to monitor temperature, vibration and shock, humidity, air quality, time of travel, GPS, and all sorts of violations of privacy. What does this mean to you as a consumer? Your food is guaranteed to be fresh and not subject to conditions that would make it unsafe.
These sensors are everywhere. They help improve failures in distribution that costs shippers and consumers alike money.
Just be afraid when a bill is passed to push that national ID card as an injectable tag behind your neck. That's when you will find FAQ's on the internet how to build tin foil hats.
Unfortunately, anybody who walks is highly visible and subject to even greater scrutiny. You dare to be different. You dare to be free. Most people enjoy the common luxurious privacy a car provides, but walking is regarded as a social activity. When walking, you are judged by your clothes, where you are heading, the manner in which you walk, and in today's society your body will be sized up and compared with the unusual mind of the beholder.
Whenever you are visible, you are being profiled. Being visible, especially in an automated manner by the government, may result in interesting profiles brought on by current politics. Cameras are now often seen at intersections. Initially seen as a means of controlling traffic, they may serve other uses. Security cameras watching pedestrians are becoming more common. And the person who writes software that can demonstrate profiling criminals has a goal to make money. Do those cameras see a dollar bill when they see you? Do you really want to walk and expose your face anymore?
