besides I might have a very good reason to leave a TCP connection up when I go home
Then you might need to arrange it with the network admin so he knows what's happening. So he can add it to the "don't kill tonight" list. Maybe this level of security applies to your company, maybe it doesn't...
Even better was when the Hydra protocol was introduced. Fast, bidirectional filetransfers, and you could chat with the sysop during long downloads. Ofcourse that means nothing now since everyone has multitasking, but back then, in DOS, it was great...
The thing we sent to that astoroid and landed on had an ion engine. It traveled way faster then anything else we ever put out there.
I think you mean Deep Space 1, which has an ion engine and flew within 1,400 miles of comet Borelly. A little extra duty for that spacecraft, not unlike Pioneer greatly exceeding expectations.
The one that landed on an asteroid was NEAR Shoemaker, but it has normal thrusters. Both where extraordinary missions.

Try "Falkenbergs Legion". It's more about war than science fiction but a fun read anyway.
Good old times... Yeah, did that for a while, until I soldered in a resetbutton, connected to the userport. Aaah those days of replacing the CIA chips because they were not buffered... Making 2-bit sound samplers with 4 or 5 components... Adding a switch to toggle between PAL and NTSC because the latter was 25% faster (even though you couldn't see anything on the screen).. That wacky taperecorder, the small screwdriver to adjust the head... sigh.
Doctor's recommend wearing one, because the injury that could occur to the fetus by improperly/not wearing one is much greater than the injury potential when wearing one properly.
That's not what our doctor recommended my wife, while she was pregnant with my 2 year old and my 2 week old girls. Just goes to show that doctors rarely all agree on a subject.
A friend of mine was even recommended (though not officialy, off the record) to smoke a little bit of marihuana at the end of her pregnancy, because with the chronic disease that she has that was the only painkiller that worked. (Yes, she quit had smoking when she became pregnant, and she knew from before the pregnancy that marihuana was the only non-addictive painkiller that was effective. Yes, I live in the Netherlands:) ). The side-effects of the pain and loss of sleep were in the doctors opinion worse than those of smoking a small amount of marihuana.
As for the women who put the shoulder belt behind them -- well, I hope they never wind up in an accident.
For pregnant women this is different, though. Even a minor traffic accident or hard braking could be very bad for an unborn child when using the shoulderstrap.

Hehe.. another entry for the future www.badbiology.com:)
"One should remember that the Universe is large enough that unlikely things happen really quite often."
I read this on a page about gravitational lenses. Einstein predicted that the chance to find one of these was so small that it would never happen. Today we know of more than thirty. Just a little something to make you think about the scale of the universe.
"Note that the printed Domesday Book, on which the digital project was modeled, is still quite accessible after almost 1000 years."
Somehow I don't think bypassing copy protection on this book is much of an issue.

The term "decapitation strike" comes to mind :)

I have to say that Quantum always replaced them, no questions asked. And every Quantum harddrive of any other type that I've used has been good.

So, at what age do you learn to count over there? :)
In this day and age: Press CTRL-W now for an IQ test! :)
That one supposedly only works with unprotected lit. I'm not 100% sure since I don't have a protected lit to test with.
Oh dear... are you one of those many americans that cannot find Iraq on a globe?

Make sure the comm systems don't work... Would not want any BSB LIVE FROM SPACE shows, now would we?
And the quake2 community is quite thankful for that ;)

Then go read some Edgar Rice Burroughs, his Mars series are about a naked superhero chasing a chick around the planet ;)
I always get that while reading /.
At least one airlock. Yes...lame. :)
