MREs aren't much better than Pop Tarts or Cliff Bars. MREs are also designed to plug up the works, if you know what I mean (source: a friend is USMC). I'd take Top-Ramen over MREs anyday, but you still need amino acids and micronutrients that your body cannot manufacture. Too bad MntDew and Ramen isnt a complete meal. =(

How about $.001 to send an email, and $.001 when the receiver acks it, like deposits for those lugage carts in the airports? Spammers will stop real quick. =)
What about doing away w/ smtp relays? Why not save the bandwidth and send and email directly to the dest smtp? Then, the ops could just ipchains -j DENY them? I realize this defeats the nice "features" of redunancy and off-line/UUCP batch transfers of email, but oh-well.
If you're a public IP on the internet, you have to expect some DoS, and have to work w/ authorities/ISPs to catch and stop DoSers at the higher levels.
Maybe require PGP or GPG (3rd-party trust authority)?
If you had two free-standing buildings, that were light, next to each other, and have very similar fundamental frequencies (mass, interial moment,...), then they could potentially sway in antiphase. Methinks, is this a microgravity effect? F = -G*m1*m2/r^2
M$FT branded and licensed products, of course. So 3rd-parties are out? Maybe it wont violate the DMCA to hack the Xbox to make it cooperate w/ other hardware, since M$FT is being ghey as usual turning avg consumers into criminals. BAH!
You also have to weight the costs/benefits of open-source, and what kind of support contract(s) you can get for such systems. A system can be completely open-source and proprietary at the same time, making the learning curve for any potential support personnel unnecessarily steep. Though Apache/BSD shoud be pretty much standard everywhere, as I can't see a good reason to use a Windoze webserver in a minimal cost environment, such as government. Then again, the government never seems to have any incentive to make fiscally-sound choices, as what profit motive do they have?
1) This guy should learn chemistry first, if he's going to try to write ionic equations.
Hypochlorous acid is HClO.
2) Breaboards are not ideal for switching loads or controlling things as a permanent solution, probably should make a PCB and solder the components on, as breadboards tend to make crappy connections (similar to a cold solder joint).
3) Probably should use optocouplers and protection diodes on *anything* you build and attach to your computer(s).
4) Real men use languages like perl and c, not wussy shell scripts. jk, at least it's not labview or vb script on winbloze or macs.
/.-ing some fool, now he's gonna have a $1000 internet bill. At least, have someone mirror their pages on some service that is/.-resistant. Should we feel guilty? Probably.

It sounds like the air-based system could be easily defeated w/ a can of spray-on lacquer to coat the disc. Does that voilate any laws?? I mean, give me a break if their technology is flawed and inferior, they deserve to lose.
Is this to counter that earlier posting of a story from the UK, that asked if humans stopped evolving? Nice timing, in any event.
Using DNA analysis, the same species of a shrimp in the Gulf and Pacific, seperated by Panama, are diverging. When one from the pacific and gulf are placed in proximity, they do not identify the other for mating, etc.
Another DYK tid-bit: somehow, in "human"-ancestors DNA, probably before reptiles, a simple, single cell organisms' DNA "mixed" w/ our ancestors, giving us an immune system. The scaling up, from one to multicellular organisms was one of the biggest leaps forward in evolution, the others are probably the formation of cells, sexual dimorphism and plant/animal cells differentiation. The truth is that there are no "lost links," as it would be virtually impossible to find the ancestry of every individual animal to every single ancestor (and "species"). 99.9999% of soft tissue does not end up in the La Brea Tar Pits or get preserved, we will have to live with some holes in genetic history, but we will get a clearer picture over time.
AOL, what a great service. What else could you want besides a spyware captive program, ads while you read your mail and directed, unsolicited marketing? How about the fact that AOL makes more money off the advertising side of is business, selling the AOHell losers' info and eyeballs. It should be a crime for AOL to actually charge for its service.

Easy mac doesnt need anything but water and heat; of course you'll have to add vitamins and protein to the mix or noodles.

The DMA is hard at work, mail-bombing the world.
Can we classify spammers as terrorists? How about the Church of $cientology?
email for the DMA: mailto:wboell@dma.net sign them up for some porn ads. =P
You are a waste of space. Please stop.

Though I can ride w/o hands, I'd probably crash playing chess or simcity on my way to school. Davis has way too many bikes. =P

2) install slackware.

LOL! That'll work. rm -rf *stupid*companies* like Circuit City and Macrovision.
It's impossible to deny that coporations have the power in this country, that the laws are to serve the corporations, not the people.
