Just a couple of days ago I tossed someone an 'Underrated' mod, when I thought he had been unfairly moderated Troll. The result was "2, Troll" - at least, I'm fairly sure that's what I saw. I could be wrong.
Good advice. The technique I use when executing interactive commands that could have Really Bad Repercussions if I've made a mistake, is to put an extra character at the start of the command, so even if I accidentally hit Enter without doublechecking what I've typed, the command won't execute. After I'm sure I'm not about to cause the end of the world, I go back and remove the extra character and execute the command.
A couple of times a week, I've had email refuse to authenticate me. I use IMAP + ThunderBird, and it keeps asking for my password repeatedly. Usually it takes less than 5 minutes for things to go back to normal.

Same here.
To continue on-topic, I did once attempt to send an email to a friend explaining to her that she was the Girl of My Dreams, etc, etc. Luckily or not, my modem that night failed to connect to the upstream UUCP connection (this was in 1989 or 1990) and the email didn't get sent. When I noticed this the next morning, I chickened out and did away with the unsent message. Looking back, it probably would have been for the better if it had actually gotten sent. Sigh.:-(
In the original series, Constellation was also of the same (Constitution-) class as Enterprise. By the time of TNG, there was a class of ships called Constellation, of which Stargazer was an example.
When I was in college in the mid-late 80s I used to work as a sysadmin in a robotics lab, and more recently while taking classes a couple of years ago I used to wander the halls in the late afternoons and evenings and look in at at the various labs. They were always occupied by Chinese, Indian, Pakistani, etc. students - very rarely were there any 'native' American students there.
I suspect that when you've traveled around the world to get an education, you actually focus on doing so rather than partying or whatever. Also, perhaps someone who would travel around the world for education might be more focused naturally.
I saw "Midway" (I thought I remembered it being "Tora Tora Tora", but according to the Wikipedia article, I guess it must have been "Midway") in Sensurround, and vaguely recall being impressed by the movie, but I don't remember the Sensurround aspect specifically - must not have made that much of an impression on my 10-year-old self.
I've been trying to learn to play bass too; I'll visit this guy's website. I have a local instructor for lessons, but I think it's good to get other perspectives. Certainly can't hurt.
There seems to be a fair amount of people trying to reproduce copyrighted music on YouTube. I wonder why this guy would have been singled out? I specifically recall seeing one guy playing the bass part of Rush's YYZ, for example. I found that clip when someone on a bass forum pointed me to it - the guy was using the same sort of bass I have (Steinberger).

I'd check his math, but I don't know the values of h and w.

True. You can't be too safe in this day and age - it should definitely be using DNSSEC.

Once blue supergiant, never back.
I was referring to the idiotic players who constantly jump all the time.
And fruit flies like a banana.
Like a person who couldn't walk but had to hop everywhere.
Unfortunately, all you have to do is log in to World of Warcraft to see what this looks like.
You don't want to flounder if an unscalable version comes down the pike, though.
And what do you burn, apart from IE-supporters?

Could God create an editor that sucks so badly even He couldn't use it?
(joke purposefully phrased to be editor-agnostic)
No, they use the "catch and release" method :-).

Wasn't "True Names" in 1981?
Maybe 47% was a typo, and the poster meant 74%?
I believe HBO had a Star Trek series like that, except it was set in the 1880s and involved a camp full of foul-mouthed miners.
So much for my "Ice-2009 SP2" joke.
There was a very interesting interview with Bamford a few weeks ago.
Did Carver go under very recently? I'm pretty sure I just got a Carver catalog in the mail - very possible I'm misremembering the name, though.
The Surgeon General has determined that this substance has been found to cause swimming in laboratory animals.
