Perhaps the Japanese legal system is more thorough when determining when, or how a crime has been committed , rather than the "Kill em all and let god (or a jury) sort 'em out" approach seen in other countries.
Japanese police blame document leak on virus Posted on Wednesday, April 07, 2004 at 16:56 by Andy Holliday
Japanese police announced earlier this week that data stored on a private laptop relating to a crime has been unwittingly circulated on the internet.
The information was stored in 19 documents and even 'wanted' lists that had been compiled by a Police Officer and stored on his laptop.
According the police, 11 names of actual persons were contained in the documents.
The police suspect that a virus caused the leak and then the documents were circulated over the internet, probably over the Japanese Winny P2P network.
The officer in question claims that he received permission to use his own PC for the work but is currently being questioned over the security breach.
Detailed descriptions of the crimes were said to be included in the documents that were distributed.
They have no moving parts and will generate a "closure" for a short period when tapped / pressed.
IP67 rated too ( you can hose them with no effect )
The ones I've seen are around AUD40 so they're not that cheap, but they are absolutely indestructible. I use them in an underground mining environment where they are exposed to all sorts of crud / acidic water / ammonium nitrate explosives and they are quite excellent.
I was meaning - minerals , not in the sense of diamonds etc , but iron ore , bauxite, lead carbonate etc. You don't *need* explosives for mining, but the general strata disruption is still there, no matter how you get the wanted stuff out. And it's easy to spot a mined-out deposit if you map it. 19th-century explosives were crude , but were gaining widespread use in mining... and I thought the parent was looking for a possible early-industrial dinosoar civilisation?
It's true though, a society that only uses clay pots and wood is not going to leave an impact that would be easily seen 60 million years later. But plenty of plants easily leave fossilised imprints... so you'd expect that there would have been *some* record found by now, especially if you take "early industrial" as "fairly large, spread out population"
The computer mapping system (I presume) is easier to use than the paper maps. So if someone's missing and it takes (say) an extra 5 minutes to get the map out, plot drifts and currents and say "we'll search here", and the searchplane passes overhead 4 minutes after the boat has sunk without trace... is this still safety critical? If an extra life could have been saved if you had the computer system up?
Well, presuming that they advanced to (or beyond) a bronze age, they'd need minerals that you'd most easily get by mining and refining, and the evidence of previous mining of a mineral deposit would be easily spotted by a geologist 60 million years later (a lot of strata disruption,shattered rock indicating the use of explosives, trace mineralisation with no "body" in the centre... etc.)

You could always just (as I presume they will) slowly restrict operations as effeciencies wear down. (Nah, stay here today, charge batteries for a trip tomorrow)
Surely at *some* point the dust deposition on your panels would balance out to the amount of dust being blown off them - whether it's at some useful percentage remains to be seen I guess.
When it gets real tough they could always turn it into a permanent station - just park up in an interesting (preferably high-ish) spot, change your firmware to boot up once a day and send an "I'm Still Here! Temp -30degC Pressure 6mbar location..... as before" message.... once a week or at local noon try and squeeze enough juice into (and out of) your fruited batteries to take a photo.
Gonna miss klyx if it's missing - I've written a few formulae and plot laden reports with it and I find it excellent, esp when you want a consistent layout.
The pdf viewer that runs in linux can dump to postscript, so it's relatively easy to open,dump to postscript, edit, use ghostscript to convert back to PDF.
In fact I've used it on a number of occasions where people have sent me "print-protected / edit-protected" versions of documents, as the pdfviewer program conveniently ignores such "hints".
Basically , if you can view it, you can change it.
And so it should be - units has been around since the Big Unix days - a quick search of "units man" gives references back to '92 at least (from SunOs 5.9)

you can bet that the russkies were tracking launch attempts very very carefully - anything that looked like it might have been staged would have been trumpeted all over the place.
They've got a craft with a docking ring for the ISS.
What's really to stop them from launching and just hooking on up with the ISS? Are there anti-spacecraft LASERS on the ISS?
Hell, if I could do it , I would... (Another quiet day on the ISS) (Suddenly there's a bit of a bump) radio: "Bing,bong!" ISS crew: "er, Hello?" radio : "Ah, g'day. Was just in the neighborhood and thought I'd do the friendly thing and drop in and say hi." ISS crew: "(Stunned silence)" radio: "I've got a six pack on ice here.... want one? We could chuck empty beer bottles at passing continents... bet you can't hit the white house from here!"

You can still get the older versions for free bundled with pgp 6.0.something.
Create a container with PGPdisk, mount it as a drive, install email client to that drive.

I'd take issue with reusable there, a pretty large proportion of the shuttle is burnt up or replaced after flights

Hooray for Google news , hey?

yeah, trolling slashdot is bad for your Karma, man.
That's where you say "Did I give you written permission? Did you give me a quote for all that work? No? Thanks for the free exhaust system."

It depends on how you look at it:

evolution probably didn't figure on you living past 30 either... but, contrary to teenagers wishes , here we are :-)

I'd hardly call a net $98,999 profit priceless , especially seeing that it's ,er, a price.
You should have phrased your joke in the timeworn underpants-gnome style, thus:
1. Get green tea and hard drives
2. ????
3. PROFIT!
You could even say,"OMG! Step 2 finally revealed!!" and substitute step 2 above with:
2. Recieve a $100,000 grant from NSF.
The possibilites are endless!
I can tell you personally that gerbilling and snowballing are both enjoyable activities assuming you take the right precautions.
Lucky someone didn't take that statement out of context, you could be portrayed as someone decidedly unwholesome.
