This must be the saddest story we've read here in a long time. An honest company with honest intentions attracts a capital injection from a investment firm looking to invest in companies with a bright future. A match made in heaven.:-)
Lucky Baystar comes out with some cash. The other SCO shareholders will just have to scramble for what they can on the sharemarket before the company sinks without a trace.
The Canberra Times - I read it in the dead tree version - had a piece a week or so ago where a researcher from RSES,ANU saying that the crater was obviously volcanic from the nature of the rocks.
Unfortunately the linked article is available in the Online Journal which you can either subscribe to or go to you neareast Uni Library and check it out.
A Thermal heat pulse and the ejecta from the impact could travel around the world because of gravity dragging the ejecta back towards the earth. Upon reentry, the ejecta emitted IR radiation, brightening the sky globally. This means no night and no shadows (as the heat sources were distributed across the sky compared with the single-source solar IR radiation). This means there was nowhere to hide unless you were underground. Even rock crevices were no shelter. Subsequent fires igniting simultaenously [the suggest that there are isotopically uniform charcoal deposits at the boundary] would have added to the carnage. These fires were not significant compared to the intensity of the IR radiation. Normal solar flux ~1.4kW.m^-2, this event was calucated by Melosh in a previous paoer in 1990 to product ~10kW.m^-2. Note that ambient air temerature would have only rise ~10 K.
As for survivors, those burrowers > 10cm below the soil surface would survive. Sheltering and semi-aquatic birds are posited to be survivors.
The important thing is that this paper presents no specific fossil evidence. It does offer some phylogenetic evidence to support the bird survival hypothesis. It presents one model that can be further refined and/or refuted with evidence. It is not necessarily true or false but it can be falsified. They suggest checking Gondwanan sites for evidence of spherules (proof of ejecta reentering) and their distribution. That is the nature of science which the majority of posters thus far need to grasp. Think of science in terms of mathematical functions that approach a limit/converge as evidence and models accumulate.
From the Article: "Linux now powers more than 3,400 servers inside IBM, including machines that run IBM's state-of-the-art 300-millimeter semiconductor factory in East Fishkill, N.Y. Now IBM is considering erasing Windows from its desktops and moving them to Linux, too."
That is some thick wires. At least resistances will be low:-) Perhaps they meant to say "IBM's state-of-the-art 300-picometre semi-conductor factory."
And if people are interested in generating really hard passwords, I have modified pwgen to accept a -s option. This means generate completely random characters and -p "include one special character"
Useful for root passwords etc you can lock away and rarely use.
If you want something a little less daunting but still includes the special characters, use:-

Ted Tso, pwgen's creator, never responded to my patch, I guess he is busy with other things now. I should get around to looking at it again. There are a couple of bugs in mixed options parsing at the moment. Maybe I should submit it to the Debian maintainer.

Huh? How did openbsd.org get hacked? gnome.org etc.
Step one. Use a remote exploit on a process running as a non-priviledged user. Step 2. E\/1L H@X0Rs now have access to the local exploit. Step 3. Game Over.
Unbelievable. Equating private ownership with communism! The stock market in its pure form is to have a ready market for shares in companies so investors can be confident they can buy into a company and not be locked in as one would it the company was privately held. As the owners have stated as much in their filing, they have enough cash and definitely don't need investors. This makes the IPO unnecessary.

Anyone remember the Apple ][?;-) I was always impressed with what you can do with an X register, a Y register and an accumulator. See Chapter 2 of the HP Owner's manual and the X and Y registers a right there.
My feelings exactly. I have made a number ot US visits over the years. There are still plenty of other countries that don't treat their "friends" as enemies. Next time across the Pacific, it has to be Canada and definitely no Hawaiian stopover.

I hope that isn't completely autobiographical. Part 1. and 2. are true. If part 3. is true, then you truly are "suffering for your art". Hang in there.
A completely seperate _Domain_ of life, only recently delineated from bacteria an eukaryotes. Analysis of acid mine drainage sites have found these microbes living in pH -3.5, and actually actively drive down the pH themselves.
See http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/archaea/archaea.html.Jill Banfield, a Macarthur Grant recipient, has done quite a bit of work on this.
Not so sure it needs Parliamentary approval. We don't need Parliament to send us to war and I don't think we need Parliament to ratify treaties. The Execuitve has that power. For a Govt that rattles on about external treaties having undue influence on internal affairs (eg Human Rights) this is extremely rich. See http://www.democrats.org.au/news/index.htm?press_i d=3269
Just a minor nit Andrew.
370 Assembler is not totally useless as there is a bunch of Assembler exits still being used around the world. The instruction set of the later machines is an extension of the basic 370 and most of the coding tricks should still work. I peeked over the shoulder of a programmer last year maintaining one.
Not doing assembler language is limiting one's view of programming though. Basing a whole course around it is pushing it, however. A CS degree should have a computer architectural component to it and Assembly languages should be part of that course. Writing programs without having a reasonable model of what will happen when it executes is, IMHO, limiting. Not having read the book, I can only surmise that that is the point of the book.
Well said. Wouldn't the nitpickers have a field day with Thomas Mallory's vs say Chretien de Troyes's telling of the Arthurian Tales.
Stirrups are the first issue. One could go on. What about Tennyson, White, Zelazny, JMS...?
Literal interpretation of myth and its telling is always fraught with danger and missing the point of story-telling.
There's plenty of romatic bits there.
There was a lot of nose blowing and tear-wiping in the cinema when my wife and I watched RoTK. The long-distance agony of Arwen-Aragorn, the unrequited agony of Eowyn-Aragorn, the implied Eowyn-Faramir match.

A colleague submitted a bunch of local exploit reports to Apple months ago with no reasonable response. I certainly don't read mail on my iBook.
Besides , he knows how to boot a rescue disk if that fails.
Where could this geographic genius get such a myopic view of the world from?

Our Senators are not as tied to corporations as yours. There seems to be some benefit to publically funded campaigning.
Minor nitpick. Your density figure seems a tad low. Mantle density is about 3300kg/m^3 and the core ~8000.

A younger Bilbo is going to be an interesting task. Ian Holm is no "spring chichen".
Homer Simpson was the first thing I thought of too.

Mark Latham was misquoted above. He called Howard an "arse licker". No confusion there.
