I know this was a joke, but just to give some extra insight to some rad hardening perticulars...
Tinfoil would not be enough, creating efficient Rad hardened electronics is an interesting problem. Not only do you have to deal with simple EM types of interference, but the possibility of radiation flipping the bit stored in a register. Typically parallel processors that do redundant checks on data, multipath techniques and other sharing and swarm-consensus types of architectures would be employed. This is the preferred method because strapping a big honking metal plate is MUCH more costly, just to negate rad effects. Although they would still have to shield it against small-debris impacts.
Dude! Have you had Space Food? No self respecting alien would want to convert that into compatable food. Think of the alien childern! They would grow up with Hooves!
I know your an AC, but have you ever seen a VIA 1ghz in action, as a previous poster pointed out and IMHE, they dont preform much better than a PIII-500mhz.
Yea but there has been alot of debate over the degradation of data life on a CD when the adhesive or dyes from the printers and labels are applied to cd's. Perhaps this method would boost data life to the point of non-marked cd's. It probibly wont because that top layer is really fragile, so we might as well stick to our alcohol based marking solutions for now.
The only thing I worry about with scholar, after giving it a whirl, is that some newer papers that have recently been published dont appear, since it seems it builds its index off of citations first. I worry that if Scholar does take hold, newer more obscure papers that may not get the publicity of more mainstream journals and venues of publication will never be seen again (This is all reliant on their indexing model not getting better). Perhaps i'll have to start submiting abstracts of my work to Google as well now...
Yes thats all I want too, but AOL isnt aimed at the/. crowd. As someone said before, AOL is aimed at Joe and Jane Sixpack, who are too afraid of what lurks on the wire or to clueless too know any better. And frankly, thoes kinds of users need something like AOL to help them take their baby steps onto the web.
Even better one would be for an intruder to take note of which DNS server your connecting to, then BOOM, quick spoofed scan and you cant get DNS. While your DNS is out and you are trying to get your connectiong working they slip inline on you and 'pretend' to be your DNS, now they can poison you really easily... of course, muggiling with the routing tables of a up stream switch and whatnot to pass themselves off as a DNS server, or hijacking the upstream DNS isnt always the easiest, but it would be a dirty way to slip into a large corp's systems if the security was set like such...
But what about this article? And isnt sound just a pressure wave? Cant such waves propigate in space? Yes its a vaccume, but RF propigates too, I dont see how sound couldnt propigate as well. Although, your head might explode should you try to listen to sounds in space with just your ear alone!;o)
I know its only a quote, but thats nonsense. I've had to maintain a dozens of SGI's at work, Onyx 2000s Origin 2/3s, Indys, Octanes.. and you know what?
They break! And when their service contract expries, they break twice as quick.
I've turned machines off for 3 hours while work was being done to AC or electrical units neerby and turned them back on to find a $10k repair bill awaiting me. Yet, in the same room were old cruddy Gateway PC's running a small terminal server for the SGI or a web server or liscense daemon, that still are running. Sorry, I just cant believe anyone who really thinks SGI's are reliable, I havent had one yet that is...
Sorry to nitpick, but you hit one of my rant buttons..
NASA does astronomy. To be very blunt and honest, astronomy provides very few concrete short-term benefits.
Really? Astronomy? Well, they do some of that, but every look at NASA Langley. They do aerospace research, have aided Boeing in desinging almost every aircraft they built. Langley has produced some of the finest Structures and Materials research. And has many unique test facilities and wind tunnels that nobody else has.
Or what about NASA Glenn? They do space research, but their studies into new and unique propulsion systems dont look like astronomy to me.
NASA is a low-frills research organization. They get poor public support, and even more limited congresional support, yet they produce some amazing stuff. The problem that I see is, the public thinks exactly like your first sentance, they dont view NASA as an incubator for new expensive tech that can mature and develop well only in a gov funded (ie no worries about profit) situations. If you dont belive me on that point, go look at the papers on Optics, Radar, Ultrasonics, look at aircraft structures, etc, somewhere in there is a NASA engineer who developed, or help develop core features that are curtial today.
If there was no AMD as we know it, Intel may have not ever been pushed enough to get to the 3.06 GHz by this point in time. Although its likely there would be another competitor, that they would have inspired Intel to get into the clock war like it has with AMD is anyones guess. I think just AMD being a good competitor has improved not only AMD's chips, but also the quality of the Intel chips.
Hurm.. not a full moon tonight, but it wasnt found as a grey stone, so the chances of it being your luckstone vs. a cursed load stone or a cursed worthless piece of glass.... wait it is glass! Crap!

Oviously you have never played a game of checkers with a bored six year old?!
They don't have the money to pay anyone to listen...

You forgot something, the posted was by an "Anonymous Coward" containing all of your list.
I think I just satan at the Burlington Coat Factory getting a goose down jacket, I think hell just froze over...

Except Windows is no more complicated on the user end than Chewing Glass; just point and pray.
;) Sorry Had to do that =P
Its only broken on the back-end.
(do any states do that anymore?)
In Virginia you automagically have your SSN put on your License unless you select the porly worded opt-out checkbox on your application form.
oh no! We might be waiting till Longhorn is released if it has to scan my collection!

Reliability and SGI in the same paragraph?!

Ok.. off my soap box...
I know your an AC, but arnt you missing the obligatory...
7. ???
8. FAR less Profit for Me!!!
Or Rip them to DivX and use one of These to save even more time/space! I am! =D

All movies are now shipping with the 'evil' bit state set per frame
8088 was lucky for intel, so maybe for china too
Man and I just thought that it was related to a 2d3 roll all this time!
Yea, somewhere as he read that tagline Dan Goldin had an orgazm.
