Imagine the munks, years ago, using disapearing ink in their scrolls so you didn't have time to read it long enough to place letters on a plate at a printing press!
I've got endless Dockers where my wallet has rubbed a hole in the pocket, the knee has gone, or they just plain started to fall apart. They aren't bad enough to throw out, but...
Speaking of tron where can i get the linux tron game that looks just like the arcade? One of the linux distros had it included but now I cant find it. Is there one for windows?
Unfortunately it is not that simple. My understanding is that bacteria that gain resistance by exposure to one antibiotic (or antiseptic) may often gain resistance to other antibiotics. I am not totally clear on this issue but the bottom line is we need more research in the area.
Sub-Therapeutic use of antibiotics in food animals is very common. Sub-Therapeutic means feeding animals, usually pigs and chickens, very low doses of antibiotics because they will gain weight faster and make the farmer or producer more money in weight gain than the cost of the antibiotics.
I agree that Sub-Therapeutic use of antibiotics may not be a good idea but to date there has not been a good study that shows any link between antibiotic use in animals and antibiotic resistantance in human infection. It is all theory at this point.
Most people don't know you can get antibiotics for food animals without a prescription.
The FDA is investigating cases of guys in the military buying (and using on themselves) fish antibiotics sold in pill form at the same doses used in humans. I don't know why military guys would do this when they have access to cheap/free healthcare. I guess it has something to do with being willing to jump on a grenade.
Anyway I had a friend in college who said he didn't like doctors. When he felt sick he would shoot himself in the ass with pig antibiotics he got from a feed store. He wanted me to tell him how much he should use so I told him to use a does between a sheep and a pig:) I finally got him to stop when I explained how he could die from anaphylactic shock.
I bet he could be trained to jump on a grenade too!
TiVo, for instance, needs lots of capacity, but speed is not a critical issue. Any modern 5,400RPM drive is more than sufficient. Who wants to watch a movie and listen to a loud whine from a disc drive?
I do! I am from the Tim Allen School; I want a tivo so loud it scares my neighbors.
You can call it what you want but in 1986 I lived 50 miles from the launch pad and it was one disasters fireworks show that left 7 people dead... I will never forget it.
The point is in a airplane you are already in a pressurized cabin with a ready O2 source and your cool little full cell little fuel cell adds hydrogen to the mix.

From
January 28, 1986
The temperature at ground level at Pad 39B was 36 degrees F. That was 15 degrees F cooler than any other previous launch by NASA. The Solid Rocket Boosters (SRB) were ignited, and the thundering noise started. At 0.7 seconds after ignition, videotapes showed black smoke coming from the aft (bottom) field joint of the right SRB. The aft field joint is the lower portion of the SRB. The black smoke suggested that grease, joint insulation and rubber O-rings were being burned. The smoke continued to come from the aft field joint facing the Exterior Tank, on cycles of 3 puffs of smoke per second. The last puff of smoke was seen at 2.7 seconds.
Challenger crew (Francis R. Scobee, Michael J. Smith, Ronald E. McNair, Ellison S. Onizuka, Judith A. Resnick, Gregory B. Jarvis, Christa McAuliffe)
The black smoke was an indication that the aft field joint was not sealing correctly.
In flight, flashes were seen on Challenger. Three bright flashes shot across the Challenger's wings, 45 seconds after lift off. Each of the three flashes lasted only 1/13 of a second. These flashes had been seen on other shuttle missions and were not considered problems. They were completely unrelated to the flames that were seen later during the flight. At 59 seconds into the flight, flames were seen coming from the right SRB. These flames were originating from the aft center and aft joint, at 305 degrees around the circumference of the SRB. The flames were burning gases that were escaping from the SRB. A fraction of a second later, at 59.3 seconds, these flames were well defined, and could be seen without enhanced film.
As the flames increased in size, they begun to push against the External Tank.. The SRB is attached to the External Tank by a series of struts alongside the External Tank. One of these struts is located at 310 degrees of the circumference of the SRB. As the flames grew, they pushed against this strut, with an intense heat of 5600 degrees F, making it hot and weak.
The first sight that the flames were hitting the External Tank was at 65 seconds, when the color of the flames changed. The color change indicated that the flame color was being produced by its mixing with another substance. This other substance was liquid Hydrogen which is stored in the External Tank. The External Tank stores Hydrogen and Oxygen in two tanks. The top tank contains Oxygen and the bottom contains Hydrogen. Pressures changes from the Hydrogen tank confirmed there was a leak. Forty-five milliseconds after the color change, a small glowing light developed between the External Tank and Challenger's black tiles.
At 72 seconds there was a sudden chain of events that destroyed Challenger and the seven crew members on board. All of these events happened in less than two seconds. By now the lower strut, connecting the right SRB to the External Tank was extremely hot and very weak. With the amount of force given by the SRB, the lower strut broke away from both the right SRB and the External Tank, allowing the right SRB to rotate freely around the top struts. With the SRB out of control, the bottom of the SRB swung around hitting, burning and denting Challenger's wing. At 73.12 seconds into flight a white vapor was seen from the bottom corner of the right SRB.
The tank of Hydrogen inside the External Tank ruptured and released liquid Hydrogen. With the sudden absence of Hydrogen, there was an extreme force that shot the Hydrogen tank forward into the Oxygen tank which also burst. As the two intertanks collided, the top of the right SRB on the outside hit the top of the External Tank, and also broke the Oxygen tank. The white vapor seen was the mixture of Hydrogen and Oxygen. At 73.14 seconds, all the structures failed. Only milliseconds after the white vapor was seen from the right SRB, the glow turned to a fireball in a huge explosion. The main explosion was the Hydrogen and Oxygen that came from the External Tank. Challenger was traveling at a speed of Mach 1.92, at a height of 46,000 feet, when it blew up. The last recorded transmission from Challenger was at 73.62 seconds after launch, when it truly fell apart.
You say hydrogen not explosive? I say Space Shuttle Challenger January 28, 1986!
Now if you are going to argue weather the Hindenburg exploded or just burnt really hot I say it doesn't matter I still don't want 3rd degree burns on my private parts any more than I want them blown off.
I copy my CD's to MP3 format and take those into work so that I won't have my CD's stolen. I do the same with my DVD's, except I convert them to Windows Media 8 format.
Is anyone at Slashdot working on an interview with the guy(s) that are responsible for PCs preloaded with Mandrake and Lindows to the marketplace at Walmart.com?
They already have this! It is great you just pay your fee and watch live. You can even call em up and tell em what you want... er... nevermind... I was think of porn.

ok you lost me here. Which boot time? When you 1st launch the cd boot or when you boot off HD?
Why is this not mod funny?
Why does this remind me of magic scrolls in AD&D?
Yes they are!
Speaking of tron where can i get the linux tron game that looks just like the arcade? One of the linux distros had it included but now I cant find it. Is there one for windows?
No, no, you don't get it this is a feature to keep it true to the original game experience the console edition is overpriced.

I looks like a great way to store MP3 files but can you rip DVDs to the HD and then play em right off the HD? How many DVDs will fit on a 30 GB HD?
Can I pay $.99 per track to burn a cd-r and then sell it on ebay?
What about Britney Spears' latest bra size? Did I miss something? Why is this not on /. frontpage?!?
then how does girls gone wild sell the tapes?
I do! I am from the Tim Allen School; I want a tivo so loud it scares my neighbors.
I thought hotmail and yahoo mail were older than that.

(off topic) Now a good blowjob...
What software do you use to convert DVDs?
Is anyone at Slashdot working on an interview with the guy(s) that are responsible for PCs preloaded with Mandrake and Lindows to the marketplace at Walmart.com?
Are there any Linux software packages to rip DVD's?
How come when I read Russian inflatable spacecraft I think of something like this.
yep, now thanks to windows even my grandma know how to ctrl-alt-delete!
Dreamcast $50 ...
Broadband Adaptor for a Sega Dreamcast $80-100 ...
I think I will get a xbox
They already have this! It is great you just pay your fee and watch live. You can even call em up and tell em what you want ... er ... nevermind ... I was think of porn.
