It's the same here in the Netherlands. Around June 21 twilight lasts past 22:45 and around 04:30 you'll see the eastern sky turn red again.
Not to mention the fact that the Central European Timezone runs from the Poland - Belarus border (~23 degrees east) to the western most tip of Spain (~9 degrees west), which is further west than Great Britain.
We had it somewhat solved prior to world war two. The Netherlands had its own GMT +00:20 timezone which went quite well with the fact that Amsterdam is about five degrees east of Greenwich.
It seems the linked page focusses on information for people who want to shoot photos for ads and similar things. Although I'm sure they'll also apply it to a trainspotter shooting some photos.
I've shot plenty of train pictures in various European countries and so far I've only experienced problems in Marseille this summer. I was asked to stop taking pictures by a gentleman with a somewhat official suit and a walkie-talkie. My lack of French at that point made it smarter to follow the instructions rather than ask him what the exact problems were. In both Germany and Switzerland no one even came to ask what I was doing while taking pictures. Especially Switzerland with all the different railroads and rolling stock is a country where you might end up with a small group of people all shooting the same trains.
It may be able to reach 350 km/h but in the ordinary time table ICE3s don't go past 300 km/h (186 mph) and only on lines built for it (Hannover - Berlin, Koeln - Frankfurt, Hannover - Wuerzburg/Fulda, Stuttgart/Karlsruhe - Mannheim). On regular track it reaches speeds up to 200 km/h.
If there's no thermal support the fans will simply run at full speed all the time. So a 32-bit Debian on a G5 will run without problems. I tested the Ubuntu Warty Live CD on my G5 and it worked flawlessly.
The 2.6.10 kernel should add support for the fans in the G5s and allow them to run slower when the load is less.
I think there's a market for payware browsers. I myself paid for Omniweb, which is by far the best OS X browser. It uses the same core as Safari, Apple's Webcore, but has a much richer interface and a lot more options.
I think developers will have to look for advanced users who will want more features and more control than the default "Free" browsers, but don't want to download numerous extensions.
There's only 1 Mallard. It's the name of the LNER class A4 steam engine that reached 126 mph near Granthem, England in 1938. It currently resides in the Railway museum in York. More information here
One could argue that Microsoft uses their monopoly position to strongly urge the OEMs not to include Real software. This would certainly be a violation of the settlement.
It seems that Microsoft is still pulling the strings when OEMs need to decide what software to include with their computers. That's not a good thing.
The Eschede accident was on a regular piece of track which was upgraded to 200 km/h. The train left the 280 km/h track south of Hannover. Between Hannover and Hamburg there's no 280 km/h track.
I already pay taxes on both "real" and electronic goods purchased in the US. The taxes on "real" items are simply charged when the product ordered in the US enters the country. The postal service will deliver it and charge me both VAT (19%) and import. When I buy electronic goods I fill in my credit card billing address and the database will calculate the appropriate VAT. This is in place for all EU countries. They could simply link the billing address to a state and make 48 entries with state salestax. It's not full-proof, but how many people will get a credit card in a state without salestax to avoid this?
The US has an abundance of natural resources. It has lots of trees, minerals, fertile soil and water. Granted all those resources are being abused but there is enough left to last for at least another generation if not two. If we cut back even a little on consumption they might last for decades. Most of the rest of world has already eaten through it's natural resources and will be buying them from us for a long time.
Except for that one thing on which the US economy floats: oil.
Right now the US uses about 20-25% of the world's oil. All those trees are nice but you can't drive your car on it. The Alaskan field might bring relief to the US market, if environmental problems can be averted and the oil turns out to be as easy to use as the oil from the Gulf area.
* A new video card, if you're still using onboard video. A Radeaon 9200 PCI [compusa.com] is $80 from Compusa and probably be several orders faster than the onboard Rage Pro chip.
Don't get that Video card. Macs need video cards with Mac compatible ROM. Since there's no Mac edition Radeon 9200 it will most likely never work. If you get a PCI card, get either a original PCI Radeon, or a Radeon 7000 PCI (get the Mac edition). Flashing some cards is possible, but be careful.
Because the guy had access to a pre-release G5 and ran his own tests. Just like Tom's Hardware and AnandTech run their own tests. He just works at NASA and had access to a G5. Besides, NASA isn't a computer benchmark website. I doubt he would be allowed to put it there since it has nothing to do with his work.

If you use gamma, you should also be using the Greek alphabet. Gamma is the 3rd letter in the Greek alphabet. So after a&b (alpha and beta) it's a logical name.
Before filing the suit, the R.I.A.A. alerted University officials, who contacted Peng, who then removed the site, University spokeswoman Lauren Robinson-Brown â(TM)85 said. She noted that Princeton receives about 150 copyright infringement complaints per academic year, and students are usually âoefully cooperativeâ when told of their violations.
Except in this case it had nothing to do with copyright infringement. It was something totally different. I guess search engines are no longer allowed at Princeton. When will this site be pulled?
BeOS existed for the 603 and 604 PPC CPUs, but when Apple switched to the G3/G4 and Steve Jobs didn't allow Be to switch their OS to these new CPUs, Be OS will not run on any G3/G4 Mac, which is rather lame, because it really rocked back in 1997 when I used the Preview 1 release on a 604e Mac.
When I can pay $1 for an Ogg file (or even MP3), I'll be happy to do so (even from Microsoft). It's simple, and it's amazing nobody gets it: cut the DRM crap, and people will pay for the convenience and legitimacy.
It's impossible to stop P2P, but P2P is very inconvenient, and people would rather not infringe copyrights. But DRM is much, much more inconvenient, and it shows the company's greed and mistrust of its customers. DRM does nothing to stop copyright infringement, and everything to curtail fair use. Fair use and convenience are one and the same, and and convenience sells.
You got to be kidding. DRM is needed, otherwise people will copy it. If they can choose between $1/song at a service and $0/song of P2P they'll choose the latter. People have gotten used to the idea that software and music are "free". Some of my friends call me crazy that I'm willing to pay $270 for a student license of Macromedia Studio MX. Software and music piracy will never go away.

Toast 6.07 (a free update from Toast 6) added support for DVD-DL. Too bad I got a LG drive in my G5 and not a Pioneer 108.
They're both dying?

The PowerBooks are 1 inch thick. These 'laptops' are 1.7 to 2 inches thick. That's not really comparable.
It's okay, but they've got an error in their writing.
.6m x 2 = 0.12m
6cm != 0.6m but 2x6cm == 0.12m
Anyway, the measured distance between the melted points from my sample was 6cm.
Thus: the wavelength is
They used the correct value to work with, but the way to got that value is wrong.

Because you already programmed your remotes. That took them two days.
A 500 square meter area got an average rainfall of 3cm
500 * 100 = 50000 square cm
That's a nasty error there. 1 m == 100 cm. 1 m^2 == 10.000 cm^2 (100 cm x 100 cm == 10.000 cm^2)
Your 500 m^2 is 500 * 10.000 == 5.000.000 cm^2
