Man, I wish I lived there! Their speed comparisions implies the download speed is 2Mbps (about 4x a 512Kbps line)! And the pricing is great - either 15 or 25 pounds/month! That's about 25 or 40 USD/month! Sweet.
ALL numbers up to 10,000 become palindromes very quickly... except for the number 196?
By definition the numbers 691, 887, 788, 1675, 5761, 7436, and 6347 must also have the same problem, since they're in the chain following 196.
196 + 691 = 887
887 + 788 = 1675
1675 + 5761 = 7436
7436 + 6347 = 13783
It seems you are making an assumption, that the only way to "block" gravity is by creating an equal force from the opposite direction. Certainly that's one way, probably not the best way since you then have the problem of how to keep the 2 gravity sources apart, as you state.
But consider another option. Since gravity is essentially the curvature of space and gravity sources (mass) distort space, uh..."inward" (I'm sure there is a better term for it), a effective anti-gravity device only needs to distort space "outward". So instead of attracting other matter, it will repel other matter. To produce levitation, you would only need to create a repulsive force equal to the levitating object's gravitational pull.
The article does not claim that spamming doesn't work. The article says that if you put a lot of recipients on the TO: (or CC:) line, then your chances of getting a good reply (or replies) goes down. If you send the same email to everyone individually (TO: each person individually) then your chances of getting a good response are higher, since each person thinks they are the only one getting your email and won't assume "someone else" will answer.
The article's conclusion is painfully obvious and anyone who didn't realize that already shouldn't be sending email...it also has nothing to do with spam, since spam never has multiple people on copy. All the spam I've ever got is BCC'd to me, or TO/CC'd to just me.
And as I said, they don't have surge protectors either. That's absolutely a true fact, as there is no need for surge protection due to the high reliability of electric power.
You've already proven that electricity isn't reliable. Prove to me how you don't depend on it.
Since you still don't seem to understand that dependable and reliable are synonyms, or maybe you don't know what synonym means, I think I'll just leave this pointless conversation with links to the definitions of the words.
I mean yeah, you could have everyone buy a UPS or generator with their computer, but I doubt that'll happen.
Right, I'll bet barely any businesses (and certainly no end users!) have UPSes. Except for me, of course, I'm just wierd. But nobody else. And I know for a fact that nobody uses surge protectors, ever. Yeah. That'd just be silly, seeing as how electric power is so reliable that it never surges or anything.
Oh, I see. So as long as I have the software equivalent of a UPS (with surge protection and circuit isolation), and don't live in California, and don't use any application that requires the software equivalent of 220V (assuming my Windoze version is the 120V version), then Windoze will be quite reliable...oh, and no (software version of) a storm, we can't have that.
Not the best comparison there...since electricity is actually a quite unreliable source, without hardware to make it reliable (UPS). And it's simply not reliable in CA (and many other places in the world outside the US!).
Six months ago, I sent a call-to-action to Microsoft's 50,000 employees, outlining what I believe is the highest priority for the company and for our industry over the next decade: building a Trustworthy Computing environment for customers that is as reliable as the electricity that powers our homes and businesses today.
Well that's reassuring! I think the general population of California would like for computers to be a bit more reliable that their electric grid!
And even if you're not in CA, electric power is notoriously unreliable. Brownouts, power outages, power spikes, 120V vs. 220V, etc. Is Bill trying to tell us that Windows will never be reliable at all?

You need to have cookies (groups.yahoo.com cookies at least) enabled.
The SSH protocol was created by ssh.com, and in the past they have tried to stop openSSH from using the SSH name (see here and here and here).
The SSH product from ssh.com was created before any SSH standard existed, and its protocols became the defacto way to communicate securely. It was (and according to the license agreement, still is) available for free (as in beer) for non-commercial and educational use. It's available at their ftp site or a mirror.
If you want a "industry proven and supported" product that supports SSH protocols, then the original SSH is what you want, but you'll (obviously) have to pay.
...waits a random length of time, and retransmits. This happens (I believe) at a lower-than-protocol level.
It does wait a random amount of time, but if another collision is detected then the wait time doubles, and the process continues. It's called exponential backoff.
And ethernet protocol (the "physical layer" protocol, in OSI or TCP/IP language) is called Manchester encoding. It places 0-to-1 or 1-to-0 transition in every bit, so it's always possible to sync up even in long periods of identical bits.
I don't see too many people giving up money because of the statement on the bills and coins.
You know, if every dollar bill had, in huge boldface type across both sides of the bill, the words "YOUR MOTHER IS A BITCH", I wouldn't like it, but I'd sure as hell still be using that money.
It's the same, obviously, with "In God We Trust". Those who don't believe in (the Christian) God don't like it, but of COURSE we're still going to use the bills.
The argument that people still use money so they must not be offended by "In God We Trust" is useful to those who can't come up with a REAL reason that it should be on bills or coins.
I ususally think of modchip.com. They've got a good selection.

DNS was never meant to be twisted into what it's being used for today.
No, it wasn't. But there's a long history of this type of thing. Social Security Numbers were not originally intended to be used as tracking numbers for every citizen of the United States. Driver's Licenses were not originally intended to be used as identification cards for every citizen in the United States.
To make it worse, pretty soon the United State's Social Security funds will run out and the only use for Social Security Numbers will be to track people. They'll no longer have their original "legitimate" use. And, it looks like the government is going to change the Driver's License into a national ID card (due to Sept 11).
The problem is that creating something else to fill those needs (the US govt's needs, that is) would be very expensive; and since there already is a solution in place, why not just use it?
The issue with DNS is not whether it's technically capable of filling the need - that is, the need of the large corporations (which are essentially in political power via their lobbyists and contributions) to enforce their "intellectual property" over the internet. DNS is quite capable of filling this need. The issue is whether this is a legitimate need that should be filled. Those whose interests it serves (those with IP) think it should be. Those whose interests it harms (the general population) are against it (if they are informed of the issue). The corporations (who have the power) are most likely going to win.
Of course that's local to me (Raleigh, NC). But any library in my county (Wake) could borrow that book (from a library in-county that stocked it), and I believe most other NC counties can request loans also. The University library system absolutely can loan books around to any of the University of North Carolina schools (UNC-A, ASU, UNC-CH, NCSU, etc.).
You may never have searched for a book that your library district didn't carry
Ok I'll bite. Name one book (that isn't in either of the 2 categories I listed) that isn't available at any of your local libraries (public and school).
What exactly is wrong with decently-sized? Or are you again "yanking [my] chain"(sic)?
I know what is available at local libraries. The internet has more. Much more.
If it's not on the shelf or in stock but checked out at your local library, ask the clerk. It very likely is stocked at a nearby library and they can have it loaned for you to check out. If no nearby libraries have it, they might buy it. However if no nearby library has the book, then it's probably in one of the 2 categories I listed in my first email. Not always, of course, but hardly a majority of the time.
I just get a completely different feeling when I step into a used bookstore.
I can buy that. Used bookstores can have a different atmosphere to them than the library. But if the feeling of the store it what draws you, why would you ever buy a used book online (that is after all what this whole thing's about...)?

so what's wrong with the library? Don't they have used books?
