It is always amazing that given the incentive, science always finds a way to work through the requirements if the application is worth working on.
It is also amazing that we make them work through the requirements at all. It would also be amazing what they could have done if their work had not been bureaucraticly retarded for how many years now? At least they did manage to do it. Give thanks.
Here is a thought, I don't know if it will work for you or not but worth a look anyhow.
Grab a couple of iPaq's on ebay. Used or last years models and reload them with OPIE or GPE and off you go. Cost you little, get a lot, support the penguin.
I'm glad to see Croatia doing well afer the Yugo breakup in '91. Choosing Open Source leads me to think that the folks in charge there are awake and looking to keep things efficent and Open. Open Source, Open Society.
ps... if he people in Croatia have any extra politicians available I would like to borrow 1 or 2 (dozen) for a few years. Rent or lease options possible.
But more importantly do it keep a copy in Open Document Format ODF? Does is scan the contents and insert relevent ads, and will the DoJ subpeona them at a later date.
Ummm. I don't think you have to worry about them being wet or dry. The article said sub-zero. The air will have 0 humidity. As for the cold I don't think it will be that much of a problem to keep them above freezing and they *should* work just fine. Since they generate their own heat use that to your advantage by restricting airflow from the PSU fan and plug up the additional fan ports then grab a can of glue and glue some insulating foam on the sides of the metal case. The foam is cheap 5 bucks at a home improvment store for a 4 foot bt 8 foot piece.
As long at the machine is on it should keep it's self warm enough and the isulation will keep the heat in and not warming your freezer. For further warmth just run folding@home on a P4.
Just a thought... With Windows security being what it is, how long will it be before a malware author or spamhouse coder get their stuff installed as trusted code. Then things really will be hard to remove.
Second thought. This could be a good thing. After a while of malware being "trusted" will people and companies abandon the TCP program? I am not a big fan of the TCP concept and this outcome could be the answer to getting rid of it. Or not.
Nope, not even close. But if you have a small payload it mus be nice to have a low cost option instead of the shuttle.
It is also nice to see American business picking up the slack instead of using Russian refitted SLBM/ICBM's. Hurray for the little guys.
I have a feeling that in 10 years or so it will be economicly feasable to strip mine old landfills than to go mining for raw ore. Generational recycling and reclamation, if you will.
U3, huh. Why, when we have got Open Source goodness recompiled to run on flashdrives. ProtableApps.com. Fresh baked ClamWinAV Firefox OpenOffice Gimp Gaim and more.
I believe he may be snorting lines of PHP. I dunno, but it kinda looks like it. Look at how big this "first post" was, sumthin's up with that.

Since it's MS you know it will have to authenticate the key. That means it will have an Internet connection. Wich means it will get hacked.

Or worse Microsoft Direct Xr Millitary/Defense edition v1.0!
I think everyone here has got the wrong idea. When MS referes to "more secure" They are refering to their market position and their rights being secured away from the end user.
Ya know, this has got my attention. how about the following...
TelePerv.com - remote squeezeing of various body parts.
Since it can be digitized it can be stored and copied. Squeeze Vida Guerra's bum for only $4.95! Download now! Nah, I'll use SqueezeTorrent.com or eMule.
How could you sue a pervert Doctor that copped a feel while giving an ObGyn exam from a remote location. Like Hong Kong.
Or prevent him from coping that digitized sample and selling to med schools and online pr0n shops
Leakage from a good microwave should be approximately nil.
Operative word: should
With things like microwave ovens being cranked out en mass in china for damn near nothing, and even "Good" brand names outsourcing to the ssme factories that make trash, there is no way of knowing the leakage rate short of buying, testing, and returning it to store on failure. It is a total crapshoot. In short, the microwave over is just an example of hundreds of common sources of interference. WiFi is damn nice, but can be unreliable. Don't rely on the unreliable.
...and remember to put your microwave oven in an RF shielded cage. Hot coffee is not worth network downtime.
Also look into getting some anti radation / stealth wallpaper.
FTA "Now currently we have been able to make breast tissue, fat, muscle, pancreas tissue that secretes insulin and we have also created thymus tissue, which may have an application in immunology."
I think I just heard milions of strippers cry out in unison Do you accept credit cards?!?!! In addation to the end of bad boob jobs, there are around 150,000 mastectomies a year that can be rebuild afterward as well.
