That actually helps...With tighter regulations on, for example, using accurate contact info when getting a domain name, bulk-emailers will be reachable by phone and mail.

UPSs are great for keeping random noise out of your own mains circuits, but for low power BB transmittion over mains to work, you need it the noise kept out of the entire transmission medium right back to the substation (Or further if you are trying to transmit over the pylons), and as nice as that would be, its not really feasable, especially in industrial areas.
If there was enough economic incentive to either local government or to businesses with lobbying power, noise filters could be mandated for homes and businesses. But that's unlikely, what with traditional ISPs and broadband providers lobbying against it.
There is also the small matter that this can be expected to filter out the broadband signal as well (As its not likely to be a 60hz Square wave). which sort of defeats the object:-)
True. We once ran into a similar problem in our office. Some of our machines couldn't be put on UPSs because we needed to be able to power cycle them with X10 boxes.
Also, most UPSs will provide a stepped approximation of a sine wave. The really good ones will provide a true sine wave. I suppose if you needed to, you could put an inductor inline to smooth the steps out a bit.
You could spend a few thousand dollars on an enterprise-level UPS+line conditioner for your house. Better yet, call local manufacturing businesses, to see if they're planning on throwing any out. That's how we got ours.
Not only will you get exceptionally clean power to your outlets, you'll still have lights and a refridgerator when the power goes out for a while after a major wind or ice storm.
You'd see a huge spike in traffic accidents involving people who aren't skilled with a stick attempting to drive them the way they normally drive. (That being hard, fast, and fitting into all the little spaces in traffic.)
The people smart enough to know their limits would fork over the extra grand for a car they know how to drive, or they'd lease a car instead.
I doubt Ashcroft thinks he's lying. What would make more sense would be for him to have handed down an order to, "Give me a technical reason to say no."
Basically, why lie when you can ask someone to lie to you?
ff on linux is actually kind of painful to look at and sluggish to use still.
You should use the version with xft support, and make sure your font server supports anti-aliasing. After that, even FireFox under twm over 8-bit VNC looks better to me than FireFox on win32.
A simple solution does seem better. Either something that can be dismantled safely (considering the environment), or something that's disposable despite the high cost of getting materials there.
Of course, you could make it mobile instead. Every time it snows, just have it move its length forward or back; that'll keep it on top of the mess. And it'll be at ground-level.

Anyone have a link to the bill?
I want to know what they're using to qualify the performance of any given CPU...even people in the industry can't agree on that.
So, what's that in arc-seconds?

If it's maglev, then they probably have a super conductor!
:)
Otherwise, depending on their power needs, 6-gauge wire should work.
I recall the measurement being in tons...
Tons of virus material? Tons of infected tissue? Tons of sealed stainless-steel containers with samples of the agent inside?
Winners never quit.
Quitters never win.
But those than never quit and never win are stupid.

I've never heard of dirty JPEGs with the quality of print. But maybe that's just because I don't pay for online pr0n...
What about a patent for a mechanism? For example, John Browning's patents for his guns.
You may say you're patenting how to do something, but you're also effectively patenting the device itself.
Never heard of VST...is it anything like LADSPA, but for Windows?
IP over albatross probably has better width. As an additional plus, it has the wandering agent algorithm built in, for those that need it. :)
Sine wave is what i meant. Sorry.
;)

Here in Grand Rapids, MI, we usually get a lot of snow in the winter. Sure there will be accidents, but it doesn't approach epidemic proportions.
By comparison, look at Florida or Texas, where all the schools close if the ground turns white at all...

That doesn't mean people won't try...you'd be amazed at the stunts I've seen people pull on the road.

I don't see why you would read the text while windows are at odd angles. Personally, I'd use the rotation as a sort of minimization+icon view.
Basically, a way to be able to see changes on a window without the window taking up as much space as it normally does.
Why didn't they multicast? Wouldn't that have solved the bandwidth issues?

Quick! Toss it in the trash can where Chief is!
That argument could easily be proven in court. Which is where I expect this to end up.
Simply put, that has got to be the stupidest excuse I've ever heard of.

I don't think it's spelled the way you think it's spelled.
Turns out there's a virus for the GroupWise client that doesn't even require a preview pane. Haven't bothered to look it up, but it showed up at work.
