Let's face it-- even if those documents contain information about state-of-the-art (at the time) US aircraft, it's somewhat unlikely that there's still a reason to keep them under wraps.
Unless, of course, development of that aircraft violated some important international treaty.
(Thinking back to a STTNG episode about the Federation developing a cloaking device despite an antiproliferation treaty between the Federation, the Klingons, and the Romulans.)
As far as politics and politicians go, things that damage reputations are the most eligible for classification and hiding. The most senior (read, "powerful") senators and representatives have been in office for over sixty years, and nearly every elected official has their reelection in mind.
By that logic, all documents currently classified should remain classified indefinately. Otherwise, statistical analysis of declassified data may reveal information about the techniques, tendencies and trends of the organization that ordered those documents classified.
For every percentage of OS marketshare above 60%, fine them 2.5% of their gross income. Let them work out how to reduce their market share to appropriate levels.
As a new power source, of course it's not very good! It'll get better, though.
After all, people didn't look at nuclear power in terms of how what the efficiency is. They looked at it from the perspective of how much was theoretically possible, and went from there.
Once they figure out the charactaristics of the sytem (i.e. what fluids work better and why, how long of a channel works produces the most voltage, the most current, etc.), they'll be able to engineer systems tailor-made to the needs of the device.
The only problem I can see is pressurizing the water and making maximum use of the storage media. A stiff pressurized container won't work well at all. Something like a strong, stretchy substance would be necessary, if you wanted a bladder. Otherwise, you might look at a cylinder with a spring forcing a surface against the water, to apply force. Of course, there are technical details to work out (like regulating the pressure of the fluid allowed outside the container), but it qualifies as a legitimate area of study and research.
Windows Server 2003 doesn't support the PXE binaries that all prior versions of Windows (for x86) do.
It's kinda sad, really. I expect they're still going to get bit by all the companies that rely on custom software to handle their operations.
On the other hand, portions of their Office suite have become sophisticated enough to serve as custom applications. Think of Access. And, to a lesser extent, Excel.

It's a point of interest on which events can be blamed. That's how the media works, after all.
That's exactly what he did. He used NPN transistors to simulate the pressing of the buttons on the controller.
.7V) potential across the transistors, but that's not bad.
Granted, it's not perfect. He's going to end up with a small (~.2 to
I'd like to see an analog controlled device with proximity sensors at -45, 0 and 45 degrees forward and back.
...to OSS racing games. :)
even though it would cost us next to nothing to let you download it again.
I see this all the time. Let me remind you, bandwidth ain't cheap. One user, no problem. Two users, no problem. Slashdot? Down goes the server.
Send it to California. Plenty of bags of heavy water out there...
No, no no.

KDE for Linux is much more widely known than KDE for any other kernel. Regardless of merits, that's the way it is.
(Not dissing anything...)
Well, the 2.6 kernel has a much better tuned scheduler. You'll see improvements.
You'd need a way to prevent the water from running through the membrane backwards, or you'll end up with a reverse current!
Probably something like a water loop where water is only allowed to flow one way...
It's not a method suited for power origination. It's more a means of converting previously stored energy.
As a new power source, of course it's not very good! It'll get better, though.

So what?
Last time they landed a story on Slashdot, there was only a link to a Word document. I think a link to a PDF file is an improvement...

Either that, or it reinforces the existing meaning.
Made of stackable switches, of course.
They don't care if you bathe or shave, so long as you telecommute.

Thank god for ssh.
If you'd kept up on current technology, you'd know that transistor stacking, and 3D lithography, has b een in the works for quite a while.
If you cut out porn, the majority of the Internet becomes email. :)
It could be a high-powered RAID array. But I don't know enough about such systems to estimate what kind of setup it would take.
The comment was posted on Slashdot, which is normally associated with Linux and Open Source.
(As if the word "hacker" didn't confuse people enough...)
Context and Guilt by Association. This is Slashdot. Slashdot is very much engrossed with Linux, the Linux community and Open Source.
You're nuts. And you're part of the reason magazines like Forbes are afraid of OSS and Linux.
