I suspect large-scale leaks are going to be fairly common, and small-scale leaks unavoidable. There's any number of ways to lose material from your environment, from micrometorites to equipment breakdowns necessitating the dumping of waste outside.
From an increasingly large distance, no less. Once you deplete the regolith in the immediate area, you'll have to go out and get stuff from further away.
Oxygen on the moon is a non-renewable resource. You can harvest and conserv, but you can't really wait for it to grow back.
That's over the top. All you need to do is click on an XPI link to install the browser plugin? (See the parent's link. I wouldn't ask you to trust a direct XPI link found on Slashdot.)
Europe "ended" the plague hundreds of years ago with better hygene and food practices. Who's to say the same tactic won't work again, or isn't working now?
I've heard no end of good things about a Windows app called CoolEdit. But I don't run Windows...
On Debian:

Granted, not all of those are regular XML editors...
IME, it's very difficult to be equally skilled in both Apache and IIS. So the question is, who tuned your IIS setup, and who tuned your Apache setup?
A guy who only how to tune product X well is, of course, going to see a performance drop when he tries product Y unless X is rediculously poor by comparison.
Grab a SNES emulator and try some of the older FF games. If you can get past the fact that it's emulated and controller layout isn't what you'd expect (IE, using a keyboard instead of a hand-held, or a PS-lookalike USB controller instead of a SNES controller), the games are actually pretty good.
I liked FFIII and Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest, myself. But then, I also liked FFVIII more than FFVII.
Sadly, I haven't played much of any RPGs lately; I don't have Windows installed, so most PC-based RPGs are out of the question, and I don't have a place to set up the TV and console systems. And I wouldn't have the time to play them. Mostly, I get home, play through SolarWolf in 30 or so minutes, and go to bed.
A.22 or a.223? There's a big difference. Once of the hard drives we were shooting at stopped a.320 round cold. (It went in through the PCB, an aluminum layer, and expended the rest of its energy trying to get through three steel platters.) I doubt a.22 would have enough energy to get through, but the.223 rounds we shot frequently punched clean holes through, even at angles shallower than 45 degrees.
Desk Sergeant: Name. Mario: Mario. Desk Sergeant: Last name. Mario: Mario. Desk Sergeant: And you? Luigi: Luigi. Desk Sergeant: Luigi Luigi? Luigi: No, Luigi Mario. Desk Sergeant: Okay how many Marios are there between the two of you? Luigi: Three: Mario Mario and Luigi Mario.
It may not have been a hit, but I liked the movie.
You're definition of "valuable" needs expanding. Anything suitable for blackmail qualifies. Ever look at someone else's "Temporary Internet Files" folder? You'll probably find porn, among other things.
Or the "My Pictures" folder. Lots of family photos, possibly including nude pics you'll wish you never saw.
The results of our erasure techniques were varied. One drive managed not to get hit. Another drive, well, we found the platters (and read/write arms) ten feet away from most of the rest of the drive.
One of the drive's three platters were melted together where a 7.62mm round had gone through. That was interesting. Another drive survived a shotgun blast with little more than a bunch of dents on the metal surface.
One of the drive's had its neodymium magnets take a direct hit. They were turned into a highly magnetic powder that stuck to anything and everything metal.
Oracle bought PeopleSoft a while back, and I haven't yet heard of any resultant headaches at the college I attend and work at. (PeopleSoft+Oracle setup.)
But that may be because of those coupons PeopleSoft issued while trying to avoid the buyout; they gauranteed the same level of support for some period of time I don't recall. It sounds like Siebel is going willingly, so I doubt their customers will get the same protection.
All of the definitions of "malice" I've dug up involve intent to do harm. Bush appointing political supporters implies intentional favor to them, not intentional disfavor to the organizations they're appointed to.
I've been spoiled by GNU extensions to tools like grep and ls. Considering I spend most of my time in a command line (under a GNOME terminal, no less), I'd probably find myself frequently irritated.
That said, I have downloaded the FreesBIE LiveCD; I just haven't burned it yet.
It's more likely the intent of the appointments was to pay back political supporters rather than to cripple the organizations involved. Thus, no malice.
However, appointing incompetants is a sign of incompetence.

If you win in a suit against said asshat, you still get money. That's why they call it insurance.
Granted, it may be a bit harder to win, depending on if they provide for legal services to defend against the lawsuits.
That's what the chattr fixes. It makes writes synchronous. At least, on ext3. Don't know about other filesystems.

(Jon hears moaning on his headset.)
"Hey Bill!"
"Yah?"
"Do the logs show a woman entering the house today?"
"No. Why?"
"Er...no reason."
Zeroing the bits isn't always effective. As long as you're using Linux, try "shred /dev/hda".
However, it's easier to just erase specific files: "chattr +Ss rsa_key;shred rsa_key;rm rsa_key"
That makes writes to the file sychronous, shreds the data, and finally zeros the data as the file entry is removed from the filesystem.

The best way to destroy data on drives is to have fun in the process.
On labor day weekend, my friend's family and I went out and used old hard drives for target practice. I'll try to post pics soon.
Ever hear of a bicycle pump? Use it to pressurize a tank, and use the tank to provide a decent stream of air into the vortex.
If Oracle's smart, they'll provide a plug-in API and charge support for developers who want to use it.
The further software integration moves along, the greater the oppertunity for plugins as a cash cow.
