I'mt the OP. I don't disable history. I don't worry about server load either, because my proxy (I run ipcop on mini-ITX box) does the caching. The server doesn't get bombarded with multiple reloads, and the cache sniffing fails because the files aren't on the machine with the browser.
So you have a plane or other object coated in paint that absorbs radar energy. The absorbed energy has to go somewhere, so it shows up as heat. The object is now warm and visible to IR sensors.
I'm sure it wouldn't be that difficult to combine IR sensors with a radar array: if where you're aiming your radar transmitter is warming up, there's something there!
My company (130,000 people) outsourced it's hardware support to IBM. Just at my location, depending on severity, we've had response times of less than a half-hour (when our IBM 3174 failed to reboot after a power failure, cutting off half our building), to days (when a single monitor released it's magic smoke).
My workplace does. It runs the entire POS system on dozens of our stores (anywhere from a few to a few dozen tills.) About 7-8 years ago we switched it over from 3 pieces of IBM big iron to 2 Dell desktops running Warp. Cut our power bills, at least.:)
For a very simple reason - many businesses don't have internet email, but almost everybody has faxes. The pharmacy that I am the frontshop manager at does not have internet access at all, just it's own intranet. We simply cannot get email. (Head office people, of course, get whatever they want, including net access.)
Faxes are a huge part of our business - prescriptions are legal documents, we can only accept originals or copies faxed directly from doctor's offices (and for some drugs, even those are not allowed). Many doctor's offices also refuse to business by phone at all, but strictly by fax, simply so they, like us, can keep paper trails for everything. Without signatures or copies of signatures, we'd be up sh*t creek in case anything were to go wrong.
And no, *gp-signed email is not an answer. As a pharmacy, we are regulated by various provincial and federal agencies. They don't recognize a lot of stuff without hardcopy in the form of originals or faxes.

Fixed cache size of 0.
So you've been spending a lot of time playing with co... nevermind.
Google Calendar, of course!

Canadian Federal election, 2004. Paper ballots. 13.5 million votes. Less than 24 hours for results. It's not that hard.
Hm. Does this mean we can all look forward to 'ENLARGE YOUR DISK' spam?
I know IBM can do it, if they're paid enough.

Great! Now I can check to see if anything wierd is happening on my Win2K boxes. It does work on Win2K, right?

Bzzzt! Not quite - you mean the 6809. 6509 sounds like a bastard stepchild of that and the 6502.

If you like having a retractable tip, Staedtler made (makes?) one. I use a MarsMicro 770, 0.7mm lead; it also has a nice knurled metal grip.
Pretty much what I use... MarsMicro 770 0.7mm. Retractable tip, plus the textured metal grip makes this one very comfortable.
