Yes, and almost all (if not all, by definition anyway) of our foreign embassies are not in the USA, yet they aren't any less ours. It's our baby, we can do with it what we want, when we want. Sorry, but that's the way it is.
Yup, 32 wires horizontally and 32 vertically, plus usually 1 or 2 wires for reading the data back. Must have been a PITA to install in a machine. I've never actually seen core memory in person, but have seen a few pictures of it. A bit of a trivia tidbit: An Wang, of Wang wordprocessor fame, apparently invented the stuff (or at least was first to patent it). Man we've come a long way.
It's a prototype for Christ's sake....it'll get smaller with time. You ever see a string of iron core memory? That stuff was big too, but it got smaller.
I guess I'm not following you...WAU already uses binary delta technology, has been for awhile. Also, if you want more control of WAU or your patching system in general, take a look at WSUS (free) or SMS (not free). With respect to security policies, you're free to change them to your liking....no need to take MS defaults...
While I have had my share of broken WU problems, I also know that some people are having nearly as tough a time fixing FF's as well. You don't even need to look outside the comments in this topic to find evidence of that. I personally haven't had to deal with FF's problems in that regard, so I can't vouch for how difficult it is to repair that functionality in comparison to WU. However, as I said, from other people's comments, it isn't sounding like it's a walk in the park either.
The new patching system is awesome. Binary diffs, so no downloading huge files, it downloads in the background so it doesn't disturb you, and installs when you restart firefox. It's amazingly convienient.
Yes, but would you have said the same thing if you had replaced the word firefox with the word windows in that sentence? I say that only because that's what WAU does these days, though I forget for how long it has been doing the binary diffs. I think that came along with the latest BITS update sometime in early summer this year, but can't be sure. Just FYI.
I can't remember the specifics, but I'm pretty sure the printer manufacturers (Lexmark again, I believe) have already lost the court case regarding using other ink cartridges in lexmark printers.
"They can't enforce the idea of limited accounts for regular use because too much legacy software would break."
Actually, they can, and they are. One of the new features of vista (provided it makes it in) is the ability to virtualize both registry settings and certain system folders. I can't remember if they are doing it on a per user account level or per application level, but in effect, legacy software gets its own copy of the registry and certain system files. There is a bit of a description of it here under the User Account Protection heading.
For that matter, why not simply heat the tank? Maybe they can't do it directly for fear of pressure build up/explosion, but I would think there would be some other solution....perhaps forcing warm/hot air over the tank while it is waiting to take off...I don't know, but I do know that dealing with a little ice prevention should hardly be the technological glitch holding the shuttle on the ground!
Actually, it doesn't contradict itself. It took me a couple of re-reads to realize it though. The two opposing companies are named Health Advocates and Healthcare Advocates. Though it isn't explicitly stated, I'm sure the original suit was over the similarity of the company names.
You have triple redundant storage of certain critical data. Write a subroutine that takes three 32 bit integers and produces a result where each bit is "voted on" by the corresponding bit in the three inputs
I think the best way to do this, given 3 bits A, B, and C, is:
I'm not confusing the two at all...strong flavor is not the problem...the problem is the flavor of it PERIOD:) I like beers with strong flavor, which I get a lot of through some local Vermont microbreweries. Lots of good local beer around here and relatively cheap too.
and what nasty crap that is too...dunno what the deal is, but every bar/restaurant/store around here have just recently been invaded by the shit. Must be some new sales rep or something. I don't know what anyone sees in that beer.../prefers Long Trail Ale...
Not only that, but whiteboards are worse on the eyes than chalkboards (As far as written text is concerned). I'm too lazy to google a support link, but I know the data for this is all over out there.
Wow man, I feel for you then. Sounds like you are just scraping by with equipment/etc out here. I'd say our school has something like 1500 students, and we are a blue collar area. We don't have much industry, but do have a lot of dairy farms. I just wish our local school administrators could see just how other schools have to manage.
Please, please tell me where you live/work that your school district only needs 2 million a year! I live out in the boonies with a small school and they bitch that 30 mil/year isn't enough! Or perhaps 2 mil was just the IT budget for the school?
It's kinda already there and it is called the Security Configuration and Analysis tool. Probably not quite as in depth as Bastille, but does a very similar thing. There are only a few built-in security templates, but you can build your own easy enough.
How would it "know" to put more energy in one direction and not in another?
Well, you say most of the energy is thermal energy. I would imagine that since there are 2 places for that energy to go (ie the rock or radiate in to space), that since a vacuum transfers heat rather poorly compared to rock, that the rock would be the recipient of more heat than if it were surrounded by air. Again, just a guess.
OK, I am totally guessing here and I'm sure I'm so far wrong it is funny, but I'll still say it anyway....
You point out that there wouldn't be any atmosphere. So, much less shockwave, since there isn't much there to carry it. However, the physical energy released by the bomb must go somewhere. Would it not be *more* focused on the asteroid, since it is the most available medium?
Please don't flame me too bad for this wild speculation:)

That, or turn off the speakers first :)

If there is a market for it, there will be at least 1 company selling refill-permitted cartridges. Won't be some big company, but someone.

Crap, that should read If A+B+C < 2, return 0, else return 1.

The replacement for MSPaint will most likely be Paint.Net a Washington State University project with MS support.

Damn, too bad I posted here or you'd get a +1 funny...so would the "fuzzy" comment above. Heh.
