And, hopefully, by the time we're making enough to power spaceships, we'll be making it in space - not only is it safer, it will probably easier since there's a lot less matter around to cause problems.
Anti-protons (say) are just as real as protons and weigh the same. It's just that you have to be really careful because if an anti-proton meets a proton.... bang!
With 2000 and.Net server it is not installed by default.
When you first logon to a freshly installed server, you an app runs automaticcaly called something like "configure your server". From this you can choose to install DNS, IIS, etc. etc. etc. (there are a lot of options)
They'll have to ignore it completely - if they acknowledge its existance then there will be some expectation that when a game doesn't work on the emulator Microsoft will provide support.
MS are going to ensure the game works in the fixed X-Box environment; not in the infinetly variable PC environment.

As John Carmack pointed out in his notes to the release of the Quake II sourcecode, one major disadvantage of this would be the possibility of cheating in the multi-player game.
If you can't verify the validity of the client's code then the server and protocol have to be significantly better... ie. more difficult work for the company before release in a competitive market
Does anybody think less of id for releasing the source to Quake and Quake II ?
The Quake II source release posed the same set of problems to id, and they seem perfectly happy to do it and encourage the use of their code. Why would infogrames or the TA community be significantly different?
Because there's no guarantee the the 'attachment' will stay there.
If I want to archive the mail, I have to remember to retrieve the file, archive it, and somehow associate the link in the mail with the file's new location.
Most computer users use Microsoft Word. That is unfortunate for them, because Word is proprietary software, denying its users the freedom to study, change, copy, and redistribute it
Most Word users, I expect, want to write letters to their mothers, not recompile the application.

Apparently you something call a penning trap which does indeed use electromagnetic fields.
There's an older (1999) article on nasa's site with a bit more technical detail.
yes you can.

There is precedent though

Oops.
Is RTF a "wonderful new open source document format"
grafting MSWord into an email defeats the purpose of open-standards, and is yet another example of embrace-extend-extinguish
Microsoft isn't attaching word documents to emails, users are. Users don't want to E-E-E, they want to exchange information.

I reckon it will take 0.001 millenium. (3 sig.dig.)
You calculate 7002 years.
Fortunately I'm writing Duke Nukem Forever. So your calculation is correct.
Many Open Source applications don't come with binaries for windows.
I know I can compile the app, but my grandmother can't.
If there is a wonderful new open-source document format, it's still useless if (for idealogical reasons) the editor isn't available on Windows.

(can be in any units like hours, days, weeks, minutes)
It won't give the same answer though
I estimate 1 year : you calculate 9 years
I estimate 365 days : you calculate 737 days (2 years)
Harry Callahan: you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya punk?
The 1913 thing is a law.
Better explanation here
Something similar occured in 1998. Based on precedent, shouldn't this new request be handled rather quickly?
Just move them outside the box with their own power supply.
Seems a lot safer and easier than trying to 'fool' them.
