Personally, I was brought up on old style charts and found them quite useful. Having followed a number of outdoor activities such as sailing, hiking and now MTBing, weather was always of extreme practical interest.
The problem is that the newer charts are good, but almost to realistic leading you to think that a rain storm will cross overhead at 15:00. Even now weather is about probabilities and too much precision can be misleading.
The only good thing about the format is that it does mix well with some sat pictures, well until they resized Scotland.
This 'dumbed-down' format is quite popular elsewhere. However many of us still like our isobars, and feel that the fancy graphics is displaing real information.
This is one of the most basic cluster services in OpenVMS. It is fast and scaleable (I use the present tense as there are still some big installations knocking around). The main thing about it is the way it allowed you to keep buffer caches synchronised across a cluster. The I/O system underneth RdB was actually part of Digital's CODASYL product, DBMS-32 which had been clustered quite happily over twenty years ago so it was well proven.
To be fair, this is probably why Oracle had trouble using Digital's technology as Oracle needed to be platform independent and not many platforms support the multiple functions of DLM in such an elegant way.
Digital did this over ten years ago. One of the things that Oracle inherited when they bought RdB from Digital was the cluster support. However it seems they tool a long time to get the technology into their own RDMS.
It is usually the company officers (i.e., the board) who have the duty to show the company's affairs are conducted legally. The defense b efore was "We didn't know", know with Sarbanes-Oxley, a board-member no longer has that excuse.
Mirror and split is the technqiue then. You mirror your array to a hot swappable drive and then split the mirror and remove the copy drive and store it somewhere safe. In this why power glitches are unlikely to kill you and your only vunlerabilty to user or OS error is during the mirroring process.
Planes fly rather differently at altitude. I'm impressed that he has been able to do anything up there where other craft start having to use elaborate control systems because of the thin air.
OTOH, he seems to have had some problems with navigation and obstacles (i.e., the mountain in the way), but I can't see how he can deal with that without using something like EGPWS. Standard GPWS (ground proximity warning systems) use radar and the power needs would be far to high. EGPWS extends this with a digital ground model and a GPS. He has the GPS, but whether he could make and store an model with terrain elevation would be an interesting question.
Yes, but the atmosphere is full of crap, welll technically particles that will scatter and diffuse the beam. I have looked back at a sub 5mw laser pointer from 200m and it is just a bright dot. It doesn't even screw your night vision.
How many mW? Normal pointers are >5mW, a bright star if that at a few clicks away (if it could even be aimed propery). Your HeNe was probably around 20mW or better. The 200mW green monsters that have been talked about here before would be scary close up, but again they aren't going to do much at that range.
Ironically, the higher power green monsters are promoted as sky pointers (visible beam and so on) for astronomy education.
Actually the problem was down to the RSA algotithm being disclosed in Europe before any attemp was made to patent it. Regrettably, earlier versions of PGP used the IDEA algorithm (developed in Switzerland and patented by ASCOM in various European countries) for symmetric cryptography. Some EU countries at the time allowed software related patents and some didn't. ASCOM themselves permitted non-commercial use of IDEA but didn't permit commercial use. Later, it was established that algotithms were definitely unpatentable across the EU but IDEA had already been replaced and new asymmetric algorithms were chosen.
It really is the five minutes that makes all the difference. Actually modern laptops are smaller/lighter but even briefcases get stolen. Unfortunately it seems that the best line of defense is to have a bag that doesn't look like it holds a laptop.
It is simple status inquiry and it was used as a documented attack on a PIN. Of course authenticating a PIN takes time, so it still takes many hours of work however using an "Identify" request doesn;t seem to be counted. Here is one link that I found about it.
You also need to remember that a fancy disk drive would be very expensive. The Brits don't have that kind of money for specialised equipment. I have heard of devices that go into the PCMCIA slot that will hold a key in a tamper resistant module. If the driver exposes the standard Win Crypto API, then it would even be possible to integrate it easily.
Then your laptop goes through security. You may get held up by the search and your latop sits there waiting to be taken. This has happened a few times at airports even though you would think the security area was crawling with personnel and videoed.
I'm still trying to work out how a hard drive can be instantly trashed electronically. Even a single-pass low-level format can take a long time. My guess is an encrypted partition which relies on a key held in a PCMCIA dongle.
The call-home program exists commercially and allows a machine to register its presence with a remote control.
The earth's atmosphere isn't an infinite sink. It has already been demonstrated that man has a measurable effect ghence the CFC restrictions.
There are a lot of things that have happened to the earth in the past that don't seem to effect things in the long run, after all we are here. OTOH, how most of us are to survive a major climatic flip-flop isn't exactly clear. In any case, significan atmospheric changes can happen much quicker than 10,000 years. Changes can happen in as short as 50.
Many people have theorised that some serious weather disturbances are due to CO2 build-up. These people do not represent any single interest group and they are extremely worried. They aren't just looking at the 2003 data, they are going back over time. The buildup of CO2 is noticeable worldwide since the advent of the industrial age, more so since the advent of the internal combustion engine. The speed of change is unique.
There is a fairly high-key campaign going on in Germany run by the distributors. Of course, the joke is that most people are getting English language versions which are on limited distribution if at all. I have even seen posters up in the IT department of a large German bank!
Cambridge has a source license for XP and is very closely associated with a Microsoft research lab nearby. They did the port but unless you are a) an academic and b) also a source licensee, you won't get the source patches and don't have a hope in hell of getting the binary.

ROBOCOPY is or was part of the resource kit for 2000, I don't know about XP though.

Wait - that wouldn't be the AE-35 unit would it Yes, that was the AE-35 but there was a computer problem with some conflicting commands.

Do not aint with laser, use ground to air missle target acquisition radar instead to illuminate. Press trigger, launch missle and problem solved.

Not quite true. Certain actions use a PIN but aren't counted by the locking mechanism.
I would love to see Bill's reaction when he gets one of those.
