Equator, since (a)the Earth is an oblate spheroid and the Equator is higher than the poles (b) slingshot effect wouldn't apply at the poles.

You don't need to tether the end, you can still get some very healthy benefits with a partial elevator. Deals with a lot of the security issues too. Cargo craft only need to fly to the low end and ride the rotation to the top where they can slingshot off. Using the Earth's magnetic field and solar power means it's self-stabilising too.

Free David Brin Short Story
Mutation-proof antibiotics derived from insect peptides are showing very promising progress. They're apparently unique to each insect species, meaning there's a huge range to work with and the level at which they attack bacteria means that defensive mutation would require hundreds of genes to act in concert, compared to the normal one or two required for resistance to enzyme blocking antibiotics.
The ambiguity of text without intonation strikes again. I was just suggesting that it could be a PEBKAC error rather than anything wrong with the software. Not really a comment on Caldera at all. I will say that OpenUNIX seems to be fairly reliable compared to Open Deathtrap or Uselessware, as earlier products are affectionately known in these parts.
IBM with AIX and Caldera with OpenUNIX are pursuing a linux compatibility layer strategy, which should allow Linux binaries to work out-of-the-box. I've not had the greatest success with OpenUNIX, but that doesn't necessarily reflect on Caldera. I guess you'll be buying support and hardware specific tuning (in AIX's case) while taking advantage of the masses of development done on and for Linux systems.
There was a David Fincher style impossible tracking shot through an engine. Possibly some overlay work to allow stunts involving the principals to actually be stationary while appearing to be at high speed. Maybe some tidying up of expensive, destructive set-pieces to edit out the stunt equipment (ramps, air cannons, etc.)
Both Peekabooty and Triangle Boy promised a distributed solution to this kind of Net censorship, but Peekabooty doesn't look like it's ready for prime time and Safeweb appear to have shut down the project (dead link to "project with Voice of America"). Is there a viable project that I can install that will do the same anti-censorship job?
1939 methinks. I don't remember the allied powers doing much to stop the German involvement in Spain and that was about it for German military action that year.
Of course, 1939 is only when the war started for countries that hadn't finished selling military technology to the fascists yet....

This site has been pushing the same "save the flashy stuff for art, make your store usable *first*" message for a long time.
I still see mystery meat all the time though...
they lose the markup on the hard-drive. If you got a larger capacity Tivo from a retailer you'd be paying over the odds for the internal drive. That's money Tivo won't see for your two boxes.
$5m for renting people music rather than paying magazines, radio and tv stations to promote it? Doesn't sound like a total wash. Looks like they're paying the artists approximately fuck all out of that, so isn't this pretty much gravy?
Exactly what "personal investment" does the RIAA bring to the party? Given how much their members have stolen and continue to steal from artists, the only ringing true I hear is my hypocrisy alarm.
You want the Sigma Designs Hollywood plus
Shaky drivers, can't handle shared IRQs at all, but very nice performance once it's set up properly. It was the only affordable option I found after quite a lot of searching. I got mine on ebay for $30. Makes watching buffy season 3 a lot nicer than FX;-)
Aren't they breaching an implicit contract? I signed up on the understanding they wouldn't give my snail mail/phone to outside parties. Surely they can't retroactively change that agreement. If they can, doesn't that equally defeat the little tick boxes on subscriptions, mail-order clubs, etc?
Anyone care to comment on the US legality of signing people up to snail mail, telemarketing lists after they've explicitly opted out?
Seems very dubious to me.
read the article, massive redundancy in that you have to take 8 of 13 down before you really cause havoc. looks like the single A can be mirrored from any of the subs if it was toasted. since they're distributed geographically, it's not all doom and gloom

According to this article more companies are trying. I guess Yahoo's just burnt up this year's improvements though ;-)
...or terminate their (likely monopoly) service for breaching the TOS. For example, search for "run a server"
