Look, people, don't you remember when your mom told you to gargle salt water for that sore throat? That, and sea water is known to expedite healing of cuts you get on the surface. (To wit, you will find that exposure to this when you get, say, a coral scrape will make the problem worse.)
Point: salt water is a curative your mom used to give you. It's not new. Get with it.
Micro fuel cells may not be allowed on airplanes because the hydrogen-based devices use a highly flammable gas, while the methanol-based devices include an inflammable liquid.
That's an interesting observation, yet planes are routinely filled with highly flammable liquids that make them go.
I suppose it will be interesting as to how they implement a fully-insulated cell.
The only problem you're going to have there though is petroleum. They just don't care about this, they only care about the almighty US dollar and that nobody is interfering in any way with their income.
Never mind whatever heat there was involved with that (perhaps it was an exploded brick?), but if that was a meteorite indeed, would there be concerns for radiation?
The last time I signed up for a hotmail account, I was bombarded with spam (bombarded being operative) within 48 hours. The typical user either deletes or "unsubscribes" to the email, which possibly carries the standard penis-lengthening advertisement. Why would one want to venture into that territory at work in the first place?
Well said, but note that many if not all switch housen these days are digital. Despite that, you still can't seem to get better than 53K on a POTS line.
Everyone uses it, and now they wanna make us pay. I thought we established this was unenforceable bull$#|+ with the recent JPEG issues, and I haven't heard about Unisys in a while regarding GIF.
Hey, I already pay for a public radio station where I can, but these guys are commercial free and have been since they came on the air in 1981. If KPIG wants to do it as such, great, otherwise, screw them.
It's the same reason why I don't get cable: US$40-US$80 is far too much to be paying for a medium that rapid-fires commercials at me. If I want that, I know where I can find it.
Hmm... At the current exchange rate, that's roughly US$160.00 for the color version. Considering that cable TV where I live costs $40, I wouldn't mind paying closer to $12 per month - especially considering that said $40/mo gives me a lot of crap that I don't watch anyway. It costs more if I get digital.
Besides, I already pay to listen to public radio where I can, so why not?
According to the Post article, Target Wireless is the company marketing the political SMS ads.
Regretfully, there isn't a toll-free 800 number, but they have an "admin" mailbox and can be contacted at this address here. Note their page doesn't seem to have been updated since 2001. Have fun.
Perhaps this should be adjusted, IMHO. 1 slashdot could be the number of simultaneous HTTP requests that is needed to take down a machine, with a varying scale. This is variable though - some machines (remember our gamer table friend) can't withstand much activity before melting, others can take insane loads, run SETI, run a Quake server, recompile their code, process multiple MySQL requests, and execute endless loops in less than one second without so much as blinking. (Hey, I want that last box!)
Great, thanks to slashdot, I'm on the search for a defineable unit =/
This is true, but then that's the result of the act of slashdotting. The machine is brought to its knees, and slowly recovers. What I'm wondering though, is basically what would the unit "slashdot" be comprised of - perhaps base it on an average concentration of user per time unit? "Woah, flash crowd!" "Don't worry, it's just a few millislashdots, we can weather this."
I see several people here on the public transit system that are absolutely convinced that NASA is scanning their brainwaves anyway. What good is it going to do to prove them right?
Well said, sir, but I don't think your fears are much concern. For this to happen, it would require an act of congress - and while IANAL, I don't suspect this will survive when the first amendment is applied. Such an action will allow things that really are illegal, but you're right - we can't just block a site because we don't like what they have to say.
The solution is simple. All images should be sent to a secondary address (a receptacle, for the purpose of this), and this address is NOT public to anybody but those who are authorized to send attachments; accordingly, any attachments sent to the primary address just get bounced.

You realize you just said "Microsoft" and "Standard" in the same sentence. The two terms are self-contradictory....

Frankly, this should have the "Laugh. It's funny." foot attached to the article. But that's just me.

Probably better to avoid this, as Goldmine is prone to self-deleting anything from notes to entire records. YMMV....

There is no zero-G system on this. For $15k, I want one.
You're right in that switching at this point is a waste of resource, at any rate, but what a way to give them the finger! =)
Not necessarily. Any time I do init 1, unless I'm root to begin with, my machine prompts me for a password. (Running Mandrake 8.2; YMMV.)

Finally, a few viewers of Replay TV have the opportunity to tell Hollywood where to put their commercials!

But what would constitute a slashdot?
A few months ago, the Church of Scientology(TM)(C)(R) sued Google, among others, to remove Operation Clambake from their search listings.
Curious.
Just my $.02....
