Anybody who has seen a piece of straw pushed through a tree or other tornado damage wouldn't be a bit surprised by the damage a bit of foam travelling at 500mph would do. I'm surprised the engineers could have missed this. They should know this kind of thing cold.
"...He calls the war in Iraq an oil grab. "It just sickens me."..."
Theo's too smart to believe that. Probably quoted out of context.
On the grant in general, I think that it's great. Cash, equipment or beer it's all the same, keeps the coders coding. As long as the donator and donatee agree on the conditions or lack thereof, of the contributions, go for it.
Would you complain if M$ provided a grant to OpenBSD?

is that the kid will outgrow it in a year and dad will have to think up a new project, maybe a bigger tank or an airplane. "But honey, it's for the kid!"
There are some scientists worred about bringing samples directly from Mars to Earth. Fears of some unknown contamination. A moon base would be a perfect place to return from a Mars trip with samples. Keeps Earth isolated from possible contaminants.
Is there an english translation of this anywhere? I read the paper and there's lots of impressive looking formula's and stuff in there but I don't see how figuring out how long it takes to decrypt/encrypt something can tell you what it is. Doesn't make sense to me.
I am not a programmer and I don't play one on the internet.
I recently read that bsd.rd is the bare bones ramdisk enabled bsd kernel, cdromxx.fs and floppyxx.fs are basically boot images with selected sets of drivers and bsd.rd.
Building my own might should good to you programmers or others with coding skills. But I'm guessing it would take me years to get to the point of being able to do that. I have my "Learn C in 21 Lessons" book but I think that'll just make me dangerous.
Or maybe I just don't know what's involved in building my own? Hmmm...there's an idea, is there something that tells me how to build my own?

Rather than bail out completely I'd like to see them become part of the OpenBSD project and provide a slimmed down OpenBSD option. It was extremely promising to have OpenBSD features on a device with only a minimal RAM disk.
It was poor judgement to replace the copyright info. It's good they've fessed up. The idea of a microbsd is still a good one.
Would it be possible/practical to somehow gather the images from thousands of these cameras and analyze them for asteroids? Sort of like Setiathome but using images instead of rf. One of the problems in finding asteroids approacing earth is that the number of telescopes looking is pretty small. If the images of thousands of amateur stargazers were able to be compared it might be possible to detect asteroids earlier and maybe a bunch of other neat stuff. I can see that there would be alot of information needed to be able to know where the camera was etc when the image was taken so comparisons could be done but that shouldn't be insurmountable. Difficult but not impossible.

The first review article claims the superdrive is slow at burning Cd's and had problems with DVD-RW. Anybody else had that experience?

I think the show is as good as ever. The new guy is fitting in pretty good and Daniel gets to pop back in now and then.
