(there are also chemical reactions which generate only H2, however these require something else to be added to the water... like aluminumm, which forms aluminum oxide and H2.)
You can simply mix an acid (in an aqueous solution) with metal to form H2 and a salt:
M + 2HA(aq) -> H2 + AM
360 is not arbitrary. It was chosen because of its high divisibility, like I said. Read Knuth, or see Babylonian numerals. 360's prime factorization is 2*2*3*5. 400's prime factorization is the much less useful 2*2*2*2*5*5. In fact, 400 is about as bad as 10 - which only factors into 2 and 5. Fifths are not as often used as thirds!
360 divides evenly into 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 40, 45, 60, 72, 90, 120, and 180. The Babylonians had base 360 for a reason.
How convenient of you to omit the most pungent statement of the grandparent:
I'm sure you've heard the joke--Why are you all on the floor? Someone pulled out the network cable and we're looking for the token. Anyway network topology that relies on peers to propagate a piece of information to its neighbour is doomed to failure.
This is why is a failure. Not because of its speeds (4 Mbps, 6 Mbps, 100 Mbps).
Hellish? if (have_token) { send_packet; }
This is not all required to implement Token Ring. You conveniently omitted the token passing.
Is there anything morally wrong with downloading an esoteric release of Reloaded online? I went to the movies, paid my money, contributing to the $44 billion or so profit of Warner Brothers. I don't feel guilty downloading a crappy quality VCD to notice all the details and things I missed. (But I did notice the terminal with ssh and nmap on it).
as for resuming, lets say i got half a file from kazza, i can rename it and resume it from dc++
not possible with bt
Not possible with eDonkey as I understand it.
The best P2P programs don't download blocks sequentially, but in random order (avoiding the last block distribution problem). BT and ed2k are among these, and its the reason why you can't resume from foreign programs. No big deal.
Why doesn't DirectX v7 (presumably you are referring to the DirectPlay NetCode) NAT properly? I found some answers on DXport, which claims to be able to force DX7 and 8 games to work with NATs. Seems the protocol isn't that broken with regards to NATing.
Why must certain types of ICMP be allowed? Is "port unreachable" really necessary, or can connections to unreachable ports simply time out? Echo certainly isn't necessary. As for FTP, passive mode is preferred as it allows connections to be initiated by the client rather than the server (or maybe the other way around, I'm tired, and its late), so I fail to see how its relevant.
If you own a business and run a proxy server, please do not deny any users. You are doing a disservice to the Internet community by doing so, we already have a big enough problem with SMTP spam.
Is cat EVER useful except in rare circumstances or with programs that naively accept one filename only? The page said "The purpose of cat is to concatenate (or "catenate") files. If it's only one file, concatenating it with nothing at all is a waste of time, and costs you a process. " Well, sort is kind enough to accept any number of filenames, so you don't need to concatenate -- sort will do it for you, in one less process.
Care to provide a specific example of an individual Slashdotter that loaths the MPAA but loves The Matrix? Or are you just going to provide exaggerated stereotyping generalizations?
Slashdot is not one person. Slashdot is a community of people. With different opinions. Some who watched The Matrix. Some who didn't. Some who are vocal about the MPAA and RIAA. Calling a group of unique people hypocritical is futile.
Again, I'd like some specific examples. Please don't reply without providing specific examples. That's all I want. Thank you.
I've heard of entire crops being decimated because all of the plants had the same DNA & thus, they were all vulnerable to the same plant disease.... be a shame if the same happened to animals, but at least they have an active immune system that could adapt.
For the record, this is what happened in the Irish Potato Famine of 1845-50. All the potatoes came were imported from only a couple plants brought over by the first settlers, and lack of genetic diversity caused what is called a monocrop to be formed.

I think you missed the joke. Hydroxilic acid is the systematic acid name of water.

In other news, BXXP and BEEP protocols have replaced HTTP. Search Slashdot for details.
HTTP isn't going anywhere.
As opposed to the <insert other body part here> of the Earth?
What is the second wrong? I watched Matrix Reloaded on the big screen (right), and downloaded a VCD afterwords (arguably wrong). What else?
Nothing wrong at all.
Time progresses.

Are you from the RIAA/MPAA?
You don't have it call it a P2P application "in the typical file sharing sense". But it definitely is a P2P application, no denying it.

No.
