Actually, they have tried this same type of experiment in different forms. Of the two that I can remember, one occured in a special lab in the middle of a mountain in the Alps and the other occured in Japan. They have large numbers of large photodetectors along the walls of the tank which is filled with a liquid (usually a (heavy) water but I heard that one used clear detergent). It was experiments like this that actually proved that neutrinos exist.
This happened in Guam. Brown tree snakes were introduced and their reign of terror began. The native bird populations have dwindled while I cannot remember if any bird species have actually gone extinct yet due to the brown tree snake, many are threatened.
I remember a story (probably apochyrphal(sp)) about an early explorer who wrote in his journals how a curious dodo actually walked up to a boiling pot and climbed in. While probably not true, the dodo had no reason to fear the men since they had never had any predators before.
Still, I always wonder what to do when an endangered animal only eats endangered plants.
(http://www.waldenweb.com) OC3 to the apartment complex and 100baseT to each apartment. Many LAN parties and gamers here. Lots of telecommunters. Many people run servers out of their apartments and if you don't know how to do something with your computere their is almost always someone in the complex that does. But wait, that's not all. There are 4 other apartment complexes in the same town and eventually they will all be one big MAN
Since you said "makes sense", I assume you know the reason but for other readers who may not know, the fuzziness is caused by the atmosphere scattering light. Only the very center where the least light scatters into from outside the edges of the shadow is the totality complete. This same scattering is the reason why the Hubble was built and that some of the best ground-based telescopes are built high on mountains above as much atmosphere as they can and away from the light-scattering effects of dust and pollution (and light pollution).
Tech support for my underwear(underware?)

"Thank you for calling the Help Desk. How may I help you?"
"Well, when I try to reboot my underwear, it just gives me a wedgie."
"What OS are you running on your underware, sir?"
"Microsoft Windows for Cotton Blends"
"Sorry sir. We can't help you. To fix this problem would require us to be able to unravel the source code and Microsoft doesn't allow that."
"But I chose Microsoft because it seemed Microsoft-y and smooth against my skin! Without fabric softner!"
"We're sorry. May we suggest the new distribution of Linux from Procter and Gamble?...."
Can't you see that the report was posted rather tongue-in-cheek? I rather imagine that he knows alot of those "good" pages are proclaiming good pics and that pages with "evil" are probably proclaiming against some of the "good" picts.
"Without evil there's no good, so it must be good to be evil sometimes."
But seriously, it definately takes mad lyrical skillz to combine several different parodies of pop crap into one cohesive whole. Funny, his polka parodies are often better than the songs which comprise it. The whole really is more than the sum of its parts.
part of me kinda doesn't want to see the fortune split up like that. I always wondered who the first trillionaire would be. But charity is a good thing.
Still, how would you like to grow up and know that your dad was worth over 100 billion and he gave you "only" 10 million, less than 1%?
Brings back memories of my Pascal teacher who stressed good programming concepts. If she ever caught you using spaghetti code, you got an instant zero. I spent many an hour in that computer lab. No games were allowed but several of us skipped lunch and pep assemblies to go play "Scorched Earth".
Couldn't this same script kiddie hack a dialog box to look like the original AIM? Bringing up some mythical miscreant is not the way to argue since they are "out side of the box". The question is whether or not the MSNM or any other "legit" messenger stores the username and password of another service within the bowels of its own system. If so, this is bad. mmmkay? If it is merely the vessel by which a users input is transmitted to the other service, I don't see a problem with that. mmmmkay?
Microsoft may be right on this issue at this moment in time but only because it suits them. They love to change protoccols and file formats (remember the Office file format debates still going on?) when they perceive a threat or it otherwise suits them. Most companies do this under the guise of new "features". Few are as blatant about protecting their turf as AOL in this case.
Support the cause of open standards and remember that if Microsoft "plays" with those standards later, that you can switch to other standard-supporting products.
...I'd vote for PBS's series "Triumph of the Nerds". A very good look at what got to where we are. A bit dated now, it is nonetheless in my opinion required viewing for nerds and geeks of all types.:)
We use Axis webcams at my old university for our computer labs. 10baseT directly to the camera's. Embedded web server. Pretty cool. This will help your cable distance problem. Just make a page with links to the urls of the cameras. Just be sure to change the default passwords of the cameras. Whoever installed our cameras didn't.;)
I agree. He was just a man. There are more tragic things in this world such as murder than a man jaunting around in his own plane crashing. My apartment complex has a mailing list for its residents and someone posted a number of "sick" kennedy jokes (with a warning). You should have seen the venom flying between people who said that they were hurt, between those who couldn't see how they could care, between those who thought they were tacky but defended their posting, etc etc etc.

Wait a minute... It's a great movie, but is it worth the cover of both "Time" and "Newsweek?"
Maybe this should be:

A: Both are f*&@ing close to water.

I need a stuffed Dust Puppy to sit next to my stuffed penguin at home. I also need a stuffed Crud Puppy to sit on my work machine.
Where does this live their high-end graphic applications?
if I had that kind of money, I'd try to open up apartment complexes with high speed internet connections like the one I live in.
Bandwidth for the masses.

My guess is that it's another big port or release from Big Blue itself, IBM. What big program would the Linux community most like to see ported?
Fits in briefcase and is easy to smuggle into a theater.

'Nuff said

I think it was Pascal 4(?).
Plus some fava beans and a nice Chianti.
I'm surprised that some disgruntled enterprising young coder whose school is filtering him/her hasn't done this yet.

This comment made you hard? That's not something you should admit in public, dude. hehehe
Love the Ghostbuster reference:)
