From the BBC article:
the document points out that options for aborting the mission or furnishing the crew with new supplies would be extremely limited The current mission sounds pretty dangerous to me. It likely has much worse odds than Columbus' did (at least in terms of the number of options available when things go wrong).
DARPA is the primary sponsor...

A major design goal of the TRIPS architecture is to support "polymorphism," that is, the capability to provide high-performance execution for many different application domains. Polymorphism is one of the main capabilities sought by DARPA, TRIPS' principal sponsor. The objective is to enable a single processor to perform as if it were a heterogeneous set of special-purpose processors. The advantages of this approach, in terms of scalability and simplicity of design, are obvious.
To implement polymorphism, the TRIPS architecture employs three levels of concurrency: instruction-level, thread-level and data-level parallelism (ILP, TLP, and DLP, respectively). At run-time, the grid of execution nodes can be dynamically reconfigured so that the hardware can obtain the best performance based on the type of concurrency inherent to the application. In this way, the TRIPS architecture can adapt to a broad range of application types, including desktop, signal processing, graphics, server, scientific and embedded.

According to a report in National Geographic:
The researchers believe that various species of grass had spread before India became geographically isolated from other continents about 125 million years ago. With the CT event at 65.5MYA, grasses may have already been around for a while.
If you read a bit further in the page referred to, you will also find the following statement:
Still other restrictions on your copying font software apply if you have signed a license or other contract with the font publisher whereby you agreed to limit your copying of the fonts. Such a license might conceivably prevent you from copying or selling font software sold to you by given publisher. But anyone else who has not signed such a contract and has gotten possession of a font could copy it freely, even if that publisher only distributes its fonts to licensees. The same would apply to attempts at trade secret protection, although it is hard to see how a font could be protected as a trade secret since to use it is to disclose it
The headline made me think that Xena was now thought smaller than Pluto, but from the article:
The round world, officially catalogued as 2003 UB313, is about 1,490 miles wide with an uncertainty of 60 miles, according to new observations by the Hubble Space Telescope. Pluto is roughly 1,430 miles (2,300 kilometers) wide.
For those of you who don't know what HIPPA is, imagine a very protective law about patient confidentiality that can result in serious jail time if it is violated.
For the record, it's 'HIPAA', not 'HIPPA'. HIPAA stands for "Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act".

What about the revenue stream generated by high-end 3d accelerated graphics cards? I would think that the large PC video card manufacturers have reasons to encourage game producers to release 3D titles.
Even substantial 2D graphics can be handled by more modestly priced cards.
Google introduced one feature that should help make Google Video more popular with owners of some handheld devices: Non-DRMed videos can be downloaded in iPod- and PSP-friendly formats. Allowing iPod and PSP owners to bypass what can be the sometimes-tedious conversion process is a smart move on Google's part.
Maybe I'm missing something, but if Wine followed the spec in their implementation (and thus duplicated the vulnerability) they why are we arguing that this was a hidden backdoor?
Or... did the Wine developers know about this quirky behavior and just implement, perhaps assuming that it had a valid, useful purpose?
Any thoughts?
The parent poster (as with many other posters) refer to the term LDAP. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't LDAP simply a protocol?
If you (i.e. the collective you) speak of an LDAP implementation, do you mean you implemented the protocol? It would seem more accurate to say We are implementing an OSS based, LDAP-enabled directory service.
Active Directory is also implements LDAP, so this term would equally apply to this Microsoft product.
There have been a number of posts along these lines; my thought is this: How does Photoshop know where the image file came from?
The image might be yours or, it might not. So, Adobe may be doing the right thing in not bypassing encryption.
I would think that a photographer should be able to turn off the encryption in order to shoot the photo and then edit it.
Subsequenly, the image should have encryption turned back on (albeit white balance probably doesn't matter too much at this point). Otherwise, this just doesn't make any sense to me.

To quote the article:
Thereafter, if a consumer returned the rental, he/she would be credited for the selling price, but would be charged a "restocking fee" of $1.25 or more.
The part about charging for a never-returned movie makes sense to me; but the "restocking fee" obviously is not in line with their advertising claims.
I wonder what this $1.25 cost represents?
Its unfortunate that there aren't non-Apple hardware platforms to choose from. The competition could be a good thing (especially in the case of the parent post).
Also, it would allow a broader range of acceptance for their operating systems (which I would love to run on my x86 hardware).

How about growing your own???
Sure, there is the cost of water to factor in. But there are other options if you have even a little space to work with.

Samsung plans to start mass production of the 1.8"-type 64GB flash-SSD in the second quarter of this year.
How about a free link to Xenophon's Anabasis. No need to buy a book that was written over 1500 years ago. Talk about expired copyright...
This article is about SanDisk's campaign against Apple iPod; is Creative involved in this too?
In reviewing SanDisk's product lineup it seems fairly trim (about 5 main products). So perhaps they are indeed competing along similar lines?

Here is some commentary on this article from the Junk Science people:

I find their opposing views are sometimes interesting.

I believe the above link applies to these settings. It wasn't obvious from Macromedia's website where to go for this.
