If this leak is at a constant rate (which might not be true)
I suspect that the rate of pressure loss is proportional to the difference in pressue (since the other pressure is a vacuum, we can say that it's proportional to the pressure in the compartment). Assuming the hole isn't getting any wider.
I suspect they've got external cameras on that thing, presumably - why not release some brightly coloured gas (from a cansiter:) and see if it's visible? (Obviously one closed compartment at a time so they can still see inside).
That's nice, but what about a link to Nigeria?
Don't want to give them any more bandwidth. I already get half a dozen promises of untold riches from former dictators every morning as it is.
Apparently Sony lost money on the original PlayStation console, but made it back in royalties on the games (this is good marketing as it gets everyone to own a console and therefore to have a thirst for games). Perhaps M$ is using the same trick.
Remember its the fact that X isn't too tightly bound to GTK+/QT that has enabled it to survive so long - if it was we'd still be using Athena widgets or whatever. There is no way *NIX/Linux running X would ever hit the desktop looking like that! And I think fonts on X seem pretty much sorted on any modern Linux distro at least - I actually got some (stolen) TTF fonts to work the other day without having to much phaffing (or messing with ghost-script, either - an experience I'd rather not repeat).
Anyway, what's wrong with Mach64 - most reliable card I ever bought (won't be playing Half-Life 2 with it, though).
Well, its as secure as the technology it uses, and it uses the OpenSSL library. So if you buy online with your credit card (on linux/other os'es with openssl) you've already taken for granted that it is. As far as I can tell that's pretty secure.
FreeS/WAN looks good too, but a bit more complicated (anything mentioning custom DNS records is offputting in my book - especially since I can't have custom and web redirection - damn pity).
Another worry - threat to open source?

What if future generations of the glass rely on implants in the beer. Propriatary implants. Open source (i.e. you know the recipie and can make it yourself) beer will no-longer be compatable and will be illegal under The Digital Millenium Drunkenness Act (DMDA). Beer could be the next DVD! Implanted beer and "clever" beer glasses must be stopped!
We are talking about people who's friends (the Taliban) beileve that TV - and so almost certainly Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs) are immoral. By that token, TFT/LCD displays are probably immoral as well. Therefore, unless they crack into the world's infastructure using only radio (which is OK, for propaganda), a line-printer, or ask someone else nicely to do it for them, they can't really do much.

Antitrust . . . Reloaded?
I don't think Bill Gates' Kung Fu will be up to that.
... and realize it's of the ink-less variety
Why should it be ink-less? Is this another wallet-lightening opportunity for Epson or Lexmark?
Xfree86 is over 10 years old
I resent that the fact that something is over 10 years old is good enough reason to replace it. I'm over 10 years old.
I think we'd be better off leaving gravity to handle the last one.

I heard that the water-processing pH buffers overflowed.
Sorry, it had to be said!
