    Ar is noble, isn't it? So that'd be O2:N2:Ar?

    Thanks.

    Sooo.....

    Anyone know of a nifty piece of software I could use to see what other people are doing on their machine in real time? Something a-la VNC in read-only?

    I would appreciate any ideas you guys have.

  7. Re:And the real answer is... on What's Being Done About Nuclear Security · · Score: 1
    A more serious question that I'd pose, given the above harsh-but-true assessment, is how much could quality of life in general be improved if all the resources being diverted in the name of "fighting terrorism" were invested in hospitals, schools, etc. in the first place.

    Sir, I would ask you to think about what you've asked here. Certainly you would agree that we need to defend the country against militants of any sort, yes? (This includes terrorists, armies, etc.) I don't believe that the best use of our security resources would be best spent elsewhere, building hospitals. (In the least, hospitals are a private endeavor, not public.) We most certainly must take steps to reassure ourselves that we will not see future attacks on our native soil.

    I agree that any additional resources we can afford to use on schools, hospitals and the would be most welcome and well-used, but while we still have enemies in the world, we must protect ourselves from them.

    I'll bet it's easy to tell if equipment is running or not. A simple diagnostic--artificially creating what they're looking for--would tell them if the thing is working or not.

    So.. go create some WIMPs and you'll be first in line for their maintenence contract, Hoss...

    Good luck.

    I think the main problem is a phone with nothing but the ability to make calls and compile an address book is that it just doesn't have a markbet big enough to warrant interest;

    True.

    But when was the last time you had your credit card information stolen? For hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people, it hs happened in the last year. What increased costs has this raised for you, as a consumer? How about medical records?

    People keep all kinds of information on their computers and they have a right to expect it to be safe.
