Sorry there, they were placed on the endangered species list. But I do have some tuna with lasers on their heads. They're genetically mutated tuna at that.
Get a free certificate from some place like Thawte and have your relatives get certificates as well. Then, just use the signing and encryption features of your email applications...
If you don't trust that technology for your security, get GPG and install that along with a plugin for Thunderbird (EnigMail if I remember correctly).
For a mere $10 million, SpaceDev is offering a state of the art Linux-based microsatellite that can be controlled over the internet using any laptop or desktop computer. The Modular Microsat Bus utilizes such things as plug and play USB, Ethernet, and other standards insert more buzzwords here, while providing critical features such as power, maneuvering, and communication for you boring, boring, boring - emphasize the fun you can have with it - spying on foreign countries, planning world domination, keeping an eye on that cute neigh^H^H^H^H^H^H. Up to 40 kg of project space are at your disposal!!!!
Just leave on the top of your desk a printout of all of the porn sites that your boss has been visiting with his name printed in bold at the top of each page. After that filters up the food chain, just tell him that you need a place with a bit more privacy to do your work.
Oh, and if that doesn't work out too well, you may want to begin to update your resume at the same time...
Then again if sodium was cheap and common this type of system would have been in every home years ago.
Completely ignoring the fact that Sodium in its pure state is highly explosive when any piece that's even relatively small touches any water, and the fact that the possible quantity and extent of the lawsuits that it would bring the first time a kid decided to crack open one of those balls of Sodium to find out what it "tasted like," yes, it would have been in every home years ago.
Just put a fan on the ductwork that should still be there from the old furnace blowing the heat out through your house. Then you get the bonus that it helps heat your house in the winter, and it'll use your existing a/c to cool it all off in the summer (if it pulls in the air from under the door, and blows it out from the cieling). That way you don't have to wire in anything more complicated than a fan, and everything'll still stay nice and cool.
Every year at my college (UNLV), they give out free weekly planners to the "new" students. The thing is that they really don't care and in the past few years they've quickly become the gold standard for keeping track of things.
Plus, you're a college student. Go spend that money that you would have spent on a PDA on something more useful for college students, like a keg cooler or maybe a semester's worth of books (if you feel like it).
First off, like others have reccomended, use HTML Tidy.
Secondly, create a set of standard templates/formatting rules and make sure that your guys keep to them. This makes everything a lot easier, possibly allowing you to even script the exportation of the documents, as well as making sure that there'll be a standard look and feel across the pages without a need for so much editing.
If all you ever read are internet posts full of mangled it's/its, they're/their/there and your/you're, dangling participles and other misuses of common phrases, you are likely to become desensitised to those mistakes, and stop noticing them.
While I agree with you completely on the first three parts of the sentence, the simple fact is that "dangling" participles is a standard practice in the English Language, and has always been. It wasn't until it was popularized by John Dryden in the late 17th cent. that leaving participles at the end of sentences bacame taboo; to top it off, it was tought because prescriptivists of the time thought that English should represent Latin more, and has been kept around since then.
Quite frankly, when it comes to the really mundane and stupid stuff like that, I tend to follow a paraphrase of one of the lines I've read while perusing the internet, "ignore the prescriptivists, they're assholes."
Also, an interesting thing which I don't think many people are looking at right now is that with this almost complete ignoring of grammar rules is that the written language is almost showing some of the evolutionary changes that spoken languages tend to show.
They may just use some video formats that are open, but not cutting edge. The latest and greatest doesn't always work the best across the board anyways. Maybe something like MPEG2, or an open codec like OGG Theora.
Acrobat may not be open-sourced, but the standard is open, hence the ability of OO.o to write to.pdf files, and all of those PDF readers that exist on the "alternate" OSes.
Like those before me, long-term archives/backups to tape, the working stuff in a RAID array.
Just a bit of advice, watch out who you buy your HDDs from. I know that both Maxtor and WD have lowered their warranties to one year, and from what I've seen, they tend to crap out rather easily. My reccomendation if this data is important to you and you are going to be storing some on a HDD based system would be to spend the extra money and get a quality HDD by a reputable manufacturer. I'd personally reccomend Seagate (the warranties are for 6 years, and the HDDs last forever).
If you're looking for the ultimate in storage quality, then you could go SCSI, but in reality, you could just throw together a decent system with a 3Ware RAID card and some 250/300 GB HDDs (there are some places you can get a 250GB drive for $125.00 or $0.50/GB).
It's just that when they get overbearing I really hate it and block them (the joys of dial-up). I tend to completely block image and flash ads, but I have no problem with text-based advertising. That's why I haven't blocked the googlesyndication.com site yet, although they are beginning to push more graphic banners.
Unfortunatelly, the majority of the topics I do research on (second language acquisition and its relation to Universal Grammar, Generative Grammar, and some historical linguistics research as well) lie in several disparate databases (Ebsco, various science related DBs, educationn DBs, anthropological DBs, some psychology related DBs, etc.). Because of this I can do dozens of queries on dozens of databases, or one on Google scholar and go directly to the database that contains what I need.
Plus Google Scholar searches other sites that aren't in the major databases, like theses which are posted to university websites. It was that way that I found an excellent unpublished doctoral thesis from an Italian university which I'm currently using in at least one of my research papers.
it is (obviously) in system memory during encryption/decryption. The key is never written to hard disk.
Until it consumes too much memory and gets written to swap during extended operations (and if this is on Windows, everything gets preemptively written to swap regardless of memory usage to speed up operations).

No, they're just measuring 90degrees from a -45deg. angle (off the horizontal). That's all. Don't you remember your geometry? ;)
Not sure where they sent it to on the side links, but you can still reach it at http://bsd.slashdot.org/
flip4mac is a QuickTime codec plugin. It allows you to play all of your WMV files through QuickTime.

(Does anyone actually use anything other than a computer and PowerPoint for presentations in class these days?)
Yes, Keynote.
Cool, if I lived in Canada, then I could get a leg work out while driving to college every morning...
Not if you have a lapse of memory and can't remember the password ;)

For some reason, I keep on having to re-swallow my USB emergency drive every few days.
It really puts me into a crappy situation when I have to re-swallow it at work.

They are already implemented.

I still don't have email quite figured out...
That's what an IMAP server + fetchmail is for.
