Sorry, nope, doesn't do crap. Maybe one or two more accidents but that's it. During the summertime this happens a lot here in Vegas. Everyone's AC is getting revved up to cool down the houses in time for everyone to come home/those who have come home have just turned their AC down, and then we get large brown-outs.
Thankfully, people tend to remember what they've learned years ago. Namely that a non-working stoplight is the same as a stop-sign.
You missed it when it was slightly defaced, gotta love those trolls.
Termination shock is also experienced by women following sexual intercourse. The most common scenario is related to premature ejaculation, most often due to mating with Slashdot readers.
Not to mention that I almost exclusively get my Linux ISOs from BitTorrent. Does that mean that even though I use it for legal purposes I have intent to break the law and the MPAA/RIAA could sue me?
I would say that with certain extensions, you're completely wrong. PostgreSQL comes with an extension that you can install which implements a vector-based full text search.
IIRC Google Desktop Search won't automatically index network drives on the first go-around, but if you open the file up while GDS is runing it will index the file.
But while reading the features page, it looks like you can run both the Mini or Search Appliance in tandem with GDS Enterprise to both index your intranet as well as let your employees index and search through their content.
Looks like it could be quite the time saver if you ask me. Being able to type in something like "Oracle" and pop up all of your intranet docs containing the phrase, as well as all emails, chats, and the docs on your computer seems to just scream "improved efficiency."
Why don't you use the recently released Google Desktop Enterprise Edition? It has access controls, the ability to be pushed out to all of the client computers seemlessly, filters for a huge ammount of files, the option of plugins to read more files, and is completely free.
You're completely overlooking the fact that some much larger industries are probably frothing at the mouth when hearing about this (namely the tech industry). Intel, AMD, IBM, and the like have wanted the ability to use diamonds instead of copper in chips for ages. With this ability, they can push clock speeds (and consequently temps) into ranges previously unheard of without worrying about melting the innards of the processor.
I can just about guarantee you that if they were to get their funding revoked because of DeBeers, then those scientists could just as easily go to some of the major chip manufacturers and find levels of funding that they wouldn't even be able to dream of while working in academia.
If it wasn't for the fact that once anything is in that water for any ammount of time it'll both start to corode the metallic contacts as well as become electrically conductive.
That's why he used mineral oil. It's electrically neutral, and doesn't corrode metallic components.
I don't know about you, but I go to university here in Las Vegas. The computer labs here charge $0.02/page single sided, $0.04/double sided. I can print out an 800 page book on their high speed printer in about a half-hour for only $16.00, plus cost of binder.
If you're near a university, or attend any extension courses, you may be elegible to use their computer labs. Check out the price per page and that may be the cheapest option for you.
IIRC, CopyMax inside OfficeMax only charges $0.02/page for copies. Not sure on the charge for printouts.
They haven't yet learned about those thick plastic covers that you put on the keyboards? seems to me that you could dunk it in bleach with that on. We used to have those on every keyboard back when I worked at an auto shop during high school.

The telling portion is at the very end of that phrase, the "either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version." portion. That means that although they couldn't use any future software which might use v3 of the GPL, they could just as easily fork the software to keep on using v2 of the GPL if they wanted to, and that's if the author/maintainer of the software decided to move on to a newer version.
What about those who encrypt their entire hdd except for the boot partition and have no swap partitions (lots of ram). Then they further encrypt everything else in even more encrypted files. You've got to love Linux's ability to have encrypted HDDs (the only reason that I'm not including *BSD is beacause I've never used them, and so I can't speak for them).
Oh, and a lot of the newer high-density HDDs use glass plattars, so any really good impact will just shatter the plattars too, effectively destroying the data.
Personally, if I were to be doing anything that would warrant the SS's attention (and I'm not, for the record), that's what I'd do, on top of some of those insane things that IBM and the like offer up with the chips that destroy themselves when they're tampered with (I'd have a little "pull here to destroy" cord put around that thing asap, or at least a hammer nearby and a target of where to hit put on the laptop).
Yeah, that'll go over really well next to a college campus. I don't know about where you live, but there's something insane like at least 4 cafes along the street across from the university here, plus 3 ON the campus, including one in the library, where you get free wireless anyways, so the competition for customers gets pretty heated here. Not to mention that the majority of the management are college students, so they're pretty cool about stuff.
If they really want to win the browser wars, why don't they jump the gun on the Firefox/Mozilla crew and implement full CSS3 spec support as well as CSS2.1?
If they don't, and as it seems, web developers get tired of having to write code just for the IE family of browsers (I know that I am, and just use IE7 right now to get it to play nice), how long do you really think that it'll be before you start to see a huge ammount of those "Get Firefox" buttons on the bottom of even some of the major websites?
Find a student employee that you trust, better yet, find a couple.
Lock the equipment in a cabinet with the only people having keys being you and those whom you trust.
Set up a system whereby everyone who wants to borrow the equipment has to sign it out with either you or one of those individuals whom you trust.
Make sure that you get a copy of some photo ID of them and make them sign a document stating that they take full responsibility for any damages/thefts of the equipment (kind of scares them into taking care of it).
Sure technology is cool and all, but sometimes the old-fashoned ways just work better.

Really? The Nazis sure did.
No, they aren't sealed. They do have a lot of filtering between them and the surrounding air, but they aren't sealed.

MP3 and AAC are the only real standards in quality digital audio
Aren't you completely forgetting OGG and FLAC?

It's a great idea until he gets his bill for excessive bandwidth use next month. And at European rates too. Ouch!
/. smashes your 404 page repetedly I guess.
That's what you get when all of
Apparently, the flow control mechanism of TCP doesn't work well when the latency goes to 40 minutes.
That's what subspace communication is for. I would hope that a geek of his caliber has at least watched some Star Trek.
Isn't that just an extrapolation of what Google Sets is?

Or you could make the magnetic stripe reader found in that magazine and "earn" even more money ;)...

I know that I personally have sent something like 300 invites to this spooler, and that there were over 500,000 invites available at last count.
How long before someone releases a kernel patch that randomises the time offset of all TCP packets sent from a computer?
