In a vacuum you only lose heat via radiation, and you know that's pretty slow, since Vacuum flasks can keep things hot for a really long time.
So yeah, breathing would be your concern.
That's not really true. Vacuum flasks are also covered with reflective coatings inside so that the heat loss from radiation is also minimized. Also when considering heat loss from radiation, what's important is the difference of temperature between the surroundings and the object. If the surrounding's also warm, it would also give the object heat by radiation. If the surrounding is space, the heat you get by radiation is negligible, so yes, you would freeze very quickly. But whether it would be quicker than explosion of your body due to lack of outside pressure, I don't really know. But my guess is you wouldn't have time to be concerned about anything.
Actually, you have exactly 30 seconds. Any longer than that and there is no chance a passing spaceship will pick you up.
Wrote a screensaver for xlockmore, which was then picked up and continues to this day in XScreensaver. Main reason for trying linux (was 1994ish) was to learn programming. Took me almost 2 years to port my screensaver from Applesoft BASIC to C after reading all the X windows programming books I could find and learning C.
Yes, but to give SciFi it's proper dues, even science can appear to be magic if taken in the right context. To a person from the Middle Ages, seeing a car, plane, bombs, lasers, etc. would be "magic" to them. All the effects that they do for the "magic" abilities are just there to let the player know that they did something. The same thing can be done for science fiction, just takes a good design.
So what your are looking for is for someone to modify the winamp plugin from http://www.moodlogic.com/ . You queue it up with your current mood, and then proceed with what you described above. If the plugin was open source I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to do.
http://dinsights.com/POTM/ is a semi-monthly contest that I have been watching for a while now. The problems are fun and interesting. The main objective is get the best "score" in the shortest amount of time. The solutions to past problems are very interesting reading. It's amazing what people do in the various languages. There was a problem several years ago that I still remember and think about: Take a map that gives various terrain altitude changes and find the shortest route (including distances traveled up and down) from point A to point B and back without crossing your "path".
The company I work for www.proquest.com just signed an agreement with IBM. And you guessed it. My job got outsourced to an India callcenter. They may be providing a service, I doubt it will be as good a service as having local people here will provide.
Yay IBM. Way to keep the US dollar in the US.
If you have more than one profile set up for Mozilla don't auto-migrate the profile settings. It wiped my other profiles out. Anybody else have this happen? There is no way to recover unless you have a backup. So backup those settings before you install.
I want to see wireless communication. Imagine, implanting a chip that allows you to communicate with others over a wireless grid. ESP made to order. I would think that the government would have already been looking at this for combat situations, but then with wireless security in the state that it is currently in I'd hate to have somebody try to use my brain as a net access point.
Great, now MS will buy these guys out after a long lawsuit. Then they will add this feature to their "premium" OS and charge twice as much for it.
One thing though... will a BSOD affecting one person affect the other? I'd bet so.
The problem with this is you cannot trust the end user. They will find a way to catch this information and use it to cheat. Everquest was plagued by this.
Encryption is the only way to go if you are going to do this. However, you may find that you are spending more time finding a _easy_ encryption that is _hard_ to break.
It appears that Mozilla is only partially safe from this type of bug. When I went to the test page it still showed up as being a pdf in the filename field but identified as a html file. It then asked me what I wanted to do and defaulted to "open with mozilla firebird".
This bug may be bigger than reported.
I know that kazaa doesn't use a set port anymore, so it's much harder to trap that way.
You have to look at the packets themselves. p2pwall (in my post above) does this. It makes it possible to allow kazaa, et al to run, but doesn't allow them access to the outside world. Useful for distributing class notes, etc.
So how does bandwith reporting stop usenet? Or streaming mp3 from legit places?
Why not just implement a firewall that blocks p2p?
P2PWall tries to do this: http://www.lowth.com/p2pwall/
to some degree. It won't prevent people from hacking the data stream with another computer on the same network like what was done with everquest. But it will stop the script kiddies that develop programs to play the game for them while they are afk.
Is this a good idea? Dunno. I kinda like being able to do more than one thing with my computer while playing online games. But I also like knowing that I won't be nerfed to hell and back by developers trying to compensate for the people who play 24x7 using scripts.

There is RapidApp, http://www.rapidapp.info/ . It is perl based, but builds nice database frontends. Watch the vids, some pretty good examples there.
"The Brain"
So... what are we going to do today?
I would use it with chromecast... so it'd be wireless. Add in a bluetooth keyboard and you are good to go.
Have you tried http://www.playonlinux.com? I believe I saw a predefined setting for GTA.
bah, saw minesweeper and totally forgot that you asked for help on freecell.
Ok. First, type in this sequence of Bacteria DNA:
xyzzy
Then press the two magic keys:
SHIFT
ENTER
Tada! All the help you need.

The other thing to remember is that "Thing your Aunt gave you" is a container. Put everything you can into it.
Exactly. The gov't is in complete violation of the 10th amendment of the Constitution when it bullies the states in this way.

You can have a decent text editor in emacs. Just use vi mode. 8)

Dunno about that. Every time I see a female walking about with "These are Real" on her shirt, I always look twice.
