If you aren't aware, administratium is the only element whose atomic weight increases after fission
More like, when it undergoes radioactive decay, it gains mass.
Postfix Enabler

Postfix
·
· Score: 5, Informative
Mac OS X users can find a cool, donation-ware (read: non-crippleware) GUI for the buil-in postfix server, Postfix Enabler. It allows some advanced configuration of the postfix server.
It has some handy instructions for setting up Mac OS X's Mail.app to interface with the Postfix server as well.
If you actually paid attention to my post, you would realize that I said "will make people feel safer because it will make people safer." As in, the patriot act, while certainly open to abuse (what isn't?), will make the nation a safer place. Thus, it will make people feel safer.
No, wait, even Fox News wouldn't stoop to using that kind of straw man argument. How does wearing a seatbelt restrict personal liberties? *Forcing* someone to wear a seatbelt might, but that is a not what you said. In several (if not most) states wearing a seatbelt is mandatory. By giving up a bit of movement in the car, your chance of dying in a collision is drastically reduced.
Or perhaps by implementing measures of security, it gives the citizens a sense of security.
The alternative is, what, downplaying 9/11 and so forth, saying that it was just a glitch and it won't happen again without doing anything?
Implementing security measures will make people feel safer because it will make people safer.
And as a preemptive response to the typical dogmatic "those who sacrifice a little liberty for safety deserve neither liberty nor safety" statement: have you ever worn a seatbelt in your car?
This is a good thing, because Rob Enderle is always wrong (source: Ferrari laptop, his Apple-related commentary & speculation). Naturally, then, we can expect a sudden increase in Bluetooth sales (and the universal acceptance of Bluetooth as a standard).
As it happens, I just purchased a Bluetooth-enabled phone and USB adapter.
Haha, of course I think it was condescendingly worded. However, it was partly tongue-in-cheek, and partly a reference to Dr. Evil's "time machine" and "laser."
Seriously, though, I know that I am not omniscient, and I know that I want to learn more. Also, keep in mind that the original poster pointed out later that he knew what he was posting was ridiculous.
If I were to be truly condescending/unhappy/mad at someone here, it would be because he pretend to know what he is talking about, even though he was just full of BS (and this does happen).
It has been suggested that we sequester liquid CO2 in abandoned natural gas mines and seal them up. Perhaps that is what an ancient civilization did in the Artic.;)
Let me introduce to you the concept of something called "chemical bonds" and something called "energy."
Basically, different atoms are bonded together with these "chemical bonds," and the "bond energies" of these "chemical bonds" determines the stability of the compound and how much "energy" is needed to break them or is produced in creating them.
The "chemical bonds" in CO2 are quite strong, so breaking them apart to form C and O2 would require a LOT of chemical "energy" (the same "energy," in fact, produced by burning pure carbon in a pure-oxygen environment). Therefore, it is idiocy to think that one can just break apart CO2 into "diamond" and "O2."
Perhaps you don't even understand that "CO2" is [letter C - letter O - sub two], as you write [letter C - number zero - number two].
And you should know that making diamonds requires an enormous amount of pressure and energy.
Eh, I guess I have been trolled, as the level of ignorance in the parent post is surely not possible by accident.

"Give a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.
Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life."
I think "standards" imply some level of internal consistency which IE lacks.
The explanation: the Heart of Gold strikes again.
Probability of ten to the twenty-sixth to one and falling...

Every encounter I've seen or heard of with the BSA has seemed more X-Filesish than like an inquiry by a buisness orginzation.
Wait wait wait. Are we talking about the same Boy Scouts of America?
X-Filesish?
Well, I don't believe it either; I was just correcting the parent poster.
No, a video store was indebted to him. This means he probably lent them money that they couldn't repay, so he is probably rich.
...with an Xbox running Linux.
Wait, isn't that in violation of SCO's IP, Mr. McBride?
So, caught red-handed in the pump-and-dump, eh? Ha!
Wouldn't you have to care?
Actually, I was quoting from that catchy FreeBSD song.

That is the situation I was referring to.
Have you ever considered that the ability to live without fear for one's safety is (a) liberty?

"...emotional attachment to ... other well-designed objects"
Oh, no... why must they ask such a question on Slashdot?!? Why?!?
Hrm, I'm sorry for sounding like such a jerk. I didn't intend it that way, but it sure looks it.
Haha, that limerick was funny, if only because it made fun of the truly terrible limericks in its parent post.

Yeah, you're wrong ;)
The net reaction is this:
6CO2 + 6H2O (+ light energy) -> C6H12O6 + 6O2
It would be the reverse reaction of burning C6H12O6 (glucose), not carbon.
For a more detailed stepwise reaction: here

Heh, the Mounties.
It could be gold-plated...
That would be one pimpin' spaceship.
Actually, I think some spacecraft/probes/satellites do in fact have gold plating, or something to that effect.
Eh, gold or platinum would work... it's zinc and the others that you have to watch out for.
