[The RS64's] qualities make it ideal for things like on-line transaction processing (OLTP), business intelligence, enterprise resource planning (ERP), and other large and hyphenated, function-rich, database-enabled, multi-user, multi-tasking jobs
Large and hyphenated! It's nice when technical writers get to slip a little something in on the side.
with a touch of Harry Potter (though of course it predates H.P.)
I think you could take any fantasy book (written before J.K. Rowling's hit that is) and be right in suggesting it has a touch of Harry Potter in it...:)
No kidding... my 87 year old grandmother has been emailing her friends in the UK and Austria for over a year on an old 1991 mac with System 7. She loves it. Small screen, colorful and elegant, simple programs. Up until that she had only used a typewriter.
The old LaserWriter attached to it gave up the ghost last week so she is looking to 'upgrade' to surf the web... We are looking at a 15" iMac - any suggestions as to anything better/cheaper?
The system uses an iris scan embedded in a passenger's machine-readable passport, which is compared to the passenger's iris with an onsite scan.
So you get a passport made with a fake iris scan, just like you would get one with a fake photo.
Or would it cryptographically check with a central office to make sure the passport iris scan is the same one you got when you applied for the passport? Whole other can of worms...
Yeah, because they'd NEVER have thought of it themselves! (rolls eyes)
Flame on! There's a difference between thinking about something and doing it. I applaud foresight. Plans are fine.
This isn't a little ex-aircraft gun mounted in a space station. To quote another poster "This is for active first strike capability, anywhere in the world. It is a sword that can be held over the entire world, ready to chop at any second." The first one to build this is opening a huge can of worms. To quote another poster any satellite like this is a pretty soft target and could see large chunks of our orbit ruined by debris, and that's the least of our concerns.
The best way to smuggle a nuke into the US of A is still in the back of a pickup truck, preferably concealed in a large bale of marijuana.
I'd worry more about your trade deficit if I were you.
In the past, during periods of strong rhythmic thumping on an exercise device, the solar arrays on docked Soyuz and Progress craft can be observed to jiggle.
I had the same problem when using both the nVidia framebuffer drivers and nVidia X drivers concurrently. Switching to VESA for the framebuffer is a workaround. Works fine for me.
At every corner I hear 'Watergate' being murmured, but it's almost as if there are so many heinous things going on that nobody can settle on one to take seriously.
From a vice president who is still being paid by Halliburton who are recieving billions in no-bid contracts (mild) to the politically motivated outing of a CIA agent in breach of Federal Treason laws (wild), and now this.
Hell, it's not my country so I shouldn't have to pay attention to this crap. But seriously guys, what the hell is going on?
Get yourself a Model M - I found mine at a salvage yard for $5 (not including the PS/2 it was attached to). Loudest most satisfying keyboard I have ever owned. Guaranteed to keep the housemates awake and sharpening their bowie knives.
That hand might just be the one crew member who realizes his chance to be the 'survivor'. He now has four times the food and oxygen to last him the rest of his 'surviving' 'survivor' life.

... well, it's plausible, isn't it? 3 months in a tin can would be a little hard on the psyche.
If he had a web site on that domain for example, that was a messageboard for "American's online" or something not exploitive of AOL's identity, he probably could have fought off AOL, or at least forced them to settle with him.
If earthquake prediction became the norm, imagine the damage to local economies here in the US!
Heh - you economists, always going ass-backwards... this is the same reasoning that makes oil spills a good thing for creating lots of jobs mopping up slicks and squeegeing seabirds.
Imagine how good it would be for local economies to mine a lot of iron, chop a whole bunch of trees down, build a huge housing complex, and then have it sink into the swamp (metaphorically and monty-pythonaically) as soon as the earthquake that nobody predicted hit.

You, sir, are the reason I read with "+5, Flamebait" comment bonuses. Excellent. :)
Just some unsolicited advice.

Personally I think the Valerie Plume thing is going to kill them. The CIA have the spine to push this thing through.

Be that as it may my point stands.
Food for thought: The Subaru Forester has almost an inch more ground clearance than a Ford Explorer.
Tell that to the fine crew of almost any nuclear submarine. They don't get all 'lord of the flies' on each other.
Well, no matter how long the nuke crew stay at sea, eventually they'll come home.
Plus they have a food supply to feed the crew for the project mission time.
I don't think there's many similar situations to analyze...

I wish we could add that quote to this list. It's better than "resolve and committment", that's for sure.
It's called a hat trick.
Do PROM-style RFIDs exist? Could you overhear the challenge-response interaction at the pump and make your own copy?
Enquiring thieves want to know.
What, like "African Americans On-Line"?
