I live, work and travel in Asia. I speak Japanese, Korean and Chinese (I'm a native English speaker, from Calif).

The admins I talk to want to fix things, but until a focused effort is made to help them (docs in their languages, etc.), things won't change, I agree.

I'm working on it the best I can...one admin at a time:)
While I applud your efforts, that's not the best you can do. There is better in your own comment: you can translate/write docs for them, in their language. Write a tutorial on how to properly secure mailservers in whatever language you think would best help, post it on the web and point people to it. (If you need webspace, ask around. I'd even do it, though my webserver is subpar.) Tell people to point others to it. The web is good at dissemenating info.
I don't see how a centrifugal compressor will drive this thing the way it's been illustrated.

It aint a turbine unless you're extracting power from the flow. In your case it's just a centrigual pump. Mount a forward pointing scoop that directs flow down the axis of the pump, then collect _all_ the radial flow and direct it out the exit.
Actually, looking over the clay models and other pics I think that is what they are doing, and the animation is flawed. There is quite a clear scoop on the side of the wheel near the axel in the prototype pics, so funneling the water down the axis would be the obvious thing.

Root Zone Changed

· Score: 3, Informative
Simple: You know there is a nameserver for slashdot.org, right? You find that nameserver by asking the org nameserver where it is. And how do you find the org nameserver? You ask the root nameservers. The zoot zone is the base zone of the Internet (just like / is the base of the file system in Unix).
I'm not exactly sure, and I don't think it's been thoughoughly tested to find the minimum... It's in the 16MB range (and is the same as the default OS). You can run with less, but that needs a custom kernel. If it boots, you can install.
Figure you need a fairly high value of x to determine things like woody / fleshy material, lets say 100 per square inch. (I have no idea if 100 is really reasonable, it may be more like 1000.)
Actually, I'd say 100 per square inch is probably a little high, and that you don't need a high level of percision to determine this. Your fingertips have a resolution of about 100 per tip (say 200 per square inch), but the rest of you has a much lower resolution. Your mind will also interpolate expected values, so if you can do 20-50 sensors per inch you could probably fool even fingertips (especially with further computer interpolation). Drop it less yet, and it may not feel quite right, but it would still be recongizable...
Note that Webalyzer updates at 6am, so today's stats aren't yet posted.
No problem, I wasn't able to load it until 10:45...
Analysis: Yesterday's load (from http://isengard.overcode.net/usage/usage_200210.ht ml) is around 6 times higher than would be expected on an even distribution. Today's, as of 6:38 this morning are already twice as high as would be expected daily. More interesting is that amost half of your traffic came in to the link posted in the article, and half of that left immediately. (Likely to a mirror.) Around a third of it seems to have gone to your local mirror, either to get the pdf (a quarter of those who came in to the article's link) or the whole thing. (Assuming they downloaded and immediatly left. This based on where they left from.)
The stats don't quite show the spike I would exect, mostly because you have been having high traffic for the last four days... Still, interesting, and Thanks!
Code that knowledge of affects national security should not be released period. Not that much code actually falls into that catagory; it would mostly be control systems for top secret weapons that the puplic doesn't know we have. This is seperate from what licence it should be under. None of the OSS licences that I know of require you to give the code to anyone if you don't also give/sell them the program itself. If the public doesn't get the program, they don't get the code, simple. If the public gets the code, it should be released into the public interest, i.e. a OSS licence of some sort. Therefore the government should always use some OSS licence, as all the code will eventually be released to the public. (It may still be under copyright if the current trend continues.)
Of course, that could lead to arguements that a missile guidence system is 'delivered' to the target of the missile. I think a simple mini-CD strapped to the warhead should suffice...

Ok! Ok! I believe you! Pictures/load graphs would be fun though. (How much load does a Slashdotting cause?)
