I have extreme difficulty believing you have 3GB of vital conversation in your PSTs. Lose the attachments and see if it doesn't drop to less than 800mb.

Step 1: sysadmins band together in a DDOSOR alliance.
Step 2a: Spammer uses open relay for spam campaign.
Step 2b: Alliance member starts to receive spam.
Step 2c: DDOSOR alliance is notified immediately and starts one-hour DDOS attack on open relay.
Step 2d: open relay can't finish sending spam.
Step 3: Profit!
There was a group working on it sporadically from time to time. [I contributed a vanishingly small amount.] They did a lot of impressive code restructuring but didn't quite make it to a release yet. Take a look at their sourceforge page. I seem to remember there was a yahoo groups based mailing list for development too.
I am not really worried about GWB, Ashcroft & Co. I happen to think that they are honchos with a hardon for Saddam, and I hesitate to think of what might happen with the three of them in a dark room together... but the ugly truth is, nothing this gang of idi^Wpoliticians does is likely to severely impinge on my lifestyle.
The danger is setting a precedent. What if the next administration, or even an administration 50 years from now, is led by people as paranoid as Norman Bates? It's right there in the law, they can declare any group that opposes them to be a terrorist group and start the secret arrests.
Think about it, all you Rabid Republicans. Would you want Bill Clinton's administration to have the powers that you are so willing to give GWB? Or worse yet (gasp!) HILLARY CLINTON? She very well might run in 4 or 8 or even 16 years...
Basically they have a good idea what a gravity wave will look like when it comes from a particular object. They are simply looking for a similar 'signature'.
To be less confusing:
Basically they have a good idea what a gravity wave will look like when it is caused by a particular kind of event (black hole coalescence, supernova, neutron star starquake, etc.)
Microsoft's SAPI SDK includes an app called "Microsoft Mouth" that will speak the contents of the clipboard (and show you mouth movements at the same time). Not automatically whenever the clipboard changes, unfortunately, but source is provided.
Karen Kenworthy has written a tool called Power Toy that uses the Agent control to do TTS (as well as voice recognition and all the other Agent features). Again, not set up for automatic clipboard speaking.
Agent Reader is one of the many 3rd party tools I found that will use SAPI to automatically speak the clipboard contents.
Or of course you could roll your own. Back in 1999 I rolled my own app that copied a text representation of an access table to the clipboard, which then used MS Mouth to speak it. This was so I could quickly verify long lists of typed numbers.
The one thing I've not been able to understand about the detector is how it is aimed to look at a particular celestial object.
At this point, there is no way to look at a particular celestial object as I understand it; the basic objective is just to prove the existence of gravity waves.
I'm highly skeptical of any need to postulate new forces. Such effects should have shown up long ago in asteroid/planetoid/comet tracks. Has anyone given a serious look at magnetic effects? Pioneer 10 and 11 are largely metallic; the sun's magnetic field is not negligible. What about the solar wind? And how sure are they of the distance estimates? Is there anything besides this CNN article on the subject?
The really weird thing is, the Februrary issue of Analog has a story called "Distance" by Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff which deals with exactly this subject: an unexpected, unsolicited message from Pioneer 10. And the story must have been written at least six months ago, right?
Coincidence...? You decide.
(Sorry, but since it's in the February (print) issue, it's not up on the web site yet. Go buy a copy and say Kaddish for a tree.)
Singing alone, or in family groups, is not chargeable, according to this quote from the site linked by the "posting moderator" above:
The federal copyright act allows composers and music publishers to demand payments for any public performance of copyrighted material. The law defines a public performance as "where a substantial number of persons outside of a normal circle of a family and its social acquaintances is gathered."
"How about Ring Around the Rosie'?" another Elf asks. The directors veto it.
Now, Ring Around the Rosie is a centuries old nursery rhyme that most know dates back to the time of the Black Death. I won't go into the details, but thats what it is about.
Yes, Disney (the company) owns Mickey Mouse. I don't dispute that. I dispute that they have a right to own Mickey Mouse. The company was not the author of Mickey Mouse; no one at the company today had anything to do with Mickey Mouse; yet the company continues to collect money for Mickey Mouse and wishes to do so indefinitely (to all appearances, given their lobbying actions).
Your 3 rational options are all themselves irrational in my view. I would propose returning copyright to the original (in the USA) 14 years from publication. That's plenty of time to use the immediate profits from work X to fund the creation of work Y.
What's needed is some way to reserve bandwidth in advance, some kind of ICMP packet that says 'I want to be able to send packets quickly to the following address during the next three hours'. The router will reply with 'okay' or 'no, I can't guarantee that'.
Ed Avis, you've just invented RSVP. What are you going to do next?
Personally, my desire that items lapse into the public domain is grounded in my belief that nobody at Disney, for example, alive today, had the slightest bit of involvement in the creation of Mickey Mouse. Why should they get dollars for it when I don't? What makes them so special? You say that I just want to get stuff for free... but they want to get money for free (i.e., without doing anything to earn it except bribe legislators).
I don't have time for this. You argue like a drowning man, grabbing at all sorts of verbiage and crap in an attempt to stay alive. Give me one web site, journal article, or book reference that expressly states "photons have nonzero mass" and I may continue this argument. Otherwise, have a nice life, preferably a few hundred kilometers away from me.
Apparently you are suffering from some sort of brain damage. A site describing the standard model includes this text:
Photons & gravitons have no mass, whereas the gluon and weak-force quantum-particles have mass of 0.14 and 80-90 GeV, respectively. Mass of subatomic particles is described by the mass-energy unit GeV, Giga (billion) electron volts. (The amount of energy an electron gains moving through a potential of one volt in a vacuum is one electron-volt,1eV.) Gravity is only included in the Standard Model by tentative hypothesis -- gravitons have never been observed.
If massy particles could travel at c, then according to Special Relativity their mass would appear infinite to outside observers.
I have never heard that photons were ever thought to have mass. They have momentum of course, equal to Planck's constant times their frequency; but they have no mass.
Even if you were taught in your "physics classes" that photons had mass, a two minute search of Google shows that 99% of the website-producing population of earth disagrees. Admittedly, that is not necessarily proof - it's been said that any idiot can put up a web site, and many idiots have - but reading textbooks and the physics section of any bookstore will produce the same conclusion.

So learn CDO and vbs and alter OWA. It's not that hard.

Don't forget, Larry already wrote a space elevator story: Rainbow Mars.
No one has constructed a proof or algorithm that says "If Reimann is true then we can factor primes in O(1) time"
Given that P is a prime, I can factor it in constant time.
and "Nay" when MS changes it's GUI (Luna? *ACK* designed by color blind mentally defective lunatics.)
I take offense at this. I can easily prove that I had nothing to do with Luna.

This was in the BBC news thingy on my right sidebar a few days ago.

What do you imagine the digital signal is being carried on? Smoke signals?
Moreover, they caused rodent infestation problems.
I wonder if these potato starch snowflakes are going to cause problems simialr to ones the corn flakes caused?
The very first thing I thought of when reading the story was, "Won't that promote rampant mold growth?"
Duh. I just realized that this story was probably written in response to the April contact with Pioneer 10. Not as weird as I thought, then.
