Yahoo lets you answer the backup questions and then reset the password to one of your choice? I didn't know it was that insecure. Normally a system would email you a reset link, but I guess Yahoo users might not have another email address. Sounds like Y should give you the option of disabling this cracking feature. Either you have a it send the reset link to a backup email or to a registered phone number for SMS text. How does Gmail do it?
About 23,000 gal. of diesel fuel was stored in the bldg, mainly on the bottom floors but some as high as the 7th. "Several months after the WTC 7 collapse, a contractor recovered" the fuel from the tanks and, "unaccounted fuel totaled... somewhere between 0 and 2,000 gallons..." And "The worst-case scenarios associated with fires being fed by ruptured fuel lines-or from fuel stored in day tanks on the lower floors-could not have been sustained long enough, could not have generated sufficient heat to weaken critical interior columns, and/or would have produced large amounts of visible smoke from the lower floors, which were not observed." http://www.nist.gov/public_affairs/factsheet/wtc_qa_082108.html
Anyway, steel bends in fires, that's why it has to be insulated and why steel bldg's must have sprinkler systems. I doubt the fire dept. was able to respond effectively in time.
From TFA: "Unfortunately, scripted manipulation of VML [with exCanvas] is too slow to be used for highly interactive web applications."
Still it does seem crazy to expect enough people to install the plugin to make it universal enough for developers, as Flash is now.
Then the rest of the article is about Adobe. "This is purely speculation, but If Adobe decided to ship [the new Moz plugin] as part of the next major iteration of the Flash plugin, it would rapidly accelerate adoption and get it onto lots of computers."
Also downloading for offline reading & permanent storage is a lot easier with Usenet. Thunderbird is a bit wanky, but does it.
Usenet can also be adapted for use as a company forum. One big webhosting company uses an NNTP hierchary instead of a user forum, with a universal password to access it. There are pluses & minuses, but it sure is simple. The features are client-side. The downside is you have to have the archives to search for answers.
Lightning damage can come in through the NIC. On the network I saw, a Linksys router hooked to a satellite modem started sending damaging voltage down the ethernet after a storm. One computer lost its NIC, two others lost NIC + motherboard. After the storm was over, the Linksys box was still deadly to a laptop.
Because most people sign up through invites. Your friend invites you using your good email address... and unless you 1. reject, 2. set up new account, 3. invite the friend, then otherwise your cooked.
US Gov't plot to put malware on Middle Eastern PCs more likely. Goes along with the coordinated cuts of undersea telcom cables which cut off internet access last year. Just sayin'
You bump ZoneAlarm down one level, from Internet High to Internet Medium and that fixes it. Will be a tough problem for many though, as once you're offline you can't research it and MS & ZA can't push a fix.
Some of the most popular sci books in the 1970s were anthropology books, more or less about sex: The Naked Ape, Margaret Mead, Happy Hooker, Jonathan Livingston Seagull... j/k on the last one!
Last time I looked at Scientific American or National Geographic it was just a travesty. The articles used to take a week to read, at least for a kid.
EW is the best of its sort, much better than People or Us or the real trash. Stephen King writes a monthly column. The issue they're talking about ranks top 100's from the last 25 years. You might sorta agree:

It's basically a fiction list. That in itself goes against the commercial trend, which is heavily non-fiction.
There are grants from the federal gov't involved in this. Look at the key on the bottom right of the map: http://www.bpl.coop/deploymentmap.php I'm generally in favor of public programs, but I'm starting to suspect pigs at the trough in this one. If you read Kevin Phillips, the current US president's family has been mining federal contracts for several generations, as opposed to legit business. But I digress.
Ironically, radio interference played a role in the biggest natural disaster in this area (I am replying to my own post). In 1969 the largest hurricane in US history jumped 800 miles inland and killed 157 people here in the mountains. Emergency response was hampered by a radio silence zone established to protect the Green Bank National Radio Astronomy Observatory several counties away in West Virginia.

Here's a pretty well-funded, all-Flash newsmagazine published by real journalists: http://www.flypmedia.com/
Ack! Yeah, it's that html thing... preview is such a speedbump...
In your break line, '=' should be ''.
Those lines are correct. The function takes days=number of days since 1980, and calculates year/month/day, as well as the day of the week.
Mods are not getting the bitty humor in gp. Like me.
[ah, mis-moderation, clearing]
But Flash video just works. Other video does not. Hence, Youtube.
And the player is a slim install. Compare Quicktime.
I'm not saying I like the business model, but that is why the technology has succeeded.
And in Denver 85 is common. The high altitude reduces knocking. Here's an interesting post about octane, power, air density, etc:

I do not see the good documentation you claim.

Good political arguments which you ruin by accepting BS on the collapse.

Outlook is MS's killer app.
But WinXP is not available on the least expensive Dell's. The cheapest laptop, home or business, is $499. Vista only.
