"* The other group of musicians harmed by the overlong term is those whose work is forgotten -- orphaned by society. In these cases, either the label still holds the copyright but won't reissue the musician's work (Universal's Decca warehouse in London holds the entire, unreleased catalogue of roots music, back to steel cylinders, and Universal hasn't even catalogued that collection, let alone made plans to re-release it); or no one knows who hold the copyright, because the deal was done so long ago."
As a Blues fan this irritates me no end. Surely somebody can work out a business plan that doesn't require Underpants gnomes. Even if it is a large upfront cash payment from a DOTCOM escapee - just to catalogue the stuff - pay a music historian to at least document what is there.
Given most of a rockets loaf is fuel then life support, there isn't a lot of room for cash so where does the money go?
Ah to all the workers on the ground, the contractors and companies supporting the space program. Who also pay tax.
Who will need roads, labs, reliable power, schools to get educated in, homes for their families and so on.
It won't "trickle down" or "lift all boats" necesarily but a viable space program might be a good investment for India (or any country) in 15 to 20 years, and the ancillary benefits should be good.
"I'm pretty sure we'd see it, unless it were all black" you are probably right there - drop it back to 2 * pluto avg distance and seeing it would be a dodgy proposition
"If we really incist on saying that it should be a circular orbit," http://www.solarviews.com/eng/solarsys.htm Down the bottom of the page - eccentricity = 0 for a circular orbit so even that doesn't work - Pluto and Mercury would well and truly fail at >3 * average ecc of those planets in that table including themselves.
If we found an earth sized object but at 90 deg to ecliptic would you change your definition? At a Pluto like distance it could be out there - too dark and small to detect.
I am running ff v3.0 (nightly - ie cvs HEAD). Slashdotter doesn't want to play. Yeah one of the risks of the bleeding edge.
Is this likely to change? Is there anything I can do to see what the problems are? Or is it just a that v3 has a different enough API that it won't work.
"but this just seems like an overly broad license to spy." Not that I wouldn't put it past little johnnie and friends to go "overboard".
But any closed loops may be of interest, don't forget the ip addresses and other data the wrappers are carrying.
Some said you can't read it all - agreed. But some good data mining software and a Mk1 eyeball, may find patterns - time of day, closed loops, etc that supposedly may be the justification - if any of the people do become persons of interest.
More likely it all goes into the big archive to be dredged out when thay decide to create a smear file if you rub them the wrong way.
Apparently it also takes out other "Desktop" stuff when you do this, and some of that needs to be added back when you do for a functional desktop, exactly what it takes out is unclear as it part of the base package.
The documentation I have found is not clear on this.
I want to remove Evolution from my Ubuntu install but still haven't found a good guide to doing so.
Did I miss it in my searching. I did look at the Ubuntu forums a month or so back have things changed since then? There were some instructions but it didn't seem complete.

In our house we don't go that far anymore - we get postal ballots sent to us and send it off.
More important things to do on Saturday than wait inlong queues and eat badly bbqed snags.
Sounds like you tried hard.
Thanks for the effort.
Blame me - my submission had the ABC and the csiro release highlighting the video.
Rejected of course.

Don't forget the blinking lights.
Light still is faster than electrons.
Call me when I get Orac for my Desktop.
I half agree with you.

I suggest you look up RPF's comments on gene technology.
If this prize spurs advancement to what he thought was possible it is worth it.
Short summary - it will become cheap enough for everyone to get profiled (for good or bad).
Plenty of mountains in Papua New Guinea and lots of gas for energy in the ground and it's near the equator.
Getting the locals can be done.
spaceweather.com does a pretty good job of finding, collecting and linking to all this sort of stuff.
Not complete mind you. I doubt anything ever will be.
Apply to work for slashdot - Taco is hiring read his journal
Affiliate program?
I try and hang out at fantasybookspot.com when I have time.
They have affiliate links to amazon, B&N and whoever (as well as ads).
Go check out the bandwidth specs required for the LHC at CERN.
Not sure if there is anything easy enough for a casual programmer, but there might be if you can handle the data flood.

Why within 10deg of the ecliptic?
Historical property known "planets"?

So if OBL has one of his Aussie "B" mates posts a comment to /. then the Aus gov can snoop on you?
/. for legal advice, blah blah blah.
Anyone want to read the act and give a verdict on that?
IANAL, don't ask
Most likely the act is broad enough cover that.
Don't forget Aus is friends with the big E. So yes they can trace you.

Microsoft will now also know who and what you connect with and how often

If the firewall admins are doing their job they should see a different useragent string on their logs as your traffic passes through the firewall.
Even if the program is on a CD or USB drive.
User Agent Switcher (a ff extension) may help here but is not proof againt a truly paranoid security admin.
read the documents 007 authored on hacing and security ?
Anyone have the links to hand?
Do they have any useul information?
The article doesn't give the links and I haven't been able to get much from google as yet - 5 mins - yes I am lazy on a Sunday night.
About the time the movie is released.
Try seventeenorbust.com - x86 only though and the source code for the main part is assembler
