As forkboy said, diatomaceous earth is horrible for your lungs. It's used in some commercial pool filters, since it filters out all sorts of yucky stuff you wouldn't want in your pool.
It's used in residential pool filters too. Our pool has a screen filter which won't do anything without it. Has to be flushed and replenished every few months.
I was wondering about those little cars... I saw a broken one and it had a tiny cylindrical capacitor, maybe 1/3 the length of a AAA battery, which said 1.2F on it. I couldn't believe it!
How would everyone feel if car manufacturers put limiters in all their new cars that prevented them from going over 75MPH, so you wouldn't be able to break the law (at least on Interstates)??
That's probably why the game includes Invisiclues.
Actually, you had to buy the clue books seperately, at least when the game was first released.
And the game was terribly difficult. I managed to finish almost all of Starcross without the cluebook (I did need it to understand the chemistry problem as I had not had chemistry yet).
Starcross was later given Infocom's "Advanced" rating (indicating their hardest games), but HHGTTG was MUCH harder for me.
I'm seeing some mail stuck in queue on our SMTP server due to remote "TLS handshake failed".
We've been using TLS with sendmail for 1.5 years, and this is the first time I've ever seen this error.
Remote server seems to be using some MS mail server (Exchange?):

they used a new trick developed last year to squeeze more detail out of the camera
Why don't they just use the equipment all the police & spook shows/movies use to enhance crappy video so well that you can zoom into a 4-pixel person until you see the pores on their face??
:p

Wow... True insanity.
Most (all?) "communist" governments retained control through facism and/or totalitarianism.
Facism and totalitarianism are both (ultra) conservative philosophies.
As is the patriot act.
So maybe it should be:
BTW, I went to high school with this guy. He didn't seem insane then, but he didn't talk that much and I didn't really know him.
The A10 is more resilient, but planes are also much harder to hit than helicopters as they travel much faster.

Most cars are limited at 130 because HR tires aren't rated to go any faster, and manufacturers don't want to be liable if the tires come apart.
However, that is different than making the car unable to speed.
E=MV^2 would be more appropriate.

It'll still fool most vending machines.
I still don't think you should be prevented from scanning or printing stuff that looks like money (for advertising, art, whatever).
Then they should indicate that in the list of features.
If I bought Photoshop CS 3 months ago and just found this out, I would be PISSED. (I work in advertising)
It'd probably be too late to return it.
Images of money are used a LOT in advertising.
DRM is not just about money.
No, it's about Adobe covering their ass. (from perceived potential liability)
So this game is what you get when you try to herd cats in Russia from Santa Monica?
no it's dub-yuh! (like George Dubya Bush)
There have been proposals in the US for a maglev from Anaheim, CA (near DisneyLand) to Las Vegas.
It would cut what is currently a 4 or 5 hour drive (much worse on some weekends) to less than 90 minutes.
There is currently no train route at all from CA to Las Vegas, so the only current alternative to driving is flying.
Disney was pushing it, but they didn't want to pay for any of it; instead they were asking the city of Anaheim to foot the bill. As if.
The I-15 freeway is saturated most weekends, and is currently being widened. This could probably be avoided if there were a train.
May the fourth be with you!
IIRC, the newer 5900's are NV38.
As long as it's cooled adequately, running a chip within it's design specs WILL NOT ruin it. ever.
Convection, no?
- Comes with inline remote with LCD (can do everything you could with the main unit afaik)
From the pictures I've seen, I only saw a Play/Pause and Stop button on the remote... is that not right?

Other concerns:
Can it be upgraded to support new formats (next ver of DivX or whatever)?
If not, can Linux run on it (Freevo or MythTV might be nice)?
How much?
It might use SMB (Windows filesharing protocol).
