It depends on the size of your document base, and how you're going to store it -- if you're using something industry-strength like Documentum or Hummingbird then the Google Mini won't index it, you have to go up a notch and use the yellow box solutions. And if you're using Lotus Notes, you'll need a third party crawler such as C-Search. Google Desktop can be bent into some solutions, and it's free, but for many users you're better off having a separate server do the indexing. Google bills on the number of documents you need to keep in the index at once, and they throw in a bit of tinware to support that on a 2 year contract.
Disclaimer: I flog Google search solutions at work, so I'm way biased.
It's getting worse -- I drive by a building every day that proclaims "Systems Intergrators" in large and expensive signage. It kind of hurts to see it.
I want to stop this unmanaged fishing of languages before they all go extinct! Where's my big rubber boat? Let's stop these language trawlers and hit them where it hurts!
Shades of my late best friend Bob Long (W6QBN) who veered into computers because someone who knew a bit about electronics was needed to fix the old LGP30's and SDS 930's. If he hadn't known what he did about radio I would have never learned that AM transistor radio trick -- put it on top of the memory register and listen to your program compile ("it's sorting its symbol table now -- hear the loops? Bubble sort too, sounds like"). Best way to instrument your code back then.
I do not wish to sound condescending nor am I attempting to troll, but I would diffidently suggest that you are more likely to become the boss yourself if you upgrade the quality of your written communications. It has a real impact on people who might otherwise promote you. Perhaps using an open document window on the side for scratch text, then running the spell checker over it before you paste the reply? Genuinely trying to help here. It's clear you have the dedication to succeed, now all you need is the wrapper.
I find it unsettling to categorise people in any way. I find that once you've categorised a person it's very difficult for them to exit the box they've been put in, and all other dealings with that person tend to relate only to that categorisation, forcing them back into the box.
To find categorisation of humans done by algorithim, often a poorly-proven one, is returning IT back to the era of dehumanising machinery in my perception of it (a difficult place to be, since I've been in IT since 1969). Also because of my real name being one of those which-gender ones, I get miss-targeted far more frequently than my humour tolerance allows.
The Algorithms should be challenged, because they're affecting our life without recourse. I want to push back a little. If I'm having difficulty with this with the strong IT background I have, what's it doing to the minds and feelings of people with less knowledge of how the system works? I suspect there is a huge pool of people becoming increasingly frustrated by it, ultimately to vent their frustration in mis-targeted but ultimately effective ways. Scares me a bit sometimes.
There's a whole planet spread out in pieces between Mars and Jupiter. Should be a few lumps of sub-critical mass in there you can mine.
I kind of agree, kind of disagree with your assertion about the reasons why people would go into space. Right-wing? I don't think so, necessarily -- unless your definition of right wing means people who are most easily influenced. Your equation is cogent but your coefficients are wrong, I think.
It isn't right-wing so much, I'd say rather that it's the category of people who are capable of being inspired by an inspirational leader. Kennedy wasn't right-wing, but he effected the space program as a reaction to the Soviet space successes (ok, the Soviet Union was slightly to the right of Atilla the Hun, despite their bolshie-leftie origins. You score a point on that one).
The point is you need a critical mass who sense a need, and an inspirational and visionary leader as an ignition source in an environment of social awareness heightened enough to form a response. I'd put my money behind the one with the best rhetoric.
Or how about this? Find a way to determine that the stone in the centre of Mecca is chemically identical to a rock in the Asteroid Belt, and you'll have millions of people with a new interest in recapturing the scientific advantage they had a few hundred years ago.
Ok, I think I need to go home now and pop a couple of tinnies before my metaphors get any more mixed...
It also seems less effective on people suffering from HPD (hamminess personality disorder), who may be thrown about much more violently than people less drama prone
Ah you might not mean Interial Compensator, but rather Heisenberg Compensator.
Ah, impulse power. I think early trekkies explained that as more of a Dean Drive (one that dumped half the inertia into a form of parallel-universe oubliette thingy) rather than the fusion "digit ships" of Footfall, which tended to buzz a bit. Some interesting speculative weaponry comes out of Niven/Pournelle books.
My guess is that it turns around about half way during the trip to start slowing down.
Wouldn't necessarily be half way, we're not talking linear vectors are we? If we're playing catch-up with a planetary target the crossover point might be a bit later than km/2. It's more expensive to escape the closer you are to the sun's gravity well, but I'd think a lot of the energy would be soaked relative to the velocity of the target, i.e. there may not be as much energy to dump near the target. Space ain't flat, found that out from my office mate who was doing the orbital geometry for Pioneer Venus 12/13 some years back (which had the inverse effect, being inward from EO).
I don't know why he kept a separate set of comps in furlongs per fortnight, but us programmerz was wierd back then.
I'm still able and willing to think about things truly abhorrent and unacceptable, because these things still exist even when I hold the pillow really tight over my head. How else to avoid them? Genocide exists, even today. I hate it. The first wrong step is treating people as things, or as the "(ethnic class) Problem". From there it's Welcome to Nightmare City.
I read a neat American document once, can't remember which one off the top of my head, but the beginning was something like "When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another..."...should be able to Google the rest. Old document though, don't suppose people refer to it any more, probably not relevant but the language sounded nice.

I thought it was because they added 100 to 486 and got 585.6777475772 ?

Josephson Junctions! Now that's a name I've not used for ... mmm, well, since before you were Bourne.
Since I can't see you, you simultaneously exist and do not exist.
Nope, that's simultaneously ambiguous and insufficiently ambiguous. The CQBC simultaneously is and is not in the server room until observed.
Excuse me don't excuse me, Ah Clem, you have made the doctor unhappy happy and will be asked to leave the future immediately.
Sigh... turn in your card. The correct answer is "Very well, thank you!"

What's the upgrade path from Slashdot?

Hey, vectored thrust via springy, leaky magnetic fields -- this puppy can be dirigible. +Insightful, Ungrounded_Lightning, nice idea.
If hydrogen was solid, you wouldn't be vapour, matey. You'd be a very thin layer of graphite.

Actually full marks go to PJ. Groklaw rocks!!
