It is very useful to humans because some of these "critters" live inside of us. Also, if we study how these bacteria live in such harsh environments then we may be able to develop ways of sustaining human life in such harsh environments.
Microbes thrive in the harshest environments
Research findings give scientists hope of discovering life on planets
Scientists pondering the possibility of life on distant planets have discovered colonies of earthly microbes thriving in more extreme environments than any they have found before.
-- Bacteria are busily reproducing in the total darkness of water- bearing rocks 2 1/2 miles deep inside a South African gold mine, where the rocks themselves have apparently been isolated from the outside atmosphere for about 400 million years.
-- Other bacteria, frozen into chunks of ice in a Washington laboratory, have thrived inside a high-pressure container and went right on reproducing after they were exposed to pressures equivalent to life at the bottom of an ocean 100 miles deep.
The search for these hardy microbes on Earth -- known to science as "extremophiles" -- has been a high-priority project for NASA space planners, whose unmanned planetary probes have already been seeking evidence of life on Mars as well as Europa and other ice-covered moons of Jupiter.
DEEP PROBE
And the NASA spacecraft called Cassini, now on its way to explore the ringed planet Saturn, will be sending a probe deep beneath the thick atmosphere of Titan, one of Saturn's major satellites, to learn whether some form of life -- or at least life's essential chemicals -- might lie on that mystery moon's surface.
Scientists have long been wondering just what kind of life they might expect and what kind of unearthly conditions such living organisms might be able to withstand.
Until now, researchers in NASA's Astrobiology Institute, whose headquarters are at the Ames Research Center in Mountain View, and also at the nearby independent SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) Institute have speculated, theorized and experimented with various concepts for life in extreme environments.
Other scientists have already found microbes thriving in deep mines, in the boiling waters of Yellowstone's geysers, in the sub-zero dry valleys of Antarctica, in the saltiest of brines and the driest of deserts far from any water at all.
At the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco this week, where nearly 10,000 scientists have gathered to report research in every discipline from space physics to seismology to oceanography, some of the scientists were reporting on the possible conditions for life in outer space.
BACTERIA IN DEEPEST MINES
Tullis C. Onstott , a Princeton University geologist reported on the international team that found the bacteria living in the bottom of the deepest gold mines in South Africa.
The mines' rock formations, Onstott said, are about 2.7 million years old, and vast quantities of salt water circulate through them at temperatures of about 135 degrees Fahrenheit.
The scientists drilled boreholes into the blackness of fracture zones in the rocks at the bottom of those mines to obtain more than 100 samples of water and gas, and they found bacteria there thriving on enormous concentrations of hydrogen that provided them with energy for growth, Onstott said.
In another report from the Geophysical Laboratory at the Carnegie Institute of Washington, Anurag Sharma described the "interesting effects on cellular physiology" that he and his colleagues at the institute observed during their experiments with two species of bacteria under high pressure.
INHABITANT OF HUMAN GUT
One species was the common Escherichia coli , well known as an inhabitant of the human gut, and the other was Shewanella oneidensis, which the Department of Energy hopes to use in its efforts to clean up uranium from contaminated wastes at the old World War II Hanford reactor sites in Washington state.
Both species, Sharma said, were exposed to extremely high pressures inside the water cores of ice blocks and continued healthily reproducing after the ice was thawed and the pressure was reduced to normal.
This is very true. My friend goes to Villanova and he spends $32,000/year and they give him a laptop. His laptop is the biggest POS ever and it just sits next to his desktop in his dorm room. He wouldn't even take it out of the closet if it weren't for the fact that some classes require that he bring it.
Easier to lock down, yes, but once it is unlocked it is VERY easy to steal. If you saw someone walking out of your office with a desktop you would probably ask questions. However, if you saw someone walking around with what looks like a cd-rom, you would let it slide.
I agree 100%. I think that Timeline was his worst work because it has the content of a 1:45min movie. It has everything you said times ten: no real development, violence, etc... When you read Timeline you can sense that the movement is on pace with any summer release blockbuster film. This is not what a book should be, this is blurring lines with drama.
At least Airframe made some (weak) social commentary
The method replaces the typical laptop heat sink -- a chunk of metal that absorbs heat from circuits and then gives it up to air blown by a cooling fan -- with tiny liquid-filled pipes that shuttles heat to pre-chosen locations for dispersal. In the heatpipe loop, heat from the chip changes liquid -- in this case, methanol -- to vapor. The vapor yields up its heat at a pre-selected site, changes back to liquid and wicks back to its starting point to collect more heat.
I wonder if this would have any use outside of computing. Methanol sounds like it has properties that would be very useful in automotive cooling. This is a very big problem facing mechanical engineers. Is there anyone who has a better understanding of methanol or this system that could discuss its other applications?
I use Pro Hosters and they are great. No, I don't work for them and they don't pay me to endorse them. My hosting is fast and is never down. They host on many different servers (cluster hosting i think they call it) so they are never down. They fun *NIX servers and will change or install anything you want. Good stuff, I hope this helps.

Is this like clicking on that attachment that says "I_love_you.vbs" in Outlook? Or should the computer produce some sort of audible warning on mouse-over?

Now you can pretend you care about what they are saying and not just listening for the sweet intro music.
The Google voice search is used to search Google by telephone rather than online. This doesn't search through voice/audio records for matches.

A plane landed on the bridge but I have never heard of one going under it.
Because even if they find them, New York probably will not allow them to disrupt a major US port (as mentioned in the story).
Maybe if the RIAA digs deep enough they will find some real pirates.
So are we looking at another example of BugTraq giving out the exploit before it can be fixed? IIRC this has been an issue with BugTraq in the past.
They would just hack it and get free calls anyway "Pa Bell"
Yeah, I could give my money to these people who will fight the scourge of the corporate world...or I can make a twenty minute phone call!
Wait, i'm reading Slashdot, that means that I don't have anyone to call, so i'll just give my buck to the EFF instead of Terry Bradshaw.
and that's OK because it is your day. However, tommorow we expect thumbnails, 3 different resolutions/compressions, grayscale and ascii art renditions. Thanks!
And pictures are found online, along with some video.
Oh, not those kind of videos? Well crap...Congrats Anyway!
But now all of these poverty stricken students can cruise the net on their laptops while they walk down the hallway seemlessly migrating through an extensive...oh wait your right. Maybe Adobe can get these kids some eBooks to go with their cool network?
So, he interviewed you before the surgery?
can you say hippieeeeeee?
All I want for Christmas is to stop being jewish, you insensitive clod.

No, I think that he means the sides that are glowing red. Right?
