To go along with the UV ink, a UV flashlight. Also, some good earplugs. Those are $10 and good enough that you can really enjoy loud music without going deaf -- they are not like the crappy foam ones.
well, partially (the process is close) but the idea is to get a single, playable CD with as durable a construction as possible. metal and glass rather than foil and plastic, and so forth
Of course, you should be careful how you store those (vertical or horizontal), considering glass is really an extremely viscous fluid.
An offensive name for a Jew. Hence 'shonky a.[1] (see quot. 1951).

Postgate Verdict of Twelve i. v. 75 - Let's have a bit of fun with the shonks. 1951 Partridge Dict. Slang (ed. 4) Add. 1168/1 - Shonky, adj., mean; money-grubbing: late C. 19-20. 1981 W. Haggard Money Men xv. 174 - `Brighton?.. It's full of shonks.'.. `Which means there are hotels with night clerks.'
Of course this may mean something completely different in Australia. Well, I'd hope so at least, or the IIA just offended a fairly large number of people.
You'd be surprised at how far a half-watt can travel. Lots of amateur radio operators work the world by bouncing signals off the atmosphere's ionized layers at power levels under 10 milliwatts. That'll give you some idea of what range line-of-sight travel through the vacuum of space can achieve.
Sure, but there's also the inverse square law to worry about. I really doubt that current human technology is capable of recieving such a signal much farther out than our solar system. Infact, radio and TV broadcast signals that have passed out through the atmosphere into space are probably what aliens would run across first, considering that such signals start out at many thousands of watts, at the transmitter.
Have I mentioned that they're SLOW? A 166 mhz Multia is a LOT slower than a 166 Pentium. *MUCH* slower. Can't say that too many times. *MUCH* *MUCH* slower
Nope. Infact, the chip in the 166mhz multia is a bit better at floating-point than a 166mhz Pentium. On the other hand, I agree it is much slower in practice, using GCC and Linux. This is largely due to the lack of good Alpha-specific optimizations in GCC.
This is one of the main reasons I went back to doing my unix computing on an i586-linux box. The other being the inconvience of the Multia's small case, requirement for parity ram, etc.
FYI, I believe that there is a card you can drop into the Palm Pilot's memory card slot that gives it pager capability...
That's fine, if you don't mind the fact that it has no non-audible way of notifying you. (i.e. it just utilizes the Palm's beeping, there is no vibration-emitting device)
"Forever" is quite a long time. I thought that the time you could be sure properly stored tapes would good for is around 20 years. However, I agree that decent scsi tape drives are a good method for periodic backups. They're just not good for permanant archiving.

And one of the really neat things they have at the Museum of Science and Industry is the U-505 U-boat
You still haven't really isolated that variable. For example, what about 45 versus 5?
I'd suspect that the average customer queue is somewhere in the range of 15 movies. (Just a half-assed guess on my part).
If so, both 45 and 300 are a relatively large queue, whereas 5 is a small queue, I'd say.
if you want a couple simple (but challenging) arcade-style games, try NS-Shaft and NS-Tower from NAGI-P Soft. I prefer NS-Shaft, of the two.

This wouldn't really be a problem if people judged others on other basis than what groups they are a part of.
