It's a shame that your post is so far down here and probably won't get the recognition it deserves. Even in our modern, "always connected" world, shit can and does still happen. Even to POTS which is regarded as one of the most reliable of our modern communication infrastructures.
As a Lincolnite, and as someone who has needed 911 services a few times in the past couple of years, I found the 911 outage last week to be terrifying! Once the hams scrambled to their locations, I genuinely felt much more secure, and I'd like to express my thanks to them. It was this particular occurrence that made me really want to get my license.
Not only heat but the specific spectra of light that reach below the water surface. Seems to me that affecting the surface reflectivity would by necessity change the light that reaches into the sea, and who knows what effect that would have on photosynthetic aquatic plant life.
...and yet you somehow got modded a troll. Damn kids these days don't know how to moderate around here. I'm with you, fellow 600k UID'er
I suppose it wouldn't matter so much if/.'s metamoderation still worked like it used to. It's a sad day in/. history when a 600k UID is considered old...
I had the exact same idea for an idea-sharing website. I finally admitted this to a friend of mine, after a few months of "beating around the bush", to realize that the notion of an idea-sharing site was not nearly as novel as I had thought!
AFAIK, the idea still remains unimplemented. I'd be down with contributing ideas if you decide to go through with this...
I sure hope to hell this thing sticks around! Good ol/. was getting a little bit stale.
Actually, I hadn't logged in for a few months, and thought the new, insane interface in general was the gag.

Don't have links, and too lazy to look, but I've seen stories of just this sort of thing happening, and it's actually really fucking frightening.
Mod parent +5 informative. Think about it. Arguments to the contrary would be well welcomed.

Please mod the parent up. The more people that know about public domain sheet music, the better.
It could be argued that the old "Simon" game was probably the first electronic "music" based game. For those who never heard of it, Simon

Fear not, Comrade. You have nothing to hide. Remember, Suspicion breeds Confidence.
Ohhh, them's fightin' words, bubba. ;-)

My friend, the question of where to draw the line is, as I see it, the most important and most difficult for any element involving society...
Hmmm. That makes perfect sense. Perhaps several years too late, but still.
The problems with DMA continued well into the XP era, particularly with optical drives which would often reset to PIO mode for no apparent reason.
...Or the drive is faulty, or the drive controller is faulty, or the drive's driver software is faulty, etc...

yea, they are amused by the quality of the images on the screen. I sense an advertising opportunity for HDTV manufacturers here!
I need to quit posting here whilst drinking.
