I thought I had heard about liquid sodium reactors in subs, and a little googling indicates that the original Seawolf nuke back in the 50s had an experimental sodium reactor (third email there).
The design proved less than completely successful in service. (The sodium in the primary loop of the S2G soon became far more radioactive than an equivalent amount of water, it tended to burst into flames on contact with water (another reason, besides it being hot -- both thermally and radiologically, that leaks were BAD News!), and it could not be completely shut down (as the sodium metal would then freeze inside the reactor and primary loop -- more Bad News!).
The Soviet Union may have stuck with sodium, though...
This turns the traditional "free rider" problem into an advantage.
How exactly? What forces the free riders to assume the cost burden of open source development? Is there an open source tax that I'm not aware of?
IANAE, but AFAIK traditional free rider problem would involve a public good that everyone can exploit provided by some subset of the population that has some sort of cost involved in providing that good. Open source development is still costing the developers something, regardless of the fact that it may be for the greater good.
This is not the same Judge Jackson, not the same court, not the same state, and not the same finding. It is, however, the same nation, so by all means let us distrust judge Norman Jackson because judge Thomas Penfield Jackson talked to the press too much.
I think you miss the point of Eliot. He may have stolen the cadence of a nursery rhyme to finish off the Hollow Men, but that is not to say that that poem was neither unique or creative.
It's not "information," it's unique creative works that are protected. If you want to protect your "information," you keep it secret as best you can. If you want to share your "information," you copyright your work and begin publishing it. People can use your "information" but cannot copy you verbatim.
So far, computers are good for teaching children how to use computers. They are not a panacea for teaching any other subject. For some, they are a useful tool-- you can proofread English papers, do research, and math more quickly perhaps-- but they have generally not meant that students learn these things to a greater degree. In that sense, computers "in the classroom" is a stupid idea on par with a mimeograph in every classroom. If you can afford a classroom with a $70,000 teacher at the front, the teacher is the better learning facilitator! In areas where computers actually help, the computer is the classroom.
I couldn't find the source for the "non-classified" bit... These things are often not used for simulating new bombs but for, "evaluating the stability of the nuclear stockpile." Does research into whether the yield of our cold war nukes is down or up a few kilotons qualify as non-classified?
It is definitely the size of several dozen libraries of congress and will pass withing a few moon units. However, scientists can predict its path to the less than the width of a human hair, so do not fear.
There have been attempts to unionize IBM workers through the Communications Workers of America. This may be more attractive for non-salaried than salaried workers, but they're shooting for anyone not in management-- doesn't matter how "white collar" your job is.
"BayStar's letter did not provide specific information regarding SCO's alleged breaches of the Exchange Agreement. SCO is attempting to obtain specific information from BayStar"
I'm hoping Baystar provides hardcopy of all 20,000 shares and 20,000 copies of the Exchange Agreement and declares, "It's in there somewhere, we just don't know where yet!"
I once heard a lecture from some overpaid consultant type who talked about asking prospective devs to bring code samples to an interview. Anyone who brought copyrighted code from an ex-employer was given a lecture and shown the door. Pretty harsh, but perhaps a good screen if your highest priority is anal code-retentiveness.
Yeah, I'd actually been in the habit of hiking extremely long distances-- half dome being a moderate hike by my standards because of the moderate vertical pace and really excellent trail conditions-- before beginning running. But, on the other hand, my sister ran a marathon in her first year of runnning after a few lazy years after college. (nuts!) The reason *I* started running was just because I realized staying in good enough shape for telemark skiing and 30 klick hikes on heinous New England trails was tough while working full time-- I don't have aspirations as a distance runner, just more aerobic activity. I think being able to stay off the asphalt and on soil for significant sections of the bike path I run on has also saved me some grief. I certainly I had some new aches and pains, though.
If you've never run before, start short, keep it to less than 2 miles for the first year.
YMMV... that seems way, way too cautious. Maybe if you're middle aged and have been completely sedentary for decades you'd need to be so cautious, but as a moderately active 20-something who gets a day job and realizes babysitting a CRT M-F and occasional weekend activity doesn't maintain good fitness, going less than two miles barely gets your heart rate up for any significant period. I certainly haven't trained for a marathon or even a 10K, but there's no reason not to scale up within reason depending on your training.

Gotta love the joke in "security related web sites effected" also. Are they trying and failing?
Perhaps that's why it's in beta. Nothing like a few thousand users gaming the system to let you know what heuristics you'll need to apply.

Where there are high taxes, teacher's unions, and 25-year teaching careers.

Here's a nostalgia-filled site dedicated to the Dartmouth Time-Sharing System A bit out of data, but interesting to see the BASIC compiler in some GE assembly language from the early sixties.
The murderer! What, are you going to euthanize the stupid because they waste your time?
Err, nevermind. I can't count.
Six semicolons.
Oh come on, Blotus Notes v6 is waaay bigger.

So that's what starts up when I mistype mv.
Maybe Niagara will or won't outperform Power5. But will it outperform BlueGene?
I was thinking Double-D.
