that's pat robertson's address! don't go associating such an upstanding member of the community with your EEEEEvil homosexual ways! I shun thee! and rembember always the words of Leveticus 19:19 "...and no cloth woven of two fibers shall come upon thee."
Maybe it's a little bit offtopic since the article was about network tv, but I'm still suprised to see that nobody's mentioned Adult Swim. I'm also a college freshman, with a tuner card in my pc that gets dusted off exactly once a week: sunday night at 11. Everything else is crap, even most of the cable networks now... what the hell happened to Discovery, TLC and the like? All you see there nowadays are "In Search Of" ripoffs and english car chases.
I'm pretty sure I saw a few machines in the lab in Hulk that were running some manner of unix... One of them showed a boot screen, I think it was some form of BSD
"VeriSign's core infrastructure services continue to be organized around the company's two core services areas:
Internet Services Group
* Security Intelligence and Control Services - Strong authentication, network, application and commerce security services for thousands of enterprises and hundreds of thousands of websites. The Security business unit also provides payment gateway and fraud protection services for close to 100,000 online merchants.
* Naming and Directory Services - DNS database management and resolution services for approximately 30 million digital identities, including the authoritative directory for all.com,.net,.cc, and.tv domain names. The unit also provides Digital Brand Management Services and DNS Assurance services for large enterprises with complex domain name and IP addressing portfolios."
well, when I got to college a few months ago I was trying to think of something that would take full advantage of all the bandwith at my disposal and decided to do hands on comparison of the major linux/unix distros. So I dowloaded and installed them (already had SuSE though), and just never bothered to go back and delete the partitions. I guess I just have self-esteem problems that I choose to resolve through mild trolling.
Oh, btw:
Mandrake sucks, Red Hat is kinda so/so, I haven't gotten X working with debian or gentoo yet, and ports is possibly the Best Thing Ever.
So then I got bored and decided to push WFWG to the limit. If only I had an older video card...
Ohh Yeah. I remember back in '97 my 8'th grade science teacher gave me an IBM PC original model complete with monitor and 84-key buckling spring keyboard. Booted straight into BASIC, good 'ol amber monitor... but anyway. The point is, that was my first exposure to a spring keyboard. I remember being impressed that the keyboard weighed more than the monitor and was very disappointed when I couldn't get it to work with my 386.
But I had experienced the bliss of springing, and I was hooked. I spent the next 6 months trying to track down a 101 key model M locally (finally did, too... using it to type this right now!)
And then my best friend got an IBM Thinkpad R31. I got hooked on the eraserhead pointer and had a dream about a keyboard combining the tactile response of the model M with the efficient mouse-at-the-fingertips of the trackpoint. Amazingly, THE VERY NEXT DAY one of my friends was cleaning out her closet and found not one but TWO!!!! IBM Trackpoint 2 keyboards. And she was even kind enough to let me have them... I use the Trackpoint on my DEKA-BOOTING (FreeBSD, Win2K, MS-DOS 6.2,Win3.11, SuSE 8.2 Personal, RH 9.0, Mandrake 8, Debian 3.0, Gentoo, and Knoppix) primary box now (athlon 2400+, 512MB DDR2700, 80GB HDD) While the Model M soldiers on for my great-grandma's pentium 166 (I'm not dissing, she really uses it) and will always remain a classic, it's second best to the Trackpoint in terms of pure functionality (IMO)
I'm pretty sure I heard about something just like this a few weeks ago. Was it just a proposal for this project or someone else doing the same thing? Anybody?

I wonder what protocol they're using (I wanted fp so I didnt RTFA yet)
Oops. I would like to apologize for running off half cocked and giving an incomplete answer before gathering all the data, I was working off the numbers given in the news article and had in fact had questions about that being the total impulse or per-second average, but just jumped to the conclusion to both provide an answer faster, and to diss canada. I would also like to thank RedWizzard, Forged, and some anonymous coward for correcting me and then brutally putting me back in my place.
According to the letter code used by the National Association of Rocketry ( http://www.nar.org ), each letter has twice the power of the class before it and a "D" class engine generates between 2.5 and 5 lbs of thrust. The article claims 2,400 lbs of thrust, so by doubling the power range until it includes 2400 it is revealed that this would be an "L" class engine.

If you don't have an Xbox Live accound why on earth would you have a connected network adapter anyway?
blargh... damn them... I will find the GNAA's evil headquarters... there will be much destruction...
Fuck the GNAA trolls!!! I got here first and I'm willing to accept the inevitable karma hit that it entails... :-(
