I dunno about you, but I sure as hell wouldn't be comfortable leaving my social security number on an interlibrary loan form.
And no, you klutz, they don't detect it psychically. They have... other means.
I don't think this is neccessarily a valid connection. These are(mostly) huge bands that have been around for a long time, which means that they a) are likely to charge a lot more per ticket than a newer band and b)appeal to an older audience which(arguably) is more willing to spend a lot of money for the occaisonal concert.
Wouldn't a company have even more to gain than just money from NASA by using similar technology to win America's Space Prize? Maybe someone can correct me here, but it seems like it would be feasible to complete the two missions with similar enough technology that the two applications might offset the cost.
I'd like to add to this that bridges heights were determined by the height of a truck carrying nuclear missiles. This truck had to be able to pass under a bridge.
Check out Vintela Authorization Services It provides full integration and synchronization between Linux and Windows AD. We use it where I work, and it greatly simplifies things, so that for example, if a user is created in the AD, they can use their Windows credentials to log on to our Linux server.
Why is it so difficult to get retailers to start carding everybody for games?
Why is it the retailer's job to watch what the kiddiez are doing? It isn't that hard to pay attention to ones kids' enough to know when they buy a new game and to check it out. One might even do something crazy and *gasp* spend some time with them doing something they like, like playing their games. Then you'll know exactly what you're kids are playing and can make an informed decision, rather than relying on someone else not only to make the decision, but enforce it.
To further your point of, "If I want an opinion on windows or linux I will damn well use them both and figure out which one I prefer."
They've got this thing called a search engine these days. I hear you just type in what you're interested in and it'll give you pages that talk about it. I haven't tried it myself, but I hear they work pretty well. You could probably even find information on the windows versus linux debate there too.
I, for one, am tired of hearing the constant flamewars about windows on slashdot. We get the point, you like Linux better, it in some ways is better. 'nuff said, move along.
I hear the Windows 2000 Beta is almost done. Just a couple more years and we'll get a Gamma. Microsoft is pioneering a new product development life-cycle where instead of going from alpha to beta to RC, you just progress through the whole alphabet where Omega is "just get used to it."
But if a customer modifies the source code, [Red Hat] can't help you [without charging you extra]. They have to lock things down to provide value," Matusow said. "As open source becomes commercialized, it becomes less open."
Perhaps. But even so, the end user remains free to make changes. Even if the license (oddly) prohibited redistribution, supplying the source code to software with the software itself will always be better that not. Closed source is a dead end. End users have no choice, they must rely on the vendor to issue security patches and fix software.
As a cheater, I can say honestly that that is a very effective way of cheating. If no one notices, no one cares. But I cheat to piss people off, not to win the game, so it's no fun that way.
I cheat in online games, I'll admit it. And I'm also a jerk to everyone in the game whenever possible, and I'll tell you why.
I LOVE to see peoples rage. I love it when the people who are playing honestly and seriously explode at me, "OMFG MODOR N00B CHAETER". I love watching their inability to spell anything right in their rage. I love ruining the thing they hold so dearly and take so seriously. And I love mocking their seriousness with my friends.
I also love how superior to me it makes them feel to proclaim that "OMG U SUX SO U R A MOTOR" and how they've been playing that game since they were an uncombined sperm and egg, and that if I had been too I wouldn't be a "MODER N00B".
I love their assumptions that I am cheating because I lack skill. I do lack skill, sure, but I know that cheating doesn't make me skilled, nor does it make it up for my lack of skill. I don't care, that's never been what it's about for me.
Finally, I also love their contradictory proclamations of how great they are, which are followed by strings of one-letter online abbreviations. (i.e "U R a...") And their string of non-sequitirs mixed with ad-hominems regarding a wide range of topics. (i.e, my mother's sex life, my sex life, my lack of skill, my lack of intelligence(I can't count how often I've been called "DMUB" or "RETRADED"))
As a user of a terrible terrible internet connection, and a user who doesn't have the choice of getting broadband, I think if satan was a program, he would be flash. Webmasters who don't have the brains to allow me to bypass are just begging me to leave.

This thing about finding pr0n sites unoffensive is really an interesting topic, and in a way, is really what this whole issue boils down to. Because some people find such sites offensive, they think that this is a widespread belief (and I'm not neccessarily saying that it isn't). So then, this begs the question, who gets to set the standards for the rest of the world, those who are easily offended or those who aren't?

Hope that clears things up for everyone.
This article summary, and also most comments posted so far, are total misinformed garbage. You're mom!!

There are all kinds of risk cones% tegame, finalconquest, turborisk, etc, etc.) Couldn't he just change the name and keep going like all these otherS?
Pfft, they've had this for ages, it's called a wife! Thank you, thank you, I'm here all night.
We've spent billions of dollars on levees for New Orleans, yet one small category 3 hurricane is all it takes to breech them.
Actually, the levee's in New Orleans broke because they were underengineered and poorly maintained (see here)
Furthermore, just because those particular levees broke doesn't mean the entire technology is impossible or infeasible.
In fact, it would seem levees are used in quite a number of places and have been for a long time, with relatively high success rates.

Who modded this funny?? This is a serious matter, I'm not laughing.

Way to miss the point. They're not doing it because they should, they're doing because they can. [For the modpoints] You insensitive clod!!
Yeah, Google's cool, not like that Microsoft. Microsoft is doing the oppposite of whatever Google is doing that's cool.
Clearly the person who modded this informative didn't actually bother to click the link.
Yeah, that way is doesn't get fatter as you age either.
I just tried that, and it totally doesn't work. My cat's dead now thanks to you. DEAD!! I'm suing you for emotional anguish!
Hmm.. screen reader built onto Firefox? Notices when stuff changes. I could build that.
No you can't, I just filed a patent on that. My lawyers will be contacting you shortly.
