Yup, the good thing is that the much maligned police was able to catch the idiots, before they could use it. Consider that Tim McVeigh used about 2 tons of ammonium nitrate to blow up that huge building, then 144 tons of the stuff would have been quite spectacular. How on earth anyone can use 250,000 hand grenades for peaceful purposes is also beyond me. Maybe old Nelson tipped the police off way back in 1964 and actually deserved that peace prize in compensation for all those years in jail. We'll never know, will we?
No, but if he was the leader of a terrorist group, collected 250,000 hand grenades, 144 tons of ammonium nitrate, tens of thousands of mines, ran an illegal radio station and served 27 years in jail for all of that, then they would elect him president, give him a Nobel Peace Prize and honourary citizenship of Canada...
will do - I have had this problem at a dusty plant. Just give it a plastic dust cover and cover it up when you leave, or when you are sawing wood or similar.
You know, we are an HP shop. We ship 30 to 60 HP servers per month - so whenever I ask the Dell rep to get me 5 servers, we get fantastic service from them. Never had any trouble with Dell, just great service...
to me always implied deltree/y c:\*.*, so deleting files is nothing new, we are just lucky that most computer vandals are not complete computer anarchists.
There are many metallurgical issues in electronics: Tin whiskers and Copper Black Death are two of the most prominent, though they can be prevented with a proper coating. Anyhoo, who cares if a cell phone stops working after 3 years due to tin whisker growth? By that time the battery is dead and the technology obsolete...
Yeah, though killing 120,000 plus people in 5 minutes is rather more catastrophic than religious fanatics fighting each other in a desert for 2000 years...
"I'll set up a windows box for you, and i'm betting if I dont ever let you change it in any way - it will still be working just fine many years down the line" - Provided that you don't ever exchange data with any other computer, via network, floppy disc, CDROM etc...
I know where you are coming from - I am using many MS Windows PCs and most of them run WindowsME, but the maintenance is high - virus scans, adware scans, Linux firewall, Linux mail filter. If I compare the amount of maintenance required by the WindowsXP desktops and compare it with the Linux desktops, the difference is simply beyond belief. I never have to do anything to the Linux machines and Linux servers can run for years without maintenance - they are like refrigerators - just keep going. That is quite simply impossible with any kind of MS Windows.
I always thought that silicon transistors are transparent - OK, more translucent than transparent, but make them thin enough and they should be transparent. Silicon trannies have been around for decades, so what is new about this idea?
At the rate the Dollar is falling, it will soon be about $100,000 and $200,000 respectively. Once the Dollar has fallen another 50% or so, those oursourced jobs to India will come back...
About 105 years ago during the Anglo South African War, the ZAR forces fired a single bomb into the besieged town of Maffeking on Christmas day. This was odd, since the Brits and Boers never fought on religious days - never on Sundays and Christmas was unthinkable. When the British soldiers went to investigate and defuse the apparently dud bomb, they found that the shell had a traditional English Christmas pudding in its casing.
You don't understand the real purpose of the space station - it is there to have a real pair of human eyeballs watching for a missile launch. It is a final confirmation for the super powers that somebody is up to no-good, before they launch a counter strike and kill millions. The scientific stuff is secondary and to keep the guys from getting bored out of their skulls.
Hmm, they could not use a GUI, since it requires a mouse and everyone knows that the moon is made of cheese, so taking a mouse to the moon would have been a total disaster...
Nope, even Apollo is long gone. King Constantine retired all the old Gods in 325AD at Nicea near Naples and defined the Trinity to take their place. Only Zeus, Mercurius and Demeter survived - oh, and Isis - she survived too, Contantine didn't want to kill her and her cute little baby, but in return for continued worship, the Gods were morphed. Constantin caused such divine confusion, that the collective memory of the Western World still haven't recovered...
"how come with all these fantastic options I can't even just draw a line"
Oh, man, yeah. I'll give my left mouse click for a tool that can draw a straight line with the Gimp.
I usually resort to painting a fat wrigly line, then using a select box and eraser tool to create a straight line, then I copy bits and pieces of it to where I need it.
Does anyone know of an easier way to create straight lines with the Gimp???

Put the drive in the freezer overnight, then try again the next day. You'll likely be able to read all the data before it warms up.

Well, geezuz, plumbers must use silver solder. 'Silver is a little more expensive, but it flows really well...'

Its full of bricks!
Well, at least that is better than: "Noah's Ark Discovered! Noah's Ark!!!"
Why stop now, just when I'm hating it?

The Vatican announced that rumours of misuse of the buoy database is totally without merit...

Both. In the US the unwashed masses own PCs, while in the rest of the world, most PCs are owned by the educated few.

Hmm and if you are caught carrying more than 10 bits of spam, we put you in prison as a spam dealer?

They have the right to do anything that we are unable to stop them from doing - that is Catch 22.
