Yes, he did. An approximately 180-foot tower attached to a 10-foot tesla coil, somewhere in northern Canada, would be able to effectively cause resonation in the Schumann cavity (area between the earth and the upper atmosphere, I believe). Unfortunately, since it IS resonance, the entire world would be enveloped in a mounting electrical field, and, without devices to bleed off that field, we would all die from electrocution.
Hmm... Roger... can't say the name rings any bells, what was your I2Hub nick?:P And yes, the chat was a lot of fun - I left once I found out what was happening (a week or two ago), and it's one of those things that just doesn't hit home until it's gone.
I was one of the ops on i2hub, and it was used for many legal purposes as well as the file-sharing. It will be missed, but RIAA can't get us all, no matter how hard they try.
They have the wonderful position of not having to listen to anyone, because they're getting a ton of money from their "stupid" strategy. Sure, everyone hates them, but Joe Public thinks pirates are bad, or would rather trust someone else with taking care of his/her rights. **AA just have their own short-term interests at heart. Smash and grab, that's all it is, or in their case, smash, grab, legislate, repeat:\
The key phrase here is "because I've agreed to a license that removes such liability." If you want software that won't be broken into by script kiddies, then don't buy the stuff that CAN be broken into. It's the law of supply and demand. If you don't want the software, you don't have to buy it or accept the license. Fact is, if you have a lab experiment that may be wrong, nobody's going to have children perform it if they have to sign a "you could die because we make mistakes" waiver first. The bottom line is, you get what you pay for, and if enough people want software without such licenses, then they'll have to stop buying software WITH such licenses. If you agreed to the license, you really have no room to complain about what happens afterwards:\
I believe you're talking about Trillian (trillian.cc). It integrates AIM, Yahoo, MSN, ICQ, Jabber, and IRC together with email capabilities, all in one app. [/shamelessplug]
I use Gmail, and about 15 spams a day get through its filtering. Plus, my REGEXP filter rules catch another 25 and send them to the trash automatically. Ergo, Gmail != perfect:(
I agree, it's just not StarGate without RDA... The show faltered when they killed off Daniel too, which really shows how the cast works best as a whole. Atlantis is shaping up fairly well, not nearly as cheesy as it was the first couple of episodes. The visual work, especially the aquatic element, is stunning (Apparently they have the SG-1 team doing the effects for Atlantis), and while the Wraith may be a rather cliche Bad Guy(tm), it makes for a decent set of plot points. Hopefully, if they don't make a season 10 of SG1, at least they should make a few movies...
I have 300GB of data on my system. How would you suggest I back that up? 60 DVDs? 320 CDs? >40 tapes? Spend 300$ or more on hard drives to back up the data onto? Seriously, with the large amount of media content on today's PCs, finding mass media cheap/large enough to back it all up can be a real challenge.

It is a back door, in the sense that they have to get past the guard dogs and watchtowers before using it.

I enjoyed that analogy... :D

There is a prominent "Contribute" link on their download page... If you don't have paypal, don't click it though.
Just my two cents...
The rovers were sterilized to prevent precisely that from happening.

It's called Yahoo, and the messages are called Offline Messages. Quite a nice concept, in my opinion.
Ah, the good old days of wax disks with displacement-encoded audio data...

Don't get me wrong, I love FarScape, but you can't say Galactica has more sexual references, because it just doesn't.
I for one find his sig quite refreshing. FireFly was one heck of a show.
So THAT's how we won the war... We poured tea into the water right above that improbability calculating machine.
I can see it now... "Toaster Worms" that burn "0wn3d" into your toast in the morning. How... charming.

Yes they can, all they have to do is put a Bat Utility Belt on it, and *poof*! Any instrument they could ever need.

Blood cells can be based around copper instead of iron - It works just fine for oxygen transfer. So, green blood is a scientific possibility.
HiDownload captures video/audio streams. With a little work, you could save any CNN video you wanted.
A certain character from Austin Powers, I believe :P
