Muskeg is why they don't build much in northern Canada and Siberia. Whereever there's Muskeg (pretty much anywhere you'd want to put a train track) you have to dig down 30 meters of sloshy mud and fill the hole with gravel. If you don't dig to the bedrock, your train engine may just sink entirely into the peat.
I suppose they could build on concrete pilings like the elevated LRT systems in cities, but then the load would be limited.
Unless things have changed in the few months since I stopped admining a mail server, most DO NOT do any verification that the email was actually sent. At one point last year our server was experiencing serious slowdowns because some spammer was trying to send thousands of phishing emails, all of which were rejected with the standard "550 We do not relay". We just ended up adding their botnet's IPs to our firewall reject list.
Just tweak the timings on an 80Hz CRT so the electron gun is only covering 1/125 the height of the screen. Run at 15x11@1000Hz mode. No problem. You could probably set this up with XVidtune or the right xorg.conf Mode lines.
On a related note, glxgears says it gets "6690 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1337.819 FPS" on my box, which isn't multi-core.
It depends on what you're doing with the computer, and what hardware resources are available. Out of memory is bad. Very bad. On systems which have oodles of RAM, I tend to give low or no swap; on systems tight on RAM I may give 10x or more the amount of RAM.
Here, "oodles of RAM" and "tight on RAM" are very dependant on what the system's being used for. For a home NAT gateway 64MB may be oodles; for an image processing station, 1GB may be tight (especially when dealing with medium or large format photographs).
My desktop currently has 1GB RAM and 8GB swap, since I work with 100MPixel 16 bit images when I'm not working on hundreds of 14MPixel 16 bit images at the same time.
Correction: We can't verify that some foreign government or corporation isn't spying on us if we use closed-source software. Also we can't translate the software into croatian ourselves, but have to wait for the vendor to do it.
This negates everything written above it. Real rights aren't dependent on the 'will of others'.
Actually, it doesn't. He's talking about activities on private property. On private property, the owner or their representative (security guard) may ask you to stop taking pictures, and if you don't comply, ask you to leave. If you refuse to leave, you are trespassing at that point and the constabularies may be called in.
It's the same principle as the convenience stores that won't let you come in with a mask on (even on haloween), or if you've shoplifted before. Or restaurants and clubs that enforce a dress code. Or the people up the street who won't let you into their house at 3am. Shopping malls etc are private property, and the owners have every right to say who may be on their property, or to tell someone to leave based on their appearance or behaviour or anything else they feel like. The only restriction on why is certain criteria forbiden by rights legislation (ancestry, religion, etc in the US and Canada).
These principles stand in most common-law countries (UK, Canada, US, Zimbabwe, India, etc).
Here (Nanaimo, BC, Canada), I've had big arguments with several malls and grocery stores about it. One grocery store now has lockers where customers can lock up cameras if they don't want to leave them in the car, Two malls have reversed their policy on photography (now take all the pictures you want, but don't publish without a model release, and stores may have their own policy), and most just don't seem to care unless you're taking pictures of the security cameras or price tags).
It helps to be rational and respectful when discussing the issue and don't get unruly. If confronted, say you'll stop taking photos (and do), and leave if you're asked to. Carry a small portfolio of your street photography; it may put them at ease to see what kinds of things you're photographing. Absolutely do not let them have your camera, film, or memory, and don't delete the pictures. They have no right to ask you to do this, only to tell you to leave and refuse to let you publish. Come back without your camera and discuss the issue with the administration to try to have their policy reversed (or staff educated on their real policy). It also helps if you or someone you're with is an executive or influential member of a sizeable local photography club. Point out the camera shops in the mall that will have customers bringing their equipment in. Also bring a portfolio of your street and other photography. Once they know you're a serious photographer and not some schmo casing the joint, they'll be much more at-ease.
Nikon has cameras with Wifi, both point & shoots and Professional dSLRs. You could stash a laptop with cellphone modem & wifi in a nearby location and automajically upload to the world.
I'm still going to teach my kids to duck and cover.
Sure the bert the turtle cartoon was over-simplified, but it was directed at 6-7 year old children.
It's not just aplicable to nuclear incidents.
Near-by transformer shorts out?
There's a big flash. The split second it takes to duck and cover may save a child from being hit by debris
Near-by lighning strike?
Ducking may reduce the chance of the child being struck (more applicable on the prairies than where I live)
SWAT team raiding the crack-house up the street?
Taking cover when you see the flash-bang may keep a kid from being hit by a stray bullet.
Industrial accident nearby?
There may be secondary explosions or flying debris; best to take cover
An actual nuclear detonation?
If you're still able to duck and cover after seeing the flash, you might be far enough away to survive the blast if you take cover.
I've long wondered how many amber alerts are not for missing children. Train everyone to go "omg think of the children", and you can use it to find political dissidents at the drop of a hat.
It reminds me of a scene, I think from 1984, "Attention all citizens, there is a criminal running through the streets..."
Maybe this has happened; maybe it will happen; maybe it's just the muscle relaxants talking.
If so, why aren't you running a dedicated controller?
Because if your dedicated controller goes you have to find the same make & model of controller. On no notice. Possibly a few years after that make and model has been discontinued.
With software RAID-5, any controller that works with your host bus (PCI) and HDD bus (ATA, SATA, or SCSI) will do just fine.
If you were actually producing (or finding) the stuff yourself, you might have done better.
Discount stores and mail-order retailers are flooding the market, but (some) independent artists, antique dealers, rare-book dealers, etc are doing quite well.

Vague, or incorrect?
"Ill" is vague; "Puke mucus" is incorrect.
No, it's debilitating stomach cramps, then extreme flatulence followed by diarrhea.

I'm on stable (except for media-libs/libdv media-video/cinelerra-cvs and media-video/kino), and it works for me.

I use spam.com because I trust it to
Le Voila!

By the time it's on slashdot, it's too late to short sell.
(I have used this method)
Study after study has shown that cheap CD-R's are a horribly unreliable medium for long term data storage.
Higher quality DVDs should last the few months that the backup will be current for.
Exactly why I don't use updatedb.
It really does depend.

Dell, HP, etc are free to make their own commercials.

The immobilizer cuts off the starter circuit. It has a manual transmission, and hence can be push-started easily anyways. Thanks, BCAA, real useful.

Must've been running an OpenMosix cluster.
Nanaimo, BC, Canada artist Richard Hoedl ( Canadian surreal oil painting landscapes ) makes most of his income from selling his paintings on Ebay.
He (and his web contractor ;-) ) is working on a site to teach artists to make a living from their art. It's not ready to go live yet, but progress is fast.
If you were actually producing (or finding) the stuff yourself, you might have done better.
