Go two weeks cold turkey and you're free. Drink lots of water during that time.
One word of warning though: if you're injured afterwards, avoid "Tylenol #3" if at all possible. It has a lot of caffeine in it (to keep you from falling asleep due to the codeine). "Ratio Emtec 30" is the same thing (acetomenophen and codeine) but without the caffeine.
The 1.81 per capita Elections Canada budget cited was for a non-election year.
The budget for the year of the last general election was not readily available on The Finance Department's website when I tried to find it (it was listed with many other programs as "Other" in the Annual Financial report, and the budget seems to be devoid of concrete figures).
Maybe there wasn't actually any syn packets... how hard would it be to make 700 Million ACKs with random destinations and sequence numbers? Doing so would only claim half their bandwidth, leaving them still up but able to cry loudly about being knocked offline by a SYN flood.
Actually, depleted Uranium is what's left over (almost entirely U238) after they make enriched Uranium (3% or more U235), which is used in reactors (Excluding CANDUs, which use unenriched Uranium (0.7% U235)). Depleted Uranium isn't very radioactive; Enriched Uranium is. That's why it's usefull in reactors and bombs. It splits easiy.
I'd be very surprised if NASA was planning on using anything other than Highly enriched Uranium, Plutonium, or a combination of the two.
Also, a reactor running at equilibrium has a constant radiation output. The concentration of Uranium declines as it is fissioned (including the U238, which undergoes fast neutron fission). The products of the fission (Xe140, Sr94, Cs140, Y94, Ba140, Zr94, La140, Ce140, etc), while generally not fissile, are still highly radioactive.
In this instance, I'd be less concerned about the radioactivity of the spent fuel than the toxicity and radioactivity of waste at the mine and enrichment facilities.

The OpenCores project includes JTAG, NIC, RS-232, PCI, Memory, etc resources. it's pretty complete. My guess is that a substantial amount of the real-estate is open-sourced.
Why wait for someone else to bring you broadband? Why not build it yourself? Get together with your neighbours and form a cooperative to bring in the line, then set up wifi repeaters with yagi antennas for the last mile.
"Indians" were cross breeding corn with corn. Transgenic canola cross-breeds canola with fish. The transgenic canola is patented. Canola, whether transgenic or not has airborne pollen. So neighbours of farmers with transgenic crops have been sued for patent violation for planting their own seed.
There are two immediately obvious options on our mail server. Halfway down the back of the case, there's a blue cable with an RJ-45 Jack, and at the top of the case there's a black cable with a 3-holed trapezoidal plug. Unplug either of these, and you'll block 100% of spam coming into the server.
About 1986 I was living in Fort St. John BC, Canada. It had been a bitterly cold winter, but it was now spring breakup. As I was walking home from elementary school along a dirt road I looked down and saw a watch with no strap in a puddle. I broke the puddle free with a rock, took it home, and thawed it out in the kitchen sink. As far as I know that watch never stopped working; I lost it in about 1990.
It seems anti-spam vendors are saying companies could be sued for emotional damage if they don't block spam.
I don't know about the UK courts, but I could just see this one going to court in Canada...
Plaintiff: Someone outside the company emailed me an ad for porn and it hurt my feelings so much I suffered a financial loss. Judge: You clearly have psychological issues that are not the fault of your employer. Seek counselling. Case Dismissed.
1. Standardize on the programs installed(By default. The whole point of Linux is flexibility). That means no more KDE-vs-Gnome wars, Mozilla Thunderbird/Firebird(KMail. if it doesn't support OpenPGP, don't even go there. It's hard enough trying to explain to people why they need encryption let alone how to install it.) Internet access programs as standard, and most likely OpenOffice (Gnumeric and AbiWord are a whole lot faster and prettyer) as standard. I hope the Linux Standards Base project will aim for such a standard for "base install" of Linux
2. It MUST have widespread hardware support. That means it supports the latest graphics cards, sound cards, network cards and I/O cards at full functionality of the device.(I agree, but except for Video cards, it's already there. the hardest thing right now seems to be prying specs out of Video Card and Scanner manufacturers)

Someone else got my product to market first.
By internal to the harddrive, do you mean inside the sealed platter housing, or on the circuitboard attached to the drive housing?
It doesn't take fission to fling reactor fuel pellets all over the place. Especially when it's in a vibrating supersonic vehicle at high altitude.

Umm, yeah, I pointed out exactly this in This Comment in reply to your comment on the other thread.
me too!

You can get the Tarball from OpenCores, and the compiler and hardware from xilinix, altera, Lattice Semiconductor, etc.
Is any publicly traded corporation not greedy?

Try googleing for terms like "rural 802.11 cooperative".
Count me as annother Canadian who knows noone who refers to them as ABMs.
Also, most of the chartered banks now charge a surcharge in addition to the interac fee if you don't have a card from that bank.

Here's annother one...
Ever notice the weight of a "pound" of coffee?
Most of them are 300 grams. Not 454g (1lb) or 500g (1/2 kg). 300grams.

ya had to go announce this on slashdot, didn't you? now I've got no chance to win that Dual G5.

Essentially it's a templated license where the owner selects what terms to use.the options are:

I'm not sure, but I think he was referring to a desktop.
