I don't want to sound like a moron around a bunch of smart folks but, there are things that can live without air.
My question is is there anything that can live ON OUR PLANET in a vacuum.
Call me lazy, but i don't feel like research tonight.
Inquring mind want's to know!
Teach me!
Google suggest is too busy.
It will make a nice crutch for some but won't help. How many times do real typists forget what word they are typing?
Did WORD's predictive code help? Kinda; but all that good, NO!
When I'm not slinging software, I cook at a local restaurant. It balances me out and makes me very popular in the office when i bring goodies in for the office parties.
Being an alum of the LOC, you are correct. there are 5-7 buildings that i know about and they ALL serve congress and the people.
I know personally how the whole operation works.
Nothing like it and i don't quite think anything will.
When Apple had a Mac with the "HYPERDRIVE". Remember it? Don't? Well i won't be surprised, it normally blew out everything. HD,Floppy etc...
I've been using and building computers for 20+ yrs and my first computer was a TI-99.
Second: Commodore 64.
Third MAC 2E (i bought it used, so no HYPERDRIVE)(fav game was The Art of War)
Cracking a Mac case is NOT a COOL thing for me. I was Cracking Mac cases when i had to lug that obnoxious square bag around DC.
MAc's and Open Machines have been looking alike for a long time. I have to admit that i would love to have the speakers on most of them. Hell just go to the San Diego Supercomputing center and get the thrill of your life!
The first thing when you get in is a MAC and rightly so.
As a person who loves PC's because some person won't charge me $100.00 to $150.00/hr to look at my stylish MAC I will always love them for their efficiency and beauty. Adobe started somewhere and it was on a MAC.
I'm typing on a PC right now and will do so until something else that I can fix pop's up. BTW I can crack a Mac case anytime i want.
What's the use of buying something that your are paying for in the first place? Hell stick a CD in the player if you want to hear something specific.
THis XM stuff is going too far to the wild side.

I had a Palm M130 ( the first color one) and i got it because I did not want to carry around heavy books. Back in the day, the only thing around was the Franklin E-book, that sucked and it did'nt really do all the things that i wanted it to.
So i bought the Palm and fell in love with it almost overnight!
As a Desktop and now Tower type, i laughed at a puny hand sized handheld. I was curious and i admit i was incorrect.
I think for almost a year i was attached to this thing! I started wondering what was wrong with me. I had admittedly limited use of WORD and EXCEL but it did all that i asked of it and more.
Bored Reading email? Play a game or read a book.
Hell i read all of Sherlock Holmes, Harry Potter, William Gibson's Neuromancer series and more on an M130, riding around town using the DC Metro and over here in San Diego now. There was nothing i could do to get that thing away from me. It was almost like the RING from LOTR ROTK. And i thought servers were bad!
That poor PDA croaked while i was doing a job here in SD building the new Ballpark and i accidently left the IR port open and it got fried. I almost cried when i realized what happened.:-(:::
I think Handhelds have proven their usefulness to me and, because (to me); everything electronic does not have to do every doggone thing on planet Earth just to be popular or useful.
We have had a few accidents here in the country. We also have not built a new reactor in 20 years as well.
Security is like an onion, there are many layers that have to be peeled to get to the center.
I noticed you mentioned Richard Marcinko, a person i have worked with and who can get into anything.
He proved it a long time ago and got arrested for it but he did what was necessary to keep this stuff safe.
I can tell you that there are always 2 sides to a point and that folks DO get angry about their job situation ie, Bosses, work going on, the folks you work with on your team etc...
They try their best to do what they have to and it is very hard and dangerous work.
People also get angry about work and slam things that they don't like and that's ok as well as long as the material stays safe. Hell, FBI screwed up this week on something that could compromise our national security but we, the common person, won't hear about it until the Primary.
The material has to be put somewhere and it is vital we take every precaution to make that happen. THis is the reason why secrets ARE secrets and not to be told.
Where, when and why something of this nature is being moved needs to be kept behind closed doors!

I wonder if anyone told the lobster to go fuck it's self. Please forgive this.
WHO STOLE MORBO's FOOD!! I will eat HIM!
We are talking about outer space correct? I am going to be the devil's advocate on this one.
I meant SPOT the french satellite.
Just asking......

I'm wondering if there isn't a little aggrandisement here?
Tell that to Harry Truman.

I was watching this damn volcano since it first hit /. the last time: http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/09/3 0/1235218&tid=103&tid=1&tid=14
It was here before us and will be here after us.
THat's a fact.

One of those few times that /. get's beat out by the US press.

Your'e correct. I was half asleep when i wrote that. I do know better than that.

This is an extraordinary website. I admittedly worked for them at one point. But this site has absolutely NO SPIN!!
Check it out and see for yourselves voters.
