Check the manufacturer's web site. Hard drive manufacturers are usually pretty good about listing these things, but as a rule of thumb, a 3.5" hard drive will draw 20 watts starting up, 10-15 during access, 5-10 while idleing, and 1-2 when spun down.
Actually, that depends on where you are in the US. I've been reading up on the definition of auto theft in various states, and I've found some very surprising things. The only consistent part is that, if you take a car with no intention of returning it, it's auto theft. Joyriding is not neccessarily a crime.
I believe the first reference to the UK as an "unsinkable aircraft carrier" was by Roosevelt during World War II.

It seems to me that the reason we haven't seen any new instances of terrorism in the US is because they've been provided with a much easier, more tempting target over in Iraq.
Was it? I haven't seen the movie, but the distinguishing feature of the early SGI boxes was the paint scheme: the Indy had a medium blue paintjob, while the Indigo was either purple or sea-green.
By the definition of NP-complete, if it applies to one, it applies to all, as any NP-complete problem can be transformed into any other NP-complete problem in polynomial time.
The problem with scaling that sort of ornithopter up is that the wing shape is capable of generating thrust, but not lift. The only reason it's able to stay in the air is that it flies in a strongly nose-up attitude, using thrust to overcome gravity.
How about the wheel? There are a few unicellular life forms that use rotary bearings for flagella, but I don't know of anything that uses a true wheel.
Since it's dead, you can put another satellite in the same slot with no problems -- five degrees works out to about 3000 miles of separation. There's plenty of room to put up a new bird with no chance of collision.
Waiting for the orbit of a geosync satellite to decay is pointless -- at that altitude, orbits are stable for potentially millions of years.
1) I could use an old 486 however much I wanted, whenever I wanted, for whatever I wanted. Note that this computer didn't have a modem, and was situated in the family computer room, where anyone passing by could see the screen. 2) I could use my parents' P133 whenever nobody else was, but I had to ask if I wanted to go online, as the modem shared a line with the phone. 3) If I wanted to download porn, or other "disapproved" activities, I had to do so using a computer I purchased with my own money, using an internet connection paid for by me, and I had to find room for the computer in my bedroom.
what is this mysterious/. error? i dont deny it, but FF-1.0 + Fedora 3 doesnt show it.
It's a race condition between the page downloader and the page layout code, so apparently it shows up most often for people with slow connections. It causes the category bar on the right to overlap the article text by a variable amount. Currently, it affects all released versions of Mozilla and Firefox, but is fixed in CVS.
Oh, and one thing that definitely does help are manufacturers trying to boost sales of overpriced accessories through fear: the usual pretense is that all of this wouldn't have happened if the user hadn't bought a third party battery. Sure, that's it. And the third party battery is inherently unsafe why exactly, assuming it is? To the best of my knowledge, I suspect if it's true, the major reason is that any safety mechanisms built into the manufacturer's batteries are proprietary and, for the sake of making a fast buck, the manufacturer isn't divulging them.
Actually, it's because the safety devices built into manufacturers' and reputable third parties' batteries are expensive, on the order of $1-$2 per battery. For the sake of making a fast buck, the cheap battery manufacturers don't include them.

Back in the days of MS-DOS games, the "Pause" key would -- guess what -- pause the game! A very useful feature.
Splat-wing?
Head over to findlaw.com and check out the various state legal codes. IIRC, Colorado is one of those with legal joyriding.

With sDSL, they usually don't complain if you saturate the connection 24/7, and they have no objection to servers.

A cracker/black hat hacker is someone who breaks into networks with a malevolent intent, or anyone accused of cyber crime.
Conversely, a white hat hacker is someone who breaks security for altruistic purposes.
I think DDOSing spammers is altruistic, but there's an argument for malevolent intent, so there needs to be a third category: Vigilante Crackers.
The term for this I've seen is "grey hat hacker".
It isn't sugar (or carbs, or fat, or protein, or cellulose, or anything else) that makes you fat, it's consuming calories faster than you expend them.
Actually, it's a pretty long trip from saying "smart people should breed" to saying "sterilize idiots".
(a x b) does not equal (b x a). For example, consider the vectors:a x b = [-1, 2, -1]
b x a = [1, -2, 1]
NP-Complete is a subset of all NP problems. There are a few other subsets of NP that I can't recall off the top of my head; maybe it was one of them.
Is this proper color management, or just three-channel gamma?
By the definition of NP-complete, if it applies to one, it applies to all, as any NP-complete problem can be transformed into any other NP-complete problem in polynomial time.

My parents' rules were very simple:
1) I could use an old 486 however much I wanted, whenever I wanted, for whatever I wanted. Note that this computer didn't have a modem, and was situated in the family computer room, where anyone passing by could see the screen.
2) I could use my parents' P133 whenever nobody else was, but I had to ask if I wanted to go online, as the modem shared a line with the phone.
3) If I wanted to download porn, or other "disapproved" activities, I had to do so using a computer I purchased with my own money, using an internet connection paid for by me, and I had to find room for the computer in my bedroom.
Grokster is even better.
An acquantance of mine has good luck with Tesla coils.
