Taiwan, which lies on a seismically active stretch of the Pacific basin, was hit by an earthquake measuring 7.6 on the Richter scale in September 1999. The tremor killed more than 2,400 people and destroyed or damaged 50,000 buildings.
I find the best part is the high risk of earthquakes. Could you possibly try to temp murphy any more.

Its funny, how people actually believe that they can make these systems a viable alternative to the traditional punch card system. I am surprised that these systems were ever even allowed in the first place since there is no papertrail. And I hardly think this will be the last time that such unscheduled and unapproved patches are loaded onto the system.
And thats not even touching upon the election results.
Not even building a supercomputer becomes teh issue. Remember when Apple came out with a new computer that they boasted couldnt be exported to certain countries. Eventually at the rate we will be going most desktop computers will be supercomputers, so will the rules either change, or will these countries not be able to buy new computers?
well wont that be one for the tech support to have fun over. Just wait and microsoft will come out with a cheaper version with out all the features, which they will call Internet Explorer.
I remember reading about that technology (however was unable to find the link). The general concept behind it was that our car antennas when tuned to a specific radio frequency actually emits RF signal. This can be picked up and disseminated at close range, and subsequently they can identify the radio frequency that you are listening too. This could be used for other frequencies in the radio spectrum, however i dont know how effective it would be.
And of course it will be a million dollar idea. Just throw out that this could be used to combat terrorism, and you will be rolling in dough.
I am still using an apple macintosh IICX. Put a little extra ram in it have it up to 32 megs, external hard drive total of 1.1 gig hard drive on it. Running 7.5.5 not the fastest thing for word processing but after tweaking the system setup boots in like 15 seconds.

me thinks they are afraid of competition. Doesnt work well with their business strategy.
even better, it says its running a microsoft product, i am waiting till the first virus run rampant on their network.

quick someon mine this and give us the refined knowledge that the article has
Yeah but the system i am sure wouldnt randomly vote... remember computers are only as smart as the people that make them.

Good job apple in struting its stuff in the windows market.

just wait till one day when big brother gets really bored and categorizes the slashdot effect as a denial of service attack
