I got a pair of Beyerdynamic DT231s from www.headphone.com Great service, great price, I reccomend them.
They've lasted me 3 years of hard use and sound great. I can just make out the phone ringing with them on and music at reasonable levels.
Office chatter is completely gone. I did have to get one of the monitor mirrors...but I tend to tune out everything when in deep hack mode so it is of limited use.
Well, I know that Virginia does NOT require a blood test, and I doubt that Nevada or New Jersey do either. Marriages can be conducted by proxy in most places...this is most commonly used by active duty military personnel who can't actually show up for the ceremony. Good luck!
I haven't seen this mentioned earlier, possibly because the required frequency is used for something else in Canada...but try LMDS. It's line of sight, I think, but the range should be sufficient. Look here for more info. http://www.lmds.vt.edu/
I AM a materials engineer, ceramics don't corrode/react much at all. They are the low-energy form of metals/minerals. Using a loose defination, rocks ARE ceramics.
Well, this is sort of off-topic, but if you are also looking for comm-gear, the Cobra FRS-3xx radios are pretty tough. Will withstand short immersion and a couple of drops.
If you ever visit the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Portugal, check out the building supports...they're Titanium. The metal was purchased, all at once, when the price of Ti was beneath the price of Al. Admittedly, this price inversion lasted only about a week...
There is basically a VERY bright lamp that is shown through a number of colored LCD screens. The Plasma displays work similarly. Electroluminescent displays emit even less...
Any of these is much better than the electron gun in the back of CRTs. (basically a small particle accelerator..)
Of course, if you are truly worried about radiation poisoning: never fly (cosmic rays), don't get X-rays (X-rays), stay away from cinderblocks (alpha-emitter), ditch that glow-in-the-dark watch (radioactive), discard you're smoke detector (radioactive), stay away from the Northeast (radon, radioactive)...oh hell, just leave the planet beacause a couple of years ago, a satellite with a nuclear reactor onboard burnt up on re-entry and spread plutonium over the entire planet, of course, interplanetary travel opens up another can of worms...
I have seen one of the Caddy 2Ks with this tech. The viewing "window" is at the bottom of the screen and is about 6" by 12". The resoultion is indeed rather poor. You can make out cars and such. People just show as blobs.
While the thought of applying these rather broad categories to schools makes my blood run cold...I fear when they are applied to the rest of the world even more.
For example: The FBI's standard-issue serial killer is white, male, late 20s to early 30s, very intelligent, quiet, a loner, and usually not happy with his job. How many of us fit that description?
Of course, I doubt serial killers read slashdot...but better lock us all up just to be sure.
Neither the article nor the previous posts brought this up...
The K7 was designed from the ground up for SMP.
If you doubt it, just look at the specs for the pins on top of the cartridge. They are expressly for multi-processor systems. I *think* they allow processors to be connected to each other DIRECTLY.
If in doubt, buy a Matrox. The boards are top notch and will take anything you throw at them. Also, they are often the first ones supported...on anything: Linux, *BSD, BeOS, Windows 95/98/NT, etc.
Another thing is that they produce good image quality(yeah, I know, that's subjective...) and the signal stregnth from the card is or is close to the strongest in the industry. No more worrying about EMI. =)

You may want to try the Cybertool from Victorinox (I think). I know Gerber makes a tool with a crimper (for exposives work...).

Beware of massive powerstrips and old houses that aren't quite up to code. It IS possible to trip your circuit breaker before your spike bar goes.
We use Isobar products at work. They're pretty indestructible. (of course, the truly sensitive equipment has its own transformer...)
At home, I have 2 spike bars and a UPS to run my rig...admittedly, not all the outlets are used.

I visited a Ti foundry and bar mill last year, they recycle every little scrap. Of course, the price of recycling is far below buying new material.
On a side note, I now have a real cool paperweight...a small piece of 2" Ti rod.

you forgot one...
Beryllium dust causes Beryllicosis...one of the more unpleasant ways to die.
It's sort of like Black-Lung disease, only not so pretty.
No, it's not exactly a joke...although pricing plans vary.
You (generally) pay for the time you spend on the phone, regardless of wether or not you placed the call or are recieving the call.
It's because everyone is into wavelet compression now...
If I remeber correctly, Compaq cases already do this.
Alternatively, get a set of sheet metal cutters and a Dremel and DIY.
LOJACK works by emitting a homing signal. A set of 4 antennas on the top of a car allows for triangulation.
They emit very little radiation...

A couple of months ago, the crazies at HardOCP managed to get a Celeron 300a to run "stable" at 600Mhz!!
Of course, their cooling rig was a work of art...water-cooled TECs...
Check out the official BeOS compatibility list

If my college team would get off it's @ss, we'd be in the top 10...over 500 G3s in one lab alone...just sitting there 75% of the time...

Jon, while some of your writing is boring to me, I really enjoy most of it.
Many of us take the internet for granted because we use it so often. Thank you for opening a window to the world of the non-email addict.
Keep up the good work!
