"Global", I'd guess that's following the same rules that make your domestic baseball contest into the "World" Series.
When will you Americans start to think about the fact that there's a world outside your borders? Some of which, like the UK, are still using a tried and tested paper ballot for their voting system.
... Tony Blair's government will be forcing me to have a CCTV installed in my toilet next. We're already at the point where you can't fart in the street without it being recorded and shown on those hidden camera shows.
The Chart played on Radio 1, the UK's most listened to station, and will be a regular feature.
I can't agree with that comment. I never listen to Radio 1, I always tune my car radio to the nearest local station. If you add all the listener figures for the local stations, you'd find Radio 1 is a minority station.
The problem I have with this is that skippy needs fuel. He's going to be burning extra calories pushing that little alternator that the folks have sneaked onto his wheel.
Is the cost of those extra sunflower seeds and the extra grain cheaper than driving this alternator with an internal combustion engine?
What happens when skippy gets bored, he'll have more food but less excercise - who's going to pay the vets bill when skippy gets obese?
Will this cause or prevent heart disease in skippy?
In Cricket, that funny game played by Poms, Kiwis and Aussies (among others) a zero score is known as a duck. To break one's duck means to have scored, at least, one run. So SCO are claiming to have sold, at least, one Linux "licence" down-under.
Recumbent uses the leg muscle groups in a different way. If you compare a club road biker to a recumbent rider (of the same ability), you'll see a marked difference in the size of the quadriceps on the recumbent user (much bigger).
With the right set of gears a recumbent rider can ride at 40 mph on the flat. I'd love to be able to maintain that kind of speed on my road bike.
Could something like this eventually be as common as the bicycle? I, for one, think it would be pretty cool to fly to work everyday.
I don't even think Lance Armstrong (cyclist) or Matt Pinsentt (olympic rower) could produce a constant 400 watts for very long. That's just about excercising at VO2 max levels. Your power output dies off very quickly at that level.
If they could build a chopper that could be powered in the aerobic threshold level (<85% peak heart rate) then it might be a practical option.
That was to allow for the sequence numbers on the cards in columns 73-80.
We're still suffering from the days of card readers and punches.
I've not punched a card since 1981. But I've edited lots of MVS (aka OS/390 aka z/OS) datasets that are fixed to 80 bytes (sequence in 73-80) by the architecture.
Not Slough, my wonderful Citroen was built there.
How about destroying Basingstoke? Basingstoke gets a mention on page 42 of the paperback edition of HHGTTG volume 1.

So Mike's excellent invention makes it to open source. Well done Mike, Well done IBM.
Which, curiously, is exactly what IBM does on their zSeries mainframes and has done for many years.
If it did I'd use http://www.spamgourmet.com/ to provide a disposable address.
But we all know that the password IS: XYZZY! http://www.xyzzy.com/

Shame!
... In the next Slashdot story perpetual motion is shown to be possible.

Radio 1 is crap!
Since duct tape is the universal cure for everything, some carefully placed strips should fix this problem.
As the whale said "Oh no, not again!". The petunias didn't comment.

The graph on Human Factor Testing and Search for Pilots shows some interesting figures for power required for one minute of flight.

I need to take a year off dead for tax reasons.
Perhaps I could volunteer for a clinical trial of this stuff.

from Bigkeys ... for one hundred and fifty nine dollars. I think the self build should come in a bit cheaper than that.

We did have the wonderful Major Charles Ingram who cheated on Millionaire.

Why would anyone want coffee without the caffeine?
That's the whole point of drinking the foul muck.
I wouldn't expect that, since IBM don't have the contract to run the computing at the Olympics.
