However, you can remove the zombies from your process table by killing their parent. The orphans will be adopted by the init process, which will reap their souls and allow them to shuffle off this mortal coil. And, by identifying the parent, you'll know which program is ignoring its dead children and needs attention.
The form that reports non-employee income would be one of the Form 1099s, such as http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1099msc.pdf. It cannot be filed without a taxpayer information number, which for most of us in the US is our social security number.
Can you imagine somebody handing over their SSN when buying a game?
A USB port cannot supply more than 2.5 watts. A quick survey of my house shows that all my chargers supply about that much power.
If you connect an unpowered USB hub to your laptop, then the total power supplied to all the ports on the hub cannot add up to more than 2.5 watts, minus a fraction to power the hub itself. You can't efficiently charge more than one device at a time through this hub.
If your USB hub is powered by a wall wart, then each of its ports can supply the full 2.5 watts... but now you're schlepping another wall wart around.
At about the time that allofmp3.com lost their credit card charging rights, I started to receive this spam at an address I set up just for their service announcements. Nobody else has it, so it's clear that allofmp3 monetized their email address list.
Better than a shredder, ask the banks to stop sending you the applications in the first place: http://www.optoutprescreen.com/. I used to receive several per month, now I get two per year.
In the U.S., the Red Cross doesn't depend on trademark law. http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode18/us c_sec_18_00000706----000-.html is a special law just for them:
Whoever, whether a corporation, association or person, other than the American National Red Cross and its duly authorized employees and agents and the sanitary and hospital authorities of the armed forces of the United States, uses the emblem of the Greek red cross on a white ground, or any sign or insignia made or colored in imitation thereof or the words "Red Cross" or "Geneva Cross" or any combination of these words shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.
Pinging yourself doesn't test your hardware. When you ping your own IP address, the network stack handles the response internally. Nothing goes out on the wire.
Having a real device with a distinct IP address lets you send and receive actual packets and so verify that the PHY and MAC layers are working.
An optimizing compiler, such as gcc -O, will rearrange the array code into the pointer code -- it doesn't require a base-index address mechanism. This is called strength reduction.
Back in the day, we all learned about this because a compiler construction course was required for a comp sci degree.
Structural engineering issues aside, the big problem with space elevators is the junk in low earth orbit. If a 200 kg object hits the structure at a relative velocity of 15,000 MPH, it will release energy equivalent to one ton of TNT.
I've found 850 geocaches in the last two years, so my family and I are into it pretty deep. "The game where you are the search engine." Here are some of the less obvious attractions:
Hunting caches takes me to interesting places that I would never have seen otherwise. Pocket parks, public art works, secret waterfalls, funky neighborhoods.
It's a community. Many of my friends are people I've met through geocaching, often at "event caches." After three decades of working in high-tech, it's nice to hang with people who can converse about something other than Windows vs Linux.
Once you have a GPS receiver, there are no expenses beyond the occasional tank of gas. Nobody's trying to sell you anything.
I used a $100 starter GPSr for a year, then moved up to a Garmin 60CS with the add-on map software. It's also useful for navigating in the car.
(The VT100 was a slightly smart terminal. You connected it to a computer, not to a dumb terminal.)
We middle-aged geeks go back earlier than the '80s and '90s. My baby was the PDP-10 running TOPS-10, then TENEX, and occasionally ITS. My first gonzo gaming experience was playing Zork on a 300 baud hardcopy terminal in California connected through a local TIP to MIT. Still a hard game to top.
OP is wrong. That the leaders have signed off just means they've agreed to move it forward. There's still the little matter of getting majority votes in both houses before the bill goes to the president.
Daylight Saving Time is a carefully-balanced compromise between the needs of southern and northern latitudes. If this silly law passes, it upsets the balance for us northerners. My kids in Portland Oregon will have to bike to school before sunrise in March and November -- that's a safety nightmare. We'll be using more electricity in the morning, not less in the evening.
You will not find a kid who is failing any subect who has parents who are interested and involved in his school work.
That's just nonsense.
I volunteer as a math tutor in a sixth-grade classroom, one hour a week. One kid has parents who are right there with him every evening, but he doesn't learn the material. I have spent many hours teaching him a particular algorithm (e.g., dividing two fractions), drilling him over and over, and then asking him to apply it. He can't do it.
This kid will go through life using a calculator to add two-digit numbers, just as another kid I know will always ride a wheelchair. Thank heavens that we have calculators and wheelchairs.
Okay, so you've got all the energy you can use. You still need to throw something out the nozzle at high speed in order to move -- the rocket equation will not be denied. I'm skeptical about the "10% of conventional propellant" figure, and even more so about scooping propellant out of raw space.

The article doesn't say "a third of console owners are adults." It says "a third of adults who go online own consoles."

Nonsense. Linus himself switched from x86 to PowerPC two years ago, and remarked last October that he still prefers PowerPC.

You don't need the whole country. You can just use a former superpower's unemployed nuclear bomb engineers.
If you RTFA, you'll see he's talking about Linux, not Windows. He's probably referring to Van Jacobson's network channels. But the momentum is slowing down as implementation issues are uncovered, and the odds are that it's probably not going to happen anytime soon.
- RIAA files suit against Deborah Foster.
- Deborah explains that the computer belongs to her daughter Amanda who lives in a separate house, but Deborah pays her internet bills.
- RIAA adds Amanda to the suit. Amanda knuckles under. Then RIAA removes Deborah from the suit.
The RIAA got their pound of flesh.Better than a shredder, ask the banks to stop sending you the applications in the first place: http://www.optoutprescreen.com/. I used to receive several per month, now I get two per year.

There was email long before there were networks. http://www.multicians.org/thvv/mail-history.html describes early email on Multics, between multiple users time-sharing one mainframe.

Counterweights won't work. As a car approaches the upper station, its weight diminishes to zero.
A week and a half ago, I climbed South Sister for the first time. Again, no sacrificial maiden (they're hard to find in Oregon.) The clock is ticking.

You didn't factor in ongoing costs for maintenance and repair. I'd be surprised if you could operate the system for twelve years with no upkeep.
Will this system change your dad's homeowner insurance premium?
On the upside, you'll have some daytime electricity during power failures.
Every time? What about polio, smallpox, diphtheria, tetanus?
