The article is silent on exactly which temperature this high-temperature superconductor requires. Are we still at liquid-nitrogen temperatures or have we gone higher?
> I don't think people understood before the impact that preceding states have on states in later time zones.
The first time this came to a head was in the 1980 presidential election when Jimmy Carter went on the air to concede defeat before west coast polls had closed. This caused quite a commotion.
The PDF format can handle CCITT compression in the same amount of space as a TIFF file. Finding a PDF writer application to use this format may be a trick, but the format itself is not at fault.
It beats me why an individual taxpayer who knows anything about programming would use tax prep software. I did my taxes by hand, along with separate state and federal returns for each of my three kids, in less than the time it took you to set up a Windows environment and get the software running.
Anybody who can follow instructions like "subtract the lesser of lines 14 and 16 from line 18 and enter the result on line 21" would be better off following the hacker creed and doing it themself.
You can't run a webserver through Comcast because your upload speed is a tiny fraction of the 1.5Mbps download speed. You can't serve data fast enough.

Stripping the binaries doesn't speed up anything, except possibly disk seek times because the smaller files take up fewer total cylinders.
What made the news wires was pizza deliveries to the Pentagon.
Consider the word "square" in the term "inverse-square law." There may be a interesting law in which the exponent is variable, but this one isn't it.
A bigger nit: an exponential rate is of the form k*exp(c*x). The inverse-square law (k*x^-2) is polynomial, not exponential.

Wow, 2.6 has a card reader driver? Where's the source? I want to see how it handles Hollerith-to-ASCII conversion.
