In my local paper a few years back they suggested Dawn French as a possible Dr Who during an interview. Apparently she liked the idea. Obviously nothing came of it. (yet)
You could intercept the beam using a beamsplitter which just taps a small amount of the signal.
Of course, you can't tap single photons as simply. You first would have to amplify the incoming photon stream (probably within another laser, like a telecomms EDFA) then split the resultant beam
a) digital doesn't necessarily mean hdtv b) it is actually easier to timeshift digital TV, the BSkyB Sky+ package does this, just capturing the transport stream, no messy analogue stage. c) You can build your own digital tv shifter, google for 'VDR'
This optical coherence method (OCT) has been used to examine retinal defects for about 5 years now.
In the eye it has the benefit of a nearly clear path to the tissue being analysed. 100micron resolution is commonly acheived.
On the skin the depth that can be analysed is less than a millimeter, so this is really only of use for skin cancers.
There are far more exciting systems in development, which allow deeper investigation (at the cost of resolution alas) and can also determine tissue type by florescence spectra.
(I am assuming that cable is basically similar to ethernet, I have DSL)
The spammed packets are probably udp, although it isn't impossible for some other broadcast-type packets to cause this (I'm thinking netbios/netbeui)
Best thing to do (if it's possible) is install some kind of packet sniffer (tcpdump/ethereal for unixoids, dunno about other OSes) on a laptop and plug it in at various locations. Sometimes just unplugging the patch from the offending port for 5sec clears this kind of thing up, sometimes you need to reboot the switch.

The subject says it all really...

This is true, NVidia drivers, but a lot of people use them.
You may laugh, but xmms is often installed suid so it can up it's priority. :)
Additionally it's GL spectrum analyser has frozen my system on occasions.
I don't think XMMS has had any remotely activatable flaws though.
Can't carbon 14 date something as modern as this, the statistical error margin is several thousand years
As I understand it, compose
:p
Compose should generally be bound to the alt-gr key,
but the keyboard in XF4+ is incredibly broken for non-US layouts.
By 'broken' I mean 'different from 3.x'
Another problem is programs grabbing the alt key for their own uses, so even when you can type an extended character, it may be grabbed as a command
I didn't use it, and I assumed you could enter semi-random gibberish.
(I snail-mailed my MP)
benefit of the 'fax your mp' site is that it's on the web. You can access it via a throwaway AOL account, or a anonymising proxy, etc.
That's not what he actually said:
Obviously this secure as any attempt to tap into the conversation would break the beam - revealing the attack attempt.

groovy. I'm still trying to resist going to the nearest Apple reseller and trying out a TiBook.
When I do, the only thing that could save me would be a crappy keyboard.
I hate to say it, but maybe they should look into licensing ClearType From MS.
Yes, it's MS, but it is designed for LCD displays, whereas it appears that the current system is designed for non-trinitron CRTs.

with the original ones (P60, P66) it was a MAJOR issue. I mean, they had to fit fans on them.
;)
At the time, this was seen as a sign of poor chip design
It's not too hot.
I mean, it's not fair to ask your CPU/etc to go through something you wouldn't do yourself.
Be careful though, I once got a blister on my right index finger from a P3 heatsink with a failed fan, couldn't write for days
I've had a funny day, and that was still in the top 5 funny things that has happened, well done :)

There Linux support for that Realmagic card? I'd be tempted if there is...
Remember, this quiz is from the people who developed emacs...
AGREED!
It also makes it irritating to get straight back to the front page, no single click way of doing it that I can see.
For the old iBook: http://people.debian.org/~branden/ibook.html
The TiBook setup is reportedly similar, I suspect that the new iBook will also be.

This was 3 years ago; I'm long gone ;)
If I were one of Sun's legal team I'd be sending legal flames as if it were going out of fashion ;)
I'm sorry, but I really think Slashdot needs a slap to get its house in order.
