  1. Re:Europa: "It's got the ingredients." on Life on the Moons of Jupiter? · · Score: 2

    That picture encouraged me to find more, NASA has a huge number of shots posted from the Galileo flyby of Europa:

    http://www-pdsimage.jpl.nasa. gov/cgi-bin/Nav/GLL_search.pl

    You can search by target (Europa) and also by orbit, there's a page that describes the different orbits and how far away from Europa they were.

    Also, I found a page that has a clickable map of Europa where you can zoom in on certain areas they took photographs of (at low, medium, and high resolution) and see data about the region and captions about the image. It's absolutely fascinating...

    http://www.jpl.nasa.gov /galileo/europa/clickmap/europa.html

    Also, this last link might be a tad off-topic, but it's NASA's Planetary Photojournal, they have images from all the planets, and you can search by target and mission to get specifc images or look at all the images for a specific target. It found 100 photos of Europa when I searched...

    http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/

    One last link, then I'll shut up... This one is the Planetary Image Archive, it lists different missions (Galileo, Viking, Pathfinder) and gives links to pictures or search engines for those missions. It's not as friendly as the photojournal above, but it seems to have more data:

    Search engines are your friends, please use them.

  3. Re:Cybex Switch Boxes on Ask Slashdot: Hardware for Headless Linux Boxes · · Score: 1

    I own a ServSwitch (made by Black Box), and they
    can use either the normal cables or special coax
    cables. The coax ones go pretty far (up to 100
    feet, I think). I have a 20 ft cable connecting
    the machine to the switchbox, and a 10 ft cable
    that goes from the switchbox to the monitor.

    I run my system at 1280x1024 and 1600x1200, and
    I haven't had any problems with video distortion
    or anything like that.

    Black Box says that the coax reduces the noise,
    and to me it looks like that it does indeed make a
    difference.

    p.s. I don't work for Black Box or anything like
    that, I just figured someone might find this
    useful.

  4. Re:not any more on Whois information copyrighted · · Score: 2

    I think you missed the point Russ was trying to
    make (or at least the point I think he was trying
    to make).

    Since his copy of his whois record predates the
    restrictive text NSI put in the whois records,
    he doesn't have to abide by the terms of the new
    text. IANAL, but I don't think they can apply it
    retroactively, and that's what I think Russ meant.

  6. Feel sorry for the people with crypto tattoos... on US Crypto Export Laws Ruled Unconsitutional · · Score: 2

    What about those people who went out and got
    the RSA-in-3-lines-of-Perl program tattooed on
    their arm? (Suddenly, that 'This human is
    classified as a munition' tattoo that I wanted to
    get across my chest doesn't look so neat. ;-)
