Try to make a softlink from a directory on an automounted filesystem onto the desktop, wait for the mount to time out and click on it. This bug has existed since Leopard and all through the lastest Mountain Lion, and noone at Apple gives a flying f*ck about it.

I've got a friend who tries to make a business around that, selling cloths and fabrics made of wool, artificially polluted with common allergenes. http://www.astmate.com/ His hypothesis is available on the webpage under "more info", if anyone is interested reading it. (I have no kickback from this business)
Well. The beam dumps has to absorb the equivalent of 87kg TNT when they abort a beam. (I don't know the equivalent in Libraries of Congress) You wouldn't live long if you happened to stand in front of it.
At least here in Scandinavia, it's becoming very popular to track hunting dogs using GPS. In the bad old days, tracking using a transmitter on the dog and a highly directional Yagi antenna was, and partly is quite common, but with the new, relatively affordable GPS based trackers, dog owners can now get their dogs position directly onto their mobile phone.
I won't start a discussion about the choice that the Royal Navy did.
All I can say is that the technical management at CAWCS/Force Vision never saw Microsoft as a viable alternative. At least as long as I was working there. But sure, we used other operating systems as well. Among those OpenVMS and Solaris 7 and 8. Most of the development was done on Sun/Solaris. We even had Windows systems for office support, but on a physically isolated network.
Disclaimer: As a former external consultant I'm not speaking for the Royal Dutch Navy.
Having worked for the Royal Dutch Navy for several years as a programmer and software architect, I'm impressed by their use of open source software on board their combat platforms. For instance, the Landing Platform Dock 2, HrMs Johann de Witt, uses GNU/Linux as a main component in the Combat Management System. Other platforms, including their submarines also uses various degrees of open source in combination with older proprietary systems.
It's usually controlled by a sequence timer. But that being said, it's strange that they haven't incorporated a little bit more logic into the separation process, so it wouldn't separate until the accelerometers registered no net thrust.
It should be assumed that the burn-rate of rockets are very well known. If not, it would be very difficult to get to a certain orbit. But anyway, if you separate with thrust coming from a ditched stage, you are more certain than death and taxes that you'll have a prematurely terminating mission.
Couldn't possibly agree more. In this example the if-statement defines the indentation reference. To place the opening brace on a new line on the same indentation level is superfluous. The only thing it adds is one extra line of unnecessary fluff in the code.
Gambling and the taxation of gambling is a source of income for governments and this is the only interest they have in this matter. Spam, or the lack thereof, is not going to have any impact on the financials of any state, so they couldn't possibly care less.
And who says that pushing CD's is the only way of making money from music?
In the old days, recordings were primarily a promo stunt for getting people to the gigs. And it were at the gigs that the musicians made their bucks.
It's, first of all, the labels that make money from shifting CD's, and unless you're crying when you see them lose their hard earned income, try the stage! And if you're so ugly looking that you think the audience will turn around and run home, try to put a paper bag over your head before you enter the stage. The audience will love you and I'm sure you'll earn plenty!
Personally, I'd like to see the continuation of the Integral Fast Reactor project, that the Clinton administration sadly shut down in 1994. Not only for it's built in safety and minimal waste products, but also for its efficency. 99% vs. about 2% for a thermal reactor. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integral_Fast_Reactor

Don't forget we've got balls, as well!
Absolutely!

Have you never seen "Connection reset by peer"?
It's this Peer-guy you're looking for.

WMD? Like in "Windows of Mass Destruction" then?

Like this one (swedish text):

€800 can seem steep, but a hunting dog can be worth a lot more, and looking for a dog for hours can be quite tedious.

What about the obvious "Indiana Jones and the Hunt for Duke Nukem Forever"?

--What if the water level was really low and the injected data told it was normal?
I have no information that this is possible. Hopefully there are other sanity checks between sensors and accumulated data, but still...
Yes, I think I got the picture...
If it was a slashdotter driving, that would be a very hypotetical question.
It was supposed to be the right tool for lining Mr. Ballmer's pockets.
