I don't know if the different browsers honour the TTL in the SOA, but they should. For google.com, this TTL is set to 86400 seconds, i.e. 24h, so that's the maximum time you should experience a "false" RR.

The side-effect of this is that it fucks up the statistics about browser usage.
With false statistics the webmongers, and more importantly the bean-counters, get the wrong basis for making decisions about which broweser your clients really use and what to suppot and not. I refuse to use agent switchers. I take my business elsewhere instead.
Why would you need to evacuate heat from the room?
With heat exchangers water/oil you transport the heat to an evaporator located outside, or recover the energy for heating water, or to heat the building in the cold season.
I'm grown up at the norwegian coast, so I know what clean air is. I've spent quite a lot of time in Paris too and have never had any problem with breathing there.
The second point is that it takes some time before engines with particle filters become a major part of the rolling stock.
The filters were, initially, quite expensive. My previous car, a Peugeot 406 with a 2.2 HDI engine cost about $500 for a replacement FAP that last about 80.000 km. Today, they last the lifetime of the engine. The cost for the initial fitting, is about as high as for a catalyzer for a petrol engine.
A certain NATO participant that I used to work for, clad the brand new building for the officers living quarters with pure copper sheet. I can tell the officers that had to live there were not very happy, since they relied on mobile communications, since getting a wired phone line installed was a real pain in the ass. --But you could sit in the window frames and talk, of course...
Basic components are so broken that they doesn't even compile with the most common USE-flags. kdelibs-3.5.4-* wouldn't link unless the 'noutempter'-flag was present. FontConfig-2.4.1 compiles and links, but all applications that link against it segv's. That was just yesterday's experience. I really have to bite my teeth together before doing a world update. Most likely I have to spend 2-3 hours tricking my way through an upgrade, reading the source to see how I can tweak it.
I really like the concept that Gentoo offers, but not at any price. I'm very close to ditching Gentoo, but I don't have any real options where to go, except rolling my own.
People are complaining about the difficulty of installing Gentoo, but I think if it was easier, less experienced people would have to fight with the broken ebuilds and how that should work with plain users without programming experience, I don't know. Probably it would give the distribution so much negative PR that it would be totally abandoned in the industry.
When I did my military service in Norway back in 1987, we used (among others) the SEM 52N variant tactical radio. This was fitted with a head piece with a bone conduction microphone. I'm unable to find a picture of the head piece, but the radio-set can be viewed at http://www.armyradio.com/publish/Articles/SEM_52A/ SEM-52A.htm
Comedi is a generic programming framework for most current DAQ-boards. If your board is obsolete, but still have the HW-specs for it, writing a driver is always possible. The package includes examples for how to accomplish this.
Further; if you need RT-scheduling, it supports RTAI.
Still, (La)TeX is not WYSIWYG, but WYWIWYG (What You Want Is What You Get). Personally I use LaTeX for all serious documentation work I do, since I haven't got time to fiddle around with doing the layout while writing. I let my layout-definitions take care of that. Besides that, I can use the editor of choice [I use vi(1)] to edit the text, which is much more productive for most people than to let the vendor select the editor for you. The only problem with (La)TeX is that it is very hard to write documents that looks like sh*t.
The problem we have is two-fold: People can't accept the fact that our environment is not static. Temperature and other climatic effects has varied throughout the centuries way before humans started burning fossile fuel. These historic changes were not subtile either, some being quicker than we see today.
The other factor is financial. Most governments have their economy very much rooted around taxes and levys on fossile fuels. If the CO2-factor went away, it would be harder to justify taxation, and there would be problems.
The only thing we know for sure is that we know way to little about the impact CO2, water vapour (which is hardly mentioned in the UN Climate Report of 2001) and methane.
An interersting article about the water vapour-effect can be found at:
Additionally, most "environmentalists" think that the human being is supposed to be outside the ecological system. Everything that lives and also what dies imposes changes to the system. Everyting that decomposes releases methane, which has a potential global warming index of 21. That's 21 times the index of CO2. I've never heard anyone even mention methane in this discussion.

It's an interresting observation that "after more than three decades on the job" he hasn't got a clue about what the businesses he was representing is actually selling! --He, obviously thinks the record/movie industry is selling silver discs! --That's not what they're selling. They're selling the _rights_ to watch/listen to a given artistical performance.
The comparison with cognac glasses is as absurd as the industry he was representing.

Exactly! --This is maybe the best news that the RIAA-folks could give the independent labels/artists, and probably the listening audience too!
Couldn't possibly agree more!
