Sleep on a modern machine is pretty damn good. On my main gaming PC if you turn off the monitor and sleep the system it uses 3.18 watts. If you turn the machine off rather than sleep you use 2.92 watts.
I actually looked at this when I had the power meter out. To play Spider Solitaire is about 102 watts on the same machine that needed 157 to play Dawn of War 2. That machine idles at 100 watts.

Now they can just start it and it works out of the box.
The Computer Museum at Bletchley Park in England (where the first programmable digital electronic computer digital computer was made) has the majority of their exhibits working and they let you play with the computers on show.
Last year I lost 43 pounds (and it's still off). I started by using techniques from the hackers diet but over time, and through experimentation I found that a steady amount of weights with a little regular cardio produced more steady results than just careful diet, or diet + cardio. I kept a graph of my progress which is online here:
So what I observed was cardio and diet produced quite random variances in weight loss for me, but by adding weight lifting I was able to sustain a steady 2 pounds a week loss.

I have played CS and then CS:Source using [WineX|Cedega] at the end of virtually every working day for nearly 4 years. FWIW I am a happy customer who continues to pay for Cedega every month so I get my fix. Without Cedega I would not be able to play CS at all.
6 of those do not have a camera. There is a mixture of PDA, basic and more advanced phones in there. The one that stood out is the E60 which seems to have a lot of features without turning into a PDA or having a camera.
You'll be able to fire multiple times, and basically when you lase a target, you have to lase it for some certain amount of time in order to get the weapon effect. The effect that it wants to gain on these tactical ballistic missiles is that it heats up the skin of the missile and then the internal pressure of the fuel tank actually causes the missile to explode."
The article never mentions pulsing but the wording in this excerpt suggests that lasing to destruction takes time, it does not say how long. Depending on the relationship of the rotating to the time required to deliver a killing blow for a given material rotating the missile may have an effect.
Your micky taking hints at part of a good question. The article does not explain how
reinforcing the casing or rotating the missile so it takes longer to heat effect
the performance of the laser. How does this implementation overcome these
countermeasures? - I assume it already takes them into account.
What increases the protection of the missile most effectively? I realise this is
probably all top secret, 'mums the word old chap' etc.
One way out of this is to split the document into chunks while working on
drafts.
Apart from making it less likely to break the word processor it can make
collaboration easier for when people are reading your drafts (you don't need
your professor to check things in and out of CVS for instance).
When you are done with the major revisions you mark the document up in Latex. I
have found this gives the best of all worlds, 'wiggly underlining' spell
checking for my tpying, change tracking when people are helping you and then
finally the power of Latex to produce a perfect final copy.

My dad wouldn't buy me a console when I was little, he thought you should be able to do more with a computer than just play games so I got a Commodore 64 for Christmas when I was 7. By boxing day I was bored shitless with Rambo and read the manual, after "10 print "Commodore 64 "; 20 goto 10" I was hooked.
Sometimes I wonder what I would be doing now if he had given in and bought me a NES.
This guy reckons they did, while not a bug in the code they supposedly left some important scripts out of the release without which the program wont work.
I was listening to NASA TV earlier, it seems that they are spending quite a bit of time backing out of the landing procedure, seemed to be quite a complicated set of stuff to do. So the gap wont be a full day - just the time between them undoing the landing procedure and getting ready for next time.
The hand is fixed in place so yes for this prototype you have to 'throw' the ball close enough to the hand for it to catch it with it's fingers.I believe they want to use it as a demo of the speed and accuracy of the technology, it is quite impressive.
We already have bowling robots, now we have a catching hand, just need to build the 'battathon 2000' and England may have a chance in the next test:)

This raises an interesting question - Why/How can Firefox, which runs happily on W2K and others, offer better security, while IE cannot do the same on an OS developed by MS itself?
Like the arcticle says IE replies on features of Windows for some apsects of it's security, the modern implementations/fixes are not being backported to Win2k so the browser wont be able to take advantage of fixed libraries/functionality. It's not that they can't do it - they have just chosen not to.
Firefox supplies a lot of it's own bits and bobs not relying so much on the system libraries.
On the other hand, How many times do you want to see the same PCs coming through your door? The only thing worse than death is boredom.
Not only that but if they keep returning the box they may start to wonder if you are doing a good job and take the business else where. If you do your best to help them out then it might be more likely you keep their custom:)

Doesn't look too bad.
If you can't wait for it to boot you can sleep it. The difference between sleep and off is minimal on a modern machine.

Would you be interested in a governor with a performance guarantee?
If so you should check out the MicroMiser beta available here:

It is much more sophisticated than the simple threshold based solutions.

"semi-autonomous and even remotely operated vehicles can also be entered"
Obviously is still likely to generate some useful stuff, but for me this does take some of the coolness out of it.
