Historical value? Just because you can't find any use for them doesn't mean they're not valuable to some random historian researching early industry or something...
Whatever you decide on, get an nvidia card. Their linux drivers are of much higher quality (they care more it seems) than ATIs. I have a gf fx5700 ultra, I'm expecting it run nice. UT2004 runs excellent at 1600x1200@32bit with everything maxed out. And it's very compatible with linux. AA & AF works too. Trust me, it's all in the drivers.
The one thing I miss since switching from mandrake to fc2 is urpmi. If it works as well as it does in mandrake, this is very very nice indeed. Sure, it's not really a problem using DAG or some other repository, apt, yum etc, but urpmi is at another level (at least for mandrake).
1. Push really long cylinder down, letting it fill with water so you have an easier time controlling it on the way down, and you don't have to use as much force.
2. Push air/(liquid helium easier for transportation down?) down into it when it's firmly locked in place by some mechanism. If you used helium, let it expand inside your super-rigid cylinder.
3. Now release it with the payload on top. Better do this in some place where the currents are neglible compared to your force on the way up, though... You should probably have the steering fins that rockets use, along with jets to compensate for currents.
4. When your pressure sensor detects that you're a kilometer or ten away from the surface, start your main rocket. You'd have to carry your own oxygen though, but most rockets allredy do this(?).
I don't think this would be an economical way to accelerate things though... At least not to begin with, you'd probably have an extreme initial investment in stuff that can go to the bottom of the ocean..:/ Also there is the issue that the Mariana trench (deepest spot on earth) is only 10 kilometres deep, and space supposedly begins around 90 km above sea-level. You'd be optimistic to think that you could gain enough force during the 10 km ride to last you the 90 km up into orbit, so you would need rockets too. Now, this isn't a sudden transiton though... The buoyant force that acts on, say, a pointed/areodynamic cylinder with a volume of 1 billon litres over a distance of 10 kilometres, although diminishing on the way up, is frickin huge. I knew how to calculate this two months ago when I was taking physics, but summer break has made my brain discard that information, sadly... Pretty original idea you had there, good job..:)
Oh, by the way, the grandparent (J. Joyce) is a troll.
All the phones I've had since '99 or something have been able to combine up to six messages into one. They do this by setting some header in the message. So it's 6*160=960 characters. All new phones here do this (euro, everywhere else too, probably). Also, on the cost issue: If you have some cash you can buy, say 300000 messages is some eastern european country for cheap (bulk from some provider), typically at 1% of the consumer price. Then you just send from that country into some other country. The reciever in the sms may complain to his provider, but it's hard for them to do anything about it, because it didn't originate on their network, and they can't block the entire range of eastern european countries from sending sms to their networks, because there's some legitimate use too. Same problem as with spam.
If you get a dodgy phone with an ARM chip you're going to see Nokia/Erricson/etc result: Nokia/Erricson/ect cops shit. Likewise Olympus/Kodak/Canon etc will be blamed for poor cameras, again ARM gets away even if it's there problem.
That's ok though, since it probably was Sony/Nokia/Canon/Kodak's implementation that was at fault. They might have bought crappy capacitors or whatever to go with the ARM, or written crappy software. Chances are pretty slim that the ARM was at fault.
I'd find some depressed mid-western or just rural city
The cops there have nothing to, unlike the cops in NY. Now, these people aren't doing anything illegal, but I doubt they'd appreciate it if the entire local police department decided to drop in because they had nothing else to do... Then again, the cops might learn something. Or maybe not.
Oh yeah, to the guy who wanted to smack Mitnick, I'll second that. Grrr...
That's good because I'm one of Uncle Sam's children.
He can't be both your dad and your uncle, can he now? Unless, of course, he married your aunt after fathering you with your mother? Nah, uncle Sammy wouldn't do that...

Well, you'd have to send your army after me, I ain't american... :)
Thanks for fixing that though, pretty obvious mistake..
Ah, thank god you have me to debug your code. Here ya go:
private void countvotes(bool vote,SSN){
if(vote){
Kerri+=1;
alert_SS("$SSN");
alert_IRS("$SSN");
}
else{
bush+=1;
echo "thank you, citizen, now go play somewhere else";
}
}
Real images speak octal.
So it's in java? Cross-platform goodness...
I refuse to rtfa...

Nope. The Japanese have sent one probe down there. The deepest a human has been is a fraction of the depth of the Mariana trench.

Looks like a turd.
Even better:

Hondas kill Jobs (Ford VP on sales tour). Mkay?
My TwinMOS thumbdrive came with a penguin on the packaging. So did my graphics card (geforce fx 5700 Ultra).

Thank you very much. :)
Would be interesting if you could provide us with a link (if they're still up that is)... Please?

Get over yourself, arrogant prick.

Yes, you knew this, but I'm just pointing it out to those who didn't...
Good to see that Konsole has it's German-Kred in order... :)

For those who are uniformed or unaware...
Yes, the military allways has a hard time with things like this. How good of you to point things out for them. Very patriotic, I might add.
