You mean an 'entrance' in the weblog as IE, followed by an 'exit' a few minutes later as Firefox;o)
ok...ok - I know it wouldn't work like that, but it's a nice thought. They could go through their logs looking for IE hits on the firefox download page, followed by a firefox hit on the default after install (I forget which URL the fox sends you to straight after install) page. The same IP, within 5mins or so of each other = 1 new user

As my anonymous friend states above - it is encrypted.
Hashing (rot26) is just an incredbly lossly encryption algorithm. Where does the DMCA stand on this?
I know a judge would throw it out (it is anon-sensical argument even if it is correct in the letter of the law), but it could be quite amusing nonetheless:o)
Catching it as it falls from orbit is a tried and tested technique too.
It was used to catch film from spy satellites back in the days when they still used wet film.
Theres a description of the first satellites to use it (Corona) here,
and the google cache for good measure.
So catching payloads in mid air has a longer history and more successful reoveries than a couple of mars landers. They did use military pilots though;o)
To be honest, I'd have thought they would jump at the chance to own/licence it themselves. Large firms have the R&D/aquisition budgets to snap up something promising and make even more money for themselves.

In this case, I don't personally see cold fusion as being particularly promising but I bet the big power producers are keeping an eye on it nonetheless. That eye will be tilted in favour of exploitation rather than supression.
It has been suggested that deuterium water (heavy water) should be considered toxic because if consumed in isolation it would displace light water and disturb the rate of biochemical reactions in the body.
Think of gunpowder, petrol, wood etc. Chemical reactions rely on the energy contained in the bonds between molecules and atoms. You can get energy out of them, at the cost of altering their structure. With the amounts of energy reported it would only require a tiny amount of material to react - you probably wouldn't notice the change in mass (especially if the by-products are similar to the orginial material).
From the article it seems like Fleischmann saw more energy coming out than he put in (up to 250% apparently) and thought to himself:
"Aha! This must be cold fusion."
Is it just me, or does that seem to be a bit of a leap of faith? After all, if one sets light to petrol one gets more energy out than a match puts in. Surely there are other possibilities.
Use your credit card when you buy stuff online. I don't know about in the states, but on this side of the pond only credit card purchases are automatically insured against online fraud.
(Distance selling act/ trade of goods act I think)
Do you really have to put up with that many adverts? Eight minutes in thirty?
Out of interest, are there any public service broadcasters on you side of the pond? I'm guessing ABC doesn't stand for American Broadcasting Corporation.
btw, BBC apparently stands for British Broadcorping Castration;o)
Of course, there are many other definitions, but I like thie one above.
Why is someone who fights others because "My country is better than your country" held in such high regard? After all, we despise those who fight and kill because their race "is better than yours".
Sorry for being a little off-topic, but maybe someone will know the answer.
You don't even need a hotmail account to use MSNM, you can use any email account you want.
Admittedly, any account you do use will immediately receive offers of V I A G R A from Microsoft's "business partners".

I think a plog is a Project Log.
I'm not sure if that's what is meant in this case though, or if it is just a typo.
Or possibly even buy a small TV...
Or is that a little too far out?

From Wiki
You are quite correct. Every joule of energy you gain in the form of light and heat is countered by a loss of a joule in the form of a chemical bond.
My point is, why opt for cold fusion as an explanation when a chemical breakdown seems so much simpler. Simple often means correct.
True, but thats not how chemical reactions work.
Think of gunpowder, petrol, wood etc. Chemical reactions rely on the energy contained in the bonds between molecules and atoms. You can get energy out of them, at the cost of altering their structure. With the amounts of energy reported it would only require a tiny amount of material to react - you probably wouldn't notice the change in mass (especially if the by-products are similar to the orginial material).

Occam's razor anyone?
I'm not sure about "strong evidence" from a single research laboratory either...
Hmmm.

Correct, my anonymous friend.

So you pay Microsoft and you by-pass Hotmail's spam filters?
From what I hear from friends with Hotmail accounts, paying for that priviledge is definitely not necessary.
