Yea, I knew that the pressure wave would be absent. But still, if anything (space craft) were in the local (within 100 miles I would say) area the radiation would cause issues. The sun (and other sources of radiation in space) are a loong way away, and we have a large atmosphere to absorb it.
The space craft I mentioned earlier in this post has neither distance or atmospheric shielding. But still, I have never heard of a reactor "Detonating" when it failed and melted down... at least recently. But ships and subs have the scram system. A spacecraft doesn't have a vast supply of cold salt water to drown the reactor in.
I would feel sorry for anyone in a space station or vehicle in the vicinity. The sun is a long way away. If a nuke detonated 30 miles from a space shuttle, I bet the crew would still have some serious radiation complications.
Not so dangerous? What exactly happens when a nuke is detonated in space? I know that there would be no pressure wave or firestorm, but there is no atmosphere or ground to absorb the radiation...
Wow! Bright ones they are! It's good that you went through it, you know best what might help smooth out the ride. Just watch out for "people==stupid syndrome". As true as it can be, that really hurts social interactions.
What's really gonna suck is how other kids (and other parents/adults) will associate the bad grades with stupidity. Don't just challenge them. I got the same grade in Calc as I did in Algebra. Engage them, get them into it.
Wow. Your gona have problems when he gets to Jnr. High and higher. He will get bored with the classes or fall into the "this is beneath me" problem that plauged Einstein (he had crappy grades). I myself am just trying to overcome this problem as it is ruining my chances of finishing college.
When I was little, I didn't stick things in light sockets. I plugged things in, made weird kid-constructions (you know what I mean) out of extension cords and lights, ect.
Pay close attention to keeping him motivated, and don't be afraid to kick his ass (metaphorically) to get him to do his work. He'll hate you for it, but he'll thank you later. You will probably need to go Nazi with homework.
There's just something about the solid-state storage that I like.
iPods are hard-drive based, right? If they are, they are suceptible (eek, someone correct that spelling) to the same problems, and sudden motion while spinning may cause problems.
Seriuously, would it be really difficult to end the process tree, and run the game directly (you don't even need explorer up to run things. Try ending it and using taskmon's "new task" menu to launch programs).
If it keeps coming back, well... treat it like the blaster worm:D I had fun removing that manually* before the tools came out.
*Notepad + end task + quick timing. Open the exe, delete everything. File, save-as. Make it save as an exe. Leave the overwrite confirmation box up. Use taskmon to "end process tree" - leave the confirmation box up. Move it so the "yes" button is directly on top of the save-as yes button. Do a quick enough double click and the process will die, notepad will save 0000 to the file, and it will fail to reload itself.
This trick works with most nasty programs as well, except one seemingly polymorphic virus I can't get rid of (3 updated antivirus don't catch it, even when i scan the file directly off of an unmounted drive in an incompatible OS)
Why not? I've done SMT with one 30/45 watt (the one with two modes) just fine. You just have to be careful and quick. Although It would have been MUCH easier with a better (finer) tip.
Well, some people are just naturals. Try soldering something completely different (and useless) just to see. My first time soldering was Cat5 -> Parallel port connections, and my second time was straight into SMT. The SMT wasn't PERFECT, but I have seen worse come out of factories in shrinkwrap.
Perhaps hobbying with acetylene welding has something to do with my "naturalness", because molten metal is molten metal for the most part.
If you do try to do it yourself, make sure you practice on something else! Don't freak out about solder bridges. A pass through the bridge with the iron (sometimes after a solder-wicking) usually disconnects them.
MAKE DEAD SURE to clean the area on the board and connector before you start. Then, remove as much solder as you can before you add your own. It will make your job much easier.
Hard drives tend to have a circuit board seperate (but attached on the side) - but that can be removed. They usually have a connector of some kind between the board and the internals of the drive.
It shouldn't. Being unable to edit posts is one of the charms of slashdot. You can no more edit a post than you can edit a sentence you said in Real Life.
Besides, imagine the confusion, and bring karma and moderation into that mess.
I'm still bumming around with a sub-gigahertz chip, specifically an Athlon T-Bird. I've been out of the loop for too long, can anyone tell me the benifits of using a dual core system (and while we are at it, a 64-bit chip)? Any problems to look out for if I decide to jump on the wagon in my next upgrade?
The way I look at it, I'm generally not on the plane long enough to get anything done
That all depends on the length of the flight. Most flights I have been on spanned the country or the Atlantic, and they both exceed 6 hours. Are you saying that 3/4 of a work day is not enough time to get anything done? (assuming 8 hour shifts)
It would be very difficult to make a device that had moving parts like that, yet still manage to survive the reentry breakup and explosions. I think by putting a high-pressure less-dense-than-water canister inside that could vent out into a larger compartment in the box might make it bouyant (sp?) enough to float.
I can tell the difference between 192kbps and 256kbps, over the crappy $5 headphones that came with the player.
But then again, I can also hear dog whistles, so I take it my ears don't have the average range. (even though I have a 6db loss in one ear and a 37db loss in the other).
MP3 is tolerable for me, but lossless is better. OGG does it a little better than MP3, but thats more likely because it tossess different information that I can't hear - and nothing out there plays ogg, and can't (because hardware is integer based, ogg uses floats)
Huh. I guess that means using Windows 2K/XP is a TOS violation. By default these have open administrative shares. Unless I am mistaken, these would be servers.
It would help if instead of seeing 4 boards with Motley Crue ads almost all the time, I would see 4 boards with different ads on them at once. And as far as the sprite and alienware... I haven't seen anything except Motley Crue and G4 (and a grand total of 2 occurances of PC Gamer) and I've been playing close to a week.
OK, so the electiricty takes the path of least resistance straight between the cap leads... and discharges the capacitor. So what exactly would that hurt besides the water between the leads?

Heh, now I really feel like a fool...
Is there an extension for firefox that adds a dictionary search field (like it has the google search field)?

Well, I unfortunatly do not have a dictionary. I suppose I should get one.
I thought of another advantage to non-HD based storage:
Temperature changes will no longer cause physical damage. Turning on a drive while it heats from a cold temperature is dangerous.
Well, I was thinking of a nuclear detonation (think meltdown but worse). And, you have a good point. I forgot about the sun :)
I'm too lazy. What does that function in your sig output?

?
Maybe you are thinking of a hard drive?
USB drives are typically just a chip on a board.
Hard drives tend to have a circuit board seperate (but attached on the side) - but that can be removed. They usually have a connector of some kind between the board and the internals of the drive.
Or... am I just confused?

Maybe I'm just too used to realistic games, but UT2k3 was way too fast for me. Don't even get me going on Q3. I don't see how you can call UT2k3 slow.
I've watched DVDs over SMBFS in a 100baseT network. It played fine.
