I know they're not directly connected to the net, but firewalls on the edge of their network are a good way of ensuring that the application network can talk freely (well, as much as it needs to) without the bits it's connected to being able to inject malicious packets.
There have been hundreds of ideas for how to secure the tube, it's been this country's big target for years.
Now, I challenge you to find a security system which allows you to secure the most heavily used underground system in the world, moving (on some lines) more than 2 people every second per station (120+ per train, trains every 2 minutes in both directions). When you find one which won't bring the system to a grinding halt, let me know.
Games are heading towards specific release dates. Remember HL2, where you couldn't play it even if you had got the packaged game early?

Oh for mod points.
Also, firewalls are good for if you have networks which need to do a lot of internal talking on potentially hazardous ports, but don't want the rest of the world to talk on those ports. Think big application platforms.
Because when I go to university BitTorrent is blocked on the edge firewalls. I would love to download using BitTorrent, but sadly I still need HTTP downloads here and there:(
Standard Form is wonderful, you're guaranteed that your 1.00x10^0 is exactly 1 to all the accuracy you need. But like your major point was, interfacing with a calculator to just tell it if your number is absolute, or to x significant figures, is horrible.
You cannot have a greater level of accuracy than the original input. This is usually shown by a fixed number of decimals, e.g. 1.00 for the integer 1 to 2dp.
With this, you cannot possibly be more accurate than 2dp in your workings, so 1.23 (2dp) + 43.5128758389657 (13dp) is 44.74 (2dp).
The IP network is designed to deal with partial failure, that's the whole point:D
What happened with the phones (Note I'm assuming the US has the same response plans as the UK here) is that once an emergency was declared, anybody who didn't need the bandwidth was unplugged so that emergency service calls were guaranteed to get through. This is standard emergency procedure, and makes sure the exchanges aren't overwhelmed with people ringing to check other people are ok, and instead that 911 calls and calls between emergency personnel can get through.
This is also noticeable on cellphone networks, where signals will be dropped for everybody who doesn't need mobile access during an emergency.
Basically, the chances are that not everybody looking at a page needs it dynamically generating. Therefore the first time someone looks at a new version of a page, the cache server generates a static version and serves that up. Future requests for the page recieve this cached version, until a change is made to the page which forces a cache refresh.
It means popular, rarely changing pages don't keep hammering the database.
What amazes me is that no probes have yet been constructed in orbit, allowing far larger probes to be sent. You could easily send up components, park them near the ISS whilst people go bolt them together, then send it on its way.
Big camera? No worry. Need huge solar panels? No worry. Send them up piecemeal and build in orbit. Bus sized probes shouldn't be a problem.
Sadly a quite a lot of investment has already been made in VoIP without any MS extensions, and by the time that MS releases a VoIP client (Presuming it comes with longhorn) all those wonderful MS extensions will be dropped into a world full of devices that just won't talk to them.
It won't work. Adult sites and.xxx may work, since the vast majority of adult sites i've come across make huge efforts to keep themselves above board and easily filtered, so.xxx makes sense.
But.spam? It would just get blocked at every level and there is no good reason for spammers to use it.
Basically, install an IPv6 stack on everything you can and use IPv6 ready software/hardware over IPv4. Eventually upstream people will see IPv6 all over the place using Toredo, and implement an IPv6 network.
My school runs on IPv6, along with a few others in the area, and our upstream provider is already implementing an IPv6 network for us.
BBC programming is still head and shoulders above the rest, although ITV is catching up in places.
I thought that Strictly Come Dancing and Strictly Dance Fever were far superior reality TV offerings to the likes of How Clean Is Your Toilet, Big Brother, Celebrity Love Island and the rest.

Has the most up to date information I can find.

Again, it depends on how you've been taught it.
As far as I can tell the general rule is "make it look right"
You cannot have a greater level of accuracy than the original input. This is usually shown by a fixed number of decimals, e.g. 1.00 for the integer 1 to 2dp.
With this, you cannot possibly be more accurate than 2dp in your workings, so 1.23 (2dp) + 43.5128758389657 (13dp) is 44.74 (2dp).
Because most people have one system, one desktop.
If I'm working, I use my one desktop. I have no need to have a window from any other machine open.

Write one then ;)

traumazon.com would me much more appropriate.

Yeah, I re-read my comment and went "WTF was I talking about?". My bad.

Plus they've got MSN Messenger anyway.
UK power is certainly high enough quality for plugging your gear into, as long as you don't have anything stupid on the same ring.
:D
As for events, us lampies can flash our parcans all we want because we're on a different phase
Note to all event organisers: Do *NOT* let sound techs use some lighting sockets and some stage sockets, you're liable to blow up expensive equipment.
I thought a googolplex was a googol of googols, and since a googol is 1x10^100, won't a googolplex be 1x(10^100)^100 ? Or am I talking rubbish?
You'd be amazed. They all have Hotmail to chat to their friends on MSN Messenger.
On the plus side, at least Hotmail makes an attempt at filtering.
