I think this should have a mod as insightful - it's the only post I've seen which vaguely explains why relatively few problems can quickly escalate - and bad weather/illness across lots of flights can play hell with crew scheduling.
it's this reason that apps are starting to complain when you try do silly things. Outlook bitches about attachments, and if you don't read the warning then woe betide you. It even has a nice, easy to spot caution symbol. It even blocks (yes, blocks).scr,.bat,.exe and the rest of the common ones. It takes serious effort to actually open attachments Outlook flags as dangerous.
Thunderbird/Firefox take a similar approach, often forcing you to wait before you can click the 'OK' button.
SP2 takes it to stupid degrees, I had to turn off half the warnings to do something useful. If people upgrade (like they're being told to) then the system will suddenly take a whole lot more of the 'Is it dangerous?' out of the thought process.
The trouble then is collimating it - getting all the useful power emitted by the diode into a single beam could be fun since there's only so much light going in the same direction.
British student actually, so my time is technically worthless since I'm not employed. Yet I've had experience in running rural/ad-hoc living conditions, so it could be worth flying me in there with my education on sanitation, first aid etc.
I'll leave choosing the best people for the job to the pros though, and just donate what I earn through freelance stuff.

But only if you allow the universe to borrow energy in order to complete matter/energy transactions without destroying some essential particles, which would result in a lot of extra E and no M, increasing C (Which Einstein wouldn't be too pleased with)
The difference is that writing a cheque can actually be done - the average citizen if dropped into that situation would only add to the problem because they have no experience. However, donating will help the aid organisation get what's needed, get it into the country, and use it.
On the other hand, humans have strange minds. Helping someone rebuild their house to make takes precedence over giving them money. Give me a shovel and fly me the hell in there.
Similar concept, but not quite the same. I think del.icio.us is going to go exactly the same thing plus more soon though, since it's in more active development.
Since Mars has a thin atmosphere, very fast winds have very little actual 'push' - a 200mph wind on Mars has all the actual force of a light summer breeze.
I have an admin account on my computer with a specific username and password, noted down in the envelope which is to be opened if/when I die (Gods I'm only 17... that's depressing). Logging on to that account fires up an app with a third password, and emails that password to an account I specify (and walks the person through this).
Upon entering that final password, it prints out all my essential bits of paper, prints all the passwords for online accounts (which I want people to access), and pretty much burns everything else (and writes over the drive segments with the Bible in plain ASCII).
Not a dead man's switch, since it just sits there until someone uses it.
And yes, it's all backed up and can be accessed remotely over our network, or retrived from online. Restoration procedures are included in the original paperwork.
I think it was because SuprNova actually had active moderation and selection.
If, for example, I set up a site which crawled for.torrents, then automatically sorted (based on keywords) and checked them for things like download speed, number of seeds, number of clients etc. then AFAIK that would be legal because I take no part in active selection.
Some of us like the different flavours, you insensitive clod!
Seriously though, coffee comes in a wide range of flavours, not just 'Nescafe Instant'.Espresso-based coffees taste different to press coffees, which taste totally different depending on where the beans are from...
Think of it like wine. With a little bit of practice you can tell wines apart, same with coffee.
Embed a random email address in a webpage somewhere (i.e. in the source, with a 0 character hyperlink). Spammers, upon skimming the page, find the address ognewfir@domain.com, and promptly send it spam.
Your mailserver then automatically trains *anything* coming to that address as spam. Instant, self training bayesian filter (as long as you make sure you train some legitimate email from other accounts).
Some of the newer distros WILL be that pathetically slow.
Try a 'user friendly' install of something like Ubuntu on a box. Don't tweak it to get rid of services you don't want (since most people wouldn't know what a background service was if they sat on one) and then compare it with a vanilla install of the latest version of windows.
Notice the similarity?
Ubuntu (the nice new user-friendly one) ran like a dog on a machine which ran my nicely configured Windows XP without any problems. If I trimmed down the install, maybe I could squeeze out the same performance. Similar happened with Fedora and Mandrake.
To summarize - Modern Linux distros that say they are 'Plug And Play' are on a par speed-wise with 'Plug And Play' Windows.
With Windows and Macs, you can just jump in and do stuff. With Linux, even if you have a GUI, there's no chance without referring to the man pages. And how do you know you need to go "man ???" to get a help page?

Sword as a wedding gift, nice one.
It's a shame that code is no longer recognised as something requiring skill, just a load of badly paid students working overtime to churn it out.

I agree with you there - the styling is excellent although it could grind after a full film of it.
Still, major kudos to the lighting techs to get some of those shots!

Oh, and mods? Offtopic? Come on!
It may just be my copy of Firefox, but the link at the bottom of that article (to the actual AF website) throws up a dodgy server certificate warning.
There goes any hint of faith I may have had in this being secure.

Your "creationism is incompatible with evolutionism" argument is weak old man.
Okay, enough religion. It just grinds with me when people say things like that (and as AC no less!)

Your Car: OMG ACCIENT AAAAARGH GO ANOTHER WAY
The other 200 cars within 2 miles: Hmm, road a bit slow. Nothing major.
One car screaming will at best attract the interest of the police wanting to know why it's only your car that can spot the 16 overturned lorries.

I reckon Americanised English should be given its own name. I agree with parent, "English" is taken.
Now you made me hungry. Thank you very much!
