What happens when you hit a patch of oxygen poor water? Better have some reserve oxygen in the design just in case.
Looks like your really trading an oxygen limit for a battery limit.
A centrifuge. Ah, wonder what the trade off is between swimming with a heavy tank and swimming with a spinning mass are like. Hope the moment of inertia isn't too big.
Wonder what other gasses you'll be collecting from the ocean along with your oxygen. Might not want to use this baby around any volcanic vents and such.
This is just another chapter in the eternal profit war.
Big companies use contractors because they are cheaper than full time w/benefits employees. Saves them money so they can have a better bottom line.
The IRS, in an attempt to keep some of their tax money, has created a set of rules defining "real" employee criteria. Otherwise, large corps would fire the FTEs and contract them back, saving tons on taxes and benefits.
Sounds like HP has pushed their contracting policy far enough that someone has noticed and decided to cash in on it.
Bad for HP. Good for those of us who would like to have a real job with benefits. Great for the lawyer who will probably make more than anybody.
I also do security reviews for customers. Probably the most useful security application I've purchased is L0phtCrack (used both LC4 and LC5). It makes auditing password compliance on windows networks painless. Other than LC5, all of the security tools I use are open source.
My experience with the commercial security software is they are trying to transfer the intelligence requirements from the user into the application. Great for some things, security isn't one of them.
An intelligent user with an intelligent application is a powerful combination. But an uneducated user with an intelligent application is just asking for trouble.
Now, given the application vendor claims the application is easy to use, what kind of person is the pointy haired boss going to hire to run it?
Having done part of my class work at a more famous university in Oklahoma, I'd recommend the UCO Physics department for the smaller class sizes.

Slashdot Mirror
Actually, us real geeks didn't get to this until Saturday afternoon. We were too busy playing online games last night to read Slashdot.
Even Windows has problems with that task.
It adds 30+ names to your IM buddy list that you can't remove, and then prop'o'gates to everyone in your buddy list.

If everybody was a rocket scientist, we'd have more uses for rockets.
Think of this as trying to upgrade from Windows NT to Windows 2000. Sometimes things break in a version upgrade.
If your going to put it on a spare box, you won't be upgrading anything, so this issue shouldn't effect you.

Now where is my flame proof armor....
Yes. That is exactly the item I missed. :)
BMSMA (Bite my shiny metal ass).
I read the article.
Now maybe I missed the graphic of the emergancy air supply on the "purty" picture. But the FA didn't address the rest of my questions.

I'd put a sig in, but it'd get trolled too.

Niffty way to enhance the /. effect to include your e-mail server too.

If we were all rocket scientists, there would be more uses for rockets.
And build electromagnets into the doorways a la SnowCrash.

Yea, yea, I know a sig goes here.

I call that 24K tech support syndrome.

Yea, yea, I'll get around to a sig sometime...
At that length I doubt most /.ers will actually read before commenting.

insert some trivial link here
It is difficult. But what worth doing isn't?
I don't know if it is the most difficult. All I have to compare it against is my elective coursework.
I did my course work at http://www.physics.ucok.edu/

In fact, you may not be qualified to do it if you don't think it is cool.
On the other hand, there are tons of cool physics experements that teachers could do in high school classrooms with the right equpment.
*disclaimer* I hold a B.S. in Engineering Physics
Up to date video cards, system boards, disk space, games, subscription MMORGs, broadband...
Sheese, maybe I'll go back to 2nd Edition AD&D...

Yea, yea, I'm sure I'll come up with a snappy sig soon
