I doubt that you'll get a lot of shear force across the pipe to cause a break into. Copper is pretty malleable so it deform first, but if you giant cracks in your basement floor and walls, then I think the least of your worries is a copper pipe breaking.
If this thing is autopilot (for whatever reason) and doesn't come under anyone's control, then is there a way for the world to block it out? Tricking it into stopping?
One thing that bugged me about the Iranian proxy thing is that why didn't the Iranian gov't block out all content to the outside world except for IPs on a whitelist instead of continuously adding to a blacklist. This would've taken care of the people hitting external proxies.
A couple of months ago, I would've argued that joe-six-pack wouldn't know what a proxy-server is and how to use it, but after seeing what was happening in Iran over the last couple of months I think maybe joe-six-pack is more web savvy than I gave him credit for.
Could the netherlands follow Iran's footsteps and show that the Judge doesn't get it?
It is more concerning that he is the only admin for the project, and if they are hurting now when he is taking a sabbatical / vacation / whatever, then the project will be in a lot of pain if the guy gets hit by a bus tomorrow.
They should have multiple people who can play the same role and able to share the duties.
Then how about Google giving everyone cloud space when they install the OS to use as a backup. And if / when they reinstall the OS or do a timemachine, it should be able to connect to the cloud and retrieve and restore whatever is there.
Google should be able to make this easy for people to utilize, and require little or no knowledge of CLI or other cludgy Linux interfaces to backup to or restore from the cloud.
Programming in C gives you more control over managing memory, but the price comes if the programmer is not careful about collecting the garbage up afterwards and you'll end up with the application taking more and more memory and your computer will eventually starting slowing down and could start complaining about not enough memory.
A friend has a 6-year old boy with Asperger's as well and I never met a kid that smart in my life. He has noticeable ticks and habits, but the remarkable thing most people remember about him are his reading and writing are at a level I would believe at least 5 grades higher, and remembers everything. And what kind of kid at 6 can do math (multiple and divide 2 and 3 digit numbers) in his head without breaking a sweat; he's a walking calculator.
Does anyone know how much energy is lost turning the extra wheel + friction?
And does that amount of energy gained greater than the amount to drive the gyros and electronics?
How do you park the thing? And trying to pick up 300 lbs of car is not going to be fun (trying picking up a dumped motorcycle).
After reading your post, I went back to the place where I bought my EeePC, and I am very surprised they don't offer the linux variants anymore.
And what else that surprises me is the prices are much much higher.
Windows and Linux aren't designed for PCs beyond quad-core chips [CC], and programmers are to blame for that.
Developers are not the problem. The problem lies further upstream with whomever is creating the functional and technical requirements. Developers develop against those requirements, and if there wasn't a specification for 8 cores, then don't expect it.
I don't think that follows. If I camped outside someone's house, took notes of when they arrived and left, perhaps viewed them through the window if they didn't draw the curtains, followed them whereever they went in public, most people would call that snooping, even though I never trespass on private property.

You're probably stuck unless you decide to build your own laptop.

Why buy a $100 netbook then have to buy a $90 external backup hard drive?
How about storing the data on the cloud instead?
All that exercise sounds like work, and I think that what we are trying to avoid.
Now SCO is in BK court
I've heard of kangaroo courts, but not burger king courts.... mmmm... getting hungry... what were we talking about it?
sometimes you just want a hammer
When the only tool you have is a hammer, then all problems start looking like a nail.

Amazing kid.
But she's the fire that lights my loins :(
Yeah, I was thinking about this too. The cross area for wind drag on this thing would be much higher than for a motorcycle.

A canadian website has a slightly different take on it.

I can quit anytime the court orders me.

Here in Calgary (Canada), we are going the opposite direction. These red light cameras are now going to be used to catch speeders on green lights as well. And the police want to ticket people for careless driving as well ($400).

There were a lot of "I" in the parent post. Nowhere did I see "I" meaning private investigator.

I would call that stalking.
Are you Hans Reiser?
When I saw the picture of him releasing those misquotes, I thought of Mr Burns from the simpsons...
Release the hounds!!!
