I don't think anyone asks about the compressor when buying a fridge. If it has the right volume and features, they will buy it. Bonus points if the salesman can say that there's no moving parts to break.
Just write a script that uses nslookup to get website names for all valid IP addresses and append it to/etc/hosts. If I did my math right, the worst case scenario is about 600 GB (1024^3 naturally) for the IPv4 at least.
(possible IPs) * (maximum # of characters for TLD + Domain + subdomain + IP (I think 150 should cover this except the new TLDs))
(256^4 * 150) / 1024 ^3 = 600 GB. Realistically it would probably be a lot less because most of the IPs would not resolve and because of RFC 1918 addresses. So 2 750 GB hardrives running raid would give you a secure internet. First one done gets 200 nerd points. Just remember to update it regularly from non-poisoned DNS servers.:-p
If NASA had that attitude we'd probably have thousands of blown rocket husks laying about the island of Florida's thousand of craters.
Considering where NASA had to start from, I think their management style has worked best to get us where we are now. Which style will lead us best forward remains to be seen.
The best definition of life I've heard to date is still "we know it when we see it (usually)". Most the others don't include everything or include things that aren't really alive.
I just got a patent on giant space traffic signs to divert and manage traffic flow. More effective and it does not get stuck in space mud. Plus I can't get sued if my product fails! hahaha I'll be rich.
Its loosely bound, sounds like a good test of a fairly large bomb, preferably not nuclear unless we're sure it won't rain back down on us.
If its a solid, then I'm wondering how effective a tractor beam will be, I'm guessing if we're worried about the asteroid and noticed it in time to do something, it will be 10^xxx the mass of the craft we send at a minimum. The beam will enact equal forces on both, and if they collide it will somewhat cancel any benefit its had. If it doesn't I can't imagine it will have much effect at all and will need tons of energy.
Might as well teach people to tuck and cover again.
I realize your probably a troll, but the thing people keep forgetting is that the numbers for Vista are overstated. They go by licenses sold. This laptop is a "Vista box" even though its only running Mint Linux and XP just because it has a Vista license on the bottom.
I mostly only use Linux, and don't plan on getting Win7 unless there aren't enough new games for linux. Then again I'm mostly playing nethack now.
Anti-religious posts get modded up for the simple fact that conventional, organised religion is a load of untestable, unprovable nonsense and this fact has been known since at least the time of Thomas Paine.
I can't resist the urge to point out that this was true of most scientific facts until we discovered tests and then proved them. Lots of advanced physics theories that I can't begin to grasp would probably fall into the untestable and unprovable category as well.
Also, if there was definitive and undeniable proof of God, it would kill any meaningful notion of free will in religion.
The caveat to organized religion and extremist religion is that its really politics and not religion.
When crazies say God / Science / cowboy neal made me do it, chances are they're just crazy (except maybe the cowboy neal part). We should treat them as crazies and not their respective religion, science, or nealism.
Religion, much like science has done a lot for humanity. Don't forget the early humanism movement which came from the church methodically explored science as a means of understanding their religion.
Do not promote personal agendas. Do not let your opinions factor in. Try to be impartial about this. Simply disagreeing with a comment is not a valid reason to mark it down. Likewise, agreeing with a comment is not a valid reason to mark it up. The goal here is to share ideas. To sift through the haystack and find needles. And to keep the children who like to spam Slashdot in check.
I think if this was taken more seriously, people wouldn't have to post as AC when posting a point that goes against the grain.
This is slashdot. It leans far left and toward science and aways away from Microsoft, MPAA/RIAA, and SCO.
For supposedly trying to be neutral, a lot more posts negative of religion or the right get modded up. The GP could be -1 troll as easily as +5 insightful. Unfortunately the modding doesn't work and you have to post AC if your not following the official prejudices.
Yes, clearly its easier to believe everything is controlled by big business and GOP members than its a panicked market responding to what it thinks is good news.
Slashdot Mirror
After 25 years of research the leading scientist discovered he also had the gene.
Very true. I was thinking rot, which is oiled. Now we just need some silver dragons. :)
This is what happens when I spend too much time reading Slashdot and not enough time playing nethack.
Sign me up for a blessed +5 waterproof one.

Depends, how do you feel about having your PC in the fridge?
I don't think so. It looks like someone replaced it with a bunch of old unedited articles with a bunch of trolls.
It *can't* be slashdot.

Who needs passports to get into a country anyway?
Moss would be nice, plus its soft enough to walk on, if you don't mind it being a little moist and squishy all the time.

I wish I could mod down the editorialization.
But if you did that correctly, there wouldn't be enough karma left to bring Slashdot to your inbox.
They're way off if they think that we don't watch sports or that we have girlfriends.
Makes up for all the "Vista" machines that are running Linux now. This laptop for example :).
I would also guess that most of the people who know how to switch operating systems tend to head in the opposite direction of what you suggest.

Don't forget small game hunting!
What if we use our entire arsenal in the last 50 miles or so to create an explosive cushion between the earth and the asteroid?
