After the water has been through the purification system, they add iodine. They don't need to, but the water is so pure it tastse weird, so iodine is added to make it more familiar.
Brilliant. Refer to a craze for pgp disk encryption, then worry about problems suggest by an article from 1999 !!! (nine years ago) about some software for Windows 95.

etc. The others are similar scams, they want you to give your email address, sent them money by credit card, or by SMS, and have bogus stamps of officialdom and verisign secured etc.
Of course, when the scammers want in, it means the project is a success.
Front page article on Cambridge institutions and their assets in the credit crunch. To quote:
Cambridge Union [debating society] President Adam Bott said:
The two services we offer are drinking and arguing, both always in demand in tough times. Broadly speaking our current strategy is to spend our way through the recession. Economist friends tell me this is akin to smoking your way through a heart attack, but if there's one thing we ought to have learned, it's that economists can't be trusted.
Voting on the machine produces one piece of paper, which the voter can check.
The electronic result can be announced the same day. Small samples of paper votes can be checked immediately to confirm the machines worked as intended. If a problem arises, all of papers can be counted slowly.
Look at some of the small bug numbers (2000) on the mozilla bugzilla.
Firefox 3 has regressions from Netscape 4. For example, you can no longer middle click a submit button to submit the form in a new tab. That bug is ten years old. Someone commented, "if this was an other kind of mistake, it would be elementary school by now".
Freedom of information Act applies to public bodies. Use it more!

The act is a good thing, but lacking, you can only ask questions and get spun replies, not access to documents.
gathering intelligence and preparing a world class emergency response team
I propose a satellite in polar orbit, so that it can intercept radio signals from any point on the surface. The signals would be fed on tape into a computer, which would monitor them for signs of distress. In such an event, the computer operator would communicate with the secret base of the emergency response team. This would need to be away from population centres, so would not come under attack, but able to react quickly. An island in the Pacific would be the ideal location. This response team would respond to disasters in an area of the world, so I propose the name délivrance internationale. It would need multiple craft capable of reaching any disaster zone quickly. I suggest one very fast aircraft, we'll call this one 1, which could reach the dangerous zone in minutes of disaster, and secure the area A second slower craft, 2 would carry more equipment specific to the disaster. I propose a number of capsules, or pods, each of which would carry equipment relevant to a class of disasters. A third craft could reach space, and a fourth underwater.
I have a nokia 6120c . It 's a smartphone in disguise. Looks like a standard phone, no large screen, but it runs symbian, and hence putty. http://s2putty.sourceforge.net/ It's bearable, but I wouldn't want to use it for much . One problem I find is that the connection breaks if unused for a short time.
I use ssh a) to cheat on crosswords (i wrote an alias for grep/usr/share/dict/words) b) to confuse friends by making my computer play james brown - i feel good by itself (again, another alias)
Certainly on the screen I have, you wouldn't want to much with it seriously. I pay £5 / month for unlimited data (web browser and email more useful than ssh), and then, like everybody else, pay a ridiculous mount for 150 byte text messages. Crazy, huh?
Oh, and you have an ordinary phone keypad, here is the list of passwords (length >=5 ) that you can type quickly (thanks again grep): adapt,gamma,madam,magma,pajama,pawpaw
Passwords in Firefox and Thunderbird are not encrypted, merely obfuscated. in edit / preferences / security / saved passwords in firefox it will display all passwords saved.

You are wrong!

That's why you persuade the boss to invest in those trendy virtualisation solutions.
You can run the keygens in an emulator like wine, or some virtual machine,
But seriously, ick.
The Man Who Loved Only Numbers, the biography of Erdos, is hilarious.

Twitter has problems with downtime. Aas the number of users has grown (approximately exponentially, until approaching saturation), so has downtime.
In 2011, twitter downtime will surpass 365 days per year.

The two biggest culprits of vendor lock-in are Microsoft and Apple (Office and the iPod). Both companies are American.

Give time. Write documentation. Create artwork. Work on the website. Translate. Spread the word.
You don't have to know how to code to give back.
Yes it is.. END CARRIER JOKE
No really, I have fewer problems with beta 5 in Ubuntu hardy than I did with firefox 2.
Probably Euclid's algorithm, which finds the greatest common divisors of two integers a, b.
let c be the remainder on diving a by b.
if c = 0, b is the greatest common divisor.
else run the algorithm on b, c.
Euclid ~ 300 BC , the algorithm might be a little older.
Agree, I'm sure the patient was rather elsewhere.
Middle Earth school science teachers. I like that.
I think you're confusing selling out with being successful.

Multimedia sucks.
I'd wager that most of the 45% increase is down to domain spamming.
