Call me a fool, but 7 years ago when I was in my last HS year I said something somewhat like what is depicted in the article. I said that the universe is just like a 3d bubble wave in cheese whiz. I made up that theory because I believe our universe to be part of a cycle, be finite and can't conceive there can't be nothing past the finite border. This does not explains what happens past our universe, but I'm happy rejecting your reality and substituting my own.
Rejecting accepted reality makes you happier in life until you are forced to recognize it.
1- There is no gas lines available in this guy's town (very few cities have it in quebec)
2- Sewer lines are burried under the road. So there's no problem digging in your backyard.
Seriously, getting the levy back to compensate the music industry is utterly stupid now that everyone has portable music players. What are disks (CDs are dead...or will soon be) used for nowaday if not for legit file backup purposes? It's been ages since I've had a mp3 on a CD...
First, protective gear is useless for downhill skiing since you don't to hit anything as it will slow you down. And if you fall, you want to be as loose as possible to avoid injuries. All you'll hit is a set of nets anyway.
For GS skiing this might be usefull for arm and thigh pads but the protective padding actually used already does the job.
For SL this would be useless too as molded shin pads do an awesome job. They don't get in the way and you never think about them during you runs.
I would be very surprised a racer would express a strong interest for that product. I race and I really don't feel any need for this.
On the other hand, as previously stated this could be extremely usefull for other sports and activities, but not skiing.
Against an unsuspecting opposing force, I'm pretty sure bunny hopping and crouching would work for a couple years.

On a serious note now, considering my experience as a long time America's Army player and warfare coordinator of my clan, I'm totally confident in saying that playing FPS matches is the next best thing to RL when it comes to learning and testing strategies as well as learning how to behave during an operation.
Pakistan and india are the only two countries that I know of where many of the geeks are women who are good looking and its considered a good thing to be living with your parents as an adult until you are married...think about it!
...Is all you need. Rock solid specialized Linux distro built from LFS http://www.ipcop.org/. It has all the advantages of commercial hardware routers, it's easy to customize and you'll be online in 30 minutes. Just get yourself an old P3 500 w 256 Mo of RAM and a decent HD (if you intend to run snort and get quite a lot of traffic). I have 4 servers on my lan and run it on a P166 w 64 Mo of RAM. The TCO of this baby in my case has been roughly 4 hours of work + electricity for the last 3 years.
Well, not where I live. We frequently get -30 C in the winter and we have single doors. Granted they are well insulated doors with thermos windows but I've never seen double insulated doors.
Pareto principle anyone? Writing good code takes time, and time is usually what is lacking most in dev projects. Clients want the most features they can get in the smallest amount of time. The problem is, coding 80% of the requirements will take 20% of your time (assuming the requirements meet each and every desire of your client, which luckly enough rarely happen). And beleive me, that last 20% will hurt you. That's when you have to start cutting corners. You cannot code a perfect complex system since it would take an unlimited amount of time (chimeric inversely proportional relation). The problem is that developers tend to focus too much on features. Learn to deal the requirements so they include 80% of what the client would like implemented in his wildest dreams. So you'll end up with 80% of the most usefull features and best bang for bucks for the client and less head banging and a project finished on time on your side.
In fact, doors open outward in most buildings around the world to allow the door to let people out easily/faster in case of an emergency. House doors in north america normally open inward as a warm welcome message to guests. There is always a reason for things to be as they are.
News for nerds. Stuff that matters.
Really?!?!?
What are news? things we dont know about. What matters? news.
I guess everyone has got to be disillusioned every once in a while...
Now is the time for me to go post in noobs.slashdot.org
If you are caught drunk driving, your license will be suspended for 12 months and you get a 600 USD fine (minimum 1st offense sentence). However, for roughly 1400 USD more (for 8 months) you can have a device installed on your car that will allow you to get your license back after 3 months. For the car to even start, you have to blow in the device and it checks your alcool level. Random checks can even happen while you're driving. You then have a certain amount of time to blow in it again else the engine will stop.
What's expensive with this kind of device is the calibration since you need to have it checked every 2 months. I'd be surprised the device this guy came up with dont need any calibration since blood alcool content has to be checked against an alcool sample in the device for it to give accurate readings.
And I'll tell them what to do. That's why there are IT business degrees. I have tons of great ideas, but I'm not a great coder. I'm the missing link to success, lets team up.

Just to find out it was now broken. Validate!? Again!?! WTF...so I patched it...hehe
They must have told a 1st year CS intern to make this up a friday afternoon.
...back in 2001 when I was still squeezing every bit of ressources out of my 1996 P166, killing all unneeded services, but I hardly do it anymore.
But with all the processing power we can get for pennies nowaday, who can say he really needs to do this when you have and A64 and a gig of RAM?
TFA would have been insightfull 5 years ago. Luckly enough http://dhost.info/kyeu/mirror/blackviper/ was there when I needed it.

That's it, I'm outsourcing myself.
