Gold being soft means less force is required to make a good low-resistance electrical contact. So gold is the king of conductors for contact applications. Add to that the fact that it doesn't corrode or oxidize under normal conditions, it beats the two better conductors (at room temperature), silver and copper.
HURD was aiming to be a general purpose OS, not a realtime or embedded secure OS. That said, just by looking at its CVS, looks like HURD became undead over a year ago. It's ok, GNU has given us everything else an operating system needs, probably Linux and the BSDs sapped the life & development mindshare out of HURD.
and you believe this statement makes it nonrandom? your reasoning is flawed. It sounds like random noise and just as well might have been produced that way for the same end result.
and it just as likely could mutate into a form that causes one day of sneezing followed by a bout of the ripping shits. Honestly, we could make a list 1,000 items long about horrible things that could kill you soon.
If you're asked that question, things aren't too bad. Now when the Nuclear Regulatory Commission holds hearings to speculate on what you might have been doing when you vaporized yourself and everything within the good old 2 * unit n wide by 0.25 * n unit deep crater, that's bad. And if another intelligent race n lightyears away is wondering what in the hell you did doing exactly n years ago, why that's a real screwup. Bonus points for getting noticed in another galaxy.
You Unicode fans might like to know that Japanese in Unicode is not done well, it leaves much to be desired for computation/sorting/searching in the three character/pictograph sets in use by average literate Japanese person. Other encodings are prefered and more useful
where? in the United States of America, of course. When? About 1970, when as a child I noticed some of my father's brothers and sisters were treated differently by police than average folk. My father was older than them and was average clean-cut late 50's - early 60's looking guy, his younger siblings either had somewhat "hippie" or "liberal intellectual" look going on. Guess who got called "sir" and who was hassled & spot checked for contraband?
actually, Microsoft and Novell and others have done their darndest to make email a filesystem. Not only with folders and subfolders, but with ability to store documents and notes in folders also. Searchable, archivable, what a nifty filesystem!
wrong, the PRIVACY of a citizen is being violated without warrant, because the government thinks an honest person MIGHT now be a criminal. By default, is none of the government's damn business why a citizen should choose to move or spend a large amount of money.
I'm amazed at the junk science out of india that gets quoted in mainstream news sources: solar panels that produce more electrical power per unit area than the sun shines on earth, motors 150% more efficient than existing ones, etc. So some red/brown rain fell (not an unusual event on this planet, actually), and some folks collected gunk out of street gutters and puddles, and they're saying it contains organic compounds. No shit! or more likely, much shit, and piss too (if you've been to average Indian city you know what I'm saying!
oh, you know the net potential energy of a unit mass of poo? Dung does burn (and some critters even eat it), so it's not the end point of biological processes.
Don't get the Mark imprinted in your forehead or right hand, instead opt to have it implanted in your left buttocks. After all, we're admonished to turn the other cheek.
The energy stored in a permanent magnet (from rotated domains held from returning to their equilibrium condition) is called magnetic energy density, and is given in SI units of KJ/m^3. A more common unit used to be the Mega Gauss-Oersted (MGOe). T [1 MGOe = 8 kJ/m^3]. For most nifty permanent magnets, the KJ/m^3 value will be in the 20's to 30's. Now consider the volume of magnets that would fit in a motor you could hold in your hand, and thence calculate the energy density. Then calculate the effect of releasing ALL this energy in one minute, say of a 100mm x 10mm x 10mm magnet, releasing its 0.3 J in 60 seconds, for a whopping 0.005 Watts of power, leaving an unmagnetized lump of metal. Impressed?
this was a county "homeland security" department, for what purposes that county decided to make one, who knows. Now if you want to get excited about the U.S. attourney general and pr0n, that would be better.
funny, all the hot internet sites I use work very well without any of that crap turned on - eBay, google, yahoo, amazno, various news sites, even slashdot. Maybe your company might see the beginning of the end as more and more people become security conscious.
it does strain the liver to metabolize, but I'd wager doctors know how to administer the proper dose for a good-enough buzz without undue burden on the organ
probably no one is tracking east african suicides, for one. East african mortality rate greater than one in ten, life expectency just over 30 years, plagues running rampant - does cause of death even get noticed or recorded there for the majority?

ah, so MS-DOS is between CP/M and Windows

oh I see, like the way true computer geeks running an actual Operating System look down on wannabees running Windows

heh, you're right about the counter balancing of the weight, but it's done via forces on the center-of-mass through a cable, and that's tension.
managed to hit one around 100m down the road
so that's how they've tricked you all into helping them to spread at 60km/year instead of the expected 10km/year.
the cable or track is connected to a counterweight, *past* a point where a geosyncronous satellite would go, putting tension on it. funky stuff!

meant to say "infant mortality" rate. There are other over half a dozen countries in Africa where it's even one in five.
it becomes a chemistry thing when the decay produces some other element, that doesn't hang onto some other part of a molecule anymore!
