Military taking the lead on computing as usual. Just for the record, Los Alamos is a civilian laboratory run by the Dept. of Energy. It's not a military laboratory (i.e., run by the DoD) -- despite what the New York Times might say.
I'm not much of a student of C#, so I'm always curious when someone says something like this. Are there reasonable versions of C# running on anything other than Windows? I use Java on Linux, AIX, IRIX, HP Tru64, Solaris, and OS X. Hypothetically speaking, when will I be able to switch over to C# on all these systems?
I think this is really a head-up display. A heads-up display would be more like something that warns you when you are about to be beaned by a baseball.
Actually it doesn't use the normal 3 tone signal that people are used to getting for a disconnected number. It uses a single short tone that sounds pretty much just like an answering machine beep. So it may confuse people into trying to leave a message before your answering machine (if any) is ready, but they are not going to think they got an invalid number.
I've noticed that newspaper writers often slap the "top secret" label on things just for dramatic effect and don't seem to realize that it has a fairly specific meaning, at least to the government. As you imply, it would be highly improbable that a top secret computer system would be accessible via the internet.
... with a fully inflated diameter of 58.5 meters (193 feet) and height of 35 meters (115 feet).
Hmmm, that would make its diameter more than 100 feet shorter than an American football field. Not exactly the "size of a domed football stadium." Arena football perhaps?
It may not prevent then from slamming you, but why don't you just hang up on phone solicitors? You have no obligation to be nice these bottom feeders. If everyone just did this one simple act then we could wipe this scourge off the face of the earth.
If you just can't help yourself, then look into getting anonymous caller rejection, if it's available in your area. This screens out most of these morons because they block their own calling ID's, since they certainly don't want *you* to know what *their* number is.

You missed a few:

So it looks like we have JVMs for, at least, Linux, Solaris, Windows, OS X, Irix, AIX, HP-UX, Tru64, OpenVMS, OS/2, and z/OS.
What was the list of platforms for C# and .NET again?
