According to good old Wikipedia, Slackware is not quite the oldest distro. The earliest were MCC Interim Linux, TAMU and SLS (Softlanding Linux System). AFAIK Slackware is, however, the oldest distro that is still under active development.
IIRC, Impulse = (force applied) * (time it was applied for).
Surely you could safely impart an arbitrarily large amount of momentum to the device, provided you did it over a large amount of time?
It would be interesting if it were true... Two of those THREE are NOT american
The link you supplied gives me a 404. However I was able to find this which gives me links to the following lists. The following are the top six (sorted by market value):
With all due respect, RTFA. As has been pointed out elsewhere in these comments, the 44-88 pounds is just some arbitrary load whose motion generates the electricity. It can be food, water, contraceptives, whatever you like.
It doesn't look like it's nearly up to the task of being the fretting hand
If you need it on the left, maybe you could pre-program it with the correct hand shapes for various chords - 3 should be enough to play some Oasis anyway:-) - and you could get quite far with bar chords too...
I guess it's possible you could end up with several still-large pieces of comet travelling on more or less the original trajectory - and then you'd have more targets to deal with than when you started. I think early deflection would seem to be a better plan.
...Horst Uwe Keller of the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research and co-workers used the Rosetta mission - which is on its way to another comet called Churyumov Gerasimenko - to survey the collision at from a distance of 80 million kilometres over a period of 17 days. Again they found that the relative amount of organic material being ejected increased following the impact...
So, if such comets are life seeders, maybe we just increased the likelihood of life evolving elsewhere in our solar system in a few billion years:-) How does it feel to be potential parents to an alien species?
I felt the AC who responded to Luke Psywalker had misunderstood Luke's post... so I thought I'd try to clarify things (of course, it is possible I misunderstood). Can't suggest anything specifically wrong with QPL as I'm quite happy with it:-)
i probably would have said "well that's a complicated question. w/ the music i listen to, i'm all about intricate beat patterns, or interesting melodic lines (or both preferably). If you want an explanation of why humans enjoy music, that's a different issue."
That honestly would be your reply to "do you like music"? Bear in mind this question was not asked in the context of a properly set up Turing test - it was basically just some IM chit-chat, which has been "reinterpreted" as having something vaguely to do with Turing tests, after the fact.
Ah, but would you leap to conclusions after asking only one question (do you like music)? I trust not, because you are a more intelligent individual than the shymuffin32s of this world.

It's true! Witness the signs!
I'd have thought that the existing botnets would be more efficient for spamming than setting up a home SMTP server?

Total impulse maybe?

even if you keep it in a sock you still get those little scartches
Not to mention a somewhat cheesy music collection.
I'm afraid I'm posting from work :-( so I sometimes miss stuff being posted while I'm covertly composing replies... my apologies.
I see I was beaten to it. Apologies for duplicating info.... :-)

This compares to the following top 6 by profit:

be careful while jogging past another person wearing one with more negative electrons than yours
I'd be even more worried about people with positive ones. BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
With all due respect, RTFA. As has been pointed out elsewhere in these comments, the 44-88 pounds is just some arbitrary load whose motion generates the electricity. It can be food, water, contraceptives, whatever you like.
According to the article:
Suspended-load Backpack testers were able to generate up to 7.4 Watts...
Everyone knows that walking chick magnets require several kilowatts to operate, so you'll have to jog rather quickly :-)
Great! Now I can assasinate people while listening to the Kill Bill soundtrack!
Admittedly, yes, but hey at least now he knows how much it costs ;^)

Here you go... it's 126.50 GBP per year, or you can pay monthly by direct debit (which works out a little cheaper).

GP said totally GPL'd, i.e. ditch the QPL.
Fair enough then ;^) - btw I personally prefer a rich harmonic structure, with interesting modulation.
nothing (correctly and articulately written) could shake their belief in that
Perhaps that was part of his problem: his writing style seemed out of context.

I think by this point he was just fed up with trying to prove his fleshiness to his inquisitors.
