How will the closing of the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository affect the development of more power plants? I would think a lack of waste storage could slow down the construction of new plants.

WRITE IN C (sung to The Beatles "Let it Be")
When I find my code in tons of trouble, Friends and colleagues come to me, Speaking words of wisdom: "Write in C."
As the deadline fast approaches, And bugs are all that I can see, Somewhere, someone whispers "Write in C."
Write in C, write in C, Write in C, write in C. LISP is dead and buried, Write in C.
I used to write a lot of FORTRAN, for science it worked flawlessly. Try using it for graphics! Write in C.
If you've just spent nearly 30 hours Debugging some assembly, Soon you will be glad to Write in C.
Write in C, write in C, Write In C, yeah, write in C. Only wimps use BASIC. Write in C.
Write in C, write in C, Write in C, oh, write in C. Pascal won't quite cut it. Write in C.
Guitar Solo
Write in C, write in C, Write in C, yeah, write in C. Don't even mention COBOL. Write in C.
And when the screen is fuzzy, And the editor is bugging me. I'm sick of ones and zeroes. Write in C.
A thousand people people swear that T.P. Seven is the one for me. I hate the word PROCEDURE, Write in C.
Write in C, write in C, Write in C, yeah, write in C. PL1 is 80's, Write in C. Write in C, write in C, Write in C, yeah, write in C. The government loves ADA, Write in C.
Sulfur is often added to steel (not just stainless) to make it easier to machine (faster machining, less wear of cutting bits, producing a lower cost). This is really beneficial in stainless steel, which is typically harder to machine than regular steel. The chromium in stainless steel hardens the more it is "worked" (milling, turning on a lathe, etc).
Take a look at Machinery's Handbook for detailed info.
How will this be enforced? I imagine it would require additional enforcement people on the local / state / federal level; this is one expansion of government I would approve of. But, how can it be enforced on spam coming from outside the USA? I can see professional spammers setting up accounts elsewhere to continue spewing forth their trash.
As a newbie, I look for nearly every bit of information I can find on Linux, be it on line or in print (I prefer printed matter since I read quite a bit while I'm away from my computers). I must have at least 15 different books on Linux, and at least twice that number of various magazines. Even though some information is duplicated between them, each book and mag has a few gems that aren't in any of the others. Maximum Linux was a great source of information for me, and the CD with each issue saved me a lot of download time.
Having read Allchin's statements, and listened to the interview with Red Hat's CTO, I get the impression that MS is growing afraid of not just Linux, but any open source OS or software. Allchin's statement ''I worry if the government encourages open source, and I don't think we've done enough education of policymakers to understand the threat'' raises my eyebrow a bit: here's a company under government scrutiny (not to mention the potential breakup) suddenly running towards that same government for protection??? Anyone else see just a teensy bit of hypocrisy here?
Personally, I think MS is slowly killing itself, with new OS versions that appear to be little more than upgrades / bug fixes / new bugs, demands for fast performance on only the latest-and greatest hardware, and insanely high prices for OSes and software. We don't need the DoJ to stop MS, they're stopping themselves just fine, and trying to blame the Open Source community for their failings.
I spent four years as a sonar technician on the USS Los Angeles (SSN-688). If there was one thing any crewmember learned, it's that putting noise in the water is a bad bad thing. We went out of our way to ensure that our sub was as quiet as possible; doing our best to avoid being detected by anyone. This sonar e-mail system may be fine when counter-detection is not a concern, but far more bandwidth is available by transmitting e-mail (and any other messages) via a radio link, and far more security.

So this is the modern version of punch cards?

That's way faster than I could solve the cube...
By peeling and re-applying the stickers.
But did the opening verse sound a bit like Dr. Frank Furter? Time warp, anyone???
Then the rest sounding a bit like slow Iron Maiden... *headbang*
Max points for coolness, geekiness, and creativity!
Version 10 (2002) is crap.
Version 11 is complete crap.
I could be wrong, but...
It looks to me like WP version 10 and CorelDraw 11 were released while MS had ownership...
Doesn't look like Embrace and Extend to me...

I want to know what gives the BSA the right to audit any company. What happens if a company refuses to co-operate?

For something a little different, scan in your favorite anti-hero: Hot Grits Boy, Bill Gates, Natalie Portman, script kiddies, etc. and frag away...
