They've used this material for watch-faces for quite some time, and I was wondering how long it would take to see it in more consumer-grade electronics (specifially screen protectors for non-touch applications). I know that I'm particularly abusive to my watch which is why I went with a tungsten-carbide band/case with sapphire crystal face on my latest purchase... I've scraped against concrete walls & smacked against steel supports with not so much as a scratch anywhere on the watch. Really, the thing is damn near unscratchable!
Movado and some of the other luxury watchmakers have lines of tungsten/sapphire watches, and I'm sure some off-brands do too - well worth it in my book.
After living and working in Alaska for a number of years, I think I could handle it. Eventually I'll have lived and worked on all seven continents... now if only I could get that Antarctic job down I'd be set. I have a feeling that those positions are few, and difficult to come by.
Yes and no... there is a single portal which is obviously a website, and a ton of underlying systems and architecture.
Imagery is originally produced by a number of systems, HTTP is used as a universal system; but the final product of everything shows up as effectively as a massive web portal (as well as being available though a WFS).
I like the title TCP master --- sounds kinda kinky.
The company/orgainization I work for has maintained the title of WebMaster in an the hyphenated form of "WebMaster-Network Administrator", and although the scope is massive I am the single point of failure. The organization has transitioned to use web-based applications for most of its functions, all of which were designed, and programmed by me.
We have customers that we support in a 24x7 operating enviornment globablly with 50+ million hits per month. We have 20+ GB of data fed through the site a day which is parsed, analyzed, databased, and dynamically displayed (and you guessed it, I run the suite of databases as well) with tools/page layout and navigation method put in place by me. I've put CMS systems in place to handle static content, of course - but nearly everything now is handled machine-to-machine with the interfaces between them in web-based platform allowing nearly seamless access to all of our data. Of course, there is always some new application they'd like, or some feature added to what currently exists, and I hear a question that starts with "Hey, would this be possible..." at least a few times a week.
Though I do have a team of administrators that handle the day-to-day management of patching the 50+ servers that are running scripts, and producing products, and though all content (primarily grapical in nature) is handled by a group of 130 individuals; the vast majority how they access data and the tools they use are all being designed and programmed from my desk.
Yes, it takes a large amount of specialized knowledge about MS, JavaScript, ColdFusion,.ASP, Oracle, CSS, etc., to keep the databases running smoothly, the servers running properly and the 20K+ lines of code between our intranet/extranet growing.

I've posted this before, but it always seems to help a few people out. I give my users access to an internal page like this one:
http://www.levii.com/cipher.php
It helps them come up with a strong password, and they just print out the card to keep in their wallet should they forget it. Since the page is *mostly* random - and *some* physical security is maintained on the password it's the best compromise I can come up with for my users.
I've often wondered. Why do you actually need to have physical access to the batteries to recharge them? I know my toothbrush, my razor, my phone and a number of other devices that I use every day use electromagnetic induction to recharge the batteries of devices. It seems more and more things are using it every day... so why not your pacemaker or any other type of implantable device too?
Please remember that a car is more than transportation to many of us. I'll be pretty upset if I suddenly can no longer perform a powerslide through a corner at my next SCCA event, a burnout the next time I go to the drag strip - or properly control slide on an ice track event. I have no problems doing any of this with my current cars, and expect I'll be able to still enjoy automotive sports as long as I can still drive.
There is a time and place for everything. Don't assume every asshat that talks about wanting to spin their tires is automatically going to be doing it on the street.
This isn't necessarily true. I am not in one of the end-game raiding guilds (and have no desire to be - due to the attitude of most people/time commitment), but would still like the great gear. After enough time running lower-level instances, helping guildmates, etc. I found that I'd accumulated a mass of wealth (a few thousand gold). What I did was discuss this with the leader of an end-game guild and bought myself a summon when they got to the boss that dropped a piece of equipment I wanted. When it dropped - it was handed to me in exchange for gold. Everyone won, the guild had paid for potions/repairs for a few runs...and I had my newest epic item (without any detriment to the in-game economy). Of course, this could be abused by somebody with a vast fortune of Ebay gold.
I've never, and I do mean NEVER, met anyone online or off who liked Outlook.
Now you've met another, with > 250,000 employees in the GAL, all of whom have the ability to digitally sign/encrypt message - schedule meetings, view calendars, have multiple shared mailboxes, etc., etc., etc. Outlook 2003 is pretty slick, and in all honesty, Exchange isn't too shabby either.
Progressive (or in the case of the US - Graduated) tax systems are necessary why? Same is true for deductions. A simplified flat tax system / use tax system could arguably generate MORE in taxes.

Couldn't you just keep the HDD in the microwave oven via a long SATA/ESATA connection?

Unfortunatley the camera (logs) is sitting on the other side of a brick wall (firewalled NAT device), so you really didn't see a thing.

Just a side note: Exchange is powered by SQL Server ... MS Access sucks.

Forbes has some great articles on the subject.
