If my high school chemistry serves me right: A molecule of Uranium is ~92 times bigger than a molecule of Hydrogen. What kind of molecules are they using?

Yeah,
*writing from the base of Cheyenne Mountain (AKA NORAD)* No 5th plane here. Plus, Gov. Owens has the Air National Guard patrolling the skies.
"We will try to stop cheating(hacking/priacy/whatever), but we know we can't," says Mark Jacobs, CEO of game developer Mythic Entertainment in Fairfax, Virginia. "Anyone in this industry who tells you they can deal with hacking is a liar."
Does this qualify as doublespeak?
One solution I see is to make a game where "cheating" is allowed, or even encouraged. IMO, an OSS/GPL-ed game would be able to keep up w/ the cheaters.
Thats not what the article says...
"Office 2001, the current version for Macintosh systems, would run on OS X in the so-called ``classic'' environment that enables older programs to work with the new system, Browne said. Office 2001 has sold about 250,000 copies since it hit shelves in October, topping Microsoft's expectations.
But the upcoming version of Office would be written specifically for OS X, Browne said."
When the Mindcraft benchmarks came out, I found this article: What the tests prove. Basically says benchmarks are pointless cause the bottleneck is your connection.
From the end of the article: "Let's be clear about this: if you have only 5 T1 lines or less, a single CPU Linux box with 256 MB RAM will wait on your internet connection and not be able to serve up to its full potential. Let me reemphasize this: ZD's tests prove that a single CPU Linux box with 256 MB RAM running apache will run faster than your internet connection!. Put another way, if your site runs on 5 T1 lines or less, a single CPU Linux box with 256 MB RAM will more than fulfill your needs with CPU cycles left over."
I feel that popularity is a non-issue when it comes to things Internet. Look at what happend with the Blair Witch Project. They threw up half a dozen or so web sites talking about the movie, made a couple trailers to show to mainstream public, and POW, instant success. By posting this question to/. they have already laid the foundation for success. I'm sure that if only 10% of/. aggree to a donation between $5 and $10 they would have enough money to get started. Of course what to do when that initial fundage runs out is important to keep in mind.
NPR had a segment this week on the SPP. They remarked that Steven King has already recouped monies from 3/4 of downloads. The other example they cited was a British rock band that has recieved 100,000 pounds in advance for a promise of an advance CD. They have made enough money to produce the album themselves. Listen to it in RealAudio at http://search.npr.org/cf/cmn/cmnpd01fm.cfm?PrgDate=08/29/2000&P rgID=2. (bottom of the page).
I just ran through the tax estimator at the web site. Seemed fine to me. I also did my taxes online last year. I will be sorely dissapointed if I am unable to do them again this year.

Anybody else think its interesting that websidestory.com (and associated sites) run Solaris/Apache?

This sounds like the Giant game that Ender played. _Ender's Game_

$10 is prolly the lawyers (conservative??) estimate of Win's overprice.
I think you answered your own question....
