One could later enhance the design with a reusable, winged crew vehicle, and possibly cargo container (although the latter might be worth keeping in space for raw materials.)

I emailed Lt. Lozito, here's what he said...
I have received several comments about my "Quote" in the article. Suffice it to say, that the media does not always capture everything said in a phone interview and then translate it to paper as it was intended.
What I was referring to was the use of the devices to locate an open port or signal and then once found, accessing the system to conduct unlawful activity.
The possession of the device itself is not illegal however I believe that in time, the law may look at such devices much as it does for burglary tools for someone that has been convicted of burglary or related crimes.
If my comment caused some confusion, I apologize.

What we need to do is smash this and Sedna into Pluto, making the combination -- which we call Pluto -- larger than any expected Kuiper belt object. That'll solve the problem once and for all, I think.
Why? Because in 5 years time, when all this stuff is priced at a more reasonable level and the quality/quanity of content could justify upgrading...there WILL be a new/better/cheaper format on the horizon (and VERY close to the horizon as well given this tech were talking about now is nearly 2 (lab) years old).
I doubt it. NTSC and PAL have been the standard for my lifetime, and I'm old for a slashdotter. At 1920x1080, depending on screen size and viewing distance, you're getting moderately close to the limits of the average person's vision, so HD will probably reign for a long time.
Granted, you're (mostly) talking about HDDVD/BluRay formats, not video formats, but these disc formats fulfill the requirement of holding a two hour movie at high-res with reasonable compression. Any future disc format isn't going to change the TV, nor your satellite or cable connection, it would just allow (say) a season's worth of a show to be on one disc.
The idea is that the torrent would be hosted by the Mozilla foundation. As I understand it, as long as your torrent host is starting with a good file, getting other pieces from random other sites is reasonably safe, due to checksums et al. I'm no security expert, however.
Because you can be sure she'll specify exactly what brand, model and version she wants.
Nope.
She'll specify just enough info that you can't grab a random brand, but not enough info to know which of half a dozen minor variations, so you stand there staring at these things like a dork...
Simply too much prior art, at least in the software field, gets by them. Had they been behaving this way in the early 1900s, Ford Motor Company would have gotten a patent for "A Method Of Forming Molten Metal", or some equally silly thing.
Google "Selden patent." Something even more ridiculous was patented.
unites states is now dominated in feminist politics
George W. Bush is a feminist?
The U.S. news is dominated by the craving for money, and thus if it bleeds, it leads. Shark attacks and blond girls lost in Aruba raise the ratings. The BBC, for example, isn't so ratings oriented, and thus can do more actual news.
I tried making the C: directory and the specific program file directory modifiable, but it still crashes on startup.
I also snagged a utility that allows setting file creation dates, because I wanted to fix the dates for some scanned photos. The particular free utility ties into the properties dialog shown with a right-click on the file in explorer. It gives me multiple registry complaints when I try to look at properties when not an administrator.
Lots of good things for Apple, and some minor fears for those of us suffering the transition. (I have in-house Cocoa apps that will now need to be QA'd on two platforms, even if development is "click a button.")
I feel your pain. We finally got to drop OS 9 support a few months ago, and now Apple has given us a new platform to test. Though we may have it worse; we also get to switch from Codewarrior to XCode.
Setuid is a hack to get around unix's primitive permissions model.
Unfortunately, it's a hack that works -- and Windows doesn't have one. I try running on a non-admin account at home on Windows, and its a PITA at times with no workaround. Everyone else I know has given up and runs as admin all the time, as do I at work. On my work Mac I happily login as a non-administrator type, with password entry only for software upgrades.
Windows may have a nice security model in theory, but actual practice shows that Linux and Mac OS X work better for users. It's rather like having biometric scanners and changing passwords for your front door entry, which are so much of a pain that people just put a doorstop to keep the door open all the time.
Oh, bullshit. The vast majority of problems in running as a non-Admin in Windows are the responsibility of *application developers*, not Microsoft.
How do I do the equivalent of setuid in Windows XP home? I can't. Therefore, if I want to run any of these programs that require admin access, I have to be logged in as admin, or enter userid/password. Not much fun when it's a game my kids want to play when I'm not around.
That part Microsoft could have fixed. Not to mention the possibility of spoofing, where requests to read and write the C:/ directory could be redirected to an app data directory.
Granted, much of Microsoft's poor decisions were in the past, and they're having to make up for them now. But at the time they were making those poor decisions, Unix and Unix-like OSes had already solved the basic issues, MS just ignored them.
I believe this because I research, and find stats that support my position. You find a possible reason and take it as definitive, without taking the time to find out it can't be.
Utah? A grand 1% of the U.S. population. Mormons? 1.9%. Not enough to make a dent in U.S. statistics. Moreover, my cousin just married a Mormon, in her thirties, no kids and no plans to have one -- they're not a coven of rapid breeders.
Nearly four in 10 young women become pregnant at least once before they reach the age of 20--nearly one million a year. Eight in ten of these pregnancies are unintended and 79 percent are to unmarried teens."
79% is very low?
Oh, but what about Utah? Read http://health.utah.gov/rhp/pdf/1997report.pdf "Twenty years ago, in Utah, most teen births were to married couples. Today, over half of births to women ages 15-19 occur outside of marriage, a figure reflecting national trends."
And hell, how many of those 18-19 year old married people got married because they got pregnant? I don't consider that "evil," I do consider it a recipe for divorce. Moreover, again from the Utah gov't report:
"Fathers in cases of teen pregnancy are generally not themselves teens. Infants' fathers were 20 years of age or older for 42% of births to mothers ages 15-17 and 72% of fathers were 20 years of age or older for births to mothers ages 18-19 between 1995 and 1997."
So we've got older men taking advantage of teenage women. That is getting closer to evil...
I'll back it up. http://www.coolnurse.com/teen_pregnancy_rates.htm "The United States has the highest teen pregnancy rate in the western world, despite the fact that our teens are not more sexually active than Swedish teens, or Canadian teens, or British teens. Why? Because we don't educate about birth control in sex education classes, we don't discuss it at home, we don't give teens good access to it, and we don't advertise it in our media. Other countries do, and they are rewarded with low rates of teen pregnancy and teen abortions."
Or http://www.agi-usa.org/pubs/fb_teen_sex.html "Teen pregnancy rates are much higher in the United States than in many other developed countries--twice as high as in England and Wales or Canada, and nine times as high as in the Netherlands or Japan."
Amsterdam is in the Netherlands.
Google "teen pregnancy rates" and you'll be inundated with evidence that the original poster is correct.
One of the things we do at the company I work for is tell people the G4 is better than the G5.
You must never do floating point. The G5 crushes the G4 on 64 bit floating point operations. I work on a cross-platform app, and spent quite a while trying to improve Mac performance; the only real solution was to encourage Mac customers using our FP-heavy features to get a G5. Fortunately most wanted one anyway.

Capital B may mean bytes, but that would imply he's getting 40 megabits per second downloading speed, and I seriously doubt that.
Bytes or bits? I just tested my Comcast connection and it claims ~380 kilobits/second upload, ~3.5 megabits/second download.
You're confusing two different issues.
A 1.5" piece of insulating tile chipped off the shuttle itself from a small piece of insulation.
A larger piece of insulation broke off -- one large enough to do the same damage as doomed Columbia -- but it did not hit the orbiter.
It is the latter that is causing this grounding. See this article, among others.
You can geta CD of white noise and put a CD player on continuous play as a relatively cheap substitute.
The idea is that the torrent would be hosted by the Mozilla foundation. As I understand it, as long as your torrent host is starting with a good file, getting other pieces from random other sites is reasonably safe, due to checksums et al. I'm no security expert, however.
Sounds like they need built-in torrent support then, and have autoupdate make use of it.
Because you can be sure she'll specify exactly what brand, model and version she wants.
Nope.

Now, with this in mind, tell me why ethanol is needed?
Because the subsidy goes to red (Republican) states, of course.

"The United States has the highest rates of teen pregnancy and births in the western industrialized world. Teen pregnancy costs the United States at least $7 billion annually.

Here's an article about NASA's evaluation:
http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20030707-106
Take a look at the first WTC bombing. I don't recall anything in particular the US was doing, other than being a world economic leader.
Supporting Israel. Ramzi Yousef, the key planner of the bombings, said that the U.S.'s support for Israel was his motivation.
I say glaze the whole fucking middle east over with some tactical nukes.
Ramzi Yousef would have done the same to the U.S. if he could have. You sound pretty similar to him.
