As long as you can read your own letter afterwards this may be the best option. You can, at a later time, transcribe to a digital form for easy storage and search.
You may remember better writing than typing and you only need to write the highlights, strong points or references.
Here in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, the local newspaper publishes plain death notes for free. If you want it adorned or specially formated you have to pay.
A major bank (Banco Real of Santander Group) in Brazil had a problem on New Years Day: its ATMs would not accept 2010-01-04 (Monday) as a working day. But accept current day (on 2010-01-01) as valid and then send a message stating the transaction would be schedule for 2010-01-04!
An interesting alternative is "Molten salt reactor" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten_salt_reactor). There are, at least, two videos from google tech talks about them: Liquid Fluoride Reactors: A New Beginning for an Old Idea (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8F0tUDJ35So) and The Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor: What Fusion Wanted To Be (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHs2Ugxo7-8&feature=channel_page).
Even if you can not have ISDN if you can have more than one line, bind them. Linux will handle this fine, assuming both ends run linux. If necessary, you can put a machine in the hospital with multiple modems and call it and bind all PPP links.
It is a really simple language, quite powerful, cross platform (runs in Unix, Windows, Mac OS) and with a very supportive community (<URL:http://wiki.tcl.tk/>).
It has a nice toolkit for graphical interfaces "Tk" (many times copied with interfaces to perl, python, etc.).
All you need is a simple text editor. Since it is an interpreted language, you have a short edit-compile-debug cycle.
At least here in Brazil, by the year's end there is a need for blood donors. With all the parties, there are lots of (traffic) accidents and people hurt, often needing blood transfusion. You can help, visit your city hemocenter and donate.
Analog parts have problems like noise, drift, offset, non linearity, tolerance, age. All of them costly to compensate. If you can represent 4 values (2 bits) in an 1 V range, you can't accept more than 1/8 V noise.
And the components are much larger than digital ones.

You could try the DoD distribution (http://www.spi.dod.mil/lipose.htm) in an internet cafe. If you can boot the machine you should be safe.
Better make it 364 (52 * 7) days.

Not a great idea. You will have to lift the book to change pages.

The robot from "The Day the Earth Stood Still" (1951).
Take a look at http://www.gigapxl.org/. They take a single photo with more then 1 gigapixel. They are now aiming at 4 gigapixels.
I have a very simple spam gauge: I never clean my GMail spam box. So it has a moving average of 30 days of traffic.
Two years ago it had 3000-4000 messages. Today it has over 14.000. So it is still growing.
No really an "off switch" but a nice "switch" for the self-destruct system.
Take a look at The Giga Pixel project. It is not aerial but have a resolution better than 50cm/pixel.
If 5 years are enough for Babylon 5 and the replicators, they are enough for ISS.
A low tech solution:
- bind multiple 26.4 lines.
Even if you can not have ISDN if you can have more than one line, bind them. Linux will handle this fine, assuming both ends run linux. If necessary, you can put a machine in the hospital with multiple modems and call it and bind all PPP links.
The first 6 of the top 10 photos of last year's (2005) National Geographic Annual Photo Contest were shot in film.
I think Hitachi bought IBM winchester line a couple of years ago.
Why not TCL (Tool Command Language)?

You can also use a "short-term" e-mail like the ones provided at SpamGourmet.com.
Even if it is much slower than electron-based computing, it should be immune to ionizing radiation, such as cosmic rays.
Analog parts have problems like noise, drift, offset, non linearity, tolerance, age. All of them costly to compensate. If you can represent 4 values (2 bits) in an 1 V range, you can't accept more than 1/8 V noise.

One should try glimpse by Udi Manber actually in yahoo!
It can index and search for words, substrings, and sentence. It handles multi-line records, do approximate searches, and is pretty smart and fast.
Yes. They are talking about biodiesel. The plan is to put 2% to 5% vegetable oil in diesel. But, as far as I know, it is not happening today.
Edesio
We use them, sugar cane, to produce ethanol.
And yes, it burns cleaner than gasoline.
