When an out of focus image is presented to the retina it stimulates growth of that part of the eye resulting in a change in eyeball shape. This is the normal mechanism by which the lens-retina system forms and maintains a system that can focus in an organism over its lifetime[...]
This, incidentally, is one of the reasons for myopia in our modern society. The eye is adjusting to long periods of close up work to which it is not well adapted. This causes the eye to grow into a maladapted shape.
That's interesting, intriguing, and could quite possibly even be correct. Do you have any links to further evidence?
And does this theory have anything to say about the causes of astigmatism?
Basically for every time zone. You see, as the Earth rotates on its axis, it is also orbiting the sun. Some part of the Earth has to be plowing headlong into the trail of dust. And that has to happen at either the "dawn" line or the "sunset" line (think about it.)
If the Earth spun the other way 'round, meteor showers would always be best just after sunset. But, sadly, I was not consulted during the design phase...
Now that's the general principle. In this case,
astronomers are predicting two particularly dense
sections of the dust trail, one intersecting Earth's orbit at dawn Europe, and another around dawn East Coast Americas. But even people not in these locations should see the best local view at about an hour before sunrise.
The way I see it, the only thing this avoids is kernel failure.
I don't think this proposal avoids even that. If Server 1 and Server 2 are connected to Disk 1, and Server 1 goes belly-up, there is bound to be information in RAM cache that Server 1 didn't get to write back to Disk 1 before it went down, even it it syncs every millisecond, which would be horrible performance-wise.
So when S2 detects the crash of S1, D1 is unclean
and an FSCK is required before D1 can be cleanly remounted. That's going to take a while.
So, the common case is software crashes, and the
uncommon case is disk failure. This solution
doesn't seem to save you much, if anything, in the common case, and saves you nothing at all in the catastrophic case. I think you'd be better off
with one server which can be quickly rebooted, easily debugged.
Seriously, I agree with your main point. When I'm
asked how many computers I own, I have no clue what
to answer. Each of my microwave ovens probably has
one, my toaster has one, all of my desktops and servers have one, but more likely several, and who can guess how many processors General Motors might
have put into my car? Not to forget the ones in my
VCRs, pocket, watches, modems, calculators, thermostats...
And should two broken computers, out of which one
working computer might be constructed, count as zero, one, or two?

Mind you, I haven't looked at whether any given
unionfs implementation would support this configuration,
but loopback-type support typically isn't hard.
As as aside... wherever I type "space slash",
slashdot eats the space, making the above

I wasn't disagreeing with you, but trying to
correct and elaborate. Yes, saving spam won't
help, and ex post facto is why, because it's
not currently illegal in most places.
Where I wrote "prohibition," read "prohibition
against ex post facto laws," and maybe
you'll see what I was trying to say.
It's ex post facto, and it applies to both the Congress and to the States. See here.
The prohibition doesn't apply in this case because this anti-fax-spam law has been on the books since 1991, so all of fax.com's supposed violations clearly would have
taken place while the law was already in force.
I'm not sure how much this applies; prohibiting
police from doing random ID checks is not the same
as requiring ID at established security checkpoints. Who wants
their every move to be in a database? Thank goodness
there are not yet checkpoints at every state border crossing.
Funny the way this thread has unfolded.
I designed my wife's ring to have a black opal,
a ruby, and an emerald, with the black opal in the
center to sort of 'connect' the colors. Symbolism
all over the place. Her birthstone and mine,
and the emerald 'cause it's always been my favorite,
so it can represent her being "my favorite."
She dug it plenty, and still digs it plenty. (How
can one consult with one's intended on the ring design if the proposal
is supposed to be a surprise?)
But that black opal was by far the largest part of
the ring's cost.
Don't count on a check. The article says "refunds or credits".
What company ever writes a check when it can simply
print the money in the form of a coupon?
That way, they get you coming and going. You paid
for the OS you didn't want or need, and you don't
intend to buy anything from them in the future
anyway, so the coupon will remain unused... Microsoft smiles.
The lawyers smile, too, since they got paid. Consumers? Hey, you won, right? Be happy about it.
The image does not appear to have anything in it to convey a sense of scale, so you could be right and they might be Imac-sized. Still, the article said "desk-sized", so that's what I'll trust.
Small? Compared to the size of a planet, maybe. These are stabilizing gyros, not navigational. Didn't read the article?
The loss of function of the desk-sized 363 kilogramme (800 pound) gyro emerged after astronauts reported a loud, growling noise inside the International Space Station.
On the other hand, that loud growling was probably the astronaut's libidos at the prospect of escorting supermodels.
Maybe; but it won't work with any version of find
I've ever encountered, since {} is only expanded
when it stands alone, with whitespace on both sides.
And the -r seems out of place, too, since you've already selected
objects of type file with your -type f directive. How are you going to recurse a file?
I requested the data CDs on February 6th, and got an

Some fine way to run a contest!
So I'll second the question... did they follow up with anybody?
Wonder when will Microsoft begin to claim the nine states are "intellectual property destroyers" or are conspiring with Richard Stallman against Microsoft...

Seriously, those OEM agreements where "if you sell a box,

I'll be very glad if this sort of provision is never seen again (from MS, or anyone else.)
Extrapolating here... I believe that in the middle of the ocean,
a tsunami would look like a noticable wave (say one foot high).
So, that is, noticable only in an otherwise calm sea,
and appearing to come out of nowhere.
Submerged, I doubt it would even be noticable.
Tsunamis don't take on their great height until they
"climb" onto the continental shelf. So disregard
what I just said, if you're not far enough
out to sea when one runs across you. What would happen then?
Let's see. If you're submerged, you'd probably feel a noticable current. If surfaced, you'd be bounced around quite a lot. But so long as you have your doors closed,
this being a submarine, you're probably as easy to sink as a cork.

It's a good idea not to annoy the SO.
You don't have to use ASCII, just start with
a number mapping that conveys the information
