Puppy Linux runs nicely on small USB memory sticks of 128MB and up. A 1GB memory stick make a beautiful system. You really don't need umpteen gazillion gigabytes of storage space for a PC.
Safeway plastic cutting board

I use a 1/4 inch thick plastic cutting board that I got at Safeway. Really low tech, works OK and keeps the air flowing.
Either this is the usual clueless researcher or a firewall vendor. Apparantly the real news is that half a million database servers are running some sort of Unix and are connected to the internet...
"patronized by people who know little about calculus or physics." Maybe in America, but Canada also has Wal-Mart stores, so not all their customers are dumb, eh...
I'd love to see that antenna shatter during vibration tests. Any kid with a pellet gun can break that thing, so it sure won't be very useful to anybody nevermind the military.
My guess is that the submarine sensed the flotilla sailing on a collision course and surfaced to identify and save itself. That still doesn't excuse the US Sonar Operators for not sensing it.
Never sign anything without asking a lawyer. These things are far more complicated that you would think. (I was married to a lawyer and I studied military law so I know enough, to know that I know nothing).
So now you need a Linux PC to format all HDDs before plugging them into Windoze machines. As machines become more complex, the consequences of incompetence become larger as well. Long ago, pre-formatted Floppy disks contained pre-installed viruses, so this is nothing new, the media is just larger.
Other states have city police, which amounts to the same thing as the OPP, just more fragmented.
Anyway, the social contract is between the people in a body politic. In a republic, the people make the law and if a law causes all people to break the law, then the law itself is broken.
Hmm, they use a prepolarization field of 30 mT for 1 second before using the weaker measurement field of 46 uT. So I'm wondering why they don't just use the 30 mT field and be done with it.

Is SETI Worth It?

Look at all the money wasted on religion. The pursuit of non-existent super beings makes SETI pale into insignificance. Why has no-one brought a class action lawsuit against churches for defrauding their members?
Most keyboards are washable in an automatic dishwasher. The way to find out, is to try it. It appears that you have a better than 50% chance that it will work again. Electronics are actually washed in orange juice to remove flux residue during the manufacturing process, so most electronics can be washed successfully.

Actually yes. I have three 1GHz Via machines. Two runs Linux (NFS servers stuffed full of disk drives), one runs ExPee.
Well, yeah and their space program is nothing to sneeze at either. It is a good thing that China is traditionally an Allied country and not our enemy.

Hmm, the 1870s more likely.

So I guess Thailand must be a new province of China.

The ground doesn't zip when it is a few thousand feet below, even at mach 2. You need to be close for that effect.
The ones that pass through causes no damage.
It is the ones that gets absorbed in your body that cause damage...

Bah! This article isn't even worthy of Digg. Is Roland on their payroll maybe?
Or ICMP packets? That will be *really* useful.
If the penalty is not hundreds of millions of Euros, then it would be cheaper to ignore the law and just log everything to /dev/null.
