Defence electronics designers have licked the EMP problem a long time ago already. There are devices called tranzorbs that absorb transcient pulses. Tranzorbs are also common in consumer electronics to provide protection against EMP from lightning strikes. Also consider your common garden variety spike arrestor power bar.
What bugs me is that with every release, MS Windows gets slower.
In contrast, each time I upgrade Linux, it gets faster.
My laptop boots up to the login screen in 35 seconds. I type the username and password and then it takes 5 seconds to pop up a completely usable desktop - not a nice looking desktop that still doesn't work like all Windows versions tend to do.
So, 40 seconds for a cold boot from the hard disk. What kind of super machine is this? A 1.3GHz Celeron M!
Oh, well, what the hell...
As far as I can figure, the actual issue is that the Administration holds that the Patriot Act overrules the older legislation and that they are not bound by the FISA process. I tend to agree, since that was the whole point of passing the Patriot Act. It basically suspends part of the constitution and places the USA in a partial state of emergency.
Well, fair use would be downloading a whole file (since it is impossible to download a partial file) then using one paragraph of it in a research paper, with attribution to the original author.
The last time I checked with my telescope I could swear that Earth was floating in space, so yes, life started in space alright, unless those guys think that it is turtles all the way down...
No, merely loading something doesn't make the something a derived work. Linux is not a compiler, it is a loader and locator. Linux manages the stuff that it loads. The stuff it loads are not part of Linux. For that to be true it has to be compiled into Linux. Don't confuse the kernel with GCC.
What TFA is yammering about, is that users cannot play their own home movies properly. It seems that a user would need permission from Hollywood to play their own stuff. Oh, well, people can always buy a Mac or use Linux...
Russia also had lots of rovers on the Moon and one lander on Venus, which took the only photos we have of the venusian surface, which is kinda muggy, murky, rocky and acidic.
To the universe we are infinitecimal little microscopic bugs on a tiny little blue dot on the outside of a small insignificant little galaxy. We are absolutely nothing to the universe.
Nice, little Johnny upgrades his Dad's brand new monster Vista machine Direct X driver in order to play Whack a Mole 2.1 and instantly kills the machine, which now requires a hardware repair before it will work again.
Slashdot Mirror
is that there are so many of them.
Microsoft XML standard compliance would be just as useful as their POSIX compliance.

Yup, I'm seeing the return to the situation we had 20 years ago: Mixed systems, consisting of Apple, MS and Linux.

I believe Thunderbird is much superior to Evolution, but I won't call myself anti-evolution, that is a bit too extreme...
This is the best one. Few people realize that Flu viruses mutate in as little as 2 weeks.
Well, this would be a good start:s .htm

If you wish to ask questions, it would help to study the subject first, yourself.
Well, the moon clearly carries the scars of previous advertisement scribing attempts by the ancients...
Well, I guess nobody can report it from their hosed boxes...
Jokes aside, my systems are working, so it probably another issue.
Do you realize just how small a quantum leap is? It is the closest one can get to zero...
A standard US/Canada trailer is 53 feet long.

So, once they have bacteria that can eat celulose, we can spray them on a large forest and turn the whole Amazon river in a stream of petrol.
Well, long ago, Microsoft wrote a Unix system called Xenix. They sold it to SCO, who renamed it Netware.

Hmm, it is a good thing that Suse is not based in Germany anymore.
Russia also had lots of rovers on the Moon and one lander on Venus, which took the only photos we have of the venusian surface, which is kinda muggy, murky, rocky and acidic.
Don't try that in India - then everybody will be holy.
So they can charge you $500 to view the bill online?

That should go over really well.
There, fixed it for ya...
