"That sounds great guys, and when we burn it again we can just make more, right?"
"Uh, actually, Obama wanted to burn it, but we can do better than that Mr. President, we can - uh - turn it into special bricks - special underground bricks - that we can build an underground wall to stop the Mexicans building tunnels into the US."
You wouldn't be able to stack them vertically on that axis though, so it wouldn't be a useful measurement to give. You're right however, I should have at least specified that they were standard 340' football fields.
A football field is a unit of area, not distance. However, since we know a mile is eight furlongs, there's five furlongs to a kilometer, and approximately forty-five and a half brontosauruses per kilometer, we can quickly do the maths:
22,000 * 8 / 5 * 45.5 gives us an approximate distance of 1,601,600 apatosauruses. And since we know five brontosauses can be laid along the length of a football field we can correct the sentence from the article.
The 500-linguine rocket delivered the spacecraft larger than 237,000 grapefruits to an orbit higher than 320,320 football fields if they placed vertically end-to-end over the equator.
Like the move to micro-SD, always ended up using full-size SD adapters that just protruded needlessly from the side. I had one device damaged thanks to the SD adapter being knocked, damaging the board, and I know this has happened to many others.
Sorry, that's incorrect, name-based virtual hosts pose no problem to this.
The webserver determines which virtual host is being requested by examining the Host: field in the http header. This happens well after the tcp session has been established, and that happens after the ip address has been determined.
When the browser looks for domain.example, it'll ask whatever resolver it uses to find an ip address to use. Once it has that ip address, it connects to it, and only then tells the webserver which host it wants. There is nothing to prevent the browser from using it's own cached version of the ip address and sucessfully making a connection.
Our state exams at age 15 had an essay option for a book of your own choosing, and I did that with Magician, mostly because I'd already read it a half dozen times by then. The text is very accessible, and there's plenty of themes to work with. As noted, the language is relatively simplistic, so as a literary piece of work it's nothing special, but it deals with many common fantasy themes. The length is probably the main negative point. Also of interest, and possibly more appealing to both sexes would be his Daughter of the Empire series, which runs more or less concurrently with Magician, but is set on the world of the agressors in Magician.
The storm trooper uniforms are stupid, kind of remind me of French Legionnaire uniforms that always made me laugh when I saw someone dressed like that in the desert. The red flags on your shoulders make you stick out like a sore thumb regardless of where you are.
You have, of course, realised that that uniform is for ceremonial purposes, and not the battledress used in actual combat situations?
All they have to do is build giant concrete walls around the turbines, and stick a roof over the top. So long as they don't put any windows in, it should be safe for bats and birds.
It's crazy that they haven't thought of doing this.
Streaming isn't transmitted to the general public whether the material is received or not. Each viewer has to connect to the streaming host and ask for the data. If somebody were broadcasting to 255.255.255.255 to every Irish host on the Internet, then the legislation would start to apply.

This is about passive viewing, i.e. viewing what's listed in the TV guide and pumped out by the broadcaster. On-demand viewing is not covered. So unless you have a TV card, the article is bull.
Of course, if digital television evolved to being an unscheduled and wholly on-demand system, then perhaps this legislation would need a revisit.

They don't make their money from their low fares, they make it from optional extras. By booking through third-party sites, they lose the opportunity to sell the optional extras, and hence lose the opportunity to profit from these customers.
Their business model is to: a) reduce costs in every way possible; b) have the lowest fares, even if it means selling at a loss, where capacity exceeds demand; c) earn their profit from optional extras - priority boarding, airport transfers, etc. d) turn any service which all customers do not use into an optional extra and charge for it.
Ryanair are often criticised because people think they are trying to be something other than what they are - a flying bus.
If you're willing to fly with just your hand-luggage, aren't too choosy about the exact time and date, and don't care where you end up sitting, or with whom, then Ryanair tend to work out the cheapest. Once you start trying to do more than that, that's when Ryanair start making a profit off of you.
The scrapers are damaging their business model by cutting out much of Ryanairs ability to make a profit off of you.
Ryanair would have to either: a) stop the scrapers b) scrap their hugely successful business model which has generated huge cash reserves for them and instead adopt the model the rest of the industry takes, and hope not to be one of the ones which goes out of business every year.
To illustrate how different Ryanair's thinking is, their latest idea that they are considering is to eliminate hold baggage on some flights entirely. They'd lose some customers who want to bring luggage, but save by not needing to pay any baggage handling fees, and have higher turnaround times for their aircraft.
By the way, it wasn't just Ryanair who were told had to include taxes in their ads, it was the entire European airline industry. Often Ryanair have soaked up the taxes and charges as a marketing expense so the fares really were 99p.
Funny, only yesterday I was trying to access an account on a simple test system which a colleague had set up, but he had neglected to tell me the password he set up for me to first log on with.

At level 2 it prevents raw writing to devices, they can still be mounted, but they cannot be unmounted. Of course, you also have to protect your start-up scripts and config files, but it's certainly adds another layer of protection.
No security is ever perfect, the best you can hope for is that it takes just long to get through that the cops turn up in time.
Corrollory: The cops always turn up seven minutes after the crime has been completed.
Yes, but the tricky thing about this situation is that it's a "who will guard the guards" type of deal
With FreeBSD (and other BSDs) there's a mechanism called "securelevels" which limit the operations which can be performed, depending at what level you are at. The levels can only be increased, not decreased, and at higher levels, flags can not be changed, so once you raise your system to that level, then the kernel will not allow the file to be tampered with. Of course, at boot-time, the attribute can be changed, but that's the only window for abuse, and it should be a lot more manageable, especially if you're also replicating logs to remote machines and generating checksums.

Not that it matters but with Luhn checks there's only a thousand to check.
I, for one, welcome our new suborbital rocket-launcher platforms.

11.2 million square feet, wow! That's pretty big!
Almost as big as, I don't know... 1.04 square kilometers. Hmm, still big, but, somehow... lacking.
I guess it's a case of creative reporting.
