It had something to do with the fact there is no backup shuttle and space needed if an evacuation was necessary.

Amen brother!

Presuming it was working the way you wanted before, log out, delete all your SlashDot cookies, then log back in. I have to do that every couple of months since the CSS makeover. Last time I was horrified to see Facebook "like" icons! *shudder*

If you are in Vista or 7, find the executable for the java control panel applet and right click to "Run As Administrator". Then what you change will stick.

On fast neutrons? Apparently slow neutrons are some sort of secret. Shhhh.

Kudos to using the correct term supercritical instead of critical like they do in the movies.

Oh man, that takes me back.

Hah! I had a client tell me about a problem with the font size on their website (it's already dynamic, set at 1em). His proof was that the person that complained worked for Adobe. Yeah, you know that Reader thing that bugs you all the time? That's Adobe.

Hah! Me too. "I saw you were home, why didn't you pick up?" I feel pretty lucky I started this 13 years ago. All of my friends have job issues of one kind or another.

Kudos sir for a fine posting!

Jeez, I have been using MythTV since 2004 first on MythDora, then MythBuntu and after taking a week to set MythDora up in 2004, the 2 MythBuntu installs were way easy. I just downgraded my office machine (Lucid) to .21 so I don't have to upgrade the living room one yet. Maybe the dual tuner Hauppage card I researched first was the key, I don't know. Plus, in the MythBuntu forums I have always found everyone extremely helpful if I had a question.

It's sad that there are less people like us on this thread than the last one. That was the first thing I thought of. Loved those books.

Northern Data in Maine runs it for all the towns in Maine that use them. My town ditched them last year finally.
Yeah, I couldn't believe it either.

I fix PC's for a living and I have been seeing this too. Some people all the do is Facebook and they are getting "XP Antivirus" or it's variants, and I know there is no way they are doing anything. They all use Firefox, etc. The last 2 weeks I have been putting on Ad Block Plus and explaining to them what it does because I was having people get infected again in a manner of weeks after I clean it up the first time. I know that kinda sucks for website revenue, but what else is there to do. One guy got infected from Photobucket, and it was repeatable.

It froze Firefox at 74% on the latency test, twice. Firefox 3, Ubuntu 8.04.
