You know that it's also entirely possible that KSplice's site has been hacked by using the exact exploit code that we're all being told about and that this small piece of C code is in fact, as some of it definitely looks like, the exploit. With perhaps a few extra bits and pieces thrown in the divert attention. The thing that really worries me most is that in there is a very obvious statement that we're going to run this exploit and show you what's happening! Holy crappoly batman.

It sounds like crap...It looks like crap...It certainly smells like crap...OMG it is crap!

Haha. I was looking at the video and one of those ads popped up at the bottom of the video feed advertising "Top Anti-aging creams". Now I wonder? :P

Why not make up a huge long extra strong heat resistant open ended plastic bag to bring this oil up to the surface. Something like a huge long chimney. The oil eating bateria could be added at the bottom to ride the oil up and start working on it early. Then once you get all that oil up to the top suck it up into oil tankers and take it away to reprocess. I'm sure that they 'BP' can get some good oil out of it to help offset the cost of this cleanup.

Just a thought...Perhaps a very uneducated one...But I'm just thinking out loud here...We already use chimneys to move the out gasing further up above us. So why not use the same principle to move the oil closer to us for collection instead of leaving it sitting underwater with the potential disaster it could cause.

Hope they stick some fresh coffee into the kit. When they've brewed all the coffee then they can use with the soil to add Nitrogen :)

A friend of mine, Sam Joesph, was working on a project called Neurogrid http://www.neurogrid.net/php/index.php to develop a platform for distributed information sharing. I think he was looking into connecting some of this information using multiple dimensions like time and not just location (space).

to become 1.99 beta, grow to 2.0RC1 and then rebirth as 2.0 Golden Phoenix :P

I use Gnome-do with Google Calculator http://do.davebsd.com/wiki/index.php?title=GoogleCalculator_Plugin to do the simple calculations. Works for me.

Youc ould try iDeneb [http://ideneb.net] and there's instructions here [http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1048117/how_to_install_macosx_on_eeepc_pg2.html?cat=59] and here [http://www.scribd.com/doc/6428329/Leopard-on-EeePC]

We should go to both ;)

I'm all for Arthur C. Clarke's original novel version of 2001 where we went to Saturn's moon Titan and then in the novel 2010 a joint American/Soviet effort went to Jupiter's moon Europa. And I think it would be fitting to call the craft "Alexei Leonov".

I'm sure this would benefit from a webcam and a page with controls :)
