So you are saying that it was just a BREAK?

You young whippersnappers with your light afternoon site nukings! When I was younger, why, I once accidentally demolished the wrong planet while building a hyperspatial express route!

I'm no expert in your language on that side of the big wet thing, but in Finglish the phrase would be "3 foot square", modulo hyphens. Which just further proves your point about the construction being annoying, I guess :-)

A venal government of a single country hijacked multiple domains with ease? Surely this should not be possible.

I'm currently in court over the Finnish Communications Regulatory Authority's claim that they can charge me for having a digital TV at my recidence unless I allow them to do a warrantless search. They seem to claim that the law allows them to do that, I pointed them to the Finnish constitution, and the lowest level court said "Your privacy would not have been violated if you had allowed the warrantless search". Korkein hallinto-oikeus, here we come.

Yeah, I counted the "USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND" process too, and I bet you know the purpose of at least two of the actual commands in your count too :-)

Here's my translation of the Finnish air force article (http://www.ilmavoimat.fi/index.php?id=1149) the parent mentioned. Only the first bit talks about the engine damage, the rest is about how the air force is going to measure the ash levels and handle its routine operations.

Ash particles pose a real threat to aviation safety in the Finnish air space.

Over Thursday and Friday, the Air Force has examined the F-18 Hornet fighters of the Lapland Wing that flew practice flights over northern Finland on Thursday morning. The air space was still open to the public then.

The planes were examined after they landed, and volcanic ash dust, resembling potato flour, was detected in the engine intakes. An engine of one of the Hornets was further examined with a fiber optic camera. It was concluded from the images, that significant engine damage is caused by even a short flight through ash.

The pictures show that the accumulated ash has melted inside the combustion chamber, where the temperature is around 1000 degrees centigrade (1800 F). The molten ash blocks the cooling ducts, which causes overheating of engine parts, and the materials are weakened. This causes a risk for fractures in the rotating parts of the engine, and in the worst case the parts will break apart and the engine will be completely destroyed.

The exposed Hornets will be thoroughly inspected. It will be necessary to dismantle at least some of the engines, after which they will be sent to Patria engine repairs for further examination. Any engines with noticeable ash exposure will be taken apart to determine the full extent of the damage. The cooling air ducts will also be checked for ash blockages at that time.

I wish you a most pleasant life :-)

No, it's not at all the same. If the number of people that can multitask is only one in 40, I wonder what's the proportion of people who can focus on a _single_ task for long enough to read through an entire Slashdot summary. So far that summary has defeated at least someone who gets paid to read them, and someone who was prompted to do so by my earlier comment.

Timothy already posted this, it's still on the front page. http://tech.slashdot.org/story/10/03/31/2154207/Supertaskers-Can-Safely-Use-Mobile-Phones-While-Driving
