Anything of any shape can generate lift in a non-vacuum, assuming it has enough velocity.

112 years enough?

Even survived 6 hours of down time...

I would imagine that you'd need some sort of specialized antenna to reach 20km, no matter what signals are being sent or what is encoded in them.

Still no mention of actual frequencies/protocols/etc

On the other hand, you could use it to nuke your own phone if the police had seized it and were using it to find evidence against you...

Depends on the school. The college I work for has been known to grant release time so instructors can create content for a new course, or overhaul an old one. Basically, instead of teaching 4 or 5 classes a term, they teach one less but receive the same pay. I think in that case, the content would be owned by the college/school.

And now that Steam is available that will keep growing. It started with 100 titles, up to 126 already.

Personal tax software? I've done turbo tax online from my linux desktop for 4 years now, no issues.

The IT side and process control side should each pick someone to go and learn how the other side works for a while. A quick tutorial on basic networking concepts, a second on network security and infrastructure set up, and then actually being the PFY or Intern for a few days. The IT designate would go to process control and do similar.

Basically, each side has to have someone who at least has an idea as to what goes on on the other side.

Sane shotgun (why do this? because I can!) but new ammo to put in it.

Just wait until Morgan Freeman gets going....

Check your local library - mine has an "e-branch" which includes unlimited access to a Safari subscription, just gotta plug my card number in for access...

I bought a few new, but then discovered the local used places :)

I'm in the same spot as the questioner... the Comp Sci program at my local state U is part of the college of engineering, so in order to get in, you have to have the same first 2 years/pre-reqs as a chemical, civil, mechanical, etc. engineer student - so Physics w/ Calc, Calc w/ Diff Eq, etc.

Once you are in the program, it is a couple of programming classes, networking, database design and sql, etc. Heck, one of the 4th year electives is Linux Administration, which I teach here at "the other college in town" (a community college) even though I "only" have an AS degree and a couple of decades of experience in the IT field (programming and Linux stuff).

True, and that is what I used to do when I used slackware.

But Mint is based on Debian and Ubuntu. Mint has apt in it.

*Why* should a distro with such a great package manager force you to reinstall for every upgrade?

Based on what bittorrent is telling me, the cinnamon disks are 915 or 928mb depending on arch, the mate desktop ones are both "1.0gb" - so they may or may not fit on a 1gb flash drive (depending on if a geek or a marketing designer labeled said drive)
