Yeah when the X Prize folks awarded the prize for first private vehcile into space
they also used the Kaman line (100 km) which is why SpaceShipOne's talk number was 328KF
(328 kilofeet which is almost 100 km! )
That's when Branson got involved so it's weird he's backed it down to 80 km
The New York Times Launches Tor Onion Service To Overcome Censorship, Ensure Privacy (betanews.com) 69
Mark Wilson quotes a report from BetaNews: The New York Times has announced that it is launching a Tor Onion Service version of its website. The new, more secure way to access the site will open it up to people around the world whose internet connections are blocked or monitored. It also caters to a growing breed of people who are concerned about what their web browsing habit might reveal and who have turned to Tor to protect their privacy. The new service is described as "experimental and under development," and some features of the website -- such as the ability to comment -- do not work. The NYT warns that fine-tuning of performance and features may mean there are periods of downtime, but the long-term aim is to completely replicate the main website as an Onion Service.

I'm learning Ruby and then Rails for web apps and teaching.
Starting from Perl/Python Ruby is a pretty short step.

She is soooooo cute. Plus I recommend the drobo as well with its
cool "Beyond Raid" system that let's you just pull out the smallest
disk in your array and plug in a new one. Anyone who's ever rebuild
or updated a traditional RAID array knows what an improvement that is.
Good Luck
Best Solutions For Massive Home Hard Drive Storage? 609
i_ate_god writes "I download a lot of 720/1080p videos, and I also produce a lot of raw uncompressed video. I have run out of slots to put in hard drives across two computers. I need (read: want) access to my files at all times (over a network is fine), especially since I maintain a library of what I've got on the TV computer. I don't want to have swappable USB drives, I want all hard drives available all the time on my network. I'm assuming that, since it's on a network, I won't need 16,000 RPM drives and thus I'm hoping a solution exists that can be moderately quiet and/or hidden away somewhere and still keep somewhat cool. So Slashdot, what have you done?"
