Actually if you know how to do it, pallets are easy to pull apart and de-nail.

And you get usable lumber and nails to make stuff out of.

Burning them is a waste.

Ah... so the Cold Fusion source code was stored on a box running Cold Fusion?

Yes, I mean they stole the source code to Cold Fusion?!? That's kind of like breaking into Ford automotive and stealing the blueprints for the Pinto...

http://www.cherrypy.org/ http://docs.cherrypy.org/ now all do not come up at all.

Of Course the Senator knows all about the computers at the contractors to the NSA and what they can do,
while the guy who used to be a sysadmin there knows nothing about it.

Uh huh.

Because we all know that Senators know everything about technology.

Of course not. What you want is a half-brick. In a sock.

or don't you read Pratchett?

There's Dvorak (for two-handed typing) and Fitaly for stylus/one-finger operation.

Both are designed for minimum finger travel (in English, anyhow). I doubt seriously that this "new" layout improves upon them in any signifigant fashion, and (from the Wikipidia Dvorak article):

In 1956, a General Services Administration study by Earle Strong, which included an experiment involving ten experienced government typists, concluded that Dvorak training would never be able to amortize its costs.

So if you wanted to switch in any major fashion, you always have to get poeple ewho already type on some other layout to switch, and it's not generally cost effective.

'nuff said.

Only if you don't clean the screen before you put it on...

Fix an O.S. bug yourself?

3M has a fix for that...
...and it protects your real screen from scratches, etc.

Ideas like deriving code from specifications, developing proof outlines and code in tandem, and just generally more rigorously thinking about code and why it works.

You should definitely look at Scratch, which is designed for kids, even (especially?) kids who don't type very well yet, yet it teaches them programming skills. This is the same crowd who initially did Logo all those years ago, and they think this is better...

That's why you need molten salt solar -- when the sun is out, you fill a tank with 1050F molten saltpeter, and when you need power, you use the "hot" saltpetr to boil water and run a turbine, and you dump the "cool" (550F) salt in to a tank to reheat when the sun is out. The salt stays hot for up to a week.

Of course, you can use direct Photovoltaic to handle things like peak air conditioning load, where the energy need corresponds with the sunlight.

They're already doing this at Archimede in Sicily...

First: learn about networking generally. In your case I'd recommend the Doug Comer/Dave Stevens Xinu networking books, volumes I and II, but a lot of folks also like the books by W Richard Stevens TCP/IP Illustrated set. The Xinu books, particularly volume II, have the entire source code of a straightforward impelementation, which is really good if you're a person who reads code well.

Then pick 2 network vendors you like and learn how to configure their gear. Probably start with whatever gear you have now; it may be perfectly serviceable if setup properly, or at least usable as a corner of a better network design.
