Sadly, it's been discontinued, which is why you'll only find it in Google's cache.

Cool idea though.
On a lighter note, you could now have water cooling linked to a nice decorative fish tank - hell you don't even need real fish :)

I don't know if this has been posted elsewhere, but here is google's cache of that page. I had to frob the url but it works.

I thought UCSB was trying to shed its image as a place where people go to avoid real work:

August 26, 2002 AP article:

Often ranked as a top party school in college surveys, the University of California, Santa Barbara has recently gained respect from one reviewer.

A Newsweek-Kaplan guide to college admissions named UCSB one of the 12 "hottest" colleges. The report, which was on newsstands Monday, praises the university's faculty, which includes three professors who have won Nobel Prizes in recent years, and its reputable graduate physics program.

"UCSB used to be known as a major party school," according to the magazine. "Now it's the party school with an increasingly impressive academic reputation."

The guide also lauds UCSB's unique doctorate religious program and film studies program.

The campus' seaside location earned a mention in the Princeton Review's "The Best 345 Colleges" guide this year. Students who were surveyed voted UCSB one of the top academic destinations for "Quality of Life: Beautiful Campus."

The school also made the list that ranks school that lack racial diversity. It was mentioned in a list of "Monochromatic Institutes" in the Princeton Review.

Actually, setting copyright/patent to 1000 years would run up against the law of perpetuities. There is a common law and statutory rule against arbitrarily setting periods too high.

Can't the courts decide if a law follows the spirit of the constitution, so to speak? Yes, constitutionally Congress has the right to pass things like the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act... but do you think preserving the copyright for a cartoon mouse created by a man who is long since dead is what our founding fathers had in mind? Copyright laws were created both to give the author/artist incentive to create new works *and* to ensure at some point new works could be created based on older stuff.

This is exactly how disney became so popular, by using the work of authors that had gone into the public domain! Snow White, Cinderella, The Little Mermaid are just a few examples of older works that Disney has used.

Now Disney, and other huge corporations like Sony etc. are trying to make sure that no one else can do what they have done. This, to me at least (I am not a Supreme Court Justice) goes against the spirit of the constitution. From the SFGate Story:The original decision made more than 200 years ago to limit the length of copyrights was deliberate and carefully considered. The goal, which was expressed at the time in letters written by Thomas Jefferson and others, was to allow newcomers to build on and improve works produced by others, but only after the original creators of those works were compensated fairly for their efforts. The reason: Human progress builds upon itself."

These companies are trying to stop progress, and trying to stop other from doing to them what they did to the brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Anderson, and Victor Hugo.

we slashdot the site, here's a link to the google cache. :)

Google came up with this as one of its hits for "change order" clause in the search field. It seems like a reasonable starting point.

You shouldn't complain about bad rips if you don't contribute back to the MP3 scene. Napster/Morpheus/Audiogalaxy/Kazaa/WinMX/Blubster/ whatevers_new_this_week is not the MP3 scene.

"In 2Q02, 802.11b hardware shipments grew 15%, totaling 3.9 million units." 3.9 million x 4 quaters/year = 15.6 million/year if volumes are at least flat for the next three quarters. x 365 = 5.7 billion bluetooth devices produced per year? I read in a magazine recently that the total number of computers ever produced is expected to reach one billion in the next few months.

Poking around the internet, all I see are projections that perhaps bluetooth unit volumes will catch up to 802.11 this year. "It is not fair to run comparisons between Bluetooth and WLAN regarding the number of chips being shipped or expected to be shipped for either technology. Because of its price and the type of products where it is going into, Bluetooth will soon surpass 802.11 chip shipments but dollar volume might still be smaller for some time."

"Our annual Bluetooth study predicted Bluetooth chipset shipments would rise from close to zero in 2000 to just over 10 million units in 2001, and the year will end not far from this figure."

Could you please post a reference for your claim that "more bluetooth devices are made each day than 802.11b in a year" or a retraction? Thanks in advance.

Here's the google cache for the Sky Shadow page... oh wait. heh.

The speed of gravitational waves and "the speed of propagation" could be two different speeds, although that's just theory. http://216.239.35.100/search?q=cache:uDPNhqhck6kC: research.spinweb.com/_tp/000001fe.htm+gravity+spee d+of+light+%22gravitational+waves%22&hl=en&ie=UTF- 8

No one has been able to test that gravitational waves travel at the speed of light, it's speed is only inferred through Einstein's general relativity.

I don't know how one would go about broadcasting and receiving something over the speed of propagation, but it's interesting to think about.

Taiwan is a major source of investment capital for China, and only seems likely to increase in importance as one in the future. Taiwan recently eliminated an official requirement that investment in the mainland had to be chunneled through third parties, and removed its cap on mainland investment of $50 million last year.

Considering that the single largest threat to the CCP is probably the economic instability and mass urban unemployment that comes with state-owned enterprise reform, market liberalization and WTO accession, it seems exceedingly unlikely that the CCP will take any steps whose immediate consequence will inevitably be a sharp reduction in foreign capital inflows -- inflows the top leadership (or at least Zhu Rongji) seems to recognize is absolutely vital to maintain rapid growth in the country and prevent the financial sector from choking under the weight of insolvency.

THAT being said, if Taiwan actually makes a move towards independence, as seems increasingly likely, it's anyone's guess what might happen, since much of the political legitimacy of the CCP also seems based on catering to Chinese nationalism. Could they afford not to react?

All this being said, having actually read "Unrestricted Warfare" (in English), I think the threat of China as a digital renegade is completely overblown, if it is politically convenient for those with other reasons to dislike/distrust the country. There is nothing in the report that any other military institution isn't already considering. And lest we forget, the US itself targeted civilian communications infrastructure in Serbia during the Kosovo War. In any event -- its likely that air superiority will continue to be the decisive factor in contemporary military conflict -- and China doesn't have remarkably good aerospace airforce and knows it.

/me shakes his head. Did no one think to ask Google?

The above links touch upon experiments performed upon newborn kittens and monkeys. Both animals exhibit a window in early life in which visual stimulus must be present in order for proper development of the brain to occur. An animal blinded in one eye during the first few weeks of life will not be able to utilize that eye for the entirety of life. Physical examination of the brain of such an animal shows significant differences in the visual cortex associated in the experimental eye as opposed to the control eye.

Digital grain removal is going to be useful. I look forward to when it's a filter in most video edit programs. There's lots of old 16mm historical footage that could use cleanup for grain and transport jitter.

Amusingly, there's a commercial process for film grain insertion, which is supposed to make video "look like film".

google cache You'll see the cost per kg of liquid hydrogen was $2.60 in 1980. I expect it has gone up since then, but not so very much; and it does vary a bit- e.g. if you order enough hydrogen the price goes down.

The Space Shuttle's main tank contains 101 tonnes of liquid hydrogen. Assuming a price of $5/kg, that's $505,000 worth of hydrogen (since there are 1000kg to the tonne). Right?

The cost of adding an extra Space Shuttle to the yearly launch manifest is about $200 million.

Congratulations, you have just learnt something!

Oh yeah the Space Shuttle also burns 606 tonnes of LOX. LOX costs vary, but they are typically a few cents per kg. You can multiply that up if you wish, but the costs are more than 10x less than the hydrogen.

The real question is: Who do you trust more, the chinese government or microsoft?

I think it's interesting that the "Commie stooges" are troubling themselves to develop their own clone of Windows rather than use Linux, which is freely available.

Are they hoping to undermine one of the most successful (ethics notwithstanding) examples of capitalism by violating intellectual property laws? Or are they so impressed by Microsoft's ability to force social conformity en masse through Windows that Beijing now looks to Redmond for inspiration?

Compared with what? This says the median house in Albany sold for $120,000 in January of this year. People living in most of the traditional tech-heavy parts of the country would consider that laughably inexpensive.

This source (Google cache, HTML) calls Albany the second-most affordable city (prices relative to income) in the nation, and says, "Outside New York City, Tri-State rental space deemed suitable for industrial R&D is one-third to one-quarter the cost of similar space in Silicon Valley, Boston, Dallas, or Seattle." And according to this, the overall cost of living in the Bay Area ranges from 75% higher (Berkeley) to 285% higher (Atherton, admittedly an exceptional case).

As for traffic: "Drivers in other urban areas such as Albany or Hartford experience only about one-quarter the delay of a West Coast driver."

I'd actually like to hear what you consider affordable housing or light traffic...

Check out their homepage. The slightly effete but expressive classic Apple Garamond font has been replaced by a plain, rather ugly version of Adobe Myriad Roman. Say it ain't so! But it is.

They started it with the eMac, but I assumed it was some education-only market differentiator. Apparently not. There's a little more at Mired.

Personally, I think it's a terrible change. And a stupid one. They'd built a huge amount of brand identity with Apple Garamond, to the point where anything written in it reminded you of Apple. The new font has no personality at all. Is that what they were going for?

P.S. The Myriad Roman link is a Google cache of a page that 404's now.

9:30PM: I had some fun with smoke bombs. I lit like 5 in my back yard and there was this pretty big smoke could going into my front yard. Sense it looked so cool I searched for some more smoke bombs, and all I could find was like 3. But then I lit them in the feild and that was cool. There was this cloud of blue smoke like 4 and a half feet from the ground. It was soo cool.

Whatever you tool. No one will ever forgive you for the trojan.

For those who don't know:
This guy was one of the developers of Liberty, a commercial Gameboy emulator for PalmOS. Unfortunatly, he spent more time figuring out how to keep people from ripping him off than he did on making the emulator useful. For a long time he hung around #pdawarez on EfNet as |HaCkMe| learning about how PalmOS apps were cracked.

Well of course, Liberty was cracked and ardiri here got pissy and released a new version (this one had sound..oooooo). But, at the same time, he released a "crack" for the application which was actually a PalmOS trojan that would nuke all of the apps on your Palm. He made all sorts of excuses after releasing it, even tried to claim releasing it was an "accident" and saying it would be "professional suicide" to release something like this to the public. Newsflash Ardiri: Professionals don't write trojans.

Anyway, take what this guy says with a very large grain of salt. He's a proven liar and trojan coder. Don't believe me? Aaron, don't even bother trying to deny or refute this. Google's cache of the SANS advisory, the cache because otherwise you have to register to view it.

NO ONE WILL EVER FORGIVE YOU.
