Apparently you can find them for sale, albeit in limited quantities, here (as well as on eBay, natch).

There's a site all about the thing at www.modelm.org, but I can't get to the server right now, so here's a Google cache instead.

Google cache of the article how to modify an old IBM keyboard to work on a new P4 computer.

I had no such problems though. Maybe it's because I have an Athlon...

The A/C ONLY removes EXCESS humidity... e.g. it will remove ALL the humidity that cannot be carried at the current temperature, but it won't necessarily remove more than that, esp. if there is a source of more moisture (wet food, etc.) inside.

Cassady & Greene truly marketed some of the most innovative programs on the Mac. Conflict Catcher rightly earned all of the awards (and hearts) it did over the years. And Cassady & Greene is arguably the grandmother of Apple's "digital hub" strategy: iTunes was borne of SoundJam Pro, originally marketed by C&G. (The original developers of iTunes now work for Apple.)

It's been great.

Goodnight.

Phew. Okay. here's the google cache in case it gets Slashdotted!

There is a game that comes with an extra "controller". There's an article about it here. (Google cache).

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/businesstech nology/134994939_esiod14.html

I had to find a Google Cache, as the government-owned proxy I work behind blocked access to the original article. I love the smell of irony in the morning!

Something about that struck me. If the natural state of affairs is for a wide genetic diversity even in a small group - such as the chimps, then why wasn't there a similar diversity in the 2000 people who went on to sire the rest of us.

IANAG(eneticist), but I would say that this is most likely due to a concept known as founder's effect in population genetics. There looks like there's an interesting page curtesy of googlecache.

Think of it in these terms. Whatever your genetic diversity happens to be, if you reduce a population from two million down for two thousand, you're going to lose a lot of diversity. Further, especially that population reduction was due to some selection pressure (may immunity to some disease), you're going to target a very select subset of the population (known as hard selection). So what happens is that you end up with much less genetic diversity than you would have otherwise (diversity takes time to build up).

In the case of the chimps, if they've not gone through a recent "extinction" scare, and have had a long, long time for their genome to diverge and mutate, even if you just sample a small group of 60 or so chimps, they're going to exhibit much more diversity simply because they've had so much more time for their genome to wander or drift.

Does that make more sense?

By the way, any other RPI folks hear about the nuclear fallout on Troy in the 1950s? It's an explanation for the people who lived on my street, for sure.

You need to take a good, long, HARD look at the AIDS pandemic, which dwarfs what happened in Iraq by a couple orders of magnitude. Also the facts on fatherless children.

Asshole:

Tucker Max

Tucker Max is a big asshole

The entry is posted by "Katy" and if you click on that name you can see a link to another post of hers under the entry TMD: Tucker Max Drunk, although the post is not there. However, there are some other entries, such as:

How a man with a small penis and knows autofelattio, describes his own drunkenness

"wow dude, I'm such a loser. I got Tucker Max Drunk at my internship and got fired."

and posted by Tucker Hater:

A fictitious word used to build up ones own ego.

I am so full of myself, I will invent the phrase "Tucker Max Drunk" and spread it throughout the internet.

Now, let's go through what you did say in your post, as silly as it may be:

A long post, yet you manage to address none of the agreed upon facts. As far as I can tell, everyone agrees on the following:

Everyone? Really? You've read the opinions of everyone? Cool! Where can I find the writings of everyone who's reviewed Herold's research? Or did you mean "everyone" you happen to agree with?

A puerile dodge -- I note that you do not yourself claim to disagree with any of these statements, so you resort to a semantic point, instead.

* Mr. Herold has no background or formal training in statistics

That's an interesting assertion. May I see some evidence please?

Mr. Herold's resume is currently off-line (whether through server trouble or as a response to the number of people who have recently pointed out how thin it is), but a quick look at google's cached copy confirms that it lists not a single published work of a statistical nature, whether peer-reviewed or otherwise.

More generally, his resume is remarkably short on peer-reviewed works in any field for an academic of his age, which may explain why he has resorted to teaching Women's (Wimmin's?) Studies at a small state school in New Hampshire...

* In preparing his reports, Mr. Herold includes numbers provided by the Iraqi information minister as directly factual,

Which numbers please? How many? Two? Three? A hundred? What percent of 3000 are they?

How many would you consider `acceptable'? Since we both agree that some number of reports from Iraqi Information Minister Mohammed Sayeed Sahhaf were taken as directly true without verification by Mr. Herold, why don't you tell us why we should take seriously any study which considers such sources `reliable'?

something no one else agrees is reasonable to do.

No-one? There it is again! I've just got to see this database of the opinions of tens of thousands of professional statisticians you've found. Please post the URL: I will happily pay a subscription charge to see research that thorough.

While I must admit that the possiblity that anyone would consider it a reasonable research practice to take the pronouncements of Mohammed Sayeed `There are no American tanks within 300 miles of here! What's that noise?' Sahhaf as a reliable source of casualty information had escaped me, I'd be more than willing to hear arguments why you think we should -- or is this another case where you have no actual point to make, so you're looking for some semantic detail on which to hang your hat?

* Even a cursory examination of Mr. Herold's claims turns up several instances of double- and even triple- counting of numbers from other sources.

Hm, so now it's gone from "numerous" to "several". How many is "several" please? Two? Three? A hundred?

Again, how many would you consider `acceptable'? And why has Mr. Herold done nothing to address the cases of double- and triple- counting already pointed out, even in his report on Afghanistan?

wouldn't Marc Herold's numbers agree more closely with the estimates of other journalists in Iraq than in Afghanistan? As it happens, they don't.

Which "other journalists" please? Are you claiming that all journalists disagree with Iraq BodyCount's numbers? You've read every journalist

A quick paragraph, to teaze everyone, *snarf:

"Hey," Wilycat said, "It's our old starship. Why are you bringing us here?"

"Because," Wilykit said testily, landing her board on the large rock to the left of the main airlock. She jumped off and walked over to the door. "Come on."

Wilycat shook his head and said "I don't like this."

"You'll like it," Wilykit replied, turning on her electric torch. "Trust me." She led him through the corridors to the crew cabins, shoving aside one of the unpowered doors.

"Hey," Wilycat said, "Why are we in Liono's room?"

"Because he had the biggest bed, silly."

"I still don't know what you're planning."

"Come here," Wilykit said. "What?" "And take off your clothes."

"WHAT?" Wilycat complained. "Oh come on, Wilycat! We never wore clothes until Jagua made us those armored uniforms. Take them off."

"But that was years ago!" Wilycat exclaimed.

"That's the point," Wilykit said. "I want to see something." "Okay, but only if you take off yours too."

"That's a deal," Wilykit replied, eagerly stripping off her uniform and tossing it too the floor. Wilycat was a little slower in removing his own.

Naked, he looked a little skinny, but then he was only fifteen, and he was on the same exercise regimen all the Thundercats were. They never knew when an enemy might strike out at them.

Wilykit, on the other hand, was actually growing quite nicely, her small breasts budding out only slightly. She smiled at her brother and said "Come here and sit down."

Wilycat walked nervously over to his sister. He sat down on the old and dusty bed, and when he did she grabbed him by the shoulders and threw him down. "Hey!" he shouted again. Wilykit threw her leg over his supine form, straddling him.

"Now I gotcha!" she said. "Mummra?" Wilycat's eyes were wild with fear. She had even convinced him to leave his powerpills over there on the floor!

"No, not Mummra, silly," Wilykit said. "Just me. I wanna try something." "Wha...What?" he stammered.

"I saw Cheetara doing this to Tigra, and I wondered why." She slid down his body slowly, reaching his crotch. His cock was shrivled and retracted into it's prepuce with fear. She nibbled at it gently with her lips, sliding along the length she felt within his Thunderan sheath.

"Wilykit..." Wilycat breathed deeply. "What are you doing?" "Does it hurt?" She asked, looking up along the length of his body.

"Well, no," he admitted. "Then let's keep trying."

Doesn't this sound fun? All the kids say: NO! All the heathens say: YES!

Hardware List (taken from FAQ:

6.8 What sort of hardware do you have in your house?

This is what is currently (04/2001) in Bruce's house (see mh/docs/mh.* 'List of supported hardware interfaces' for more info):

- Mh running on a dual 600 PIII Win 2K box great for quick mh debugging :)

- SB Live Value sound card (supports simultaneous sound sources)

- PCI ByteRunner 8 port serial card

- PCI phone modem for callerid logging and announcements

- Linux box for hosting misterhouse.net

- Radio Shack PA amp with a PA speaker in each room

- Wiring closet with 3 DIO weeder cards and 2 analog cards

- 16 relay card from jameco for PA speaker switch

- Home brew motor/relays for up/down control of 9 Window quilt curtains

- RF sensor in the mailbox across the steet

- WX200 weather station from Radio Shack

- Relays controling garage door and furnace heat and fan

- Digital input sensors on doors and garage door

- A few iButtons for testing

- X10 IR commander and CM17 for sending IR signals

- X10 CM11 with X10 consoles in each room for control

But my setup uses ipfw and not as in the example pf, I am not sure it's possible to setup ALTQ with ipfw (ideas are welcome!!). IPFW does support bandwith throttling in combination with Dummynet.

Here is another white paper I found: Managing traffic with ALTQ.

"Some of the earlier problems with odour from acetic acid in the emissions were also solved. The fuel used is 95% bio-based ethanol from forestry by-products and, for some periods, wine-ethanol."

I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for, but at some point Sweden was importing Spanish wine to fuel some of their buses. I dunno about the acetic acid smell though--yuck.

Here's the story in his words (via google's cache).

In case Google gets /.'ed, here's a mirror.

if with the speed of getting NEW products out for sale, simple user accessibility things are thought about?

For instance, whether or not that cuttingboard can display pages up-side down?? The screen is on the left so many chefs can chop with their right hands with out obscuring the reading. That screen better support something so simple, so that left-handers can use it with the screen on the right. Otherwise, it's like discrimination.

As a left-hander, seeing the screen on the left just doesn't do anything for me. If I was a chef and saw a picture of the cuttingboard upside down so the screen is on the right, then... then it would make sense.

My point here is that the orientation of the object subconciously influences the appeal of such object. I am willing to bet that for each left-hander with the same upbringing and wealth as a right-hander, the right-hander will be a much more compulsive shopper. Even if all objects were designed equally, I hypothesize that if adverts showed mostly right handers using them, left-handers won't feel enough of a connection with many products to buy them. Many lefties draw or use computers because much of everything else is harder to adopt to ( or achieve an appeal for ) since gears and knobs turn the other way around.

So we get some chefs that, if left-handed, probably have to custom order knives to get a descent knife since most models are only right-handed. How ridiculous it would be if that cuttingboard doesn't support left-handers (which it probably doesn't!)

Sad how if it supported left-handers, it would have had it as a (publicized) feature. Sad how things can't just be designed hand-neutral in the first place.

With 30 million left-handers in America, stuff like this is kinda important to consider.

Aye, however I believe (I will admit, I could be wrong!) that equation finds the moment magnitude of a fault that has actually ruptured/already had an earthquake, and you can use this to find the MW of an earthqauke.

I am digging through my notes at the moment but also did some random searching on the web. Haven't found anything definitive at the moment, but here is some linkage:

Regarding the Seattle Fault Zone and calculating surface area to find possible magnitude
Canadian Geological Survey FAQ site Scroll down and read:

Is there a maximum magnitude for an earthquake?
Though theoretically there is no mathematical limit with the magnitude calculation, physically there is a limit. The magnitude is connected to the surface area of the blocks of rock which rub and in doing so give rise to seismic waves. Since the tectonic plates have finite dimensions, the magnitude must therefore also reach a maximum. It is believed that the greatest earthquakes can reach magnitude 9.5, which corresponds to the magnitude of the Chilean earthquake described above.


Most things I am finding via google, deal with calculating the actual Mw of an earthquake based on the surface area of a fault rupture. Perhaps I could be wrong though?
