Re:TREAD act - many TREAD links for the fed shills
The real manipulation was the feds on the AIAG.. but TREAD RFID is also quite shockingly real. Why dont you please look at these following links and read all my extracted highlights here in this post:
Goodyear, Michelin and other tire manufacturers are claiming TREAD is the reason they are forced to put in spy RFID transmitter chips in all tires... not whims. A bylaw document addendum for TREAD is merely one strongarm tactic by feds that aided it to be fully adopted. AIAG manipulation was another.
Goodyear RFID tires from TREAD :
SNIPPET QUOTE EXCERPT:
"Tires have to have a unique identification number called a DOT number," he said. "Cars have a vehicle identification number. Under the TREAD Act, carmakers have to associate the unique number on each tire with the VIN of the car it's put on. RFID offers a cheaper way to do that association

Michelin RFID tires from TREAD :
SNIPPET QUOTE EXCERPT:
"The tire industry faces regulatory pressures from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration requiring tire companies to monitor pressure and temperature in tires as part of the Tread Act, a much-publicized law passed in 2000 in response to the rollovers of Ford Motor Co.'s Explorers equipped with certain Firestone tires. The Tread Act states that the vehicle identification numbers must correlate with the Department of Transportation's number for the tire."

Industry and TREAD RFID ..
SNIPPET QUOTE EXCERPT:
"There are no industry-based automotive mandates out there today. Perhaps the only exception to this is the Tire TREAD Act in which RFID is specified as a method of identifying tires supplied to OEMs. The U.S. Congress passed the TREAD (Transportation, Recall, Enhancement, Accountability and Documentation) Act after the Firestone/Ford Explorer issues emerged. The act mandates that carmakers closely track tires from the 2004 model year on, so they can be recalled if there is a problem. "

Industry abd RFID TREAD :

"For example, Michelin and Goodyear plan to use RFID to aid their compliance with the Transportation, Recall Enhancement, Accountability and Documentation (TREAD) Act."
web source : http://www.fawcette.com/wss/2003_10/magazine/colum ns/trends/
Notice a theme ? Instead of blaming AIAG these tire companies blame TREAD federal law compliance for the RFID tracking chips in all passenger tires. Read those links, you government shill.
And next, you will start claiming the products dont work well on highways.
Here is a meticulous research PDF paper entitled "Test Report : Single-lane Vehicle identification with UHF RFID"
http://www.ipico.co.za/technology/Whitepapers/Sing le-lane%20EVI%20Test%20Report%2020030618.pdf
And that shows a LOW POWER 4 watt reader at a height of 5.7 meters (18.7 feet) above a passive RFID coil product can read at speeds of 160 km/h for common tollway type RFID. The feds buy >4watt readers and also use better gear.
I love the naysayers. -

You are probably an FBI shill for wanting to FACTUAL INFORMATIVE mod the post to -1 like it was 4 out of five times before... all using the feds shill accounts.

Re: Microsoft is in for the long haul
Just for fun: ZipZoomFly currently lists a Athlon XP 3200+ at $259 (OEM).
This is really dangerous territory here, because retail prices are not the same as manufacturing costs. In manufacturing costs, you make a deal with the parts provider. He's usually hoping to sell you a few tens of thousand to a few hundred thousand units. If you tell him that you need to purchase millions of units, he's going to cut you the best deal he can so that you don't get the part from someone else.
Now from a recent article, we know that Intel's actual costs are ~$40 a chip. This gives us a more reasonable starting point. We can probably tack on another $10 since IBM isn't Intel. That gives us a guessitmation base cost of $50 for IBM. Now if IBM wants to convince Microsoft of using their chips instead of Intel's, they're going to want to provide as good of a price as possible. Let's say that they go for $90 a chip. (That's actually high given our previous assumptions, but it gives us more wiggle room for error. Especially since the XBOX uses a tri-core.)
Now let's say that ATI has similar costs and offers a similar chip. We're at about $180 for the both of them. Or $5 north of my original guesstimate.
Let's say, for fun, that a three-core 3.2ghz power PC costs the same as a one-core 3.2ghz (equivalent) Athlon XP. Which of course it doesn't.
It doesn't, but it's also a bad assumption that it costs significantly more. One of the reasons for multicore designs is that they can simply etch more silicon to produce a more powerful chip than having to package more CPUs and PINs. i.e. Silicon wires don't cost anything. Pins do. Sure, their yeild won't be as high due to the larger silicon wafers, but don't count on the chips being that much bigger. According to this info on the PS3 cell (which actually has more cores than the XBOX) is 221mm^2 in size. According to this page, the Pentium IV is 146mm^2. That increase is pretty impressive when you realize that the Cell chip has 8 sub-processors in addition to the main processor. The Pentium D, btw, has a die size of 206mm^2, and it only has *two* cores.
So in the end, the chips probably don't cost as much as you think they do. -
This is nothing
If you wanna see some old white people get their panties in a twist, you should have seen what happened at my school a year and a half back. Years ago, this kid was going a project with the principal to make a computer map of the school, and after the kid spent all his time looking around, drawing blueprints, whatever kids did back in those days, the project was scrapped. So using the maps he had, he released a mod for Duke Nukem 3D that was set in the school. Couple years later, the blubbering vagina squad that is the media found this and went completely fucking nuts. Site is down but here's google's cache http://72.14.207.104/search?q=cache:1Ht9jH_-UAEJ:

Re:Before you answerI don't know if this really did happen to you, but if it did you have grounds to sue the police or make an official complaint. According to the Citizen's Advice Bureau (google cache) on police entry powers:
If the police do arrest you, they can also enter and search any premises where you were during or immediately before the arrest. They can search only for evidence relating to the offence for which you have been arrested, and they must have reasonable grounds for believing there is evidence there.Which seems to mean only if you were arrested while leaving your house they could search it. If you walking home from work they couldn't legally have searched your house.

The Real ReasonWelcome to the club, Taco. Unfortunately, their naming rules are extremely loose and open to interpretation. In particular, you seem to be in violation of the Titles Rule which states:
Fantasy titles should be earned through the mechanics of the game, and should not be recreated through character naming. This category includes names which:
- Consist of any title prefix attached to a character's name be it fantasy-based or not (i.e. Kingmike, Presidentsanchez)
Because of this rule, you need to remove the title from your name and go by just "Taco", or choose a completely different handle.
It sucks, but them's the breaks. If you don't like it, well, feel free to start a write-in/call-in/email-in/protest-march-in campaign to get them to change their rules. Here's their webform. -

Re:Answer me this.
No I don't listen to Art Bell. And there are logs on ISP servers, I know because I use them all the time to track down people trying to use my websites as spambots.
. I mean, if there ARE logs on all the ISPs then why AREN'T they being used to catch the criminals using them?
Logs are being used to catch criminals all the time, it's just a little difficult to do it over borders and shit like that. Plus there's a lttle thing called the Constitution getting in the way here in America. And it's really hard to convict someone of a crime on circumstantial evidence, which is what a server log is considered in a court of law.
. And also, what would these phantom logs contain? Every bit that has ever been downloaded?
Your ISP doesn't have to log everybit that you moved, but it does log what requests you sent where. Then you take that info and go to the IP that you requested data from and check it's logs. Guess what, a list of every request ever made by YOUR IP, pointing DIRECTLY to the material. These logs are text files, which are really really small. I have logs of every request going back to 2002 on my webservers at work. I know where they were made from and who refered them.
I can also delete these logs on anytime I want, which is how we save space. After seven years, much like tax records, we assume the log is safe to delete.
Now you think about it, if there were no such thing as a server log, how did the RIAA succefully sue people who downloaded and uploaded copyrighted files? How did they prove it? It most have been my "phantom logs". Jesus man, you have no fucking idea what your talking about, do you?
The whole point is moot anyways as this whole ignorant rant from you is in response to me proving to you the legal difference between downloading and recording a TV show. You got stuffed on that subject by everyone in here and had to argue something so you could "be right." I tried explaining it to you like an adult, and you still don't get it. I use these damn things every fucking day and yet you tell me they don't exist. I work with people who use these things in a forensic capacity yet you say they can't do it. You are a fucking idiot. And here is your proof:

Word Processors were firstI nominate early word processors as the first killer apps--applications so compelling that the related hardware purchase was an afterthought.
Michael Shrayer released Electric Pencil (Google HTML cache of a defunct PDF file) in 1976. An architect friend and I saw Electric Pencil demonstrated on an Altair in a Washington, DC computer store in 1977; he was sold on the idea. A poster on the wall showed a man hugging a giant pencil. The slogan: I love my Electric Pencil.
MicroPro released WordStar for CP/M in 1978, a year before VisiCalc was available. Typists of that era will remember some Wordstar's many control key commands, particularly the e-s-d-x diamond (^e for up, ^s for left, ^d for right, and ^x for down). Preface those with ^q to move to the top, side, or bottom of the screen. WordStar was too large to fit into the 16 KB RAM available, so many commands loaded overlays from floppy disk. Fortunately, WordStar buffered keystrokes, so experienced users kept typing at full speed.
Electric Pencil and WordStar sold many computers and Centronics printers long before VisiCalc was born.

How to make thermite at home
A recent "popular science" article talked about how to make thermite. It's actually quite simple.
(Google cache) (With Pics)
From the article:
In high school, my social studies teacher talked about a substance that could generate heat so intense that a bag of it lit on the hood of a car would melt right through the engine block. Cool, eh? A Vietnam vet, he said that in the war they used blankets of the stuff to destroy sensitive equipment before capture by melting it into a puddle. (Putting holes in the odd jeep engine was just for fun.) ...
Thermite is simply a mixture of iron oxide (like the magnetite sand I discussed last month) and aluminum powder, which I buy commercially. (Incidentally, it's also the stuff that creates the image inside an Etch A Sketch.)
BTW: Magnetite is found by running a strong magnet through beach sand.
So, if you can afford a good magnet and an etch-a-sketch, then you can make thermite. -

Re:Speedy Enlightenment?I wish I could figure out what exactly is the bottleneck. There's no way that i8000/1GHz/512MB/GeForce2Go-64MB should be running that slow on Ubuntu5.04.
Hello, I'm a moderator on the Ubuntu forum. After looking at your post I conclude you need to do two things:
First you need to install and enable the official Nvidia driver. You are lucky enough to have an Nvidia card (their drivers are the best) and so you might as well get your money's worth. The directions here will guide you.
Secondly, we need to get your apps starting faster. To do that, follow this how to. I know its a Warty How To, but it will work for every Ubuntu released. And after it is done, things will speed up...
Also I know for a fact that your card will work with Xcompmgr. Look at the guide here. Don't use the drop shadows (the -cC command), just use the fading (-fF) and everything else will speed up as well (no more draw issues). I usually run the program in a terminal in my fourth desktop, out of my way. With xcompmgr and prelinking with the official drivers, on your laptop Ubuntu will fly!
Thanks for posting so much info so I could help, have a nice day.

If the article is somehow misused or not representative of his original publication, someone should let him know. If Richard S. Lindzen isn't reliable, why is he still at MIT?
I don't seek to assert that the claims in the article are correct, just that they merit consideration, and the whole concept of global warming is not necessarily a fact, or due to CO2.

I'm not sure about the grandparent, but, I like having both.
My AMD64 3000+ throttles down using Cool 'n quiet. My harddrives stop spinning. I don't have any optical drives, which burn power. My graphics card power usage cycles up and down depending upon whether the 3D is in use.
In fact, it will respond to SSH requests even when it is in the standby to ram mode, which reduces the overrall power usage to around 20-30 watts. Overall, my PC burns far less power when it is idling than older systems with no power management. An older pentium-pentium III system, always on, with no processor throttling, and poorer APM/ACPI capabilities is far more power hungry.
Keep in mind, standby to ram mode *does* turn off your GPU, Sound Card, and USB devices (just about everything except for network cards and input devices, which are pretty energy efficent. If you have smart fans controlled by BIOS they'll be turned off by powersaving.
Sure, peak power usage is higher; but I'm fine with that. I'm willing to trade peak usage (which is occassional) for overrall lower usage.
There's a chart here that shows tested power usage for an AMD64 system running at base Coon 'N Quiet Frequency (800 MHZ)

One impressive thing is that it works just fine with passive cooling; considering that my processor fan automatically cycles up and down depending upon heat, and I've reduced the number of fans in my system to 1 (passive heat pipe cooling on my video card, aluminum case which pulls heat from the HD), I'd say smarter design is more important that low performance/power design. -

I just copied the one from google cache back into the wiki - we'll see how long it takes before that asshole takes it down again. -
Re:Is his middle initial really necessary?In the case of David X. Cohen his middle name does not really start with an X (I dont know if he has one) but the Screen Actors Guild Membership Rules And Regulations say:
It is the Guild's objective that no member use a professional name which is the same as, or resembles so closely as to tend to be confused with, the name of any other member
David X. Cohen explains/complains about this in the commentary for one of the Futurama DVD's.
Maybe there is similar reason for the X here. -
