Are you sure about that? It might be more than you think: http://steam.bravehost.com/

The key problem with Yucca is scientific misconduct with data fabrication that taints the site beyond recall. Once the USGS scientists engaged in that, there is no clear way to understand what else may have been compromised. http://www.senaahq.bravehost.c...

You often hear about the police pulling over some guy for whatever reason and finding out he had an outstanding warrant or something. I've always wondered why they don't equip police cars with a video camera and the ability to OCR every single plate that comes into view. License plates all use the same font, so they should be easy to OCR, and in theory they use a high-visibility color scheme (though that's not always the case.) The camera would scan, read the characters, and compare it to a big list of stolen vehicles, stolen license plates, vehicles that fled accident scenes or other crimes, vehicles that belong to people that have warrants, Amber alerts, etc., and any "interesting" plates would pop up on the laptop that's now in most police cars.

I'm not saying it would put up a big "pull over and detain!" notice, but it could pop up the plate, the vehicle it should be on, the owner, and why it's of interest, then the officer would decide what to do. I.e., if a car pops up as belonging to a wanted 22-year-old male but it's obviously someone else in the car (too old, wrong gender, etc.) then they would ignore it.

Of course, like anything, there is the potential for abuse, but before you freak out about privacy, remember that driving, by definition, is a very public act. We're not talking about millimeter-wave radio or looking behind closed curtains with an infrared camera, we're talking about reading the required-by-law several-inch-high unique identifier on a hunk of steel with unobstructed windows on the public roads. If you're wanted and don't want to get caught, it's your responsibility to not go out in public with a visible unique identifier.

Back in the 1980's, I had a Color Computer 3, which was a pretty anemic machine, but it ran Microware's OS9 Level II. The Color Computer had a 6809b processor, which could only natively map 64K into its address space. Additional hardware allowed OS9 to map any eight of 8K blocks into the processor. Of that 64K, the entire kernel was eight kilobytes. The OS was a real-time multi-user windowing operating system.

My old system had 3-1/5 720K disks. The whole operating system fit on one disk. Adding another disk gave you a primitive graphical file manager.

Don't believe me? Here we go!

VCC Emulator:

You need OS9 Level II Disk Images:
http://vcc6809.bravehost.com/disks/os9l2.zip

Some Quicky Instructions:
The emulator emulates this expansion-slot thing called a Multipak, in which you drop the "502 floppy controller" into, in which you can mount the (360k) disk images, as seen above. From there you can boot, by typing: DOS

You can load/unload commands at will, and load a bunch of merged ones with:
load utilpak1

There is a manual here. Check out the technical section, the whole OS is a re-enterent tree!
http://www.clubltdstudios.com/coco/downunder/OS9/OS9_Level_2.zip

Be careful with the commands deldir (rmdir) dsave (xcopy) os9gen and cobbler...and format too. If you have external floppys the emulator can format them, if so mounted!

A little cramped for virtual-storage? You can install a virtual hard disk controller into the Multipak, and mount this virtual disk image virtual controller.
http://vcc6809.bravehost.com/bin/nitros9.zip

To boot from the virtual hard disk, change the FD-502 disk controller settings to RGBDOS. To boot from the virtual HD, Mount the HDD controller in the multipack which was a slot expansion thing. To boot, type DOS253

But ick, a small 32 column screen. You can fix it by:

wcreate /w1 -s=2 0 0 80 24 00 02 02
shell i=/w1&

No change? Press [Home] you just opened another virtual terminal and forked an shell to it. You can press [F11] for fullscreen, [F10] to kill the status line.

There's more disks here:
http://www.clubltdstudios.com/coco/downunder/OS9/

On the OS9 disks, you can find Basic09 and it's runtime RunB. For it's day, Basic09 was arguably the best compiled basic offered anywhere. Basic09/RunB/OS9 allowed dll-style basic programming in the 1980s. Today, you would find its error handling lacking, as actually requiring a line number, and C programmers would miss the case/switch statements.

The asm source code is out there for both OS9 and NitrOS9, which is OS9 modded for the Hitachi 6309.

Enjoy : )

At times I do wonder why the Linux kernal has to be recompiled for hardware changes. The kernel modules are a step in the right direction, but why is everyone still loading Nvidia TNT support? The kernel should be the kernel and that's it, and whatever hardware you have should be abstracted, and at least separable. Linux doesn't have commands like cobbler and OS9 gen to build a bootstrap from compiled modules. While the kernel modules are a good idea, why aren't they used for all devices? Flash drives are still being mounted as SCSI's? Because the kernel isn't modular, and it makes it harder to swap out device support for the end user.

Actually, Jehovah's Witnesses are responsible for killing more Jehovah's Witnesses than Hitler and the Nazis ever killed. Since 1945, JWs around the world have been refusing to accept medically necessary blood transfusions -- including those needed by infants and young children.

The following website summarizes 300 American court cases and lawsuits affecting children of Jehovah's Witness Parents. Including are 100+ cases where the JW Parents refused to consent to life-saving blood transfusions for their dying children:

SHOT: Archer is packing a shuttle craft with technology.

Commander Rob: I can't let you do this Archer. The risk to the timeline is too great!

Archer: I have to, I can't let Earth be destroyed.

Archer reaches for his phaser in slowmotion. Rob reaches for his in slowmotion. Archers beam shoots wide of Rob, and Rob's beam shoots wide of archer. It looks like they both missed. But the camera focuses on Rob's phaser blast as he hit the airlock button. The airlock starts opening.

Archer: What have you done!??

Rob: I've saved the time line.

Archer is sucked out into space.

Rob goes back and hangs out with Deanna, he is depressed because he had to kill Captain Archer.

Rob: I can't believe I had to do that.

Deanna: Don't worry, you did the right thing. You saved us all. Besides I know how I can make you feel better.

No it does NOT prevent phishing scams, but actually IE actually makes various online hosting providers' anti-phishing filters useless. If someone hosts a text (yeah, .txt) file with HTML, *only* IE renders it as an HTML page.

One of my friends who was drowsy late night after cramming for exams, got phished!!! All fault of IE and partially his (being too drowsy!)... by this site : http://newphotosfamyli.bravehost.com/link2.txt

(Yeah, the site is still up after being reported to concerned people! If someone knows this fellow please punch him in the gut for me, thanks!).

Regina is a relatively new science fiction writer- this is her first novel, released just this year, self-published through Lulu press. It was originally written as a romance- and thus has a good deal of appeal for the female sex. But I found it equally interesting as science fiction. It's likely to end up the first book of a series; and thus would give you additional purchases in the future. But best of all, it's available cheap ($5.00) as a PDF e-book; which would allow you to give it as a present to people on your list that you won't neccessarily be seeing for Christmas.

I just hope that the story lines in general don't get 'dumbed down' for a more 'general' audience (and by general I actually mean stupid) the same way Hollywood films have

Too late.

This sounds much like uClinux, which specifically targets boards without MMUs (memory management units). uClinux already runs on tons of target boards and platforms, including older Cisco 2500 / 3000 / 4000 routers. It's commonly used on smaller embedded devices, such as the Actiontec Dual PC Modem and Linksys WRT45G.
