Slashdot Mirror

You're citing businesses trying to block alternative approaches.

If you really want to see a mess, take a look at Compressed Natural Gas. Used to be you could convert your truck/car/bus whatever to run on natural gas/gasoline. When you burn natural gas, it burns cleaner than gasoline and is cheaper than gasoline. Right now, CNG is going for under a buck/gallon in Oklahoma, $2.60 in California.

The EPA and the California Air Resources Board, for reasons unexplained, decided to regulate conversion companies out of existence. EPA started out by mandating that companies that manufacture the retro-fit kits get their kits tested for each and every car model it was being installed on. Smog test wasn't good enough, it had to be a special $40,000 EPA test. California, not wanting to be left out, upped the test fee to $300,000. *EVERY* US kit manufacturer threw in the towel on the domestic market. The costs of the testing put the costs of the kits up so high that no one would buy them. The only way the remaining manufacturers stay in business is exporting kits to other regions of the world like Europe and South America. European countries only require that the engine has a regular smog test after the install to verify the kit is properly installed and functioning correctly. If you happen to find a kit, you don't dare install it in California because the cops will confiscate your car.

We have enough domestic natural gas to run every car in the United States for 100 years. We're the Saudi Arabia of natural gas and we can't use it except to cook and make electricity.

It's damn stupid.

We all can't be ladiesman217.... :)

Too bad he didn't just look on eBay for a FOUR dollar one:

There's a problem with eBay when it comes to getting rid of more obscure stuff, especially non-working items that are still useful for spares, or accessories/manuals/etc. that are for specific equipment, as a seller has to be listing such an item at the same time as a buyer is looking for it. As the listing period on eBay is relatively short, then often a buyer and seller will miss each other.

The eBay 'Want It Now' service is an improvement on a normal auction for people looking for specific items, as they can post a want it now request for free and then wait for sellers to contact them. However, I suspect that very few people are aware of this service, and it doesn't help in the case when you've got something obscure to get rid of and are seeking a buyer.

I think that there could be a big opportunity for a website where people can post listings of things they are getting rid of or looking for and which stay up for a longer period of time (e.g. six months). The site could then put buyers and sellers in contact with each other and then let them complete the transaction through other means (e.g. via a private eBay auction; arrangement to post/collect the item for free, a la Freecycle), but the last time I looked for such a site, I didn't find anything like it.

The history of the license plate:

In The Hound of the Baskervilles [1902] by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are found unsuccessfully trying to catch a public hansom cab. Holmes, however, got close enough to the cab to spot its license number, which became a major clue in cracking the case.

This is the reality:

Deputy charged in assault on prostitute, [Aug 1], Mom pleads for daughter's safe return [Aug 1], Police say Sciota man tried to burn bar

You will find stories like these in every newspaper published in the last 100 years.

The license plate is not going to go away and it will be read by the neighborhood watch and the highway patrolman.

The policeman is first and last the successor to the watchman in the night. He needs to know who is out there. He needs to move quickly sometimes.

Now back to our story:

New York became the first state to require vehicle registration [1901] and California followed suit later that year. The first New York issues were homemade plates, bearing the initials of the owner without any numbers. Massachusetts was the first state to actually issue plates, beginning in 1903. By 1918, all 48 of the contiguous United States were issuing license plate. Although they were territories at the time, Alaska and Hawaii began issuing plates in 1921 and 1922.

License plates have changed significantly over the years. Early plates were not fancy -- just the state name or abbreviation, a registration number, and, more often than not, the year. Fancy lettering, reflectorization, slogans, county names, illustrations or logos peculiar to a particular state became more common.

Beginning in 1957, most types of North American plates have been a standard size, six by twelve inches. Prior to that, different sizes and shapes were not uncommon. Plates were normally rectangular, but oval, square, round, and triangular shapes were used. For a number of years, Kansas and Tennessee cut their plates to match the shaped of the state itself. The distinction for the most unusually shaped plates goes to Northwest Territories and Nunavut in Canada, which have their plates cut in the shape of a bear. Automobile License Plate Buying Guide

Also let's hope that the terrists don't figure out how to send a CD-ROM/DVD/Memory-chip/iPod/digicamera/phone/etc. through the mails or FedEx!!!!

Actually it's probably the best way that you could help out. If enough people bough the currency then the supply would go down and the value would go up. You would be reducing inflation. Go for it!

Thereby you'd also be making the currency you've just bought more valuable. That's like some sort of financial perpetual motion machine!

And to the GP: people nowadays are humorless dicks and will probably sue you for a billion US dollars, at which point you'd be better off moving to Zimbabwe. Still, $Zim is easy to get on Ebay. That banknote will be worth less than a $USD 5 by the time the database is update with this post, so the ebay operation's ROI must be pretty good.

Unfortunately the Zim government decided to drop 10 zeroes from its currency, somewhat crippling their chances of beating the German and Hungarian records of hyperinflation.

@ClintJCL - Turns out you are very unlucky. Per the Wiki link in a comment below, the red should, in fact be on the left, which matches both the NASA images and the glasses I have. Obviously we can all sleep better tonight knowing the facts. ;-)

I actually don't mind the purely mathematical or purely algorithmic patents. Phil Katz patented some efficient string matching algorithms that became a well-known compression program. He was a pioneer who pushed the field of CS. If Burrows and Wheeler wanted to patent their algorithm and license it as a compression technology, then awesome. And if the Fraunhofer institute found an efficient lossy way of compressing DCT using psychoacoustic modeling and licensed it, that's good for everyone.

The problem with software patents are with the system itself:
1) They are too long. You could renew a software patent for a period of time that is actually longer than the home computer has even existed. That's not reasonable.
2) The patents on things that are NOT algorithmic. Like adding "over a network" to regular everyday things and claiming that is patentable. Running an auction ...over the internet or running an escrow service...over the internet or even buying something from a catalog...in a particular number of mouse clicks Those are not patentable. Those are absurd.

This foolishness is a recent development too. I doubt anyone has a patent on ordering from a mail order catalog...with a particular number of pen strokes . But for some brain-dead reason, adding "network" or "internet" makes it non-obvious.

You don't join the military for a life of luxury, you join to serve your nation. Luxury accommodations are out-of-scope. A poor example for those under your command, and a bad precedent for where the U.S. command is headed.

The question isn't jump-seats versus a luxury suite. First-class airliner seats, six to ten grand, and that they already have. Mil-spec, hardened laptops, five, six grand, standard equipment. Good quality food and drink, gronk.

Multi-million dollar traveling accommodations? Quit the government, join the corporate world, and earn your way up to rewards that come from generating profits, not being a tax-paid decision-maker. The senior officers I've admired most are the ones who drive their own cars, and don't try to lead the pampered life on the taxpayers' dime.

Right. So you could spend a day chumming it up with "Business divisions" at Dell. Myself I'd just do a search on ebay. :)

I know a guy who sells almost exclusively antique and classic toys on ebay. He makes a killing going around to auctions and estate sales in his area and unloading the stuff on ebay.

I am the technology products seller mentioned in the article. I have a BS in Comp Sci. from the University of Maine, 95', and have been a Software Engineer at several .com's until I wrote the code that is running my website (http://www.teckwave.com/#showMostViewed), eBay Store (http://stores.ebay.com/TECKWAVE), Amazon, and Google Base accounts. It's written in Java using the Google Web Toolkit for the website and several Web Service API's for integration with the various marketplaces, distributors, and warehouses. It runs on Amazon's EC2 compute cloud and uses S3 for image hosting. My intention from the start was to create a scalable software platform to make selling online easy, and I think I've about done it. Buy.com coming into eBay and getting their backroom deal has accelerated my plans. No hard feelings though, business is business.

Their anti gun policy made me stop using ebay years ago....

That is why I switched to Auctionarms.com for all my gun related auctions.

They even have penny auctions. Just 500,000 pennies for a matching 1911A1 and M1A.

Please note that this is legal since a federal licensed gun dealer is required to ship and do background checks for transactions as required by law for interstate gun purchases.

why do people insist on calling ebay an auction site?

it's not

Especially when it does a significant chunk of its business through fixed-price listings such as these.

auctions dont end at a certain time.
the end when the bids are no longer increasing.

One big reason that eBay makes money is that auction-style listings of a fixed duration are less regulated than traditional auctions.

does anyone know which vendors sell constitution toilet paper? I'd like to buy some rolls and mail them to my congressman. I doubt they'll get the message but it would be more productive than just typing your feelings into a letter they'll just 'bin' anyway.

You can buy it on ebay here but you'd better hurry, the auction ends tomorrow. I would highly encourage your proposal.

Disregarding the dark humor desecration aspect, if the congressperson actually uses it, it would provide reading material while doing "business" that who knows, might have a miniscule chance of subconsciously sinking in over time.

Looks like they can be had for around $4, shipped:

I have many boxes of old magazines too - Radio-Electronics being the most valuable to me. But paper is not made to last, and takes up too much room. I cringed at first, but a digital archive is really much better.

I got one of these stack paper cutters (seems to be a good model), cut the spines off the magazines, and use the networked scanner/copier/fax combo we have at work. It doesn't have enough options and file formats, but PDF is good enough for this purpose in practice. It saves the PDFs to a network drive and I copy them to a thumb drive. Then at home I use Acrobat to OCR the PDFs, rearrange pages if necessary, split/combine PDFs, number the pages, insert page thumbnails, and re-compress them. (Yes, ick, commercial software on Windows... but there aren't many alternatives.)

It's still a slow process though. The ADF on the copier jams up sometimes, and processing one magazine at a time adds up to a lot of time when you've got so many like I do.

My other favorite is the speaker scam, which someone tried to pull on me about two weeks ago (I hadn't heard of these for years). It's not really a tech scam, just your basic grift that happens to involve technology: an "installer" got an extra set of speakers/surround sound system/plasma TV accidentally loaded in his van for a big install job. Last time this happened, his boss reamed him a new one for not noticing in the first place, then sold them and kept the cash himself.

They've moved to eBay. A year or two ago, I was trying to find some new speakers. I spent several hours clicking around the various brands and types on eBay, and for kicks (maybe because I'm slightly evil) I'd place a few opening bids on obviously high-end items, knowing I'd lose the auction. The next morning I had "congrats! You've won!" email in my inbox, and an invoice for $78 for a pair of DR-SL-900 speakers. It took me all of 10 minutes to figure out that these were a scam. I offered to pay the relisting fees as a good netizen, expecting something like $5:

Item: DR-SL-900 HOME THEATER SPEAKERS SURROUND SOUND (5836587072)
This message was sent after the listing closed.
ou_mike_hollinger is the winner.

Hello,

I just won this pair of speakers. To be honest, I didn't expect to win a $1500+ dollar pair. I thought my bid would be outbid rather quickly.

Can I just pay your re-listing fees or something? I sell on eBay as well, and hate it when people do this, but someone offered to cover my relisting fees for eBay, which pretty much removed all the expense from my pocket.

How does that sound to you?

Sorry for the inconvenience,
~ Mike

Hi, that would be fine. Please pay $45 asap. Thanks, Chris

After replying that that was a ripoff, I got back a note detailing the various fees they paid, which totaled $30. Where'd the extra $15 come from? After that, I told them I'd researched the product, and that they could initiate the dead-beat bidder process, so I could take the negative feedback and be on my merry way.

I got this response:

Hi, yes it does come out of stock as soon as we list the item. The item is taking down and packaged very well. There is nothing wrong with the products that we sell. Please see our feedback everyone loves them. They are great speakers and we stand behind d them 110%. The sites that you mentioned are all bullshit from people that have no idea what they are talking about. If you would like you could pick up a copy of E_GEAR and see that the speakers where tested by pros and the rated them 5 stars. We spent a lot of time listing them and packaging them. We are very easy to deal with. Please pay what you think is fair and we will leave it @ that. If you would like you can contact us @ 201-450-1145. Thank You, Chris

I told them "no deal," and they opened an "unpaid item dispute" against me. I put in the dispute that they were a scam, and about an hour later the dispute was closed for the reason: "payment has been received." Hah. I was actually waiting for them to leave me positive feedback...

So I learned my lesson: Always research before you bid on eBay, even if the bid's not serious. ;-)

How in the world do hackers get their hands on these while the children they're intended for don't?

There was a promotion when OLPC came out that allowed you to purchase one. In doing so, another OLPC was sent to a child as well.

The OLPC project had stated that a consumer version of the XO laptop is not planned.[8] However, the project established in 2007 the laptopgiving.org website for outright donations and for a "Give 1 Get 1" offer valid (but only to the United States, its territories, and Canadian addresses) from November 12, 2007 until December 31, 2007.[9] wikipedia.org

eBay is not the seller of the product nor involved in the sale(2), nor an auction service(1), and therefore have no right to demand that businesses accept payment in chickens or paypal.

eBay could not overtly attempt the Australian "project" in the USA due to federal antitrust laws (the so-called "market conditions" referred to in eBay press statements). However, they are getting there through the back door by banning the viable competitors, banning direct communications between parties to the transaction, intercepting communications which include links to alternate pay sites, including "paypal is prefered" in the sellers' ads, banning other checkout systems, and other incremental measures.

If you are unable to sign into your account, please use this link to contact us. I am an avid IT professional, and yes, this may seem a little bit immature, but Ebay is the most unfair company I have ever dealt with in my entire life and have cost me hundreds of dollars due to their unfair policies. So flame at me if you like ebay, you just haven't been scammed by them yet.

I really don't see why they would be worried about that. People buy $1500 handbags because they are $1500 handbags. Not because they couldn't get something similar or identical for $50. By paying $1500 they get the right to say they bought a $1500 handbag, so they can prove how rich they are, and how much better than everybody else. I think the real reason they are suing, is because they are greedy, but also because if you don't defend your trademark than you lose it. It would be too detrimental to their business for them to risk losing their trademark altogether. Therefore, they have no option but to sue. Now, the whole thing about not selling even legit items is just the lawyers going too far, but the basic premise of defending your trademark isn't too bad. At least you can still buy Louis Vitton skateboard trucks.

I understand forgeries, as it could tarnish the brand names. But for legit items let them resell them.

You are right of course but eBay's problem is that eBay cannot be bothered to seriously check. The ONLY way to be reasonably sure an item is not a fake is to inspect it in person and have a full documentation trail detailing who bought it, where they bought it, and when. This is what they do in the art world to authenticate pieces. Since eBay never physically inspects ANY merchandise sold on their site, there is no way they can possible determine if an item is a fake.

From my own experience I've sold some high end luxury goods on consignment through eBay. (Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Rolex, etc) In each case I had a full documentation trail, the parties were known to me or my close associates, and we had the items physically inspected by an expert in that merchandise to ensure authenticity. Through eBay's VeRO program we were accused several times of pedaling fakes even though we had the real thing. There was no opportunity for us to prove that we had authentic merchandise though we certainly could have done so were there any means to plead our case. Our auctions were summarily taken down and we were given strikes with no recourse of any kind. To be sure there are a TON of actual fakes on eBay but eBay sure as hell can't tell the difference. Worse, to avoid lawsuits they've given brand holders full power to remove auctions that they should have no power to influence under the first sale doctrine.

The problem is that eBay's incentives are all wrong - they just want their fees and no lawsuits - and they've handed responsibility (through VeRO) to trademark and brand holders whose incentives actually contradict the law. Louis Vuitton doesn't want ANY of their products sold via eBay regardless of authenticity. So eBay users get screwed in the deal either way. Sellers can have their auctions pulled for no good reason and buyers can't be reasonably sure of authentic products because eBay refuses to check. The winners here are definitely not you and me.

This hands-down has to be my favorite keyboard, ever.
No inane "volume" and "www" keys, and no CTRL-ALT-DEL nonsense. When you typed on it, you knew that the EBCDIC it emitted had enough 'umph' to make it at least all the way to the 3274 controller it was attached to, and maybe even all the way from there to the big mainframe in the machine room.
And most definitely heavy. I think there's probably about as much metal in it as a Toyota Prius. I often think that it'd be interesting to get one of these and modify it to use as a standard USB or ps/2 keyboard.
This would sink "Das Keyboard" in a millisecond.

NAS devices don't always suck. If you scrape the bottom of the barrel, you'll get scum, but if you invest in quality software written by people who know what they're doing and hardware that isn't just what's on pricewatch this month, you'll do well.

Here's a little advertisement for the company http://massmountain.com/ I work for (it's a family company, BTW, with experience in the industry since the early 1970s):

Well, I work for a company that uses an embedded linux with a customized web interface for our SAN/NAS boxes. We use quality hardware, not POS Dell stuff. We use hot-swap components (Hard-drive, power-supply, fan...) and quality RAID cards (recommend hardware RAID 6). The software we use is capable of automatic iSCSI failover using virtual IPs, and NFS/Samba/iSCSI/etc volume replication (which is like block-level mirroring two devices together). The snapshot capabilities are excellent (and will often save you from many software mistakes... like accidentally deleting everything), and everything is configured using the slick web GUI. FTP and lots of other protocols are available (like AFP, rsync, and support for backup from veritas, retroclient, brightstor, etc.), and are configured all using the web GUI. Anti-virus scanning on the NAS volumes is available. Also, our box works with FibreChannel, both initiator and target (but we mostly use iSCSI, which the software supports being a target or an initiator).

Our boxes usually sell at around $1250/Terabyte (we can bargain) as a complete solution, but often cost less per terabyte the more storage you get.

Here's a link to one of our lower-end boxes:

In most engineering disciplines (if not all), things are not designed simply to not break - that would be unrealistic. Instead, they are designed to fail gracefully;...

There's no heavy engineering here but one of the things I've always wondered about was the reason cast iron is still used for high quality reloading presses. Steel would be stronger and lighter. And when cast iron breaks, it just snaps. Then someone who thinks deeper than me pointed out that for this application (which requires parts be held in perfect alignment), catastrophic failure is preferable. If a press were to bend, even a little, it would appear to be working fine but produce poor-quality output. A press needs to either be perfectly aligned or obviously broken.

Good presses are heavy. Among the presses I own, a legendary early Hollywood is my favorite (Trust me, the two serious reloaders in the audience are now highly impressed) and weighs over 40 pounds. I wonder if it would be possible to make one of these from a light, strong material that would never bend, only break, under excessive load?

That would be not just cool but very useful for portable applications.

You mean, like this one? Say, that would be about the same price as a DVD burner! Hmmm. :-P

As for backup software, there are a number of FOSS solutions available if you're running *nix. And then there's always ntbackup, which comes free with 2K, XP, Server, etc. Actually, it may go back as far as NT 3.51, but I don't have a machine still running that to check.
