Rossi Cold Fusion reactors available in 2012
Well, what about Cold Fusion reactors??
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/mar/17/nuclear-future-beyond-japan/
http://www.nyteknik.se/nyheter/energi_miljo/energi/article3108242.eceRossi and Defcalion Technologies are currently constructing 1MW fusion reactor in Greece.
They say it will be ready in October this year and production of 20kW market ready devices should start in 2012.New factory in Xanthi (100mln euros investment) is expected to manufacture 300.000 such devices per year:

Re:Pretty cool
Even about balloon-lifted stratospheric UAV... (after most straightforward attempt at news search; I think I've seen more than one "just a balloon" in UK mainstream media few years ago)
Which in itself wasn't unheard of since a few years even in 2005... (BTW, except for "just a balloon" media fad resurfacing in a few years and people forgetting this round, I fully except "OMG it's a spaceplane!" fad relatively soon) -
You only consider 0, not 0.0.0.0 vs. 127.0.0.1
"I'm not sure what about 50% of your rambling there means. The math in my previous comment stands for itself as I'm sure other readers can see." - by psm321 (450181) on Tuesday August 10, @11:29AM (#33204740)
See subject line above, & this explanation (for the 3rd time now) of where I got my 50% avg. from:
----
Using 0, I get a 14mb sized HOSTS file (0 is a valid "blocking address" that resolves to 0.0.0.0 on Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 & even VISTA prior to 12/09/2008)
Using 0.0.0.0, I get a 18mb sized HOSTS file
Using 127.0.0.1, I get a 27mb sized HOSTS file
----
(Each HOSTS file version in each case above has the same data in each as well, just diff. preceeding blocking addresses prior to each line record item for BLOCKED domainnames/hostsnames entries)
So, when comparing 0.0.0.0 & 127.0.0.1 versions, you get about a 30% size gain!
(I.E.-> You don't get a 92% gain, as you stated... you get a much smaller one (since 0.0.0.0 = 7 bytes, & 127.0.0.1 = 9 bytes))...
However, when comparing 0 based HOSTS files, vs. 127.0.0.1, you do get around 90++ % gains in nearly an entire order of magnitude as you noted.
So, averaging 30% & 90%? 90 + 30 = 120 / 2 (the two diff. block address gains vs. 127.0.0.1)?? You get, as I stated, around 50% on average...
(Actually a WEE BIT better at around 60%, but it's been awhile since I did this calculated avg. and the file does change line records items, in deletes too, and the lines are NOT consistent in length, like 25 bytes long each time etc. (& I am doing deletes this evening in fact as I write this to my HOSTS file)).
Get it?
----
"Making a HOSTS file smaller with 0's is not an abuse of HOSTS. In fact, I never contested your assertion that smaller HOSTS files are quicker to read. Go ahead and tout that as another "win". - by psm321 (450181) on Tuesday August 10, @11:29AM (#33204740)
Thanks - I will (especially since you said so)...

"The fact is, HOSTS files were simply not designed for millions of lines (no, I don't have a cite... it's common sense)" - by psm321 (450181) on Tuesday August 10, @11:29AM (#33204740)
Oh, really? No, I knew you would not have a damned thing to back you, which is WHY I asked it of you... I confronted MS' own personnel on this, Foredecker is his name & he posts here in fact (senior mgt. there in fact & he has his CSC degree too), & he had to concede all I have written here as well... I've been thru it, in other words, with folks in this science that are your technical superior (unless you can show me an MS or PHD to YOUR name/credit that is, or an RFC that states contrary data to what I do).
As to common sense?? Yea, ok... see below:
----
"DNS servers were designed for that. You are abusing HOSTS by using it to replace the functionality of a DNS server. Because the OS is not designed for such huge HOSTS files, it will be slower than using DNS as intended (even for example a DNS server running on your local machine to blackhole all those domains for you) - by psm321 (450181) on Tuesday August 10, @11:29AM (#33204740)
#1 ON DNS:
Look up Dan Kaminsky sometime, & see how "reliable" & "attack proof" DNS servers are, ok? Here, take a read, be enlightened -> http://www.google.pl/search?hl=pl&source=hp&q=%22Dan+Kaminsky%22+and+%22DNS%22&btnG=Szukaj+w+Google & I do NOT intend to waste both CPU & RAM + other forms of I/O on a clearly faulty solution, when a HOSTS file does the job & for far less cost!
Also again - prove to us all reading that how I use a HOSTS file for increased speed & security online in a layered fashion is abusing a HOSTs FILE... SOMETHIN

Why? To waste CPU/RAM & security??

"Yeah, in a file with that many entries, the extra 8 bytes per line would create a large performance hit." - by agrif (960591) on Thursday August 05, @08:49AM (#33148838) Homepage
It does in ANY file, but it merely shows itself more in larger HOSTS files (and in relatively largish HOSTS files you must turn off the local DNS client cache in Windows in fact, a bug I reported to MS years ago in fact they still have not corrected). The speed hit compounds itself the MORE line entries a HOSTS file has though.
----
I'm going to agree with the AC in a sibling thread, though: if your HOSTS file is larger than 10MB*, you're doing something with HOSTS it was never meant to do." - by agrif (960591) on Thursday August 05, @08:49AM (#33148838) Homepage
First, I'd like to see documentation of that from the RFC's or a MS or PHD in this science (I have dual degrees around this science myself in a BS CSC and CIS minor from another degree in fact)... just as I told that other AC who impersonated and ad hominem trolled me here (he also says that using 127.0.0.1 is not slower than 0.0.0.0 and like yourself? I disagree on that account due to filesize, length of line entries parsing, AND loopback operations (the latter being one we BOTH noted in fact)).
Secondly - See this:

RESURRECTING THE KILLFILE:
(by Mr. Oliver Day)
http://www.securityfocus.com/columnists/491
PERTINENT EXCERPTS/QUOTES:
"The host file on my day-to-day laptop is now over 16,000 lines long. Accessing the Internet particularly browsing the Web is actually faster now."
"From what I have seen in my research, major efforts to share lists of unwanted hosts began gaining serious momentum earlier this decade. The most popular appear to have started as a means to block advertising and as a way to avoid being tracked by sites that use cookies to gather data on the user across Web properties. More recently, projects like Spybot Search and Destroy offer lists of known malicious servers to add a layer of defense against trojans and other forms of malware."
----
Well, opinions vary, but... as you can see? A respected security researcher in Mr. Oliver Day who works for securityfocus.com agrees with me and for the same reasons I extolled here on HOSTS file usage... security and speed, are better using one.
----
"It may be easier than setting up a proper DNS server, but it's not as efficient." - by agrif (960591) on Thursday August 05, @08:49AM (#33148838) Homepage
See http://www.google.pl/search?hl=pl&source=hp&q=%22Dan+Kaminsky%22+and+%22DNS%22&btnG=Szukaj+w+Google on DNS servers, and their compromiseability (per Dan Kaminsky, & Moxie Marlinspike's another)... I don't rely on those alone and when I do? I use Open DNS or Scrub IT DNS, since you cannot "hardcode" the entire internet in a HOSTS file after all!
PLUS, DNS servers eat up CPU & RAM I don't need to be eating up here, when a HOSTS file and Open DNS do the trick for me rather nicely!
----
"(I appreciate distributing a HOSTS file is easier than telling people how to setup a DNS server, though.)" - by agrif (960591) on Thursday August 05, @08:49AM (#33148838) Homepage
I think they're pretty much cake personally, but to each his own... avoiding setting them into "recursive mode" is a good idea though, see the URL from GOOGLE above, on THAT very note.
----
"I think if you start worrying about efficiency enough to start shaving bytes off of lines, you should consider the efficiency of loading a 10MB file instead of a proper DNS server, which can store this data more efficiently than a plain-text list." - by agrif (960591) on Thursday August 05, @08:49AM (#331

Re:This happened to a family member . . .
I have posted about it previously, but there are very strong indications that googles account system suffers from one or more bugs. There have been dozens of reports of users who have accidentally been logged into other users accounts. It is definitely possible that crackers and spammers have figured out how to exploit the security holes by now.

Re:Security through obscurity
Well, for the record, Google's security system IS BUGGY. There has been scattered reports across the internet about how users accidentally have been able to login to other peoples accounts. The problem has been reported to google multiple times on their mailing lists, but google has never given a proper response to it. They are likely afraid of the public PR disaster that would occur if people found out how insecure their google accounts really are.

Mod parent up!
"Gigamesh" is the perfect example of how to ruin a perfectly good book with too in-depth reviews, though in my opinion the whole damn book is really good. There's a copy up on books.google, translated by Michael Kandel - as far as a native speaker of Polish (with an upcoming BA in english. Wish me luck!) can tell you, a pretty faithful translation. There's also a small article up on Wikipedia.

Re:Um, great?
Ok, that sounded childish, but look how often (and in which way) the word "community" is used by Free Software Foundation.
They can have little or no connection to realworld communists, but IMO the word can still be applied to them, given their pro-community POV ("Copyright vs. Community" etc). -

its not QoS as you know it
at least not 802.1p , It works on the radio level (PHY)
http://w3.antd.nist.gov/wctg/manet/docs/VTC2003_Ba ckoff.pdf
all you have to do is make sure that multimedia sending device gets their backoff timers boundaries set lower than the rest of the wifi boxes on the channel. That way they will be the first to occupy the band if in need. Thats how Cisco handles QoS in VOIP WiFi phones of theirs. Its 100% compatible with the receiver, only transceiver has to support it.
google has it all
As some of you guessed before this whole certification is pointless :) You can do the same in Linux today. Hell, thats how 802.11 DOS works (small traffic occupy whole band, just send first and pretend you send something big) -

Re:Even a 100% tax is ok
No, it isn't.
There was an attempt in Poland to tax linux this way. The thinking behind it was that if it is a gift for a commercial entity, than said entity has to pay Donation and Inheritance tax for it. And the base for this tax wouldn't be the price paid (zero). As it is with all donations, the base for the purpose of taxation is normal market price. Polish Revenue Service wanted it to be price of MS Office for OOo and price of Win NT/2k for Linux system.
Now, this news we are writing about is April 1st, but the history with trying to tax Linux, Open Office etc in Poland was true. Luckily it failed, although Finance Ministry didn't issue official statement or act about it in order to not tie hands of some enterprising clerks in revenue service.
Unfortunatelly I cannot find anything about it in English. If you know Polish google for site:linuxnews.pl podatek

Andrzej Lepper
His name is Andrzej, which means Andy in english, and I am sure he hates both Microsoft and SCO, in fact he hates everyone except people who vote on him.
Here in Poland we didn't know he could write a virus. But most people from his party were uneducated when entering parliament, and now few of them are after two schools. So these people are learning fast. I hope he will not contribute Linux Kernel soon... -

Re:Don't Hold Your Breath
I'm not trying to imply that the United States is somehow more sophisticated, I'm suggesting that Americans tend to view cellphones ringing about as enjoyable as listening to a car alarm going off. And not because they're boring, monotone and tedious, either. We dislike the phone because it represents an interruption, rendered jarringly, like an audial ICQ popup (though I'm told they don't do that anymore).
Living in Japan I like to think that Americans are more sophisticated, but its easier for me to *not* see the people in America who would go all goofy over a new ring melody. Here I see people who I thought I respected get all excited about their new melody and wonder what the world is coming to... right now ringing melodies are number 5 on the Japan Google Zeitgeist
As for people being annoyed by the phones, It is considered the end-all of rudeness to talk on a phone in the train here (but not to your friend next to you ?) but I have been in busienss meetings where the main speaker beings the meeting to a grinding halt for 5 minutes to answer his phone. It seems to be accepted pratice.
