Slashdot Mirror

Perhaps if you replaced the magnetron with a custom built klystron of similar size, it would work.

There are any number of "Extremely small" CRT devices you can get for pennies. (Like the eye-pieces of old VHS camcorders) These are basically a vacuum tube type electron gun, and which with some modifications, could be used to drive such a tiny klystron quite effectively.

[really blurry image I found on the internet depicting the tiny size of the CRT in question]

Amusingly, you could probably use the already existing magnetic deflection system of the CRT to help modulate the beam inside the klystron waveguide.

Obligatory wikipedia on Klystrons

Using one of those as the transmitter of your directional antenna would net you a VERY long distance connection.

Well he told me 5 Watt when I met him at a cocktail party. Maybe I could give you his email and you can debate physics with him. But he did have some serious antennae. I guess the only thing that was cool was that it was done in 1983! And from Missoula Montana. From the website: http://www.users.qwest.net/~k7vk/history.htm Member Memorable Radio Events December 1983. WA1JXN/7 (now W7GJ), Lance Collister became the first amateur radio operator in the world to communicate with an astronaut in space. Lance communicated with W5LFL, Dr. Owen Garriot while the Space Shuttle Columbia, STS-9, orbited the earth 250 nautical miles above the western Pacific. The antenna, a home brew "moon bounce" two-meter array of 12 yagis.

Were you really under impression that I was actually trying to employ some or any scientific method in trying to prove or disapprove existence of god(s) through use of bible(s) and other "holy" books?

Wouldn't that be kind of like explaining colour blue to a blind person by poking him in the foot with a needle?

Let me explain. I was being sarcastic, so I wouldn't have to be outright vulgar, when I speak my mind about such time, resource and lives-wasting parasitic organisations and systems such as religion.

Fiction being implied or presupposed doesn't change the fact that there is no evidence for existence of god.
If we are to go to such (i)logical depths we could even ascertain that there is more truth in story of Little Red Riding Hood then there is in the story of god(s).
Or as some (particularly here on slashdot) will say: "If bible is the proof for existence of god, then Superman comics are proof for existence of Superman".

Oh yes, one can stand on a stack of bibles and qu'rans and waive his or hers "BUT YOU DIDN'T PROVE THAT GOD DOESN'T EXIST" banner 'till tomorrow, but that just brings us back to the "Dragon in Garage" country. http://www.users.qwest.net/~jcosta3/article_dragon.htm
And you know what they say about people that claim that they have a dragon in their garage?

Preferably medium-sized one with colored lights.

Even more impressive is what is seen in Superconductors with the Meisner Effect and Flux pinning. I use this set to demonstrate to students the effect http://www.users.qwest.net/~csconductor/Experiment _Kits/Demonstration%20Kits.htm/ . The exciting thing about the article is not levitation but the fact that it may be a way to get rid of friction on the nano level. There are a few other things that I can think of where to apply this but with out actually reading their paper I don't want to comment. But levitation is real, we have been able to do it for a while now.

As an atheist, I can see how you'd say this. There are too many atheists, in my opinion, that take the word of theoretical physicists at face value. They're becoming a new priesthood, and that's a dangerous road to start going down, regardless of their qualifications.

I'm skeptical of this new idea of Hawking. If something is unproveable, then it's just the same as it not being true. It's like Sagan's dragon in his garage.

So until I see some math or published works, these could very well be the rantings of a madman.

My Treo 650 should have been labeled Duncan... for it went up and down like a Yo-Yo.

Ever since I got my Nokia 9300 Communicator, I have been scratching my head, asking Why, Why, Why is the Treo such a disaster, until I finally gave up and just use the 9300 exclusively. It's a kick-as phone, the best radio in a digital cellphone I've ever had. Its feature set is rich, and when accompanied by A KEYBOARD HUMANS CAN ACTUALLY USE (unlike the Treo... and I loved my Tungsten W, which should give me some cred in PalmWorld, as should my having written the Wireless FAQ for PalmOS, waybackwhen), please take me at my word when I say you should try it.

The 9300 is sold Stateside by Cingular's business division and by Amazon. But, it is soooo worthy. Having a dual-core processor with the phone side running Symbian Series 40 results is very, very good reliability, whereas I've had Treos crash so hard it required a complete hard reset to get it back... which means it's wiped clean until I can get back to my PC to resync.

Software bundle: IMAP/POP3/Blackberry mail, Opera's browser, Word/Excel/PowerPoint editing/viewing, excellent backlog of third-party apps including Acrobat viewer, gMail client, MP3/OGG player, et al.

I do miss the Treo 650's backlit keys (but, compare Treo's 1800 mah cell to the 970mah of the Nokia BP-6M battery. Backlighting buttons burns batteries, I s'pose). So, swing the lid in from the normal tilt, to around 75 degrees & the screen shines on the keys.

I have run entire disaster operations just from the 9300... texting to field operators, generating reports in Excel and Word to e-mail to the Powers-That-Be, including photos from a digital camera, entered by swapping in the MMC card from the camera.

I never fail to generate serious envy when someone sees it for the first time. It Is Slick, and Just Works.

The majority of modern marketing is nothing more than an arms race to get mind share. Everybody loses except the parasitic marketing "industry".

I think what the parent poster is reffering to is the (alleged) hidden APIs in Windows. You know, the ones that give say Word a slight performance edge over Word Perfect...

Sure, we don't need or usually even want to know how the underlying implementation works but if your going to create an API, why two? One for you and your crew and a, um sub-par, one for everyone else? How is that "transparent"?

I don't have much to add to your opinions, but I have one fact to present you, make whatever you want out of it:

http://www.users.qwest.net/~jorguson/dvdsales05.gi f

This is the sales chart of the Firefly DVD on Amazon. For a show that was cancelled, that's pretty good. It's been in the top 40 for more than 3 months, and on the top 10 for a total of about 5 weeks. Considering it was cancelled prematurely, that's pretty good.

I don't think it means the majority of people like it, but it isn't just a minor vocal groups of hardcore fans, lots of people bought it, so I expect that a good part of it liked it. Even if just 50% of them liked it, it's still not just a small group of people.

I agree, no paranoia required.

Slashdot is costing various software companies, particularly M$, a small though increasing fraction of their sales. That's millions of dollars of almost pure profit lost. It's financially worthwhile for them to spend a few hundred thousand astroturfing and pushing anti-F/OSS propaganda to reduce slashdot's and F/OSS's effect.

M$ built it's business on the "if it's legal it's ethical" lie and they've been caught astroturfing in the past. Like before they've probably subcontracted it so they've got plausible deniability, both for the market and for their own development employees so that morale isn't affected.

Of course, internally they won't call it astroturfing, it'll be "community building", "customer outreach" , "anonymous company blogging", "story planting" and other such marketing bullshit. Misrepresentation and lying in other words.

Anonymous marketer = paid zealot.

I certainly hope no one thinks it will be any different here. In my several years reading /., its been a constant that I can always count on; rabid fans of both spouting broken record thoughts about how poor the other is.

What I want to know is: how many of them are marketing 'droids?

Marketing/advertising is paid zealotry by another name.

I have yet to see any marketing/advertising person admit the competition is any good, ever. Unless it's a straw man they're setting up for a topple.

Market for FOSS and you're called a zealot. Market for M$ it's just a job.

Marketers try to manipulate tech writers and other opinion leaders all the time and that's probably at least part of what this tech writer is seeing. Remember, marketers with their dubious ethics are likely to write many letters to everybody else's one, causing them to have far more visibility than their numbers would indicate. And that includes on slashdot.

Are you thinking long term? Just because TCO is good in the short term doesn't mean it's good in the long term.

Microsoft doesn't have the best record in this area, having been caught astroturfing numerous times. At least when you read an 'official' blog, you are aware that you are getting cooperate propaganda.

Does anyone else think that they achieve their amazing speed from secret system calls?

I like this one better.

http://www.users.qwest.net/~mrp8587/VaderLucas2.jp g

Ahhh. The mark of the Paranoid Leenucks Zealot. You wouldn't happen to be related to my friend twitter, would you?

let's see you debunk the accepted record

I don't see how I can prove a negative, and I sure as hell haven't seen anything that approaches an "accepted record". The "hidden APIs" thing is just another one of those myths you wonderful people like to repeat and spread.

If you had a few more usable brain cells you would have figured out that undocumented != hidden, and that undocumented doesn't mean jack shit. Or do you think someone brighter than you already ran Word or Excel through a profiler to see which of the "hidden APIs" they call? Maybe you're hopelessly confused by things like these, which are not "hidden APIs" but undocumented things that you're not supposed to use, although you're more than free to do so if you figure them out, like Mark Russinovich and other people already did.

The fun comes when companies play stupid tricks with the native API and kernel-level functions (no doubt with Russinovich's book in hand) instead of with the goddamn published API - next version of Windows comes around and because the kernel people changed something (as they should have the damn right to do; that's why there's a fucking layer on top of it), the assholes that thought they were so cool to call NtCreateFile() directly are screwed. So that must be proof that Microsoft is evil!

If you're referring to the "Settlement APIs" that Microsoft recently published, here's a newsflash: Those were figured out fucking ages ago. Their ordinals in the system DLLs located, methods and structures and flags worked out by people (again) brighter than you. There's an entire class of these functions that are nothing more than fucking shortcuts to well-documented interfaces. Their existence has never been denied by Microsoft, and in fact you can even find some in examples used in the knowledgebase. The only thing Microsoft did was say "look, these are not documented because we might remove them later from the system. Use them at your own risk, or write your own wrappers". These are the only things al those bright Netscape engineers could find after digging around for a year, and they pointed at them as evidence of Microsoft's evil practices. So they were published and Microsoft was immediately forced to provide support for them (real support, you know, not in IRC). Well there you go. Now, given that you're so obviously intelligent I'd like to have your opinion as to what exactly in that list would give Microsoft a competitive advantage - especially considering almost all of those functions were already known in the developer community. Oh, and remember that there are about 30,000 APIs in Windows.

Shit. You know, I suppose the fact that Oracle and the Sun Java VM run fucking faster on Windows than on Unix (not to mention the fact that Oracle is a far better database than SQL Server) proves that Microsoft has all these hidden APIs working for them as well to crush their competitors. Why didn't I think of that before.

Jesus H. Christ, you people are quite the piece of work. All promethean and chest-thumping martyrs when it suits you but perfectly able to turn into bottom-scraping offal whenever you're desperately trying to spread some FUD about Microsoft or anyone/anything else you hate.

ground zero

"Perhaps just creating the appropriate hooks for low-level access would be more appropriate?"

Microsoft did this already, specifically with disk defrag software. For NT 4.0, Microsoft and Executive software, makers of Diskeeper, developed an undocumented API for low level disk access applicable to defrag software. They eventually disclosed this API to Symantec to use in their Speedisk product, but it remained undocumented.

I remember back in the BBS days when Microsoft was first caught doing this. It was euphemistically called "Stealth Marketing" at the time.

If JBoss has earned outrage for employing favorite MSFT tactics, then this proves how we continue to hold Open Source to a higher moral standard.

HERE are some misc. references to MSFT astroturfing & shilling:

I had the big brother version, the Tomy Omnibot (not that cheap 2000 version either, but the original). I remember playing with that thing for hours and hours and hours, training it to do stuff (by recording moves on an audio tape). I even remember in grade 5 having to create a little play with 2 of my classmates, and we used the Omnibot... and it was a smash.... Ahhhhh, the memories.... E-Bay, here I come! :)

Here's my favorite McBride pic:

According to some, to get the quality of 35mm analog film you'll need at least 10 megapixels on your digital camera.

You can buy such a camera, but be prepared to spend over 1,000 USD. I'm not so sure film is going to be disappearing any time soon.

Actually, he doesn't look like that much of a usability expert.

Just someone that liked to hang out on usenet and get into flamewars on the advocacy groups circa 1995.

Perhaps not everybody, but some are.

Because, after all, it's critical of Linux, so it just can't be true. This is Slashdot, where only Windows is the True Evil and every Linux is perfect and holy in every way.

No, I'm sorry! Thank you for playing, what do we have for the Straw Man, Johnny?

The facts of the matter involve mi2g being a documented doomsayer-that-never-actually happens, and Microsoft being a company that keeps getting caught shilling and astroturfing, or just plain faking it, like the fake "switch" ad.

Microsoft has funded many "benchmarks" and "white papers" or "studies" in the past - honestly, we have to consider the mi2g report just another piece of astroturf, until proven otherwise.

I'm sorry if I'm making you feel like I'm suspicious of you personally, but I am. MSFT's shilling record means that every pro-MSFT opinion is pretty much guilty until proven innocent - if you lie down with pigs, you can't expect to get up smelling like a rose, as Dave Barry once said.

Check this page, it has lots of info on UNIX and cross-platform (yes they do exist) virii.

Down the page there are further references to other pages.

Some pronounce this name with a "v" sound for the third letter from the right, the "vav." It is true, in today's Hebrew, that the letter "vav" is given a "v" sound.

The "Vav," today pronounced with a "v" sound, was originally pronounced as a "w" (the letter name is often written as "waw"). Biblical Hebrew: A Text and Workbook, by Kittel, Hoffer, and Wright; Yale University Press 1989, page 1.

Other texts have described this change to the "v" sound as coming from the European influence, mainly Germanic, which language had no "w", sound so the "v" was substituted. Hebrew really did not need this letter to be a "v" sound, since it already had a "v" sound in its second letter, Bet, when the dot (the dagesh) in the center of the letter is absent.

It doesn't have L3 or a daughter card because it doesn't need one. PCs are designed to be easy and cheap to upgrade. Macs are designed for people who can't tell a CPU socket from ZCR slot. And the XP 2100+ runs circles around the G4 1.3 GHz (it's about 35% faster in pure CPU tests). A heatsink costs about $10, so feel free to increase the Athlon's price to $71 (although, if you're upgrading, chances are you can use your old heatsink). Your message is typical of a Mac zealot, and a trip to your web site confirms that: you can't resist the urge to say "yes, I used iPhoto, I'm a good iBoy".

I have a sneaking suspicion that Prof. Gold will, once the solar sail spacecraft flies and works, attempt to invoke the solar wind as an explanation for the observed effects. This assertion should be easy to discredit by calculating the expected pressure of the solar wind on a sail of X area and then comparing that to the actual observed forces acting on the sail but for some people will never believe thier dragon dosen't exist[credit to Carl Sagan].

2. Not really. There is potential for "adult contenct" coming out of the mouths of people anywhere. Likewise, every time I've seen a job dealing with people, when they begin to get offensive they're instructed to hand it off to your supervisor and not deal with them -- probably more because they think they're less likely to handle is properly, but that's beside the point..

3. I hate telemarketers as much as anyone. I don't agree that offering credit cards is victimizing people any more than a telemarketer selling hamburgers to an obese man. Whether you think they should be calling you whenever they do is a different issue, and while you can say what you want to them, I can only advise you to save your breath. They aren't going to hear it.

4. I meant 10000 callers. Ever seen one of the call centers? I worked at a place called APAC which had 4 call centers in my home town that at any time had about 200 people making calls, and I know they were bigger in at least a half dozen other cities.

Like I said, I hate telemarketers as much as anyone. But doing anything other than saying "please take me off your calling list" only shows ignorance. I made a page back in the day that had a whole lot more about laws for telemarketers at ... well, I can't seem to find it. I know it was on here, if you can find it.

What do you mean? Am I claiming that Linus Torvalds (or whoever you imagine to direct "the linux community", the Linux analog of Bill Gates or Steve Ballmer) directs his employees to participate in public forums to post derogatory comments about MSFT products at his expense? No, I'm not claiming that.

You missed the point of my observation that a corporate entity (MSFT) conducts organized campaigns of misleading the public by hiding the origin of the "public opinion poll" or "grass roots campaign" or "think tank whitepaper".

Sure, the linux community does all of the things that MSFT does - but on an individual-by-individual basis. I've posted pro-linux articles in public forums. I've written anti-MSFT whitepapers. But I've done it by myself, on my own time, I wasn't paid for it, I haven't claimed to be someone else, I didn't copy any PR firm's talking points, and I haven't claimed any kind of authority based on lack of bias, as the Gartner and Alexis de Toqueville whitepapers claim.

That's the real point of my laundry list of shilling and astroturfing. MSFT, directed by upper management, puts out all kind of pro-MSFT material, whose origins are deliberately obscured. By pretending to come from Joe Sixpack or from think tanks, MSFT progaganda gains a mantle of legitimacy that it wouldn't possess if it openly acknowledged its origins.

...is found here Roger N. Clark's photography page provides supurb comparisons and information comparing film grain resolutions, and including digital cameras in the mix.

Many pundits here have been instantly shouting that 16+megapixels are unnecessary. They are very wrong. 16 megapixels only approxomate 35mm-- and don't even come close to large-format film.

The comparison is educational & eye opening and EXTREMELY well documented, with pictures.

The readers digest version is that "From these tests, it is my opinion that digital cameras will match Fujichrome Velvi 35mm film when they reach more than about 10 megapixels. Somewhere in the 12-16 megapixels will produce color image quality comparable to 35 mm film (this is a compromise of more intensity detail and less color detail than film). Somewhat fewer megapixels, approximately 7-8 Mpixels will match 35mm film intensity detail but at below 35mm film color detail.

Medium format film: about 50 digital camera megapixels are need to match Fujichrome Velvia in 6 x 4.5 cm.

Large format: more than 200 digital camera megapixels are need to match 4x5 Fujichrome Velvia film. How much more needs futher testing. "

Thanks Roger N. Clark.

Linux will never be able to compete until it ditches the fat arctic birdlife and gets itself a mascot like this little hottie. Let's face it: there's just no way Tux is ever going to compete with the divine Ceren. She is surely the woman of every computer geek's dreams. Wouldn't you kill to get just this close to her.
