Re:Power CalculationLet me make a correction. I used a soup can when they said tuna can. My mistake. Assume a tuna can of dimensions of dimensions
.0381m length and .04206m diameter. That would lower the resistance of the aluminum to .781x10^-9 (I also forgot some decimal places in my previous equation :P). That means the total power would be:(12x10^6)^2*(.781x10-9) = 112.464kW.
That's not much power. In addition, it only lasted a few milliseconds so it wouldn't come close to the total power usage of the world in a year.

What I wonder about even more:
Why is it that in the countries listed as most "restrictive" in terms of IP laws, that those that directly produce the least IP own the most and use/abuse the laws the most?
Take the US for example. While they have pop singers and the like enormously popular domestically AND internationally, their ownership of IP doesn't even begin to apporach that of the members corporations of RIAA and MPAA. Or technology: most of America's brightest minds take employment with large corporations and contininue to generate IP for the corporation, or have their IP taken from them ( Philo Farnsworth didn't get rich from inventing the modern television, but RCA sure got rich from his work).
It's a lot easier to take a stand on IP when you don't have to invent your own and have a crapload of money to buy it or take it from others. -
Re:Yes, but can you use it...
Heh, you should see what happens when you put aluminum cans in a high power magnetic induction device... Whew, found some images at TeslaMania for before and after...
When I was in school, the prof brought one of these into lab one day, and he was using it to railgun things across the room... They kept it locked up because some years before a student thought it would be funny to wrap a banana in foil and stick it into the machine, and it worked... picture a in your head a fine mist of burnt banana covering a good portion of a large freshman electronics lab, and that's close to the result. This site explains why with pictures. -
Online Lynx converter so you can see...(Lynxit!)Lynxit! Thanks go to the good folk at Salt Lake Community College. Their site lets you see what your (or someone else's) Web page looks like in Lynx.
Have a look:
What this page does is take the one you specify, and fire it back, but presented the way Lynx displays it. There are clickable options.

Re:VrT, lynxNo. It's just annoying because I'm in consoles all day, and when I'm switching through I have to skip by a blank console. I don't know much about programming other than Perl.
Lynx is still in active development. According to http://sol.slcc.edu/lynx/current, the last pre-release was just August 13th. My main problem with lynx is the way it handles tables -- if you use tables on your site, it's destined to look horrible (look at Slashdot! eww). My page looks decent if you want to take a look. I just make sure to do ALT tags for all the images, and everything else is fine. No lynx-specific page required.

Done!I've been wanting to create an easy encryption applet for a while, and now I finally found an excuse! Please visit my encryption applet page. My excuse was that I could experiment with using multiple applets on a page to create a modular applet. The idea worked out pretty well IMHO, although I would like some feedback if your browser doesn't usually crash on applets and it does on this one. (It's a little more memory intensive than most, I think.)
Then leave the keyword field blank, select the "dictionary-enhanced DES" scheme, and paste the following text into the "encrypted text" area. Run the decryption. Then expect a knock on your door within a few days.

I didn't use 65,536 words because I don't have time for that. I couldn't even come up with 256! So there are only 16.

Re:I want the dataset for that 3d mapThe first thing I did when I saw these pictures is I searched for a rectangular topological map that could be applied as a texture to a sphere. I found one here. Then I cropped it down to only the map itself and put it into Extreme 3D and a simple spinning animation is being rendered as I type. Once it's finished you'll be able to look at it here.
Of course, real-time fly-bys and ultra-high resolution images would be much better. Anyone have any ideas?
