Bottle water is 1000x more expensive than tap.
FDA regulations on bottle water are much less strict than EPA's on tap water.
Studies shows that tap water quality is actually better than many bottled water.
A lot of bottled water actually come from taps and not from srings

Ringworld by Larry Niven is pretty good. Obviously, he takes liberties but Ringworld inspired a body of work focused on if it is actually possible and what it would take to make it happen. That sounds to me like a good educational opportunity. Some of his ideas are also complete bunk and sorting them out also seems like a nice way to discuss the text.

Do you guys still trust a browser that runs without hardware DEP? (buffer overrun protection)

A fully patched Windows XP SP2 box that runs the latest version of Opera will turn off DEP (Data Execution Prevention) for the Opera process. Leaving the door open to buffer overrun attacks. Not good at all.

The problem comes from the fact that the DEP OPTOUT mode should be called OPTOUT + BACKDOORS. There are currently 3 backdoors section strings that when found in the executable header disable the DEP for the process. These strings are .aspack (an executable packer used by Opera, IrfanView and XNView), .pcle (currently unknown) and .sforce (the VERY UNPOPULAR game/programs copy protection).

This July 24, 1998 Wired article about the USS YORKTOWN is a bit dated-- but was it a harbinger of the future? Note the reference to Linux near the end of the article. http://tinyurl.com/3gfl6

"The best thing Microsoft can do is to crack down on all those illegal copies of Office."

Despite what Steve Ballmer bellowed lately there is no "11" on the knob for WGA and OGA. Indeed it is not likely for anyone at Microsoft to even paint an "11" on the WGA/OGA knob. That's because they view copyright infringement as a way to lock out competitors. As Bill Gates said in 1998, about the Chinese being the largest copyright infringers: "As long as they are going to steal it, we want them to steal ours. They'll get sort of addicted, and then we'll somehow figure out how to collect sometime in the next decade." http://preview.tinyurl.com/2vmw4d

Nine years later, that statement still holds true. It will always be the reason why Windows will never have true whips-and-chains bondage type copy protection. From Microsoft's point of view, if some people go through the trouble of breaking WGA to install Windows, at least they're not installing Linux. The pain of breaking WGA/OGA will never exceed the (imagined) pain of going to alternatives.

Most people calling themselves 'Software Engineers' are not Engineers in the sense of the word as a profession. A true profession (lawyers, doctors, accountants, etc) have a certifying body, an exam that must be passed, a code of ethics that must be followed, and the ability to disbar people from performing the work.

As a software engineer, I would *love* to have such a body behind me. A real software engineering shop would then become more like an architectural firm - perhaps a few architects, but most people would be draftsmen, apprentices, etc. With jobs appropriate to their training and ability. I can't tell you how many projects I have seen where a mess was created by someone in over their head. And can you imagine the ability to say to management, "No, I cannot sign up for that ridiculous deadline you pulled out of the air - I could be disbarred for being that irresponsible".

To nitpick this guy on this point though is a cheap shot - the way this industry is today, that has no bearing on his real technical competency. He should have been prepared to defend it though - not sound so incompetent.

It was looked at years ago. From "1997-1998 Annual Report - EPRI HVAC&R Center - Thermal Storage Applications Research Center" (University of Wisconsin, Madison" From the report (somewhere at http://www.hvacr.wisc.edu/index.htm)

Electrical Demand Reduction in
Refrigerated Warehouses
Sponsors: Alliant Energy, University-
Industry Relations, and a
Wisconsin warehouse
Status:
Complete
Graduate student Joy Altwies, with
faculty advisors Reindl and Klein,
conducted a scoping study of
demand-shifting techniques as
applied to refrigerated warehouses.
Refrigerated warehouses tradition-
ally utilize large built-up industrial
systems to cool stored products.
The refrigeration systems operate
on demand throughout the daytime.
Their highest demand usually
occurs coincidentally with the
electric utilities' peak demand. The
investigation explored the potential
of utilizing stored product as
thermal mass to shift refrigeration
loads from on-peak to off-peak
periods. The techniques developed
were tested on a pilot scale at a low-
temperature warehouse. Consider-
able energy cost savings were
achievable with minimal facility
upgrades and no degradation of
stored products.

So this is not a particularly new idea. I ran across this while looking for something about the frozen storage in Chicago. A utility facility near the Sears Tower (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=sears+tow er&ie=UTF8&z=17&ll=41.8762,-87.635536&spn=0.003531 ,0.010182&t=k&om=1 http://tinyurl.com/2tge83)
described here: http://www.esdesign.com/projects_centralplant.htm
For those who won't follow the links:

  Exelon, District Cooling Plant #1, located in Chicago's Central Loop, is a 25,000 ton, chilled water generation plant consisting of three 5,000 ton electric motor driven centrifugal chillers and 5,500,000 pounds (66,000 ton-hour) of ice storage.

The gist of this is that they will use off peak power to make ice and then use the ice to provide cooling during peak times. Apparently a side benefit is the reduction in HVAC plants for the buildings which get their chilled water from the central plant.

20 years ago I worked in the largest steel mill in the US and they regularly scheduled production around peak demand to reduce costs, so demand management is hardly a new idea.

Take a look at this graph. There are two set of curves, one comparing the Mann hockey stick to curves showing sunspot activity. The other compares the Moberg 2005 curve to the same sunspot curves.

Here's what I find interesting:

- The Moberg curve (blue curve) follows the Antarctic curve (red) pretty closely, but it tracks almost exactly the same shape as the Greenland curve (green) when it sweeps up in a steep curve in the 20th century.

- The hockey stick curve (orange curve) doesn't do as good a job of tracking with the sunspot curves, in fact it looks like it averaged out the highs and lows (read "MWP" and "LIA") to come up with a relatively smooth shape, but even so, it's still a fair match to the sunspots, especially when it sweeps upward in the 20th Cent.

This can't be coincidental, can it? The obvious conclusion is that the global temps are heavily influenced by sunspot activity. If mankind's pouring of CO2 into the atmosphere was a major influence, the curves wouldn't track together so closely (i.e., the steep upswing would be much greater for the Moberg and Mann temp curves than the sunspots), but that's not the case.

FYI: The sunspot reconstructions I took from Usoskin's millennium-scale sunspot number reconstruction published in the November 2003 issue of Physical Review Letters. There's more current research that was just released, but I can't find the link I had to the PDF. The black GRL curve is from that more recent paper and you can see that it matches the others pretty well.

If the relationships I've drawn are correct, doesn't this strongly imply that the Sun is causing this warming trend?

If you don't think the sunspot curves match closely, it may help to see how poorly the various global temp curves match with each other. Take a look at this Wikipedia graphic combining the global temperature reconstructions from the major players. Looks pretty random to me. The only thing that's given them any credibility is that they all swoop up in the 20th century like they're heading for the moon. And so do the Greenland and GRL sunspot number curves.

Based on that, take another look at the SN curves and then at this one where the curves are overlaid on the Wikipedia graphic.

I'd say the SN curves track better with the global temp reconstructions than many of the wilder global temp curves do. Yet all those curves have been cited by "warmists" as being equally valid (because of that lovely swoop!).

Yup, it's the Sun causing the warming!

Why, yes. In fact, we're so stunningly quick to react that we started handing out specs under NDA in 2002. Although the NDA in use is full of legalese, the essence of the NDA is that any specifications distributed under the NDA can't be redistributed to someone who isn't subject to the NDA. There have been about eight parties over the past four years who have signed up (two were open source companies, if I remember correctly). The resulting open source code doesn't have to be obfuscated or anything lame like that. This program has been used to create and/or improve many ALSA drivers (sound card matrix -- http://tinyurl.com/3ov6w). In advance of being slammed for it -- yes, it's true that the X-Fi series of boards (based on the 10K2 chip) have not been put into this program yet. There are a lot of other cards on the list, however.

This is not always the case. I have been administering the NDA which Creative Labs uses for open source developers, and our NDA's main effect is that the developer is not allowed to redistribute the specifications we give out. There are no restrictions on the code being developed or comments within the code. For more information on the results of this program, see the ALSA sound card matrix (Creative view) at the following -- http://tinyurl.com/3ov6w.
