The 3d Realms website does not seem to timestamp its news posts - as I've not looked at it for about 6 years, there's no way of knowing how long that post has been up there. Could have been a few hours, a few weeks, 6 months, a year, or more.

Check for yourself. The wording has changed on that page over the years, but the pre-ordering sentiment has been there since at least mid-2000.

Instead of choosing between pissing off the Chinese or pissing off the Taiwanese you piss both the Chinese and Taiwanese off at the same time. So instead of saying it is or isn't a province of China, you just call it West Hawaii.

Actually, the problem with carbon dating is not with nuclear theory. Some fungi and bacteria can produce C14, and can throw off the calculations of decay. This link to the talk.origins newsgroup talks about it: http://tinyurl.com/bwwfk/

From TFA, the author says:

"Users of the new EasyShare-One, priced at $599, can send photos directly through a Wi-Fi transmitter at home or work, *or* pay $4.99 per month to connect the camera with any of T-Mobile USA's 6,000 hot spots"

The camera connects using 802.11b . . . Kodak says: "The Kodak EasyShare-One zoom digital camera works on the popular 802.11b wireless standard. It is compatible with any wireless network that supports this standard." http://tinyurl.com/cvoet

If you have your own 802.11 router (at home, or at work, or any other router you have access to) then you can connect for free. If you are out in public and the only hot spot available is a T-Mobile hot spot, well then yeah .. . you'd have to pay.

It's just plain old 802.11b . . . .

The Economist? LOL.

Try such pesky venues like Scoop or the Guardian or pravda or AlJazeera. Venues which can and do publish stories which the U.S. government would rather you not see, like the election fiasco or the pictures of atrocities we commit or the fact that the war on Iraq started well before Congressional authorization.

Meanwhile, here in America they've got our whore media turning their backs as the caskets are unloaded at Dover and in Iraq our military appears to be actively hunting down foreign journalists. It's clear that they seek to control all access to information, the only question is, to what lengths will they go to do that?

The reason the U.S. is refusing to release control is obvious. Too many Americans are bypassing whores like The New York Times and CNN and getting their news from overseas. Break up the Internet and that stops.

I hope the EU takes this into consideration. Yes, the present administration is wretched beyond belief, but this is the wrong way to retaliate.

You want to know what some Rainbow family are doing? Read the reality. Sorry for the long post but I thought this explained all best. Greetings from the New Waveland Cafe! New Waveland Cafe Reconstructed after Rita Announcing the Tornado Lounge Please Call Before Coming Here and Don't Bring Children FOR WIDE DISTRIBUTION Things are running smoothly again here in Waveland after everyone EXCEPT the New Waveland Cafe bugged out for Hurricane Rita. Many folks still living in tents and tarps on the toxic ground were unable to flee and were grateful for three hot meals a day in spite of high winds, lots of rain, and scattered tornados. We had to take down our large tents, but the structure we served under for those five days--an army tent donated by China--remains standing as the Tornado Lounge, serving ice cold smoothies all day long. Inaugurated on Monday night after re-setting the kitchen and Cafe under our large tents, the Tornado Lounge serves as a mellow place for playing music, reading, socializing, and forgetting the day's traumas in this troubled corner of the world. If you plan to volunteer at the New Waveland Cafe, please call me at (828) 280-6338. We now have a procedure in place for plugging in an appropriate number of volunteers for what we are doing here. We match your dates and skills with our needs. Once again, please note: IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN, DO NOT BRING THEM HERE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES WHATSOEVER. WE WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY VOLUNTEERS WHO BRING CHILDREN. This is a disaster zone. The level of toxicity in the area coupled with extreme and unrelenting heat (index at 105-115 every day) make this a graveyard for infants, small children, sick people, and folks in not the best shape. Only come here if you are in excellent health and physical condition. A volunteer with our partner, BCOC, has been hospitalized with a heart attack due to heat stroke. Others drop every day from heat exhaustion. We have no need whatsoever for volunteers who cannot put in a full day's work in extreme heat. Furthermore, we all worry about the effects of long-term exposure to this environment. WE WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO SUBJECT YOUR CHILDREN TO THESE CONDITIONS ON OUR BEHALF. On a side note, you should leave your dog at home, too. I regret bringing Calvin, a tough old road dog who is having an extremely hard time here even with a somewhat air conditioned bus to live in. Other dogs who have arrived are not happy either. There's too much toxic mischief for them to get into here, no water in which to cool off, no non-toxic place to lay on the ground--in short, not a good place for dogs. Hancock County EOC has asked the New Waveland Cafe to remain open until Thanksgiving. Aaron, Clovis, Stone, and I have accepted and plan to remain. Others will probably also stay or come and go. Again, please call before showing up. I'm going to attempt to post the minutes from our 8pm Meeting every day. Like everything I do in communications, it depends on how much time I have available and how well the internet is working.

My first concern is that once given away, a very poor family might look towards selling the laptop on the black market for food, clothing, etc. How much expense would be added if biometrics were incorporated into the design so that once a laptop is "mated" to a child, only that child can operate it, thus rendering its worth on the black market so much less?

So you end up manufacturing fewer laptops, but maybe that means more of them end up being used as intended?

(and the hand crank is too cool to leave to the kiddies. I am forced to wonder whether so many of us would still be strangers to the ladies if required to produce our own power. Two hours coding, three hours debugging, and four hours pedaling the stationary bicycle that powers our boxes to allow for the coding and debugging would reduce global warming, save on healthcare costs AND yield superior breeding material, all at the same time!)

I know this is dreadfully OFF TOPIC but I think it's something many of you are highly interested in. I've come up today with a new design for a PC case that DOES NOT NEED COOLING FANS. It gets better than that too. I'm not in a position to apply for a Design Patent and all so what I want to do is put it all here on SlashDot, for all+any of you who wants to can try and make it happen. Any PC case manufacturer too. I want to make a suggestion first tho that, since a fanless case saves money on the fans and saves some space, saves some on the motherboards not needing fan plugs, that we all make a gentleman's agreement to take some of the Savings -and some of the increased Sales- to contribute toward something. Maybe even start a SlashDot engineering scholarship or something. Here I go > The "Design": This idea is for a two-motherboard case having a vertical divider; opposed motherboards on the left, hard drives, burners, power supplies for each over to the right of the divider. All of the hotter stuff goes on the right, with the hdd's closer to the bottom, then the burners, then the power supplies at the top. At the bottom of the divider there's a space of an inch or 2. The power supplies are set so an upward air flow will go thru the PS cases. When the PS are fired up, they begin to heat first, followed by the drives. As the heat begins to rise toward an opening for heat exhaust, air is pulled downward on the motherboard side, cooling all the chips silently, under & through the divider space, upward past the hdd's, burners, power supplies, and exiting from the top or side of the top. And THAT'S IT. Now for the REST > I believe all this could be placed on hinged pieces so that the entire PC could be folded up - ORIGAMI-STYLE - so that the sides, top, & divider would form the PC case. So whenever someone needs to change a cpu, swap out a drive, whatever, all the technician need do is UNFOLD THE UNIT. Everybody remember the old magician's trick of the girl assistant being locked in the case and the divider slid down "through her"? That's the final piece of the puzzle! The divider could be the piece that slides down into the Unit, locking the Unit together. To work on it, you would just pull the divider out & unfold the Unit. As far as I'm concerned, the SlashDot website can supervise this construction if they want, but if they don't care to do that then I hope anyone who wants to will donate a dollar or 2 to Charity, Red Cross, or the Cancer Society Research, for each Unit you sell. Just, when you design the case be sure to leave a space down toward the bottom, possibly a 4.5-6 inch cube, for either an APC Mini Back-Up or a little device I'm working on that generates an electrical current to run the Unit. I'm planning to release the theory soon in Roanoke Virginia, possibly at the Roanoke Civic Center, but nothing is finalized yet. It's for a regenerative power supply and frees all devices from wall plug electric. Not just computers; refrigerators, hot water heaters, & the entire home, to be free of the Main Power Grid. I hope my previous postings on SlashDot, my Design for a fanless PC that folds & unfolds in a minute or less, will serve as my introduction that I do have what I say... a home-size generator that does not use fuel of any kind. I plan to release it for free also because it will raise everyone's Quality of Life. Being freed from a monthly electric bill, we'll have plenty of money to buy stuff, cars, homes, and these new PC cases. I think it will do for America what plastics did for Japan... {{ Main webpages: 99% newpath4 links on this page > http://tinyurl.com/8p7r3 & Multiple Search Engine Access > http://tinyurl.com/4txmk }}

You're right. You don't necessarily need heat shields. Not if you have enough fuel to actively decelerate, instead of to dissipate the velocity in the atmosphere. :-)

There was a very interesting thread on sci.space.science a few months ago. Try this (a tinyurl link to a deja thread), for example, for some interesting information about why it is necessary to have your heat shields with you when you attempt a re-entry (provided you don't have fuel to decelerate, which - unfortunately - is still waaay off limits for our current propulsion technology).

You didn't know.

A bit arguing...

Yes, Russians lost a lot of man...but most unrevealed was of the type "accident during assembly at launch platform", in which workers, etc. died. If astronaut died, it was quite public... (and we started this discussion from safety of the Soyuz after all, ergo: during mission ;P )

And do you really think that Soviets haven't improved also? You know, serious Soyuz accidents were only at the begginning of the programme, and practically the same serious malfunction never happened 2 times...

And I don't understand the point about Saturn vs. N1 (not to mention some facts are wrong). NASA simply made better decisions when it comes to the realities of race (any race): they took simpler approach. Yes, N1 was a total failure, but the Russians made the decision of taking some very risky design path. Overall the idea behind the engines of N1 wasn't bad in any more sense than Space Shuttle is bad - its quite marvelous actually when properly implemented...but this needs more time, resources (for more tests/test launches) and money. Russians didn't havy any of it. And this resulted in problems. And BTW, your descriptions of problems is BS, it was vibrations/lack of understanding how engines would behave en masse that caused the problems (alone they are pretty good - so good actually that they bere bough a decade ago by some american and japanese companies for use in launch vehicles)

You know, you've lost me with the comment about russian shuttle.
Just look at the top raw of photos and say no more... http://tinyurl.com/7hz93
I'll just add...the Russian didn't have to use some cargo plane for test glides, their test vehicle had jet engines and was able to fly by itself. It took longt to build because it started much later (when it was clear the NASA is going for the Shuttle - so it was mostly political decision) and again - lack of funds.
"Theirs just took to long to build and costed to much and in the end they were able to do much more for less with the old soyuz capsules."
Uhmm...and why exactly NASA is scrapping Shuttle and going capsule way? From the precizely the same reasons! In that case (contrary to Saturn vs. N1), the NASA made a bad decision, and Russians unfortuantelly followed, but pulled out rather quickly (but anyway, Russian design was simpler/better this time; more capable and overall the types of failures that happened to Challenger/Columbia were impossible in Buran). Ironically they unfortuantelly didn't have the money to not pull the plug completelly and Energia died; if that wasn't the case they'd have the system NASA is building now (safe and robust crew vehicle/rocket + super-heavy cargo booster) 2 decades earlier than NASA'll have...

In the end, it's not really about NASA vs. comunism, but NASA vs. Russian Space Agency, and that's it. Sometimes one makes bad decision, sometimes the other.
And politics doesn't help. Quite the contrary. If you'll reserach into early stages of Shuttle programme, you'll see that political considerations made it the POS it is...
OTOH...Russian Space Agency had the "luxury" of having to fallow only one political agenda...but this agenda also sometimes had too much ego, and not enough resources to support it.

Check out these deviants...

We can't rely on the 100 year old photographs any more either, colour or b&w. In fact, we can't rely on photos well into the 1970s because of the same problem.

Companies like Corbis are spending millions trying to digitize old photos before they rot. The pictures are being kept in cold storage to slow the aging process.

Managed to find the link to an interesting article from the Washington Post on the problem from a couple of years ago: http://tinyurl.com/d8cvm It's long but a good read.

Eroding away liberties and personal rights of privacy and general freedoms will never solve terrorism, it wont even make a dent in it.

You are spot on - except for one thing: the erosion of our civil liberties will only cause more terrorism. Not from afar, but those of us at home who feel like rats in a cage.

First off, it's hard to see *any* species as being in anything other than a state of evolution. To suggest otherwise implies a superficial understand of what evolution is about.

That being said, it's conceivable that we're at the point where the human brain is the exception to the above. After all, what has been the driving force behind the evolution of the brain? Big-brained people surviving and succeeding in reproduction where little-brained people fail.

This isn't really happening anymore. Yes, smart people still trump over stupid people in most aspects of life, but stupid people still reproduce. Civilization has removed the engine through which drives the evolution of the species.

I can't believe how often highly educated people will pontificate on this subject, and get it wrong. Yes, usually the media is to blame -- science reporting is notoriously bad -- but that does not appear to be the case here.

Ironic that they should be so wrong on this of all subjects.

Gendlin, the CEO of AtomChip and Dr. NakaMats founded the Gendlin-NakaMats Institute. NakaMats is either a dreamer, a genius inventor or just simply nuts - his website. Here is an interview and an article about that guy.

NakaMats admits, that he's getting royalties from IBM for every single floppy drive sold.

It all sounds very strange to me, but on the other hand... who knows.

The CEO has a patent on his invention. Hm... And here is a somehow interesting post about the guy and his company. As a teenager he invented the floppy disk and leased it to IBM.???

Hey, don't be that sceptical. Check out an earlier version of the website and you'll see that there are actually a lot of hiqh quality products.

Rock on, Atomchip!
