In all fairness, it should be pointed out that gas power kills fewer people per kilowatt than nuclear. If only we could turn all of that CO2 into building materials, food, livestock...oh yeah, I forgot.
Nuclear is also second cheapest. The differences in cost and safety are slight, but gas is still the winner. Coal, Al Gore are you listening? is a big looser.
I'll send you a box of alpha particles overnight! Really! They might get a little less energetic in transit, so that's why I'll use a business overnight visual package class insulated box shipment. Ionization goes away fast, as does most of the temperature, so don't expect too much kick out of this shipment. I expect they will get to you with an equivalent temperature of 90F, much like the back of the truck. Only open the box by hand or you will break the special latex interior seal and release all of those deadly alphas! You will know that you are dead if you hear a sudden pop.
Send me One Hundred Billion Dollars for each microgram you desire, plus 19.99 to cover the cost of shipping.
There are still plenty of physical checks involved with that 100 ton shipment of fuel. I doubt the regular physical acution looked like selling sheep. Let's watch:
"Ohhh, look at this beauty, folks!", the auctioneer shouted as the fully loaded fuel assembly floated across the stage. "She's got Seimen's own special burnable poison and higher enrichment, so she'll burn beter and longer than most. They claim 18 months between refuels. Bidding starts at 1 million dollars!"
"Mr. Shadow bids, it's nice to see that face of your's Mr. Shadow!"
"Shakarami of qari bids one up.."
Don't think so. It's more likely that the Wazzo Regulated truck line is going to drive the same route it usually does between the Nether Regions fuel plant and the 2km out there power plant.
Come see the amazing topless fry cook! She just got back from getting a nasty sunburn on the beach, and is ready to shake 'em up over frech fries and chicken patties. Woooooo Hooooo! All the people who could care less are so pleased to watch those things sag!
There are plenty of good reasons only a minority of people contribute. First is a techincal barrier. Even a cable modem can make a poor server, and most service providers forbid such things. The second reason is equaly apparent, not everyone has the tallent to make useful or competitive contributions. When you consider the fact that most contributions people do have to make are not things that need to be hidden, it's miraculous that 30% of G users have shared files.
Due to considerations 1 through 3, I have the content I wish to share with the world stuck on commercial servers. Barf! Who wants to look at my half done non peer reviewed gamma ray composite curing research?
That does not keep me from wanting to see what other people might publish anonymously. There I can find more truth about how people feel than in dozens of authored sites. This realy is essential to free speech.
Linux is absolutely not ready for the desktop. I have problems running it now at work, administering only 9 boxes.
Don't worry, you will get better:)
Be happy for what you have. I can assure you that things are not getting any better in an all MS shop. Oh wow! My NT box made 4 days of uptime! WEEEEEEE! BSOD.
Life is valued more than property in Louisiana. The penalty for trespass, theft, vandalism, arson, etc, is not death, and it is not delivered by a machine.
Such things are not true in all states. I once read about a store owner in Florida that got away with killing an intruder with 120V house current energized screens inside the store.
Automated weapons are a bad idea. Think about lightening strikes, and other system failures. Basic gun safety dictates pointing the thing away from people at all times. Duh! That thing should be dismantaled.
OK, the article mentions using this thing to teach Tiger Woods to be a surgeon. Now that is funny.
Who says that stuff is productive? Sheesh! It's got to have the worst interface of all the competitors and had to be supported by OS monopoly. I've seen more time wasted trying to learn each revision's secret handshakes than it could ever save. BARF! It's frustrating.
Planning is on course, captian! Don't download GNOME, we'll sell you the trash you're used to! More FUD as usual.
It would be nice for you to write both french and english, to include some people that might have trouble with english.
Is there a french slashdot? Quebec is far enough north, with long enough winters, to be as productive as Finland. If you want to read french, write it.
I've got to agree with the other post about french and english being so close, while pointing out a few differences.
French, besides having considerable direct influence on English, also uses rigid word order to convey meaning. The influence on programing should be apparent, and has been pointed out by several other posters. Don't ask me about Arabic.
The differences seem to come from attitude. The French language has several embeded circumloquations, their subjunctive seems vauger than the English, and most sounds are softer. Should, would, and could, have very specific meanings that can be lost in a single subjuntive without help from an imperative. It sounds more polite, not that french people can't be rude or direct! French Punk just never made it on the world stage and I'd blame soft sounding words. "mange moi" just does not have the same impact as "eat me."
What do you think, Quebecqois, and why don't you write in french here?
The two industry leaders cannot be mentioned by name because their restrictive licensing greements prohibit anyone who buys their closed source products from publishing their company names in benchmark testing results without the companies' prior approval.
Mama says that you've been had if you can't talk about it. People like that just are not your friends.
486 at 66MHz with 24MB RAM, 500MB hard disk, and 2
3com509Bs, produces no observable latency. It also produces the at home banned personal network so you can share all of your resources.
Monte Carlo routines use psuedo random numbers. The more of these you can generate per time, the better your results get. Hell, I've used windoze boxes to do this. As long as I give each machine the right seed, they don't need to know what the others are doing. The results can be put together later.
These are commonly used in particle transport routines where directions, interactions, and birthplace information can be simulated by generating a random number and then comparing that number to a known statistical behavior. It's powerful and suprisingly easy thing to program. It can be slow, but brute force computing is making all sorts of problems practical. MCNP is a very mature code that uses this.
They can also be used to solve multidimensional integrals. Here they rule, and time savings over other methods are very good.
For all the money he spent on that heater, you would think that he'd have gotten a better box than lead soldered brass. He'll act funny if he drinks enough of it.
You can't hide one of those G4 cubes configured a sniffer as easily as you can hide the 486. Not that I'd want to do that, but someone might. How about a survailance camera that stores constantly stores it's own feed?
A more productive use might be as a device logger in a plant. It would be easy to make this baby shock, fire, steam, and water proof. The more daring might even use it to control things.
Immagine buying a refidgerator that automatically detects the microwave. They waltz across the kitchen and find the older traditional range, which decides to cut in. Meanwhile in the bathroom, the toilet running wince cryes it's lonely eyes out. Later someone cracks the toilet and floods the house, oh my!
Companionship is a personal problem. It should be easy to find at a conference. By the way, my wife is pretty!
Culture is the common body of knowledge people pass fron generation to generation. This includes mores, morals, laws, and general tastes. With the exception of taste in food, all of these things depend on language and immages being layered in the minds of the young. Language is most powerful when in invokes shared immages, though imagination often serves here where other means have failed to plant the proper vision. Without a concrete reference as a foundation, messages make no sense. Once the message has been planted, it can be generalized, abstracted and perhaps manipulated and expanded, but the plant initially depends on an image.
How will you collect a fee if your system is distibuted and anonymous?
How will developers be able to use sections of code that is distributed in binary form? It's much easier for comercial developers to get GPL'ed source code from the author or the many distributors of such code. No one wants to hide anything.
You and your friends would do better selling your expertise or a package instead of binaries. You would have few takers for them because the free version would always be better than yours. If you do manage to make any money with your code, the original author will take their fair piece of it from you after proving that you used it. In the end, you would probably agree that you should publish your code too.
I like the radio analogy of the other responder. Cassette tape recorder had to go through the same kind of crap and are still taxed by the RIAA.
Where do you draw the line? The site was shut down because the judge thought that a majority of Napster traffic was of steping on the toes of the 5 big recording lables, and that was the intent of the site. Majority is a sloppy term, and intent is difficult to prove. Can this be used to shut down ISPs? After all, they let you set up an ftp server and the majority of stuff that I hear about being passed around on such things is not original content. Do I shut down search engines that catalog ftp sites? Yeah, bullshit, this line of logic eventually becomes a prohibition on publishing except by authorized publishing houses.
This is bad for musicians that don't want to fall under the RIAA rackettering system. It's also futile.

Some greedy jerk will turn this into a push system one day. No, thanks.
I hope your car is about as big as a submarine.

See what you get when everybody contributes?

GO GO GO!
We know how to fix that! We shall not let them stifle innovation.

EULA ammounts to prior restraint. It aint a liscence, it's a sale. I can tell you where I put the average shrink wrap agreement with this cheer:
Around the bowl and down the hole, go MS go!
You will get IE with that Mac, which will lead to all the stupid sex and violence you could ever want. Ha Ha, MS got you again.
