Well what kind of walls? Drywall? Brick? Craypaper?
The material the wall is made out of has a marked impact on the permeability of EM waves. And the frequency you select to get through the wall may pass straight through your intended target of viewing as well.
I like Linux like the next guy, but you don't really have to hack the registry to update Window's IP address. Of course, you usually have to reboot 9x. I never really understood why, but certain changes just never take otherwise. (Spoken as a network admin who has had to migrate network settings several times for about 200 machines.)
People on the bottom of the scale don't get a whole lot of breaks. Bitch about food stamps and public housing, but have you seriously done the math on living at $8/hour. Hint: for most families, day care costs more than the wife would make. Low cost housing is non-existent in most cities. To qualify for public housing requires spending a few months at a homeless shelter. Think I'm kidding? Call up and ask.
I have a few friends who do social work. There are 2 things that generally keep people on the bottom rung from progressing.
First: Education. We may be spending the money, but it isn't going into teachers, books, and maintaining a learning environment.
Second: The poor don't have access to banks. Most banks require a $100 balance for a checking account. To you and me $100 is, while not chump change, no big deal to come up with. Many poor have to go through check cashing places, which take a chunk of their already meager paycheck.
Finally: Child care. It costs too much for a working couple, let alone a woman on her own.
And don't give me the crap about all of them having cell phones. Phones are cheap, cheaper by far than having a real phone.
Spend a few months having to decide between eating, air conditioning, or telephone. The get back to me about the "deal" these people are getting.
Heck, any highway around Philly, if you try to drive straight you will eventually wind up in the shoulder. The left lane of 95 south of the Ben Franklin Bridge winds up the right lane after the merge with i-676, which after bridge street ends up BACK in the left lane.
The SureKill (i-76) has similar madness. If you stay right, you eventually run out of road. If you stay left you eventually run out of road. If you stay in the middle you wind up on the left, and then after US-1, you are back in the middle, and then on the Right.
Every one of those lane shifts requires complete attention. There are too many folks who either fail to negotiate it ahead of time and passive-agressively try to occupy your car's portion of the time-space continuum, or you get the moron in the canyanero who tries to blow by you at 120mph and shoehorn into the half an Austin-Mini between you and the car in front of your... at 60 mph.
Granted, but nowhere in Europe would you find a street where there are as many cars as residents. Between cost and culture they just don't drive as much. As such, one car per family is more than enough.
Besides, if they have a garage the car is generally in it, not filled with crap.
Um, 100 line workers have a different skillset than 100 R&D engineers. And different salary requirements. I'd say the line workers are a bit cheaper than engineers. That's like hiring bus drivers to design a new bus. (Unless your town happens to employ mechanical engineers to operate busses.)
Not over-simplified. Business managers do the same thing every day.
Oh, and all your cost savings from laying off the factory workers is going to be more or less eaten by paying for their unemployment, and then paying for their replacements to be trained when you go to ramp up for production again.
Management seems to be the problem everywhere. I seem stupid management decisions in Volunteer organizations. I see equally stupid decisions in Fortune 500 companies. The problem is that those in charge seek to have as little interaction with the folks who actually get things done, and/or the product to be manufactured as possible.
Heck, look at Nortel. They just announced that they are selling off their factories to focus on research. Not that they weren't making money. They weren't making enough money.
Can someone please explain this to me. If you are making a profit, you are making a profit. Money in hand. Mula. Black ink. Why a company can't simultaneously produce goods and research new ones is beyond me. Of course there are other companies that try to make everything from razor blades to condom testing equipment to cruise missile navigation systems. That seems like more of a stretch.
Face it, patents are screwy because certain large companies profit from that screwyness. It creates a world in which only the big dogs can play, because only the big dogs have the legal teams to field.
Reform Tort law. The patent system will fix itself.
My New Living Translation edition reads as follows:
Leviticus 12:20 - You are to consider detestable all swarming insects that walk upon the ground.
Psalms 93:1 The Lord is King! He is robed in majesty. Indeed the Lord is robed in majesty and armed with strength. The world is firmly established; it cannot be shaken.
Now please do yourself and your arguments a favor. If you are trying to point out a factual error in scripture a) quote the whole verse, and b) pick a modern translation. King James sucks, and any biblical scholar will tell you that.
Now with the whole verse you can see that Psalms 93:1 is talking about God, not the planet. If you read the remainder of the poem (the book of Psalms are basically a collection of poems), it talks about how God has total control of the world.
Question that if you like, but make your argument without distortion.
Now I am a kool-aid drinking, choir singing, regular church going kind of guy.
That said, anyone who has read through the Crucifixion story should not that none of the 12 deciples was actually present for Jesus' last words. (A few other of Jesus' followers were, but that's another story.)
Even more exagerated and irresponsible because SNMP has allows HVAC, lighting, and even network equipment to yat with central control for years.
Re-doing all this stuff with XML is just plain stupid. There IS an existing network standard. Sure, it's a crude and imperfect standard, but it's there and a lot of what you buy already talks it.
Next we'll be reading about how XML will revolutionize electronic music.

It's called a bus.
Would have been ok too, but they just unrapped yet another release of glibc...
I personally prefer parking with a friend. Especially parallel parking.
Arbitrary parallel parking? Man they use a beowulf cluster for everything.
It crashed less than windows.

I guess I'll have to throw away all this existing building control equipment that all interoperates, so I can jump on this XML bandwagon.
