The state of WI has something similar with fishing. When walking a stream, anything below the 'high-water' line is considered public land, even if it passes through private land.
The vast majority of land owners are well aware of this, but you occasionally find someone that puts a barbwire fence across a stream. I never bothered to cross those since there are many other places to go and it is not worth getting shot to prove a point, but I always reported those.
The next year those would be gone. I always assumed the DNR took care of the infraction, or the new owners learned about it somehow.
Regarding the dirt roads and public access... I now live out in the OR area, and there are VAST stretches of public land in OR and WA that are full of nothing but dirt roads.
I understand why you would remove Power User and Admin from standard users and do configuration to get their legacy software to work as a normal user.
May I ask why you would restrict your developers (usually a tech-savvy person) to a standard user? I can see removing Admin of course, but Power User also? It really seems like that would make writing software a nightmare for the developer. We have a "dummy login" that we switch to when we want to test that permissions have been programmed correctly.
I'm sorry but I think I was bending the numbers your way in a not-so-subtle form of sarcasm.
I asked why (once you have nuclear) you would continue to use coal, yet you answer with the answer that we use coal, therefore we will always use coal. This makes no sense, If we have nuclear, then coal falls by the wayside, therefore it is not reality in that situation, only currently. You seem to be stuck in a rut on that one.
On the 2nd point, (your link does not work, I looked it up myself), most of what I see there is political problems as I mentioned in my original reply. Laws are changable, and political agendas change. They closed a 1968 design due to political pressure and a rocket attack, not Physics problems. I'm not buying it.
I guess I'll put this in this thread since the others were nothing but attempts at "Funny" mod points:
Are not the Iridium (and I will assume the Russian satellite as well) very low-orbiting satellites? This would mean the orbits will decay rather rapidly making this really not that big of a deal over the long term?
Some of the pieces will have gained orbital momentum and go higher, but really most of it should be getting some atmospheric drag and decay quickly.
Concrete is the third biggest greenhouse gas emitter in the world and concrete is the largest input cost in terms of building a Nuclear plant.
Oh jeez, not this one again. Let's do some math. The output of a concrete plant in a given day (for an entire CITY) could easily build a nuclear plant.
You won't use all of the capacity in 1 single day, of course (making forms / letting lower layers set, etc etc), but the capacity will be at reasonably close. Some of our nuclear plants are pushing 50 years old.
A nuclear plant can power an entire CITY, not just a single concrete plant. Let's pretend the concrete plant consumes 20% of the city power (yea, right). My math works out this way:
Take 1 days total power out put of the nuclear plant and multiply by.20 (the concrete plant's consumption of total output) and divide that by 18,250 (the operational life time of the nuclear plant in days) and watch your calculator go into negative scientific notation. Calling a nuclear plant a greenhouse producer (considering what it would save) with that trade-off is laughable at best.
Enrichment is powered by coal plants
Huh? Is this mandated by law or something? Why would you not use the nuclear power (after scaling up)? This makes no sense.
Regarding the CFC's: I'll take your word for that, but it is a new one on me. If we would stop our stupid policy of not allowing breeder reactor technology, that would stop that issue, and also extend our supply of nuclear material out for centuries without mining/refining a gram more.
Not flaming you, but I've grown tired of the Concrete thing after doing the math. Cheers.
It's been almost 3 years since I have worked with Crystal Reports, but it was perfectly capable of being run in a browser. There were some pretty neat tricks CR could do in more complex reports that I would imagine would be difficult and expensive to try to re-create on your own (re-invent the wheel, so to speak).
I'm not familiar with Oracle Forms, but if it is something that the user would use all-day every-day I can see where it might be a benefit speed-wise to the end user.
All things can be abused and used in inappropriate ways.
It's pretty easy to see what is going on. Basic is kinda stupid, it who would want that?
The pricing (Retail) difference between Business and Ultimate is only $20.00, who would not just get Ultimate?
I built a new computer recently and just got the OEM (no tech support) version of Premium for $100.00 so the prices on the Microsoft site can be adjusted from the retail.
The Basic and Business versions are a little on the silly side.
It should be Home and Ultimate(AKA XP Pro) like before. Good Enough.
A large proportion of the desktop installed O/S's installed out there, where browsers count, are from Microsoft (like it or not), so yes this IS news for nerds.
This is a perfect example of me and Trailer Park Boys http://www.trailerparkboys.com/. I now have all of the DVDs, but what got me hooked was having a Canadian online friend introduce me to the show and link to some downloads (This was before YouTube).
I'd rather have the DVDs as the download files were kinda badly encoded 7 or so years ago. Corner Gas is another one I plan on getting the DVDs for.
No kidding. I was an avid reader when I was 8, 9 and 10 back in the mid-late 70's when MAD still had the original team of writers. I always kind of thought of it as a kid's magazine I guess. I thought it was really well written back then. I bought a copy a few years back and a lot of it seemed re-cycled and really bland. Then again, maybe I just got older / changed:P
I had an old ink-jet way back in the day I bought used for $50.00 (I do NOT remember the make / model) that had an ink supply in a plastic cartridge that looked eerily like a blood bag.
It even had a tractor drive for continuous sheet paper. It printed pretty awfully but it was good enough for machine shop work-folder instructions. We used it for years, and it never actually ran out of ink. IIRC the tractor motor died eventually.
That's cool. The shrink wrap stuff is a little pricey, but it is really very nice if you happen to have 1 or 2 windows where you enjoy/need the view (it is almost unnoticable when done). Put the plastic sheets on windows you don't care about and save the cash.
IIRC Ricardo was born of Spanish parents and only grew up in Mexico. I'm not debating that he was proud of his heritage. But in all honesty that would make him a Spaniard, not a Mexican.
If you have 1 'hot' room you could always adjust your vents. Close the other ones 10% and you'll get extra air flow in the hot room. It is possible that yours are not adjustable (I don't know how houses are built in CA), but every place I have lived in had something like that. This only works to a certain degree and if taken too far can result in too much back-pressure on the whole system though.
I lived/rented in an older house than that (Wisconsin) with original windows. You should try the plastic film on the windows that you shrink with a hair dryer. That stuff really does work quite well, at least it did for me.
I've seen abuse to be sure, but I once put together a spread sheet for a data entry person... it was to divide out paint and the line time to multiple jobs (ie 1 color would run on 3-4 jobs before a switch over)
She would enter total gallons, total time, then enter the square feet for each job. The spreadsheet did the calculations for how to allocate the paint and time to the various jobs. Those figures were then entered into the ERP software. I could not have imagined writing a discrete program for something like that.
Nuclear waste was never a physics problem, it was purely a political problem. I go fishing/camping for no other reason than "nature is my communion with my personal god", but you are a bit off in regards to nuclear waste.
I would not be suprised to see the VH project canceled. Who knows what will happen after that. We seem to agree that already deployed aircraft are more that suitable for the task at hand. 11.7 billion for the VH program... and only 21 deliverables... yikes.
I might be unusual, but I do know some rather mundane people (mundane = common folk like myself), and Yes, they would actually know that the President is flying a 747. "Queen of the Sky" and all that... Sorry, but I must disagree with you on this one.
Sweet, did not know about those. Seems like we agree though, an already developed military chopper would be a good choice to cart the President around.:)
None of those have even been delivered. They are way over budget and in serious trouble. They are still using the old SeaKings based on designs from the 60's. (Nothing to be proud of, but still true as of today). The AW project is under serious consideration of being canceled, as each one of them will end up costing more than a new 747!

I can accept that. I've only worked in smaller places, so it is a bit different for me. :)

At least the Viking mission was sterilized before launching (PDF warning) http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/fact_sheets/viking.pdf/.
I would imagine that the practice has continued since then.
The Russians only attempted a few landings, and IIRC those were also sterilized by international agreement. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_5/
