    You dont understand the need to look trendy. These are only being sold to up and coming executives that want to look like they are technology hip to senior execs... Sadly it makes them a laughingstock of the IT department.

    That they cause some serious horrible problems and make them revert to NO trading software allowed all trades must go through a person on the floor. Honestly trading is getting too fast and far to volatile the human bottleneck is needed to smooth things out.

    I suggest reading the article, as they are not using high mass dirt but a low mass artificial growth medium that acts like dirt.

    This is linux, it is trivial to create a random number generator hardware device and have it a part of /dev/random anyone relying on any commodity hardware is NOT truly interested in security.

    I really like the "random number CD" that has a pregenerated 600mb of numbers, kind of like a 1 time pad. actually that would be brilliant, mail your reciever the CD and use it as the 1 time pad source for all your communication.

    They are looking to reduce maintenance and power use. Aero and hydroponics requires constant power. Dirt medium does not.

  12. Re:Vertical or Urban Farms? on Space Food From Space Farms · · Score: 2

    Why? Earth hydroponics already works fantastically. We already have the technology to do it here significantly more efficient. I can grown in a 20X60 greenhouse enough food to easily feed 20 people. The problem is that it's more expensive and takes more labor. 14 foot tall tomato plants take a lot of care, you havet orun pumps 24/7, etc...

    It's a lot cheaper to just spread seed over a giant farm ad hope for the best.

    Yes you do. I was born and raised in the USA and most everyone I meet approves of everything that they do to fight the boogymen.
    It is RARE to find someone that actually wants the govt to follow the constitution.

    This actually is the right path. Give all the information to a third party that has the ability to publish all your finding and information that will get it out.

    But honestly, just get it out as soon as you get it and do it quietly then erase all evidence that you ever had it. And the key is to STFU about it. Get the info, release it to a group without anything tying back to you, destroy all evidence in your possession, and keep your mouth shut about it for the rest of your life.

    Secret? They do that openly. It is common knowledge they can jail you forever without trial or even telling you of what crime you may have violated. And the American public love it because it's "fighting terrorisim".

    Secret means it's hidden, All of this is out in the open and publicly accepted.
