They have these, they are called Locomotives. Check out Howstuffworks.com's article on locomotives. The big (okay HUGE) diesel engine goes between 300-900 rpm, all it does is power a generator, that runs an electric motor on each axle. Instant tourqe, lots of power, regenerative braking, and no big, heavy, nasty to work on transmission.. (the article talks about a transmission strong enough for a locomotive to get up to over a 100Mph would require a 32 speed transmission that would weigh twice as much as the locomotive)
Why can the train companies develop these huge, fuel efficient engines decades ago, but we can't seem to learn any lessons from these and apply them to cars.
I think in my town, Police officers are too costly. We could outsource the work to a private company, like the guys at the mall! That way, were saving money, and not stifling profit ^h competition. (fortunately for the neighbors, not everyone thinks that)
I think it should be up to the town. Here in my town, you have 1 choice if you do not want dial up connections that run at 19.8k (nasty old phone lines). yep, you can call the cable company, and pay them $35 (oops, just went up, make it $45 a month to get online.) In my community, there is alot of people that can't afford that. We have a Library with probably 15 pc's with internet access. Pushing a free wireless system would probably go over very, very well in this town. And if the majority of people want it, and there is no meaningful competition providing it already, why not? Thats how police, fire, ambulances, and even water and utility services started..
I see the problem... You got a Blue-Tooth hands free system, and your car didn't come with blue-tooth compatibility... don't feel sad, only a few cars come with this. Fortunately, after it comes out of the shop, you can get a "blue-tooth" kit for your car. This will work better with your "hands-free" system.
There are articles you can google for about Monsato Suing people that did use regular corn. Their neighbors bought the GM corn, and it cross polinated. And Monsato says that they have to pay because they own the patent on that type of corn. Even though the farmer never bought it.
We just did a VOIP implementation at work this last summer, and while we did not go with asterix, we did get a pretty good price (went with shoretel). However, the biggest single cost of all, was not the T1 installation, or the servers, or the software, it was replacing phones. Replacing 65 phones at our company at about $280 each was a pretty penny. Of course, with asterix you can find relatively cheap SIP phones, but they don't have all the fancy features, LCD's, that make it easy to use, POE, etc. So a hint for all you thinking of looking at VOIP, look at 3 very important things: 1. Yearly costs (maint, support, etc) 2. Upgrade costs. (how much is it to add each additional person. ie. phone+system capacity+licencing+anything else) 3. purchase costs ( for everything, T1 installation, installers, etc) Look in that order. Many are cheap up front, but their phones are proprietary and cost a fortune, or can't expand in the chassis.
Textbook CD's are horrible. I'm the admin at a small college, and we run win2k in our student labs. Even the brand new editions of textbooks use Macromedia Authorware crap (really old versions, and some new) that will not run until they copy 2 files into %system32%. Of course, thats a big no-no to let student users have rights to this. If I manually copy the files into the directory, it still doesn't work, the program doesn't look to see if their already there. Even non-authorware stuff doesn't work right. I have a CD out of the back of a textbook that (from the CD) starts a java-based web server on some port, and then uses IE to connect to the web server. Of course, it can't write those registry keys, and it wants me to turn off all security in IE to run. It uses Active-X, so no go with firefox... I could understand this crap on an older textbook, but of few of these came out just this term, and they still expect everyone to be running Win98. If you call up the publisher, their solution is always to add users to the administrators group... idiots..
No, its got a pretty interface. To be accpeted by the linux crowd, it needs to be "GREP" with a combination of C, perl, shell scrip, and awk. Oh, and better be availble in RPM, tar.gz, and.deb. And it surely better use MySQL as a backend, with apache as the gui (if your going to have one.) We unix geeks like to demonstrate our knowledge by always doing things the hard way!
Especially the speed at which fiber channel blows the department budgets! Seriously, I would think with good equipment, it should come resonably close in bandwidth, but iSCSI would probably have a bit more time in response with the protocol overhead. Of course there are benefits to just using 1 network and 1 stack of switches for everything.. (and dangers!)
Um, maybe they should not be classified as a phone system is because they are not a phone system. If I live in LA, but get a NY area code from Vonage, which states regulations apply, (or do both). What happens when I take my little vonage box to New Mexico to visit the family for a week, or on a long business trip? What if they use Vonage over a Dialup connection, do they get to pay double fees? The main reason for the laws that are there is becuase they telecoms agreed to them in order to get a government "licensed" monopoly. The goverment taxes the phone lines, (ie, the wires) not the calls. If they want, they should tax the internet connections, the cable modems, DSL lines, wireless hotsposts, whatever, but not the data.
Go over their head. go to the damn president if thats what it takes. A good way to get changes made is say (after an outbreak), well, your computer cuased our IT staff to put in 20 hours of overtime. Which one of your budget accounts should we bill that to?
My IT department has a rather drastic statement in our AUP. Since we purchase, fix, and maintain all the PC's on our campus, our rule is, We control it totally, or it doesn't go on the network. If they want to run as admin, or don't want to bother with antivirus, or just want to buy Gateway PC's (eww!) they aren't allowed on the network. We have a class that uses a Cable modem to play on the internet. I'd offer those "important profs" all the access they want, but bill their department for a 64k ISDN connection. Keep it off your network. Nothing sucks worse than some idiot getting a nasty worm and affecting hundreds of students who are (GASP!) trying to learn.. We bought and run the network, and if they don't like it, they can run their own..
Hmm, lets see, the destroy LA, we destroy their entire country, and the fallout destroys their continent? Wow, were worried about 1 bad guy firing 1 nuke at us, how many thousands does the US have? I know that can't be measured in libraries of congress, but how many times can we destroy the world with that number?
So, how can a piece of software that gets installed without permission on my machine, that sends out spam emails to everyone on earth be considered a worm/virus, but a piece of software I get installed without prompting, by visiting a fucking web page, that changes my hosts file, dns settings, proxy servers, and or nic drivers be considered adware?
When will Symantec, McAffee and the others start detecting and removing spyware. I've emailed them requesting that feature, and have never even gotten a response.
Honestly, at the school I work at, our public use library and labs have no problems except spyware. The 40 machines in our library average about a week before they are so bad that the systems have to be re-ghosted. Yes, I have netscape installed, and yes, its the default browser, but no, I can't remove IE, some services they need to use (other colleges in the area) have web pages that only work in IE. If freaking symantec would just treat adware as a virus, my god, I would love them.. and so would many others..
This could be the greatest thing since the invention of the transistor, but putting phrases in like: new general-purpose multi-paradigm is going to lead me to believe that it was developed by an Executive, a consultant, or, worst of all, a corporate motivational speaker!
Tell your PC to never turn off hard disks, never turn off fans. (might freeze if they stop, and not start again). Take the floppy out of the machine, and replace the hole in the front with a blank panel. It might be a good idea to do that with the CD/DVD drives as well. Make sure that the back of the case is all sealed up, (ie, no open holes for old PCI devices you no longer have). Lastly, Don't put anything over or close to it. Your going to need it to be able to suck in air, and evacuate the air with the fans. you do not want to be recycling the air (like you would if it was under a blanket) as it can increase the moisture of the air.
A large number of Highways are built with federal money, many of the dams in the irrigation district I live in were built with federal money, alot of medical insurance is done with federal money, grants to artists are done with federal money, aid to foreign countries are done with federal money.
So do we need the ID numbers of every citizen in Israel to make sure were spending our money wisely there? (and not doing something silly like just buying tanks and guns!) What about federal ID's to keep track of all these drivers that use the highways? Saying that they have the right because they give money is just plain silly. I mean, really, I give money (in the form of taxes) and I probably spend a much higher percentage of my money helping my university than the federal gov't does. Should I be allowed to snoop on other students private data?
Do you get drunk white trash from stand by me? Cause thats scarier than a treckie any day.. or what about latin american freedom fighters stalking you? Toy soldiers was my favoritte movie growing up? Honestly, I'm guessing that you probably have a huge number of people on the street come up and ask if you were Wesley Crusher, but do people come up and recognize you from other movies?

Don't you love your country son? Do you want our brave soldiers to die? What religon are you?
Don't worry about that last question, we know the answer. We'll be at your house about 10 minutes after you get home from work.
And seriously, you should be getting back to work. You owe it to your employer, and to help the economy, which prevents terrorism!
See you soon flewp.
