can store it as acid? then react it with some cheap metal(or something else that gives hydrogen when reacted with HCl)?
Isn't the *main* problem that all this shit gets powered by big oil/gas power-stations? Until countries (in this case the US) start going green (nuclear), how to best store the energy isn't that important.
Currently my pirated books include: The complete Asimov collection. I still buy most of the books i read (even if the kindle is awesome, I wouldn't take a kindle on a night out with me) A chemistry text book. I read this so rarely that i defiantly wouldn't buy them (hell i only downloaded them because a lecturer asked questions that were straight out of the text book).
I neither case have the authors lost anything (Infact in Asimov's case I've found a few books that i will probably buy that even my father, a big fan, had never heard of).
*looking at ktorrent it turns out I also have a chemical databook I'd forgotten about, I do wonder how it's copyrighted though? It's just tables of publicly available data.If you just removed the cover and re-uploaded it would their copyright still stand?
The pirate bay backup(tm) offers a free and easy 4 step method to backup most movies/tv shows. 1) create.torrent of all your movies 2) upload to TPBB(tm) trackers 3) seed 4) In case of catastrophic harddrive failure/house being nuked from oribt, re-download all your movies
Advantages of TPBB over conventional backup methods *Off-site - the backups are held of site in multiple unsecured locations *Distributed - these locations are distributed across multiple contents *Unlimited storage - You can even backup more content than your hard drive has space for *Content Filtering - TPBB will filter out boring content, ensuring just worthwhile movies are kept
**Please consult your lawyer before using TPBB as we are not responsible for any legal disputes in your jurisdiction.
I suppose it protects you from simple attacks (hopefully these would be stopped anyway) but a determined hacker wouldn't have much trouble, they could just cross compile from x86 without needing an Alpha box.
Apple have no monopolies atm but their locking of everything to itunes should be kept an eye on, if iphones get an effective monopoly on the smartphone market then DOJ should step in and force apple to allow other software to update & interact with unjailbroken iphones/ipod touches.
Sorry got my numbers wrong i mean 1,5,9,13 (from the diagram you linked to)
i've seen other images of the channel/spectrum use that puts the ends of the channels closer together especially in some of the Cisco wireless documentation.
They are all equally spaced, except for 14 which is further away from other channels
While 12,13,14 overlap with 11 they overlap dont overlap with lower channels. Given that most people use 1,6,11 using 10 and 12 is about the same but 13 will be much cleaner than 9 or 10. If your outside of america your best chance is to switch to 13 (which from your link is legal almost everywhere) as most people are in 1-11 and 13 overlaps the least with these channels.
I keep hearing that BSD is sooo much safer than linux, but isn't it all about the userspace, which is pretty much the same? For there to be much of a difference between linux & BSD you'd have to get to the point where you can make nasty system calls first, which provided your using SELINUX/apparmour/bsd equivalent is pretty hard.
I also fail to see how using a less thoroughly tested platform like alpha is better than using an x86 processor (specifically an x86 that has all the security enhancements)?
Despite my bias being that you are wrong, i am open to suggestions about how BSD is more secure and using alpha is a good idea?
With stuff like nsa contributed rootkey, you can stop any new processes running as root at meaning Linux can be customized to be much more secure than windows. Im a bit disappointed that they couldn't fully secure the system, between stuff like rootkey,selinux/apparmor,iptables and qmail it should be possible to make your basic setup 100% safe. I suppose it depends on what services needed to be up and running but with there must be plenty of tools to help prevent against injection attacks out there.
I got the impression from the older article that they use a good old C(adet)IDS, by simply putting a cadet with wireshark on duty (although wireshark itself has been known to have a few holes, which isnt too much of an issue aslong as you run wireshark with low privileges).
menubars take up valuable screen estate are rarely used and are full of too many options that are hard to find! There is a damn good reason everybody is moving away from them, OS X only ever shows one menubar at a time (and puts useful stuff there too) Windows is moving towards a button to toggle the menubar/show its options KDE has had ctrl+m for a long time
Toolbars often have too many confusing buttons too, if your editing a picture why do you want to be able to change its font type? As more functionality gets crammed into single applications, the number of buttons is only going to increase and the current method of adding toolbars simply doesn't scale well! Monitors are maxing out so you can't carry on adding buttons without taking away space that is meant to be given to the document.
I suggested something similar on ubuntuforums a couple of years back and got shot down instantly. But the idea behind flux/ribbon is actually really good. Hide buttons that you arn't using at the moment and give the document more space.
Menubar:Replace the main menubar with a menubutton, use this to show all menu bar buttons that aren't shown by menu buttons that are spread out at the appropriate ends of the main toolbar (help)
Buttons: you are likely only interacting with one thing at a time, if define usage cases narrowly enough to put all the relevant tools on a toolbar but widely enough that there are only a few settings, then you can save space (or give more space to just the relevant tools). *Some Actions can be done from any of the states Copy/undo stick this outside of a "container" *Bind keys&buttons (automatically based on selection?) to toggle whats in the "container" *Imo the container should be editing text/ editing pictures/layout(including columns & tables)/document(changing setting/print/save/open/new) and read (auto-hide the entire toolbar, giving 100% of screen estate to the document) |Menubutton(s)|permanent buttons|toggles:relevant buttons|help|
Customizations:Make the whole thing customizable (if the relevant buttons are to big to fit in the provided space that section should be the first to loose space (be it only showing the 1st few and adding an arrow or allowing scrolling though the relevant buttons)) and allow users to define thier own usage cases, with repeated buttons (looking at you kde3) and thier own triggers (some people want to go straight to the text editing menu as soon as they select text others dont). Make the whole look changeable (companies may want to replace the default menu button with a company logo? or make the whole thing bright pink?) Allow the different sections to be separated (so you could give the relevant buttons an entire tool bar underneath) Allow different toolbars to use different sized icons Providing too much customization is not a bad thing as long as most people can use the defaults. |Menubuttons|_____toggles_____|help| |permanent buttons|relevant buttons|
Themes:Provide an easy&safe way to save/share a theme. Provide sane defaults and get it out there, during the next release cycle look at which themes popular (you'll probably find there to be a few popular themes, classic, ribbon, office, geek, flashy) and ship them with the next release. There is no point in doing research designing what you thing is a good compromise for the work load that office/home users put their suite through, when you can just put a version out there and see what people do with it.
It would be better to leave the menu bar, but allow users to hide it by key combination (or autohide) to fit with how the OS behaves, so in kde ctl+m hides it, in vista/7 it has the ribon style button autohide stuff, on mac/xp it leaves it as it is.
The article is from the Uk, and most countries allow all 12,13(meaning 1,4,7,10,13 don't overlap) to be used
Most other European countries are almost as liberal as Japan, disallowing only channel 14, while North America and some Central and South American countries further disallow 12 and 13.
(Un)fortunatly most people don't know about 12/13 so if you can set it up (some drivers are a PITA) in europe, you'll get much less congestion.
Are most baby monitors mains operated or battery, the only problem i can envisage is when the power dies (i live in a PAYG flat) the baby monitor would stop working as the router would be down, ofc if this happens anyway its not a problem.
getting windows drivers outside of US frequencies can be a PITA, I live in the UK we have up to 13 available, while setting it up on the WAP and my laptop was easy, the drivers for a friends atheros didn't allow it (i found some website to get better atheros drivers, but it was on a weird tld, poland or something:S)
I'd guess the baby monitors leak into surrounding frequencies a fair bit aswel. I've always wondered if bluetooth/xbox360 controllers have a noticeable effect as they are also on 2.4 ?
:( i tried not to think about those parts of First contact. I think the cochrane stuff isn't too bad, so if you just edit out the queen* and replace it with a hive mind representative (that is interested in data purely from a technical perspective) and edit in another plot device take out the borg, it would be a good moive.
*like the fan edits of the matrix sequals that remove the zion stuff.
It sucks more when they reuse the damn stupid plot device in voyager. I could happily reject all TNG movies as not strickly cannon, but...nah actually i'd be cool with dropping voyager & enterprise too.
Dunno if your aware, or how good the current release is (not played it in a while) but there is an X-com inspired (the basics are the same but its more than a straight up clone) OSS game called UFO:AI

below acceptable, by whos standards?

i've seen other images of the channel/spectrum use that puts the ends of the channels closer together especially in some of the Cisco wireless documentation.
They are all equally spaced, except for 14 which is further away from other channels
13 channels each of width 22 MHz but spaced only 5 MHz apart, ... , to which Japan adds a 14th channel 12 MHz above channel 13.

AC must have meant Operating system projects. And trust me linus and theo are pretty fucking adamant!
The solution is obviously to have both, put all the fancy features in the UI, but allow old people to turn them of and have a classic view!

yup, shitloads of pointless apps, while there is in fact nothing (short of playin games) that you can't do on the competitors
Or if your running low on lasers, lip reading will do just fine.
