I'm not saying don't use fixer. I'm saying use the fixer and then recover the silver. You can even sell the silver and reduce your costs. Large operations do this all the time.
AA was all about previsuallization and control. He developed an exposure and development system call the Zone system to allow him to accurately produce the images he would previsualize.
Although, he would love the post processing ability of photoshop to manipulate faint details in a image, I think he would have been very unhappy about the limited dynamic range of digital.
I think he would have still used film for the contrast control not present in digital. Once digital cameras are developed with better contrast control he would begin to use them.
You don't know what you are talking about. The chemicals to process black and white film are generally fairly benign. The worst for the environment are the insoluable metals (e.g. silver) disolved in used fixer. However, you can run a silver recovery system.
Compare this to the chemicals used to produce the sensor in a digital camera. Just a tiny bit of hydroflouric acid will do more damage to the environment than the silver from all the film you'll probably ever use.
You don't have any idea what your talking about, do you?
X-Ray therapy would involve gamma particles (aka photons) not alpha particles. Alpha particles are ionized helium.
As for the whole, spin thing, you must be smoking crack.
What is sometimes done, is stereotactic radiotherapy. Multiple beams of gamma rays are aimed so that they all cross at a single point. Each beam by itself won't cause much damage, but at the point where they cross, the combined dose is enought to kill the tumor. You can also do this by spining a weak beam for an extended period of time. Maybe that is what you meant?
Think of it this way. we're much better a building human scale robots, computers and machinery than nano scale ones. therefore a human scale or bigger universal constructor should be many orders of magnitudes easier to make than a nano scale one. Whn wa sthe last time you saw plans for a fully automated, compuetr controlled, humanless factory capable of creating any product, including a copy of itself?
Sixteen years ago, I worked on a Navy project called CCAPS (Circuit Card Assembly and Processing System). This system was capable of automattically building any circuit cards in use by the military. It could be boxed up to fit into 4 full size semi-trailers and could be relocated and set up to start production on short notice. The system cost something around 100 million dollars to design and construct the prototype. Even sixteen years ago, we could have built a large scale self replicating automatted factory, it probably would have cost around 10 billion, but it was technically possible. We just need the political will and the money to do this.
Actually, they are. The parent company of AOL is AOL Time Warner (maybe they are just Time Warner now). Another one of the companies in TW is Warner Bros. Music, one of the funder of the RIAA.
Actually, the best way would be that both keys would be used. Their private key is used to insure that they actually sent the e-mail, and your public key would be used to prevent mass mailing. By have each e-mail having to be signed with a key for each recipient, you make it computationally expensive to send mass mailings. The one problem is how to deal with mailing lists.
I used to work at IBM with the custom supercomputers preceed Deep Blue. This was the EVE(Engineering Verification Engine) and EVE2, which were specialized logic simulation computers. Using this specialized hardware, we could realize a 2000x (the EVE2 was even faster, but was never fully deployed) increase or more in cycles simulated per second over what could be achieve using "normal" supercomputers. Specialization make a huge difference.
BTW, the switch designed for the EVE became the core of IBM supercomputers such as Deep Blue and Blue Gene.
What happened was an exec at IBM told the techies to get OS/400 runing on a PS/2. The techies misunderstood and thought he meant the PS2. The rest is history.
But you are assuming that the market will bare any price. This isn't something you need like food or water. If the price rises too much, people will not use netflix. The will go down to the local video store and rent individual dvds, the cost will be cheaper since netflix has raised their price too much.
This is about rights that are no longer protected or respected by our government.
No, this is about rights they never had. They came over here to work, and they had tourist visa. They should have gotten the correct type of visa. The US has in the past been lax about enforcement of this for short term assignments such as this, but Europe has not.
France is much worse. Have you ever tried to work in France. The country is so heavily unionized, and it is so difficult to get a temporary work visa. A company I used to work for had a plant in southern France. We occasionally would have to sent prototype electronics to this plant for work they were doing. Because they were prototypes, the company wanted to have an employee bring them over. US employee couldn't do this because of french visa issues. French employees had to fly to the US to pick up the part and bring it back.
The French are only getting what they have been dishing out for years. Serves them right.
One of the big problems was actually the West St. Central Office. This one CO served most of the financial community and BA re-organized thier network to run circuits which where supposed to be physically divergent through this one CO.
This CO was heavily damaged (mostly from flooding) and knocked out both primary and backup com circuits for a lot of finical institutions including NYSE. Thus even thought NYSE primary and backup datacenters were not damaged, the were isolated from the rest of the world and send out ticker data feeds.
I know this because I used to be a network engineer for SIAC (the company which provides network services to the NYSE).
SARS seems to kill about 3% of the population infected by it. If SARS spread around the world and and everyone became infected by it, you could expect approximately 180 million people to be killed by it.
Now, granted, that not the entire world will be infected but even if only 10% of the world became infected, you would expect around 18 million deaths.
Technically, this isn't correct. ISDN is a type of technology/service. Many different flavors exist, just like with DSL.
The two most common forms of ISDN interfaces are BRI(Basic Rate Interface) and PRI(Primary Rate Interface). ISDN circuits are composed of channels. Two types of channels exist D channels (data) and B channels (Bearer).
A BRI is composed of 2B and 1D (written 2B+D). For BRI, the B channels are 64 Kbps and the D channel is 16 Kbps. Often, the two B channels are bonded into a single channel for data communications resulting in a 128 Kbps data channel. The D channel is used for signaling but under rare circumstances it can be used for data also.
A PRI is composed of 23 B channels and one D channel (23B+D). The B channels are 64 Kbps and the D channel for PRI is also 64 Kbps. Again, multiple B channels can be bonded to form larger data pipes, but typically you wouldn't bond all 23B channels together, unless you were using the circuit for dial backup.
One nice feature of ISDN is that you can bring up channels to adjust the capacity as need requires and have multiple B channels connected to different end points.
It would seem to me that with millions of users on these P2P networks at any given time, a plea of "not guilty" on the grounds of selective prosecution would be a no-brainer.
Except for the fact that it is a civil suit and not prosecution. Private companies and individuals can do thing, such as selectively suit other entities, that the government cannot.
What is really scary to me is that, even though these bills were introduced by the ignorant, the fact that lots of legislators had the mind to introduce them in the first place is shocking.
The fact that these bills are being introduced in multiple states at the same time, indicates that it was probably crafted by a lobbyist.
The question you should be asking is who wants this legislation? Who hired the lobbyist?
And yes 25 years is long enough. Remember if you go 25 years back you get smack in the middle of Reagan's time.
Yeah, look at what Reagan did to education. Edmund can't subtract (2003 - 25 = 1978) or doesn't know that Reagan was elected in 1980. Reagan probably gutted both math education and history education and now W is trying to cover it up.
Well, I live on the east coast of the US, and after this winter, I say flatten the Rockies. Plus, it teach those europeans not to threaten to veto the US in the UN security council.
Typical electrolytic processes are around 60% efficient, from memory. This energy comes from the battery, which is about 92% efficient, which comes from the alternator, which is about 60% efficient, which is driven by the engine. So I get a loop efficiency of about 30%.
Why would you electrolyse water in the car? I don't think anyone is seriously proposing a system like this.
Almost every proposal I've seen, electrolysis of water to produce Hydrogen is performed a large plants with conventional means to produce electricity. Hydrogen would then be shipped to fueling stations, similar to the way gasoline is today. The production of Hydrogen could be done very efficently, the big problem is the distribution of it once it is produced.
So, to sum up, XML is doing what it was meant to do, no less. Unfortuneately, it's also probably doing a bit more as well, XSL anyone? Yeck, why not just have a stand XML scripting language, why the need for the language to be valid XML itself?
So that you can write XSL that operates on other XSL. This also the advantage to have schemas (XSD) also being valid XML. I've written a bunch of XSL which transforms XSL and XSD.
For example, lets say that you have several different files that have related layouts, you can write a master schema and stylesheets to transform this master schema into the schemas for the different files. Likewise, if you would like to purform similar transforms on these different files, you can write stylesheet to transform a master stylesheet into a stylesheet for each of the different files.
This solves the problem of keeping a set of related schemas and stylesheets in sync. You change the master stylesheet or schema and then transform the master into the various different versions.
is not that it uses cryptography. It basicly uses pgp, which you or any terrorist or human rights (HR) activist could download. But the software isn't about just sending encrypted messages, which is all terrorists would want.
The point is that in Martus, the crypto is integrated into a package that allows HR groups to a) send the data to a secure server, where there is b) a central database, and c) allow other, approved groups to view the data. This allows HR groups to get the info out from problematic areas to a place where the international community can see what's going on. Sure, terrorists could use the software to send messages, but what the heck do they need a database for? For HR groups, the problematic gov't could come cart off every computer and piece of paper in their office, and the data would still be secure and accessible. And as soon as they got access to another computer, they could start adding to it again.
Yes the pharmaceutical industry does make a good profit, but it's needed to finance the failures.
This is a falicy promoted by the drug industry. As long as the drug companies make a profit, they are covering all their investment in R&D. They don't need to make a large profit.
I think that drug companies should only be allow to make at most a fixed percentage of their R&D budget. For example, if drug companies could only make at most 15% of R&D, this would lead to companies spending more money on R&D and less on advertisement and promotion.
Do we really need Prilosec, Pepcid, Tagmet, Zantac, and Prevacid?
Do we really need Claritin, Clarinex, etc...?
These are drugs developed not to meet a medical need for which there is no other drug, but to allow companies to get medicine payed for by perscription drug plans when otherwise they would not be.
If profit was a fixed percentage of R&D investment, then if a company want to market a relatively cheap (in terms of R&D cost) drug like Clarinex which doesn't work any better or differently than Claritin, they would have to offset this by investing more money in research.

I also had an Pro 350 in college, and it did run standard OS. I ran RSM-11M and Unix on the box. The floppies were a real PITA though.
