Just about 40 yrs ago scientists were saying we might soon have a mini ice-age! So what changed thier minds? Funds from liberal environmental groups.
Sorry, but I gotta call bullshit on this one. Forty years ago scientists measured global cooling effects and they were right. It was related to global dimming - burn a lot of high sulfur fuels and you end up with reflective sulfate aerosols in the stratosphere. We've cleaned up our fuels and this effect has been reduced.
We currently get about 4.0 watts/M^2 of 'forcing' due to carbon dioxide, methane, and a cocktail of other stuff I can't spell without Googling for it. We lose about 2.0 watts/M^2 due to sulfate and other aerosols reflecting sunlight.
Carbon neutral fuels are a great idea, but if I recall correctly a gallon of ethanol has 50% of the energy of a gallon of gasoline. $2.70 gasoline is still a better deal than $1.50 ethanol.
This is only my recollection - I'd like to hear it confirmed by a chemist who can calculate the difference in energy released by burning ethanol and 2-2-4 trimethyl pentane.
There are many, many, many flakes who are all into NLP. The foundations are found in things like transformational grammar, which is non-flaky and within easy intellectual reach of your average software engineer. The perceptual stuff is also easily understood and applied to daily life - no voodoo too it, just subtlety and observation skills.
I used the Curing Phobias stuff to put an end to the dreams and other stuff and it worked double quick...
I can see blocking formation of memories for rape victims and the like, but giving it to veterans? After they get home? That makes no sense - the memories would be imprinted. Giving it when the trauma occurs in battle might or might not work - you wouldn't want to give it after combat missions - you'd have perpetually green troops rather than seasoned veterans and a higher casualty rate to go with it.
There are already techniques to desensitize those with troublesome memories - try a Google for 'NLP' and 'reframing'. I had this done for some PTSD stuff I had about ten years ago and it worked amazingly well - three treatments over six weeks and a large portion of my symptoms had evaporated by the end of that time. I've had a handful of the falling/chasing type dreams since then, I see what is after me, and I see myself escaping. I still have the memories of the stuff behind the PTSD in case I run into a similar situation but they just don't have any power left in them.
This story is much more interesting from the perspective of our increased knowledge of brain function than from any immediate therapy value.
A Cisco dual channel T1 controller, part VWIC-2MFT-T1 is $2,000 new list price. A small reseller will pay 70% of list or about $1,400 for it in distribution, while a large reseller might only pay $1,100 or so. Below we see a tinyurl link to an Ebay auction for a new boxed unit at only $227 or 11.3% of list price. I guarantee if you contact the seller you can get six dozen of them for the same price.
This has gone on and on and on and on for the last two years, destroying the value of used Cisco gear we pull from customers and making it almost impossible to buy a used/refurbished card without running into this stuff.
I found out about this sort of thing the hard way. I got a *fantastic* deal on six new in the box Cisco 1721 routers. It wasn't so fantastic when I had to explain to my biggest customer that half of the machines they owned couldn't be registered for service because Cisco had them listed as in service in South America. Oh, and they failed, one by one, with mysterious problems not attributeable to hardware or software... they just acted... different.
Foo on all counterfeiters. They should be given counterfeit lifesaving drugs while riding in an ambulance equipped with counterfeit brake pads on their way to a hospital where they'll be cared for by a doctor who is really a drunken paramedic who thought it'd be fun to be a trauma surgeon for a day. If they live through that then they should be placed in a real live jail and periodically offered counterfeit parole papers to sign.
SCOX is arguing that Novell has infringed on their copyrights with SuSe Linux. They've also argued that Novell has failed to properly transfer the copyrights to them. Two lines of argument, each in opposition to each other, are perfectly fine the the court system. I forget the name for this, but basically SCOX is offering judge Kimball two different ways to give them 'relief' for Novell's supposed wrongdoing.
SCOX has admitted nothing. The meaning of 'admit', to a court, is that one of the parties involved is giving up information to the court that the other side can't prove. If SCOX were 'to admit' a lack of copyrights in lawyerspeak their case would instantly disintegrate and the door would open to Lanham Act claims and all sorts of other nastiness. SCOX never, ever 'admits' to anything.
There are plenty of people with knowledge of this case - see groklaw.net for mind numbing detail, or go to the Yahoo SCOX board if you'd like rowdy commentary and a sad, funny little troll named backinfullforce.
Excuse me? Bush is a sock puppet for the oil companies and you and I both know it. He is an astonishing barrier to responsible behavior on the part of our nation and you can't talk about fuels without talking about our government's position.
George Bush, he is in favor of this so called 'hydrogen economy'. There is your first tip off that its bunk.
Conservation (insulation, hybrids, etc)
Biodiesel.
Biodiesel & ethanol from waste materials.
New nuclear plants.
Those four things, in exactly that order, might make a difference. Most everything else is an oil company wookie. Hydrogen is produced most often from... fossil fuel powered sources! It requires the existing gas station infrastructure.
Foreign Policy magazine recently had an article on what feels good versus what is doable in alternative energy. Everyone needs some hard facts on these matters and later today would not be too soon.
Oil companies, politicians, and easily confused environmentalists are not good sources of information - this is fast becoming a problem for engineers and economists...
Eh... how do I email you? New Cisco Call Manager Express stuff is expensive and refurb gear that fits networks your size is available. Leave me your email as a response to this and I'll contact you.
You've not given nearly enough information for a phone system designer to help you. Here are some questions that would normally be asked:
How many voice seats do you have in the network?
Are those seats all in one physical location or are some WAN attached?
How many fax machines are there?
How will you get trunks from the telco? Remain pots or are you busy enough to need a T1/PRI? That usually happens at about a dozen trunks.
I know a company with twenty employees who has gone from Cisco ICS 7750 to a Nortel BCN to an Asterix deploy using the Asterix@home distro. I don't hear them complaining. They try every phone that comes along but they're sticking with Cisco 7940/7960s for their desktops.
I'm running a Cisco 2610XM with some FXS & FXO ports running IOS 12.4.5/w Call Manager Express. I feed it with a Vonage voice/fax business setup, my inside work phone is a 7960, and I've got a handful of other 7900 series for testing.
If you want to email with someone who does this every day respond to this with a post containing your email and I'll contact you.
Have you looked at whats out there in 2005? I can think of a handful of fairly famous photographers who seem to appreciate women (yay Petter Hegre!) , the rest of it... icky poo. I think you have to read the text associated with the images to understand the mindset of the photographer/author - "We trick this dumb slut", "College girls do it for cash" - it totally plays to the guys who have no hope of getting anywhere near a real, live girl, and so much of it panders to the child molester - my daughter stopped wearing those socks with the frilly tops when she was in preschool, and whats with all the pigtails? You see real women wearing pigtails much past the age of about twelve? NONONONONONONONONO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Geez, do Slashdot editors read the other articles? Ralph "scumbag" Yarro is the guy from Canopy... you know, Canopy - spending Ralph Noorda (Novell's founder) money on The SCO Group's suit against IBM to derail Linux?
If you're trolling on Celiac its a worthy reason to come out from beneath your bridge. I'm a middle aged adult and I thought for years that I had attention deficit disorder. I recently discovered its Asperger Syndrome, part of the autism spectrum, and that gluten intolerance was very often a contributing factor.
I dropped wheat from my diet eight weeks ago and the results are astonishing. Forty is too close for comfort but I feel like my clock has been turned back fifteen years in terms of energy and mental focus. I accidentally got a little gluten two weeks after I went gluten free and it just floored me - couldn't think straight, had to come home and zonk out for four hours, then I felt foggy for a day afterwards.
If you even think you might have Celiac or AS you owe it to yourself to go wheat free for a bit. You'll know within forty eight to seventy two hours if its working for you. If this is the case you'll only eat gluten another time or two before you get real careful about what you're consuming.
I'm spending an hour a day cooking for myself now, but I'm getting back many, many hours of being able to function rather than being a gluten zombie.
I call bullshit on the whole hydrino thing - until I can buy bottled water at Quik Shop made with hydrinos they don't exist. Only a little tongue in cheek - the discoverer is not inside the physics community, that stuff isn't peer reviewed, and he is raising money on his concept. And I can't help thinking about Vonnegut's ice-9...
I also call bullshit on the working HE3 reactor in Wisconsin. Fusion is just barely exothermic as currently implemented by humans. You're saying U of Madison Wisconsin is ahead of everyone else in this matter? I'm willing to believe... links to peer reviewed science. No, I'm not willing, I'm dying to see our species get off this one little rock and that would be a hell of a good step.
Biodiesel is hella good, but it'll be hella better when we make it from agricultural waste rather than edible stuff. Biotech is working on that 24/7 and it is a solveable problem.
Mars is warming, too! Thusly human activity isn't the cause and we can go right on exhuming fossil carbon here just like we have for the last hundred years.
That is completely and utterly wrong, despite the fact that Mars is warming.
The earth has gigantic oceans. Mars likely has a little frozen water here and there. The earth has a sizeable atmosphere. Mars has 1% of our air pressure. The Earth's orbit is regular, the orbit of Mars is quite eccentric.
So little water and next to no air means... come on... think people... LOW THERMAL INERTIA. There just isn't much mass on Mars involved in cooling/warming.
Earth's eccentricity is 0.016, Mars' is 0.093. We're at 91 - 94 million miles annually, Mars wanders from 128 - 154 million miles which makes its climate much more variable.
If you really and truly want to know what is going on you'll ignore Slashdot and scoot over to http://realclimate.org/
I spent a couple of years being an example... on Slashdot... at WispCon... on a couple of wireless ISP mailing lists... via my local Linux Users Group.
The local WISP business is just pure poison. I've seen lawsuits, computer and network intrusion, jamming, breaking and entering, barratry, criminal charges for theft by deception, a number of other instances where people should have been charged with theft by deception, strategic placement of high powered amateur equipment allowed in the 2.4GHz band, and a low level mafioso with a grandfathered license in the bottom of the 2.4GHz band who expressed a desire to collect 'tithes' from WISPs.
What good did a desire to coordinate frequency usage, paying my business's bills on time, and dispensing wisdom ever get me? I have to say that while your response cuts it does not cut unfairly, and its one of the better responses I've received. I'll stand by my initial post, however...
Slashdot has been filled to the top with slobbering wireless fanboys for years and years. This is the very first article I've seen where the poster isn't gushing all over the ISM band and how they'll put a brazillian bits/second through it from over the horizon.
I did see quite a few theoretical posts - ie there are three channels, a good engineer will use three 120 degree sectors. That is better, but they go on to say the next ISP that comes along is SOL. Not the case - they just elbow there way in, and people keep loving up the ISM band until it turns into packet bukkake - 100% utilization, 0% throughput.
Anyone who seriously wants to deploy that stuff should go google for "n9zia wireless" and read the Green Bay packet crazies ideas, which is where I learned half of what I know. The other half came from hard experience.
There will, of course, be two dozen fanboys all set to reply to this. You need to ask yourself the following questions:
Ever climb a tower?
Ever made a 21.7 mile shot using 802.11b?
Ever operated a wireless ISP in a metro area?
Ever been invited to speak at WispCon?
If you're not qualified, please shoot your mouth off on some other topic. Really. This article is a step in the right direction for Slashdot - away from wireless delusions of grandeur and towards a bit of realism.
Mod the parent up - transformational grammar, neurolinguistic programming, and the like are all easily accessible to anyone with a programming languages background and the stuff just flat works, despite the trollish comments from nearly every single uninformed/.er
You know, I read the articles on Slashdot because about one in three is something in which I am interested, but the value of comments is fast approaching zero - all of the sensible people must have jobs, leaving only the living under mom & dad's bridge crowd...
I work at home. Three days a week. Maybe. I make as much as I did during the so called 'internet boom'. I pretty much wear whatever is in the closet unless I'm seeing customers, in which case its jeans and a button down shirt.
Right now, if I was inclined to view these so called 'job offers' as anything more than the local equivalent of a 419 scam, I could make a princely $5k - $25k more than I make now... for taking those two days I now have to myself and spending them dressing up, kissing ass, and in general wasting time. Oh, and they won't like my attitude in six months, and we'll have that whole tiresome "you can't work in this state because of our noncompete" B.S. It *is* just exactly like a 419 scam in many ways.
This looks like a Slashdot product placement... but for fashion? Good heavens the clothing industry must be *desperate* to be trolling here. My fashion statement for the rest of 2005 might be some new underwear if I happen to get near the mall. Maybe. Unless global warming really kicks in and I can go without:-)
Coal is one to thirteen parts per million Uranium. Uranium is typically 0.7% fissionable U-235. I recall seeing stats to the effect that we put 25 *tons* of bomb grade Uranium into the air each year from coal combustion. Oh, and lots more U-238, which gets hits with neutrons from cosmic rays and turns into... Plutonium!
Suddenly a few pounds of heavily shielded Uranium on a Space-X Falcon doesn't seem all that serious.
If we were a nation of boy scouts that might work, but experience in wireless band usage in the unlicensed ranges indicates this is not the case:-)
Unlicensed wireless spectrum in Omaha, Nebraska, population 500k, is managed by a mixture of microwave design and troubleshooting, back stabbing, jamming with amateur gear, intrusions into ISP's networks, 'uncoordinated' adjustments of competitor's antennas and radios in shared facilities, lawsuits, character assassination, 'testing' of heavily amplified frequency hopping products, and occasional play on the part of aircrews on RC-135 Rivet Joints flying out of Offutt AFB.
Never in a million billion zillion years would the licensed band network operators here tolerate that sort of conduct. Eben needs to stick to software licenses and leave radio physics alone...
The xmodem stuff is way touchy no matter what platform you use. I love my customers - each and every one keeps on site spares of stuff - makes solving problems like that not so traumatic.
If you need wire speed they're the right thing:-) My customers have deployed about a dozen over the last year and I've got one for play now, but I never make time to do anything with it:-(
Almost all my work is with routers, not layer 3 switches. I do have a 3550 on loan from a customer and 'ipv6 unicast-routing' is not recognized. Touche!
