I'm sorry. My point had nothing to do with schizoprhenia, or if I had it or not. My point could only be understood if you looked at strongly at my subject.
It was one of the most complicated summaries I've read in a long time. Maybe it's the subject matter. If they were talking about RAID levels or spanning trees, I would have had a better chance.
Seriously, has no one at NASA watched stargate? I can tell you how this ends.
1. NASA creates self replicating nanobot to perform a useful function 2. life form develops beyond their wildest dreams. 3. replicators begin attacking humans. 4. replicators begin to LOOK like humans. 5. O'neal sticks his face in some mind alterning THING that implants all the knowledge of the ancients. 6. O'neal makes BFG 3000 that can blast them, but it's not enough. 7. Daniel and Carter link all the stargates, creating one big distributed network (internet?) 8. Ba'al, big evil Goa'uld, knows the secret code to set off super-weapon in the temple where the Jaffa live... 9. 'super radiation' kills travels through all the portals across the universe, killing off the replicators.
So, someone go ahead and tell NASA to cut it out. Can't they see this ended badly? Somehow this lead to a new storyline with the stupid Oreye, Ori, whatever they are.
Why couldn't they STILL make people connect to bnet to start up a game, but once the game is started it uses the local network only. This way all they get the control they want, and the players get the LAN performance they want.
Yeah, it was this that gave me the idea for the post. I'd heard something about KERS in passing but couldn't remember what it was. I guess my point of the whole post was, there's a time and a place for being green, but it's not when the gubment mandates. The only people that benefits are the politicians and the PAC's that fund them.
Gore doesn't want to save the world. He wants to get richer selling offsets. Give me a break.
I haven't really had any problems with the CFLs in the outside fixtures. They're pretty standard gas-light looking fixtures, light mounts in the same direction it would in a lamp, not like it would in a closet. surrounded on 4 sides with thin panes of glass, metal frame on top.
If it matters, I'm in Mobile, Alabama. The climate ranges from 101F/90% Humidity, down to 25F... I've done this in my old house and the one I just bought. In the old house I just had them in for 2 years before I moved.
This brings up another situation where I use CFLs, anywhere where it's very difficult to change the bulb because of height or a difficult fixture.
So, has anyone found a CFL that doesn't have a 30-second warm up time? I just had cheap ones from wal-mart, but they could have been GE for all I know.
I'm no environ-nut. I don't bend over backwards to save the earth. But I do make a change when something 'makes sense.'
A prius? Value isn't there. High up-front costs, low performance. I think not.
E-85? Lower energy output than gasoline. Starving people that depend on Corn. Did you know that last year the Mexicans had a shortage of corn products. Do you know they use a LOT more corn than we (US-IANS) do.Glad we're past that.
On the other hand: CFL - A time and a place. I leave our front porch lights on at night, and a few others for security. I put in CFLs to save a little money. They run all night and I don't need them instantly, so the warm up time doesn't bother me. I tried them in a closet... No way. I'm done in the closet before they warm up. They make all of my clothes look blue so I can't figure out which pants are which. And I'll be damned if I ever put them in the kids room. HIGH chance of broken bulb. Mercury/Carpet/Kids don't mix.
LED bulbs... I can't wait (till they're under $5.) Instant-on, LOW wattage, user-selectable colors. The US may as well skip mandating CFL because LED is where we're going.
Other Hybrids... Before long, NASCAR is going to see that there's some way to make this hybrid stuff make cars go faster and farther without a pit-stop... There are four industries here that drive new tech for the consumer. Military, NASA, Nascar and pr0n.
And all my devices on the same plug? GREAT. Less waste will hopefully mean less cost for me. Sure the manufacturers are going to eat most of that money as profit. But, if it means that I don't have to worry about buying a $30 car charger from ATT, I can just use a generic one for $5. Plus I can have a charger in the car, a charger at home and one at the office. I'll never have to worry about being without my iPhone cable again. At a neighbor's house? Good, their's is the same.
Lets go with a format almost anyone can read. As soon as their all scanned in as high res TIFFs THEN you can begin to OCR them and create hybrid PDF's which CAN be indexed. From there we have a good start with high quality originals and searchable dirivitives. Then people can start rolling whatever custom solutions they want to.
Yes, I know that OCR is going to be very crude, especially for anything hand written. But what it will do is get us a very good starting point. Id like to see a wiki set up with the OCR'd text as the beginning text, a link to the document and then the public can begin to go in and correct the OCR mistakes, and fill in what just flat out couldn't be OCRd.
The story though seemed to be asking how we can give them bandwidth with what they had... or what we could drop in. They don't' have what they need to make your 'extremely narrow beam'. And we can't reasonably give it to them.
And then if they made it with a pringles can, they don't have the equipment or skills they're going to need to aim that beam. Yeah, a few people could do this, but the poster is looking for a MASS solution.
And keep in mind, aimed beams are fixed, not mobile. (yeah, there are expensive/complicated solutions that don't apply here) Resistance fighters don't do well fixed. And scratch any large antenna. They may as well put a bullseye on their head.
So yes, if they could get whatever hardware they need, and had cooperation of someone over the border to aim it, and could keep it in one location, AND it could be as big as it needs to be, we could do it. But that's not the case.
Getting a signal TO them is easy. You just have to set up a source with sufficient power. Satellite, ground, shortwave, whatever. I think it would be feasible (I'm not radio guru) to beam them FM from space or Iraq. Basiclly you'd be breaking all the transmit power limits to further your cause.
The problem with networking is they don't have any devices powerful enough to beam the return signal BACK to us. Sure, we can broadcast them a packet 1000 miles away, but their hardware only has the power to return it 1 mile back... Yeah, you can tweak the sensitivity of your receiving equip, but not enough for this. And the idea of cells is that you are counting on a signal only reaching a certain distance, so you can reuse that frequency in another location. Even if they all put 100,000 watt amplifiers on their wifi cards, on our end it's just jumbled garbage.
By the time we got any hardware to them to let them communicate with us, this revolution will be over... R&D, Procurement, Distribution...
Hey guys, the article should not have been posted. Check the date, it's from exactly 1 year ago. If you want to discuss this, find an up to date article comparing speeds, and then start over.
Since then, Solid Sstate drives are somewhat bigger. SSD are a lot (relatively) bigger, and cheaper than 1 year ago.
But I think the results are the same. Use what's best for your situation. Editing video? SolidS state drives. High Seek database with small transactions? SSD
I beleive that his disdain for Israel may just cause him to act crazy. Hasn't he said in the past that he was going to wipe Israel off the face of the earth? I'm afraid his religous zealotry may cause him to use his nukes for that purpose. Israel's a small place, how many nukes would it take to effectively destroy all urban infrastructure? 5? What if he has 3 or 4 already and he's just waiting on getting enough to finish the job. Sure, he can't count on mutually assured desctruction, but so can a sucide bomber. What if this guy is trying to EARN his place in heaven... He doesn't give a rats ass about his country, he's just going to destroy it when he sends the nukes to Isreal.
FOrgive me if I'm nuts here. I usually only post on thigs I'm more educated on, this is NOT one of them.
Where in the bibles does it say something to the effect Those that are with israel are blessed, and those against Israel are damned. ?
In SOME places they disable, largely not done any more because they use the method you describe. But I'd say that sending a config down stream to the modem is somewhat more touchy than flipping a bit on a radius server.
Comcast is using nearly off the shelf DHCP with really long expires times. When you get an IP, you'll have it for months, and usually don't loose it until those months have passed AND you reboot your equipment and get a new IP.
DSL on the other hand is using PPPoE (PPP over ethernet.) Every time it starts a new session it gets a new IP, completely independant of what it had before. And from my experience with ATT/Bellsouth it's not daily, it's hourly. Unlike a direct link, PPPoE must renegotiate every time there's a momentary signal loss, just like dialup would do.
From what I've read, they use PPPoE because it's the easiest way to enable/disable users in real time via a RADIUS server. Comcast has to use more complicated methods to kill accounts (in some places, even send out a truck to put on a filter)
They say in their specs they do NOT compress https at all. Those are encrypted pages you're requesting, which jumbles up the data. Jumbled data does NOT compress well at all. Plus, they're 'secure.' You don't want someone else handling your secure files.
Yesterday, the number one topic was the birth certificate issue. One single post had the most votes. Then, the 3rd, 5th and 6th were also the same topic. Now go today, and those tops have been removed, and new ones are moving up the ranking, only around 200 now.
Yes, there's currently a spam problem going on. There should be no more than ONE instance of a topic at the top. But to remove the number one post AND the dupes is NOT transparent. Obama may not be happy with what the people are interested in, but HE opened that can of worms.
So, yes, remove EVERY SINGLE TOPIC that deals with the birth cert issue EXECPT the one that's performing the best.
What gets me the most is that the site is about being transparent but they are covering the fact that people are interested in this issue AND they are not not being transparent on this whole cert issue to begin with. Just release the damn original so they will shut up about it.
I also have to turn off Wifi, and make an effort to NOT use the phone for ipod/browsing/etc. I carry it for calls (at most 10 on the weekend) but don't play with it for anything else.

I see your point. I was under the impression that it was much more mercury. Like a 'drop' worth.

So, not too much to worry about, although I still think a plastic LED is going to be a better fit here than a CFL or incandescent.
