I notice that they killed xVM Server and that they bought & killed Virtual Iron. They seem to be making an effort to avoid competition in hardware assisted virtualization products that install to bare metal.
If that was the case, then there wouldn't be all that free porn out there. I don't think the advertising revenue, would pay for a free porn site if no one
downloaded porn more than once. I mean, who would go back for a second video clip, fucking is fucking, right?
In order for a large merchant ship to spend the extra fuel to accelerate and decelerate and keep the lights on while parked at the armory, you'll need to make it more attractive to stop there. Perhaps you could provide a transfer point for some profitable cargo that's black market stuff in the adjacent countries, and don't forget hookers for the crew. The problem is that, in international waters, no country is up for defending the armory when one of the adjacent countries sends an F4 to put an end to the economic activity that makes stopping at the armory work for the people who buy the fuel and set the schedules. Also, there's the question of anchoring the armory so that it doesn't get blown in to some country's jurisdiction in a storm.
a. You can't use physical instruments to detect a spiritual phenomenon. Open a gateway to "the other side." Make contact with someone knowledgeable there. Request that they kindly check for ghosts on your behalf. Even if ghosts aren't found, conversation with your knowledgeable contact will likely prove plenty satisfying to your friends and family.
b. Acknowledge that you can't answer this question. Instead of trying to answer it, you could try to make it go away. Successfully perpetrate a hoax. When they all believe it, either reveal it to them, demonstrating the need for greater skepticism on their part - or else, leave them to play with it, thinking they've found the answer. In either situation, arrange for nothing bad to happen to you afterward, as if it does, the ghost will get the credit for your misfortune, as punishment to you for upstaging it.
In every event, do not attempt to use a shotgun as a means of defense from spiritual entities.
Since any list is likely to be incomplete, a list of products similar to those on the first list that can definitely be used without involuntarily providing extra information might also be helpful.
What about bankruptcy? The people operating the Iridium system got it for a penny on the dollar when the unit of Motorola that built it went bankrupt. Perhaps that could be part of the plan from the beginning. One could enlist some of those fine Wall Street financial people who are so good at planning to fail while avoiding prison time, build a system, declare bankruptcy, have a restructured spin-off buy the system at a price that matches the customer base and start selling affordable broadband on the oceans of the world. That way I could read these fine discussions when I'm at work and off watch.
There's also people working o/b merchant vessels and commercial fishing vessels. Since the cell phones went digital, the cellular signal doesn't reach too far from shore.
I used to buy Iridium service for $30 per month + per minute charges for the calls. If I made three minute data calls every other day or so to send/receive email (message size limited to 2k), it wasn't too expensive.
Gas Turbines also, once they're up to speed.
They're available in every horsepower from the ones
for RC planes to the Solar(TM) backpack generators to the giant GE ones. They're expensive to build, though.
Why not pour it into a direct ethanol fuel cell?
I'm sure any day now, an Israeli university will come up with a species of fern palm that you can grow in metal
doped soil and dry the pith in the sun to form an adequately useful nanostructured electrocatalyst.
Sort of like this? If you can make one smaller and for less money than Raytheon can, the military will want to by lots of 'em from you. Once you see the paperwork the military wants you to fill out in order to sell them anything, you'll want to charge them as much as Raytheon does, though.
Given the large amount of bandwidth available to share in Finland, this sounds like an unlimited data plan for cell phones with wifi capability. Sounds like a smart way to go. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.
This is just step one. Later they enroll all the kids at compuHigh.com and require babysitting rather than teaching credentials for the adult sitting in the classroom. It'll save 'em all kinds of money in the long run.
I don't know if it's of interest, but my Motion Computing tablet is fairly rugged and much less expensive than US$ 6000. I have some success using it with OpenSuse 11.2 It uses two hot swappable (if you swap one at a time) batteries, so battery life is less of an issue.
Why do I care about page numbers in a document that doesn't have pages?
It's not that hard to make footnotes and margin notes appear on hover, and it's also
not hard to make references to another part of the document - directly to the spot
being referenced. It also wouldn't be super-hard to make a reference that searches
out a specific spot in someone else's (scholarly html) document. When I remember
Ted Nelson's words on hypertext, I think the notion is to make the material
referenced directly available. The form of a citation for words in a paper document
is to help the person do what the computer does automatically when linking to a
spot in an electronic document.
The counter argument that comes to mind is that electronic documents often get taken
down, but if paper documents get taken away then paper citations can't get looked up
either.
When I think about preserving the paper experience without the use of a printer, it seems
pointless and doomed to fail.
DRM could be combined with file compression, and the decompression/unlocking (copy & save-as disabling) tool could be available as a Firefox plugin. So long as publishers aren't locked into electronic distribution via only one vendor, it really shouldn't matter whether the same books are available in several formats. If the common format is the one most convenient for the people doing the reading, it'll eventually win.
Y'know, my dad once told me that in California, if you built a 1' high white picket fence around your yard and someone hopped over it, landed badly, and fell & hit a rock, you could be sued because hopping over the fence was considered an "irresistible temptation." It was your fault for putting something so tempting near a public sidewalk. So when they make such enticing content available in such an easily copyable format, perhaps they're guilty of contributing to the delinquency of children, irresistibly tempting them to violate copyright laws.
So if I want to make an anonymous mobile call, I'll have to use my phone's wifi and make an anonymous VOIP call?
I suppose that keeps me in range of a hotspot. No wait, there's a fellow with a Froyo phone tethering his laptop...
So, do those Interactive Cliq keys solve the "people who steal using keys" problem, or is the theft usually unanticipated and those sorts of keys mostly get used to piss people off?

Might also be useful for casting, if you wanted to hire a performer with a certain sort of face, but didn't quite want any you had yet seen.
I think municipal wifi is available in a few cities already.

200 phones? If you anonymously buy 2000 sim cards for $3 each on a visit to Taiwan...
Stupidity is no defence, so if you're irresponsible behaviour is causing misery for others,
Tired of being harassed by that security fellow who thinks the next round of mediocre upgrades should be such an amazing secret.
