(And I'm not making this up. I'm living in San Jose and hearing what the people around me are saying about the light rail, the BART extension, the HST project.)
After RTFA, I noticed two things: First, John Lanier is taking exception to being identified as a film director; Second, the blurb at the end of the article identifies him as a film director. I guess Simson googled John to find out something about him.
Mod you funny. It's oil. If you empty the case, what's left is not going to dry. There is going to be oil clinging to everything. What do you do then, take it to a car wash? Run it through the dishwasher? I don't know if the anti-static bags we use to ship motherboards are oil resistant, but I know they are not liquid tight. This is going to be a nasty mess to ship after the first fill.
Ignoring for the moment what will happen when you tell someone your plans for the weekend are to oil up your new computer.....
I know that air cooling has its limitations, but there is something nice about knowing your computer is not going to spooge all over your desk or floor. And working on this thing will be a real nasty mess.
But if you are an alternate fuels kind of person, then your diesel Smart and your PC can both smell like french fries.
Seriously, if they have to ship this thing empty, how to you return it for warranty work? I promise you that UPS or FedEx will not be happy if your package begins oozing oil in their truck. This may be the best thing to hit town since, oh, Orgasm Queen of the SS (Godwin and porn in one post!), but I will wait a few years before I will buy an oil cooled PC.
I have palpated cows before, and knowing their reaction, I find the ideas expressed in the parent rather frightening. Don't know, don't wanna know, and if I have to know, I want the knowledge passed by reference instead of by value.
Against tanks and choppers? Nothing. You are a fool to go up against a tank with a.38 Special. But it's hell on the people that operate them. In any case, this is a sick argument. I don't like the idea of US civilians having to take on US military. It's why I find a volunteer force more worrying than a conscription force. And, now that I am fully off-topic, I will stop.
IANAL, and that was my first thought too. However, after thinking a little, if a customer in MA does business with my company, and my company flubs his personal data, he can file on me in MA, even though my company has no corporate presence there.
The thing is, if I am going to take a screamin' reamin' from the boss, I prefer it be for something that is either my fault or that I can do something about. While a normal human can grasp these issues, some admin-types seem to think that if they throw a big enough shit hemorrhage that it will force the IT people to fix the problem. Tough to do when it is outside of their control.
Someone that gets it right, or at least, seems to agree with me.:-) I believe that the "deaths per passenger mile" are just for PR. The real measure should be either "deaths per incident" or "survivors per incident." Otherwise, we are measuring how many people get killed when everything goes as planned.
Yeah, the old "cosmic rays ploy." Back when we used Motorola machines, I had one system that would crash on a parity error. One. Out of five machines, and the only one with that specific type of memory. Also, there were between 12 and 20 other machines in that room that never crashed. The third time the tech came out on a service call he told me the problem was cosmic rays. We dumped the Motorola machines before Y2k, and have not had a cosmic ray problem since.
I still look at the FoxNews web site, but damn, one has to pick through a lot of crap to find information. It seems to be more gossip than anything else. I keep expecting to see a hot story about Brittney Speers' lovechild with Bat Boy.
On the other hand, almost all news outlets seem to want to lead the parade down to the circus side show, so maybe they are just a sign of the times.
It's a short calendar until I am eligible for AARP membership, then I will get one of these suits, and you young farts will be forced to fund Social Security! BWA HAHAHA HAHAH!
Because, let's face it, what every telco wants is to provide all communities of 12,000 people with fiber to the house. What a load of crap. TDS was doing their dog-in-the-manger act, and now is only putting in fiber as an act of revenge.
Not long after the Oklahoma Daily, the student paper at the University of Oklahoma, started running "Bloom County" there was a student commentary comic "Clonesbury". It had Opus going on at Milo about how their strip was so much like "Doonesbury." The final panel has Milo pulling off his Milo Mask to reveal that it was really Zonker.
Now *that* was funny!
Control surfaces may be moved by hydraulics, but instead of lining the plane with pipes and hoses to connect to the pump, they put the pump right at the actuator, and control the pump electrically.

So you are not actually in America after all.

And, the computer won't be on a desk in reverse cowboy. Plus, it's a static load.

For the love of Mike, somebody secure that laptop!
Thank you! I'm here through the weekend!
Your inflatable sheep is in the post.
Q: Why is it sheep and never horses?
A: Because a horse will say "neigh!"
Is it time for my lithium already, Doctor?
Without a suit being filed, unconstitutional laws get to stay on the books, and they get enforced.
...your license and registration please. Your other license and registration.

Wow. I have seen raccoon baculum for $10 to $15. I don't know if giants have a baculum, but I guess it would be worth quite a sum.

As long as they keep the cost below $700 billion....

"Balls" and "box" are terms that get me in trouble. Kind of like the circular queue discussions where the pointers where named "head" and "tail."
If the screen lights up with "merde Merde MERDE!", the computer is probably right.
