I'd be rather skeptical of this... but how do we explain the production of Helium? Forget thermal energies, easily forged watts measurements, and the like.
In other words... if he really is injecting H and getting He, then what other explanation is there?
It;s not only worth the sticker it;s printed on, but it has already cost companies several hundred million dollars in fines for thinking like you do. Alright... I'll bite. When in the USA has anyone paid millions in fines for breaking a EULA?
They're made by the Aermotor company, now located in San Angelo. We had 6 of these monsters growing up at the family place - and they were tough, economical, and very powerful. They're the only remaining wind pump available.
The problem is that gearing ratios are very different for water and generators. I'm sure someone could solve this problem - but it's still not done yet.
I've been looking for something I could teach my kids with. I want them to have a real understanding of computers, but don't want to shell out 1000 bucks.
It would be nice to have a tv our or lcd out... perhaps that would be a good side-project?
True - but you can always manually schedule a cleanup in those situations. I don't see how a GC would impact overall performance, except perhaps in games.
Real-time transactions have timing requirements - but even then I have been able to utilize a GC in such an environment.
You've got a lot of solar panels I would assume - or a really small air conditioner!!!
A good wall air conditioners needs 120V@5A for 5000 BTU of cooling - meaning you'd need at least 600 watts? Add more watts for line loss, inverter loss, etc...
I'm thinking $2,400 in panels alone. Don't get me wrong - I'd love to do something like that - but it's too expensive for me.
Because it is a fundamental device that operates on voltage flux to change resistance, rather than a circuit. It's not made of caps, resistors, or inductors.
But this is about England!! In England, it's ok to tell your neighbor how to mow his lawn, how high his shrubbery should be, and who can live in the neighborhood.
English people do this all the time... I'm surprised they don't have unibrow police, fashion police, AND toenail police over there.
I love C# as well... and C, and C++. C# is great for one-off apps, large web app servers... game servers... incredible stuff.
But my day job is beating performance out of hardware. SAN, Encryption, CPU management, network drivers. And for that - I can only depend on C (and sometimes Assembly).
I've had great success with intermixing C and C# though, utilizing message passing and queus I can make great stuff. For anyone who hasn't looked into embedding the mono runtime into your app - I'd suggest looking into it for your projects. You get the ability to intermix high performance code with C# ease.

I'm not going to argue with your post - well written as it is. From the "faithful" side of the debate, however, a scientist proclaiming theological truth of God's death is just as ridiculous.
It's like a biologist explaining engine design, or a historian explaining computational theory - it's rarely pretty. And when they utilize their scientific credentials to base theological assertion as fact, I think the outcome is obviously going to lead to bickering and finger pointing.
For what it's worth - I see ID as a worthy theological topic. It is not a scientific theory, and while I encourage a good debate on the subject, I think we should recognize it for what it is. I don't want to discourage anyone from participating in this subject - but it's important to publish and debate in the appropriate forum.
Can you respect anybody then? If your definition of "deserves respect" is "agrees with me" then you're missing out on a vast, wonderful, and engaging part of your life.
I'm a bit confused.... Compaq cloned the IBM bios, and ran IBM DOS. Cloning has been a long tradition in the PC world - I don't see any real legal reason that would impede this.
And the DMCA specifically allows an exception for interoperability (section f) named "Reverse Engineering."
While that's certainly a scenario - I've jumped into those places before - it's not the only outcome.
I get to work and spend my free time asking questions, reading source & docs, and getting to know my team before I start making and major suggestions.
The real problem is....
People whip up business cases in a week and managers all pat each other on the shoulder after a 5 minute discussion and think they've done a good thing.
Before the business wouldn't spend a dime to upgrade the hardware, get new talent, or buy some COTS software that would get the job done. Now they're committed to a new development, new server room, hot offsite backup systems, and the like.
Is there simply a lack of brains in our business world?
For me personally, I don't care - I'm making a living on both sides of the curve. But honestly I've seen more talent, money, and code flushed down the toilet because management doesn't really do the job right!
Business proposals aren't audited, they aren't truly evaluated (accounting, IT, and marketing), and business impact is 99% of the time underrated.
The result? Micro-management, poor workplace rapport, blame-shifting, and denial.
I stick to small companies now - at least I can personally call my CEO and give him my thoughts.
I'm not advocating anarchy... laws are a GOOD thing. Bad laws should be struck down and buried. A law is not born good... it must follow tradition, morality, and principle.
If good people start dying because of a law then it isn't a good law, is it?
That's not the only issue anyway... All biometric scanners have an algorithmic component which distills the scan into quantitative numeric values which can be compared to subsequent swipes of the fingerprint.
For instance, a fingerprint algorithm may utilize certain features of a print (such as a line split or a swirl) to map points on a graph. Subsequent swipes will then have a certain number of points which must match within a certain range on this graph.
It is possible that these qualitative values would not take into consideration other features of a fingerprint - so people with different prints may in fact have enough common points to fool the system.
Ideally this would be unlikely - but it is possible that people can have the same biometric identity points - but different actual prints. It's a false-positive, in other words.
Yeah - but I bet that "unique" is probably not really so. It would be a non-trivial, but possible attack to either modify or "seed" the RNG with whatever we want.
I'd throw a single developer on it... give him a few tasks and see how quickly she/he gets it done. Get feedback and see what happens. Give it some load and see how many control levers there are.
The benefit here is that you get lots of support BEFORE the sale. A vendor will throw themselves on you usually to get the deal done.
I've been to many pony shows and they all look great. But until you sit down and do it you don't have any idea.

The second, forth and fifth lines are offset to the right... perhaps a leading zero?
I used to work at a recovery company. We "baked" sticky media in an "oven" (the kind you see in biolabs) before attempting recovery.
I've had great luck with the 3M disks.
If you can afford iSCSI, you can afford a second ethernet port, dude!
That's pretty cool that you've got a steam server local - I've wanted to do this with ipTV.
Just disable your network card connection. Right click on the card in networks and select disable.
Sheesh!

I agree 100 percent!
The problem isn't with threading - it's how developers approach threading.
All shared write structures must have locking! Use global variables sparingly - perhaps only for communicating exit procedures.
And if you can - use a garbage collector. Seriously - if you're not tied to real-time transactions, a GC is the way to go.

Because both vehicles' power can be measure in watts, e.g. a gallon of gas contains around 60 kilowatt-hours of chemical energy.

If Cali had a pair they'd let this date slip without a word... TSA would hit the wall, DHS would get no respect.
