I hate commercials. But I find ad placement to be a creative and cool outlet.
I mean.... I *realy* hate commercials. They caused me to almost give up TV in favor of other persuits. I'm now watching a few shows only on DVD.
Now... think back to Blade Runner... All those Ads... Now *That* was cool. Now *that* in a game, I'd not mind. As long as they don't take away from my game play and I can "notice" them with out having them shoved down my throat for 15 minutes out of every hour, then I'm fine.
So a poster, even well lit * sure cool... Anything to promote the graphic arts people who make their lively hoods from the artwork in ads. But commercials are just evil. Pure evil!
I think there should be a commercial only channel (or like 10 of them). Ironically enough, people would watch it!!!!
A great deal of games I've paid retail for have sucked.
Since there's no way of telling if a game sucks before buying it, I don't like to buy retail games frequently. I do buy them though.
There is nothing that pisses me off more than buying a retail game, and then not getting it to work later because of some cd key issue.
I have about $200 worth of games which don't work, cause I've thrown away the damn books. (which had the key.) And I've actually bought two games new which didn't have the key sticker in them. (I have *horrible* luck keeping track of keys.)
Simple solution: make better games. They will sell, and they will get the money they deserve. I've bought 6 retail copies of RTCW. That was the best game I've played in many years. I can *still* get on the net and have fun with that game. There are others which I've never bothered to finish. There are others which I've played through twice or more.
Now I buy used when I can just cause I know most things suck. And when I can't buy used, I buy "old" gems. (most of the star wars games, eg... $50 is far too much for them new. BUt 20-30 is okay.)
Since the whole state of florida has tar highways, that means they have to be resurfaced every 5-10 years. Thus, there's always a constructiuon area where the lines have been *blurred*. The methods of removing old lines is no where near fool proof!!!
Then, add in night and rain... the painted out old lines look shiny (black paint over revlective paint with water on them) and the white lines in crap quickie paint look invisible. Only time I hit a moving car... luckily, we just kissed mirrors, looked up at each other, shrugged, and ignored the lines. (Watched each other instead).
Thank god the other guy in the other truck had a brain.
I can't remember whether I was in 3rd or 2nd. But I do remember that we had had a visit from an astronaught a few weeks before telling us about the flight.
All the rest of what I learned about the challanger D, I learned from Richard Freynman "What do you care what other people think.".
Great book too. Really nails home the issues about the challanger, top down engineering, and oversights. I think back to his analysis very often.
It couples with his comment "the eaisiest person to fool is your self" and together they are a vital cornerstone of my safety preparadness.
People should not have died because of a oring desingned for compression being used in expansion. People should not have died because someone did not properly use a temperature sensor. People should not have died because a practice for ensuring roundness of the SRB's involved comparing three diamaters....
Agreed! I hate HFcorn syrup for anything other fluid flow experiments. (:) )
I really like what Brazil has done with EtOH. But as a chemical engineer, I'm much more fond of biodiesel. Both for the engine technologies, performance characteristics and overall robustness of infrastructure. It can be transported in any kerosine/diesel/gas truck no sweat. And it keeps engines a lot cleaner than fossil derived fuels.
Ethanol makes sense for brazil, but bio makes more sense in a lot of places. Just think: to make ethanol, you have to distill. WHich takes more energy than making the same gallon of bioD from methonal, lye and vegtable oils. (Even if you count the energy needed to make the methonal and lye.)
I want a diesel motorcycle, running on bio brewed in my back yard! and I want this crap out of my drinks! We weren't designed to metabolize HFC!
I doubt coffee's the issue. My reliance on coffee is short. I can slam a cup of espresso at 2 am, and fall right to sleep, waking up fine for a 8 am class (called a short all-nighter).
I can also skip coffee in the mornings with no ill effects. A cup is a relaxing starter that I often don't have time for. So I take one with me.
Its those first 3 minutes or so of wake time that seem to be the indicator of my alertness. If the first three minutes suck: then the day sucks.
I'm also pretty pissy at night after i've made the decision to "go to sleep now, dami!!" . Any conversation on a normal day between the "I'm going to sleep; leaveme alone" declaration and the first cup of coffee midpoint has a good posibility of pissing me off.
A few days this week, for the first time in months, I actually woke up moving fast and not in that pissed off on a dime daze. (Drunk on sleep?)
I miss being able to wake up and hit the ground running. I can do it, even in a daze, but it is much nicer to not have to fight myself for clock cycles in the mornings.
I may actually look into one of those light timers. Or the audiable clock pair (radio first low, and then "wahm" with the alarm clock.
And on an aside; the two most productive days for me in the last month were those two days I had no "dazed ness" upon waking.
However, the "issued patch" solved the problem. And better yet, I could patch it myself by editing one text file and rebooting.
So yes; patches can and do break stuff in linux.
That being said, a similar issue in would have required a reinstall.
Like the three win2k machines I have here right now which *refuse* to actually use windows update. I'm having to download all patches by hand and force feed them one at a time.
I just started using a dual G5 as my desktop at work (with a 23" studio and a 17" secondary). hehe... still need to start moving these things to osx.4 soon. Have a PO for it, but haven't gotten it signed yet.
I'll ring ya soon. It's been a bad little month or two. Inlaw's moving out for an internship next week which should help things. And I actually just started to carry my cell phone around and pick it up again (after several months off. )
I'm trying to get a book published to pay for a new iBook, and picked this weekend to get it out of the way. So perhaps next week sometime?
On those G4 PB's... with memory problems make sure and check the seating of the mini-pci card slot (next to the battery, its the wi-fi card) I've had two PB's rattle them loose and it looked like a memory issue. We've now taken to using a little dab of silicone or slip of paper to keep them from coming loose.
Because of where the pci slot connects in the mobo, it looks like "memory" issues are going on to me. The first time it happened, I thought it was a fluke... Second time, the book wouldn't boot. Tore it down to the chassis and put it back together and it still wouldn't boot. Remove the pci card and it booted fine. PCI card was about half loose in the slot...
I'd call it an "oops" design. But the silicone stuff works great.
I've done the out of warranty iBook logic board rep with apple once. And it was the *smoothest* work I've ever had done on a machine. Had my laptop back in about 3 days.
Now, I've had dells and toshiba's both crap on me.
The sad part was, I've daily abused my iBook for 8-20hrs a day since I got it near new (a iBook g3 700). And It's done well. Now, the 3 dells and 2 toshiba's I've had in the past five years are all dead. AND THEY WERE BABIED! This last one really upset me.
Brand new Toshi Tecra S2. Set it up with winxp pro and office and some other data acq software. Used it for two days and XP started acting wierd. Set it in a drawer for a month. Pulled it out, toyed with it for a few more days and *wack* dead HD controller. Still haven't bothered to get it fixed. But the thing didn't have more than 72 hours of on time, and most of that was spent in hibernation or on standby.
Now the dells have just been trash. 6 months for each was the average between sendbacks.
We have bought about 5 powerbooks in the past three years, and I haven't seen any back from the professors. And the're getting beat up... Big difference from my POV.
I'm just waiting for my tax return to pickup a replacement iBook for my 12" g3...
I actually woundn't mind one of these if it would be QWERRty and have a light touch. Most keyboards I've messed with I can't stand. Only the laptop keyboards a re really good for me (due to wrist issues.)
I *love* my iBook kb.... wish I had it on all my machines.
I'm a SW game junkie though... keep buying them nearly new even though I promise myself never to do it again. Something about seing a partially clothed female character jumping around the screen with a light sabre at my every beck and call....
Ohoh... we're (a campus) actually looking at rolling out an inhouse VOIP solution to save us money over the pots system.
The new policy is " for every network drop, put in a phone line" (so cat-5 and cat-3 ran to every wall box) and "for every phone line ran, run a network drop". (same) And this is now (increased) to , two cat-5's and one cat-3 per box.
The thing is, we have so much internal bandwidth that there's no sense paying for the phones they way we are. I mean, for the price of three phone lines per month I can drop a fresh multimode fiber into a core switch. (One time cost!).
We'll see how it goes. I'm hoping for the VoIP solution, since we'll be able to be a lot more flexible and move people and numbers around a lot more. Not to mention all the crap we'll get out of the pipes.
While working the State EOC for 4 major hurricanes in Florida last year... we had a favorite quote:
"Nextel is french for 'no coverage'". And guess who had most of the state contracted cell mobes.... Nextel. hehe...
Sprint, Cingular, Verison all did rather well through the storm. Cudos specifically to Sprint and Cingular. They were using land COWS for their cell networks from what I was told. Made my job a whole lot easier. (I pretty much sat there and twiddled my fingers for most of my shifts, except for an EOC running itself out of oil and then gas (an hour apart) for their gens.) Because if I have to do my job, then things are really bad. (Ham radio: bridging the gaps left behind when the POTs hit the GRoUND.)
Considering how much redundant fiber some of these telcos have laid down int he past 5 years... our survivability is much higher.
As someone who pulled a 100 on a test in one of those classes (well, curve without me and one other student would have been to 40%, not 25) I know what it's like.
I can also say, knowing some of those kids who got 40's and below: I'd honestly trust them with my life. Regarudless of how they did in that 1.5 hour test, they *knew* what was going on, they just didn't get there in the time alotted.
The other point: I had no answer to the test parts. All I did was a single calculation, and a lot of explaning of the system in the problem.
There's a difference between getting a %40 on an economics or algebra test and getting a 40 on an engineering test. An engineer should know what they don't know. And should be able to make the right assumptions for the right reason.
I'd rather have an engineer who can get 1/4 of the problem right who *KNOWS* she's only gotten 1/4 of the problem right. Than someone else who gets 1/2 of it right and has no clue exactly how much of the problem the've actually solved.
1/4 success wont get people killed if the other 3/4's is handled by the other 3 members of your team either.
They used Intel's ATX 2.0 testing method off intel's site.
I was able to read enough to tell they powered the PSU's from an HP 6842A, and used a grid of 9x 300w prodigit load modules for the load on the individual rails/connectors.
Nice test... can't wait to read the other 24 pages of the article.
In this case... it gives one time to use the restroom, make coffee, enjoy half a cup and then take a 10 minute break before loading the second page.
All about the suspense.;)
Ironically, I'm going through one of those "is it the PSU" issues this morning with a Tyan server. If it is the PSU, it'll be the very first Antec TrueBlue I've had die in under two years of 24-7 opps.
I doo need to get a few more PSU's soon and will probably buy them off of what the article says.... well, when I get the chance to read it that is. hehe...
Main difference: all the other people working on linux have a major pair of advantages over the peeps at Microsoft.
1. They can see "all" of the code if needed. They can see how it works together if they need to. I'm sure code inside of Microsoft is doled out to parts on a "need to know" basis. Or not doled out much at all. 2. There are a bunch of users running the code all the time as its being developed and feeding back info.
[and a third, slightly less important.] (3. They use the code themselves and have a ethic working to make the best code they can for themselves, knowing it wont be used as a tool to extort money from people.)
I was prefering anything listed in HHGTTG... Earth rankedn an intial one word. And after being blown up, was expanded to two words.
I'm supprised they haven't piced a third option. There's one which is seen a lot in other areas. 1o pick a "planet" as the minimum reference. 2o use this size as the reference size for planatary determination later.
The main problem with this is two fold. 1. We may discover that as we keep looking we keep finding lots of "non-planets" which we should really consider planets below the size of our initial reference. 2. It's harder to determine the size of something in dimentions and its mass from a distance. And it's harder to tell its mass than to determine its orbital path. So there would be alot of blanks in the books until we got closer.
I'm a fan for settling for the "Domanint" body win an exception clasue for Plutolike relationships. Something that differenciates between asteroid, extrasolarsystem objects, and a planet with a really funky relationship with another planet. Pluto may not be "dominant", but it spends most of its orbit "alone". Asteroids do not.
Teragrid is a mixed bag... A lot of out clustered needs don't scale much beyond 16-32 nodes. And we need 16-64 GB per node to handle the data sets. And we need fast storage, since the data sets we use are huge. With Teragrid, we'd get bogged down just uploading the data.

I periodically 409 and then compressed air wash my KB's. The lab ones I do about monthly cause of all the grime from the unwashed masses.
