Stream should have looked into torrents for HL2. Would have REALLY lessened their load. And with the DRM methods used, wouldn't have caused any piracy problems.:)
I rescently got in a rather heated debate with a friend over a news article. Finally, after probably 10 vollies (on a forum board) I find out the article was from Fox news. He was using the text to support one point, but I was using the quotes in the text from two congressmen to support another.
For some odd reason, the revelation explained it all. I nodded and moved on.:)
Back on topic a bit, using car batteries sucks for this sort of mobile installation.
And yes, I'm one of several hams who have batteries AND a 5 kW generator for doing mobile deployments. We're a lot more equiped than any CB'er.. (Consideing their legal limit is 5w and 11 m CB band isn't that good at talking between states. ) We can go to 1500 watts on most bands and have the option of using reliable bands in the UHF/VHF range for local communications and HF for longer range.
I worked the state EOC ham station for a few shifts last few hurricanes that hit FL. Even with the hightenet communication abilities of the state, Ham's still probivide a vital link.
A lot of campusses are using a black box scenario. ANY traffic across the wire or wireless network is subject to an authentication-before-use requirement. The person pops their laptop on our network and tries to download pron. They get a login screen forced down their port 80 comms. Pops up in a webbrowser as soon as you try and navigate to a site. You authenticate using a campus email addylogin/password (not stored on your machine, I hope) and Voom! you're on our network until you disconnect.
And the autoupdates thing in a mac is a little more reliable than autoupdates in winXP. I've ran several mac's with and without virus scanners. None have had any problems.
I've gotta call back EVERY SINGLE FREAKIN winXP dell laptop at least every three months and wipe the bish out of it. Even patched, reconfigured, virusscanned, they all get something freaky. I've given up on fixing them and just wipe the drive each time.
I was just amuzed to even see PC mag flouted on/... I think someone got confused.:)
I love my pair of sony 20$ (sd-18's I think?) Best set of comfortable, durable and flipable cans you can get.
Due to some neck strain issues, I had to switch to a mic'ed headset (RTCW + TS) and went with some altec lansings. The're alright, but at twice the cost of the verenable sony's the're about 1/3 the quality of sound.
I've used my sony's everywhere (including a trip to australia) and for field day (24 hours of straight listening to noisy signals via ham radio.)
I actually like it. At least parts of it. The site was running a bit slow, but we haven't quite/.'d it yet. I'm gonna fire up some wget's and see what happenes... (just doing my part)
The pics looked pretty good, and I will probably take note of some of the "requirements" that the house had to have.
100% of the PC's I bought with windows now have linux on them. Strange.
Including a quarted of dell 650n's...
The whole problem with this key thing has been its inconsistance. And these keyless restore disks compound the problem. What if someone upgrades their motherboard because something broke? Do I have to make them buy a new copy of windows, or can I just install a fresh copy and say "look the other way, miss, you bought windows, with the computer right. It's not my fault you didn't get the key!"
Nothing for you to see here. Please move along.... Ask him what the purpose of allowing snowmobiles in national parks is.
Then ask him what the point is behind conflict of interest stanzas in employment contracts.
Then ask him why we have a national oil reserve.
Three questions which bush can't quite manage to answer. And which Kerry will probably be able to comprehend.
So I'm not wasting my vote on the green party. We can't afford to have another '00.
Oh, and keep in mind... Bush wasn't elected, he was appointed technically. Which I think means that he can actually run and be elected 2 more times. Since this term doesn't count.:)
Read "what do you care what other people think" by richard freynman. In 1986, the nasa software was tops and the engineers and techs were using the three diamaters rule to certify roundness of the SRB's.
A poll of one of the top engineer committees revealed an average of 1/300 as a failure rate for the entire shuttle. And the managere/engineer sprouted out the 1/10^6 like the company line.
But the 80 was from a croseed neutral line from two circuts. One of which was a half 220 circuit. And this was between the ground and neutral in a box for a cieling fan.
The previous homeowner was an electricial.
I wont get started on the plumbing. The home owner before the electricial was a plumber.:)
Slashdot Mirror
And some of it's on the /. front page right now... Speaking of "image"ineering....
Laser on die will rule the world. Until we come up with DNA computers that work.
Then again, laser tech is probably the missing piece to being able to make the dna matrices
I can't wait to try this think inside VMWARE on linux. :)
Great for downloading/distributing linux too..

The website "and the server at..."
So they still ahve to provide the logs for the website by itself.
The fact that the IP addy was fscked up wont matter much.
I was just trolling for responses like this. It worked. :)

Best way to point out the obvious, get links to it, and have 5 other people do all your research: say it can't be done on
God I love this site.
to use google to search for torrents directly.

I think there's a bunch of opensource ldap style clue involved.
The thing that sold campus on it was the relatively low cost of the units and the high granularity.

Why not? People are already playing money for coffee after standing in line that tastes like shit. This just eliminates the wait.
I'll stick to grind and hot water. We make ours in vaccuum flasks at work. (The air hole in the vaccuum tube thinger helps with the brewing.)
While we don't use bunson burners anymore, we've moved on to hotplates. We do still use a glass funnel.
Key** POSSIBLE... not probable.

.... we want something like that here. We have Microsoft and SCO.
NM... Took like 3 minutes to load. Still there. :) tehehehehe
It looks gone now. :08:49 est. 20041129.

They probably did it....

Naivier Stokes Equations... And the Hadamand-Rybzynski equations. Together, you have fluid flow.
And don't forget Reynolds, Nusselt and Grashoff!

I guess I'm feelin an urge to tear apart our new dual g5 tower. (dual 2.5 GHz 2 gb ram.) I'm still reeling from the dual monitors (23" and 17" SD's).
I'll start strippin her after this dvd finishes.
Yeah... I forgot that phone line shock.
