You can fish from the bank for them, just get some high test line, a good sized sinker (don't recall the exact weight), a sturdy pole, a leader with a large hook, and a bag of herring for bait.
The downside to eating sturgeon however, and really any bottom feeder, is that you are injesting whatever toxic crap that we dump into the water or let run into the water, that sinks to the bottom and collects in sediment.
But hey, live dangerously and enjoy poisoned Sturgeon coated in a beer-batter and fried in artery-clogging oils!
I'd say sturgeon are more of a brackish fish than saltwater. They thrive in the mouth of the Columbia river and much further up it also.
I've seen pictures of extremely fat sturgeon, but all the ones i've caught that were within limits were slender. I wittnessed catching one at least 11 feet in length, so they get huge, but they get long and not so fat it seems.
Many years ago I worked at an ISP in Arizona, and another tech support guy was blind. He took calls, used the internal billing system and even logged into our Cisco 7500's to check link status. I forget the screen reader software he used (it had a shark for an icon).. but it was damn amazing to see him at work. He was quick and i'm sure the people on the other end had no idea he was blind.
And for windows dial-up support, you really only need to know the names of what to click on anyway and you can walk anybody through it... especially the part where you tell them "Start...Shutdown...Reboot".
You can't beat their price. Unless you want to build a crap pile system.
And those systems that come with a 15" or 17" flat panel included. STAY AWAY!! The image is garbage, text at 1024x768 is so blurred that it hurts to read it.
The more shit their is, the more flys it attracts.
The memories of network booting twenty-eight 386's to run Windows 3.11 off of a single (486 66Mhz) Netware 3.11 server just started to fade from my mind, and now I can bring back the same joy, but this time with Internet Explorer!
If your use is a file/web server, here are my comments to you:
Install is simple. You can find a quick step-by-step on their site that helps you.
Apps in the ports system install easily
Startup scripts are run in a manner I enjoy more than the common linux style.
The pf firewall is great, and simple to setup!
I have not gone graphical with it yet, soley text-based and I love it. If you are experienced with the linux command-line interface and understand the core basics of how a unix OS works, you'll be right at home.
"This is a real good example of walking the talk when it comes it comes to open standards and open source," Truskowski said.
1. Isn't that supposed to be "walking the walk"?
2. "when it comes it comes to open standards" (Maybe this article was written using voice recognition software and the author studdered?)
How are they going to power all the LED-illuminated fans, Cold Cathode colored lights, beverage warmers, cassette tape players, cigarette lighters, betta tank filters and coffe makers inside their case and still have enough juice left over to actually use the computer?
On a slow "news" day this is the topic to post. Once people get their fill of replying to "news" and just come to read, then replies drop..but bring up up such a topic as this and you've got the hordes all clambering to get their opinion heard.
And with a fresh froth on thier lips they will surely return for a few more days or weeks to participate.
The feds and previous SBIR awardees so much as tell everyone that, not in the way you say it though. You make it sound as though it is a conspiracy to give away public money to the "friends" of the govt.
It is stated plainly that you should seek assitance from other federal agencies or businesses when wording your RFP.
And they do have some blanket solicitations that can get your project in the door and perhaps it will be considered for a future solicitation.
The intent of the conferences is education and networking amonst SBIR participants.
I have not submitted a proposal before. But nobody says it is easy money, you have to work for it.
Maybe they'll have a solicitation for mind-control blocking devices to wear on your head and you can get submit a proposal.
So many of you seem to be saying "Grants don't allow companies sell the technology" or "A business should not profit from public money".
But let me share something with you..
There is a program called SBIR (Small Business Inovation Research). In which small businesses ( under 500 employees) can submit for grants for very (typically) very specific "problems" the various federal agencies want to have solved. With an end result being commercialization of your product/technology.
It goes like this.. 1. Feds put out a list of solicitations 2. You submit a paper describing your idea and how commercially viable it is 3. You may or may not get "Phase I" funding for research.
4. Now, if you did well in Phase I you can submit for "Phase II" funding. Which gives you more money. This step is primarily to help get your product into the market. So you better have a good set of sales numbers ready.
Sometimes the "product" is something that the Feds will want to buy from you (e.g. NASA, US Army, etc..) and other times it will have civilian application. So if you want it to have civilian application, you can work on that too with the grant money.
And in regards to IP, you retain exclusive rights to ALL work you have done. And the US Govt. also has right to the technology, but not to sell it, just to use/improve/rework it.
This is not free money, you do need other sources of capital in order to progress in the funding. They aren't giving out free money without you doing some work and showing you can generate outside interest.
The point of the program is to grow the US economy and also to provide the US Govt. with R&D for technology it finds it has a need for.
There are many details that I have just glossed over. But you can find out more here.
There is a national conference twice a year to learn more about the program. You can find out about that by going here.
It has a sister-program called STTR which allows you to work with a university and use their labs and staff. You can learn about both at the conference, I find them quite informative.
"So once agin' it was right, but then
The lake went dry, she was gone again!
Fish started flippin' and floppin' about
Yellin' "Mercy Puff! It's a doggone drought!"
So he rolled up-gulch till he hit the lake
Of Apache fish, they was on the take
They'd built a dam that was made of rules
Now Puff was pissed and he lost his cool!
I'm sick and tired of these goldarn words!
n' laws n' bureaucratic nerds!
You're full o' beans n' killin' my town
and if you's all don't shut er down
I'll hang a lickin' on every one
of you sons o' bitchin' greedy scum!
So he blew the dam, an' he let 'er haul
Cause water oughta be free for all!"
PHP is great, but as with anything you install, you have to place a certain level of trust in it. And since web apps are always on to the public you really better trust them. Esp. if you are a n00b, and are installing these apps without knowledge of programming.
I don't like using a pre-packaged PHP app in a public or semi-public location. Then the code is there for all to study and prepare for an exploit.
I prefer to write all my own apps. I might use code examples and classes as a base, but input is filtered and checked. And nobody else knows the code.

Sturgeon, now that is some tasty fish.
Geez, how off-the-normal topic is this.. but..here is a good area for Sturgeon fishing.
HA, Maybe I should have RTFP, it has a link to it.. Jaws.

Have you ever attended an SBIR conference?
