  2. Re:I RTFA yesterday when I saw it on the Firehose on Scientists Claim Major Leap in Engine Design · · Score: 2, Informative
    They are what limits RPMs, which is why rotary engines have been known to reach over 10,000 RPM, and why a [very very built] small block tchevy :) with a Coates rotary valve system has reached over 12,000 RPM (can't find cite for that, but their page says "The comparative efficiencies of the spherical rotary valve combustion engine have enabled engine speeds of 14,850 RPMs."

    Hmm, my inline 600 ccm Yamaha R6 motorcycle engine tops out at 15.000 RPM, and it got nothing special to it. Just good old valves and springs.

    And if you want to overcome the problem of floating valves at high RPMS you can do like ducati and have a forced closing of the valve (desmodromic valve).

    The limiting factor in engine RPMS is the piston mass, you can't have a piston that travles too fast and wieghs too much, or it will knock the crankshaft silly and break. That is why high performance, high reving engines has started to go "oversquare" (bigger bore, shorter stroke).

    Great. So all Mr Ackmuhllakhmud has to do is cover his nail bomb on the sidewalk with pretty flashing lights and the authorities will just call it art and ignore it.


    Oh my god, do you really go around and FEAR that some one might have planted a bomb on your way? Do you know the odds, the chances that you will die in a terroist attack?

    If you are the least bit sane, you see terroist attacks as the LEAST likely secnario of all, if not, the terrorist (or fear mongers?) have surely beaten the U.S.

    So next time you see something suspecious, please don't be scared! Write it off to something harmless and stop worrying about it.

  5. Those picutre comments are ignorant. on Is the Botnet Battle Already Lost? · · Score: 1

    Picture 2 and 3 are really just normal IRC connect picutures and an abandoned channel with X still in it. Any body who knows a bit about IRC knows that X is NOT a "cryptic controller" but just a function of the IRC network that protects a channel from rogue takeovers. Picture 7 ain't really thousands upon thousands of bots, just the "eavesdropper" and two regular operators. And it is the eavesdropper that is isuing the commands?

    Please o please, let me have some security proffesionals who knows what they are talking about.

  8. Re:Interesting on Microsoft Hit With 280m Euro Fine · · Score: 1

    Afaik turnover is NOT the same as profit. Profit is what is left of your turnover when you have payed all you expenses, and in most areas of business 5% profit is quite good, and in some areas a typical profit rate can be as low as .1% in which case a 5% turnover fine would be devastating.

    http://www.computerworld.com/news/2004/story/0,112 80,96840,00.html hints that micrsofts profit is around 30%, so 5% isn't gonna kill them.

  10. Re:Bottleneck on 8.6 GB Internet? · · Score: 5, Informative
    Assumin its actually 8.6 bytes/sec and not bits like another poster suggested, the pci bus would become oversaturated since it can only transfer 3.2 gb/sec ( correct me if the transfer rate is wrong).

    A 33 MHz/32 bit PCI bus which is standard in most PCs will transfer 133 MB/sec.
    A 66 MHz/32 bit PCI bus which is in quite a few Intel and UNIX servers will transfer 266 MB/sec.
    A 66 MHz/64 bit PCI bus which also is quite common in UNIX servers (and becomming in Intel) will transfer 532 MB/sec.
    A 133 MHz/64 bit PCI bus which is the current standard for big UNIX servers will transfer, you guessed it, 1 GB/sec.
    Mind you that these numbers are pr. PCI bus, some of the lager Intel servers, and most UNIX servers have more than one PCI bus.
