Your first question asked if you could triangulate a position from 3 networked gps recievers. I'm not sure what you mean by that. Triangulation requires a directional vector in order to calculate an unknown position from 3 or more known ones. Differential GPS correction is not triangulation, it is as simple as placing a GPS reciever at a known fixed point and simply subtracting the known position from the position that the GPS reciever reports. Since other gps units in the area will be using the same satelites they will have the same error, so with the differential info, you can just adjust for it.
I know I'm posting this way too late for anyone to actually see it, but its worth a try.
Does anyone remember a web page that had a transcribed found diary of a homeless young woman. Basically the story went that she would shoplift liquor from various stores and sell it on the street. I believe the last entry of the diary was a note that said "don't mess with a pregnant woman's stuff."
I think it used to reside at this URL http://whatisthematrix.warnerbros.com/~sherrod/dia ry.html which is 404 now.
can anyone parse this sentence from the write-up and translate it into a readable form for me?
Plus, wind power is the only mitigation of global warming, because if the whole world converted to wind power in 15 years, the amount of power being extracted from the atmosphere would be more than the increase in greenhouse gas atmospheric energy forcing since 1600.
I've umm experimented with riding wheelchairs down steep inclines, most aren't built for speed. A few that I have tried developed vibrations over a certain speed, one suffered a catastophic wheel disintegration as a result.
This guy isn't even wearing a helmet in the BBC photo.
So this guy is hanging out on IRC while the fbi is looking for him? Can you tell us what IRC server he connects to? I assume that you have forwarded this info to the appropriate authorities.
This decentralizition (wow, what a nice buzz-word) you speak of sounds just like MSDOS, a point which you must have chose to ignore from the grandparent post. There's a little thing called multitasking that is quite useful. It's hard to do that when you have to boot into each program you use
It is worth noting that Linus started writing the linux kernel as part of a bootable stand-alone text editor. I sure am glad that it does more than that these days.
The western media's refusal to air Janet Jackson's breast, IS different than a blanket refusal to show women not fully covered. Both refusals are based on a similar principles, but one is much more restrictive. You can criticize a the more restrictive stance without adopting a completely un-restricted stance yourself. That's my point.
Oh, and by the way, not all those countries listed are as fundamentalist as you describe, and to assume so is incredibly narrow-minded.
Note that I said "some islamic societies". I actually didn't "list" any countries. My description came from the article which you again asked me to focus on.
I didn't think it was that funny, or that informative. I think you are trying to say that western culture is also sexist towards women. But saying that the western qualms against showing showing breasts is just as opressive forcing women to cover head to toe, and never leave the house un-escorted is totally ludicrous. It's like saying that I can't get mad at the guy driving 50 mph over the speed limit when I am driving 5 mph over it.
Judging an entire culture based solely on your own values is silly and narrow minded
Not nearly as narrow minded as the restrictions imposed on women in some islamic societies. There are varying degrees of narrow mindedness at work here. The bible verse "let he who is without sin cast the first stone" is simply not practical.
It makes me sad to see all these negative comments about confluence.org. I've been watching the site since it was using all static html pages probably about 5 years ago, the exponential rate at which the US was lit up is absolutely amazing. I never expected the project to take off so fast.
I thought it was funny, If you are pointing out logical errors in a joke song, you need to find better things to do with your time. Maybe you could make an anti-Clinton or Kerry mix? I'd love to hear more of these mixes from "the other side", bring them on!
With jabber an AIM user may not be able to send messages to a Yahoo user. But a jabber user with an AIM or Yahoo transport configured properly( having an account on both AIM and Yahoo) can send and recieve messages from both systems. Does not trillian require you to have accounts on each IM system?
Your aim:david scheme sounds alot like what jabber already does, when I am logged into a jabber server my friends on AIM appear to me as jabber users with nicks like david@aimgate.jabberserver. Presence information works just fine.
Logging will always be a problem, but jabber lets you transparently encrypt messages with gpg. Its EASY
Actually we'd probably just need to align all our magnets all over the globe so that each north pole points to our desired global "north" pole. That way you wouldn't have to transport everything to the [ant]arctic.
If you still wanted to pile all the magnets on earth's poles, you still wouldn't have to cut them in half, you'd just point the magnets' north poles straight upwards at the "north" pole, downwards at the "south" pole. Or maybe I have it flip-flopped.
Im glad I'm not the only one that thinks carrying loaded firearms to a LAN party is not-cool.
Kano mentions that he was carrying to protect his computer equipment while en-route to the LAN. Can we assume that he was walking then? I mean, how is someone going to steal the equipment from a moving car?
So he gets there and multiple people are carrying weapons, and even brandishing them at each other? I can just picture it now, a bunch of young angry teenagers trying to be cool by carrying weapons. Sad really.....

Then as hundreds of people move about, all recording it, then you'll build a map.
That's sort of like the strategy ant colonies use to establish paths. It's interesting, but such a brute force method would duplicate much effort, and miss many routes. The data is out there, we just need to convert it into a usable format.

I too discovered this. It's a shame because garmin has the sexiest hardware, but they charge an arm and a leg for data which they obviously had to get from somewhere else.
PGP could handle authentication, SSH would keep the link encrypted. ( Of course, ssh will handle secure authentication also so there is no need for PGP, I just wanted to directly answer your question.)
Your unknown stranger won't be able to steal bandwidth because he can't authenticate to your network, and he can't "spoof" or eavesdrop on your transmissions because the link is encrypted.
Do you really prefer to hole up in your house and be force fed 50% of your free time?
Most of the time, yes. Let me tell you why.
Like you (i presume), I'm a jamband fan and I enjoy the occasional show and collect as many live recordings as I can. I went to see my farvorite artist (keller williams) the other night and while the music was divine as usual, I couldn't hear/see it very well because of the mass of humanity that engulfed me. It seemed like half of them came to the show just to yell at each other over the music. Now If you like to socialize that's great, but I came there to listen to the music. I realized then that I enjoy listening to recordings at home many times more than being part of a noisy crowd.
But that's just my preference. You aren't me, and I'm not you. To assume that I should enjoy what you enjoy is selfish and wrong-headed. Keirsey says this well. In our american culture, you are supposed to be outgoing and constantly seek the company of others, If you are reserved and solitutude seeking then there must be something wrong with you.

sorry, it still doesn't make sense to me
