The original Shared Registry System Protocol (version 0.9) was developed by CORE together with Emergent, Inc. in the context of the creation of a registry system suitable for the registration of the anticipated seven new top level domains. Due to the political change, CORE was unable to start the registration of those domains. Instead, CORE got the opportunity to register COM, NET and ORG (CNO) domains via the registry spin-off of Network Solution Inc. As the infrastructure had already been set up and was working, CORE decided to extend the registry system instead of the development of a new system specific to CNO domains. The server system was extended to synchronize its database with NSIRegistry's via the Registry Registrar Protocol (RRP). The payload of the SRSP was modified to conform to the new needs. The development was performed by Computer Service Langenbach GmbH, and the SRSP got the version number 1.0.
This document describes the version 1.1 of the protocol, which is mostly a cosmetic update of the payload and does not introduce much new functionality.
Un-scheduled domain registration outage. We have disabled the domain tool due to an un-scheduled outage of the.com/.net./org registry.

What happened to the theory that a creature with a chitinous exoskeleton could not support it's own weight if it was much bigger than a modern day king crab? King Crabs are maybe 2 meters across and 25 pounds at best. Once out of the water, an exoskeleton can support much less weight otherwise we would be overrun by 25 lb cockroaches.

Larry Fullerton, now of Time Domain, invented a radar and wireless system based on pulses of energy less than a billionth of a second in duration. The scheme is known as ultrawideband. Although ultrawideband pulsed radar has been around for decades, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office decided in 1987 that Fullerton's system was original enough to be patented.
In the early 1990s, however, Thomas E. McEwan, then an employee at the Livermore lab, came up with a related idea for a "micropower impulse radar" that employed different circuitry and worked at much lower power. His device can function for years on a couple of penlight batteries, he states. He got patents, too, and assigned them to his employer, which started licensing the invention to manufacturers. But McEwan failed to cite Fullerton's invention as "prior art" in his original patent application.
Sprint backed the wrong horse and spent millions in licensing fees to Livermore lab. Their opposition to UWB is pure vindictiveness.
Now Time Domain refuses to license UWB to sprint, putting them at an extreme disadvantage to ATT and other competitors.
Beautiful technology though... this is one of those real "could change the world" technologies like the step from Analog to Digital signaling
This defence is what sets me off. To hell with Comcast. "Every body else is doing it" is a crappy defence. And if every body else is doing it, that makes me even madder. He should be forced to testify against "everybody else" or face criminal charges on privacy violation and stalking!
Proof that the movie industry times releases of movies they think have a shot very close to the the Oscars. Might be nice if the independents had the money to sit on top of a movie for half a year. Crouching Tiger was delayed by the MPAA because they wanted it dubbed for US release hopeing that would break it's production house. Their plan backfired, pushing Crouching Tiger's release to the eve of the Oscars. Sony, while being part of the MPAA, is an asian company and pushed Crouching Tiger into theaters despite the MPAA's protests. We won by getting to see CTHD unaltered and CTHD won at the Oscars.
I saw Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon at the Sony Metreon in San Francisco. The theater was absolutely full. 99% of the audience were Chinese. The theater broke up in laughter when Lo (Chang Chen) sings while leaving Jen (Zhang Ziyi) to take a bath.

First, how did the Hubbell end up being "myopic". There is a short, quick answer. The optical system used by the Hubbell was designed to operate in the near field where the wavefront from a point source in object space would have a sag across the telescope aperture of several wavelengths, quite large compared to the desired level of correction of the optical system. The Hubbell application, however, for sources at optical infinity, called for a telescope designed for plane parallel wavefronts from object space. The Hubbell optical system was a "borrowed" design. The design was borrowed undoubtedly to "save money", a favorite exercise of the "almost technical" managers of that era.
The technical management of two groups of people had to fail to enable construction of the original "myopic" Hubbell telescope. The government group which contracted with the supplier had to overlook the rather obvious short fall of the borrowed design. Second, the supplier, who had performed the design originally for near field operation, either overlooked the design shortfall or, more likely, had lost the organizational technical legacy of the original design team which would have stopped or attempted to stop the Hubbell "borrowed design" project before it started.
The design criteria for the original optical design for the telescope was based on imaging features on the surface of the earth from a low earth orbit reconnaissance satellite. The potential performance of surveillance systems of this type had been detailed in JOSA in the mid 60s. The performance limitation of an imaging system in earth orbit was shown by Hufnagel of Perkin Elmer to be the modulation transfer function (MTF) of the atmosphere which veils the surface of the earth as viewed from space. In his paper Hufnagel performed trades which related performance to altitude and diameter of the optical system. To achieve the nominal 1 microradian resolution which he projected would require a nominal 2 meter diameter optical system. It is a small step from this fact to the requirement to have a telescope with a customized figure for near field operation. The 2.5 meter aperture used would have to operate at or very near it's diffraction limit of 0.5 microradian to achieve the performance as limited by the atmosphere. To achieve very near diffraction limited performance the optical figure would definitely have to be adjusted to accommodate the large sag, spherical input wavefront.
The production of optics generally requires the building of tooling, test jigs and test plates to insure that the finished product has been correctly produced. The development, building and testing of this tooling is a major part of the expense of producing optical systems. This was, apparently, a major "cost saving" envisioned for the original Hubbell project. The tooling for a telescope designed to operate in the near field was employed to build a telescope to view stars at optical infinity. During initial operation of the Hubbell after being deployed into orbit it's designed-in "myopic" condition was discovered.
Nero will burn 10 identical disks at a time. Plextors's 40x burner costs $215. So for about $3,000 you can burn 200 disks an hour. Don't put your ATA raid motherboard/ATA controller carded monster in a case. Pulling 10 disks out of trays stacked in a tower after they have all ejected simultaniously is a pain in the butt.
because you can never place the noise cancelation generator at the exact same place as the noise source, you will always end up with places where the noise caceling device makes the noise twice as loud. Two rocks droped in a pond create waves. some times the waves are equil amplitude and frequency but opposite polarity and cancel eachother. Other times the waves are equil frequency and aplitude but their polarity is the same. The interfearance pattern created is the basis of active noise cancelation. But since you can never get the pattern to line up perfectly, the effectiveness of noise cancelation for general white noise is horrible.
Better to dampen the source as well as possible. Liberal use of sorbothane is extremley efective in reducing noise in a computer. shock mount every fan, the motorboard, power supply, cd drive and hard drive on sorbothane risers. Use nylon screws through the sorbothane spacers with sorbothane washers. Line the inside of your case with anechoic (egg crate) foam. Bigger fans turning at lower rpm are preferable. Centrifugal fans tend to be quieter when moving a given amount of air than radial (standard) fans. 36x is about the fastest CD drive you can get that will not induce horible vibrations in addition to their noise component. fan filters made of nylon stockings reduce fan noise considerably while standard chrome fan grills actually add to the noise a fan creates.
My computer is relativly quiet (56db 12 inches from the air intake) while still moving air at 700 cfm through the case for cooling. I used 48 volt centrifugal furnace fans on sorbothane shock mounts to acomplish this.
You can get 600 gigs for $3000 in shock resistant laptop hard drives. Still 3 times as much data for the same price.
Do you work for a tape drive manufacturer? I have never heard of a tape drive fanboy. Sure there are AMD, Intel, ATI and Nvidia fanboys but not tape drive fanboys. You must have considerable finacial liability associated with tape drives. Or you are trying to justify tapes because your boss reads/. and you made a bad financial decision to purchase tape drives.
You must be an old guy afraid to move on to better technology because you have always done it the same way. Well, I'm an old guy too but I gave up my 75 baud rubber cup phone modem in 1983.
You can move a hardrive offsite just as easy as a tape. the difference being tapes are more expencive. 200 gig tape starts at $3000. that same $3000 dollars spent on hard drives will get you TWO TERABYTES of more reliable, faster storage.
Forget the straw dispencers! Hack a tray to hold cigarettes and one to be an ashtray!! Power them normaly but do not attach an ATA cable... voila powered ciggarette holder and ashtray!
Basicly got a cigarette lighter fixture from napa auto parts and crimped a standard 4 pin molex to the leads on the red/black pair. Drill a hole in the case the right size and mount it. Plug your molex connector into the ATX hard drive leads. Could have put a resister inline to let it heat up slower (draw less amperage) on a 300w Power supply but opted for a Sparkle 400w ($26) instead. There used to be a site that talked about the mod. But it is offline. The guy basicly used a 250w AT powersupply for his fans and cigarette lighter and peltier. ATs are better for that sort of power because 400w+ ATXs used to be super expencive and AT can be turned on/off with a switch instead of relying on the motherboard for signaling.

Plug your molex connector into the ATX hard drive leads. Could have put a resister inline to let it heat up slower (draw less amperage) on a 300w Power supply but opted for a Sparkle 400w ($26) instead. There used to be a site that talked about the mod. But it is offline. The guy basicly used a 250w AT powersupply for his fans and cigarette lighter and peltier. ATs are better for that sort of power because 400w+ ATXs used to be super expencive and AT can be turned on/off with a switch instead of relying on the motherboard for signaling.
