If you actually read what he wrote you will see that he said nothing about what it is used for in transformers.
I did reread it, and you are correct, but he went out of his way to make it sound like it was used to lubricate something inside the transformer and thus I'm still VERY disappointed in him...
Unless, of course, Microsoft has somehow put in a mechanism that disables a UK-bought Windows 7 when someone attempts to install it on a computer located in the US.
No no... that's not how this works.. you allow a a few million copies to be sold to Americans then you release a security fix that automaticlly installs and disables any copy that is located anywhere in America based on it's IP address thus forcing those stupid Americans to buy yet another license which will be offered at a slight discount from the US retail version.
Basically you make much more money and piss off your customer base at the same time.....
Please don't correct someone when you have no idea what you are talking about. It's not used as a lubricant, really what do you think is inside the transformer some spinning wheels or something?/FACEPALM
A 98 Z28 or Trans Am also gets 30 MPG in good tune, yet while your Tiburon is struggling to make 120 the Z28 will blow your doors off on its way to 160. And the car is several hundred pounds heavier than yours as well.
Your Tiburon engine is NOT anything to brag about in terms of efficiency. Its "efficiency" is solely due to the use of a tiny engine in a light weight car. In the 12 years that have passed since your car was built, cars have only gotten heavier due primarily to Federal safety and emissions requirements. Yes, manufacturers DO continue to make improvements in efficiency, but that is constantly being counterbalanced by the heavier cars.
Shrug, I wasn't really barging about my 12 year old car man... But if you would like me to then you should know it has 175k on it and the only things I've had to replace are the alternator and starter. (aside from the standard bakes, oil, filters, belts, and tires)
One thing that is nice about the Tiburon is there is no tuning required. It's fully electronic, no distributor to screw with, no timing to set. As far as the 120MPH vs 160MPH goes I'm sure it would hit 160 with a few mods but I find I normally don't drive faster than 90 most of the time plus the car was cheap as hell soooo eh... I think it could have used a 6-speed vs 5 speed transmission but I think they added that on later models along with the v6 but I got no complaints...
Federal safety and emissions require new cars be heavier??? Really? WOW!!!/Facepalm
This is true. The basic scientific research on how to control automobile exhaust emissions was incomplete at the time, and the engine controls available were too primitive.
This is exactly how I feel about hybrid and electric cars currently. Battery technology just isn't that good yet and I think there are going to be some very pissed off people a few years from now when their cars crap out or Jesus, what if one of those new Li-Ion Battery Packs decides to ignite like a faulty Sony laptop?
Plus the US doesn't have the proper electrical infrastructure in place for all electrics and even if it did still seems rather silly unless we move away from coal fired plants... I think a lot of people are trying really really hard to build the new 'green bubble' and people are buying into way to easy...
I'm still driving a 1997 Hyundai Tiburon (stick) which gets 30mpg highway and hits 120MPH stock. I'm really surprised that no one has been able to improve a standard gas engine's efficiency in the last 12+ years.
How will I profit? I used to charge $50.00 per kit, but now I fear I will lose my user base.
That's not how a good business man thinks! Buck up... you can still sell your wares to the police so they can hide their own crimes and you can add a bit of crack cocaine to your kit for them to sprinkle on the people they shoot...
Be the first on your block to have the new improved Safety Bag(tm)! Not only does it allow you to safely carry your cellphone in your pocket but it's now removable as well! You asked me to 'Thing of the Children' and I did!!!! And I'm getting rich off it bitches! Get yours today for only $39.99 each!

Yes but you see this new method pulls lots of power from the cellphones battery so it indeed protects the children in that they will have to buy new batteries for their phones every few months or if worse comes to worse said batteries explode killing them....
Good news everybody! We just saved all of the children by killing them ourselves...
Solar panels have a funny tenancy to be damaged by light.
Ok... you are like the 3rd person to reference this... I get it.. Solar panels break after you use them for awhile just like my Pentium-60 did. I don't really think anyone doesn't already know that stuff will wear out just by doing it's job. Plus we'd probably order these panels from walmart so that would mean it'd suck even worse.
Damaged by micro-meteorites? Try damaged by photons. Photovoltaic cells decay through use, they don't last forever, although they do last quite a long time.
I'm sorry are you disagreeing with me or just stating that stuff breaks under normal use? Even nuclear powered systems don't last forever...
I don't know about you, but I SLEEP during the night. Sheesh, this isn't rocket surgery.
I wasn't aware/. had a large following among the undead reverse-vampires but I should have probably figured on that. You of coarse do make a very good point. If we did send up teams of reverse-vampires that would solve several problems and reduce the necessary supplies required for an outpost.
The nuclear reactor could be damaged too, especially in transit. It would suck if it got to the moon and the astronauts found out it won't start. Someone tough would have to walk into the hot zone, lift the cover and start the reactor manually:D
Somehow I think the nuclear reactor would be less prone to damage than some glass solar panels plus we are talking about the moon here. Not some wonderful life filled place... Honestly I think you could nuke the whole surface of the moon and you'd end up with.... the moon....
but yea it would be a shame to loose someone in such a dramatic way, I mean the family would have to live with that terrible joke over them until the astronaut was resurrected in the squeal. Plus people wouldn't be sure if he was the anti-Christ or not so they'd have to burn him just to be sure.
No company does anything for any other reason than to make money. Nothing really wrong with that but when you start claiming 'it's for the children' people need to realize you're full of it. Honestly this is just a tin-foil hat for mommy and daddies little gift to humanity.
Those are two entirely different things. The entire point of encryption is that you can get the original back (for the correct value of "you"). The entire point of a cryptographic hash function is that you can't (nor can anyone else).
Anyway, chill out. I'm not saying your entire post is wrong. I'm just pointing out a relatively minor error. Yes, I was being pedantic, but I didn't mean to make a big deal of it.
Look I've ran Linux Servers for a very very long long time and I know what a hash value is... I honestly just get tired of people expecting perfect spelling, grammar and that every little possible thing be correctly worded up on here or I get a 'you're doing it wrong' reply... I don't waste huge amounts of my time proof-reading when I make a post because no one is paying me to and I kinda expect that people can figure it out.
Maybe I should switch to decaff or something....
Anyhow, as far as having your top secret data grabbed. I think most governments or large corporations are going to seek out the simplest cheapest method. Most of the time this involves paying someone to give them access. This payment could be in the form of cash, hookers, drugs or threats about telling your boss something you don't want them to know. Point is grinding down the platters on your old drives or punching holes in them is pretty wasteful unless the drive is totally dead. A simple random number wipe is fine... (o god, here comes another post because I didn't say pseudorandom)
Slashdot Mirror
That's no problem... I use 10.255.x.x IP addresses. These are clearly European.
We'll see what tracert has to say about that! Or maybe my broke ass site http://www.paranoidsurfing.com/

12,000 volts will not only kill you,
You're totally wrong... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_coil
A person can channel huge voltages right across their heart if it's at a super high frequency and low current.
Oil is used in lubrication
Please don't correct someone when you have no idea what you are talking about. It's not used as a lubricant, really what do you think is inside the transformer some spinning wheels or something? /FACEPALM

Verizon are idiots for keeping this guy on their payroll
No not really... They just don't want to get sued by two different parties at the same time for the same event and loose both cases...
How will I profit? I used to charge $50.00 per kit, but now I fear I will lose
my user base.

It's not that complicated. Shouldn't we be waiting to get excited about something more complex?
Yeah, I'm waiting for: 'Scientist find building blocks for taco's in comet, decide to build lunch.'
"Expect to be corrected by pedants, grammar Nazis, semanticists, and much, much more. It's common on here."
As long as they are all interested in looking at my Furry Fandom Pic's I guess I'm OK with that...
FUCK YOU MR MODERATOR!
It's fucking Marketing.. That's how it works... You SCREAM the same FUCKING thing over and over again UNTIL people BUY IT..
FUCK YOU,

But, what ARE the health concerns about pumping so much energy out, even if over such a short range?
I'm not honestly sure myself. We better ask goku!

Seems like the green-zealots might have something new to get pissed about...
Was this intentional?
Not at all, random numbers are fine if you can get them.
yes but they seem to be in sort supply or something... I've yet to figure that one out...

Don't really think a reactor like this would need much shielding. Probably just dig a hole and kick it in...
The solar panels couldn't be kept behind the lead forever though because we need to use the lead to make paint for the outpost...

More of a marketing scam i'm guessing.
No company does anything for any other reason than to make money. Nothing really wrong with that but when you start claiming 'it's for the children' people need to realize you're full of it. Honestly this is just a tin-foil hat for mommy and daddies little gift to humanity.
Fear based marketing is just plan wrong.
