Why do companies like Ford Motor Company, Eli Lily & Company, Halliburton Company, Merck and Co., Inc. still each have a */8 allocation again? I can understand they may have been forward thinking back in the early 90's when the internet was just opening up, but within a few years most major organizations implemented firewalls and NAT so all they really needed was a few class C's at best.
Why do those companies listed above in particular still have such a large allocation?
Actually, the money will be there until 2048 or so... at that point the SS-trust will be depleted, the money going in will be less than the money going out... so decreases in payments will have to be made. In 2014 there will be less going into the system than going out, but it was teh same situation in the late 1970's and early 80's... which was when the SS system was tweeked, and the trust fund was added.
Now, you want to see another stock market crash? wait until 20-teens, when all the baby boomers start cashing-out their 401-ks.. watch the market sliiiiiide....
I don't see the connection between offering a torrent and decrease in server sales.
Internally, Sun is more of a software company than an hardware company, even though everyone outside of Sun sees them as a hardware company with a little software.
In the long run, sun sells software to sell hardware. So if they did offer a torrent, it could lead to more hardware being sold (even though SUn doesn't sell many desktop workstations these days)
Here's something to try: 1. Cut thin slices of AL Foil As thin as you can get it,.5cm... 1/4 of an inch or less.
2. cut peices of paper up into roughly the shape of a 20-spot. Cut the paper from different sources, news paper, printer paper, fax paper, etc.
3. glue the AL foil strip to a peice of paper, then , stick another peice of paper on top, glue another strip of foil above the other location, another peice of paper, etc.
4. Stick stack of paper with embeded AL Foil into microwave.
Observe results.
It is my hypothesis that each strip of AL foil will gather a charge, and try to discharge through the paper, therby setting it on fire/scorching it.
BTW, ever cut a grape in 1/2 but leave a small peice of skin attached, and pop it in the microwave for 4 seconds?/\_/\ Arc...Sparc...Bang.
Hacking and tuning with a Emanage

Hack Your Car

· Score: 1
I've been messing around with the Greddy Emanage in my RX-8. It is a piggy back ECU that can manage fuel, and ignition. So far, i've been able to pump out 37 more RWHP with "safe" tuning.
Of course, the RX-8 was de-tuned when they brought it into the US, so the cat-converters would last the required 100,000 miles. (Rotary's exhaust is very,very hot... it can and does eat cats for lunch)
With a wide-open exhaust, intake, and more tweeks to the piggyback , i bet I could get the RX-8 to 260RWHP.
At the Detroit Autoshow Media Preview days, I had a chance to talk to an engineer from Mazda about hydrogen Rotaries (if you are unaware of Mazda H2 Rotaries, check out this website
They said the largest problem for them right now with hydrogen is delivery and distrobution. Mazda has the in-vehicle delivery system basically in place, and can, within a matter of months, crank out rotary powered hydrogen cars. "We are ready to go" he said, "If they distribution system was in place today, we'd be number one on the market.
Additionally, he said retrofitting older fuel injected rotaries (13b RX-7's from 1984 on) would only need the fuel tank replaced, injectors replaced, and computer repoogrammed.
The remaining problem: there is only 68k BTUs per ft3 for H2 compressed at 3500 psi. At the same ft3 for gas yeilds 922k BTUs. Increasing the PSI for in car storage is a major research focus for the auto industry right now... Hyundai has developed a 5000 psi tank, but that still falls short of the 922 BTU's that has has at 1 ft3
Old rotary engines?!! Rotary Engine technology has come a LONG way since the 70's... and even more so since Mazda stopped importing the RX-7 in 95. The latest Rotary Engine rebuilders put in 3mm ceramic coated apex seals, ECU's that contain 3D reprogrammable fuel maps, boost controllers that employ fuzzy logic to activate the turbo's waste gate, ignition computers that increase spark, knock sensor computers that keep the engine from pinging/grenading, and intercoolers that cool 30-40% better with less pressure drop through them. Porting is now a fine art, and there are at least 20 different general ways to port a rotary. With minimal effort, and money ($3k-4k) you can get 300 horses and 300 ftlbs of torque out of a 13B-REW. Most tuner shops drop the stock twin turbos in favor of one large one, that pushes past the 500hp barrier... there have been a few that have 700 hp. And this is all with 1.3L 2 rotors. Those lucky engough to have 3 rotors (imported from japan) start out with 400 hp, and go up from there!
<sidenote>I'm putting down 313 Rear Wheel Horse Power, and 301 ftlbs or torque with basic bolt on 'hacks' (mods)...(Here is my dyno sheet) Intake, exhaust, intercooler, and computer. I replaced the engine at 130,000 miles because a vacuum hose popped off my wastegate, and caused the turbos to boost well past 15lbs, with no extra fuel to compensate... ping! Apex seal blew. I'm now at 150,000 miles, zip-tied vacuum hoses, and have had nothing but dependable and fun to drive Mazda Zoom Zoom-y-ness </sidenote>
Mazda is re-introducing the rotary later this year with the RX-8. Now called the RENESIS, the engine is a non-turboed multi-side-port 1.3L rotary, that is projected to put out 255-280 HP . The computer should be easy to hack, and a turbo kit will be available shortly after the introduction of the car. I would estimate about +330 HP from a turboed RENESIS.

"They absolutely lack the discipline of programming"
Again, this isn't realistic.
And it is this kind of thinking that makes software suck so much. Programming without dicipline is bad... It is hard to maintain, debug, read, comment, extend, etc... You must have dicipline to program.
Be a liberal arts major.
You can become a computer programmer anytime. It's like carpentry, you learn on the job.
Don't listen to this!! The absolute worst people I've programmed with have been these sorts of people... who think they can slack through college and the "pick up this programming thing" on the job. They absolutely lack the discipline of programming, don't plan their programs out well enough, and lack the insight into useful algorithms and methods to make programs work. These sorts of people will become managers and lack the knowledge of true software engineering to manage effectively.
If you want to get into programming, go into Computer Science. If you want to get into the hardware engineering for computers go into Electrical Engineering, since I feel the "Computer Engineering" degree doesn't go into great depth in either CS or EE (or so the programs I've been exposed to have been)

I see IE 5 ans IE 4.5... just a bunch of bug fixes, and some additional 'funk'chionality. It was deffinatly not worth the leap in rev numbers. Although truthfully, I used IE for about a total of 5 minutes over the past 3 years... I've used milestone releases of Mozilla more! I really wish Mozilla/Netscape, and yes, AOL, luck in the new version. From the milestone releases.. being way pre alpha to alpha... the speed is amazing.

I agree, the 24 hour everything is great sometimes. As with any town, there is the good and the bad.
The lack of support for the tech industry from the government and the big industry guns in town, the casinos, makes Las Vegas a poor place for tech. I beleive there is only one software firm in town, Westwood Studios, the rest are all VARS, and consultants. They cater mostly to the Hotels/Casinos, construction, or government. This is also a very big Microsoft town. There is the LVLUG that is shaping up nicely, but Microsoft seems to have hits hands around the neck of the management types in this town (I really can't say it is any different elsewhere, but this is a Unix User's perspective of this town)
On the good side, the Local Cable Service Rocks. 512/128 DN/UP plus Static IP for $39.99 month ($29 for std service plus $10 for Static IP) No firewalls, no blocked ports (except 25, which you can ask to be removed) No PPPOE to mess with either (for Local ADSL, what a mess.) Mostly excellent support, too.
Housing prices are good, but all the growth has caused traffic, water and civil service problems. There are no state taxes, but higher gas taxes, and sales taxes. There are also strong smog rules in the valley, a smog check is required every year in LV.
Basically, what has happened is that they [the isp's checks] were deposited into an account that didn't belong to our Internet service provider, and our lawyer is currently working that out. This is mail fraud if they were mailed to the ISP. Contact the postmaster immediately! Contact the Police and FBI.
