    They could used something similar to a huge turbochager ( which is basically two turbines connected by a shaft) but instead of having the a second turbine compressing air, you could have the shaft connected to an electric motor to generate electricity.

    I am not saying this is the best or most efficient way ( it clearly is not ) but this was just as a possible answer to your question.

  24. Re:How do they do it? on Software Freedom Conservancy Wins GPL Case Against Westinghouse · · Score: 2, Informative
    well here are a few ways i can think of.
    • A firmware update became availbale online and it looked similar to a linux-base firmware and then causes the person to investigate further.( not reallly applicable in this particular case )
    • The device has some kind of boot message that at least gives a hint of OSS software.
    • The device has a NIC or serial port. you connect to the device and try to ssh or telnet to it. then do further investigation.
    • someone found some manufacturer's manual or some insiders information or something (speculation).
    • accidentally or otherwise find some hidden menu that may give an indication and then they investigate further.

    im sure there are many other different more complex ways. but i guess it all comes down to someone sitting and looking at the device (e.g.) and saying this has a nic port there must be some kind of shell on it lets see. then they realise it is using GPL software and check to see if the manufacturer has posted the code online or try to contact the manufacturer and try to get the code.

  25. Re:Lose lose situation on Facing 16 Years In Prison For Videotaping Police · · Score: 1
    dude he wasnt pulled over for doing 127 he was pulled over (supposedly) for doin 82.

    furthermore, he isnt possibly getting 16 years in prison for speeding. He's getting it for putting up a video of an unidentified man in plain clothes pulling a gun on him and telling him to get off his bike!

    which if i had a bike and it was me i would probably pop the clutch and pull another wheelie (so that if he shoots it will most likely hit the bike) and run over said man.

    This isn't metropolis Mr. Kent, open your eyes and see the cold hard facts.
