true enough, but i would go so far as to say that anyone currently researching a wormhole drive so that we can transport goods across the galaxy should probably put that on hold for a bit and figure out some more of the knowledge needed between wormhole creation and the rocket engine.
to study things that are well beyond our knowledge level doesnt lead to breakthroughs, studing the stuff that is next in line and putting our coloctive knowledge toward that would be a more effective method of discovery.
we can't tell people what not to research but we can refuse to support it for a while or put less support for it and more support of more reasonably attainable things
these discoveries are all incremental advancements. without the first, the second is extremely difficult to discover, and the third even more so.. string theory MAY be something along these lines where we cannot discover the truth until we learn a couple more things. this would be like einstein producing general relativity without knowing about gravity or the atom... we need these incremental steps
(warning, scientific athiest. random spew of anti-knowledge comes agead) 'if' -- emphasis god is good god created the universe and everything in it god gave creations freewill creations would remain good having no influence of evil.
UNLESS
evil can be spontaniously created! good creatures cannot be evil unless they create evil!
so purhaps god is good and evil can be created spontaniously based on special situations. this corresponds with spontanious generation and that life itself may be evil! and that god did not create life but instead created a 'good' universe and life is the 'evil' spontaniously generated!!... or maybe the devil is real. who knows
either string theory is flawed and unproveable and is wasting time and holding back advancement from lack of studies in other directions.
OR
because string theory is beyond us right now and should net be focused on YET, if less of the brilliant people in science wasted time on string theory we might learn more! and become more enlightened by our new knowledge allowing for the possibility to product string theory.
im sorry, but i have to argue that point. the semi-random guess and check situations teach a mind to be more accurate in the future. a persons mind will only guess n=80 so many times in the problem 2n=100, and n=10 so many times before the brain subconsciously aims for more accurate numbers. this problem is simplistic but do the math the 'right' way requires writing the math out and fuzzy math allows the brain to get much closer much faster and refining an answer is easier that starting from scratch.
if 3n=25356 then i will guess 8000 and 3x8000=24000, my next guess is more accurate in that 1356 is a much easier number to compute. so 3x450=1350 and 3x2 is 6 so i can quite easily make 3 guesses and determine n=8452. i can do this in my head quite easily while

i do agree that both ways must be taught in schools cause fuzzy math doesn't help to much in 10^365/6=47n, one just needs to hae paper:)
i have power management turned down so the machine runs in the speedstep state of 1ghz max and 500 min. i did this because the p3 was getting a bit hot and i didn't need the extra performance that.33ghz offered. now the machine never runs the fan at max setting, even under heavy loads.
this machine does the following jobs:
samba server w/ 4 firewire drives(200gb each) in raid5 for 600gb. groupware/web server/mail server router/gateway
this machine gets a fairly heavy load with no problems. used to run great with onboard battery as UPSlike setup but when i added the firewire drives i had to put a real ups up for them. i run with 512mb ram on this machine and a 133mhz bus with no real I/O bottlenecks.
__
the real problem is expanding on a server for file serving as firewire is not the fastest storage system. also, 100mb ethernet is a bottleneck for me. no pcmcia laptop can take a 1gb nic as pcmcia/cardbus does not have the bandwidth for it. i have seen new thinkpads with gigabit on their pci-e bus, but thats a lot of money for a low end server with no expandability.
i have a desktop with a gma950 and had a number of problems getting suspend to work properly. BUT with the new ubuntu 6.06 flight7 and that kernel the problems disappeared and it works very well.
the new ubuntu also supports the sd/mmc card slot very well on the e1505 and e1705(same chip, i have e1505)
many of these naggles are getting better or being resolved completely as the 2.6 kernel matures. so if it works a bit now, it should work very very well within the year. IMHO
linux has come a long way in rescent years. i have mentioned ubuntu quite a bit as it is functional and up-to-date and easy.
my linux progression is redhat->slackware->suse->gentoo pre1.0!!->debian(didn't like)->(k)ubuntu(great!) with a sprinkling of many many other distros along the way. i hate to push towards a single distro as far as recommendations as all have their strong points BUT for a laptop i have found that ubuntu is the easiest and most update to date and ready for laptops right from the install and gentoo is equally supported through the gentoo forums though more configuring is needed and setup takes quite a bit longer.
my advice is as follows. know that i have 4 laptops running linux and have been through just about every issue out there.
first, avoid GPUs for power management. i have a radeon x1400 in one laptop but when i use accelerated drivers my power management doesn't work. if you want a laptop to just work get an inbuilt intel chipset. neither the ati or nvidia GPU have good power management in linux at this point.
know that your disk drive will be slow and choose packages and distros carefully based on the hardware specs. I use (k)ubuntu and am up-to-date with dapper6.06 and everything works very well on my dell 600m. suspend to ram works well and hibernate works well also, both with some tweeking.
wifi is quite easy now. many devices have inbuilt drivers in modern kernels or can use ndiswrapper and the windows drivers. configuring wireless networks has not gotten as easy as windows on all distros but in *ubuntu it is quite easy. 'network manager' programs makes it EASIER than windows in my opinion.
most newer laptops are linux compatible as far as the other hardware. i have 2 machines with memory card slots and they work well, also pcmcia devices work very well as long as the device is supported.
really, you should have no problems if you buy the right hardware.
'style' may not be the proper word. anyway, i have done some googling and the google logo has cut and pasted the second o simbol. the first o looks very nearly but not exactly like another image and the eye at the end that is part of the E is cut-and-paste. both Gs and the L seem to be original.
so google has in fact used unique elements in this logo, though not the whole logo is made of these.
it is an arguement to no end though as i feel google is in the right and suspect you do as well. the logo is comemorative and not a theft of intelectual property. it provides to product or advertising. it is simply comemorative.
because there is a difference between a similar work that is influenced by an original and similar work that is an attempt to copy an original.
the guys who made the google logo very clearly found some of miro's work and did their best to make the google logo look like it. in fact all of the combiniations of shapes in this google/miroesque logo are cut and paste work with a little photoshop magic and not an original, inspired by work.
i dont believe that a 'shape' and color can be a style that is copyright but only the very specific method of combining the shapes and colors and maintaining that consistency throughout the work that is the art. google basically did a cut-and-paste job. BUT it was not a 'pirate job' like the ARS claims as it was comemorative.
i suppose this is the only debatable issue here. if some item is of very similar design, or in other words is a blatant copy then it should not be legal unless it is a parody as these are protected by law(in the US anyway)
i feel that the profit part is important because paying respect to an artist should always be allowed but using an artist work for profit should require some license on the work.
i say this in another post but i will say it again here, google intentionally copied miro's style here and it is obvious. has this been for profit then maybe the family could throw a fit! but since it was comemorating the artist then that is ok/good. i do feel that the holder of the copyright(the family?) has the right to have google take it down if they feel and it is reasonable that the image was an offense to the artist.(unless it was a parody!)
Your use of such a 'warning message' violates the copyrights held by myself on sending such warning messages. in the future if you wish to send such a warning letter you may wish to license the use of specific statements such as "please refrain from" and "your use of XXXX violates the copyrights of"
additionally, my firm maintains a patent on the method of ending such warning letters with false friendlyness and we are currently not licensing the use of the "Thank you" message at this time.
this is nothing more than selfishness at work!(ok, maybe some greed!)
paying respect to a dead artist is perfectly acceptable and should be encouraged! this has been happening for 'EVER' and many many many of the most famous artists are only famous now because their work has been emulated and now integrated into modern culture.
no exploitation is happening here, just good ol' respect!
i see the point that's trying to be made BUT have to make a quick counter point.
google did not just happen to make a logo that looked like miro's style and use it. your comment implies to me that(though exagerated) every idea, shape, color, etc will be taken and one would have to dig deep to make sure that your 'fresh' idea is not too similar to an old one.
instead good DID look at miro's work and made an effort to emulate that work in their logo, though they were giving homage the made an effort to copy. btw i also think that this is ok as long as there is no financial reward from this copy, as it is pay homage! thank you google for being aware and respectful of art and artist.
maybe the ARS should joint the RIAA and MPAA to complete the axis of evil!
for me, i still have an interest in gaming but have trouble finding any interesting games. gone are the classic platform games that were designed for gameplay first and graphics were a way to make gameplay better. now all games are tricked out graphics and the gameplay suffers. i just feel that current games are not fun anymore.
also, the mmorpg fad is pushing gaming down. people that play those games are not necessarily playing because it's fun, but because it is the only thing to play that has any gameplay at all steming from that fact that other humans play. these games MAKE a player spend many hours playing them to advance and some people can only take so much grinding to skill points to give up.
i mean really, home many times should you have to shoot a womp rat with a phaser before it dies? im sure skill gives a bitter chance at a 1-hit 1-kill but if i saw a phaser laying on the ground i could pick it up, point it, and pull the trigger and vaporize a womp rat in 1 shot!
active virii are those currently 'living' in a cell or some other construct that support basic life functions such as allowing autonomous function and reproduction.
inactive virii are simply particles with a life-like construction. they have no autonomous functions and cannot reproduce even when paired with other virii and have no asexual or sexual reproductive abilities.
so! a virus is alive when in a cell and is not alive when free floating!

thanks just my take on it thanks for the read. goodnight
the patent itself disqualifies regenerative breaking as being applicable to this situation.
I say this because stating a term 'regenerative braking' without supplying a definition or method implies that 'regenerative braking' was an established term before the patent was files. it is quite obvious that if a braking method is called 'regenerative' then some system would be used to collect or use that power, else it would be called 'electric braking' or 'magnetic resistance breaking'
though that patent may hold up with reguards to the 'electric transfer case' this would not halt hybrid developement but force manufacurers to not use a gearbox to accept power from the electric and internal combustion engine. they would simply have to use an approach more like honda's where the electric motor assists the crank shaft or where the electric motors are wheel hub motors, effectively skirting the patent.
"reduced wear on brake pads" = increased wear and tear on vehicle suspension systems
a bump does more wear on a car that the equivelent amount of breaking(to effect vehicle speed)
this is a rediculous idea for small speed bump style units!
on the other hand, scale it up so that it is less of a speed "bump" and place them at stop lights, so as vehicles roll to a stop they ramp uphill(no bump!) and generate power via overcomming a spring and generating agains gravity.
freedom does not = "If this individual wasn't so anonymous people would be able protest and debate him forcing him to modify his behavior to take a more moderate stand"
specifically "forcing him to modify his behavior to take a more moderate stand"
freedom allows one to take a LESS moderate stand and only education NOT force of OPPRESSION can change this.
please read this next comment and try to fully grasp it before starting up your flame thrower!- most rascism is perpetuated by stereotypes. most stereotypes are based, though often lossely, on common observations. most of these stereotypical activites are perpetuated via lack of education and opportunity. so, if black people in the 'hood' are stereotypically though of as thugs(in racist groups!), then 'some' of them likely are, and that is because they lack education and oportunity. so the stereotype of blacks being thugs is a direct result of overexposure of a small group of people with less education and opportunity.
now, what is the solution? teach them, invest in the communities, allow/help them move to established communities where opportunities and schools can help them. the solution is NOT to bring in 700 KKK members and forcibly convince them to modify their ideas and moderate their attitude.
the point is. poor living conditions and education are the cause of racism. Privacy does not advocate extreme ideas. Oppression advocate extreme ideas and acts(revolution).
i would definitely consider backing up to hard disk. avoid dvds like plague! i backup to two hard disks for redundancy but i do not do it in a raid set. raid is hardware AND software reliant in all forms and a hardware failure can leave you with a lot of lost data(raid controller failure, model not made anymore!) and software raid can fail via simple glitches and leave the data scrambled and data forensics cant pull usable data off the disk! so i suggest 2 firewire disks and take the time to backup to both disks.
i have a product called 'windows creator' am i infringing on microsofts trademark?
what was your answer?
my product makes small designer windows from flat glss for use in houses.
now am i infringing on microsofts trademark?
'windows' is a generic name and use of it does not constitute trademark violation unless the product is in the same market. 'windows defender' was obviously a product in the microsoft windows market so microsoft owned and had rights to the trademark. if the guy had named the product 'OS defender for windows' he would have been good.
(as a side note, i do not have this product, it is just an example!)

here is the solution to the debate.
life must exhibit certain characteristics.
the simplest two characteristics are
reproductivity
autonomous function
so a virus must have two classifications.
active and inactive
active virii are those currently 'living' in a cell or some other construct that support basic life functions such as allowing autonomous function and reproduction.
inactive virii are simply particles with a life-like construction. they have no autonomous functions and cannot reproduce even when paired with other virii and have no asexual or sexual reproductive abilities.
so! a virus is alive when in a cell and is not alive when free floating!

after 6 years of work for just $27,000, it's time to move on! not to mention that employee's are allowed by law in all states, fair break periods.
now the computer use policy is a binding labor contract(if signed or whitnessed) but a warning is generally considered necessary before termination!
anyway, $27k isn't enough for 6 years of experience.
