Something along the lines of gearing up industry like they did for WWII? Or big blimps flying around talking about exciting opportunities in the off world colonies?
Am so pissed stereo A/V bypassed firewire. There were a few manufacturers that included it (Onkyo, Dennon?) but with few component pieces also having it, was quickly dropped. I'm sure the fact it would allow non-DRM'd digital info flow had something to do with it.
Eventually, I guess everything will be single cable hdmi and that will help clean up the mess but hate the idea of DRM built in to everything. Sigh.
When building our house, I looked in to a 12v parallel wiring system for LED lights but would have been way over budget (poor help desk techs here building starter home). Really hoping that this idea takes off, though and becomes part of standard package and not an addition/change.
When building a desk, I take 1-1/2" PVC pipe (thick wall) and run it along a 3/8" straight router bit. I then screw it to underside of desk, with slot at the 10 o'clock orientation. Is easy way to hide cables but still have them available for moving around. Also, PVC can be scuffed with sandpaper and then painted or you can use that black plumbing pipe (heavier than PVC, more expensive).
If that's what it takes to get a system admin to put down the coffee and stop surfing porn, um, uh, I'll wait for the users to complain about shitty server response. Except for the email server. That server admin, she's cute!
Hard to say what similar performance capability would be. I mean, they could compare it to my '70 Impala with 460 ci engine; 9 MPG, top speed past 140 MPH, and has trunk big enough for 14 full size suit cases or a dead horse (MotorTrend review quote). Or are they comparing it to my 2002 Chevy Tracker; 29 MPG, top speed 100 MPH and an carry 5 suitcases?
Most tech schools that offer IT related courses will have one or two in digital forensics and recovery. Community colleges usually offer these courses as well. If nothing else, check out the course description at the school, see the required texts and then look it up in the school book store.
Working as a desktop computer tech for the last 18 years, yeah, you do get to see a lot of cool stuff. About the coolest was a pallet of used machines from an ad agency. We used them as parts for our mom-n-pop repair place I worked at. I had the job of going through all of them and seeing what would boot, etc. Found a CD in one, full of next two year's Chevrolet designs. I'm a car buff and hadn't seen too much in the mags yet. Really tempted to share that info but ended up contacting the company. They just said to destroy the disk. Didn't seem too concerned. Weird!
Now, working at a small college doing tech support, students these days have no shame. It's all out on the desktop. Pretty wild.
With all the exposure to personal info, I wonder when computer techs will be held to confidentiality standards like doctors, lawyers, and accountants? Will we have to wear ties?
Had an issue last year where local gas stations had diesel put in to the regular unleaded pumps. Didn't seem to hurt my Suzuki designed 4 banger (Chevy Tracker 2.0 L) but I guess some folks had problems. Got a $100 gift card (Cosco) out of it and guarantee of repairs if any problems.
Or use solar/wind/nuclear to produce hydrogen during off peak time, store it underground and then use it for electrical generation at peak demand. Would still have to figure out some way to transfer electrical energy to every residence for charging up battery powered vehicles, though.
If there was some way to extract excess carbon from the atmosphere and bond it to hydrogen, could help clean up things as well. But it would still require energy to do this. Would need some kind of large energy source that covered the Earth...
Having a point source for ignition, without an interfering electrode in the flame path could help improve combustion. Just look how detailed combustion chamber design is.
EAsy way to compare; figure out how much it costs to drive per mile. A friend of mine with an 06 diesel Bug was spending 7.6Â/mile to drive using diesel fuel. I was spending 11Â/mile with gasoline in my 02 Chevy Tracker. Diesel was 20Â more a gallon at the time but still cheaper to use.
Have a Conquistadore out of Spain as an ancestor. Came over to the new world in the late 1600's. Looks like originally, he was from Murcia. Don't they have swallows there?

Hasn't worked yet. They breed like cockroaches!

So... Vista's been an extended beta test?

I have some 360 ML Coca-cola at home, in glass bottles. Is made with cane sugar and not HFCS. Yum!

Build your own FI controller?

2000 tech is also cool.
Whenever I say Wankel Rotary Engine, it feels like my pants are shrinking.
Just need a chimney starter. 20 minutes and you'll be ready to go. Or grill up some steaks and brats. Either way, win-win!

Tesla invented this electric cart that just requires two people to hold on to a bar to run.

D'oh! My cents symbols have turned to Â. That's 7.6 cents (U.S.)/mile, etc.
Actually, Adam Smith warned against unregulated capitalism and the effects of wealth on political influence.

Why aren't there any British computers?
Haven't figured out how to make them leak oil.
