Isn't the wind from the cars currently impacting on the plain barriers now, exerting a force on them? Granted, that force isn't enough to move the barriers or even heat them appreciatively (friction) but if the wind is already there and just be deflected upwards/out towards the cars, why not harness it. It's like harnessing the wake in a channel. The boat's going to make the wake regardless of what it impacts on. Is doubtful current highway is designed for the wind wake to bounce back and power the cars going past.
Ah, I thought I was going psychotic when I heard his laugh, reading the blurb this morning. At least with auditory hallucinations, I don't have to ever be alone.
For the same reason we're not updating past XP/Office 2003; it works. Literally hundreds of home brewed sites and apps here. All the techs have their installer of MS JVM for the 'special sites' that don't work with Sun Java as well. Some rocks, once they get rolling in a certain direction can't be easily influenced. Until some VP wants to put some money/man hours behind modernizing our intra-net environment, all us techs have just got to go along with the flow.
That's what's happening here at my work; folks are picking up Mac Books and running mostly Windows on them (via bootcamp).
We're looking to get a decent site license fee for Parallels, though, so they can run Windows/Linux within OSX. Is really slick running other OS apps transparently within OS X. If we can get the license deal, next step will be to phase out Office 2004 and Firefox for Mac and go with Office 2003/IE6 for Windows on the Macs. Will be so nice to never have to deal with Entourage again.
Back when my wife was nursing, I woke up one night, being sprayed in the face. Wife was asleep on her back. Hydraulic pressure had made a fountain almost 4' high.
Back in the 80's, we sometimes had to go off base for parts for B-52's and KC-135's, to keep enough of them up and running. We'd have 5 planes on the ground, all waiting for the same damn hydraulic fitting. Pissed us off. Still, SAC food was the best. They were even better than Sizzler.
How about building basic P2P texting into cell phones. That way, messages to be passed phone-to-phone even if a central switch goes down. Keeping at the text level would reduce message packet size, too.
But the person with the 20 bedroom house with lights on in all of them to impress the neighbors will still needlessly be using many times the amount of power as the one person with one or two incandescents turned on in their one-bedroom house, and THAT is the problem that needs to be addressed.
My workplace: 11:1 PC:Mac hardware, 15:1 PC Techs:Mac Techs, Mac Tech work load 4:1 PC:Mac (really, only 20% of my work is Mac).
Most of the Macs are in scientific computing setups with fairly geeky users but we do have a graphics shop that needs a bit more help than regular desktop users. We don't have a fully implemented update system though. For whatever reason, they don't want to use Apple's Remote Desktop package (we do have our own Apple update server). DST was a pain as we just put up the Office 2004 update image and sent users an email with link to it.
It would also let me view an entire lab's computers and see which students are taking notes and which were goofing off. Man, the things some students IM about (usually involved being drunk the night before and who they did). The professors loved it when I set that up on the lectern Mac. After awhile, they must have thought the profs were psychic.
Man, that thing flowed as smoothly as an old dirt road. Sounded like it was written round robin style, where everyone got three sentences, before handing off to the next person. Short attention span theater for the CIO?
Yeah, but that's not SMS. I want to do it with SMS. Why can't I do it with SMS? I already have SMS. Why should I have to purchase something else to work with a different OS?
20 years ago, I was prepping B-52's to go and flatten Siberia. Now, they're building our tech. Wild! Who'd of thought enemies could turn into trading partners so fast. Oh, wait, Japan's helping construct the first new nuke plant in the U.S. in 30 years. Wonder who'll be our new friend 20 years from now.

And then you get the chicks?

Of course; got daughter to stop leak.
Keep your RIAA off my Robert Johnson!
I'm bicurious about chicks. If I had sex with two women at the same time, would that be bisexual or is that only if they are each on a unicycle?

You say Hom-Sec, we say Hom-Sec, let's call the whole thing a damned stupid idea.

D'oh! Didn't catch the "-" in front of the 5. All in the details. Guess my Mars probe just cratered.

So, for now, we're at the just get the fire lit and then we'll figure out what to do with it stage?
