Hmm interesting. I'm type 2. I need to find more info on this research. I always thought it wasn't about my diet or excercise. Heck I ride a bike down the Bristol bike path, play soccer and softball too. I always thought there has to be a genetic defect that caused my insulin resistnace. Now.. I hope to find what the genetic code that is defective does. This way maybe I can treat the source of the problem rather than taking a DDP-4 inhibitor (I looked it up, the drug inhibits an enzyme that's not only important in digestion, it's also important for the immune system to target stuff to kill)
So this is a good thing, not something used to abort a pregnancy. I know I would never abort any kid I was blessed with, no matter what. Instead I beleive this can be used to get to the root cause of a disease and create a cure, no a treatment for the symptoms.
Have you ever looked at where the asteroid belt lies? maybe we'll prove once and for all that there was a planet that had an orbit between mars and jupiter.
I would really like to see a ppc driver! Comeone! And the driver should be written so it will run on the PPC, the new PPC platforms that are emerging, and IBM powerpc boxes like the p4, p5, and p6
I own a powermac G5 Dual Core w/4.5GB of RAM. I dual boot Linux (Gentoo) and OS/X. OS/X has plenty of open source applications! Where is this guy coming from? Does he have an internet connection? Gee.. talk about FUD! Gotta love blender. I'll be really happy when the reverse engineered drivers for NVIDIA 3d support are complete. The hardware itself is pretty quick, and I bought the box because the Macpro was here and I am a huge 970MP fan and wanted one while they were still available. Hmm.. GIMP, Blender, Open Office, FINK.. what about fink? A ton of Linux apps were ported to OS/X fink!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hmmm... this dude shouldn't be writing about stuff he does not understand.
of the blood and sweat of avid linux developers and hobbyists. Tivo, Samsung (those cool LCD televisions run Linux!!!), LinkSYS and others. Redhat too. Think about what they charge for advanced server. Plus advanced server is anything but, the "tweaking" they did killed AS 2.1 and 3.0-- anyone remeber the vm problem that I posted on the dell poweredge forums??? they killed Linux in the enterprise for a while. Whitebox didn't have the problem because those tweeks were ripped out and the current kernel from the wild was used. Anyway.. think of all the $$$ Redhat made due others contributed works. GPLv3 protects us from the novell/micoshaft deals. Novell is gonna have a hard time now... GOOD! they had no business makeing that deal. I also believe GPLv3 is gonna cause the kernel to fork. That's not going to be good for us Linux avid hobbyists or the commercial parasites.

Hmm.. Vote for Ron Paul, if the net does get taxed we should all terminate our internet accounts on the same day to send a message to Uncle SAM.. One that says, "Up Yours!".
Hmm. I've got a 3rg generation 15GB Ipod that I've had since 2001. MY CD collection is ripped at 320k. You can really tell the difference especially with the highs. Music does not sound so compressed at that level. The mpegs I bought on Itunes do no sound as clear as well as my own CDs I ripped at 320k. To the point where If I like a song, and there's several good songs on the new album... like the new Buckcherry album.. well I will by the album and rip it myself at 320k. There's a major difference even between 256k to 320k. 256k sounds a little bit better than FM stereo and better than XM. 320k sounds ALMOST as good as a CD. On cheap earbuds.. 192k is fine, at 128k you hear compression in the highs.
Yeah.. but it is obvious from the video that this woman is not fit to teach. She's not very orginized and there's no structure to that class. I believe this is why the video was created, to get it across that the students wasted 180 days and learned absolutely nothing. If the room was clean, the lesson plan structured, and the kids causing the ruckus kicked out of class, then I would say she can teach. I didn't see that. my wife is a teacher, I know what has to go into lesson plans, structure, etc. There was none of those skills displayed here.
I disagree, this is journalism... the video demonstrates this woman is unfit to teach! There's no orginaztion, no structure. The room looks like a supply closet. It's terrible! Learning should be interesting and exciting. At least it was when I was in high school and college. the kid did the right thing, he wanted the world to know how inept his teacher was.
This appears to be a remedial class or something. The class lacks orginization and structure. how can any kid learn in that environment, it's very sloppy, looks worse than a supply closet. Maybe this kid was tired of the disorginization and wanted the world to know what caliber of teacher she is. My wife is a teacher, her classes are not like this by any means. This woman is not fit to be a child care worker, never mind an english teacher.
man... what is this a remedial class? I don't see any structure there at all. To top it off the class is filthy and distracting. Gee.. when I was in high school (graduated in '81) at least the classes were clean, and there was structure there. If this is the majority of what kids are experiencing today no wonder the U.S. is going down the tubes! We got to do something about this. Our future depends on it. I guess this is why I sent my kids to a Catholic k-12 and high school. Sure they've got the typical "guilt thing" engrained in them but hell... at least my kids are pretty bright! And my wife and I made our kids a priority. So parents, watch the video. Would you want your kids to attend an english class like this? terrible.
ZDNET does not get it. Linux is in touch with the Linux User. This mentality goes back to our problems in the school. The "no child left behind law is a joke!" Why? Why should one hold the class back, move the child into a slower class and let him ride on the short yellow bus. On the same note, why should the world of technically challenged computer users hold us back? And the beauty of Linux is that if someone thinks that a distribution should be so easy that a "cave man" can use it, then they can create one! I prefer to have distributions like Gentoo and Debian... at least you need to understand some. And for the rest, well.. RTFM!
You don't even need a cannon or know what frequency the helocopter is controlled on. If your near the helicopter all you need is a strong broadband signal in the general vacinity of the helicopter. i'd imaging the r/c is just using narrow band FM modulation I highly doubt that it's a spread spectrum digital signal. Even if it's spread spectrum you can make a high power microwave transmitter , focus the beam on the helicopter and jam the reciever. Helecopters are tough to fly in certain wind situations so a brief radio outage would be enough for the tail roter not to spin fast enough and they will loose control and it will crash.
Well here's what I am thinking about, but I'm staying in IT, this would be a hobby. A friend of mine at work has 12 chickens. they pretty much roam free in a large outdoor cage to protect them form foxes, turkey vultures, dogs and othe rpredators. He gets about 70 eggs/month. No rooster needed, just chickens. No antibiotics are fed, only treated if sick, and if they are sick he does not eat the eggs. they are really healthy.. no need to do this yeat, only when they were small. Organic eggs yolks are darker, you can tell the difference. I think there's a market for these. So, I'm breaking the wife and kids into the idea. we'll start with twelve, then when we got it, double it, and get more. Maybe start an organic poultry/egg store. or maybe just eggs/milk/cheese (milk and cheese sold from other organic farmers.).. but this is a secondary job goal. I kind of relax when I do physical labor because my fulltime job has me behind a desk or in a data center most of the time. You can possibly swap this idea, run an egg farm full time and moonlight as mr. IT guy on the side to supplement the income. I know where you are comming from, I'm 44 now, and I prefer time with my wife and kids over a night at the data center. And the on-call times.. well... It is nice to forget about a job when you go home but I haven't been able to do that for 13 years.
Good luck with your search. maybe just getting out of the financial IT market would be adequate for you.
They could have used an inductive coil to transfer energy. It's much cheaper! An electric toothbrush I had used this technoilogy. I'm also designing a charge pad for a robot I am designing, simple inductive connection. it seems like some engineers don't understand AC electricity or the work that Nikola Tesla did. No need for expensive pads!

If AMD restricts access to the GPU, then I will no longer buy AMD products! The market drives change. DRM is dieing becuase of that. Now AMD wants to implement this? Well that would just mean the end of AMD. I used to like that company. My new Linux box now is a PowerMac G5. I had to take the video card out and swap it for an ATI 3D card since NVIDIA did not release the code for Linux on PPC. bastards.
Gee.. more fud. If you install Unix you should configure proper security, don't just run it out of the box! I flashed my Ipod so I can play ogg format files. It's been running Liunux for three years. No problem man!

Hmmm virualization 101. Don't virulize anything that requires high I/O if you do not have the hardware to do it. First of all I built an ESX server farm for high I/O apps. Feel free to search for my name at vmware. I used to work at Welch Foods until the new CIO just mentioned to words "Outsource IT" I left before a decision was made so I can "stick it to the man". What the heck, the IT Director left anyway. Anyway we created an esx server farm with 8 Dell 6650s, and we had 2 Dell 6680 prototypes to evaluate. Most of these machines had 48GB of RAM and 4 GBIC connections to our EMC SAN. And... Lots and lots of disk thrown at the databases!!!!!!!!
Another prime candidate to use for a server farm would be a BLADE server with 2 dedicated GBICS per blade.
If you decide to put up esx server on one server with just 2 scsi controllers and expect to run multiple virual machines to support multiple web applications, then you are a dumb ass and should get out of IT.:)
If your a company that would like an ESX 3.0 server farm designed, then send me an email
My next consulting gig will be Delta Dental.. A very fast esx server farm ro run Oracle on Linux... and yeah it can be done. You need the right hardware and software know how. TUNING.. lots of tuning.
Nothing is faster or more effecient than assembly code. I design robots as a hobby. All my interface code for the sonar, digital compass, quade encoders, servos, it's all written in assembler. My "Glue" code and logic.. well that's all in C.
