  1. Re:Carbon-14 and fossil fuels on Nuclear Testing Helps Identify Fake Vintage Whiskey · · Score: 1

    I spelled it correctly. I know what electrolysis is I built my own machine to capture hydrogen/oxygen as a kid to make explosive balloons with a 12v car batter and a 20 gallon tub of water, a plastic kitchen hood, an aquarium pump and some home-made double walled 2l bottles in a bath of liquid ice. Was nice working for home depot as a kid got a lot of that crap for free.

    Yes, just mix it up and make it taste like whatever is fine by me. The idea of branch water is insane when distilled water can be substituted for 90% of people and they would never even notice.

  2. Principia Mathematica on Classic Books of Science? · · Score: 1

    This is what got a lot of CS in motion due to its "thorough" axiomatization of mathematics into symbolic logic.

    It doesn't suit mine. I still prefer scirus to Google Scholar. For general needs yeah Google is good but why not want something even better?

  4. Re:This is America on Seven Arrested After Protesting Army Video Game Recruiting Center · · Score: 1

    One of the most effective methods of protesting is hunger strikes. Most protesters don't have the wherewithal and NO authority can withstand people dying in some sort of mass protest. The problem is that so many people want to directly confront police officers in some huge debacle that they forget that wearing down the status quo is not something that can be achieved in a glorious street battle anymore.

    You can just do electrolysis and make pure water.

    Uranium ore is getting pricey. There has not been a new uranium source found in some time that is profitable.

  7. Re:Hooray! on Pirate Bay Court Loss Won't Stop the Flow of Files · · Score: 1

    Read about the movie studios reaction to television broadcasting in the early 1940's. Big studios they were scaremongering people that if they watched b-movie films on television that they would stop making top quality films. The top studios took almost a decade to come to television and they let a lot of upstarts take over the industry.

    Media panic during tech transistions happens all the time and we have not lost moving pictures, radio or news yet. The analogy is apt.

    No offense to Madonna but why the fuck is she riding around in Central Park?

    I am actually agoraphobic so about 50 days last count. Running out of wine, bread and olive oil so will have to go out this weekend at 3 am to do my shopping for the next 2-3 months.

    I use a 3x SLI setup with 8800's to drive 5 monitors for CAD work along with programming and I am going to upgrade to some 280's because when running some models have become almost impossible lately. I got nearly a year out of my setup though.

    Interesting. Yeah, I hope archive.org gets the job done I have lost 3 entire web sites and only one is archived.

  15. Re:How much IS your time worth? on Handmade vs. Commercially Produced Ethernet Cables · · Score: 1

    Where I work we buy all of our computers from HP because they are interchangeable, warranted and a known quality even if suboptimal.

    My last job required over 1400 patch cables. That is a week worth of making the cables.

    I was 18 and it wasn't half bad as you say. There might be a lot of important information there to archive and we should help them if we can.

    While it may be cost effective to crimp and cut your own cable when you are making less than 20 dollars an hour once you are making 20 dollar+ just buy it.

  21. Re:Advertisement on Yahoo Pulls the Plug On GeoCities · · Score: 1

    I have a second cousin who just saw ads on the web when he went to school and they would not let him use his laptop. He got so frustrated he tore the mouse out of the back of the computer, got suspended, barred from using computers for a year at school and his parents had to pay 400 dollars for a new computer. I wonder how many kids of geeks like us have never seen ads on the internet or ads on TV do to Tivo and such are going to change the dynamics of advertising? It already seems like most ads on TV are to people who either do not have enough money to have a TIVO or too old to care.
