Good idea, but the problem is the same as saying spam would go away if all the open relays were taken offline. In theory, it works great, in practice, there are admins who WANT spam moving...
Mine does, and many others do if you are not staying with relatives within 30 miles of the university. It is part campus involvement, part most for the university, and also part keeping freshman alive for the first year...
Garmin units (and others) with WAAS enabled... I routinely get down to 5-8 feet. (of course, i'm also nearly on top of one of the 50 WAAS ground stations in the nation...)
what is the purpose of having registration on the NYT site anyway?? here is the text...
You gave Linux, the operating system, to the world free, in effect jump-starting the open-source movement. Now this previously obscure company, SCO Group, claims ownership of some of the code and threatens to close the door on open source and Linux. I suppose it's to be expected that when you send your offspring out into the world, you have to be prepared for your kid to run with a crowd you don't approve of.
Oh, Linux has grown up, and it's running with a crowd that I certainly never expected, like I.B.M. and Hewlett-Packard. That's not the issue. SCO is claiming parenthood of that child and now wants to make money off the earnings of that child. Even though SCO has refused to undergo the technical equivalent of DNA testing, and even though my (and other people's) DNA is probably all over Linux.
So does this issue matter to you personally?
I've tried to stay away from distractions. But especially since they have started threatening to send invoices to Linux users, it may eventually escalate to the point where I have to start taking legal steps.
Is file-sharing, which has the recording industry so up in arms, the ''dark side'' of open-source attitudes?
Sharing is certainly not bad in itself. In open source, we feel strongly that to really do something well, you have to get a lot of people involved. What the recording industry is so worried about is obviously something totally different -- the ''sharing'' of stuff that isn't yours to share in the first place.
O.K. So what are your views on sharing music files?
I don't actually think about it much; I listen to the radio if I listen to music. What I do find interesting is how the file-sharing thing ends up changing how people think about computers and copyright law. Some of it is a bit scary: just the fact that your question equated sharing with something bad is a pretty scary statement in itself. What also bothers me is the apparent dishonesty of especially the R.I.A.A., claiming that file-sharing is destroying their business and that they are losing billions of dollars on it. There's been a number of studies done, and it looks like the major reason for the dip in CD sales ends up being lack of interest in the music produced. And let's face it -- how many boy bands can you try to sell before your revenues start dipping?
We've been getting hit with a lot of viruses and worms lately. What's your idea for ending the attacks?
When you have people who hook up these machines that weren't designed for the Internet, and they don't even want to know about all the intricacies of network security, what can you expect? We get what we have now: a system that can be brought down by a teenager with too much time on his hands. Should we blame the teenager? Sure, we can point the finger at him and say, ''Bad boy!'' and slap him for it. Will that actually fix anything? No. The next geeky kid frustrated about not getting a date on Saturday night will come along and do the same thing without really understanding the consequences. So either we should make it a law that all geeks have dates -- I'd have supported such a law when I was a teenager -- or the blame is really on the companies who sell and install the systems that are quite that fragile.
Since you moved to Silicon Valley from Finland in 1997, how has the region's aggressive approach to money-making affected you?
Oh, how I hate that question. I've actually found the image of Silicon Valley as a hotbed of money-grubbing tech people to be pretty false, but maybe that's because the people I hang out with are all really engineers. They came here because this is where the action is. You go out for dinner, and all the tables are filled with engineers talking about things that won't be available to ''normal people'' for a few years. If ever.
People position you as the nemesis to Bill Gates. He started Microsoft and you started Lin
The article already is almost dead... Can't check how they did it, BUT... the biggest problem isn't signal power, that part is easy with even a minimal amp and decent parabolic grid antenna. The tough part is the curvature of the earth. Beyond 10 miles or so, you have to get your antennas substantially off the ground, otherwise the amps and high gain antennas make absolutely no difference...
When personal data is public, even corrupt officials will be forced to behave.
Interesting assumption, but wrong... You assumed the corrupt officials will 1) allow their own CORRECT information to be made public, as opposed to cleaning it up first, and 2) that the public information released on you is actually true, and not replaced with previously mentioned corrupt official's info...
north dakota has very little to choose from because of lack of population, and when clear channel moved in, it became completely useles. In my listening area, there are two top 40/pop stations, one local, one 75 miles away. Both are clear channel now, and identical as far as playlists. At least when they were independent there was some variety.
just a note, but RFID tags should by design remain completely silent until powered by a specific radio frequency at sufficient power. Any other time, they are just useless paperweights... They have no power supply for transmitting, so they can't cause interference
[quote] The beauty of electric DC motors is the constant acceleration.[/quote]
Electric motors are just as sensitive, if not more so, to improper loading caused by too high or low of rpms. They do NOT have constant linear accelerations either. electric motors must be run at a specific rpm to get the best power and efficiency. too low and you burn it up, too high and lose more to drag and other wastes
all depends on what your definition of 'standard of living' is... In the 50's/60's in the US, a family could survive/prosper with the man working, and the woman at home with the child. (yes, very stereotypical, I'm just using it as the average...) Now, dual income families are barely surviving. The average cost of living has far outreached the median income...
if you ever suspect the kid is going to be exposed to weapons, teach them weapon safety. They will respect it and know what it does. If they do not have any gun experience, they will experiment because of curiosity the first chance they get and that usually results in two teen boys playing around and one getting shot.
better yet, let them save $$$ for their own guns and ammo, let them actually respect fine marksmanship. yes that does actually work!!
I live in a state that has very high gun ownership rates, and also the lowest rate of gun related crime/deaths... why? hunting is common, and kids are often taken with at an early age. we grow up with guns, so we know how to handle them safely. nearly everyone has taken a hunter safety course.
owning guns != death by guns
at least half the replies to this article will be "just get yourself a cheap athlon/vid capture card and do it yourself for half the cost..."
for anyone saying that, give it a try. I doubt it will last past the novelty phase, and will NOT pass the girlfriend test... It simply is way too cumbersome to be a usable solution.
nope... satellites at any orbit have two elements that are needed, a balloon only has one. Height is the first, but you also have to get that balloon up to 21000 mph or so...
But.... assuming you didn't need a true geo sat (stationary), yes it could 'float' at the altitude if you could get up there.
ME had some of the worst driver support ever, and the scanning system was an even bigger nightmare! (used architecture from 2000, but tried to use drivers from 98, neither of which worked.)
the pic is NOT a good starter model!! It took me over a month of crashing just to get the thing to take off and survive for more than 10 seconds... it is light, skittish, very sensitive to setup problems, but does have the advantage of not doing much damage during crashes...
my favorite comment is having an rc fly along with the riders on a bike race. go watch a heli fly sometime or get some buddy box time. might reconsider your answer! this isn't possible!
many die hard mountain bikers use single speeds, especially for training. These are DIRECTLY tied to the wheel, no coasting action what so ever. (although they DO have normal handbrakes brakes, running without is just plain stupid, you use those for quick emergency stops only)
li-ions tend to release some VERY nasty gases when damaged. (aka the ones that by the time you smell it, you are dead...) acid is MUCH more appealing than having an invisible toxic gas...
we have had 26 or launches, recovered all but the first one. ground distance is anywhere from several miles up to 200 miles. It radios back telemetry through a ham radio link, which gives us a moving map of us and the payload. actual recovery usually is in northern minnesota swamp/forest land, so we have had a couple that have taken a days to recover. the walk is usually never more than a mile, but that can be in some fairly hostile areas.

it isn't the stigma, it is the fact it isn't a dvd if it doesn't fit into a standard drive. I don't care what it is, it won't work!

You are HALF right... They prefer you didn't send a letter, the other half about email and fax not being ignored hasn't changed...

1: being irresonsible and leaving unlocked weapons around.
2: not teaching the kids gun safety
3: not knowing what the kids were up to
You never know, it might actually work! The next step would be, imagine this, that parents would actually be responsible for their childs actions!!
ran mythTV for awhile, pain to set up, nice interface. still was stuck running a big noisy computer that was retrofitted for the purpose.
