I had a friend who was very quiet but one hell of a programmer and made his own circuit boards for his programs. I pushed an Amiga digitizer for him on my BBS. It was freeware, unless he constructed the board himself.
He was always asking if anybody wanted a program they needed, I got a printer buffer that showed how much was left to print, this after I printed some 200+ pages (dot matrix) and no clue when it would end.
He was working on car sensors, one would plug in a serial cable to their computer and it would show defects or problems, as far as I know he only used his car for this. I've noticed that this is a commercial product now (not his).
Last I talked to him he wanted a 3D map of Mt. Rainier, and was at a loss of how to do it; not with contour maps, nor a 3D printer (not out then) but how to scan the Mountain itself, just a tad eccentric.
I'd be very interested to know what he's up to now.
After all, hardly any computers comes with floppy drives anymore... so unauthorized access is almost completely prevented, better than any software encryption...:)
I consider myself fairly computer competent but the new mother boards have no floppy access, and the one I have a floppy connection on I can't get a floppy to work, not sure if it's me or the floppy drives being treated so badly in the past they just quit working.
I have lots of 3.5 Amiga floppies (thousands of em) but they take a special floppy as the format is an odd one: 790K not the normal 1.4Meg.
All of the FBI's case files are stored on 8" floppy and used with some type of CP/M workstations connected to a PDP/11.
There was a push a few years back to modernize the FBI's system, but the controactor ran over budget by something like 100+ million dollars, and they eventually scrapped the whole thing. FBI is back to 8" floppies again.
Not a troll, and I don't know if they ever modernized their systems yet. Probably get their 8" floppies from the same place the Air Force command get them (government warehouse filled floor to ceiling with 8" floppies guarded by snipers and attack dogs).
I can see this happening to the FBI, them using 8" floppies to start; having such a stock pile or library of them they continued to use them from whoever still sales them.
To transfer a vast amount of data from 8" floppies that at the most have just over 1 Mbyte storage http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L... would be a nightmare come true.
I can see the concerns of USB drives if autoplay isn't disabled, and other safe guards.
The really odd thing is the treasure department was reference for: ToolsTechniquesProceduresOfTheRSA_HackersRevealed-C5_APT_C2InTheFifthDomain.pdf plus, I also still have a PDF on how to set up NT to be secure, as the default install was very insure, this released by the FBI. >>

It stated that E=MC^2 also means Energy can be converted into Mass, and in the universe particles are popping up all over the place, and mass is gravity (not that this mass couldn't be dark matter)
Energy also can cause gravity, so the conversion process involved in e=mc^2, e.g. photons converting to a positron-electron pair, would not change total gravity involved (short of the fact you've now spread things out to different places).
No it might not change the total gravity involved but it would localize it.
It takes something to interact for this to happen, the interacting forces being mobile prior to this.
I'm not short on fact, just not as good a memory as I once had; it's replies like yours that help. and for that I thank you.
if a galaxy was x light years away at some point in the past and it's now 2x light years away due to space expanding, doesn't that mean space has been created between the galaxies, and doesn't that violate some fairly fundamental laws of physics?

I figure this article isn't misinformation and propaganda, but an avenue for an active discussion of dissent.
I read an article on North Korea not being responsible for the Sony intrusion; I'm fairly sure on http://arstechnica.com/ mayhaps within the article itself a key phrase used through out was "I can't believe I have to say this". Looking for the article I Googled: sony I don't beleve I have to say this" -with the misspelling or not
At this time of the first 20 hits or two pages, all call BS on the claim as well.
Even the http://www.drudgereport.com/ claimed below a link of the intrusion, that a fired employee was responsible (not mentioned in the link/article).
I'm convinced through the article linked from arstechnica.com (?), North Korea isn't responsible, if only for the fact it has no reason to be interested in Sony, movie or not.

The King James bible was a rewrite of the bible tossing out things like jesus creating a bird out of clay and it flying away, lots of BS was weeded out.
The above is BS. The KJV bible was a translation to English. Nothing more. Some say it was a poor translation, but it wasn't even the first, and was done nearly 100 years after the first English translation. The Apocrypha wasn't "removed" until over 150 years after the first KJV was translated. I think you might be talking about definition of canon though, which is entirely different and much older, reaching back to the time of the Romans.
They had a very nice traveling display of the bible through out history set up at the library, was very informative. Yes, it might of been from the canon, I trust it was after your reply:)
It happened because it has happened is tautological rubbish. That is akin to finding a car in a tree and deciding cars grow in trees because it has occurred. Just state we don't yet know how this occurred and remove this half-arsed explanation
Using the car-tree analogy isn't a good one. If a tree starts growing under a car it could very well become part of the tree. The tree will adapt to this foreign object.
You see it all the time (in pictures at least) items of all sorts being part of a tree. Well not a part of the tree, but embedded within.
I challenge anyone to show me where in the Bible it gives the exact birthdate of Jesus.

To answer your question, his birthday was considered Dec 25 as they couldn't stop the pagan celebrations of Dec 21 the day the sun stops it's disappearance (winter solstice), and made it his birthday to combine then take over the celebrations as a religious function.
This has happened all through out history; the Incan's being told to stop growing one of their main food staple Quinoa (Chisaya mama) as it was used in their pagan celebrations (non-Catholic) or be put to death, of course famine followed. Quinoa is considered a health food today and of great nutritional value.
"We’ve got a permanent space colony, inaugurated a year before the setting of the iconic movie 2001: A Space Odyssey."

I took the sleeping aid Lunesta (Ambien(eszopiclone)), I remember just about to hit the pillow and "came to" in a police station for DUI. Not only that, but I sideswiped one parked car and destroyed another within 500 feet of my place, with no memory of it.
The report claimed my pants unzipped, belt unbuckled and generally unkeep, hell I was lucky to of been dressed at all. I blew a 0 three times on a breathalyser which takes 45 minutes to recalibrate after each test (I have to take their word for any of that); it was the blood test that took me down, apparently I Ok'd it; a breathalyser is all I'm required by law and I knew that.
I had an ignition interlock installed that I had to blow into before the car would start, it was nothing but problems, from it's aluminum wire interface to the copper of the cars main power line to getting the blow down, I've sat many times trying to get the interlock to accept the "blow".
When I had it removed (a year later) they acted like it was the first time one was ever removed, it took my new drivers license as proof and even then they weren't that sure. As soon as I drove home I checked the splice and sure enough a 28 gauge wire was used to join a 10 gauge wire, and by it's connections I figure this persons first electrical experience.
$100 a month it cost to drive down and have the interlock read. Now they've gone to "ankle bracelets" that monitor a person 24/7 at $100 a week to be read.

4 hours of school here (at times)
Being an Air Force dependent I spent a lot of time overseas. The schools we attended couldn't handle the load, so the school days were split in two.
8-12 and 1 to 5 pm's it was so nice, in the Philippines I had the second "shift" and the base swimming pool was across the street, I'd swim all morning and then off to school.
My brother and sister had the first "shift" so we never saw each other till the evening.

Back before the internet, guys like this were generally only found in the back room of libraries, sorting incoming books and handling interlibrary loans - safely sequestered from the rest of society.
(My college job was at our university library, way back in the 1980s... no, at the front desk!)
Before public Internet access it also cost 10 a minute for a long distance phone call, but one could call into the modems at the Library to access the Internet (being an educational institute). Being safely sequestered from the rest of society (at home) I used to call into the Library modems then log into another Library at a different city/state, calling out from there to the BBS's found in that area; cost nothing for me or the Library.
(My college job was at our university library, way back in the 1980s... no, at the front desk!)
Yep my College job was being the "computer tutor" for a small room with maybe 10 computers, slack times I'd man the front desk which is a bit of fun.
Some older lady saved a blank *.Doc over her mid term assignment due that day, I told her it was gone and just work fast. Thinking about it Word kept a lot of backups, I ran undelete on her floppy and retrieved her assignment, I was her best friend for a few weeks:}
Now if someone can tell me the full list of domains I need to block to prevent DoubleClick (also from Google) from serving ads, I'd appreciate it.
I use a HOSTS file, it serves me well; quite large at this time. I also take the time to read a sites TOS they will tell you what to block (though one link says they don't mention Flash Cookies (or one of the three mentioned).
Read the TOS of ROVIO.COM (Angry Birds); "sent overseas" well where? When I last read it long ago it gave me a lot of sites to block; the most important being Flurry.com.
Angry birds (all of ROVIO.COM programs) collect your information then sells it to Flurry.com (It's Google) who in turn sell it to parties who wish to target ads to you.
Ever wonder why there are so many free game for your Cell Phone, they make money off of them selling to Flurry.com at the least. The information being sent or collected will or should be listed in a sites TOS. Most of the time you need to use your browser for Google's "Play Store" to get the website of the program your looking at.
I have always been under the impression that Jpg's and other graphic formats are already compressed (i don'thing BPM's are), and will sometimes grow larger if compressed again. Try this with a batch of Jpg or another graphic's format, it will be larger than the batch total. Sometimes by just a little; sometimes by a great deal.
Can't argue though as BPG seems to compress,while I figure with just more loss of the data you can see anyhow - JPG's line when it first came out.

You're correct about Adderall, they've had data on that going back to the '70s that it causes Parkinson's disease.
Adderall is just a mixture of right handed and left handed molecules of Dexedrine, but Adderall can also cause seizures Dexedrine doesn't.
Ritalin though, is perfectly safe when taken in therapeutic doses for most children with ADHD.
Nasty stuff that Ritalin. I took it right into depression, messes with the mind.

Yep my College job was being the "computer tutor" for a small room with maybe 10 computers, slack times I'd man the front desk which is a bit of fun.
Some older lady saved a blank *.Doc over her mid term assignment due that day, I told her it was gone and just work fast. Thinking about it Word kept a lot of backups, I ran undelete on her floppy and retrieved her assignment, I was her best friend for a few weeks :}
Would the Pebble fit your needs?
"apps compatible with iOS and Android",
Nice.
Now if someone can tell me the full list of domains I need to block to prevent DoubleClick (also from Google) from serving ads, I'd appreciate it.
I use a HOSTS file, it serves me well; quite large at this time. I also take the time to read a sites TOS they will tell you what to block (though one link says they don't mention Flash Cookies (or one of the three mentioned).
Read the TOS of ROVIO.COM (Angry Birds); "sent overseas" well where?
When I last read it long ago it gave me a lot of sites to block; the most important being Flurry.com.
Angry birds (all of ROVIO.COM programs) collect your information then sells it to Flurry.com (It's Google) who in turn sell it to parties who wish to target ads to you.
Ever wonder why there are so many free game for your Cell Phone, they make money off of them selling to Flurry.com at the least. The information being sent or collected will or should be listed in a sites TOS. Most of the time you need to use your browser for Google's "Play Store" to get the website of the program your looking at.
I have always been under the impression that Jpg's and other graphic formats are already compressed (i don'thing BPM's are), and will sometimes grow larger if compressed again. Try this with a batch of Jpg or another graphic's format, it will be larger than the batch total. Sometimes by just a little; sometimes by a great deal.
Can't argue though as BPG seems to compress,while I figure with just more loss of the data you can see anyhow - JPG's line when it first came out.
