Has any one read a meeting with Medussa? or it is kind of mentioned in adoyysey II by Arthur C. Clarke.
Basically he makes many references to these giant animals (or plants) in jupiters atmosphere, and gives the facts to why they could actually be there. They are extremly light because they are made of giant bubbles or something.
There is a whole system going on with Grazers and herders and Carnivores.
Very interesting, anyone who has read the book lately care to enlighten?
I tried to download some Warez once,
but I could never find out were exactly to download a game at! it would say download, and you click it, and it opens 50 windows of different sites, then you try somewhere else and it does the same thing, I tried for like a hour, but could never actually get to the point of downloading something or acces to an FTP archive.
Any one want to help a poor gamer out??
Is this used so that it is alot harder for Companies to be able to find out who exactly is letting people download their games?
I remember this from last year too,
what is it, like a geeks wish list or something?
How about a set of Klipsch Promedia speakers and a SBLive?
Actually my christmas list goes as such-
1. SBlive
2. AltecLansing 5 speaker system set
3. Cambridge Subwoofer
4. Java: a beginers guide -by Herb something or other
5. I still have 50$ bucks left, and idea's for a 15 year old computer enthusiast?
Anyone care to Beta-test for them?
You will probably have to have a 10,000 watt power-supply and a heat-sink the size of a 3-story house, not to mention an atxxxxxxx case and power-supply.
I remember on a program on TLC they had a guy who claimed he had worked with Flying Saucers.
The basic way in whcih he explained how they work is that there were 1,2 or 3 of these tubes that had a type of machine or something that was attracted to even the slightest gravity, and could be variably controlled.
So what would happen is to float in air, they would aim one of these tubes at,say, the sun, and one at,say, the moon and the control the amount of gravitational attraction until the craft just floated there.
Then to go fast, they would turn on their side, and 2 tubes would be aimed at a star in the same area of the sky in which they wished to travel, and one at say the Sun in order to keep them off the ground, and crank up the attraction towards that star, and off they went!
It was a very interesting show because the guy was able to explain an awful lot on how they (UFO's)
worked.
couldn't this be written into some kind of a firewall script?
I'm not an expert (actually only 15)
but couldn't it be set up to drop access at random or periodically not alow access to certain ranges of addresses.
Also, just run the firewall in a old 8086 with a 1-megabit network card or something
They used that on the movie "Flubber" with Robin Williams,
it looked really complicated at the time, but now that I know how to touch type,
I realize it wouldn't be that hard to master
Thanks man
Anyone wanna give up a sec and teach me how to do that? (html link)
Just put a space in it or something so Slashdot will not see it as an actual link.
Thanks
you can download the original Unix right before the BSD split right here
http://www.abandonkeep.com/os/All.shtml?x=10&y=8 sorry I don't know html, or I'd dress it up for ya as a nice happy link
at that site you can also download
linux.14 &.99
ICQ.99
Mosaic
Windows 1-3
Dos 3-6.22
NT 3.10
IBM DOS and CALDERA Dos
OS/2 1.00
And all other kinds of nifty stuff
aswell as a wealth of old games
My parents almost did that,
we move trees (www.instanttrees.com for pictures) with a treespade in Cincinati, Ohio
they were digging a whole with the treespade in front of a McDonalds, and some guy came running up and yelling at them.
Ended up they almost cut a giant Fiber between Texas and Michigan or something.
would use a UHF sender and reciever.
It doesn't require line of sight, so its not like Infra-red, and you could probably get disant bandwidth (9600 baud)
you could most likely get the parts from a disected UHF remote-control.
because when they put the characters in front of a fake background (remember Dukes of Hazard?), you won't be able to tell as quickly because all digital camera shots look the same, right?
As a tribute, we should all ping Micrsoft.com for 1 minute, starting at exactly 4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, or exactly 15 minutes from the time of this post.
What about mining Cruithne? You know, the second moon of Earth it was on Slashdot about 9months ago) Its rather big, and right around Earth, so it would be good for a first try.
Actually, for a long time I thought GNUtella was some weird Venerial disease, until someone pointed out the GNU and then tella
I was pronouncing it GA-NUT-ELLA
What I would do is get me an old 486, make it completly solid state (no HD (use Ran of Flash disk or something) no cd, and take all the fans out), connect it to a UPS, put it somewhere such as the back corner of the attic, or that icky corner of the basement.
Now install linux on it, and put as many RS-232 ports in it you can (there are cards you can but that have 2 or 3 ports to a IRQ, don't argue, I have a book right next to me that talks about them). Set up laser trip wires in the house at hip level (so not to let it get set off by cats), pressure pads in the carpet, and door open detector do-hickeys. Write a perl or Python script to check the serial ports every so many.1's of a second to se if they have been tripped.
Now, have an old voice modem in there, and have it call either you or the police station and play a.wav file explaining the situation and where you live. And if you wish, have it set off a speaker in the house saying the police have been alerted and on the way, or have it play some UZI gunfire recordings;-)
Just my idea
Yes, But can you say it runs Linux?
Just like when I want to put a computer for MP3's in my car
"Logan, why don't you just get an MP3 player?"
"But, do you have a computer in your car?"

I've used www.workspot.com before oveer a modem, and be able to get by. It's a little slow, but I've even loaded up star-office and everything.
