My Grandfather swore by cow-magnets on the meter enclosure, and he worked for Detroit Edison. If the old fashioned cow-magnets worked imagine what the new niobium-rear-earth magnets of today would do. Personally I think it;s an old-wives tail, but I've never checked it empirically.
This system is supposed to used biometric scanners to prevent cheating by people punching in other people, much more complicated and will probably never work. My preferred approach is to used a COS card-swipe system and if you ever catch somebody punching in somebody else, you throw them in prison for fraud and embezzlement.
I've read the article twice and it doesn't support it's own conclusion, if you except as a given that the NSA is bad, a loose cannon in regards to real American's rights it follows logically, if you don't think the NSA is inherently bad the article just panders to the tinfoil hat crowd. Google, an American Corp, and many other Corporations were attacked by an entity that appears was either the Chinese Government, a proxy of the Chinese Government or an entity specifically trying to make it look like the Chinese Government for their own nefarious purposes. Getting the "big guns" involved to help sort out the mess is the only reasonable response, it's what they are supposed to do and what they do.
The Information Assurance mission confronts the formidable challenge of preventing foreign adversaries from gaining access to sensitive or classified national security information. The Signals Intelligence mission collects, processes, and disseminates intelligence information from foreign signals for intelligence and counterintelligence purposes and to support military operations. This Agency also enables Network Warfare operations to defeat terrorists and their organizations at home and abroad, consistent with U.S. laws and the protection of privacy and civil liberties. Mission
I don't see where "the American people need to be spied on" is part of their mission, in fact they've done some pretty major work like SElinux to keep Americans from being spied on, by anybody. If you don't like what the NSA is doing, write your congressman and have him change the laws.
How about a shot that lets you realize there is no God and therefore no reason to become a suicide bomber and we can cure you of that pesky Negroism while we're at it too? Curing color-blindness is pretty much a no-brainer, where it logically leads is YMMV territory. You you like a shot that lets you play nice with your school-mates or continue to be a miserable, picked on loner that hates school and grows up to be a lowly patent clerk who then reinvents the science of physics, oh yeah your parents get to decide because your only 7 years old.
Ocean water is pretty gets anoxic too much below the surface anyways and at the surface both photosynthetic algea and frothing from the wave-action keep a lot of O2 in it.
Probably not because the bubbles reflect visible light back. CO2 is a supposed problem because the ground absorbs the energy visible and IR and re-radiates part of it back as Infrared that the CO2 absorbs and scatters, the visible light passes through the CO2 unscattered.
Actually all of North America has more trees the before Europeans came. Most Industrial Forresters plant 2.5 trees for everyone cut, they make money cutting mature lumber not running out of trees to cut. Even the American Indians would cut and burn old stagnate unproductive growth to allow productive vigorous new forrests to replace them.
Water vapor has a huge heat of evaporation and is actually lighter than air, 28.8 gm/mol vs 18 gm/mol, this alows it to carry vast amounts of heat well above the insulating CO2 release it and fall back as rain. Striking example of this heat pump effects are thunder-storms, tornadoes and hurricanes where warm moist air from the lower troposphere is violently shot up into the cold dry lower stratosphere. Mind boggling amounts of heat energy is moved by this effect.
There is ZERO chance that increased CO2 in the atmosphere does not directly result in increased solar energy retention. It is a FACT that we release huge amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere.
Dude there hasn't been significant global warming for the last 15 years, and depending on how you measure the temperature it been getting cooler. Even if you do want to decrease atmospheric CO2 what better way than to put it into the seawater where the algae will turn it into fishfood?
You have to be careful here, most countries would consider the use of this a chemical attack and respond, perhaps in kind. If your shooting capsicum, and the "bad guys" shoot a nuke or VX nerves back, guess who is going to wish they never started.
Well if you want to see what eating one is like this guy eats a naga morich and a Bhut Jolokia, you can actually see him getting high off the endorphins.
The new eco-friendly, no-lead M885 5.56 rounds the Army is using in Afghanistan will not even punch through a car's windshield. on one instance over 400 rounds hit a light truck yet failed to even scratch the driver. It appears that the Army feels the new rounds are as deadly when a soft target is hit,
“If you hit a guy in the right spot, it doesn’t matter what you shoot him with,” said Maj. Thomas Henthorn, chief of the small arms division at Fort Benning, Ga., Smaller-caliber bullets come under fire
but unfortunately the new rounds get soft and/or melt in use
In the M855A1 LFS bullet’s design, the bismuth-tin alloy sits beneath a steel penetrating tip. A copper jacket encases all but the point of the bullet. The round was designed to work specifically with the M4 carbine. Army officials have maintained that the new round will provide more “consistent performance” than the current M855 round and perform better against hard targets.
The problem surfaced when some of the bullets did not follow their trajectory or planned flight path.
“During ballistic testing of production LFS cartridges, we noticed that some projectiles occasionally varied from the intended trajectory,” Woods said. Temperature issues arise for lead-free slug
so it's pretty hard to hit what you're aiming at with them. Personally if I had to chose between a round that bounced of windshields like the 5.56 and a round that penetrate 12 inches of oak tree like I've seen the 7.62 do, I have to go with the 7.62 also.
I think the bottom line is the electrical grid is in serious need of upgrading, it's fragile, there is no redundancy and there is no real security either physical or in the control systems. It's fallen down twice in the North East US and fallen hard, once in 1965 and then again even bigger in 2003. Obama campaigned on some renewable energy planks, which will be blue smoke and mirrors without infra-structure upgrades to the grid. Right now the way things are what a software attack doesn't do, a physical attack will and what that doesn't do the next big CME with a negative z component will. Shooting the messenger doesn't change the message.
From the sounds of it he just googled a bunch of stuff up on our electrical infra-structure wrote about it. Amazing what you can find if you look hard enough and who you can upset by connecting the dots. I've got a map freely available from the DOE National Renewable Energy Lab that would give these guys nightmares!
The Geneva Convention does not apply to them because they are not uniformed combatants openly displaying arms in a military action declared by a government, yada, yada, yada. Either try them for criminal activity and send them to a super-max prison or show them a video of what a super-max is like, tell the that the country they were captured in is no longer at war with us and send them home. Gitmo is probably a country-club compared to what they are used to living like anyways, and the dribbs and drabs of intel isn't worth the PR hit.
Penis envy, there I said it oh those 72 virgins too we're envious of those too, so we torture genitals to compensate. My all time favorite is tying a noose around the genitals, tying their hands behind their backs and setting them on a tall stool, after 30 to 36 hours they fall a sleep and off the stool. Then we let them sleep for a half hour hanging by their balls then back up on the stool. Sooner or later they become one of the 72 virgins for the successful terrorists. OBTW Cuban salsa music is the bomb!
Just figure out if there were a coordinated attack that cut off electricity to many major cities at the same time. It would make what happened in New Orleans when Katrina had struck just an exercise.
There is a pretty good template here at Northeast Blackout of 2003 on how to take out power to 55 million people; just substitute shot-out high-tension insulators for power-line tree contact. It easy to dog on authorities for being over-zealous but when you compare "what has been done" to "what could be done" multiplied by " how many whack-jobs would like to do it" it's hard to blame them.
Xenix was a 16 bit Unix variant pretty much SRVR3 style, SCSI or IDE but not both on the same system, Bourne shell but no Bash, probably TCL but no Perl, more but not less are the things that pop inti my mind. The file system topography is a nightmare of symlinks and the interesting user files are probably in/usr rather in/home or/srv. The first thing I would try is to set up a serial link between the two machines and tar the filesystem pipe it through the serial port to the Linux box and capture it to a file there or multi-volume
to the floppy disk, then just un-tar it and have fun on the copy; if that didn't work I get serious and dd the whole disk through the serial port. last resort would be to remove the hard-drive and try to mount -txenix it on a linux box.

The findings are published in Nature Genetics. They are based on the largest-ever autism genome scan. Over 120 scientists from over 50 institutions who formed the Autism Genome Project (AGP) performed the research.... Researchers speculate that there may be five or six major genes and as many as 30 other genes involved in autism. Gene That May Lead to Autism Identified
The American Journal of Human Genetics publishes the findings in its Jan. 10 online edition, which also features two studies from research teams at Yale and Johns Hopkins that used different methods that pinpointed the same gene. The coincidence suggests that the gene, called contactin-associated protein-like 2 (CNTNAP2), likely plays a key role in the development of autism. New Genetic Link To Autism Discovered By Studying Speech
the study, which appears online on March 22 in advance of publication in the April print issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation, Teiichi Furuichi and colleagues show that mice lacking CADPS2, which is encoded by a gene in the autism susceptibility region of human chromosome 7, had impaired social interactions (when pairs of CADPS2-deficient mice that had never met were placed together they interacted substantially less frequently than pairs of wild-type mice that had never met), hyperactivity, and decreased exploration of a new environment; all of which are characteristics of individuals with autism. New Protein Implicated In Autism
The research was led by Dr Bhismadev Chakrabarti and Professor Simon Baron-Cohen from the Autism Research Centre in Cambridge. 68 genes were chosen either because they were known to play a role in neural growth, social behaviour, or sex steroid hormones (e.g. testosterone and estrogen).... The research found that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 27 out of the 68 genes were nominally associated with either AS and/or with autistic traits/empathy. 10 of these genes (such as CYP11B1) were involved with sex steroid function, providing support for the role of this class of genes in autism and autistic traits. 8 of these genes (such as NTRK1) were involved in neural growth, providing further support to the idea that autism and autistic traits could result from aberrant patterns of connectivity in the developing brain. The other 9 genes (such as OXTR) were involved in social behaviour, shedding light on the biology of social and emotional sensitivity. Asperger Syndrome, Autism, And Empathy: Study Links 27 Genes
Autism Spectrum Disorders are a very diverse set of symptoms ranging all the way from profoundly Autistic, Low Functioning Autistics, LFA, and Rett Syndrome and being completely nonverbal and have almost nonexistent motor skills to PDD-NOS Pervasive Developmental Disorder - Not Otherwise Specified who would appear to be slightly clumsy, not real social, and dislikes being interrupted when concentrating on something.
If Einstein were alive today, he'd probably be diagnosed as Asperger's or PDD-NOS. Many aspects of or modern society actually favor an Autistic cognitive style, Michael Burry is a good example, Scion Capital made 300% while the S&P 500 made 10%. With the computer and Internet, Face-to-Face socialization isn't as necessary as it was twenty years ago.

No O2 exchange will not be a problem, when an aquarium get hypoxic, you blow tiny air bubbles into the water to increase the oxygen level.
Nah, just light the rocket from 11 AM to 1 PM every day, are we there yet?
