Using tzedit changes not only DST for year 2005 till indefinite, it changes it for all previous years; so the worst case is your a criminal for altering legal documents.
Being a primarily a Linux Geek, I may get some of the subtilies of windows wrong, but as I understand it in the windows world the time zone definitions are in the Evil(tm) registry and they don't seem to understand the concept of the definition changing. Yesterday I just did all the machines at work, and the win 2K server had to be manually updated using a utility called tzedit.exe actually it was easy as pie to change just point and click to change the week and month for DST to change and the offset, but there was no place to change it for the period. That means that if you need to know the time something happened and you run windows, your fucked. If proving the time an email was recieved or sent means the difference going to prison or not on SOX matter your screwed kiss the wife, kids and dog goodbye and hope your lawyers are very good, because the windows fix isn't its just a cover-up for future events, it changes history. If your using windows for anything like accounting or legal it's stupid to use variable local timezones instead of fixed UTC, if the driods from marketing can't figure out what time the meeting is, would you really miss them? If I was a C level at a publicly held company you bet your sweet ass my company would be running on UTC right down to the wall clocks, we are in a global economy you know.
Calories are a measure of heat, degrees are a measure of temperature, it's easy for most people to confuse the two; they are related through the specific heat of a mass. At sea level it takes 1 calorie to raise a gram of water 1 degree C until you get to 100 degrees, then it takes 510 calories to boil that gram of water to steam at 100 degrees. That's why a steamer cooks faster than placing your food in boiling water, steam has more calories to give up to the food. It takes the same number of calories to boil a gram of water at any temperature. Ice doesn't boil technically, but it does turn into water vapor, a process called sublimation the heat required to sublimated a gram of water ice is the same as it would take to boil it as water. Put some ice cubes off to the side in the freezer for a few months, they will have shrunk noticeably due to sublimation.
US space craft generally run at 5 PSI and high percentage of O2, that's why they look flimsy compared to soviet/Russian spacecraft that run at 14.7 PSI and 20% O2 and look like dive bells. I have a hard time considering 5 psi as explosive
The divers blood under goes some very severe pressure changes, how every the people exposed to vacuum are in a very different situation because the skin and blood vessels are elastic the body will always be under some pressure. consider this normal systalic blood pressure is 1.76 psi, and the partial pressure of oxygen in the atmosphere is only 2.94 psi, it may be possible to put on a pressured helmet, and inflated bladder on your torso and spandex elsewhere and be able to function on 5 psi O2 without a full pressure suit!
Well there are stars, which put out a lot of highly energetic partials and atoms. Highly energetic partials and atoms are what most of us would call hot, they have a high temperature, what outer space doesn't have is density and a few partials at a high temperature in a large space results in very little heat.
Well actually the sweat/water would boil at first; and it takes 510 calories to boil a gram of water so you would get cold pretty quickly. Now the Hollywood version of people boiling inside their skins and exploding isn't going to happen, but a ruptured lung wouldn't surprise me. All that stuff in movies where the astronaut instantly ices up when is face shield cracks isn't going to happen either
I'd guess that the barrels are modified by being plugged with a plug with a small hole. I've used grenade launching cartridges in an M14 and they still weren't enough to cycle the bolt; the other advantage to the plug is it would reduce the risk of pilferage. I remember reading somewhere that most Hollywood machine guns actually ran on acetylene/O2 gas and a spark plug especially in 50 cal's in aircraft.
What surprised me was how much it hurt to be shot at with a M-16; I was in the pits on a known distance range and the sonic boom from the bullets passing over head 4 feet away was enough to start a brain-buster headache even with earplugs.
My pet peve with holleywood is mortars, they drop a 81mm down the tube and they put a little ploop on the sound track that sounds like a wine cork being pulled. a 40mm grenade launcher like a M79 or a M203 makes a little ploop but a mortar goes Ker-fucking-Boom loud enough to slap your cheeks against your gums.
I took the 2nd semester of Human Anatomy and Physiology, 100 level, series during a summer session. One of the older woman in the class had a 13 year old daughter for who she couldn't arrange a babysitter and was too old for the college daycare. She asked the instructor if her daughter could sit in on the classes and was grant permission dependent on the daughter's behavior. The child was surprisingly attentive during lectures, and eventually even asked intelligent and topical questions; and she was right there with us as we dissected fetal pigs in lab. Soon we came to our first hour test and the instructor just automatically handed the child a copy of the test. Yes that's right you guessed it she not only passed the test but went on to pass the course. The instructor who was the head of the Biology dept. pulled a few strings and got the child officially enrolled and credited for the course, so she entered High School with 4 hrs of college credit.
That makes the Business majors look pretty lame don't it.
I'm not sure it's the school system, as a society we take a kid, ween him off the tit and Mother's milk to a sippy cup full of Mountain dew or Coke, sit him in front of a television the majority of the day with a mother and father that works to make ends meet so there is no quality left in their time, and don't forget they really don't believe in punishment. Now we gnash our teeth and wail because the kids in school have no discipline and can only manage 15 minutes of concentration with the aid of amphetamines!
In a lot of places parents are afraid to spank their kids, even to depreciate life-threatening behaviors.
The real question is not whether there is a correlation but what the shape of the correlation is, and where the levels of CO2 and IR absorption saturation occur. Increasing the CO2 levels from 100 to 300 ppm will have more effect than an increase from 700 to 1000 ppm will.
Hate to break the news to you but we've only had Earth orbiting satellites for a few decades, but we've been looking at Mars for a lot longer with telescopes; so we probably have better historical data about the size of Martian polar "ice" than we do about terrestrial polar ice caps.
PS: I did climate modeling in grad school. If you think it's so bloody simple and we're all just idiots, let's see you build a model than predicts anything useful. Well it's certainly quite plausible that a lot of are skeptical simply because we have built computer models that have failed to predict anything useful; the whole field of chaos might not exists if computers could simply generate useless predictions repeatably.
heretics like him should be burned at the stake, the world would be much better of without the vile contrarian rants of the likes of Copernicus, Galileo and Newton!
oh you silly boy, this ain't no stinking fix this is just a cover-up! Apply the patches and all the time in the pre2007 DST period change too! Imagine telling the DOJ that you can't tell what time is actually in the logs when they are trying to catch some terrorist child pornographers downloading Britney Spears music, because Microsoft deployed a half-assed patch that change all the times in the computer; oh the humanity!
I think you better believe it, the patch is to edit the registry and change the definition of DST time, and anything that depends on Windows for time calculations is going to be seriously borked; this makes a good case for using GMT+5 and GMT+6 for my local timezones in WINDOWS.
Microsoft windows was designed for a personal computer, single user with no networking capability, and a personal computer has no need to be aware of other timezones. This problem is a result of that fundamental view-point along with all the security problems of trying to change from a personnel perspective to a networked perspective. Every sane operating system was designed to network, multi-user, and multi-task deep in their kernel.
Microsoft has a serious problem now, Vista runs in LUA , Limited User Account, mode and this breaks most legacy software which only runs in admin privileged accounts. The pain and suffering invovled in switching from WinXP running in admin to Vista's more manditory LUA is about the same as switching to a Mac or Linux, and people are thinking real seriously about alternatives; this timezone cluster-fuck comes at a bad time for them.
I downloaded the patch for Win2003 on my linux machine!, the patch for WinXP-SP2 (and only SP2) required "genuine advantage" to download. I did that on the wife's machine and forgot to use IE, so microsoft graciously offered to install a plug-in to Firefox. I declined, letting microsoft install firefox plug-ins seemed like letting your baby sister organize your porn collection.
Well the fix isn't identical for Win2K and WinXP, in fact you can't even patch WinXP-SP1 and Win2K you have to hand edit it; Win2003 and WinXP-SP2 has patches and they are pretty small. It may well be the reason you can't patch Win 2K and WinXP-SP1 is because the patch checks for those and is programmed to bomb-out if they're found rather than any code differencees. OBTW it's a cumulative time patch, not a specific and it's still pretty small.

OOPPS, I should have known when it was easier to fix the unsuported machine than the supported I'm sure I didn't reboot the win 2k server
Using tzedit changes not only DST for year 2005 till indefinite, it changes it for all previous years; so the worst case is your a criminal for altering legal documents.
our windowsXP SP1 machines took 6 reboots to get to zero updates!

Normally what happens is if something only has a 1% chance of killing you, the first one kills you and you get the 99 freebies after your buried.
