Actually it's probably having an effect right now, some places in the Amazon basin the water levels are down 50 feet! I'll admit it's to early to be certain, but it looks the cutting has reduced the rainfall in the rain forrest in Brazil and therefore the fresh water flow into the atlantic which is effecting weather patterns in North America, Greenland and Europe. A lot of the cutting is for illegal sugar cane to make ethanol for fuel!
We'll forgive you for being an heathen and infadel, but he spoke about Bar-Bee-Que not grilling. BBQ is a long slow smokey process where the meat is tenderly carressed by the gentle warmth and smokey goodness like make tender love until a mutual orgasm is achieved. Grilling is a fast searing thing, a whamm bam thank you mam, totally not like BBQ.
Most folks just can't afford to smoke enough ganja to kill them. You can't smoke weed to kill yourself silly, the semi-catatonic state stops you every time, well maybe if somebody else helped you might be able too.
Yes but the Halo-Organics have a strong tendency to concentrate over the poles due to the natural air circulation patterns which makes it much easier to sequester them with chemical packs in balloons and even ground stations. Considering the dynamics of the equilibrium of halogen-monoxides to ozone, I'm surprised they don't do it now.
Those guys are really whacked, on the surface of it they are seriously sugesting we put enough SOx into the atmosphere to disolve every limestone structure on the earth and rot out the lungs of half the airbreather as well as burn the gills of all the fish, hello fucktards SOx + HOH make sulphuric acid and thats a bad thing. Also since when did sulpur oxides in the air cool things, I thought they were one of the strongest greenhouse gasses as in Venus atmosphere of sulphuric acid and surface temperature of about 900 F.
I'd go for something reversable, that's not my Idea of reversable.
kewl magnetic ribbons that say "Demand Open Source Voting" placed on the sides of Diebold voting machines, that way everybody can wonder how !4tvg3^09=@87rgFNkw;l got elected president!
I figured I was hooked to some other DNS server because I was still resolving domain names, and I've done a complete reboot on my Linux machine; Your DNS is working for me, just not the way I lead to expect.
I still don't understand why this whole "Security through obscurity is evil!" sound bite it's not that "Security through obscurity" is evil, it's that a lot of people who claim "Security through obscurity" are really using obsurity to "secure" shoddy and insecure coding practices. There's been more than once I've been tempted to release a small scratch my own itch project to the community, then thought I'd hold off until I've had a chance to clean-up the code, which never happened. When you know that your work is going to be visible to the world, your priorities change.
Would you want your Rolex in a safe in the closet or in a safe that has an underwriters labs listing for 30 minutes of fire resistance and is on the GAO's list of approved models for classified document storage?
Don't put all your money on "hey! you've got the code!" -- because that's the least of the worries. Ahmen Brother, their worries should be about whether the new rapists will be able to migrate the data on the old rapist's system to satisfy 30 year documentation retention requirements from the FDA! Imagine having to recall all implanted medical systems with a particular lot number and discover that you have to hand audit 50,000 paper medical records because inventory and patent data didn't transfer properly to the new system.
It's strange to me that the article seems to think that it's the open part of OSS that they are wigging out about. When I was in the Army and National Guard, we had numerous heath and welfare inspections. Try telling a Drill Sargeant he can't look at anything he/she wants. Having a high grade security clearance is like living in a fish bowl, they flat out told me every telephone we had acess to was tapped, hows that for open?
I wonder how history would have changed if the Trojan Hourse had been covered in glass rather than wood?
has anyone noticed that 'they' are phasing out low-watt appliances in favor of higher consumtion ones I call that Americanitis, If enough is good, too much is better!
My wife went totally draconion over the post-Katrina heating bills and turned the thermostat down to 50, then just plain turned it off the last week in February; but the truth is by opening and closing the drapes at appropriate time you really can get the inside temps 30-40 degrees above outside without any real problems. This last 1st week of August OMG was it hot, I declared the upstairs bedrooms uninhabitable and lived in the livingroom for a week infront of the window air conditioner without AC the first day it was 95 in the living room 2 hours after dark, bedrooms upstairs were 115!
You seem fair knowlegable, what's your opion on this, our house is a tri-level, with one stale air return that's both too small and in the upstairs ceiling, in the winter the heat tends to be uneven with the upstairs too warm when downstairs is confortable, so what I thought about is putting a second thermostat near the return set on cool to turn on the blower when it got up past 75 up there and let the downstairs thermostat control the actual heating part of the furnice. I think this would even out the extremes, but its so simple I have a nagging suspicion that I'm over looking something or everybody would be doing it.
It doesn't matter, if it's a current meter, it measures current not voltage; even if it was a power meter, the 220v (I think) voltage in Britain is a bit more than the NA's 124Vrms/220Vrms system so it wouldn't actualy hurt the thing but may cause any wattage measurements to be off by half, if it uses powerline freq for timing, it'll be off by 6/5. If you really want to get technical we can argue over the differences between wattHour and Volt-Ampere-Hours and mathematics involved with Root Mean Square measures in the context of sampled vs. continuos.
My experiences with CFL have been very uneven, sometimes the name-brand bulbs crap out as fast as the no-name flea-markets special from china! The last batch of off brand CFL's I bought at Meijer's have out lasted some Sylvania's I bought at Lowe's. YMMV.
Actually the government doesn't care what the troops say as long as they aren't revealing operation data or giving the impression that their personal views are representative of the USG or are otherwise illegal. Ocasionally there are individuals in an organisation who may hold positions of authority who will try to improperly use their position to censor subordinates because of a personal agenda, which really is violating #2 giving the impression that their personal views are representative of the USG.
You are the only one who has come even close to understand what I said and you're still wrong. Once apon a time I had access to certain classified information the the KGB and GRU of the former Soviet Union was very interested in, like many other people. By conducting my affairs in a manner that assumed no privacy, nothing could be revealed by accident, by not being prdictable pattern meant I was difficult to approach by agents trying to compromise me through seduction, bribery, or blackmail and even less vulnerable to kidnap and subsequent torture than a ceature of habit would have been.
We're not talking about paranoia here we're talking about not being the "low hanging fruit". The FEDs that everybody is whining about abusing their rights to privacy, have no expectation of privacy, they know that there are plenty of "bad guys" out there with a vendetta against them; there's even plenty of good guys out there looking at everything they do or say under a microscope. Even common troops are bouncing between Iraq, Afganistan and Drug Interdiction Duties in South and Central America to get themselves on the bad guys radar.
The japanese have a saying "The nail that sticks up gets hammered", Americans in general have little idea of how not to be that nail. If Im not noticeable to the bad guys, I'm not noticable to the good guys either. I'm an unprofitable target, anybody snooping arround me is going to reveal much more to me by doing so than they'll ever discover about me.
The bottom line is Alexander Maryanovsky is a whine brat and Alexander Rabinovitch is a coniving asshole and it sounds like both need to be bitch slap and stood in the corner for an hour. If Rabinovitch paid the license fee, and got a contract he could have did it the way he's doing it anyways; or he could have kept the money and distributed the program IAW the GPL; there is no middle ground. Looks like the whiney brat is right to me; and both of them have enough ego for 5 people. What's up with the attitude that your so special that you should be able to take my code and not pay for it? How much it costs is outlined in the GPL, take it or leave it; nobody is twisting your arm.
Actualy it was the Government that taught me to assume my telephone was tapped, that the "bad guys" were always following me, that every conversation in public was recorded and ever private space was bugged. I rarely travel the same route twice in a row and the times I do routine things are randomized as much as possible. I'm gald that in our country I do these things more out of habit, rather than necessity like in many place of the world even today. I'm also glad that it's our right to privacy that's getting abused rather than our right to life; they can applogise for invading your privacy, but dead is dead.
Probably not, because vendors that do UI on the cheap to sell to clients on the cheap, have enough data lock-in that purchasing a more effective product later is difficult or impossible. Those companies tend to think of customers as prey rather than partners.
a mile of air at sea level isroughly equivalent to 3 feet of concrete Interesting, I would guess that's why underground nuclear detonations are so disapointing, they can't vaporize and superheat enough rock if a 1 mile air fireball is equivelent to a 3 foot rock fireball!
The other thing is these gov types are perfectly happy to let us believe things that aren't actualy true when it suits their porposes. I live in the city that has the country's fourth busiest boarder crossing and when I had my thallium stress test, the sign in the doctor's office said to expect delays when crossing the border for 4 days, due to the radiation being detected by customs! I think it's pretty obvious that we're better at detecting radiation at the border than the government is letting on.
It's been a couple days since I read the article about the Scandia guys, but if memory serves me correctly, the impression was the guy built it on his own rather than as some "officialy" sanctioned project. Wouldn't surprise me if some of the parts he used weren't "liberated" from one of the "junk" piles over at scandia, some of the coolest shit i've ever seen were in some junk piles over at the Marshal Space Flight Center, NASA junk piles are a geek treasure troves.
So your saying we need a Dracula? I think that would be overkill, but it would be satisfing to see some of the more heinious terrorist drawn and quarterd in the old english style, not much you can do with 72 virgins when you've been publicly castrated! Realisticaly we can just wait them out, when the oil runs out, the arab countries implode.
Muslims are ordered by their holy book to kill ALL infidels who refuse to serve Allah I do remember a passage that stated basic that infadels don't counnt as people because they are all going to hell, but infadels refers to non-believers in God so the Jews and Christians aren't infadels under Islam, they believe in God, the same God as the muslim does.
That's why I find it ironic that the biggest bible-thumping president I can remember is so hated by the Muslims and our country in the midst of a religious-revival and is being targeted as a nest of infadels!
