Jim Morrison, now that was a writer/singer! Excellent voice, too bad he was usually so drunk or high he was constantly off-key in the studio, on stage they just turned off his mic. Only two or three of his songs were actually close enough to normal that main-stream straights could stand to listen to them. Then of course he died early, but he got his "art" out to the public.
I'm no cryptographer but it seems to me that there are infinite possible encryption systems, keys and key length combinations, so any time you would double encrypt a file, there should be an equivalent system and key that would encrypt the file the same way in one pass, therefore you you should be able to break the encryption in one pass without the intermediate step. I would expect that double encrypting at 64 bit strength would be equivelent to single encrytion at 65 bit strength, and these strenghts are only suitable for diversions these days.
I remember that there was an system that was faulty and with some keys double encryption would result in the file being decrypted, but I can't remember which system it was.
I was thinking along the lines of taking something to make him ill; if memory serves me correctly a small amount of peanut oil injected into the gluteus maximus tends to cause people to spike an outragious temperature, and some syrup of epicac for vomiting should be enough to get someone out of the deposition and in to the hospital! Give him extra points if he actually vomits on the SCO lawyers.
The International Astronomical Union has been the arbiter of planetary and satellite nomenclature since its inception in 1919. The world's astronomers, under the auspices of the IAU, have had official deliberations on a new definition for the word "planet" for nearly two years. IAU's top, the so-called Executive Committee, led by Ekers, formed a Planet Definition Committee (PDC) comprised by seven persons who were astronomers, writers, and historians with broad international representation. This group of seven convened in Paris in late June and early July 2006. They culminated the two year process by reaching a unanimous consensus for a proposed new definition of the word "planet."
Owen Gingerich, the Chair of the Planet Definition Committee says: "In July we had vigorous discussions of both the scientific and the cultural/historical issues, and on the second morning several members admitted that they had not slept well, worrying that we would not be able to reach a consensus. But by the end of a long day, the miracle had happened: we had reached a unanimous agreement." The IAU draft definition of "planet" and "plutons"
The Geologists and Planetary Scientists may have had a few drinks in them but I suspect they weren't drinking with the astronomers and were upset more about not being invited to the party. I seems this goes a little beyond territorialism and into the specificaly snubbed catagory. I'm finding this a bit surprising, Astronomy is about the only remaining science where serious amatures can not only contribute significantly to the science, but be respected by the Pros for their contributions, then to have them include writers on the commitee, but appearently no planetary scientists is mind boggleing. Oh wait what have we here Dr. Richard Binzel, Professor of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Science at MIT, a MIT professor missed that, amybe he should go back and take Geo 101 for a refresher.
pluton, n: The ninth planet in sol's solar system in spanish!, I guess that means the astronomers haven't bothered with learning latin for a while either.
but then the point still stands because Eureka is supposed to be a summer season filler show; I like Eureka, but it doesn't seem to have the moxie to go full season. SciFi is killing their anchor show, SG1 is the show that they put on when they have nothing to put on, and we watch when their is nothing to watch.
There's no reasonable way to tie up all the loose ends even with a movie, they've got enough loose ends to last for five seasons now. I think that SG1 and atlantis is more than they can handle and atlantis is starting to get gain traction and SG1 has been losing traction so they're going with the trend. They blew it by promoting O'Neil, Hammond was much more believeable in the "Technical Project Manager" type AF General who got stuck in a tactical sitzuation than O'neil was as the Tactical Commander stuck in a technical project. Would have been better to blow out his knee, take him off combat duty for disability and send O'Neil to the pentagon to fetch coffee for Generals; that way Anderson could have had his family time.
Then wouldn't it make more sense to download something like GMT, Generic Mapping Tool to make you maps, charts and graphs to professional standards with, and then type-set them with something like the scribus desktop publishing system and export the slides to a PDF for printing and display? I guess I just think of power point slides as about equivelent to ruled 3 holed notebook paper, somethings notes are written on and the pre-printing is more or less an altenative to hand drawn pictures.
I aways thought of a powerpoint as a sort of lecturer's summary or an outline that had enough open space on the slide for the audience to actually wrtite notes about the presentation without marking up the real paper which would have the high data/information density.
you should talk to your doctor about adjusting your medication dosages, we think your getting too much or too little of something; you see when we burned the oil, that gave us extra water and carbon dioxide to burn later so we should be OK for quite a while.
In 2003 Steorn undertook a project to develop more efficient micro generators. Early into this project the company developed certain generator configurations that appeared to be over 100% efficient. Further investigation and development has led to the company's current technology, a technology that produces free energy. The technology is patent pending.... Steorn is making three claims for its technology:
1. The technology has a coefficient of performance greater than 100%.
2. The operation of the technology (i.e. the creation of energy) is not derived from the degradation of its component parts.
3. There is no identifiable environmental source of the energy (as might be witnessed by a cooling of ambient air temperature).
The sum of these claims is that our technology creates free energy.
This represents a significant challenge to our current understanding of the universe and clearly such claims require independent validation from credible third parties.
the above from their web site Our Technology page doesn't sound as whacko as the yahoo write up, just the same since it's patent pending there is no reason to be tight lipped about it, nobody else can patent it now, infact nobody can patent it period in the United States because perpetual motion machine are unpatentable under our laws or patent regulations. For all we know this thing could be sucking energy out of some kind of parallel universe by opening a portal the vicious space aliens will enter and pulverise us with mu meson beams or something. Most likely somebodies calculator needs a firmware upgrade to fix a round-off error problem.
Research done by a professor in my former school also (apparently) showed that it is less physically addictive than nicotine. isn't nicotine the gold-standard for physical addictivness? While nicotine whithdrawl isn't the most spectacular, it's definatenly one of the longest with symptoms typically last a year or more. When I stopped smoking weed and hashish it was a matter of just deciding to stop, nicotine has been a real fight. I've gone though the patch treatment this time and seems like I'll make it, but some days are still bad ones with lots of physical symptoms and that's after being off the patch for a month.
First it's a lot easier and takes less mediction to keep a minor amount of pain from beocoming a major amount than it is to turn a major amount of pain into a minor amount, secondly being IV delivered, pain control is extremely quick unlike an oral based med that takes 15-30 minutes to kick in so people are less likely to dose prophylacticaly in anticipation of expected painand lastly the computer in the pump keeps the patient from going over a prescribed limit. So the patient is only self-administering within strict limits.
it will not be sluggsh hard-drives or condensation causing shorts, both will be a problem given time, but before they do, what's mostly likely to blow out the computers is the electrolytic capacitors freezing and shorting out due to ice swelling. Make sure the motherboards cards and power supplies are rated for the temps expected and expect them to be very expensive mill-spec stuff. Otherwise keep them in a heated enclosure kept above freezing.
I assumed that when the script did the ET phone home thing the 'puter it called just logged the time and visible IP address and a id number so the could tell which machine it was; silly me would be much better to get complicated and prone to failure.
You know i agree, if I could find an LCD in 16:9 with the same vertical height as my 4:3 35 inch CRT I might be tempted to think about an upgrade but the fact is that the increase in price doesn't seem to be matched by a similar increase in picture quality. The most of displays models at the big box stores are so horribly adjusted,you'd think the manufactures would be sueing them for defamation of product, must be that they don't want to sell certain models. At least the LCDs seem to have the potential to be as good picture wise as my CRT,plasmas seem to be a step down in picture quality.
with music getting played on the radio for "free" it's hard for me to get excited about a bootlegged copy of a cd or a party cd of MP3's; even thoe I know it;'s technically wrong. If these guys at the 'AAs think the schoolyards are a nest of pirates, they should visit a few factories arround here.
With comcast its actually cheeper to get the economy package TV and internet than internet alone; appearently the filter to limit the basic cable down to economy blew-out and we're now getting everything exect the pay channels anyways.
years ago a website I ran got hacked so of course I couldn't trust any files on the server and reloaded the site by FTP via sattelite; what a nightmare. FTP uploading lots of smallish php file with a chatty protocol like FTP and 500 mS ping times made the process insufferable; far better to use dialup for that than sattelite!

he's full of it, he said teaching school children powerpoint is better than teaching them to smoke!
Obviously the two are about the same
I did about 5 months of powerpoint stuff in the army (after which i was released for mental health reasons.. =\) yeah that'll do it.

I thought Dr. Kevorkian, had pretty well fixed that, in fact in Michigan it's illegal for M.D.s not to control pain
First it's a lot easier and takes less mediction to keep a minor amount of pain from beocoming a major amount than it is to turn a major amount of pain into a minor amount, secondly being IV delivered, pain control is extremely quick unlike an oral based med that takes 15-30 minutes to kick in so people are less likely to dose prophylacticaly in anticipation of expected painand lastly the computer in the pump keeps the patient from going over a prescribed limit.
