The point is lets for arguement's sake say I'm a comcast customer, which I actualy am, when I connect to a content provided by comcast I expect that the servers will provide the content as fast as the servers and comcast's own intranet will allow. I expect the the comcast's content will be much faster the google's content because google traffic has to cross google's intranet, the internet backone bottle neck and then comcast's intranet. If comcast were to say to google, "your customers on comcast broadband would get better service from you if you rented rackspace at our datacenter and brought in a dedicated OC768." I'd have no problem as long as every packet on a network segment recieved no preferential treatment based on origin or destination. If all vidio IP, VoIP, HTTP and FTP packet were treated like every other like classed packet I'm fine. When comcast starts adding a penalty to packets going to others throught their network I'm not fine because I'm not getting what I thought I was paying for. I'm saying that knowing that I've downloaded some stuff from some very high-powered government server and the fastest I've ever gotten is 469Kbs out of a 3Mbs possible; and I'm sure comcast is scared shitless that everybody will figure out that they should be able to download at that rate on a pretty much continuous basis.
That's not what he's saying at all, he's say that after 1. paying ATT 29.95 a month for 768k DSL, and 2. I decide to use some of that bandwidth to say to google do this search for me and send the results to me over the internet, 3. Google sends it over the internet bandwidth that they have paid for, 4. Google should have to pay ATT to get the data over the last mile to me; ATT wants me to pay them for a months worth of two-way bandwidth, then wants google to come in and pay for one way again.
They literaly want to be paid for 3 ways when only 2 ways are possible. I can sympathise a bit when the bandwidth is going to vonage who is in reality a competitor, the reality is they should have known this would have happened before they got into the business.
HP used to be a company of engineers, making products for engineers and scientists, they turned into a company of marketer making things for consumers so the CEO could flip stock options, now these seem to be trying to find a profitable middle-ground now that Carly is gone.
Even before that, half of the graphics on SCO's was the same as on Novel's site. The graphics mysteriously change about a week after I Emailed novel about it.
I was on fire six weeks ago you insensitive clod; I remember putting out the flames, I remember pulling my hand out of the water, the ten or 15 seconds in between is like they didn't exist.
Engineers have a saying "Anybody can build a bridge that stands, but it takes an Engineer to build a bridge that barely stands"; so the question is how many public school students need accounting software with the functions and utilites to perform engineering calculations, when it's improbably that they will ever calculate double declining balance depreciation?
Microsoft offered $30 Million in *SOFTWARE* license accounting for the value of the asset at a standard "lesser of purchase price or market value", given that OpenOffice costs $0.00, thus establishing market value, The value to the school districts is zero! Boy is that ever a good deal!
I have to disagree, a good solid base in fundementals is the most useful in the long term. My experence has been that people who only used OpenOffice to learn are more productive than people who only learned Ms Office when using Ms Office. It' like learning Latin, it's then easier to learn Spanish, Italian and Portugese vs. learning Chinese then trying to learn Spanish, Italian and Portugese.
with CVD a diamond 2m x 4m would be insanely expense and take what would seem like forever to make; with De Beers it's unavailable at any price. Also those dirt-dug diamonds have flaws, not something you want when you're trying to make 10GHz CPU chips.
CO2 is a very usefull industrial solvent and gas, as a liquid solvent it's used for every thing from dry-cleaning clothes to degreasing everything imaginable. It's more common solid form maybe used for a refrigerant or even as a blasting media, sort of like sand-blasting and the sand evaporates away after being used rather than needing to be swept up! Most industrial CO2 is made from decomposing limestone, or from burning natural gas. The interesting thing about extracting CO2 from limestone is the lime byproduct scavenges CO2 from the atmosphere resulting in a closed-loop system!
If you wanted to reduce CO2 in the atmosphere, the best way would be to simply pump air down near the bottom of the ocean! The CO2 at those presures and temeratures liquify and sink, the rest of the air just bubbles to the surface. Don't think of this as practicle, but it is possible.
So we now have this really neat-o material that's almost as hard as diamonds, almost as strong as diamonds, more difficult to make than Diamonds, and unlike diamonds is unstable at temeratures and preasure where it's properties might be usefull! Which brings use to the stupid question; Why don't we just use diamonds?
In case you can't tell, I really love stupid questions.
just remember those guys at emperor aquatics are interested in pathogen control in an aquarium or koi pond without killing the livestock, for plain drinking water it's hard to beat a mechanical filter followed by good ol' bleach or boiling.
Are these LEDs a screw-in replacement or are they more complicated. Also by have the existing stacks clause, I expect it'll be a long time before the LEDs are wide-spread,incandescent traffic signal bulbs laast a hell of a lot longer than anything I've been able to buy for use in the house.
That's what you really want, your job is too comfortable, too predictable, too much happens right. Every once in a while we want and need a project that's crashing and burning but savable, to give us that "mighty mouse" "here I come to save the day" rush and the deeper sense of accomplishment that comes from being able to say "if it was easy, then anybody could have done it, but I had a lot of help from the team". Too many and you become a burned-out crispy critter, too few and you become unsatified and unchallenged.
well I suppose that one could argue that security failures tend to be failures in accountability of materials and data and proceedures, both of which should not only be highly embarassing to the scientists whose professional reputations depend on the veracity of their data and the strict adherence to scientific method, troubling to the administrators responsible for managing the scientists and security. Additionaly it could be argued that because these guys research is often classified and unable to be peer reviewed that the reputation of the personnel and institution is even more necessary. Otherwise it's much ado about nothing.
you know if I got a shove and dug done about a thousand feet into the ground I'd hit salt, right under where I live. Where'd that salt come from, the answer is the ocean, either the sea level went down or the ground rose up and a big pocket of the ocean got cut-off from the rest of the sea and the water evaporated, leaving the salt behind. Now I'm about 500feet above our present sea level. Finding these salt deposits is pretty easy, just find an oil or gas well and chances are pretty good the well drilled through a salt dome to get to the oil.
Considering that a 50Kt nuclear warhead has to be detonation with a 300m of a typical ICBM silo to achieve a 50-50% of knocking out the ICBM; I can assure you that both the US and Russia has far more detailed maps of ocean Height, depth, currents and gravity potentials in the artic than any place on Earth and those maps are so highly classified that neither will ever admit they even exist. Since its radar atlimetery from a satelite, my guess is geodic.
no that's not what happens, because the Ice is less dense, it floats with a portion above the water level that's equal in mass to the density difference. As the ice melts, the level of the water remains constant; in the real world things are slightly more complicated because ice is rare, what is common is an ice-air composite, when water/gass mixtures freeze, bubbles of gass are often trapped in frozen ice. When ice-air composites melt, the air escapes and this can slightly reduce the water level. Artic icepack and glacial ice are normaly blue-ice which contains little gasses due to compression forces cause fractional crystalization, and artic ocean water is salt water, so with fresh pure ice melting in saltwater with variable salinity gradients, what happens is I don't have a clue what happens! Almost anybody who says they have a clue what happens, and haven't run experiment to see what happens, probably doesn't have a clue either.
I had more than a few aquaintences back in the '70's, who thought the IMF was some evil plot by the Trilateral Commision to establish a new world order dominated by an evil one world government for the purpose of allowing multi-national companies from Europe, America and Japan Free reign to turn the world into a peon colony including the USA; in other words a plot to over throw the American Government!. Those people were generaly labled ultra-conservative right-wing Whackos, now they'd almost fit in with our left-leaning Democrat mainstream voters. I'm wounded to think that the world considers that pack of vampires is doing our bidding rather than sucking us dry.
I did think about the numbers and what your paying for water is about $10.00 a month less than what I'm paying, and I'm makeing twenty times as much, it really seems like a receipe for revolution to me. If those rates were scale to our income levels, our courts would over turn the contract as unconscienable or the property would be condemed under eminate domain and returned to the government. I'm not sure if your legal system allows such contingencies as I assume your legal system derives from the spanish system, and ours from the british system.
Our state has a Public Services Commision, appointed by the government, and it regulates what public utilities such has as natural gas, Electricity, Telephone can charge and how much profit they can make; the water company would easily fit under that catagory. I'm normaly free-market, but my hunch here is Bechtel, over-bid the purchase price on purpose and planned on rate-hikes to finace it; Bechtel and cost-over-runs, shoddy work and other scandels seem to go th gether, I will not cry for them if they get their asses handed to them.
The other thing I noticed was because of my background, I'm retired military, mostly National Guard where I recieved extensive training in Roit Control, and as a Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Defense NCO, much more training in the use of tear gasses like CS, is that unless the accounts were highly exagerated, they used way to much tear gas. Tear gas should be used to control a riot, not to punish rioters; punitive use often leads to panic situations where people get hurt. Frequently the people who get hurt are good ordinary people that are arrosed by their passions to act out of character, not the one or two in the background inciteing the riot. My own views, not the US government's ect.

Just think about how good it will look on your resume when you apply for a job as a developer in the Linux shop down the street!
