I use XFS to spite SCO, but I agree, and was impressed with EXT3's general performance in areas that I typicaly use. You know if they did things like making sure that the partions being used most are centered on the disk, like we did in the old days it would probably make as much difference.
A journaling file system for squid caches seems like over-kill what's the rational for Reiser with a historic slowness with smallish files over ext2; isn't that kinda like doing back-ups on/tmp?
Typicaly what happens is the new doctors take this test called "the state boards" to get liciensed to practice. When the administration has a good relationship with its students, many of these new doctors talk to their professors about what was on this very long and difficult test. When the professors know what's on the boards, they modify their courses to match and the passage rate for the school goes up and the program is more marketable. I wish I had a nickel for every time I heard "you'll see this on the State Boards, but never see it again." Dental school is a huge investment for the students, so how many pass the boards per enrolled student is the real important metric. If professor Asshole's students are more likely to pass his/her portion of the boards than professor Niceguy; students had better sign-up for professor Asshole!
From what I've seen in the lower 48, that's pretty much it. Normal expressway driving is a constant density wave and First snow is a disaster. Sure a few people know how to drive, but they are the expeption rather than the rule,
Seems like they could assign the debt to a collection agency for a percentage collected, the guy is if Florida so just hire an agency in Florida, actualy collecting 0.01% of 11.2 billion is still pretty good for a regonal ISP
Why would any sane judge hand down an $11billion judgement against an individual who isn't Bill Gates and doesn't have the capacity to pay? Judges have to rule based on the ther arguements heard, the law, and legal presidents. When you've made the judge's email inbasket unusable for a decade your shit might be pretty weak, but that is not supposed to apply. As for why the government is on the top of the pile I guess it's the "your first after me" principal
Lets sue all advertisers RTFA Frims advertised in the spam had already been ordered to cough up a billion dollars in damages Sounds like the advertisers are covered to me.
IANAL but it's called "proceeds from illegal activities". Normally drug dealers have a high level of income from illegal activity and little or no income from legal sources so they are most vulnerable to it.
I belive CDLs are uniform in all states or at least reasonable uniform. I'm not argueing that increased liability coverage is "right" or necessary, but it's logical; if item A used negligently causes more damage than item B used equally negligently, item A should be required to carry more liability coverage. The cost of the coverage is a matter for acuarial analysis. As it stands now Body-on-Frame by your statement gets the same liability coverage for less expense, increasing liability coverage to at least cover the cost differencial would be removing a subsidy helping to finance a class of vehicle ill regarded for its fuel consumption, enviromental impact world-wide and is involved in a third more injury accidents. Does it make sense that a van with glass all round is a car and a van with sheet metal on the sides instaed of windows is a truck? I rather suspect that motorcycles pay less for liability and more for medical
I doubt it, for example I was riding with my now former-boss, an obsesive-conpulsive phone talker, who was yacking and writing notes on his cell phone while he was driving. The car up a head was stopping, and as I'm starting to have a heart siezure, he sees the stopped car and jams on his brakes and barely misses rear-ending the car ahead, while the cars behind us starts a 3 car chain-reaction. We and the car in front of us are untouched. Now I know the asshole caused a 3 car accident, but technically we were not even involved. If you hit another car because a SUV or a truck blocked your view, you didn't have an assured clear distance ahead, your fault. You hit a car that has been driving in your blind spot for twenty miles, your fault.
How about just requiring body-on-frame vehicles needing a CDL and commercial insurance to operate? A real business is likely to carry more liability coverage than an individual anyways. Body-on-Frame vehicles are more likely to cause disporportiate injuries to other vehicles and occupants, so upping their liability requirements makes sense.
Ahmen brother, 1. the lame H2 doesn't even have room for a 18 in rackmount over the transmission tunnel! 2. jump in a H2 with a rucksack on your back and the seatbelt will not even reach arround! 3. the H2 is too high, good way to get your head blown off, a real Hmmv is only about 2/3 the height of a H2 and has more ground clearence! 4. the H2 doesn't come with a roof turret, where are you going to mount a guided missile launcher, grenade launcher or even a decent machine gun? If you need a hummer, you need it bad and one of those castrated things like the H2 ain't going to get it done!
You have to drive insanely fast to make up any significant time, going 60 MPH for an hour gets you 1 hr of travel time, to save 10 minutes you have to go 72MPH. I've found my average speed is more like 45MPH when I travel 70 on the expressway, which makes it even worse, going 90 on the expressway usualy only gets 5-10 minutes back.
He's impling that in a skid, the vechile becomes unresponsive to steering inputs, which in most cases will be the exact opposite of what should be done, will result in less roll-overs. Personally I don't buy it keeping the vehicle from becoming sideways is the safest for both avoiding roll-overs, and utilising the vehicle designed crash protection devices.
I did see an accident where a car flipped while traveling forward. The driver appearently fell asleep and crossed the expresway median, at about 75 MPH. When the car hit the pavement on the opposite side, it flipped at least one in pitch, and several times in the roll plane. The driver was ejected from the car and fell 15-20 ft. to the pavement along with her household goods. You probably will not believe it really happened, I wouldn't have if I didn't see it.
The belief that you can stop a car hydroplaning on molten tire rubber fast than you can stop a car with ABS is as false as the belief that any technology can mitigate the effects of suicidal stupidity.
In the Army, they made us take special driver's training classes when the M151A2 jeeps were issued because of their high roll-over potential; it consistend mainly of slowing don't and driving smooth. Keep in mind that SUV's have two very major problems; firstly the trucks are built on an external frame which turns it into a battering ram, in a side impact and secondly the vehicles center-of-roll is much higher than its center-of-mass.
If you really want to keep damage to you and yours down, keep the shiney side up; maybe what is needed is a serials of "your brain on drugs" style PSAs ala your kids in a SUV going to soccer practice; your kid in an SUV with soccer equipment bouncing arround like a couple old shoes in the dryer durring a roll-over.
90 MPH, hell just tie on a parachute and kick the shit out the back door. We kick trucks out the back door now, disaster supplies would be no problem, the chute would even be usable as a tent. If the Antonov AN-225 is a rugged as my lubitel 2 camera is, they outa last for about a century.
Typicaly aircraft don't fly with their long axis pointed in the direction of ground travel, The problem is the landing gear typicaly does which makes landing in cross winds trickier than in headwinds; however with modern computer controlled servos, there is no reason why all of the landing gear can't be pointed in the direction of the ground travel. I'm sure it would be freaky to get used to at first but helicopters are flown in all directions.
I remeber reading a book in the late '70's or early '80's called something like "The Delta Pumpkin Seed" that hypothesised using a large delta lifting body aircraft with helium lifting bags inside. The idea was to get a take-off speed of about 70 MPH, the advantage was you'd still get the aerodynamic benefits of a airplane yet still retain most of the airship benefits like economical heavy lift capability. For passengers it would be like comparing an airliner's cramped seats that can potentialy cause fatal blood clots but get you there fast to a cruise ship where it takes a while to get somewhere but the traveling actualy feels like a vaction.
So if I illegally share copyrighted files, "Trusted Computing" is going to stop me; but if evil hacker breaks into my computer and steals copyrighted files there legally and illegally distribute them "Trusted Computing" ain't going to do jack?
The wife was really wigging out over the Katrina induced petro-chemical price spike and I told her not to worry because there were too many alternative technologies that start to become profitable at $70.00 a barrel for the price to stay there for very long. If the price had stayed at $70.00 then the VC's would have stepped up to the plate and the world would have changed very quickly. A couple weeks ago I was talking to a gentleman who worked for chrysler's tech center in Rochester Hills, he did emissions testing and engineering on prototypes; cars planned for 5-10 years in the future. In a causual talk, he blew off every step-up technoglogy but man was he excited about hydrogen. what I think we'll eventualy see is a trash to thermal depolymerisation to hydrogen production line.
nuclear power creates large quantities of isotopes with half-lives of the order of millennia--highly radioactive and dangerous isotopes that do not occur naturally and that still require safe and secure long-term storage. Not entirely true, there are no "unatural" iostopes in nuclear reactor wastes. In fact there is evidense that self-sustaining nuclear reactions occured in nature; isotope signitures in river-bed uranium deposits have been found with unusual isotope profiles that would be explained easily if they had been spent nuclear fuel several tens of millenia old.
Most boxers I've met are genuinely nice guys; sure they do a lot of trash talking before a match, mainly to built hype arround an upcoming match, but mostly they really are nice guys. Tesla was a genius, most of his work was in high-voltage AC transmission of power, Edison on the other hand hated AC and was a DC current guy, mainly because AC causes incandecent light bulb filliments to flex and ulitmently suffer metal fatige failure. The public fighting between the two kept the media and the public interested in electrical power and probably did as much to electricfy the modern world as any of the inventions they made did.
