It helps to think of the wires as a capacitor, which take a while to charge up to a trip voltage. Presently CPU's are trying to flip the bits about as fast as the wires can be charged, so they are making the wires smaller to charge faster and run cooler. Smaller wires means more bad chips and more expensive cpu's, using light for signaling gets around big parts of the problem.
Better yet we could just snatch him up and start experimenting on him, throw him in a sealed farraday cage and bombard him with different magnetic, electrical, accustic and temeperature variations until we find one that causes him pain in a statisticaly significant manner, just joking.
sure just get a big old fashoned ultraviolet pulse laser and zap the storm, it would ionize the air between the laser and the storm causing a short circuit. OBTW you're nominated to push the button on the laser, I'm going to watch from a half mile away.
There was talk about lightning being significant in tornadoes, and I can vouch for there being a lot of lightning in tornadoes, I've seen five of them at night and they even glow a very pretty blue-green. We also clocked windspeeds of over 800MPH on school (un-calibrated air defense) doppler radars in them, this could be caused by super-sonic shock waves from lightning.
The Geneva Conventions appliy to weapons of war, used in warfare between two or more nations. Using weather control for peaceful purposes don't apply; however if we were to try and steer a hurricane away from our gulf coast and it ran into Cuba instead, I imagine they'd be very vocal about it and there would be a lot of political fallout.
Trust me it highly possible, if your ISP can block outgoing port 25, they can block outgoing port 53; if the ISP can block then the government can tell them to block.
That what I admired most about President Clinton, he realy didn't do anything, so he realy didn't fuck anything up. And as an added bonus, he keep a lot of people focused on lewinski so they didn't fuck to much up as well. I rather suspect that the UN running the internet gTLDs might actualy be a good thing, they rarely get anything done as well; so the if it ain't broke don't fix-it principal applies
If they realy wanted to screw things up and get their.XXX gTLD, all they have to do is mirror OpenNIC on their country code DNS root servers; end of problem for eveybody. DNS isn't that big of a deal to run. If you don't like ICANN's running the gTLD, then just run your own.
Actualy what I've found is the walk both gives me a productivity boost at work, and a bit of decomperssion on the way home, so when I'm home, I'm actualy there for the family. I't not that much of a time drain for me, because the difference between a fifteen minute walk isn't much different than a 10 min drive. In the winter it would take longer to clear the windshield and then drive than it does to just walk, guess I'm just lucky. Before I moved to my present home, it was a pleasant 4 mi bicycle ride, well winter was a bit cold until you got moving. I enjoy the exercise, and highly recomend it as long as you don't get masodhistic about it.
I live 2 (two) miles from my job!!! neener neener neener, I live about a mile and walk, so color me jolly green also lost 15 pounds this year so at 52 I'm weighing less than I did in High School while playing football. 2 Miles is easy bicycle range even with snow on the ground, do it because It'll make you feel better and you can still laugh at the enviro-nazi's.
So, a single letter to google saying "don't index anything we own" should be simple enough, easy enough, and honestly, not that big a deal. That one of the big flaws the publishers don't want to be exposed. By publishing a book, both the author and the publisher expect to profit. but if the author expects the publisher to make his work available to the public for the period of the copywrite, he will be disapointed. The publishers only make books available that they expect to sell at large volumes, books that fail to sell a large volumes are not maintained in stock and are forgotten. The simple fact is the publishers can not opt-out, because inorder to do so they would have to know what they own rights to. The reality is they value the rights so little they don't even keep track of what they own and what they sold off. Most books printed are not sold, they are chucked in the dumpster, with their jackets ripped off, I'd be surprised if they paper is even recycled.
Some friends of mine won $249M in the megalotto back in the spring, their lives are just now settling down into a life. It's not all a bed of roses. Of course I still spend $5.00 and hope occasionaly.
Being locked up in a west african prison is probably a fate worse than death. If being a scammer is viewed as pretty neutral in your society, imagine being locked up with real hard-case criminals
Doesn't PHP tend to be embedded in the page? often usualy what happens is it starts out simple where mixing logic and presentation isn't a big deal, just a quick-dirty web-app for a small group of users doing one thing. Then feature creep, different users come onboard, more feature creep until it becomes obvious that the thing should have been designed from the beginning because it turned into an unmagageable mess of spegetti.
At that point you have to start ripping it appart, refactoring everything and start using a proper templateling lib, then you find a lot of uglies to fix along the way, that's what I'm doing now. Going through a disicplined desgn cycle prevents a lot of that.
not the authors, think about it the author gets about the same as the printer, that LEAVES A LOT OF SPREAD IN THE MIDDLE. Maybe the real problem is there is a lot of room for small run printers and binders, free lance editors and authors and direct distribution and primary marketing through Google print that would cut out the good'ol boys and their archaic business methods.

Warning spoiler Apu was kidnapped at age 4 from his family in bangladesh and forced in to slave labor as a "professional" camel jockey in Qatar. After out grow the profession he was kicked to the curb where he was hired by a wealthy Arab merchant and works an 18 hour shift at the Kwik-E-Mart, soon he'll be able to afford a ticket home if his till doesn't keep coming up short and he sells his extra cornea and kidney; as his room and board only take 16 hours of work a day.
WOW $3.00 a book to print, $300.00-150.00 for a textbook, $50.00 -30.00 for a hardcover novel or softcover tech book and $8.00 for a paperback; no wonder Google scares the jabeebers out of them!
OPT-OUT the clowns in the publishing business can't opt-out because they neither know what they own nor have the ability to figure it out. an incredible opportunity for archiving surely you jest, book publishers shred more books than they sell. Most of the books I buy were on their last-chance before the shredder. Actualy I wish I were a writer, Google has just presented me with a business plan where 2/3rds of the painfull overhead like market/advertising is provided for free.
And when Google says something like "We scan the books to make a Digital Archive and store it on our computers as a service to the Five Great Libraries, and for consideration the libaries allow us to index the books scanned, and present a short excerpt of the book with the relevent search terms displayed" the illegal arguement becomes much less clear cut under the fair use doctrineEspecialy since the law directs the courts to look at the economic impact of the use involves and considering that Google scans for free, indexes for free, and will include a free links to the right's holder's website for purchases for free; the opposing parties are going to sound like a whiney bunch of three year olds.
how about MACK 175HP ENGINE , sn-, complete cut out with Spicer CM555A transmission. or 1989 MACK ROLL OFF TRUCK, sn-vn26071, 300hp Mack diesel engine, double frame, tandem axle. compare that to The new 6-cylinder diesel engine on Touareg produces 225 PS from its 3.0-litre capacity, and has a maximum torque of 500Nm at just 1750 rpm., peak torque at 1750 would put it at halfway between idle and redline, which is almost insane for a diesel, with something like that you could skip the 15 speed transmisions!
EU's like diesels a lot more than we yank's do, most of us have never been exposed to one done properly, the initial offering from the big 3 were basicly truck and industrial engines shoe-horned into a car or truck which tained the market's opinion on them.
Our gas company had a vehicle LNG (liquified Natural Gas) program, you could fuel up between 9-4:30 5 days a week, until one customers car blew up durring a refueling, which killed the consumer program (nobody got hurt except the car and a lot of windows in the area). Municipal busses often run on LNG (Better maintence controls) ours does, Atlanta GA does, probalbly a lot do.
I remember LNG conversion kit was about $2K and you did need a special injector; so I expect there are some extra gotcha's along the way like instalation and inspections extra or heavy tax subsities.
200Hp diesels are semi-tractor class engines, it's a big ass engine. Diesel/hybrid doesn't make as much sense as gas/hybrid because a diesel's torque peak happens at a much lower rpm so peak effiecency is very close to peak torque; also diesel have the advantage of being able to run at much less than ideal stichiometric air/fuel mixtures so they breath a full charge of air and adjust power by controlling fuel flow which gives them much better off load effiecency. lean out a gasoline engine too much and you'll get great millage until you burn a hole through your pistons (about ten Miles).
