My Dad's water well produce a flamable mixture of water and natural gas from 189 ft. Places where the river had cut through at the same depth produced a oil sheen from water draining through the river bank to the river. Natural gas is used primarily due to cost, such as cheaper than fuel oil. Consumer's power has a gasification plant in Marysville MI, that takes wastes from Canadian petro-chemical producers in Sarnia Ontario (Chemical Valley) and converts it into a natural gas substitute. The pipeline also continues to a DET's (Detroit Edison Company) Greenwood plant, a peaking plant that was originaly designed to be nuclear, but change due to enviro-whacko protests.

Even one of the US DNS servers going down slows the 'net. Two down slows it to a crawl, not really, what happens if I need a DNS lookup, my computer
checks the hosts file
checks the named cache
checks the ISP's name server usualy 2 servers
the ISP checks 3 regonal severs
the regonals checks 3 national servers
the nationals check 3 international severs
Each check up the line updates the cache of the lower name servers which holds the results for the time to live variable; so when one sever goes down and you get a time-out a second attempt usualy get a hit fast. DNS is a distributed and very robust system, when it fails the source of the failure is usualy at an ISP rather than upstream.
Because other countries use the Internet much like we do, as a major component in much of their commerce. You say that like you think the UN would be an improvement of US control. What exactly is the problem that made US control of the GTLD's a Bad thing(tm), Oh wait maybe it's the chicken-little arguement that we're running out of IPv4 address space; well IPv6 will fix that. No the bottom line is it's about money and power, the powers behind the throne at the UN wants to be able to get their hands on the money and divvy it out to their cronies and relatives and use the DNS system as a weapon to silence critics.
When it's more import to comunicate the content rather than dazzel'em with bullshit; Wordpad is highly usable, such as the typical interdepartment memo. When your communicating with an ouside person and proper presentaion is part of the image your trying to project, I haven't found any word processor that is up to the task. Try this with any office suite; 1. scrape yahoo for all of you competitors in a 250 Mile radius 2. scrape yahoo for all of your potential customers in a 250 mile radius 3. determine the GPS locations for all of the above. 4. determine which potential customers are located 10 miles or more for a competitor 5. print a form letter and envelope for each potential customer located more than 10 mile for a competitor, the letter must be justified with ruler straight margins 6. spend no more than 40 man-hours on entire task over a 45 day period, and not alow it to interfere with normal work.
you can't do it with an office suite, the MySQL-Perl-LaTeX chain makes it difficult but actualy possible. Additionaly the most difficult parts are reuseable if you want to expand your radiuses. This is beyond most typical office workers, but we have gotten resumes that listed TeX and LaTex skills and were obviously typeset rather than word processed.
After reading some of his complaints like DoD Approves Sale of US Military Training on Open Market or his letter to Senators Lieberman and Clinton here I think you agree that his passing a pychiatric testing may say more about the competency of the examiner than it does about Thompson.
If you want to help your state pass a constitutional law to prohibit the sale of these virtual reality murder and sex simulators to children, if you want any additional information or help, or if you want to help Jack Thompson in any fashion, including prayer, please contact him at 1172 South Dixie Hwy., Suite 111, Coral Gables, Florida, or phone him at 305-666-4366. May God bless you, keep you, and protect you and yours.
I'm sure we'll all send our prayer to your office most of us really think you need all the help you can get. You seem to be losing your grip on reality, and are suffering some kind of delusions of grandeur and just a bit of a suicidal in the way you've gone and made your self a highly visable target; alarmingly a realativly simple google search on your office address turns up as the number one link, your complaint against California-licensed attorney, Mark Geragos who was attorney for Scott Peterson in his murder trial; that complaint as required by California law not only lists your office address and phone number but your home address, home phone number and cell phone number. We are begging you to realise life is not a video game, you have no free extra lives in the bank, when some whacko finaly tracks you down and puts a bullet in you it will most likely hurt you very badly or kill you, Please be careful
I'm surprised and disappointed that such a simple idea never caught on It did it's just so transperant it's invisable now; the openoffice native format is realy a zipped data files and directories structure. Just take an open office document, change it's file extention to.zip and take a peek inside. Much of the real power of the format is it's fully documented, so you can make any program take a file, open it and use the data, make a new file just what ever you can imagine and code.
most people who use Word, could easily replace it with wordpad. Personaly for most of what I do the MySQL-Perl-LaTeX chain works much better than any integrated office application.
It's not an espionage device, it's a DRM enabled device. All of those countries know about it. There is even a website about it, I can't remember the URL so just scan in some of your currency and the browser will open preloaded with the URL.
so when I take my HP ColorLaserJet Model 55 Serial Number 89928798734, and mod-chip it to print your serial number you would be evidently pretty damned. This would be even more damaging if I followed you arround a bit and passed a counterfit twenty or two behind you. Since most criminals aren't the deepest of thinkers, law enforcement would assume that Oscam's Razor was cutting you pretty deep.
Don't they all take like 5 to 10 years of English in their school just for things like this? Yes they do, and they speak, and write VERY GOOD proper english, however it takes only breif enconters with drunk American or British soldiers, sailors and Airman to hopelessly currupt their english skills.
So in my opinion the myth was correctly busted you may be basicaly correct by I might argue that
soldiers get bored quickly, (bored is good for soldier as apposed to exciting and deadly) and have frequently seen them polishing things for something to do, especialy thing that their lives depend. The shields where probaly more like 0.5 m^2 rather than 1 ft^2
since the soldiers were probably shining the shields anyways, and the shields were instrumental part of their anti-archer, sooner or later some of those soldiers were going to use the inner concave shiny side of the shields to reflect sunlight to try and dazzel enemy archers
It wouldn't take too many dazzel operations to get good at them and realizing the value of it many more soldiers would be trained
so basicy I'm argueing that Archimedes didn't specificaly build a death-ray burning glass, but more probably they discovered the technic by accident.
Our software VAR specified and supplied the exact hardware we could have, sold us the OS and they provided each patch and update disk we had to insert into the drive, then they installed it remotely, we didn't even have the root password. The software wasn't bug free but it was a lot close than typical and we hated it. Oh it was secure too, no networking software installed, all serial terminals!
One of the thing I found about pre Novell SuSE is they had a habit of nameing the libaries to their own convention, which was different than RedHats; both distro's would have the same version of a libary, but a redhat RPM would fail becuase of the superficial name difference. There was a couple of peices of software that would fail dependencies when installing a redhat RPM on my SuSE machine, that worked great when I made a sym-link with the redhat name to the SuSE versioned lib.
I think if Windows developers would test their programs against wine in Linux, they would find that the programs were more robust and wouldn't be as likely to break with an update or a service pack. There are a coup[e of programs that I have on my Linux machine, that were ported to Windows and then have their developement dominated by windows people to the point where they are now running much better on windows than the same version does in Linux and run faster and more robustly than older windows only programs in the same field.
I would develop a standard interface for all video cards to write to. In this way the video card makers could choose to implement the interfaces any way they want. Actualy their are, the vendors have a tendency to consider their conversion from the standard interfaces in the Xwindows and the kernal, to their cards interface to be a trade secret; the people whineing about card drivers aren't talking about have the cards work either they are talking about getting the uber-bleeding-edge 3D Mega-Accelerated functions working, an area that card makers find cut-throat competative.
The weird thing is I went to microsoft.com and pooked arround in the knowedgebase and got the impression that I had to uninstall basic file sharing and install network file sharing. While trying to do that, I found that the directions and screen shots were not even close to what existed in the WinXP SP2 machine which made it a bit more challenging but got it done and still couldn't open the files.
I don't think it would be a good idea for you to change to Linux, your temparment and likes don't mesh well with Linux, I'm saying that 10 years from now, windows will be halfway to where windows is now so get ready.
Uhm, no, not you but windows; I'm not saying you'll have to change to Linux for security, I'm saying Windows is going to change for security. I've been arround windows a long time, hell my first commercialy bought computer came with DOS 3.5 and the window manager wasn't from Microsoft, Microsoft didn't even offer a window manager then it was a '286. I have been using Linux before Windows 95 came to me as an upgrade disk! Windows is moving toward the unix security model and has been for the last 15 years. The pace is accelerating now, the Vista is being managed by a diciplined mainframe guy. the boys a Redmond are in a whole new world where things are going to be done right and done over until they are right.
OBTW you don't need to know a 100+ console commands, just two apropo and info, they're like the windows command help, only better.
the XP interface doesn't hide anything no it don't, in fact there are some file I saved in the shared folder, that somehow got saved with no user name, that I can't open, even as admin user, but are prefectly visable. It's NTFS so I can't even get to them with a knoppix cd.
If HP/Lexmark/Cannon and Dell thought their was a profitable market for printer with their style of ET-Phone home Print drivers in Linux We'd have'em. Linux people in general dislike the vendor-lock-in that the printer/print driver manufacturers need to be profitable. As for video driver and kernal recompiles, that's because linux doesn't allow just anything to link itself into the kernal where Windows does seem to care what kinda of crap makes itself part of it's kernal.
I've found a lot of times on the Wife's WinXP machine when I'm a bit stuck I think "In linux I'd just do this" and do it and it worked; where the Wife and most Windosers don't even realise that it's possible to do it.
don't expect me to spend weeks learning it Well your going to have to, the pressure on windows to improve security is incredable, and as windows moves toward a more secure paradigm, it's going to be less like the windows you know and love and more like unix that you don't and hate, so get over it or stay stuck on WinME.
2. Move the pictures off your camera to the place where you save your pictures in the computer. Was much easier in Linux/KDE, plug in cammera and drag picture from one browser window that open auto-magicaly to where you want it to go. 3. Engage in a multimedia chat with some friend (micrphone+webcam+text) much easier in windows because windows assumes that the user is the only user, not one of several like Linux does, Linux doesn't even assume that a window is displayed on the same computer that generates the window.
