I have to keep my fax machine disconnected unless I'm sending something or know something's coming in, thanks to fax.com and others. I've tried unsubscribing to no avail. They'll still occasionally "ping" my fax line looking for a way to advertise more junk.
The problem with adapting this sort of tech to an off-road vehicle is that the motors will be right where the vehicle takes the most abuse. With the engine on the vehicle's body it's buffered by the shock absorbers; but inside the wheel the only thing between it and the rocks it's going over is a pneumatic tire. The tire will certainly provide some protection, but it may not be enough.
One thing though, if you ever did it, you'd have a monster truck. Take a look at the size of those back wheels, and imagine 'em mounted on a Dodge pick-up.
I'd have to opine that this is an extremely foolish thing to do, tear apart one's OnStar module simply to access its GPS unit. A PC-interfaceable GPS costs well under $100, and doing these modifications to your OnStar system may void your vehicle's warranty or reduce its resale value enormously.
Just disconnect the power on the damned thing and get a separate GPS for your onboard PC.
I thought *I* had red-green color blindness, but I can only see jaggies in the center picture. Perhaps my color blindness is more severe than I'd thought.
I'm red-green colorblind, and the pictures on the LEFT, with the low-resolution red images, look as good to me as the original or the one with the low-res blue. Does anyone else notice this?
Chances are, of that 250W of power your PC is eating, at least 150 and possibly 200W of that is the monitor. If you're on a budget then a simple switch to an LCD monitor while using your current system would be a good way to go.
Does this mean I can set up a hot spot at my home or business and charge for access? Sounds like a great way to earn a little extra cash...
On the flip side, what if there are two different hot spots covering the same area, but which have different surcharges? Does this roaming system include a way of determining such things? What about a way of selecting the cheaper connection, or forcing a more expensive but better connection, or automatically rejecting connections to hot spots with surcharges that are too high?
SCO has now asserted ownership over not just Linux, but every single C/C++ compiler out there, and every OS based on C, including the BSD variants and all the other versions of Unix out there.
I believe that the time that would pass while the core is being compressed and the reaction builds would be plenty long enough for the outwards force of the explosive charges to ruin the capsule, despite the 1-foot gap between the fission device and the container. The fusion reaction might still go, but I doubt it'd be anywhere near its potential.
Frankly, I suspect there is a lot of deliberate misinformation about constructing nuclear devices out there. I have serious doubts about a tamped implosion device working well, if at all; I'm sure that if it were workable, the folks at Oak Ridge would've tried it long before they started fooling around with explosive lenses. That's probably why we didn't hear very much about the tests India and Pakistan performed.
I'm looking through this article, and frankly, it looks like a crock of shit. IMO the implosive charges would destroy the gamma-reflecting capsule before fission was seen, ruining the efficiency of the device. At the least, if I were trying to design a fission-fusion bomb based on this principle, I'd use a gun-type fission device rather than an implosion device. Some other parts of the article don't seem right either.
They're already emerging, but it seems to me the ultimate uberdevice will be one you carry in your pocket. Cell phone, PDA, game unit, GPS, net surfer, book reader... We're already seeing the emergence of devices like these, but they could be so much better...
I've seen this technique used before and it works well. A large standard-type air conditioner installed in the wall between the server room and that storeroom, and then a large vent fan in the ceiling of the storeroom, should solve the problem.
Thanks, but I need my mouse and keyboard to both be nice and clicky. Otherwise, how am I going to know whether my son is surfing for pr0n when I'm not in the room?
1. Take a very real concern about the recording industry's plans, and format it as an old joke. 2. Get the Slashdot trolls all riled up. 3. ??? 4. No profit; so why do I bother?
You don't have to renew the registrations right before they expire, you know. Just make a big list and renew all of them at the same time, once per year.
Make sure you're the owner of the domain name from the start. Use another service, such as mydomain.com or the registrar's own service, to point the domain at the server. Do not use an email address within the domain, or within any other domain under that entity's control, as a contact for the domain.
By taking these precautions, should that entity ever start misbehaving, you'll be able to move your content to another server without too much disruption.
Thanks, but when I'm just entering text -- especially when the mode is "Plain Old Text" -- I don't usually realize stuff should be escaped. Perhaps/. should be intelligent enough to figure out when a less-than or greater-than sign isn't a tag and should stet it?

What about an Atari 2600 (their original game console) with a BASIC cartridge? Now that was a weird little guy to program.

Eek! Watch out Minix users, SCO will be after you next!

Yup, which makes refining the fissionables that much more difficult.

Thanks. I went looking for an attribution but couldn't find one.

Why not? They've done stupider things before...
Step 1: Create a really stupid P2P system.
Step 2: Convince Congress to outlaw everything else.
Step 3: Profit
