I got this about a year ago. netflix youtube 1080p xvid h.264 dlna
It doesnt say it anywhere but somehow the dlna allows it to browse any smb share. Works for jpg, mp3, and all video codecs that my pc can play. Basically a blue ray player. Just check the ones out there and give it a try.
I remember reading that 3 mile island did release radiation. 7 curies of I-131 if I remember correctly. At the time it was happening there was steam venting to the atmosphere so the containment building would not rupture from the pressure. At that time the rods had already partly disintegrated. I remember figures of like a 1/3 of the rod material was lying at the bottom of the reactor vessel in chunks. Also I remember mention of a cesium isotope but I dont remember how much. It was kind of crazy because there were reporters in helicopters flying thru/close to the steam with geiger counters.
I may be wrong but.... I can make perfect bit for bit copies of audio cds. But I cant make perfect bit for bit copies of dvds that are css encrypted. I can read an iso from the disk and then burn that iso to a dvdr but then the movie doesnt play. And I have read about this and apparently there is a track on the dvd that isnt accessible to the reader directly and cant be burned to a dvdr. So to copy a dvd you have to rip the dvd by decrypting the css protection then you can mkisofs and burn that iso. I have also read that dvdrw *may* have this track available for writing. So in conclusion the dvd copy is bit for bit perfect movie quality but it isnt a bit for bit copy of the disk since the resultant copy is unencrypted with css.
Back in 1967 I first used apl. It was an ibm 360 in watson research center in yorktown heights ny. I connected to it from belmont ma with some kind of dedicated line. The interface was a ibm selectric typewriter with a special type ball. We either had a special key layout or sticky labels for all the keys. This way we had a wysiwyg interface. The key looked the same as what was typed. I spent every waking moment programming apl for the next 4 years. It was great. I believe that any problem could be programmed in apl in one line of code. I programmed all of the martin gardiner mathematical problems from scientific american. It was a lot of fun. I never produced anything usefull from all of this.
So the point of the story is you need programmable keyboards that can change the glyph on them. This would enable the experimentation with new linguistic constructs for programming languages. I never could get into apl after that because of the keyboard problems. Who wants to stick labels on your current keyboard and obscure the real symbols. I suppose you could switch keyboars anytime you want to write your new language. What a pain. What made my '67 experience easy was the specialized keyboard that nobody changed.
While I recommend mplayer and vlc as others have. I also recommend bsplayer and powerdvd. Powerdvd is the only player that can play dvds w/o skipping on my via C3 1ghz processor. It seems to be the only one that takes advantage of the hardware mpeg decoder. Powerdvd is not free but keys can be found. bsplayer is free and seems pretty fast but is suceptible(sp?) to codec havoc mplayer comes with its own codec lib vlc also comes with its own codev lic.
Vlc while not being based on mplayer code admits that they use mplayer code.
I had the same idea. No specifics but just the idea of a serverless web. Web pages are swarmed automagically by the browser. Obviously the originating web site(tracker) would tell all others of changes to content.
I have a pentium mmx (1) 233 running knoppix 3.3 and it has been down to 15deg F so far this year. I have it in the upstairs of a unattached unheated uninsulated garage. It has a 9 gig hard disk hdparm reports IBM-DTTA-371010. I will try to post a response if it fails soon. I live in exeter nh and it should get to -20F this winter. I may insulate the garage soon though. I am ssh'ed into the box right now and it is about 30F outside now. I am thinking of putting my main server in the garage but I am not sure I want to risk it. This experiment should answer the question. If it survives the winter I may move my server into the garage. After insulating(the garage) of course.
I leave the windows open during the summer and havent had a problem. It ran all summer and it probably got up to 88-90F outside. Inside who knows.
power plant 35-40% power lines 95%?? electrolysis 85% hydrogen fuel cells 83% theorectical 50% actual electric motor 80%
gas engine 20% diesel engine 30-40%
I have a volks tdi diesel I get 45-50 mpg. I get many tanks of diesel at around 50mpg. I mostly drive 6 miles to work and back each day. I have a car lifetime avg of 45.46mpg.
I get 13% from the above calculation for fuel cell.
>> Nuclear power is not derived from our Sun's energy.
Yes it is. Where do you think those big radioactive elements came from? Well maybe not from OUR sun but somebody else's sun. Nuclear fusion can only make elements up to iron. A supernova is required to make elements above iron. So U235 etc. must come from other sun's supernovas storing energy as unstable large nucleus's
From the link above there is: 1. cold dark ordinary matter(baryonic) 2. Non baryonic(exotic) dark matter both hot and cold
The article seems to indicate wilp(weakly interacting light particles instead of (in addition to) wimps(weakly interacting massive particles. Wilp's are like neutrinos. We have not discovered any wimps yet.
The psu was the noisest fan until last night. I opened up the psu and stuck a radio shack trim pot(1k ohm) into the fan wires. I think about 130ohms is about right. The trick is to slow down the fan but make sure it still starts up.
Now the cpu fan is the noisiest. Tonight!!
The seagate drive is great with the fdb(fluid dynamic bearing). Even the seeks are very quiet.
The performance of the board is not fantastic. I have used ati mmc7.9 to record and I can record at mpeg2 4mb/s w/o any dropped frames. This yields about a.5 mbyte/s video files.
I also have used showshifter and the best capture I can do is mjpeg. This does about 1 mbyte/s capture. I have tried the "pause" feature and the cpu can barely keep up. It appears to drop frames on play after pause when the video is sent to the screen. When it is doing the delayed playback it is recording and playing back at the same time.
I read somewhere that this used an older first stage engine that had successfully flown before. The malfunction of the previous flight was with a new advanced first stage and it had to be destroyed when it went off course. So they havent even flown the problematic engine yet. So I guess this flight proves nothing as to whether ariane is space worthy again.
I have never caught a virus but my neighbors and other people I know have caught virus' and the way that they catch them is thru email. I dont know of anybody who has caught a virus from a web browser(yet!). You dont even have to open an attachment to get many of the virus targetted at oe. This is the main reason I switched to moz about 2 years ago. Now moz1.1b has a feature to turn off html rendering in my email. Back 2yrs when I switched moz had the ability to turn off java script in email. This has to be more secure then an email client that runs js and loads html from who knows where.
Its called a VAT(Value added tax). I think it would be a more "fair" tax system. Everybody would pay taxes on consumption. The question is what kind of exemptions would you allow? Food? Food only for poor?
The thing I like the most about stl is: I have written 2 large(moderate) projects in stl and I have not used a single new or delete. Therefore there is no memory leaks and associated clean-up work. My destructors are almost always emtpy and my constructors are usually the simple initialization type. Also I have very few pointers. At first I tried to code w/o any pointers but I found cases where I couldn't use a reference and had to use a ptr. For example if a particular variable is optionally valid a ptr is much better(NULL or not NULL). Also any collection of references doesn't compile(correct me if I am wrong).
Can you post a better site to see the difference. I just dont see that much difference. I am using ie6.0 and moz 0.9.9 and they look about the same on using this thread as a comparision. Moz might be a tad slower but the rendering is so fast its hard to tell the difference. I have win2k with 256 mem and 1.2ghz intel processor.

Swaying CPU Fans
·
· Score: 1
I have a p233 and the local computer shows have some nice quiet cpu fans for the p233. The power supply fan also went(couldnt figure out why the machine was so quiet:-) ) so I replaced the fan and the new ball bearing fan was the noisest thing I ever heard. So I went to radio shit and got a 82 ohm.5 watt resistor and hooked it up in series and it is now very quiet. I tried 100 ohm but the fan wouldnt startup. I use this machine as the house linux server and it stays up 24/7 and of course it ends up in the bedroom:-)
>The main reasons besides public image are to gain engineering skill in building large, long-term habitats in space, and to figure out how to keep people in space without having their health deteriorate as it does now.
I agree. Its not the science stupid its the engineering. Science missions do squat to teach us how to do the engineering of taking people to other planets. I love science dont get me wrong but I still want to stand on mars before I die.
> In fact, one of the first thoughts that entered my >head last Tuesday morning was the possibility this >whole thing might have been engineered by some >element within our own government in order to >increase the scope of its power in the backlash.
This thought crossed my mind also. Its a fact that the US ambassador to iraq essentially told saddam hussein that he could take the disputed oil fields in kuwait. He just went a little further that he was *supposed* to. I always thought that old bush might have thought it would be good for his presidency to have a little war. Why not encourage one.
A geosynchronous orbit(or any large orbit) with a slight tip(inclination) to it would miss the earth's shadow as it goes around. In other words it would go north or south of the earths shadow. At some point during the year it would go through the shadow because of the nodes of the orbit intersecting the earth-sun line. Also there is what they call a sun synchronous orbit(100 deg incl?) that basically always orbits over the same lighting conditions over earth. The best way to picture this is to imagine an orbit that stays fixed in space as the earth revolves around the sun. Only one time of the year will it have the same lighting condtions. Now incline the orbit until it precesses(rotates) as fast as the earth-sun line rotates. You could position this orbit to always be orbiting over the terminator(sunset sunrise line). Also for anybody who wants to know satellite orbits precess because of the equatorial bulge pulling on the satellite. This makes the orbit precess just like a toy top.
