I do believe everything you wrote is correct. Now let me ask, Is there not independent publishing houses that have very high standards and only deal in specific niches? I recently spoke to a young lady that was ecstatic that she was published by some publishing house because they only choose children works ( which she wrote ) that were highly illustrated. her print run was 5000 books ( which she explained to me in great detail was a lot for that publishing house )
So I would think that there must be small niche firms that do support amazing creative writers, writers that know the in's and outs of there niche
well I am from up north and I get a good laugh at the people that live in southern Florida.
Truth be told, I am rather sure that Darwin is working hard down here to clean up the mess, but he's doing a crappy job of it. and your right, I would love to see some freezing weather down here, watching everyone slip and slid LOL.
but anyway, how do you drive when it get's real shitty with ice and snow, last I recall, I always waited to see the salt and sand trucks go by before I choose to go out, otherwise I would stay in.
back in the last 80's or early 90's a Japanese executive owned some famous pieces of art, he wanted that art to be burned with him during his funeral. it cause a sensation and the nation gallery ended up buying it.
all this guy has done is art leasing, on a weekly scale, via an auction market.
but yes, if you buy the art, it's yours to do whatever you want normally
here i am thinking, How could I scrap one of these shuttles, I get free delivery and the scrap metal value must be in the millions, but if I part it out, I bet I could get 50 million in sales. do some creative marketing and I could sell off the entire ship in little cubes to everyone in the USA for 9.95 plus shipping.
then I see the video above, what really has to happen is that everything should be digitized in 3d so that the parts could be replicated and stored for everyone to have access too in the future. if there are any manuals get them into the database also.
>> The second step, is to repurpose abandoned factories and make new stuff (like where are the millions of "really cheap and good enough" model A small windchargers out there, or solar thermal collection panels, and hot water heaters?), or they can keep manufacturing what they were making, the old stuff *with* the exception of the employees being majority owners, or the complete owners, which I think is an even better idea.
Go from unprofitable to being profitable by eliminating bloat and excessive costs. The wall street way is to screw over the actual workers who make the stuff. Well, that's a dumb way to cut costs,if you look at the company as a whole rather than just a short term cash cow for the Cxx crowd. How about start at the top instead of the bottom and cut out *those* jobs instead?
I love these types of statements, it proves to me that most people still don't understand why those people get paid the bucks they do. If you are the top of the company, you are directly responsible for the firms actions, and the hatchet swings rather quickly.
So by a firm hiring one of these guys, they expect a result on the bottom line exceeding the money spent on the salary. No one likes layoffs, but it's part of the business when it becomes bloated. Everyone want's to think in an idolized world, but guess what, it's a business that the end goal is to pay the owners a profit of some sort.
It's funny, people blame wall street for all the problems we are having now, the truth is that money was easy and they created a way that everyone could participate. if you want to blame someone, blame those that did the fraud during that time and gave loans under false pretenses. the real villains are closer to you than you think.
Oh and to those that say "let the workers decide" here is the problem, that's all good for those non-public companies, but I would no invest in a firm where the employees make all the decisions unless they have been trained to understand the bottom line and understand the "tragedy of the commons" or self-interest ( I would love to see a worker owned firm having to fire one of there own, especially when it's there neighbor).
Well, outside of slashdot user-base ( the users of slashdot are primarily composed of higher educated, much more computer skilled users, whom, can do more with there computers in a day than most people in a week ) the SysRq key is a key of use. as for the rest of 99.44% of people it's a non-issue
Anyway, most of the users of slashdot would know to custom build there own developmental workstation platform and would order that specific type of keyboard.
it's wonderful to see that the users here battle it out for keyboard layout preferences.
heck if I was a manufacture of anything related to computers, I would first spend a month researching slashdot just to find idea's and trying to fill them.
why, very simple, sometimes all it takes to wake up Corporate America is to shine the light on a problem, and people up the chain will do what it takes to clean up there systems.
mostly the people that will pay attention to this is IT firms. They should know that there $$$ are on the line.
cooking for me is relaxing, and joyful. So resources spent doing it ( time and energy ) are not considered.
as for leftovers, fresh foods taste the best, so having leftovers ( unless it's chicken soup ) don't taste as good.
Now if you really want to taste some great meat. try online ordering of bison and if you can afford it, try yak ( expensive as heck ). Yak burgers are the best when served with some local fresh baked bread ( not burger bun's ) and a good wheat beer, it's a great flavor, but more with a hint of sweetness.
something that is fun to do, and it will stock up your fridge is making pasta ( tortellini's and ravioli's ), nothing better in getting frustrations out than mixing dough.
bases on the little bit of research that I have been doing, they are trying to make diesel that are light weight, most of the time it's a combination of ceramic's and hybrid metals. but the real issue is the production cost associated with it. a chunk of regular diesel engine metal seems to be rather cheap in comparison to the hybrid metals, so until they can get the cost down to reasonable, I really don't see it happening.
I write this with a bias : I like diesel engines, and I am hoping that improvement in that field keep on happening.
as a parent of 2 girls, the stress they give me is also joyful. I got to admit, it was funny this week when my daughter said to a boy that "he smelled like shit". yep used a curse word, I almost burst into laughter. but in reference to pressure of growing "perfect children" :
I like to call it "punishment".
see, we have a few basic punishments: Grounding works wonders when you ground them in the living room full of book, they have no choice but to pick-up a book. now in winter, Snow Shoveling does wonders in summer it's under the tree ( hand them a book ) this year my daughter read The Illiad and hated every moment of it but can curse me using classic likes like " I'm so angry I could cut Paris's head off " which I think is cute. another dirty trick is to spend the evening doing a play, I have to admit I dislike it a lot, but everyone get's a part and we read out loud. even my 6 yearold get's a part. I guess when I am in my 70's I'll look back at it fondly.
schooling: I dislike most of the teachers because they choose not to explain the practical side of anything, for example math, they never explain why algebra is important ( I explained it with fashion clothing to my older daughter and she understood it perfectly, I used a combination of how to make a wardrobe using fixed prices and have the most outfits ). Science, not that I understood much of what I was explaining but menthos and cola does create pressure, there is a chemical reaction and you get dirty LOL. also I taught her to use it as a deterrent against aggressive boy's. Geography, the crap these teachers teach, how much more exacting can you get, a place is located on a continent, it has xyz as it neighbor's, it's famous for... my daughter loves this stuff but the teachers don't know anything about them ( thank you Wikipedia ( oh by the way, did you donate to it? ))
Sports: what the heck is it with everyone is a winner, NO!!! only 1 person is the best, and my daughter is not the best, I admit that and she does too... but I require her to play and try, failure is ok, not trying is failure!
I know that feeling from a test I force myself in. There are many things worst than starving, but testing one's resolve to limit yourself on your food intake is knowing your limits. I'll never do that again in my life, nor do I ever want to be in situation again.
what I learned from that test: a) I clean my plate completely b) I always have a full pantry c) when someone comes to my home, I am always asking them if they are hungry or would enjoy a meal or snack. d) I donate to a food shelter and a food bank e) I try not to cook to have any leftovers f) I have a small garden g) I always have rice, beans and peanut butter in my pantry.
I would not advise anyone to do this sort of test, it's harsh and cruel to yourself, and you might not walk away happy with the results.
Weird, I lived in NJ. for 25 years had a few cars that lasted me more than 200K and did not rust out. it's all about keeping the car clean and waxed, 1 carwash per month in the winter keeps it in shape. I don't know about the rest, but car's have always survived looking new with me ( still have my 1997 ford and it still looks new 140K miles )
valid point, It looks like the government wants users ( in this case IT Pro's ) to be in communication so that in-case of something real bad, the net can still work.
reminds me of 9/11 air traffic controllers, they did an excellent job getting planes out of the air without government interference ( after they were told ) and since then, there are no standing orders to interfere with them if it happens again ( let the people who handle air-traffic do there job and not government it up ).
I would love to give you mod points as insightful.
The first thing I thought of after reading was.... How to run this as a 10 minute test on a personal computer as a benchmark I/O.
I looked at the FAQ and it seemed that ram was not the real issue but the I/O is the most important part. so again, this might be the best tool for testing systems for I/O performance...
I would think that it might be interesting to test this on raid systems, database servers and anything that has a ton of read/writes and since it might not be cheat-able it could be something that a specific segment of the industry might want.
I just thought of this, this tool could be used to test network performance of routers ( have a drive siting on another address on the network, and run the data back and forth )...

looks like I'm screwed, I'm so far unique out of 25,634
not a good day
this is something that I feel very uncomfortable with, it's the fear of something getting out of the lab, or the worst case example .... grey goo
that code was the best documented code I have ever seen in my life !!!
I almost understood all of it and I could deduce what was going on...
damm that was good coding.

thank you for laughter.

it's called acceptance and respect. When you learn something, accept it, then give the respect to the teacher.
Well, I did not say I was the primary.
Thank you for teaching me better grammar.

excuse me, but there was no need to swear when you thought that.
I think I might have something slightly better and slightly better GUI.
the web site is http://www.1-4a.com/
he's got file renamer version 1.56
I've done 6000 file renames, as a batch, without issue every week for 6 month or so. not 1 error yet.
hope it helps
It's an interesting question, if I could put a rocket on a chunk of metal in space, could I make it move fast enough to hit 3/4 light speed ?
I figured that if the dust does not destroy it, could it go that fast ???
I guess I would start by piloting the rocket towards the sun to get a grav boost, that should help a lot, then after passing the sun, light the fuse
