Call it what you want, but these waves of electrons can all be rectified into DC voltage, downconverted, run through antennas, etc... all properties of high frequency alternating current. Radio waves of these higher frequencies that start to exhibit properties of light are usually called microwaves.

Uh oh. This world is in trouble. You know, kids these days are tought how to move a mouse, not speak the language of a command line. Environment variables and basic scripting should be compulsary education for students at the elementary school level. So many young minds lack logic skills and critical thinking, you'd think it was the greed of some evil corporation behind all of these "difficult to install" applications.
Those 500 lines of "crap" config file could be an worthwhile alternative to an often repeated lame 500 word essay on the social implications of World War III and people who have been long dead.
I feel that is an attitude consumers need to buy into! Let us start rewarding artists for touring the world and performing, rather than packaging canned music.
Entertainment simply is best when performed lived, personal, and to the audience. That is an experience worth paying for compared to the detatched mode of retailing where the goal is maximum profits.
Concerts are celebrations of social gatherings. Support them, bring your friends, hear the music, and rejoice.
The problem is that they print out these CD packages like money. They perhaps cost them 25 cents to shrink wrap the whole creation and ship them in from some foriegn sweat shop. You will need to return 50 cd's to start costing them money. Most of the losses will be the burden on the retailer. The distributor will most likely count the returns and chuck them, honoring them with fresh copies. Its racketering at its finest.
For the last several years, I worked in wire and cable manufacturing, where we still use vacuum tubes. They seem to be the perfect amplifiers in high voltage test equipment (up to 150KV.) Interestingly, they are much more reliable than their transistor counterparts, most likely due to the abusive environment of high voltage and corona discharges.
Linux? Yeah, I saw it sneak in just a little. A bit of that was my doing.:)
Point and click on the convient links to communicate with Mr. Canter and how you feel about spam. But please make this personal, not the automated bombing he performed.
News servers choose which groups they spool and often do not carry the bloated binary groups.
Alt.sex was not a binary newsgroup and was the most popular forum visited by estimates of 100,000 people a week back in 1994. Quite impressive. Now it gets that many spams a week.
His passion and promotion of spam did indeed destroy the most popular forums into a cesspool of unwanted and useless promotions. You may deny the damage, but it is there.
Yes, and governments across the world should charge for the air we breathe. After all, if we don't pay our taxes, there would be no air on the planet. The average person only uses a dollar's worth of air anyway, so few people would notice the charge.
Damnit Jim, unenet news was my mailbox! Nothing like reading the morning news sipping a hot magical drink to start the day. It was a two way form of news. Quite wonderful.
The phrase "opt-in" as you suggested is not at all an accurate description. The automated carpet bombing spammers completely destroyed the most popular groups on usenet. Gone are many of the playgrounds where people could freely talk to others in the world. News spools were flooded at the expense of those people who wanted to provide this free exchange of information. The spammer paid almost nothing to start the flood distribution. We paid the price for their abuse.
Well, this guy committed quite an act against a great form of communication that had been around for some time.
Imagine a serial killer talking with great passion about the acts he committed and the reaction sure to follow. Now imagine since he is the first serial killer, we must let him go since there surely must be more to follow. Might as well throw punishment away too.
No need for a deterrent here. Let's make a whole industry to thrive off the evils we allowed to enter our world. After all the anti-virus and spam software industry helps our economy and increases our standard of living. NOT!
The night he systematically destroyed usenet news, we noticed there was a fax number on that famous spam. Surprisingly, it wasn't busy so we did the responsible thing and loaded it up with black pages in hopes it would melt.
Unfortunately, he must have loved all that attention and convinced other budding marketers they could reap the rewards of spam too. Perhaps the usenet death penalty needed to be applied in a more stricter sense so people like him can't father children.
Never say impossible! I currently have a laptop on my desk with two video cards. It was the first thing I just had to try when I got my docking station and saw the free pci slots just sitting there.
Support when it breaks? Considering the selection of support between the vendors I can pay for, I'd rather take my chances with the lowest bid. Are there any good vendors these days when one wants support without hassles? What I had to put up with over the years made me realize it was cheaper to fix it myself:
The cost savings if the computer breaks may allow me to part out and rebuild new systems. Think THAT is a waste of time? Compare to dealing with automated 1-800 "support" lines and being told to reinstall worthless "supported" OS software required in their troubleshooting scripts. Why spend days and weeks dealing for this expensive rebadged premium when one can do it himself?
Oh no! slashdot is beautifully rendered in a textual browser such as lynx and lightning quick over a 9600 baud cellular modem. If you never tried viewing this site under lynx, you may be surprised at the artistic detail of the formating.
Over to the left where the links take the shape of an ascii candle flame followed by more links presented in an intuitable format. Rob was generous leaving this site accessable to the more mature historical browsers.
Usenet is very much alive and a great way to bring together communities who like to share original material, even in binary newsgroups. My favorite is alt.binaries.pictures.motorcycles.sportbike where I can see many insane pictures posted on an impulse not found on websites.
The binaries groups I have seen have been pretty much noise free. If the users are vigilant and like to use physical means to squash spammers, the forum is void of abuse.
Two easy steps without taking it apart: 1) Compressed air for the hair and fingernail clippings (what is that stuff?) under the keys. 2) Glass cleaner and a towel for getting the grime off the surface.

This 7.3 is good. I wanted to see a more refined 7.2 before a new approach was reborn. This is one step toward perfection before they release a new offspring.
Detecting acceleration of the mouse is not an issue when the amount of movement is encoded in the sequence. Also, the initial position of the mouse is fixed upon boot.
Its easy to scan and parse where the user is going to be. After all, this is done in software anyway! It makes no difference if it is done on the host computer or a remote spying box.
Just because it is a mouse, doesn't mean it can't be snooped. Mice and keyboards both use serial communications and can be captured by many means.
The Microsoft Mouse(tm) protocol sends out a three byte sequence to signal a mouse movement. The current from the wires of a serial mouse can be picked up remotely with a good antenna that can sense the large RS232 voltage transitions at a slow 1200 baud. From another room, you could track mouse activity just as with a keyboard.
Would the persons responsible for war be investors (read us) who are attracted to large companies that maximize profits by lobbying polititions who maximize leverage that further exploitation in lucrative markets with the cheapest risk? A 36 percent return or greater a year is mighty rewarding and starts at the common people who invest. Would the nice house I just bought have helped incite a war in another country? One could say with large purchases, unintended influences are bought.
War might be about being on the bleeding edge of civilizaion.

A UPS for a whole building would work great for preventing panic during outage crises, but I'd recommend UPS units next to the boxen. Reason why is that I have often seen breakers trip for computer rooms.
All too often I have seen what was a small server room expand with hardware upgrades and with no forsight to include upgrading the wiring. That poor 20 amp breaker eventually will be a rude awakening to those who didn't want to include the time of an electrician into their plans.
I feel a local UPS in addition to the other larger backup power generation is a great idea. They are small, easily servicable and replaceable by just about anyone; whereas a failure of a large UPS may require a service call.
I once had the pleasure of being close to a large 1.6MW Cat twin turbo diesel generator when it decided to toss a valve out of the cover. A few hundred hours of operation into another shift, the shaft between the engine and the generator snapped. Nothing like 2800 horsepower wanting to be free once in a while... After several years, the nicad battery pack failed to turn over the two starter motors. They were replaced by a pack of lead acid batteries (cheaper, but an expected life 3 years.)
While the large sets are lifesavers, they can have extended downtime due to their size. They seem to work well in addition with small, replaceable UPS units.
Don't worry about the navigational chaos drifting magnetic poles cause, just think what would happen if the North Magnetic Pole ended up on the Equator somewhere.
