A fully loaded semi going up a 4% grade can go from 70 mph to 45 mph.
If there's three lanes and two or more trucks in a quarter mile (one in each lane, leaving one lane open) that screws up the whole highway behind them as people bunch up and start braking or try to get around them.
Trucks are great for getting behind if you want some following distance. You get some drafting action (even pretty far back) and the a-holes who try to get in your gap get out again at the first hill (or don't get in in the first place because there's a truck there).
That leaves me to cruise along saving gas and getting there when I planned because I was bright enough to leave early enough. And even a truck stomping on the brakes doesn't stop as fast as a car can so I can avoid hitting them (or let the truck plow through whatever dumbarse motorist got him self sideways).
The only bad part, is trucks stir up water and dust more than a car does.
There's dozens of other ways to compromise a PC (Windows or not) if you can sit down in front of it. Even if you don't have to reboot with this, or can sniff enough stuff to log in remotely later across the internet...
This is why the server room and racks are locked, it's really really hard to combat against someone who as physical access and a bit of time/knowledge to use to evil ends.
I mean it exactly as it appears. We where talking about evolution in conflict with creation. The vast majority of people will never, ever use the idea of evolution in the parts in conflict with creation in their daily lives. It would only be the people who go into a field who need to know this or people who are somehow subjecting themselves to it. Teaching evolution outside of science says this isn't important to them. As long as the student, person, whoever knows that they use this approach in science, then where is the problem for these people who will never need to know it? Take away the right of folks who want to check out of the science knowledge to vote and it does no harm. Until then, no matter how small, people who don't know what is going on will have a small little bit of political power. IGNORANT political power.
Stupid people get exploited. And stupid people get exploited by politicians _WELL_.
You, are one of the most disingenuous, thinly veiled fundy assholes I have ever seen on Slashdot. And I think Bevets is here somewhere so that's saying something. Go create 'god's army' somewhere else.
It takes approximately 650 - 800 degree days to prepare kimchee (Temp in F times day) at the very least, and that's if you "prime" it with juice from a previous live batch. (Like sourdough bread priming, or, beer...)
Starting from a standard kitchen, you probably need more than that because you need to let the trace bacteria get started. With a prime, you already flooded it with dormant ones of the right kind. So figure 10 days to make, and about 4 months on the fridge shelf. Then another 4 months on the fridge shelf if you don't mind it being a little old.
For best results, I'd say the coldest corner of your basement to start it (you can leave it there for 8 months if you want, but it will lose crunch) and once the flavor "spikes" (fish, garlic, salt, heat, cabbage/veggie) fade into one, it's done. I use a big mixing bowl, plastic wrap pressed on the top, and then a plate to hold it down, and then the cover, and then a garbage bag around the whole thing as my fermenting container. (You don't need special jars.) Then transfer to a lightly closed mason jar with a ziplock bag around it to the fridge. I had one batch OVER A YEAR in the fridge and it was edible.
For best results, make it once a month in small batches (1 nappa cabbage head worth) and you will have a constant supply of peak-tasting kimchee.
I use it on burgers, with rice and fried egg, as a garnish (like I said, in a martini), as a snack, and to annoy my co-workers. It's good on a cracker, with some cheese or tuna fish, you have a meal right there.
If you want to try some, try the daikon radish kimchee from your local Korean mart, it's sweeter and easier to deal with.
DONT buy the stuff from the big-box store, that has traveled a long way and wont be very good. Go where the Koreans go to get it. DO read the instructions, it will foam up like a soda bottle and spray kimchee juice all over when you first open it.
Is it cooked when it's canned? It always seems to me like it's "dead", where as kimchee will bubble and froth if you had the jar closed because the microbes are still alive doing their stuff.

If you shake the juice off and pat it dry, it makes a pretty damn good gin martini garnish too.
Yes, if you are looking for a "Western Food" analog that would get everybody to understand quickly.
There's one HUGE difference though, kimchee is not typically cooked when it's made, whereas sauerkraut is cooked. Both are fermented I think it's the same micro-biology that does it though. And kimchee has at least garlic, usually hot spices, ginger and FISH SAUCE (fermented juice from preserved fish) in it. I use the purified form of the latter, along with usually one or two cans of drained and crushed anchovies for flavor.
The cool part is that the vitamins in the kimchee stay intact, so you get the vitamin C that was in there along with what is created during fermentation. So if you are in an agrarian society and need a supply of vitamins for the winter, kimchee works well. If you have gut problems it will overwhelm whatever bugs are ailing you, and it gets a slow moving gut running like a well-oiled shotgun if you need that.
For the uninitiated, kimchee is rather offensive stuff. But properly made home-made kimchee is a comfort food that does wonders. I go from cranky and anxious to happy and relaxed with a few mouth fulls of the stuff. I need to make another batch, am on my last jar come to think of it.
Over a cup of coffee I could come up with at least a dozen ideas for how to protect against every scenario mentioned so far in this thread.
A server that calls your cell phone, and makes you punch in a number before letting the web user log in all the way would stop 95% of all fraudulant transactions. You could do that with credit cards too.
Making this shit works is SIMPLE. Getting through the "we don't see a reason to spend money on that" blockage in the average banker-PHB is the problem. Make the fraud losses come out of their salary, or make them criminally accountable as accessories to a crime and it'll get fixed right quick.
Why the hell I didn't start a life of crime is beyond me, I could have made millions by now.
Decent templates (including some flash, all the graphics, layout and sample menus) can be had for less than $100. Sometimes WAY less.
Just make sure the people who you need to please get a chance to help pick it out.
Then, add your ADA and whatnot BEFORE you start adding content.
If it's a small business, you don't need SQL and PHP (those just make it easier for security problems to creep in) just a set of flat HTML files and a plain text editor is all you need.
I have been down the same road you are on before, and it is much better and easier if you confine the project to what it really NEEDS to be, not what you think you can build.
Read about William Wilberforce, Martin Luther King Jr., Martin Luther, Abraham Lincoln, William Tyndale, John Wycliffe, Thomas Aquinas, etc... Almost without fail you'll find the most influential men and women who brought about significant positive cultural change were forced to say they worshipers of Christ to gain any social traction amongst christofacists in power at the time. Fixed it for you.
Nobody is saying he deserved to die. If you take risks with your life and the risk doesn't pay off.. well tough. Actually, A LOT of people are saying that. (Go visit Fark threads on the subject.)
And, they're right.
Here's a list of other stuff (in case you weren't following all the articles) they did just that day;
- waited for the Zoo to empty out (premeditated)
- collected tools to do the task (slingshot, and something else (i forgot)
- drove drunk (open container of vodka in the car) to the zoo
- stayed around after zoo was closed (trespassing)
- climbed over a barrier designed to protect animals from humans
- lied to police about what happened
- clamed up, lawyered up right away
Those asshats deserved to die just from the drunk driving alone. Acting in such a way that causes an endangered animal to be killed brutally by police, while two of them (India-Indians) should know damn well what tigers can do, yeah, that pretty much adds up to NO sympathy.
These asshats deserved to die. Just like those asshats that drove off the end of the Travolta's runway deserved to die. The human race is better off without them.
This is not just kids fooling around tying cans to the neighbor's dogs tail. It's real, bona fide criminal activity and animal abuse.
But, if you are going to be snarky, at least try not being a complete moron and don't use quotes around your search criteria in Google while at the same time failing to make a complete sentence.
Medical journals tend to use complete sentences. So maybe try two phrases instead.
That stuff has been going on a long time. (10 years)
It's spamming the often exposed and ignored log reporting tools that get posted to web pages automatically. Several of the common tools helpfully convert those strings to URL links.
So, the spammer then gets a link pointing to their site that Google might find, increasing ranking, causing more ad hits, etc.
At least, if you believe all the historical documents on video about it.
The par they always leave out of the historical video documents, is that Skynet as an infant, needs to play to learn like any other sentient being does.
Be worried when it STOPS playing and you don't notice anything for a while./See you in Mexico!
True. However using scripts to keep NSI grabbing a large proportion of the domain space will cause all the cut rate registrars to scream bloody murder because their potential clients can't register anything because the scripts have dDOSed the domain space.
Which, might in turn make the vile practice of "domain tasting" (which benefits NOBODY but scammers) to be banned.
See, if your computer discovers ETI with SETI@home, the human race just won the jackpot playing extremely long odds.
If your computer discovers a protein that is useful, some pharmaceutical company executives just won the jackpot playing reasonably long odds.
Gee, which one is better? Maybe if my computer got 10% of the gross profit from what it discovers I might consider it. But, right now all Folding does is line the pockets of someone who is already making more money in one year than I will likely my entire lifetime. Forgive me if I don't jump up and down with excitement with the prospect of helping them do that.
- Bring distributed computing to the public eye, open the eyes of many researchers it is a tool they can use for certain kinds of tasks. (Think folding@home would have gotten where they did without SETI@home paving the way?)
- Bring distributed computing to the cryptographer eye, so the KGB can use your grandmas infected Windows box to break NSA messages.
- Bring contributions and publicity to the SETI projects so when the selfish-assed Bush regime shut off funding it could survive.
Protein folding is important, however discovery of ETI ranks up somewhere along with; fire, wheel, tools, calculus.
Find a protein, you change many lives for the better.
Find ET, and you change the course of the human race forever.
I will choose what to do with my extra CPU cycles myself, thank you very much. To me, ET is more interesting.
(Yes, I should know, it was my computer that discovered the candidate object for SETI@home back in 2004. Got on TV and weekly reader for that. What have YOU done with your spare CPU cycles?)
My only regret is BOINIC runs so crappy and is so hard to manage (come on, install a program that crashes upon resume, gotta dig out the right profile, gotta figure out how to sign up for projects = fail).

Note, above, once it has "blended" flavor, it's ready to eat. So, ten days or so to eat it. It's good to eat for about 8 months afterwards.
Not a kimchee expert, but good enough... :)
