Yeah. I would think that practical efficiency of the device will make a large machine to application ratio necessary. For example, imagine a row of low power LED lights that might be mounted on the side of a fraight train (for safety) and a box at one end with the vibration using device attached inside. The train will get vibrations dampened ever so slightly and the car gets free lighting during movement due to vibrations on the track. Add a little battery and it would not need to be moving for the lighting.
Similar things could be used on a bicycle on a smaller scale for a rear light...
If they can make these things cheap enough, I bet all sorts of uses for them can be found.
What? Are you part of the "Yahoo Publicity Spread FUD department strike team" or something?
Here's a hint for ya;
1) Go to Google
2) Click on the Fourth Link from the left in the bar. (The green one that says "Directory" on it.)
3) Enjoy!
Or, if you are particularly patient, just visit http://www.dmoz.org/ directly.
Built by humans, edited by humans, unpaid volunteers that know something and care about the directories they edit. You too can even volunteer to help!
Yahoo sucks PRECICELY BECAUSE they tried to pay people to get sites in their directory, found out they could not keep up, and then started making site owners pay to get in. Obviously, GRUB won't do what you want either, but what you are complaining about lacking already exists.
I am not 100% sure, but you could use a hosts entry to bounce the www request off the web server of your choice. Then use a redirect on that web server from www.nytimes.com to archive.nytimes.com. Just use a variable for anything after the.com part and you can click on any link and get the archive version.
Of course, once they figure that out, you'll find yourself on the block list. But if you dont use it much they may not spot you.
Google and Yahoo are not the same beasts. Yahoo is trying to be a portal. Google is not. Google is trying to be a crawling search engine, Yahoo is not.
Time and time again that "Portal" concept has shown to be full of problems; people switch between them, ad revenue dries up, content costs too much, management makes poor decisions, etc.
I NEVER go to Yahoo to find something, because the first, and most natural act for me to search is Google. Usually, I find what I want, or switch over to Google Groups to see if people have talked about what I want to find. I do sometimes use Yahoo for portal-like services such as email, maps, directions and yellow pages.
So in my opinion, Yahoo should try to knock off sites such as MSN or AOL.com, which have a closer competition than what Google does. Yahoo could pretty easily use their existing strengths to leverage position among their peers, rebuilding their business model to go after the Google-like market would be a dumb idea.
Also, I will NEVER use a search that I know to put paid listings in the results. Sites get listed in Yahoo because they paid to be there, if they paid to be there, they are selling something and won't give me the truth. Searches of the Internet are for information, not shopping. (Though there are segments of population and the internet where shopping is a big part of it.)
Yahoo could quickly increase their directory listings by simply using DMOZ instead if their own directory-creation staff. It's FREE (as in beer) for the taking! DMOZ is both larger and more relevant than Yahoo by a longshot. The part where DMOZ falls down is they do not have enough money for bandwidth to support the traffic they get, so getting useful stuff out is sometimes tricky. (Of course, there is always Google Directory, a mirror of DMOZ.)
Yahoo should not bother competing with Google, rather do what they do well. If they had spent time not sucking, rather than riding the money train, maybe they would not be where they are today.
Interesting though, what type of Uranium processing require massive amounts of electricity? If what you are saying is accurate, it is pretty compelling.
Wanker may not be posting sarcasm. Firing is not always bad, there ARE people who deserve it. The trick for management is to figure out who/when to make it effective. I admit though, mine is the only company that I know of where the firings were good and imediately positive.
My company pulled itself out of a big financial hole, turned around in 8 months, became profitable again and remains so. The beginning was the firing. From there, morale improved and more work got done and more money was made.
The remains of this can be seen in my journal if you want to take a peek at some of the negative attitude that is now gone due to firings.
Firings improved morale, a lot. They just gotta hit the right targets.
Ah. Finally someone comes to the meat of the matter. Expect a submarine patent on the radio techonology that allows this new RF stuff to happen on such narrow bandwidths. You heard it here first.
I would guess that your experience is shared by people in large metropolitan areas.
Out in the smaller cities and towns however the situation is quite different. Monitors have a $25 FEE you have to PAY to get them taken. TV's for some reason are cheaper (less lead?).
This Dell deal saves me $10 per. unit.
The local "recycling" (city run) guys wont take computer parts at all. Just the monitors. Dell seem to be grabbing the whole lot.
Though I doubt that the recycling efforts will get too popular until it as at least break even, I know of LOTS of people who simply dump them because there is a fee (not me, my company pays for it). The city would probably save more money by eating the cost and not having to go back in 20 years to clean up their superfund site under the bridge.
I don't get it. (Seriously, I really don't get it, no sarcasm intended.)
Why, if forging headers is illegal, and this guy is doing so (presumably) and bragging about it to the newspaper are the cops not already at his door? It is a felony no?
Why would a private citizen need to get the guy in court or even try? Should not forwarding the evidence that they have to the proper law enforcement authorities be enough for them to go after him for committing a felony?
Is this some sort of wierd "civil-felony" or something?
As a counter example, I got fined for having a too loud stereo once (it was, I admit) and it was because someone complained, the cops showed up, decided it indeed was too loud and issued a ticket. The guy didn't have to take me to court, and I certainly never got to find out who it was.
The ads totally invalidate any "concerns about bandwith" arguments. Two paragraphs of text or 30 paragraphs of text are going to be way less than even a couple image ads.
So, it's the ads. The pages were broken up to fit more ads.
There are lots of different ways a gun can jam. From simple locking due to static friction (static as in "not moving" not as in "electrcity") to broken parts to bits of sand, etc.
One of the things that can happen to an M-16 is that the bolt does not slide all the way forward, the round is not all the way in the barrel, which then causes the firing pin not to go. (Good thing too, cuz it could explode out the side if it were fired.)
In case of that situation, a little hammer pin was put on the side, allowing the user to push or hit the knob to push the bolt into the firing position to fire the round.
You can sometimes see this in movies or actual film where the shooter stops a second, tilts the weapon to the left and slams the heel of their hand onto the thing; hoping to be able to fire again.
That fat-bald guy with the white gloves says in no uncertain terms, the M-16 was a jam prone weapon until they;
- made the ejector (the hole in the side where the cases come out) plated in stainless steel rather than aluminium
- the little knob was added on the side to let the user ram the bolt forward with the heel of their hand
The guy attributed the failure to the "brains" in Washington confusing engineering with real experience with guns.
Now, obviously I am not an expert on guns, but could be considered an expert on watching TV. So either there is counter evidence to your idea (that M-16s were solid out of the box) or you are plain mixing the numbers and letters up of your guns.
But I guess actually helping your fellow humans is less glamourous then being the first nerd or geek to discover some faint signal which when discovered probably won't even be accepted by the rest of the world and will be debated forever.
Maybe if I didn't spend most my days wishing 80% of the human race would DIE...
I find SETI to be interesting, as discovering ETI would be up in the top three of humankind's greatest scientific discoveries...

Sure cancer is a problem. Once my co-workers discover the irony in having their PC crunching numbers to cure cancer while on their smoke break maybe I will switch. Until then I will continue looking for ET.
I doubt that the farmer envisioned billions of cows kept alive for the sole purpose of shitting. That would be stupid. I'm sure that he meant that lots of cattle owners could do this same thing.
Actually, they could just close the energy loop from the plant matter to the methane a little tighter. Envision billions of vegans kept alive for the sole purpose of shitting....
Dude, a wireless network in a box from Linksys or other somesuch is a no-brainer for those literate folks out there. People don't do it on their own because they are afraid, or don't have time or a host of other reasons. Not because it is some sort of technical-witchcraft requiring magical tattoos...
For example, I do not change my own oil in my car because I find my time and clothes more valuable than the $30 or so I pay for the oil change. I could figure it out with 20 minutes of reading the manual, a few tools and a place to lift the car. The fact that I don't do it myself is a simple choice.
Along a simliar vein, anybody that finds it important can set up a network in their home.
If I complained that it was unfair that I had to take my car to get the oil changed and that they charged for it, yes, then I'd be a loser.
So, yes, they are losers. They are losers because they refuse to RTFM. If they use their loser-dom as an excuse to pass a bunch of restrictive laws, then they're a menace.
I like fast video cards, but there is nothing using my old one to it's full potential yet. (Havent tried Doom3 or UT2k3 yet) So I won't be buying a new one.
Maybe ATI should work on finishing up the pile of crap drivers they have for the existing cards, hmmmm? Or even *gasp* write some drivers for something besides WinBlowsXP (Back Shed Edition).
So whenever they refreh their database with a query to my credit rating, are those queries going to count just like other queries? Each credit query causes a small "bad spot" hit on the rating, see Discussion about Employers using credit reports during the hiring process here:
If yes, then frequent fliers are going to get the "too many queries" credit rating penalty, which may cause some uproar due to the fact that some people will get denied credit because the CAPPSII system pushed them over the edge.

Easy, all you gotta do is hook it up to the alternator on your friend's bike and charge your laser rifle pack right up.
Careful not to charge too fast though, as your friend's bike might catch on fire.
For HPs, the LaserJet line is the box-like laser with toner, duplexer (sometimes) and ethernet port.
The "DeskJet" series is the InkJet ones for normal consumers.
From where I am (Norlight, Central WI) that connection stops dead at the NAP in Chicago.
Someone is either shut some pipes off to stop the problem, it's REALLY big, or the IP is a typo.
My bets are on a typo. Did you modify a hosts file and use that? or just the IP in a browser...
? I think you are responding to the wrong thread.
Interesting though, what type of Uranium processing require massive amounts of electricity? If what you are saying is accurate, it is pretty compelling.

I am confused.
Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions run through WebDav. (I think DreamWeaver supports it too, but I have never used it that way.)
As far as I know, if you don't run WebDav you can't run FP Extensions.
I would guess that the SharePoint web services thingy uses it too, but that's only a hunch.
More pages to put ads on I would guess.
