Yes, and then an amatuer will eventually publish them all on the internet.. Meaning, a simple Google search will longterm be more powerful than the US government database...
Well if you doctor is getting paid for picking those drugs, then yes, then that would be next to go after...:-)
Personally, if Google was not specifying that the links were "sponsored", I would agree that is was deceptive behavior and think it was wrong. From my understanding, though, they do seperate their paid for links from the other search results so as a consumer I feel I am well informed... Meaning, when I look as the "sponsored links" section, I am fully aware that these companies paid for these links. That to me is what matters...
Well the thing I like best about this appearing on slashdot is that now someone will fork the code and get it opensource again. At least that is the hope...
Sounds like the Bush administration is really startting to take a "tough" stanch against terrorism now... Or maybe Pres. Bush was just playing with the big red button again...:-)
The slowness is not what gets you, but rather fuel. If you stand a standard Cessna 152 with long range tanks and plot an IFR flight plan with reserve, you would be stunned with how little of a distance you can travel with plan at only 125mph. That leaves it only as an VFL platform, which is OK, but not ideal in my opnion... That is just my opinion, though...:-)
Nice Zodiac, by the way.. I have several friends with similar RV's, and I am quite envious...:-)
The Citabria I think has a handheld unit... The handheld units are not know for their reliability. Meaning, if he did crash hard, then the ELT probably didnt fair so well... If it did actually survive and go off, then they would already know where he was because the signal is received by the cospas-sarat satellite and not by recovery aircraft...
Now here is something I do know... Are you sure you do not know me already??:-)
I used to own a Turbo Viking (Super Viking with Rajay Turbos), and I can tell you that it is terrible as an aerobatic airplane.. It is just way too heavy for anything other than gentle 1G rolls...
Thanks for correcting the error... I was way off...:-)
Also, I agree with you that he might have been just going up for a slow flight, as this aircraft would be very good at doing this. I have a couple hours in a Piper Cub, and I also very much enjoyed it just buzzing around... Seeing how slow the stall on this airplane, though, I could not see any reason for loosing it other than a structural failure. Meaning he could have even pancaked this little bird in trees if he had engine trouble...
One of the other article says he took off flying a Citaborea, which means he was going up to do aerobatics because this is a quite slow airplane for anything else.... (NOTE: Citaborea means aerobatic spelled backwards). I do not remember him being an experienced aerobatic pilot, which is a considerably different skill than just being a pilot. Meaning, I feel I am a great pilot, but a not so good aerobatic pilot other than weather related recovery type turns. I would guess he probably got in a little over his head while doing aerobatics, and went down.
I hope this is not the case, but this type of thing is fairly common in the aerobatic world. Hence, the reason why they require the use of parachute(s)...
I think I know what M$ wants them to do. DHCP has really not changed much over a number of years, and I am a little annoyed that M$ just decided to selectively "change" the way it does IP broadcasting in Vista. I can understand the frustration of the ISP in dealing with this issue. Meaning, if the user wants connectivity, then they need to change their registry settings and not change the server settings. Vista needs to "play" fair, or not "play" at all...
I disagree.. What ould endanger 'security' is willfully violating the Fourth Amendment of the Bill of Rights longterm.... I understand the security concerns, and they have a valid point, but they must work within our Bill of Rights...
It is not a big secret understanding what they want. They want to monitor all communications in the US, and be flagged when the system finds things they are looking for. They have wanted this for a long time, even before this administration, and was the whole reason of the original Echelon Network design. Meaning, for the rest of the world they have been monitoring traffic for some time, but were prevented from doing so to its own US citizens. Now they want this power and think that they can justify it by using the 'terrorist' angle...
"bit player"... 24% of all servers shipping with Linux I do not think is a bit player...
You my sir either do not understand GPL, or you implemented your design quite poorly. Simply using Linux does not constitute needing to "release your source". Also, if you do not want to deal with the GPL, great!! Use BSD instead....:-)
The problem would be the video. Meaning, if you go with a thin client approach, it would be very difficult to get enough bandwidth across many devices to get at least the 15fps required... I suspect it is a blend of the two. Meaning, they have less powered computers (probably flash based) that drive the end user, and then a main file server the distributes the video data.
This application is also ideal for Linux. Meaning, linux is best in computers or embedded devices where you need high reliability and you want to be able to specify the exact amount of the functionality it should have. Windows CE, at least in my opinion, does not stand a chance here..
In my opinion, the best part about this is Star Office. Eventhough in reality it probably is quite unlikely many people will use it, from the vendor's standpoint, it was nearly trivial to implement... That is the true power of OSS, which is over the longterm adding allot of functionality with limited cost.
I would not think that "patching" their visual voicemail app to be that difficult. I do not know how it stores its values, but I suspect that if you spent a couple of hours one could easily figure out its structure, you could probably just put an app that talks to a secondary app on the Asterisk server and pushes the data into the application. I dont have an iPhone, though, so it wont be me doing the work.
Also, in my opinion, anyone who honestly believes that a 17 yr "figured out" the iPhone JTag interface is nieve. I admit that someone that young is ideal for releasing the data because it is very unlikely that AT&T will go after a kid...
Its great to know that they have figured out the JTag interface, but I question how useful any of this is. Meaning, even if you can make/take calls on all the networks, the visual voicemail and SMS would still be non functioning due to software needed on the AT&T network. The SMS probably can be easily fixed by using a different application, but the visual voicemail would definitely be more difficult to get around.
Listen, I understand what you are trying to say here, and when I used to work on Windows servers exclusively I probably would have agreed with you. Having worked several years now with Linux/BSD/OSX/Solaris servers, though, I can honestly tell you that there is absolutely no comparison in reliability of Windows against Unix in the server enviroment. I mean it is just not even close, and the idea of Windows competing against Unix boxes for reliability is truely laughable. For example, it is not uncommon for me to have Unix servers in production having > 1000 day uptimes running flawlessly, but this type of thing is was unheard of in WIndows world unless it is just sitting there doing nothing.
In short, you would make allot of reasons why to use Windows Servers instead of Unix, but then it comes to reliability and performance, there is just no comparison.
It does not look like its percision is very good, or at least no where near what a pneumatic approach can give you. I mean in the video it bearly could write huge letters. Obviously design evolution could help in this, but unlike a biological system, it will not get better percision with more use. Personally, I think that Pneumatic systems are the best for arms because their speed, accuracy, repeatablility, and sheer power are just amazing. I will admit that they are not without their problems as well, though...
This is only for modules. What I was thinking about was more of an entire abstraction layer similar to paravirtualization where you could "hot swap" entirely new kernels while having very low processes latencies in the change over. Maybe something like were you have a secondary kernel (Bios Maybe?) that pauses the running system, moves the resources over to the new kernel, and then "un-pauses" it. It certainly would not be as easy to do as I am describing here, though, because there are a huge number of complexities involved to pull this off... Because a Plug & Play Kernels is such a cool concept, though, I suspect someone somewhere is looking at the feasability of doing this...:-)
Very good point... I wonder if anyone has written an fault submitting application for th kernel. Maybe something similar to M$'s strategy except that once the app is installed, it automatically sends useful log file data to a central site where reporting facilities could be used on it. Meaning, the release of the kernel would not only be references back from people, but by also looking at the metrics of servers actually running it.. Probably something else to look at.
Slashdot Mirror
Let me be the one to answer that.... "NO".. It wont... :-)
Yes, and then an amatuer will eventually publish them all on the internet.. Meaning, a simple Google search will longterm be more powerful than the US government database...
Drug reps are OK... Paying doctors to prescribe their drugs, which has happened in the past, is not... This type of behavior is no allowed...
Well if you doctor is getting paid for picking those drugs, then yes, then that would be next to go after... :-)

Do what you want, but I just use OSX and not worry about... :-)
