the interesting thing about theories is that they all attempt to explain something. why there are bumfights between bible thumpers and scientists three times a day over these things has always mystified me.
"repeater" stations have been in use since the dawn of radio, that part is in the public domain.
marker buoys have been in use by divers since the days of the subminiature tube, that part is in the public domain.
calculating position by reference from a last known point is in the public domain, sailors have been doing that since they could plot a star position in the 15th or 16th century.
until they get used to making consumers out of their wage slaves, the business looks like a dead end to college-age kids.
because it is.
look up Henry Ford in the encyclopedia. his $5 daily wage changed the economy, allowing workers to buy what they made. the trend now is to McWages, and that doesn't cut it, unless you are "Bob" in Bangalore.
you're up against resource hogs, switch. you don't like your ISP, switch. with cable, you have one choice of end-link ISP. with the major telcos, there are dozens.
the previous part has the meat in it. the photographer was dazzled by pretty colors of rot on a pipe flange here and there. we can be like that.
having spent a moderate amount of time maintaining cooling towers, in yet another previous life, it's just another pan of airborne waterous spore breeders to me....
it's in interim use... 800 MHz athlon whitebox machine, 768k, 30 Gb HDA. you don't put anything up to date on a boatanchor like that, especially since anything up to date will eat the whole machine up before you try and start a single app.
software vendors are firmly locked into the attitude that you, LICENSOR, have no rights other than to buy new stuff when we drop support for the old stuff and design the new stuff to only superficially work with the old stuff.
like, for instance, all of the "cool features" use new runtimes and new features, and none of it is backwards compatible.
so is anybody really surprised here? if the user hash code field they recover is all over the warez circuit, no matter what the EULA says, someday the number of hits on you is going to run over some trigger number in update. at that point, you will run into a block.
had to reinstall windows ME legally on a machine last weekend. got all the critical updates pulled off on IE, and from that point on, update kept returning "thank you, you have a Mac, you can't update here." everything worked fine the next day, and I got the rest of the criticals done.
I can only assume they have all sorts of wonderful blocks and trigger numbers over there, and since they own the software and you own only a cancelled check, it's just tough damn luck.
there is a LOT of competition for superior positions out there in the military. anything can blow your career up. if things are tight enough, sneezing in formation could do it.
still in deep testing, a few units mounted in test planes by the manufacturers and a couple airlines, nobody is using it regularly. IIRC, there is a limited authority to use the tool from the FAA, but it is not type-accepted for regular passenger use at this time.
Honeywell, for one, has been hinking around with it for 12+ years, and because single-source doesn't cut it, Sundstrand also has licenses and has their own version.
basically because the western has been out of favor for a long time.
I refer, of course, to the infamous 250-shot revolver.
basically, back in the black and white days, nobody EVER reloaded their guns.
you never saw any recoil, either, but that's because those movies were made when men were MEN and sheep ran scared, and those actors were truly made of steel, riding horses at a full gallop and able to hit a bad guy in the back of the head from 300 yards with a pistol with a four-inch barrel. and their arms never moved when the revolvers and rifles fired.
and the scenery along the trail repeated itself every 60 yards or so, but then we're not going for the top 2,000,327 movie lies here, are we?
radium paint didn't glow because radium did... not in that concentration, or in those colors. the radium was mixed into a heavy coat of standard enamel with a whole bunch of phosphorescent pigments, which glowed.
until they burned out. old WWII radio dial markings from military gear have a lot of brown markings. they are radium paint with the phosphors all burnt out atomically, like a ghost image on a burned-in computer screen or monitor screen on an ATM. still radioactive and dangerous if ingested.
radium, polonium, radiocobalt, and other strong alpha emitters will emit a Czerinkon glow of blue when in the presence of hydrogen or water, which may be what you are thinking of. the blue glow is that of ionized hydrogen from the alpha hits, however, and should be thought of as a form of phosphorescence.
no support, no parts, just give back the 800 number and get the (f) out.
take the losses and teach a lesson: building a division to irregularly "count" votes without safeguards, and having your CEO pushing a candidate who was widely seen as becoming president through a vote steal is truly irresponsible.
I will appropriate somebody else's sig for emphasis... approximate quotes... "the four boxes of freedom... soap, ballot, jury, and ammo." diebold election systems appears hell-bent on skipping the jury box. they must die.

and at MS, we know, we KNOW, who that is.
it ain't the folks waving checks at the register....

something like a java real time hack respects no particular OS, assuming it has the ability to speak back to the internet.
no patent forrrrr you.

I have plenty of excellent AV equipment with RCA jacks.
I do not want pigopolists to force me to replace it all when I must go HDTV.
screw 'em in the market, so they understand it.
most importantly, it never breaks.
if they're in politics or influencing politics, they should be public.

yeah, that's it, they all switched to vista and their computers won't access the MS codebase any more.
thank you, glad to have cleared that up.

died from windows rot, so it needed a refresh.

CGI overload message. this means server fart under load.
probably all the apps information. naysayer, meet the Business Software Association, also known down around the docks as "the muscle."
can't RTFA because they're slashdotted already.
just ask the leaders of the soviet union.
period.
absolutely how the bushleaguers do business in every way.
it would have been more entertaining if they watched "Billy Jack" instead of "the Godfather" during their formative years.

the only responsible ballot is paper, guarded, and kept under lock until all challenges are met.
