i think this would be more useful predicting the big picture, droughts, blizzards, hurricanes,and the like. Living in the Virgin Islands I pay quite a bit of attention to Dr. Greys hurricane reports. He uses computer simulations from data of years past to come up with a reasonable estamate of the next hurricane season. Most years he's close, a few years he's been dead on. Now what can we do about it..well nothing.. i've been through 7 hurricanes. one of witch was 200+ M.P.H. winds. and you can't do anything about it.. but if this type of predictions can be used for droughts or any other farming purpose it would greatly increce the world food supply...Think of the children..yea i know a bit sappy but hey anything that helps us lowley Humans get along better in our enviroment i'm all for it....
This happened to me last week. Norton caught 4 emails with KLEZ, and stoped and deleted them..after the fourth i went to send a mail.(i use opera 6.01 running winXP)and got a mail server error (something to the effect of hard disk on server out of space) so i did a full system scan and found Chernobyl. i thiought this was ratther amazing... since i run weekly scans and it wasn't there before..glad to see they figured it out
if the company doesn't sign the contract and you get layed off.. just post a link on slashdot...they'll beg you to come back to work and fix it after a good slashdotting..:)
But here in the Virgin Islands (about 70 miles east of Purto Rico) most houses and buildings get thier water from a cistern (think basement full of rain water) the coqui infest the cisterns and breed and lay ggs...well they also poison the water(thier skin has some nasty slimey stuff on it )..granted we don't drink cistern water for other reasons but this has been known to cause very strange and painful rashes.. since we do shower with cistern water... Now that we know about the caffine...i think its time to clean that cistern.....mwhahahah!!! and they are F*@king annoying
why don't they just use RF absorbant paint on the insides of the train.. seeing as it's not the phones that do the dammage it's the REFLECTION of the RF waves thats is putting it over the limits...
OK i gotta ask..My local cable co constantly overlays the network commercials with lame ass local comercials for thier own channel or crap that i or no one else watches.. now if i skip those commercials.. who am i screwing?
Here in the Virgin Islands we've had high speed wireless internet for quite a few years about three...Here's a link it works really well. They've recently added MMDS digital cable with around 30 channels. This is pretty much the only option down here since the telco/cable co has a lock on all the copper on all three islands. For $100 a month i get 3MBits sdsl and 30 channels of digital cable it's great..I'm not sure of the brand of digital cable boxes the use Genstar? but the 802.11b radios for the internet are made by breezecom and are pretty sturdy hardware.
Here's something to think about...I have a win98 box and a WinXP box on the same network (linux box as DHCP,router,firewall) try getting the two win boxes to share drives and printers..HA it took three reinstalls of the network protocols and damned if i know why it worked in the end. the win98 box still can't print to the USB printer on the XP box but that's just a minor issue...still silly as hell.. you know they have problems when they can't even interoperate with thier own products...Just a food for thought
This is something i've always wondered.. how much if any of the windows code is "borrowed" and how would you find it or prove it? you have to sign a NDA just to see the source. Has anyone who's seen the source code for windows looked at it close enough to tell if any of the code is "borrowed" from other works? Would this be a real good reason MS hides it's source behind said NDAs? I'm wondering if part of the DOJ agreement shouldn't be for a group of coders to go over MS source looking for matches of known software?
Would you put it past MS to do something like this expecting never to get caught or expecting thier lawyers to get them out of it..as we see them doing now?

DooD i loved my first speak'n'spell..one of the first things i took apart..:p give you an idea i'd grow up to be a hackH^H^H^H^H^Hcomputer tech..... any way back on topic.....
you may not want to hack this device "Fisher-Price will be introducing a new version, the Pixter Plus, in August. The new model will have more memory, allowing up to 20 pictures to be stored, a silvery plastic case and a flexible plug-in screen light for playing in the dark. There will also be nine new software packs, including a couple of Disney titles."
If Disney is involved it's DMCA protected and that will just suck, I got interested in computers by taking ALL of my childhood toys apart and figuring out how they worked..my moto was "it ain't broke but i'll fix it anyway"
This article should have been posted on a Monday so everyone getting to work could chime in with thier "just got outt of rush hour traffic" two cents... now that would have been funny?
I've seen this before i have an ex-roomate that couldn't wear watches for the same reason. I think it has some thing to do with the bodys electromagnetic field. I'd try a true windup watch if you can find one.:)
Sorry, i haven't been back since 95' I now live in the Virgin Islands..here your allowed to drink and drive..just wear your seat belt..and the drinking age is 18..and we have casinos..strangly enough we don't have that many accidents..it's either alot of practice or it's the fact you can't drive much faster than 15 mph here..;)
I think it's because way back when one of the major land owners in California sat on the board of Goodyear tires..yup build LOTS of roads and no public transportation and you'll sell alot of tires.
I lived in Reno for 2 yrs. Same rules apply. There's two rules about alcohol in NV. 1)If your outside it has to be in plastic no bottles or glasses 2)If your in a car you can have a drink as long as your not sitting in the drivers seat( which is why there so many chinese fire drills performed on the streets of Reno)..;)
They'll give you an upgrade credit if you'd like to trade up..they'll also give you credit..i think $100 for trading in you Nvidia for a new 8500 AIW.. sounds like they're scared...I personaly wouldn't trade mt Geforce4 4600 for anything..;)
By reading the Headlines today I get that...While finding the Programing zone we have pay to recycle our PCs or play hardball tactics with the devil wearing solar powered wearables one the moon, surfing faster on 802.11b... wow and i didn't want to get out of bed this morning...Good Morning Slashdot!!
What if it's a blue wire attached to a little box that says Breezecom 802.11b on it? yes folks here we have WDSL service.. http://www.wdsl.net..we have this local phone monopoly that thinks for some silly reason a hardwired 64Kbps dsl line should be $1000 a month. yea I know i told them to put down the pipe. This service works well most of the time and gets me 3MB for $100 a month...pretty neat huh?
This doesn't sound right...we can't even make efficent solar power stations here on earth what makes this guy think it can be done on the moon. Granted the moon has no atmosphere to get in the way of the solar rays, but wouldn't the earths atmosphere hinder the transmition of the microwave beams transmitting the "power" back to earth.. just a thought
