well if he REALLY needs breaks he can simply turn the fan in reverse you imbeciles. altho at the speeds he's traveling i doubt breaks are much of a concern. its just cool ok?
if anybody wonders why he built it then look at your stupid case mods.
What can I say about this post? First of all you failed to spell refridgerator correctly. Secondly you have some serious dangly bit in that second paragraph. You failed to spell moderate properly. You used explicatives which are certainly not allowed in formal writing. The worst of course is that you are an anonymous coward. While we are on the subject of correction I would like to point out that you CAN gain insight from imperfect communication if you so desire. Ignoring a point simply because it is syntacticly incorrect in a partial way shows that you are unable to communicate on all but the lowest level. If only but for syntax we as a species would be still in the dark ages. It is toleration and your own attempt to understand the speaker that will gain you knowledge. If we could all practice that sort of personal moderation perhaps we could advance at a faster rate as a species.
I have no doubt that there are errors in this post. Feel free to correct them. Perhaps while you are doing so you will see that point which I have made. As a result your quality of life may improve.
Mo, you ARE sending photons. You have 3 photons involved. 1 and 2 which are entangled and seperated by a distance. 3 interacts with 1 then is transmitted to 2 and then interacts with 2 in a way which preserves the original entanglement plus the changes incurred through interaction with 3. Thus transmitting the changes of interacting with 3 from 1 to 2.
You are still left with having to transmit photon #3.
You assume that evolution teaches against creationism. You assume that evolution is an attack on creationism. Unfortunate (for creationists) that the evidence simply supports evolution and not creationism. Creationists are mad because they perceive that they have been attacked by evolutionists. While it is true that creationists are mad, it isnt because evolutionists have attacked them, it is because scientific evidence simply contradicts what creationists believe. This is a perceived attack where no attacker exists unless you presume that the evidence itself is the attacking entity. The evidence simply exists, it does not attack.
If creationists' faith is so easily shaken then perhaps it was weak from the start. So easily brought down by a non-attack. That's some pretty shakey stuff.
Granted, a very young child may not clearly see a distinction between fantasy and reality, but that's something most of them grow out of fairly quickly, as long as the proper context is there. Most people would agree that children grow out of the belief in Santa Claus fairly easily yet they continue to believe in this God character....interesting....
Its still just another process of cracking water to hydrogen. At what point do humans and cars compete for clean water? You'll never have enough fresh water to extract hydrogen from. As it is we're already competing for fresh water. Sure water is effectively cheap now but what does the price of water do when you start pouring it into tanks along with your starch/enzyme cracking process?
the HI factor has little to do with it now. Gnome or KDE isnt exactly like windows but its point and shootable ENOUGH that anyone could use it.
THE problem is still lack of all that fun software ppl know and love and is advertised in the mainstream. MOST of that software can not be obtained for linux/bsd.
You can make argument all day that there are lots of linux games out there but if Joe Blow is going to play wc2 you can bet its windows time. and thats a fact jack. When the market makes a decision to develope all software for windows/mac/linux/bsd then you'll have competition against windows. Until then, forget it. And they'd all better be autoinstallers. Joe blow is not going to compile anything. You can bet yer market on that. Joe Blow does not want to fight with flash, java, random vido player on youtube/google/whatever or look for drivers. when linux gets all that worked out and any game joe blow buys will work on his pc, then you can have windows competition, otherwise forget it.
all you nerds can argue all day long but tahts what joe blow wants

Except that you dont have to install an OS in yer car to get it running. You dont have to chose between windows/linux/bsd b4 you can drive it off the lot. The OS market was flawed from the beginning. MS could have seen fit to make tons of $$$$ off windows compat apps and given the OS away long ago after making it on the map with their buy off of qdos and subsequent bluff/save to ibm. Dont get me wrong, I dont mind ppl making money, thats how markets work, but lets face it. How many ppl would be irate if they had to chose an OS b4 driving away a new toyota?
I for one am sick of this OS/copyright/ip/uspto/riaa/mpaa war.
Oh and speaking of that, how long b4 somebody figures out the data stream being broadcast by the camera? People have police radio scanners, why not police drone tv scanners? Do we assume these things have encrypted data streams? or is it PAL, NTSC? Scrambling schemes are cracked all the time. Does it now become illegal to receive and decode said stream?
So will RC model flying now become illegal? I can see anyone with a radio on the right frequency knocking these things down. I assume they'll be on different frequencies (gps nav was noted as a possibility) than FCC specifications for RC transmitters, but whats to stop criminals from going outside legal frequencies and busting these things? Given that, will anyone with an RC aircraft transmitter become suspect?
When will people learn that when you put stuff on a public network that it's public?
Also, advertising is GAMBLING. As an advertiser your HOPE that people will watch/listen/read the ads. You cant force them to do it. The primis of advertising is that some percentage of people will pay attention to the ads and buy the products.

Well, I'm proud of all the/.ers who caught the wackiness in the electric universe artical a bit back, but where in the ACHE did this nut come from? IANARS but more than 100% is automatic wacko. What 4 lunitics modded this up to 5? It should have a -1 by now. If you dont already know that compressing air costs a LOT more than simply charging batteries, you need getting shot. Heat transfer is not an effecient process. The numbers in this comment are completely made up. If you use 24kWh to charge attempt charging these tanks you can not possibly get 24kWh of waste heat available AND charge any tanks. 24 - 24 = 0 as far as I know from checking last. I could go on and on about this comment but isnt it already obviously a complete mess? As pressure rises in a tank it takes ever more energy to squeeze that next little bit in there. When will people learn that adding steps in an energy exchange process is always a loss?
electrolysis on water for hydrogen: less energy storage than batteries. electricity to compressing air: less energy storage than batteries. electricity excites Pd/D mesh to 'fusion' to heat to er... I mean background noise
I gave up on Charter's DNS a few weeks ago when I continued to be able to reach my default gateway and any other known IP during "outages". I started running my own caching BIND direct to the roots. This has been extremely many times faster than Charter's DNS has been for many many months. Even when Charter is up, it's DNS often is not or is very slow. If they start to block DNS to other than Charter we'll be screwed; no other providers exist. I've totally given up on tech support unless its really really REALLY out for more than a couple days. The last time my service was out a Charter lineman had FILTERED MY DROP AND FAILED TO RESTORE IT. Average downstream speeds have been reduced as of late and quite frankly what used to be a pretty darn good service has started to stink.
Fellow Charter users, make your voice heard! We're paying their bills and they are rewarding us with terrible service.
I'm not a bit surprised Charter has been mucking about with DNS since its down at least one good 30-60 minute period every 2 or 3 days.
Yes I felt the same way. I considered myself posting about efnet's troubles, however, I regret that the efnet home page was linked in the article. I knew that if I were to post an artical here, that I would not link the page and would suggest that people do not go there. They already have troubles and/.ing cant help. If anyone can resist, I recommend not going to efnet's web page as it is already flailing in agony.
I'm currently in and out of gblx east and lightning and well, its probably about time to just quit trying for a while. Maybe if we help reduce traffic they can recover from...something...
Maybe you should see what they did right here in my home town one year ago! Not too far away from Atlanta, its already been operating for ove a year. How do THOSE guys make the first record? Southwire is one of the largest building wire companies in the world.

Southwire Celebrates One Year Of Operating HTS Power Delivery System
(Carrollton, Ga.- January 5, 2001) - A year after activating its high-temperature superconducting (HTS) power delivery system, Southwire Company provided a glimpse into the superconductor project's future today as it celebrated the anniversary and the system's recent milestone of operating for 5,000 hours at a 100-percent load.
oh i agree totally, but you miss my point. the person looking to do this course is even less aware of history than i am. However I would like to at least point out that I have used an Oscope I have done field repair with paper clips and soldering irons and dont forget the duct tape. BTW, my grandma used to fix everything with "waur"
Maybe one of these days i'll be an elite old coot like you are. Those 60 yr old'ers just have way too much for us 36 yr olders to compete with....
except that you forgot that xerox wasnt the one responsible for giving DOS to bill gates it was the QDOS guy who derived QDOS from CPM and it was xerox that was responsible for the gui demo taht got gates and jobs nutso about the gui thing. not withstanding the 1968 guy who already invented the mouse/gui combo even b4 xerox...
I see a bunch of you waiting to jump on the bandwagon "yeah yeah i wannaaa take that course". Here you have a bandwagon created by someone who knows so little about the subject that they have asked the question on/. "where can i find this info". This is my pet peave. UNI courses created by people who dont know the subject matter already. I once had to take an intro to computers course at a tech school as a prerequesite to some coding courses. The teacher told me blantently, "I dont have to know anything about computers. I'm just here to do my job whatever it is they tell me to do." It was true. She knew nothing about computers. It was a daily task. At one point in the course she was to explain hexidecimal and binary number systems. When it came down to the wire, I had to explain to her and the class how counting in hex works because in essence, people take base 10 for granted while never understanding what baseX really means. That is to start at 0 counting to the last digit and moving to the next place repeating the 0 to last digit count....so you could count in hex as easily as you could count in base 10. She was the teacher in this class. yet she knew nothing about the material and in fact had no interest in it.
My friend, a year is not enough. If you have lived the history of modern computing as I have, if you have coded on a C64, an Apple][, a coco, an IBM-PC(8088), XT(8088) AT(286) 386 486 Pentium/II/III, watched Gates rise to power sen the internet from a telnet shell, irc from a printer/kb terminal, bbs'd at 300baud on up to 56k ppp dialups and finally to dsl anda modern ethernet based internet, you have lived slept eaten and breathed the history of comptures and love them as if they were sentient.....then perhaps you would not be asking such a question "where do i find this info". Why are you teaching this course? I dont want to be mean about it, but its exactly this sort of thing that we are dealing with here that causes the acute stagnation of the industry's development that we now have. M$ is not innovation. Ask Gates and he will tell you that it is. Ask me and I will tell you that I have lived it from the beginning when M$ was nobody. From when the PC was just being conceived. I ate the history. I dont have to ask where to get it. It's all over the net.
Ask yourself again why you are doing this. Ask if your contribution is stagnation or innovation. Ask yourself if you are doing this to keep your job or if you should even keep your job. Ask yourself if you are contributing to the output of misguided computer industry people that we are now producing.
Does everyone still want to jump on the M$ band wagon or learn from ppl who do not know? Or would you rather learn from ppl who love and breath the machinery we work on and truly know the history?
