I've got two of those for my lights above my UPS system. They take 193 watts in total with the ballast. Funny thing is a 100 W incandescent produces more useful light and only uses 100W.
The mercury in CFLs happens to be in an organic form meaning its already bonded with Carbon. That is the best form to enter the waterways and the food chain. Its on the order of more than trillions of times more likely to enter the food chain than elemental mercury.
Why? It only needs to load some code from the disk to some RAM and then start it. That means the CPU needs to be in the right mode to run 32 or 64 bit code, init the VM system enough to use some memory, init the disk drive and read in some blocks. It doesn't need to touch the display unless something bad happened. I suspect that most of what a typical BIOS does isn't needed at all unless it can't find a kernel on the disk.
I had heard that FS was one of Bill's pet projects from back when he was trying to get his pilots license. I'm not sure if thats true or not but several of the high level people at Microsoft can fly their own planes.
When there are billions of people around the world that get a new business idea and hunt for a way to market it, there will always be spamers willing to take their cash even if every web page in they read says its a bad idea. How many people send their cash off to Nigeria every day?
The people running the spaming operating get paid by the idiots who find some cheap "op in email marketing company". The guys sending the email out get paid even if the replay rate is 0.
I think when you can follow the money and see that much of the current market cap is a result of retirement fund pyramid schemes then I think saying its BS may be a fair call.
Even the simple stuff the SPARC may do better. I have a sun x2200 with 4 AMD cores and 8 gig of ram running Freebsd 6 that I use as a shell box. I also have a two cpu Netra 210 (IIIi) with 2 gig of ram that I also use as shell box. If I open an mailbox with something like elm, it turns out that the sparc machine is 2 to 4 times faster and never seems to pause while sometimes the amd box seems to get slow for a bit. The sparc does a much better job of dealing with heavy and odd loads than the x86 box does. I use SPARC on my net facing systems since its stack is in hardware which makes stack smashing in C much more difficult than on an x86 platform.
In the early days of sun they were doing things like everyone else. They were building 68xxx boxes that ran BSD unix. They started to lead when they did their own SPARC CPU and started pushing for faster cheaper and double the speed every 2 years. After that they and AT&T came up with System V as a way to make the hardware stable. I think their young blood has ignored the stability part since there are way too many changes in their current operating systems. The young blood also likes including everything in the Operating System and don't seem to be able to wrap their head around the concept of an Operating Environment (like Solairs) and an Operating System (Sun OS). Right now all of the security professionals I know are running Solaris 9 yet Sun will not do the two weeks work it takes to port that to their new hardware and that has costs them a fortune. Most large Sun shops don't need new software since their decade old stuff works just fine, they only need new hardware to replace older equipment or when they expand.
What do you mean nothing can touch Niagara ? My brand new T1000 is 1/2 of the speed of a Netra 210 under the best loads we can devise for the T1000. In 6 months there will be no low end SPARC hardware that doesn't suck. The T1 CPU is only good for moving massive amounts of data around randomly in memory or running highly threaded code that is busy chasing pointers all the time. I have yet to see an example of either of those that weren't written by idiot programmers. I will keep buying SPARC hardware as long as I can run Solaris 9 on it and it will fit in my old 900 mm deep racks. I won't touch Solaris 10 since it has so many bugs the longest patched up time is about 3 months so I'm not running that on production hardware.
It depends... the insurance company will claim that the patient agreed to the copay so its not a kickback. They keep the pharmacy in line by threats to pull business if they don't cooperate. Of course each state has different laws so your state might just have its act together.
The problems aren't technical so its helpful to follow the money. Consider how the payment of an average prescription for a cheap antibiotic in the US. The customer will give the pharmacist the prescription and their "pharmacy card" which will often have a $25 co-pay and they think they are getting a great deal. The pharmacy sends the detail to the medical buying club who may reject it or send back 3 numbers. The 1st number is how much the customer is to pay, the second will be the price to put on the invoice and the 3rd number is how much money gets transfered from the pharmacy to the insurance company or the other way around. The result is the $4 bottle of pills cost the patient $25 yet the price on the invoice says $43 so they think they are getting a good deal and the pharmacy has to send $22 of the money collected back to the insurance company. If you want a good deal, check the prices online and let your pharmacist know you will be paying cash..
There are places like Dallas Texas that are now using cameras and not timers or current loops to determine when cars are approaching so they can do smarter things. Does anyone know who makes those systems?
Don't forget that at least one subscriber of AOL thinks they are paying for these free services.
Add in the point that the service isn't "free" if there was any advertising (including advertising for AOL) included at any time.
As far as the disclaimers that the user needs to take care of their own data, that is fine if equipment failure caused problems and reasonable steps didn't help but pulling the plug on a service with no warning is wrong and I expect a judge may see it that way.
Sorry, there is prior art in the audio field too but feel free to send in cash to the patent office since they will rubber stamp it. I just want my cut or I can let them know about the prior art.
Except its not the IPv4 address we are running out of, its the number of blocks of address space that we are running out of and that was made worse when they stopped allocating/24. Every dual homed network out there will need a 2 routing entries even if they only use IPv6 addresses. We could double the IPv4 address space by using the protocol version bits and most (leaf node) routers won't even care.
You don't know too many greybeards do you? I'm surprised that modern drives are susceptible to ultrasonic under 80 khz but real old drives and drums were known to have problems with low audible frequency harmonics. A simple solution to this problem is stamp a butterfly like pattern in the arm of the head. The same thing works for power lines (which is what the small dumbbell looking things are near the insulators)
Lumens cover a steradian. I would love to see a nice simple description of how to measure the lumens produced by a given light source yet I haven't seen one and I've been hunting for a while.
The obvious solution is to use public/private key authentication and disallow password logins.
No the obvious is to hack sshd to require both if its properly configured. Right now its one or the other but not both. A password can be guessed yet keys allow for a cracked machine to open the doors for lots of others. Sure you can password encrypt your key files but that isn't the same as using a key and a password on the remote system that requires frequent updates.
For anti *AA, I would think that the preferred peers would be on your local net (i.e. same cable segment, same DSLAM, same house) or very, very far away and never in the same country.
Its not so much owning the phone lines but owning the conduit its in and charging $7 per meter per year for anyone else to use it. If the local councils took back ownership of that as a right of way (like it was back in the day when the PMG ran the phones), then local carriers would be able to run fibre to the home. Right now my house is about 300 meters away from getting fibre but it might as well be half a world away.

The US is one of the few governments in the world that doesn't allow its self to have copyrights.

With python you pay into that false hope of divinity. Like all programs written in python, there is always more to do and its never quite done.

Can we just modify the bittorrent protocol so that port 80 is fine and each packet starts with an GET /$RANDOM\n HOST $RANDOM?
Languages evolve and the ' is going away so you can get over it now or later.
