The main by-product is salt water thats a bit more salty than ocean water. Most plants will take in about 10 gal, remove 1 gal of drinking water and dump 9 gal back in the ocean.
Most of the energy needed is to create the high pressure needed to force the water through the membranes. Some of that can be recovered (your link is an example that does) but there are also options where you pump the water to the top of a hill and let gravity provide the constatn pressuer but you need a big hill that you can put a large salt water resivor on the top of and tidal pump that can pump to get the water to the top of the hill.
Who are you going to trust? In '95 I wondered into a student dorm in Wash DC to buy a pixel machine. The price of the device went up by the time I got there and I wondered off to the ATM and when I got back the box had a "better offer" and disappeared. It had 82 CPUs that could deal with 40 des real quick. When it comes to cryptologist they come in 3 flavors, 1) the gov't versions, 2) civilian grade and 3) amature. From what what I've seen type 2==type 3. Take a look at how Schneier describes him self if you can find a 1st edition vs the later ones.
When the V.90 standards were going though, the FCC should have told every modem company that the only way to get their stuff approved would be to make the device so it could talk teh old TTY standard. It would be trivial for any modern modem to do it, its just no one does.
Outside of the US, tty has gone away as it has been replaced mostly with SMS.
In the US the state sales tax rate is 4% (technically 0%) to about 9% while in the EU it can be 17.5% One way hides it so it can creep up and the other way its much more noticable.
One in 17 people in AU have been in court or a Tribunal (aka small claimes court). That makes AU the most sue happy place in the world as far as any numbers I've found (Calif is only about 1 in 25 and most of the US doesn't sue nearly as much)
In many of the cubical farms in the US, the density of workers to floor space is about 2x what the density of car parking space to land is. If the trend continues, a 30 floor building would need 20 floors dedicated just to parking.
Your not alone with taking your money elsewhere. When they 1st started this, a friend of mine was cuaght up in the stupididty and she changed the tickets for about 20 people to go to Europe the other way.
I was just talking to a friend about going to Orlando in June. After this nonsense, it looks like Europe is going to get the tourist money.
Any one want to bet what happens the 1st time the US finger prints an Aussie whos on the jet fighter selection comitteee? I'm betting that will sway the decision about the Euro-fighter. The decision has already been made about buying Boeing jets by two of the local airlines and they declined.
Tourism in the US is just starting to recover in the US (www.bea.gov) but international tourism is flat and its the 4th largest "import" of money into the US. The US Gov't is spending $50 mil tring to get more tourist. Germany, Japan, UK, Canada and Mexico account for about 3/4 of all visitors in to the US. France used to be major contributor but they seem to be going elsewhere.
I can get 2mb 1:1 from Melbourne from a number of providers for AU$3000/mo including tail charges. The costs of the.5 km to the major link is about $800/mo of it. Once your on the top end of filling up a T3, your up for about AU$200 per megabit (vs $150/mb in the US). On top of that I can get a 622 mb fiber link thanks to NDC & Telstra for about $3k/mo between to points in the cbd. The reason bandwidth costs so much is not enough people push the price down.
You haven't been paying attention have you? Cover bands are derivative works but the RIAA hasn't been going after them in the same way. Coverbands aren't legal unless they do far more paperwork than they tend to do. I know one band that chases down the copy right so they do do legal covers. They are called the Grand Wazoo --The band of a 1000 Dances and do some of the stuff Zappa would do and and they have music online for free. They don't make money from CD sales (they sell for cheap and give half the money to the local eye hospital) but they make their money from live shows.
A common platform does help but game developers don't tend to take advantage of any specific feature. For example not one of the N64 games is 64 bits. They are all 32 bits. The graphics coprocessor can do some impressive thigns other than just open-GL but the only thing it ever does in any of the games is rotate a N around at the start of the games. If a developer makes use of a special feature, then they end up locked into that platform and it costs too much to port to a different platform.
There is also the lack of R&D money heading into the PC world. Half a decade ago the fastest computers were the servers and compaines would spend a fortune for the latest and greatest even if spending another $1000 would buy only 2% more CPU speed. The gamers got the advantages that the server R&D paid for but now go to your local computer shop and you'll find the "server" class machines are going to be slower than the high end game PCs. That will do some funny things to pc R&D funds over the next few years.
Judges are appointed. At some lower levels their name appears on a ballot ever few years and if they get enough "no" votes, they get to find a new job. I like the idea that the public can kick out people in positions of power.
For a small payload, you need to know the address of every function the code needs. If you take something that is very standard such as a apche and then look at how common the binary is. If you do an md5 of solitare on windows systems, your only going to find about 5 to 10 different versions for all versions of windows. Apache on the other hand is often built from source so there are thousands of different variations of the same version.
On systems I need to secure, I will often throw in a few extra variables in main (which shifts the entire heap), or sometimes I'll take and older version and just apply the patches I need from the current version. There are other tricks as well such as turn on debugging or profileing on in just one of the source modules. With open source, its trivial to make a unique binary so why not do it?
Want to bet? Do you know how much professional spamers are charging to send out 500,000 messages? An idiot down the road paid them $1500 for 50,000 targetted messages to people who opted-in. Funny thing is when they 1st started talking to him, they did a "free run" of only 100 email address. He got 25 unique hits on his web site from that and some orders even. He paid up the $1500 and got 13 hits and no orders. The spamers of course got the $1500 (minus what they sent back in the form of orders) and 1/2 million peoples email boxes might have gotten more junk.
I know computer science is the worst at looking at its history, would if you support this concept, please look into why x.400 failed.
You see there was this guy called Osiris. We was killed by the worst way they knew about (feeding him to the crocks). Well it turns out that he came back to life 3 days latter and was elevated to a higher level of god. That was about 6000 years before Jesus. Oh and Osiris could heal people.... unlike any Jew 2000 years ago who would be impure if they touched someone that was ill which sort of made the prrofession of doctor unlikely. The Egyptians could cure about 95% of the common skin issues that were called leperacy at the time. They even had a bit of brain surgery down to a level that wasn't matched for about 3000 years.
With some 30+% of their stock sitting on the table waiting for the roulette ball to fall, I can't see how anyone could consider this SCOX as a safe investment. Its appears that its owners are 46% insiders, 40% institutions and the rest is small investors playing games hopeing for the high margin options to go their way. When the equivalent of 15% of the share holders are betting on you going broke in the next few months, its not a good sign. It appears that options on SCO are something like 75 times more popular than options on Ford or MSFT.
.mail would need to work like a reverse dns for that to work or do some sort of nasty forward parsing. Either way if a spamer can buy into the game, they will till they get turned off and if the entry fee is too high it will make it useless for smaller operations. Remember there are spamers who routinely shell out for t1 install fees for lines they will only use for a week.
Original purpose or not, congress funded Navstar so if (when?) things got bad in Europe they could verify what side of the line it started on.
Modern GPS recivers do the same thing with doppler but they aren't floowing its doppler, you have to guess at it just so you can find the singal. And you need to do that with all the sats you want to listen to and at a high rate of speed (if the reciever is going into an aircraft)
Thats not just a big static pile of cash. It gets lots added to it every single day. They could recover this fine by simply printing XP Second Edition on all the OS boxes leaving the factory.
If you depsoit $1 billion dollars into a short term deposit account (say 6 months), you can't take it out without fines, that doesn't count as cash but it does count as a liquid asset.
$3 billion in fines could be extracted just from the profit they made in the last few years in the EU without much of an effect. It took the stock market about 4 hours to figure out this isn't a fine but a license fee to keep doing what they have been doing.
The only way to stop this nonsense is to break up MSFT into compaines that have to compete with each other but no one has the guts to do that. If Rockefeller was alive to see this he would have been wondering why he couldn't get away with the same thing.

How about in place of the weight, you put a few 10,000 rpm hard drives. That would sure cut down on some of the jitter.
pcap is tcpdump. Modern versions of tcpdump have moved most everything but main() and the special packet display routines into libpcap.

It seems you are wrong. There are at lest a pair of Kangaroos in Austria at one of the zoos.

Thats great but how about the 10% or so of the ISPs out there that are so clueless they can't get email to work properly?
