Quite a few years ago I worked on a seismic recording system for Taiwan. They had the intention of using correlated earthquake detections to shut down stuff like elevators before the seismic waves hit Taipei. I have no idea whether they actually got that part of it to work.
The most important thing that IPv6 does is quadruple the size of the Internet address field from 32 bits to 128 bits.
Quadruple? 2^32 * 2 != 2^128. In fact, there is a very distinct difference. I would hope a writer for the M.I.T. Tech Review would know the difference.
The Tech Review was right, 32 * 4 = 128. Note that they said the size of the Internet address field (number of bits), not the number of addresses.
Re:EU Galileo should offer even more accuracy.

Unfortunately I think tunnel vision (just like a horse !)
Some Macintosh models have clocks that reset to August 27, 1956 (and to a time other than midnight, I believe). This is the birthdate (and time) of Ray Montagne, the Apple engineer and programmer who designed the chip that controlled the PRAM on those models.
Looks like Ray beat me out of the womb by about 3 days.
The ECHONET communications protocol is designed to work over a variety of lower level interconnects. They show Power Line, Wireless, Extended HBS (whatever that is), IrDA, and LonTalk.
There is a layer they call "Protocol Difference Absorption Processing Block" that then is supposed to make all these mediums look the same to the higher levels. We'll see:)
In Grant County (eastern Oregon) the mule deer walk around residential streets nibbling on people's gardens. Unlike the white tailed deer we had in Vermont, these deer aren't afraid of people or cars.
The court said that if the RIAA wants to subpoena ISPs for information about P2P file traders, it will need to get that additional authority from Congress
Well, I mean, how much can that possibly cost to buy?
As was pointed out numerous times in the original slashdot article, the patents refer to long file names. If you don't implement them, then no problem, so why insist on saying the patent is on FAT?
I don't see why they don't just get rid of them. Here in Oregon they send you ballot in the mail a couple of weeks before the election. It's the fill in the bubble type, so it's easy to use and both machine and human readable.
You then either drop them off at the county clerk's or mail them in. The ones that arrive by the voting day get counted. No waiting in line, plenty of time to fill them out, etc.
So what do my idiot landlords do just before we move in but install an automatic high pressure sodium street light right outside the house
I'm in the process of buying a place on small acreage. The first thing I'm going to do is to disable (with firearms if needed) the stupid automatic outside light. Why are so many people afraid of the dark?
If it weren't for all the superstition in the world this wouldn't be a problem. When you're dead you're dead, you have no use for any organs. Salvage whats usable and cremate the rest. When will our species ever grow up?

It can be used as a dessert topping and floor polish.
I'm partial to blonds myself.

Huh? Horses have a 350 degree range of vision
Vermont and Texas to name two.

Just saw that on a Family Guy episode (DVD)

Hmmm, an Artificial Insemination Helicopter. Now cattle ranchers can just fly over their herds rather all that mess in the barn.
I think the "Church of Equineology" might have a large testicle division.
All being religious means is that you have one or more imaginary friends, it doesn't mean you have any ethics.
The only 19" racks I've used (mostly for broadcast equipment) used 10-32 screws, I've never seen 1/4 bolts used for racks.

I didn't know Halliburton built space rockets.
I remember looking at New Mexico's online registry when I lived there. Didn't recognize anyone :)
Actually that longitude and lattitude is near the town of Nanle in China. The correct longitude is -115.1727
D) Smoke Signal Broadcasting: Chieftan.
I've had those in those past, long since sent to a landfill. Multiple operating systems running on each for Pascal compiler development.
You then either drop them off at the county clerk's or mail them in. The ones that arrive by the voting day get counted. No waiting in line, plenty of time to fill them out, etc.
Not to mention the name of the dog on the Jetsons, and the name of one my horses.

And now they have to deal with being slashdotted, life isn't fair.
