....Off topic, but in response to parents "lost" servers.
Since you know they are online you must have the IP. If you have any decent manageable switch gear you should be able to trace down what switch port it is connected to. At that point follow the cable.
The commands; show mac show arp pipe into an include filter for the IP and MAC, those commands are your best friends;)
....and of which none of the competitors do as good of a job as VMware. I guess you get what you pay for.
Now to play the next counter argument, one of the org's I support is small, with an appropriately sized IT budget (small) They are very well served by Hyper-V, and the low cost is a major factor.
So use the right tool for the job. Free with slightly less features VS. pay for more or better features.
Around here one of our hospital systems is non-profit. So along with that gov regulation, they can NOT make profit. Now employees get paid, and i'm sure many of the suppliers are for profit, but the hospital it'self isn't making money for shareholders.
Of course with the cost of medical equipment, and the salaries medical pro's make, i'm not aware that it's actually any cheaper.
Just figured I'd share that they are not all for profit.
OK for all you kids out there, you can "tunnel" other traffic over an SSH connection. Used it all the time back in the day, only had an SSH port open and port 80. (80 for the stuff I wanted people to find)
I guess it's called a TextUI, but it's all I ever needed for DOS. Really never saw the point of a GUI until I started multitasking. But since I'm guessing FreeDOS is not a multitasking OS, I don't see the point in anything more than NC.
PS when working with a Linux box from a windows workstation, WinSCP in NC mode ROCKS.
I'm guessing your point is that you can't make spare parts for EVERYTHING, due to scale, and costs of doing that.
This is a different situation, they are making the parts, but just refuse to sell them to certain people. How the law should be written to distinguish between those two is beyond me, but I'm fairly sure we have a small army of law makers that can figure out how to word it.
Sure can stop SMS. I know those that have no SMS plan, plus SMS is blocked so won't get per use charges when someone TXTs inbound. (Another AT&T augh, they charge for incoming TXt). Of course have to have a data plan:/
If the same batteries are in SpaceX, wouldn't they already have some approvals?
Maybe they would need additional for this application, but I suspect that would be the case with ANY new battery. But a unit already in use for some flight applications sounds like it should be easier to approve for another flight application, than a battery not currently used for flight.
Not that it matters, sounds like it wasn't the batteries anyway.
...the fact that her father was a stellar cartographer, and in 2340, he conducted a full spectrum mineralogical analysis of the Vlugta asteroids. He never had the means to follow up on what he found. Alsia's plan was to carry out her father's dream.
Wow has/. gone down hill, this article is a day old and I don't see one comment about ST:DS9 Rivals episode.
Link, to a website I googled to get the summary, couldn't find this mining reference on the Wikipedia page for the episode, was really a sub-plot, I can't vouch for this site, but seems to have the full details of the show. http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Rivals_(episode)
While the concept of swapping CPUs to increase hp is good sounding, in practice it fails. Things like bus and memory speed. Along with the fact that they like to change CPU sockets like its going out of style, make swapping CPUs very uncommon. I've been the game for a few years now and have bothered to do a CPU swap exactly once. And that case was a single core CPU that later had dual core released in the same socket, so a near x2 increase, along with removing the single core chock point of the system.
Real world, I swap the mainboard/CPU/ram for a system upgrade to be worth doing. Maybe I'm different than other geeks?
Best thing I ever did was for desk against a wall. I used large hooks, think like bike hooks or shelf brackets with a turn up at the end. Placed several along the back of a desk, ran cables in there so I wasn't kicking them. Allows an EZ crawl under the desk looking up to see all the cables. Hard to describe but worked really well.
Between each J hook, i placed a power strip that has the large spacing for wall warts. So it alternated J hook, power. All the power strips went to another power strip on the end of the desk. So only one cable to connect to the wall. (most items were small draw so no issue overloading the 15 amp circuit.
I think what Sasayki is getting at, is what i'm thinking. Shouldn't the maximum penalty be for those that are committing commercial, for profit pirating?
If somebody photocopies a book, and gives it to a family member, that very well may break copyright, and be worthy of a fine. (though to copy a whole book may cost more than purchasing a 2nd copy...but stay with me here)
But shouldn't the 2nd guy, who prints a real book (covers and binding and all) selling them retail. Get a more severe punishment? But if we hand out the maximum penalty the the non-commercial, non-profiting, person.....we no longer have a more sever punishment for the 2nd guy.
Do any lawyer types know the intent of these laws? Weren't they written with the intent of being used on commercial copyright infringement?
Just a guess, but there is likely a fuel line...but the input is currently under water. Other comments have said that the fuel tanks must be at/below ground per city regulations.
If you say put the redundant input higher, how high? the 17th floor?
Slightly above water level is the correct location, but that might not be easy to figure out until flooding occurs.
You're right, you'll need good batteries, and even basic lead acid the cost adds up when you need a dozen of them.
The motor's aren't super cheap either, they are fairly large motors.
The one part that is easy to over look for cost is the controller, I think they are almost as much as the motor. Start adding up all these 4 figure parts. and it's easy to hit that 5 figure mark.
You're right something like this is more for the fun of it. Though $14k is fairly normal price for a DIY conversion. At least that's what I gather from reading about it, never tried a conversion myself.
i think jtownatpunk was getting at the 'news' part of 'news for nerds'
If this is no different than the electric cars people have been building for years, it's not hardly news. What technical item is present in this conversion that makes it significant?
That said I agree it's cool, and I also wish the $$$ where more in favor of doing something like this. It's just not news that you can spend $10k-20k and have an EV conversion with a 30 mile range. Something like this should be on HAD, where "sure it's been done before, but this guy did it slightly differently."
A friend lived near the airport. His house was upgraded from double pane with storms to some better double/triple pane without storms. The new windows where supposed to be better at blocking the sound of the planes.
Summary of the story, the new "better" windows didn't work as good as the old windows with storm windows at blocking noise.
So if' you've already upgraded the windows, add storms to the outside. It's an easy thing to install, and they typically are under $100 a window. Install can be as easy as hold it up, and put a few screws in.
Added bonus, it can help reduce heating/cooling costs. (not enough savings to pay for them, but it won't hurt!)
If windows aren't the problem add more/better insulation, there aren't any limits if you don't need to see through it.
Advantage incandescent: the cheapest store brand bulb will have acceptable color output, and lumens.
Purchasing anything LED or CFL that isn't a high dollar name brand is a risk that you'll be stuck with crappy color output, or a very dim light. The Wattage equivalent rating is a joke on some of those bulbs.
And while some will say the lifetime of those traditional cheap bulbs will be less, I've never noticed. I have however noticed the CFL bulbs that don't have anywhere near the rated lifetime.
You'd be surprised that some city buses do have live links. (well limits of cellular data of course) GPS reporting of location to home base and other data.
I don't see why transactions couldn't be live, and in the case of a data link down (big tree/building) just cache the transaction and upload results when link is back up. It would be smart that there be enough storage to cache the entire day, so if the antenna gets broken off the bus can still run.
The flaw would be that when there is no data there is no way to validate the account has money, but that would be the rare exception. I guess someone could plot out what pickup points had poor/no cell service, or use a cell jammer, but that's taking this to a whole new level.

Go down to basic HTML. Build a functioning website.
Figure out what gives you the biggest visual impact in the smallest time. Short sweet simple HTML code.
A page, make copies of it and modify to be separate pages, with basic menu.
Then put it on a web server and surf that new corner of the web.
Can be as short/long as needed.
Oh...and color, lots of color on the page.
....Off topic, but in response to parents "lost" servers.

Stuff like a 144VDC controller, easily $1500 http://www.evparts.com/products/street-vehicle/controllers--dot/72-to-348-volt-street-vehicle-controllers/ct2232.htm
Motor: $1200-$2000 http://www.evparts.com/products/street-vehicle/motors--dot/96-to-192-volt-street-vehicle-motors/
And that's just getting started, look at the price of cable large enough for that voltage/current, and the price is easily over $1/foot
Sure, someone will come along with cheaper options, but just saying not hard to hit the price this guy hit.
