I'm not a doctor, just a computer geek. I once meet a woman who had had kidney falure. The only liquid she drank was coffee. She survived, so don't worry.
What bothers me most is that my work has a site license for many Microsoft products. They payed millions for this license. When I buy a Dell, we have to pay for Windows again.
Yes, I don't have to buy Dell, but there are good reasons. For one, they are just down the street.
I was talking about "innocent before proven guilty". A newspaper can refer to something as fraud when it is clearly fraud, even if no one has been convicted. The government cannot. That was the difference I was trying to point out. If you read the post I responded to, you'd see why I felt I need to point out that distinction.
You are very right that I shouldn't have confused the issue by mentioning opinions. It only distracted from my point. I also want to state the I think Reuters covered this story correctly.
I just wanted to correct someone who thought that innocent until proven guilty limits Reuters, me, or anyone other than the government.
Innocent until proven guilty counts only for the government. In my opinion what happened at Worldcom is fraud. I can state my opinion all I want without worrying about liability or "innocent before proven guilty" or people calling me childish names.
Those antennas are for VHF. They've already moved some spectrum from TV to cellular. The upper end of UHF was moved. They plan to move more. It doesn't require meter long anntennas. I'm not sure if anyone wants TV's VHF spectrum.
I hope that's all true, but you forgot the real reason that the Bush administration supports this, but not other environmental issues:
A good excuse for corporate welfare for ADM.
ADM has been getting huge tax breaks for this for years, even when it clearly wasn't good for the environment. Why? Even though ADM offcials have pled guilty to price fixing, they still are loved in Washington since they are major donars.
I've recieved spam from HotWired, Microsoft, Apple, and Walgreens. HotWired hit me again years after I complained about the first one. They said it was a technical mistake were they e-mailed everyone who was on the opt-out list. Microsoft said it was a one time thing telling us that Y2K would be ok. I say it was just PR. I don't remember Apple's excuse. Walgreens told me my e-mail address wouldn't be use for spam, then started sending me a monthly "newsletter" full of advertising. They wouldn't let me unsubsribe unless I set up an account online with them. I drive past the store and get my prescriptions farther away now.
Of course none of these companies used fraud or deception to sneak the e-mail in were it wasn't wanted. Doing that should be a criminal act.
Again, I make no claims as to its distance. But we watched it for about 30-45 seconds before it turned away and disappeared. In this time it moved maybe 30 degrees. It was slow.
But this is a claim including distance. If it moved 30 degrees and was slow, it had to be close. Consider that it might have been far and fast.
I'm not claiming either, just pointing out that you can't judge speed without first deciding the distance.
"These days our goals are to make the airplane more capable," Ifju said. "Once you're down to a certain size it's like 'what's the difference between a 5-inch and a 6-inch airplane.' "
I guess that depends on how big the vent to the girl's shower is.
I was very happy when he finally made it around the world. I yelled, "We don't have to hear about this jerk again!" Then Slashdot covers his next planned attempt. He hasn't even done anything yet. Too bad kill files don't work for TV, radio, and Slashdot.
The "taxatio n" problem is cause by an attempt to fix an annoying problem. Some people type really long phrases without spaces. These phrases can't be word wrapped on IE. Some friends of the first posters post words 500 characters long. It can make reading comments almost impossible.
I was able to load the RIAA page quickly. Just to make sure, I hit reload over and over. Each time it came up quickly. I guess I should try a few more times later to day, just to make sure.;-)
That only works if your card supports it. Mine (prism2) doesn't, according to this page. I think that's why 11thangel wrote, "Time to find a WiFi card that can MAC-hop."
I've given more interviews than I've taken. Once I asked a programmer a kind of programming riddle. It was a simple one to learn if he understood that readability was usually more important that optimization. (You know that don't you?)
The guy freaked. He started complaining that it was unfair and things like that. The funny part was I wasn't judging based on what answer he gave, but how he answered the question. He could have done well, by just rambling about the tradeoffs between different answers. Hell, he could have picked any answer and still got the job, but to lose it over a single question. That was unacceptable.
Where I work, things are often unfair. You can't freak out about it, or you're lost. He was the only person we interviewed for the job. We didn't hire anyone.
There are technological solutions to this technological problem.
My problem is when spamsters use technological solutions to get around my solution. The most common example is using open relays. Another is adding garbage text onto the subject or body of the spam. Both of these constitute deception or fraud in my book.
Me, I know right from wrong. Using tricks to avoid spam filters is wrong, region coding is wrong, and the DMCA is morally bankrupt. I'm not opposed to laws, just stupid laws that are designed to protect big business monopolies.
I always use 10101, since it's binary and easy to type. It's for New York, NY, so that's easy to remmeber too.
What I hate is the e-mail checkers. To get past them, I have to risk using someone else real e-mail address.
Back to the topic, even if they promised to fake 100% of the answers, I still wouldn't fill in the truth. I've been spammed by almost every company I've given my e-mail to, even when they promised not to.
Please don't all gang up on me. I was just worried the panels might have about 1% efficiency. You have to admit that at some point it becomes silly to even bother.
That said, I think 8-10% is great (maybe higher as they refine the process). Why don't they admit it up front? Since the rest looks pretty cheap to make,
lets hope they have a cheap way to make little silicon balls, because I'm going to need lost of electricity to run my cheap digital wall paper (another dream I hope to see in my lifetime).
Did any one find out how efficient this material will be? I searched up and down on the site and found some really cool stuff. It's very light and very durable, but no specs.
Normally when someone talks about a new solar panel, they mention the efficiency. I'm worried it might be really low, so they hid it.
I've been wishing for low cost solar panels all my life.
This information was never private. The government has been getting it for free without a court order for years. It's considered to be like the outside of an envelope. It's not private information (I don't agree).
What might change is that now the government can buy it in bulk instead of requesting it on a case-by-case basis. Add that to the fact the FBI can now buy data bases to monitor for potential terrorists and you have a very serious surveillance system.
Well, you do get porn ads when you search for porn, but at least the ads themselves are not pornographic. Some day Google will turn to the dark side in order to increase short term profits, but please not too soon.
My favorate security is, "I'm sorry, you can't do anything on that account, because it's in your wife's name." Of course I can give them every number they need to verify the account and I could ask any female on the street to call and change things, but I can't because I have a male voice.
On you website you write, "I'm using custom written voice control software to control the system. Yes, it works well and No, you can't have a copy (yet). Check back later."
I assume you didn't write your own voice recognition and O/S. I'm curious to hear what you used.

If the US can invade Panama and seize the president, then certainly England can safely invade a data haven just off her's shores. I love the idea of data havens, but how can you protect one. If you join the UN, then you have to follow it's rules. The only way I see is a huge military, but that takes all the fun out of it.

There's pretty close to 12 ounces of water in a 12 ounce can of soda, but with caffeine you'll probably pee out 14 ounces.

I had to take the side of what I'll politely call "those people in Utah", but these films are clearly marked as edited. It's a selling point.
Now I feel all icky. Someone quick disagree with me.
