He died in 1927! Pure water conducts electricity. Period. It's a well known fact. I think I understand that's your confusion. It's not a conductor.
Salt and pure water are not considered conductors, while salt water is. Your dude did a great job of explaining how that works (ions). Now we know that pure water contains ions. I'm not sure when that was discovered, but it must have been later. Anyway these ions allow pure water to conduct electricity, just not anywhere close to the levels that would classify it as a conductor.
Even insulators like glass and quarts conduct electricity. I've never heard of a substance with inifinite resistively, yet you are claiming that pure water is. If you look it up, you'll see that glass is a better insulator than water, so water is more conductive.
Since pi is infinite and irrational, I'm pretty sure that the data on every CD I own appears somewhere in pi. So, can I distribute these too?:)
Cute concept.
Of course you mean that the number of digits in pi is infinite. We both know pi isn't infinite since it's greater than three and less than four. Of course all irrational numbers have an infinite number of digits, so it works better to say, "Since pi is irrational, etc".
While I don't know about pi, an irrational number does not have to contain every combination of digits. For example, take this irrational number:
3.131131113111131111131111113111111311111113...
While irrational, it doesn't match any of your CDs. At least, I hope it doesn't.
Wouldn't that be preprise. I'm not sure, since I've never quite figured out all this "temporal" stuff, but I know Enterprise is before Next Generation.
So, in other words, be careful when you connect to an unfamiliar access point? Shouldn't people already be doing this? This is about the same parallel as "Don't take candy from strangers."
That doesn't make sence here. An evil twin looks just like the normal friendly access point. One you already know and trust. In other words, what we are talking about here is people think they are taking candy from friends. As others have mentions there is software out there to mock pay-for-access WiFi providers.
No problem. I've always had spelling problems. I learned to accept that over a decade ago. At least I can use capital letters. Those all lower case perfect spellers drive me to a rage.
My whole post I kept thinking I was wrong, but was only worried about saying loose. Little in English spelling makes any sense to me. I seem only to be able to memorize things I understand. If I understand it, I never forget (that drives people nuts).
For me spelling is a constant fight. I've learned lots of tricks over the years, so few people notice. Dyslexia sucks, but gives lots of cool advantages.
It wasn't until grad school I met people who could dance with a computer as well as I can. I also met a computer geek who writes far better than I ever dream to.
your new twist on the whole loose/lose issue really made me splutter.
I'm afraid that's probably the best thing I've done all day.
I'm convinced that's Apple's strategy. They did it with the iMac. It's not really "dumping", since many businesses sell at a lose to get started. Obviously the first mini-mac sold will be at a huge lose. As they sell more and more they recover devel costs and the price for the whole sale hardware price falls, so profits grow faster and faster. That's how I saw the iMac and the iPod and I hope they have another success here.
It sort of sounds like selling at a lose and making it up in volume.
The arguement that "The card + the drivers as shipped cannot operate out of spec, so that combination can be type certified" only works when the user is not give the source for the driver! That is why the card manufacturers can ship Windows binary drivers - the user is not trivially able to change things. A driver which has source under/usr/src/linux/drivers/802.11 is a different issue - the user can trivially change the card's output power and operating frequencies.
I've seen trivial changes to binary drivers to increase the power and add non-US frequencies. Hacking binaries has never been hard. Before open source I did it all the time.
It's more confusing then that. 33 and Water play together Friday, Sunday and a few other days, then 33 plays alone and Water plays alone and the next episode is Friday 10pm ET. There's also a preshow tonight at 8:30pm ET, but it's against Enterprise. Still, I wish I could just set up a regular record for this, because I'll probably forget after it records the first three shows. What a mess.
OK, so now what's going to stop police from hiding GPS units on many cars parked on the street in high crime neighborhoods and tracking thousands of potential suspects?
There are many good reasons (as others have given), but I'm pretty sure they'd lose lots of GPS units if they started puting them on cars in high crime areas. I'm pretty sure they can be reprogrammed or rewired for profit.
Which leads me to ask, "If someone hides a GPS on my car and I find it, do I get to keep it?" and "If I take one off another car, who am I stealing from?"
How in the world does one use radar to determine the source of a laser?
I have no idea and I work with both radar and lasers for a living (I know more about radar). There are other things in the story that can't be true, so either the FBI isn't telling the whole story or parts of the story is false. Green lasers would be my last choice.
No short-term trial can prove a drug is truly safe and efficacious. Until much, much, more data is in, I think I'll wait.
While I don't have much hope for these drugs, since know too little about the brain to really understand what we are doing. We're learning more at an accelerating rate. Someday, probably earlier than 10 years from now, there will be such drugs (or cyber systems, whatever) and those that refuse them may find themselves second class citizens. What price are you willing to pay to stay "clean"?
If this had been POE, something would have been fried.
The power isn't provided until after the port is probed. The probing specs look pretty mild. I find it hard to believe anyone was stupid enough to let PoE damage any standard ethernet ports when miss wired.
I'm working on a hybrid vehicle, and finding a way to make good use of the regenerative braking power is a real challenge.
I'd like to take that energy and broadcast it as microwaves. Straight forward and at cell phone frequency of course. Over time, this would lead to less braking and save everyone fuel.
Do you also suffer from asking too many rhetorical questions?
Normally I edit them all out when I write. It's hard to tell what you are trying to say. If you are saying it's ok to lie because one fears telling the truth, I don't agree. There are ethical reasons to lie, but selling soda isn't one of them.
I say we skewer Coca-Cola now. They gave money to the Partnership for a Drug-Free America.
I don't disagree. I just like to think about it differently.
I wouldn't focus on need, but on the win-win aspect. The things government does best are things that benefit society as a whole, but don't benefit the people do it. If you can figure out the total value of an open wireless network and the total cost, the decision becomes obvious. Of course you need to ask why a business isn't doing it. If business doesn't do it because they can't turn enough of the benefit into income, you've got a place where government can help.
The big fights aren't truly between pro and anti government. The big fights are over counting the value (benefit and cost) of a government action.
Much more interesting what I got from the article which says, "The technology uses a highly sophisticated camera that captures three images simultaneously through a single lens." I read that and thought, "You mean RGB?"
It's really sad to see this level of FUD. Sun has always won by out-engineer everybody else. Sure they got a little big and started to milk the market, but they know that's over. At least they were smart enough to keep a good staff of engineers.
They drove me away with poor hardware support and I'm now using RedHat on x86, but they know how to get me back: quality engineering at a fair price.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge free software fan (or is that fanatic), but this FUD is the worse FUD I've seen since Darl shut up.

Too many VNCs. I found an FAQ that lists more than I evern knew existed with a short description of each.

The days are too short. Slashdot isn't real to me. Best A.C. in years.

Don't confuse spelling with intelligence.
We're used to it. There are others, but that's the most important one.

I agree with you almost entirely, but I still think your use of "Micro$oft" make you look like a child.

I say we skewer Coca-Cola now. They gave money to the Partnership for a Drug-Free America.
Sorry. I don't accept the fact that caffeine is in Coke because of it's flavor. If caffeine didn't effect the brain, it wouldn't be in Coke.
They weren't necessarily doing this just to be evil.
Evil? I'm pro-caffeine. I don't think putting it in Coke is evil. I think it's a good idea. I just don't like them lying about the reason.
Caffeine is bitter.
Still, I hate to see companies get away with lying like this. There are plenty of non-psychoactive bitter flavors.
