I have three computers. Home desktop, Work Desktop, and, a laptop. I use this newly released piece of software to keep them all in sync. I added a server to the mix as a backup, and now all my data is on four computers. The peace of mind given by having my data automatically mirrored in four locations and the resulting lowered chances of loosing all my data enables me to sleep better at night.
Plan for the future.You can never have too much cabling in the walls. Every cable run double what you think you need and then add 1 For example a location that will get one computer, run 3 cat6 cables. A location that gets 2 computers run 5 cat6 cables.
I have traveled all over southern Nevada and California. Verizon is the only choice. I make it a habit to go to some strange and out of the way places, Verizon just works, even in large parts of death valley and the Mojave desert. I even had service out in Rachel Nevada near area 51, while my friends who were with me and have T-mobile had none. Buy a cheap device from E-bay and activate it on Verizon on the bring your own device plan. Just make sure the device is a Verizon branded device. Choose a high feedback seller with a good history with mobile devices. Also Verizon does not use SIM cards.
I am simply pointing out there there is some "connection" that bypasses the universal speed limit. Once we understand and exploit this who knows what doors will open.
Religious? There was nothing religious in my post. I am glad that people like you are in the minority or we would still be using stone knives. People like you are a waste of the Earth's resources. For you tomorrow will be like today, and the day after tomorrow will be like the day before yesterday. Your remaining days will be a tedious collection of hours full of useless actions. People like you think no new thoughts, and you forget what little you have known. Older you become, but not wiser. Stiffer, but not more dignified. Hopeless you are, and hopeless you will remain. Of that wisdom you once sought in your youth, of that quest for knowledge you once had, it neither endures, nor shall you recapture it.
There are new discoveries everyday. The day will come when we can cross stellar distances as easy as we now cross an ocean, Of that I have no doubt. Maybe not in my lifetime or my children's or even great grand children. But someday it will happen. How do I know this? All you have to do is look from where we have come. Each society in history has thought they knew all there is to know about the universe. We are not different I laugh in the face of any one who is pompous and arrogant enough to say It is impossible. What kind of hubris does it take to say "No, it’s impossible, the distances are too great”. Bullshit! We are only beginning to understand the physics of the universe, and we already know that there is at least one thing that is faster than light. Quantum entanglement is instantaneous no matter the distance. Although we have not yet figured a way to exploit this for FTL communications or travel, there is a some mechanism in the universe that underlies the observed results. There are many scientists working with Quantum entanglement, even as I write this. I even believe we will see FTL communications in my lifetime, and I am 48. But aside form communications, there are many other theories at the edge of our understanding that may open up space to easy travel someday. Warp Drive? No, we can't make it work yet, but what about in a hundred or a thousand years? Howe about Worm Holes? No, once again, not yet. But someday. And what other secrets are out there waiting to be discovered? We must keep trying. We must keep pushing, just as the great inventors before us did.
What is your opinion on the existence of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, and what if any, in your opinion, are the odds that we will ever make meaningful contact?
I live in a RV and have commercial Wi-Fi client mounted in my RV with a Yagi antenna on the roof where my TV antenna used to be. My best connection distance to date is 2.3 miles from a ridge top campground in a state park to a KOA campground in the valley below. In my travels around the country I have only been parked in a few places where I can not find at least one open access point to connect to. In fact in my experience the smaller the city the better the likelihood of an in range open access point. Open access points are my connection to the outside world now.
Two separate computers in the same house with a photo directory on each set up with automatic two way sync between those computers every night. Plus a remote computer about 10 miles away with one way backup every night.
Drop a pic or directory of pics into the synced directory on either of the home computers and boom next day photos are stored in 3 separate locations. Fast simple and hands off.
I have never understood this. Every few months we hear about a new round of companies in trouble for price fixing for one product or another. Yet OPEC gets together and does it right out in the open, heck their meetings are on the network news, and we just bend over and take it up the pooper.
I just don't get it.
Last year we took a three week road trip with two teenagers in tow. I have a Verizon aircard and configured my tablet to act as a hot spot. Diving for those thousands of miles was made easier by having the teenagers distracted by being able to be online at anytime from the back seat with their laptops. Surprisingly I had usable signal for about 90% of the trip, except for in Yellowstone, Death Valley, and out near Promontory Utah.
More hearsay but just for schits and giggles I will relate this true story: I was in the Air Force 1983-1987 and was stationed at Carswell AFB, witch was what the old Army Air-core bas was renamed to when it became a SAC base in the 50's I was a 603x0 "Motor vehicle operator". There was a Civilian driver that had been employed at Carswell as a contract driver since the the mid 40's he was about 70 years old and had more than 45 years total service and more than 20 years in grade. He had maxed out his pay grade years before. I don't remember his full name but we always referred to him as Mr. Jim, I also don't remember how the subject came up but early one morning we got to talking about the Roswell incident, (I was on the midnight shift at that time 11:00-7:00, and he came in at 4:30 for the morning sorties,) he told me that he remembered the Roswell event very well. His only clue that anything was amiss at first was that That they had without warning locked down the whole base for the better part of a day and that there were several unscheduled take offs and landings. Later scuttlebutt on the base was that Carswell had been used as a transfer site for a spaceship from mars that had crashed the week before somewhere farther out west. Soon afterwards a memo came to each squadron from HQ that the lock down was because of a VIP transfer and the memo also included a general order that was issued to not discuss the lock down any farther because of national security issues. He was also adamant that instead of a standard cargo plane they had used a B-36 bomber as the transport. I don't Know if he was pulling my leg or what. He was given to talk a lot but this is the only story I ever remember him telling that had a sci-fi slant. Take it for what it's worth, I am only relating story how he told it to me. As for his level of veracity, I have no clue.
Ah... No, my provider operates at a profit supplying people as far as 18 miles from the main switch for 9 years now. I've seen how they do it and can say that any provider could do so IF they wanted to. The reasons is that for most providers the profit margins are not good enough to make them want to. My provider is a Coop and operates at a narrower margin.
Somebody please mod this nut down, he is just another Pseudointellectual luddite who has no comprehension of the good that has come out of the space program. People who scream about how much money we are wasting on the space program are invariably the same ones who scream we should spend more money on welfare programs. When in fact the amount of money budgeted for welfare programs for 2007 is more than 10 times that budgeted for NASA. (source http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/fy2007/ )
Why when any two or more companies in the world get together and settle on a price for their product do we come down on them like a ton of bricks for price-fixing, yet when OPEC gets together and "FIXES" a price for oil we just bend over and take it up the tailpipe? Anyone besides me ever think about how hypocritical that is? Price fixing is bad, but why do we allow it for oil?
OH yeah! This, is a good idea! You ever dress up for cold weather? The warmest way to dress is in multiple layers.
First I have on a layer nice dress clothes, then I put on a layer of coveralls over them. I then proceed to crawl and work in all sorts of non air-conditioned spaces. Dropped ceilings, attics, and crawl spaces. Do you have any Idea how SOAKING wet with sweat every stitch of clothing I am wearing would be by lunch time? Do you have any idea what I would smell like by quitting time? This has not been, is not, nor will ever be an option with me.
This knucklehead just admitted to the fact the he is intends to perform an act that is not only illegal (a federal felony see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_spiking) but also intentionally endangers innocent people lives. You and others like you are the ones who give environmentalism a bad name. You are a terrorist, an eco-terrorist nut, who is no more deserving of human rights than osama bin laden himself . I can only hope that some federal official reads this and throws you under some secret jail for the rest of your miserable life before you have a chance to harm an innocent man who is only trying to make a living for himself and his family.
Before the flying car can ever be practical another means to lift and support of it's mass other than aerodynamics MUST be developed. As it stands today whether you use jet engines, piston engines, or rotary engines and turbines, helicopter blades, or enclosed fans like the Moller. You are still lifting mass by moving large quantities of air around. This takes too much mechanical engineering as well as too much energy consumption by burning some type of chemical fuel. There is just too much that has to be just right to fly in this way, just one thing goes wrong and BOOM you just made a nice crater in the ground. To make the flying car really practical there will have to be another way to get mass off the ground. There has been some research in this area for may years, but usually it is considered fringe science, many people and companies distance themselves from it the moment you use the term Anti-Gravity, so call it whatever you want, Mass Reduction, Electro-kinetic lift or even Magnetic field lift. (In Star Wars they called it Repulser- Lift). The Point is there has to be another way to get in the air, if it exists It's just waiting for someone to discover it. Only then will we see real flying cars.
Is anything good enough for the paranoid?
NO you will never satisfy some people.
Did a job today where a sysadmin has 2 hardware Firewalls back to back both doing NAT and the system does not even store any financial data.

I wish I could take every mod point I ever had and put on this one post.
Does that mean we have to be on that other world to view it?
