It's a couple of things... one they don't want the notoriety, two they don't have store in fucking to sell the signs in, and three they aren't that interested in the whole enterprise. My suggestion of Fucking Sign vending machine was greeted with odd looks.
There was a kid from a neighboring town who wanted to sell T-Shirts but I don't think that ever got approved either.
I don't live all that far from Fucking. It's a tiny, tiny village and they can not afford to replace the signs that get stolen... mostly by tourists from the UK.
So when you go to fucking, please just the pictures of the Fucking Signs and do not steal the fucking signs.
One thing I'd wonder about is just how long you can run a stirling engine. Things with moving parts always break down eventually... even those old Lister diesels.
If that is not Bruce, it is the most persistent, on message, fake in history. Far better than the fake Steve Jobs.
To answer your other questions I have read datasheets for cells which claim a 1% initial yearly loss with an over 30 year life span for modern PC devices. I have also seen anecdotal evidence of installations which still function after 15-20 years.
I am not sure which method of exploiting solar energy is going to turn out to most efficient. Certainly there are a lot of different ones out there. I also think that if you were honest with yourself spending a few years making your life (and electrical appliances) as energy efficient as possible before getting into the solar thing you would realize far more savings. Still the idea of having a 3kW Solar powered sterling motor in the back yard is sort of appealing.
What keeps me with Skype is that I can have US telephone number. So no matter where I am my friends and family can call me.
If there was another service which allowed me to have a US telephone number for incoming calls and let me call any other POTS number I'd use it.
Hah! These days I'm mostly an embedded developer and the part of my job I enjoy most is doing the hardware shakedown code... nothing like making the lights blink and motors whir. Maybe it's just me but I find the massive IDE used for today's development really off-putting and prefer to just use vi and a cross compiler... or at least I find it far more clear just what in the hell I am doing in that sort of environment, rather than today's full on IDEs.
Back when I first learned PERL people were still using it as a Practical Extraction And Report language. A replacement for Sed & Awk. I was taking snippets of Perl from the web, futzing with them, and searching instrument logfiles and pushing the output to comma separated text files and then to excel. I don't remember if they were one line scripts but I do remember frequently using snippets that I wasn't really sure why or how they did what they did but only that I wanted the output they provided. Wow! I remember the first time I really had that going... it was like effing magic.
Oh he sure does... it part the whole anti-science shtick that so popular in the US these days. One of my little sisterâ(TM)s friends told her in serious horror that âoethe scientistsâ were going to destroy the earth with this device.
Am I missing something important? Why not contact every Judge who has a lawsuit from the RIAA on their docket and just tell them? Why not just mail the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Growth and tell them too?
Surely you lawyers have a fancy sounding name for such a document... and we don't just have to "hope the Judges find out"
I'm not so sure I want the sort of pixel density found in minicams in a full frame DSLR. I own a 5D and 40D and comparing the noise on those to a digicam is very, very unfavorable. I'd rather they spend their time making other features of the camera better⦠rather than just making cameras with more megapixels.
This absolutely mirrors my own experience. I live in the EU and I travel mostly around the EU and Africa. When I get to the US I'm treated as a convicted criminal and I'm a US citizen. I am routinely hassled and threatened by petty dictators of nano-dictorships. Which I find completely bizarre... Hell the security & customs agents in Zimbabwe are more polite than the ones in Atlanta.
Another thing I find complete asinine is that little form you fill out saying where you are going stay while you are in the US. I've been staying at 1600 Pennsylvania ave. for going on 6 years and no one has so much a blinked.
I don't think it is correct to call ID a philosophical construct or to teach it in a philosophy class. I think it would be more correct to call it a political machination and teach it in a class on modern US politics.
I've been doing it for a while now, too. I use post-it notes and highlighters. You'd be amazed how many sizes and colors people are selling post-it note in.
Meh... I always thought he got much more publicity and drew much more ire that he ever deserved. I must have missed the comments that riled everyone up.
Hey Man, When the president does it, it is not illegal.

It's an interesting observation of human behavior that back the Bush Administration was first starting to do these big government / cronyism / erosion of civil rights / foreign occupation things⦠which are truly not in our best interest, these small government conservatives were virtually silent. Now that the administration is unpopular and it's looking like there will be a historic republican failure in the 2008 elections theyâ(TM)ve come out of the woodworks with their complaints.

Really.
I don't think the intertubes are big enough to post phone calls of all the asshats in the world. I mean it's not like a truck or anything.
Wow! That's a hell of a stereo!

That has been the Slashdot editorial stance for 10 years. No doubt it is still in the FAQ... you can check it out.

And that he hasn't is crushingly depressing.

I'm pretty sure that future is here now.
There's already been a patent on a tactile touchscreen... I probably read here too.

It is not a Mach Microkernel.
I think you left out the most obvious. Post his private mail address here and the Slashdot mob will tell him.

I was paraphrasing Richard Nixon, Who we all know was not a crook.
And it is far, far closer to the truth than it has any right to be.
You should read Torture Team by Philippe Sands.
Anyway that is a separate and additional criminal prosecution.
