But, if you want to live near water where you can truly enjoy year around solar power, air and water temperature, low pollution, and be safe. Seams like the best place is around the Equator for the first 3. Spin a globe looking near the equator for land, ruling out relatively unstable places like Kenya, the Congo, Columbia, any unsafe for white people areas in Singapore (ok maybe that is just for me). Also no land locked places, or protected indigenous population like new Guiana, and already over populated areas... All of a sudden a floating Village near the equator sounds like a fairly safe money-wise place to live (if near the equator is a goal.)
I had some of the same thoughts, my reasoning came down to 2 things. 1) Dogs are un-predictable (in a unique situation.) 2) Even a thief has a conscious and doesn't want to hurt a Dog if it does react.
...in most areas have not, and do not, as a trend, go down.
reducing the cost over time does not automatically mean the price you pay goes down. Without doubt the quality of all of those items has gone up. Even at 40 I can still recall when many food items just couldn't be bought for more than a few months of the year, definitely not fresh. Also the rate that those items would have gone up is a unmeasurable quantity. Also the availability is much better, I can now have all those items delivered and stored in better devices than were available, for the same price (inflation adjusted.) This is because more people are making more money off the cheaper cost up front, and providing these services hidden by the initial cost. Of course inflation adjusted these prices don't change, because they are the bases for inflation measurement.
safe to say, you haven't seen what I have. Many of these trucks are designed for 20 MPH top speed, especially the DC drive, operator wants to send one of them over the edge, just head down the hill with the system off kick it in about 30 MPH, and it shoots flames about 20' out from the wheel motors (have to see if I can find one on youtube, it is impressively bad.) Granted the DC drive starts with the brushes, once it carbon arcs them they start the cycle and they will inevitably start melting the insulation on the motor. Some AC drive have a little more margin, but not the 2-3* you claim, not worth the reduced efficiency and greater motor size to have more insulation than needed.
In electric motors, current creates torque; voltage is speed. To up the speed you would have to up the voltage. However it will be limited by the insulation between windings, exceed that voltage and it will arc through the insulation and the motor will melt beyond repair. Happens to electric drive trucks down hills; speed past supply voltage motors become generators, keep going self induced meltdown. Add insulation, efficiency goes down, motor gets bigger... Torque has similar issues, More current for torque needs larger diameter windings or losses and heat increase, heavier motor... Basically if the motor has spare capacity, it is heavier than needed and room for efficiency and cost improvements (doubtful.)
True if it is any Apple device, none of their devices (iphone, Ipad, Laptops) are rated for use below freezing. However most other manufactures of touch devices are rated for a wider temperature range.
used up all the worlds oil-reserve that took millions of years to make in 150 year.
ICE engines can be run on renewable resources, Vegetable oil instead of diesel, Ethanol/Methanol for Spark ignition. This still creates a closed carbon cycle, and can be created with today's technology (corn mesh stills have been pumping out a viable fuel source for ICE engines for a considerable time now.) The same can't be said for any battery tech yet, it all comes from mined resources that are not easily recycled back into a new battery. (recycle for other purposes.)
some of the people playing illegally copied games are doing so instead of buying a legitimate copy
Yes and some people who would never have bought that game will pirate, and then like the game, and then either buy a copy to safely play it online, or buy/receive updates, tell friends about the game who buy it... I know I had no interest in the xbox/games, but liked the challenge of the mod chip/xbmc, and bought one, hacked up games, played them twice, relatives heard I liked them and bought me the later versions, which I played once. Similar with directTV, had no interest in anything more than OTA. But when I could hack it and get all channels, I did. Now I have been purchasing DTV for the last 10 years, with Pay channels to boot, turned out after a taste, that I learned it was worth it to me (oh, and I have more disposable income now as well.) Similar with AutoCAD, my dad had his work purchase every update as long as he could take a copy home, once they stopped that with DRM, he didn't need any updates for work, couldn't pirate a copy for home, no longer requested.
What the GP says still makes sense. This type of trading has been around forever, by making the trading faster, it means the arbitrage traders have to get faster and faster systems as well, for the same benefit. It didn't eliminate the game, but it made the game more difficult. I think your point is the fewer and fewer who have the resources can still take advantage; doesn't necessarily mean it got worse. I don't have any idea how one could figure out if the overall cost to the market as a whole went up or down, but the fact that it still exists isn't proof if it is better or not.
I'd ask why you're keeping email encrypted that you can no longer decrypt
My assumption is the encrypted emails were not stored by the defendant, but were rather stored in a log controlled by the ISP or government who are then asking for the un-encrypted contents. Without providing some data, and no way to "prove innocence" which is more the standard with this law, it could be some time (in jail) before posting a defense in front of a judge.
Sorry, I change keys every two weeks and don't record the expired ones, and since it's 256 bit encryption, there's no bloody way I'm going to remember that sucker a year later.
If your in the UK, have fun in the slammer, Part III of the Act, which requires persons to supply decrypted information Deni ability, and lack of intent may get you off in other countries, but not likely in this case. You had best start encrypting files with something like truecrypt where you can have 2 passwords on the same file giving up different data. Perhaps if you give them some unencrypted data they won't know to expect another password.
I would agree with that, except they were all scaled down. Pretty much all of those issues existed before Bush, and have all been returned to pre-Bush levels. (IE GP is still correct on all of them)
currently the majority of people want to stop a lot of the things that are currently happening.
yes but the reason is generally because they have only heard put of the truth. I think it you break down most of the unpopular changes to what they really, are a majority of people support the changes. Basically the republican admin did a much better PR job of convincing us that bills like "the patriot bill" were good, the democrats haven't sold their changes into the media. That is mostly Obama's fault. Also I do expect the Republican's to propose at least one meaningful piece of legislation; because it is always possible to find a fault, everything useful has some down side or a possible negative side affect. Until republicans propose something with fewer down sides, they have done nothing but create noise. By saying over and over "just start over", 6 months into the process, without ever doing anything wasn't going to help. I think very few people who have honestly looked at things like the Health-care bill believe it is going to drive costs up faster than they were going to go up without the bill... Sure it will drive costs up, you can't honestly deny that claim, but it will still cost less than the republicans plan of doing nothing but talking about it.
I imagine they are different reasons. Your insulation was taken to build a nest, the newer car is for nourishment. So you just need to find the nest, and you can have all your insulation back. New car, well it's wiring is crap.
To protect against radiating magnetic fields, you'd either have to bury
I wouldn't recommend either of those methods; instead switch to DC, you would have the same fields but they wouldn't be changing (except when load changes) so theft of power from EMF would become too difficult, or too small and unpredictable to be worth it.
The universe is inherently hostile to our life. Why is that, if it was created for us?
Well, just because it was created for us; doesn't rule out, that our primary purpose was for the supreme beings entertainment. (or the amusement of there children who probably lost interest in us long ago)
Helium is not the only lighter than air substance, large balloons are mostly hot air today. Also we know Hydrogen, methane, and ammonia will also work, each with at least one downside. Personally I think birthday parties would be way more fun with Hydrogen balloons anyway (then again, maybe that's why I never had any kids.)
here's no such thing as nuclear waste, only nuclear fuel you haven't configured your reactor to burn yet.
you could say that about all waste, all waste could be used for something useful, it just costs less to bury it, than to turn it into something useful, that's why it is waste. Since their are a very few reactors (and those are very small) that can re-use current nuclear waste, and they cost 10* more in all respects than conventional plants, nuclear waste is almost certainly going to remain nuclear waste until we nearly exhaust our current sources of energy, and that drives energy prices at least 10* higher than they are now.
yes, but if his definition of space is "will never return to earth by gravity", then he must exceed earths escape velocity at some point have to reach that. As such earths escape velocity would be 0 once in "space".
dialog to ask the user for technical permissions system is fatally flawed
understanding doesn't help me, not sure why it would help others. I think the flaw is it asks too late, and you can't block any of them to still use the App. IE I wanted a app to track car maintenance and MPG, I find the one that looks best, best reviewed... Now it comes up and says it wants phone, and internet access... Not needed for what I wanted, but what do I do now? Look for another, buy, install, and wait to see if it is worse? Would be nice if google also disclosed that in the app market before choosing, then maybe developers would explain what they used the connections for...
Getting close to where the Car manufactures want us. Make it mandatory for every new car to have a OnStar subscription, since cell phones would now be broken. Although maybe you could have a bluetooth sync outside the car, so you place your phone into a cradle on the outside of the car and your only allowed to use it in approved situations (DRM'd headphones with maximum length, out of drivers reach...) attached to current service. Speaker phone only while stopped... --- No I am not being serious.
To be fair, were not at a hostile level with Germany, so we may not have the same level of concern, for a foreign based software ownership (Siemiens)
It is fair to say the PLC's don't have to be always accessible from windows computers, Can be disconnected after verified... That connection is likely for SCADA (data logging/monitoring protocol to the S7), which is available for other operating systems.
So it does seam for critical infrastructure they should have done a better job of hiding the foreign (and closed) software behind non foreign software (or completely disconnected from it.)
Sounds like the rest of us would be much safer if you didn't wear a seatbelt, being in-secure you would probably drive safer and be less likely to have a accident. Maybe like my Bicycle (mountain bike) riding. I probably where a helmet 10 % of the time I ride. I have probably had 6 bicycle incidents where a helmet would help. 100% of the time I was wearing a helmet. I likely take chances when I got one on, that I don't without... That may be part of the analogy for this article.
Just to be a devils advocate, I understand locking down the important parts of a network with multiple levels. So you definitely want your computer storing financial/critical types of data, to have as many layers as possible. But at some point is it fair to have a practical honeypot on the network, that can show issues earlier? as example; I did a fresh Windows install at work (was 10 years ago), before it got all the updates, it was infected by another machine on the network. So then I started logging local data, and then called IT to shutdown the machine that got mine. Because all the PC firewalls were set to block, and nothing else, a infected machine was happily being a bot inside our network with no concern for who knows how long. This is what I think this article is saying, because time and money is limited, if you are not monitoring the logs on any of the external firewalls and instead relying solely on having many layers and many updates, your probably going to let some problems just grow internally until a breaking point occurs. So dedicate more resources to looking at the doors, rather than wasting CPU power at every desktop. I think the House analogy would be having your best valuables inside a locked house, in a locked room, locked in a safe. But maybe leaving the wife's fake Perls, diamonds, and a few $$ sitting out, will be a good indicator that someone with the keys can't be trusted.
You are assuming it is a one on one mugger vs gun owner. The second option is helping defend a victim, I guarantee if someone is being mugged and I walk up with a gun drawn it is end of confrontation 99+% of the time. If I walk up unarmed; it will just as likely get worse as better. Of course the gun is not the weapon must fear it to be (as you point out.) It's not like if I pull the trigger on a.38 your dead every time, but that is the way most non gun users think. Heck if I get a shot into you, most likely you still have a good chance (if bigger...) to still get me, but most wont. Similar to a mugger, if he doesn't think he can take the gun, he isn't going to take on that victim (unless willing to use deadly force first.) That victim could still take the mugger out for some distance, even if weaker and slower. Not worth the risk to most.
Most didn't get that way from $400k household salary, they got that way from stock options which would likely be capital gains, not income. Although having no idea how Washington calculates income, I can only guess that it is the same as AZ, where it is based off the federal return, and the state (like the fed) has a lower capital gains rate completely un-effected by your income level (although it has been ~5 years since I made enough capital gains to care.)
