The military needs to acquire resources as close to the battlefield as possible.
thats interesting, so instead of a fixed target for this super energy beam, it may be movable. Is this to power the future weapons, or is this the weapon it's self? Weaponizing space is a violation of our international treaties, but dual purpose satellites are the norm. So they build a space based power station, that oops it is the ultimate stealth ground based attack device, how did the pentagon miss that?
Corn for ethanol is actually using up one of the largest underground water aquifers in the world which resides under the Midwest.
what, their are alott of reasons to hate ethanol, but that one makes no sense? At least in Iowa (Dad is a corn grower their) No irrigation is used for corn/crop growing, and processing plants are located in places either likes Ames, which was a swamp that was drained years ago, and has a water table about 3' below ground, Or near a river.
With the natural landscape having been trees, and prairie land, I couldn't see more than the tiny % of water carried off during harvest affecting ground water levels?
IBM, etc have far more cash and they are not going after them because they would get pummeled into the ground.
IBM/MS would also be more likely to be able to show prior art, and maybe even cross licensing agreements with Xerox from within their organization. I would think IBM would also have better luck pulling in the developers that actually developed the UI, for them to testify on the obviousness at the time.
The thinking may be that Redhat, having been founded 2 years after the patent was granted, would seam to be less likely to put a end to their patent. I suspect it is a miscalculation though, since RH is likely to be more aggressive, and have IBM, and a community behind them.
correct, sorry I wasn't clear I was comparing locked tire to ABS, except wet surfaces where ABS wins, locked tire/static friction on dry is close enough to not differ significantly from ABS, both would lose to expert driver maintaining near lockup without ABS. Locked up tire on gravel/slush/uneven surfaces (pot holes, RR crossings, etc) is where ABS (currently) loses, some times by alott.
the 383cid engine is mechanical or electromechanical in every part.
a old diesiel and would be even better. You still need spark, and the ability to build energy in a coil to deliver it. If something shorted out your battery (for example) you would be shutdown. So a strong EMP could still disable that car, while moving (in theory).
too bad, no mod points today, would have moded your post funney, definitely entertaining.
Locking your brakes won't help stop you...BEST way to stop in snowy conditions is to let your car coast to a stop
Actually pretty much every study I have ever seen shows locked tire stops as the shortest on almost all surfaces, and almost all tires (not usually by much.) The only exceptions would be where the loss of control causes you to enter a lower traction surface. ABS was never meant to decrease stopping distance, it helps maintain control, so a driver can steer, and recover. It also keeps you from flat spotting your tires so their not ruined by a lockup.
Having done a number of autocross races, etc. I know that most ABS systems really hurt my performance when I am in this performance driving mode. However I also know that mode is not a instinct, so when I am relaxed and driving normally, when cutoff/etc I, like most people, just slam the brakes to the floor, and hold on. So ABS is great for that.
chroot is for sandboxing build processes, far as I know.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandbox # Sandbox (computer security), a virtual container in which untrusted programs can be safely run # Sandbox (software development), an online environment in which code or content changes can be tested without affecting the original system(s)
So, here it is: chroot is not, never was a security tool
By any definition, isn't something used as a "Sandbox" a security tool to protect the system?
I know you probably intend to say it is not intended to contain malicious intent, but honest mistake/negligent programs. That would be like saying most locks are not for security, since they only discourage the honest.
Most "smart" phones (and most phones in general) don't have support for syncing
IE they may sell you a cable at the VZ store, especially if you don't use outlook, your patching together something not really supported by the carriers. http://bitpim.sourceforge.net/ is the only useable solution to the LG phones that I have found, and it works equally on windows and linux. I assume this is not needed for the treo, or Windows mobile phones. But it seams no carriers want to support getting your pictures, etc off your phone except through a subscription to their data plan of some sort. same seams true of email, good luck with a non wi-fi phones loading email onto a phone not using the network plan.
These are just going to be more linux phones that sync with windows desktop easily
valid. Really what I think is wanted is just a open platform. Most likely the linux phones will be locked like the Iphone to start with. I am a bit of a MicroSoft hater, but I do want a wm5 phone because I love the Garmin mobile 10 GPS unit. A all integrated phone this size of a deck of cards is great. but 5 years ago I was up in Vancover, back of a cab, gps wouldn't work, combination of heavy overcast sky, tall building back of a cab wouldn't allow any coverage. Jump to last January in AZ, I am in the middle seat of a SUV going through the moutains, no Cell signal, no radio stations trapped in a Faraday cage, I grab my mobile 10 bluetooth GPS antenna, bluetooth PDA. I just throw the battery powered GPS to bluetooth antenna to the front window, perfect coverage. I can hold the PDA in my hand where no GPS reception, with the antenna in the front window, no wires. The exact same device, software works on a WM phone with bluetooth. Thats (My) hope for a linux phone, is that software/hardware can be moved from one to the other. e.g. who cares if LG develops a synch to your linux PC, as long as a program is available.
Especially across the range that an electric motor is capable of exerting that torque.
now that, I can't do. HP, is torque * speed. so if they turn at the same rpm, at the same HP, the make the same torque. but add a CVT gearbox, no problem.
I work for a company that makes the largest hybrid vehicles around, so I am a big fan of controllable torque of electric, and simplicity of a fixed gear reduction.
But false claims of 1/3 HP needed, or infinite starting torque of electric do no one any good.
The peak hp of an electric motor is usually 8 to 10 times its continuous rating.
So I can buy that, if their not rated equivalently and you want a single accell (which is likely for a car) And your not so worried about efficiency (run electric out of it's rated torque you lose efficiency big time)
then their is something, you can under rate the electric motor, as long as you rate your supply (battery?) equivalent to the gas motor.
Sorry, can't find the 1/3 reference at the moment.
because their isn't going to be one. obviously gas, makes more torque, electric makes more controllable torque. (for similar HP rating, with correct gear reduction for each)
only way you would want 1/3 the HP for a electric, is if your putting 4 motors on, instead of a single gas motor.
I've read that an electric motor with 1/3 the HP can give you equivalent performance to a gasoline engine. IE 30 HP electric = 90 HP gasoline.
Not likely. perhaps with some other qualification needed:
a) if they say power, what they mean is with heavy braking in the gas, regen the electric so reuse the power 3x.
b) weight, a short distance electric setup could be 1/3 the weight, but probably 1/10th the range.
c) 1/3 is actually 66%, your able to run a diesiel hybrid engine at optimum efficiency, which may be 1/3 better than the non optimum efficiency you have to run a standard gearbox at while lugging up to the optimum engine speed.
d) rear wheel power != flywheel power (but not 1/3 thats for sure.)
Ke= M* (V^2) so it takes 4* as much energy to go from 0-120, as to go from 0-60. Assuming constant power wouldn't 1 sec 0 to 60, would be 4 sec 0 to 120.
Traction limit would go up (same torque*2 speed, ie twice the power allowed through the tire, but 4* needed to maintain accell rate), which was probably his limit to 60.
most electors are nominated by the state political party, sometimes at party conventions.
participated in this in Iowa once (their all different.) Their, the "straw poll" voters are brought together in a group that supports the candidate, and those who voted then appoint a representative to be a elector, the number appointed was a flat % of voters for that canidate. then some funny stuff happened their after. IE one candidate is a few votes shy of having another elector, so another candidate loans voters over, then swap electors, so now each has a elector loyal to another candidate, so they know they will get extra support if that candidate drops out (I didn't understand that completely either.) I just did the local straw pull, IE the "second level" these electoral candidates then went to a regional, where they were further weeded down to the most loyal (I assume)...
the electors don't even have to vote for the candidate with the most ballot votes
their supposed to vote for their candidate, I think that not happening has only ever been max by one elector changing, granted in 2 or 3 elections in the last 12 presidential elections. I think those were thanks to things like I said about swapping voters, from a independent candidate to a party candidate, to get a extra electoral representative in the party, and one of those made it through to the final electoral college.
Apparently I'm not in-tune with popular opinion,
no, I think you probably are. Your just not in tune with those who are wielding the power of your vote.
Why add weight, friction, and complexity with gears?
most are direct drive, true. But every vehicle application (and 90% of other applications) need a massive gearing reduction after the motor, that I have heard of anyway.
problem is that torque of electric is limited by the current, and speed is limited by voltage. So you need motor windings that can handle high currents to get high torque. You need motor windings with insulation that won't break down at high voltages to get high speed. You need lots of windings to get any efficiency. barring super conductor usage those are solved with size, IE more copper cross section for current, and thicker insulation for voltage. So basically most AC motors are wound without ability for sustained high torque, since high Horse Power is cheaper at high speeds, and gearing reduction is a old practice.
can generate torque from a standstill without any "heroic" engineering
no heroics for a factory motor drive, but you ever seen the size of the motor controller for a typical 100hp+ AC drive? For non permanent magnet motors I guess, if this guy wasn't restricted by money he probably had all rare earth magnets in the motor, save him some complexity, still not just connect power and go.
Transmission losses mean that even with wheeling, the power from my neck of the woods never reaches the East Coast.
So of course your source of electricity is going to find it's closest ground, and that is never going to be too far, but still removing your source to ground raises the voltage level on the entire circuit, regardless that their are a 1000 Voltage sources, and a million paths to ground.
I was thinking more of the social economic cost. IE for record keeping (I assume) whoever owns the lines that your municipality sends their excess power to pays (and passes the cost on).
I agree your electrons are not making it to the East coast, but my assumption is that if Oregon doesn't sell it's power to CA, then Nevada will. If Nevada doesn't sell it's power to CA, then it would sell it to NM...
So a KWh not consumed in Oregon will release that capacity to anywhere in the Grid, thats the point of the Grid.
We're also running on hydroelectric power, at least, those of us up here in the Pacific Northwest.
bah, unless your off the grid your power is the same as everyone else's. It's a interconnected grid, if you remove your PC's their not going to turn down that hydro plant first, their going to turn down the plants with the highest incremental cost, which is probably a natural gas turbine plant (maybe in Pennsylvania.) IE any excess power in your area will be pushed to the next city over, etc, etc to a high cost producer. kudos to your Tax dollars for producing a good source, but your power is just as dirty/clean as everyone else's, turn down that usage.
As a web surfer, it is my obligation to make sure I take reasonable precautions protecting my computer from malicious sites, popups, etc.
obviously it is somewhat of a prisoners dilemma.
IE were all better off if websites were "reasonable" in advertisement usage, appropriate sizes, etc, and users view the adds. But websites make more money, for less effort selling a corner of their page to a advertising company. That company makes the most money (apparently) letting some flashy big adds flow through.
So I start blocking just those adds, but I loose my nice list on a dead PC, and I see adblock plus now updates my list for me. I started off hunting adblocking because of dialup, and large adds, on text based sites. Now with broadband, it's so nice not being annoyed I am addicted to adblock, and the ease of a complete list.
many Innocent sites now lose also. however, nothing prevents sites from hosting their own images, and text adds, I will see them. However it is still more profitable to sell out to the adware companys (even for techie, high firefox usage sites like slashdot)
on (equal power to all four wheels) or isn't (equal power to two wheels only).
not to get too nitpicky, but most 4WD systems engage equal speed to the front and rear wheels, and the open diff axles (the majority) will apply equal torque to the 2 wheels on its axle. Only the traditional AWD systems will apply equal torque to all wheels, thus one free spinning wheel could result in nearly 0 power to all wheels. The traditional 4WD system (when engaged) would require a front wheel, and a rear wheel to be spinning. Since their is a direct coupling between front and rear driveshafts if one front wheel is free spinning, 100% of the power would go to the rear wheels (traction allowing.)
So AWD with all open diffs would technically send the most power to the fastest spinning wheel, since equal torque, and torque*speed=power. Since that wheel could be 4* the speedometer reading applying brakes to that by (at least on the early) traction control systems often launched the car.
Actually, most people won't do the paperwork, or won't have their receipts.
actually no receipts or proof of purchase needed for claims under a certain amount. Although I bought many of these eligible products in Iowa, but no longer live their... Also since it no longer comes out of MS's pockets (number of submitted claims doesn't affect their payout), I won't bother. So you are correct (and most people don't know that a receipt is not required.)
he did not shoplift, therefore they had no evidence that he shopifted, therefore they could not be 'reasonably suspicious' of him.
spoken like a true cop. IE no innocent people have ever been convicted of a crime, because their would be no evidence to convict them.
EG I have several times picked up more stuff than I could easily carry in a store, stuck something in my pocket without thinking. upon turning around realized this and pulled it from my pocket. If they had a clear view of the into, but not of the out of, their might be plenty of reason.
Considering SCOX has always managed to bouce back over the $1 mark to avoid delisting I suspect you might be right.
That clock has already been ticking for 4 months, they only have 2 months left to make a recovery. ( I am assuming a short burst to $1.50 didn't reset the clock. ) SCO to be delisted.
If the Company cannot demonstrate compliance with Rule 4310(c)(4) by October 22, 2007, the Nasdaq staff will determine whether the Company meets The Nasdaq Capital Market initial listing criteria set forth in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c), except for the bid price requirement. If the Company meets the initial listing criteria, the Nasdaq staff will notify the Company that it has been granted an additional 180 calendar day compliance period. If the Company is not eligible for an additional compliance period, the Nasdaq staff will provide written notice that the Company's securities will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal the Nasdaq staff's determination to delist its securities to a Listing Qualifications Panel.
However if I wanted to watch something offline, I'd buy it or wait until Netflix mailed it.
so you want to wait, even when you don't have to.
"white hat just because I can"
but why not see if you can do it now.
Like most online comments about the service, netflix streaming doesn't interest me, because I don't like to watch TV on my computer, when my TV is setup better for that.
I do have a network attached linktheater DVD player, and all my DVD's are ripped to a hard drive and streamed to this player. So downloading might interest me if I can play it through my remote control, and TV with surround sound.
I don't have a moral problem with riping DVD's I receive through online rental. Since I have a 12 month contract with intelliflix, I look at it as a membership, where they own all the movies, and are willing to loan them to me at anytime. The only reason I don't have complete access at a moments notice to all the DVD's they own is due to slow shipping. I am entitled to 3 movies in my rental plan, I never watch more than 3 movies a day from my archive. If people would be honest, I think they should just send me a 750 GB Hard drive with the first batch of movies I want to see, I click on a weblink when I go to watch, it doesn't let more than the number of physical copies they own be approved at the same time block, then we either stream updates, or I walk into the store to swap at GB speeds.
The iPhone *is* a real tablet computer running a real operating system.
well tablet computer, is an attempt at comparing it to a Personal computer? to me the iphone is more a cool web appliance/phone, not a Personal computer. except for promising hacks, you can't load a program onto the iPhone, correct? Being able to hack it, just brings it up to par with say a Tivo, IE it may become a appliance that can be hacked, but is a Tivo also a Personal Computer? Being able to do fancy stuff in a web-page doesn't qualify it as a true PC in my book. To me being a PC means that it is intended for people to be able to load and run a native language program, not just be able to customize with text files.
I guess if your going to call my Archos AV700 a tablet computer as well, their comparable in features, only lacking the phone bit.

If people would be honest, I think they should just send me a 750 GB Hard drive with the first batch of movies I want to see, I click on a weblink when I go to watch, it doesn't let more than the number of physical copies they own be approved at the same time block, then we either stream updates, or I walk into the store to swap at GB speeds.
well tablet computer, is an attempt at comparing it to a Personal computer? to me the iphone is more a cool web appliance/phone, not a Personal computer. except for promising hacks, you can't load a program onto the iPhone, correct? Being able to hack it, just brings it up to par with say a Tivo, IE it may become a appliance that can be hacked, but is a Tivo also a Personal Computer? Being able to do fancy stuff in a web-page doesn't qualify it as a true PC in my book.
To me being a PC means that it is intended for people to be able to load and run a native language program, not just be able to customize with text files.
I guess if your going to call my Archos AV700 a tablet computer as well, their comparable in features, only lacking the phone bit.
