That article was just facinating. I thought the scariest part was where they talked about the future of nukes. How some in the military want the crew at Los Alamos to start developing new low-yield nukes to bust bunkers and caves. That goes against what the old timers up there always thought about nukes, how they were just so scary and destructive that noone would ever use them.
Kinda takes the genie out of the bottle. Then everyone else might start to use them for the regional scirmishes.
I think after WWII he was kinda shoved back in there. Maybe his bottle just kept getting bigger.
There was an earthquake in Taiwan last year that took out a few plants. There was another last week, pretty large, > 6 if I remember right. Most of the memory in this country comes from there.
Supply and Demand has alot to do with it too. It's kinda like a gas war. Someone gets cocky and lowers their price, they will get all the buisness if noone else does so they do to. Eventually it gets to the point where they are loosing money just to sell the stuff. You have to make money so eventually you go out of buisness or raise your prices.
Wired had an article last month talking about a laser that could be used for both missle defense and to zap pieces of space junk into oblivion
Sounds Kinda interesting. Remember in that star trek movie, #3 or #4 where they had the Klingon going around shooting up space junk. He shot that satelite with tribal pictures painted on it. Maybe we will be doing that someday

Wow, a.50 cal. I wanted to buy one of those once. TOO MUCH, the guy wanted $5000 and was selling rounds for $4 a piece. I though my.357 DE was too much! Good to hear from someone out there that still has common sense. Keep up the good fight abolith. Guys like that guy from Canada we are reponding to grow up in an Urban area and are never exposed to guns. They see them on TV and in the movies and are never taught respect for firearms. They hear stories on the news and in "expozesses" (sp) about people being shot, gang violence, school shootings. They never hear about the 10,000 people that day that saved their own lives or their families lives with their personal firearms. It's a shame.
The reason he thinks they are close is because they are refining their techniques to detect smaller and smaller gravitational fluctuations in the sun they are looking at.
Up until now they have only been able to find gas giants because they exert such a strong force on the sun they orbit that they actually change the shape of the sun slightly depending on which side they are on. They know these planets are so big becuase they compare them to Jupiter and Saturn.
They think if they compare the gravitational force applied to the sun by Jupiter to the force applied by earth that they might be able to match those reading somewhere else in the galaxy

Your ignorance is rampant, you remind me of the people in the mideast who hate America but have never been here and no nothing except what the media has told them. Who are you to tell me that I can't own a gun and I shouldn't be able to. I have never met you and never will. If you don't want to own a gun fine. Don't buy one. But people like you who think they can just tell everyone else how to live are just wrong.
The second amendment was not put in place to prevent a british invasion. It was put in place to allow citizens to keep their personal firearms so if needed they could be called on to form a militia to defend the United States in case of any invasion or so the people could rise up and overthrow the government if it became corrupt and started to trample our rights.
If half the Russian people under Stailin would of had guns do you think he would of been in power long? What if the jews hadn't given up their guns to the Nazi's before WWII, then maybe they could of defended themseleves when the SS came to round them up and take them to the gas chamber. What about the Israilis? If noone had guns there how long do you think it would take for the Palestinians, Syrians, Lebenneese, Egyptians and Iraqi's to kill them all off?
Just because America is a great power today doesn't mean it always will be. Thus we need our firearms.
I own firearms for Hunting and to protect my girlfriend and myself from criminals. You will find that 99.9 percent of Americans own them for one of the above reasons also. I also like to go shooting with my friends and family. I will not depend on the police to protect me and you are not helping your family by depending on them to help you.
He said the software would show a pop-up box explaining the network's function and giving people a chance to turn it off. People who allow their computers to be used will be compensated somehow, possibly with gift certificates or free videos, the company's filing said.
I bet it isn't a joke
They have every right to do this and these companies have to make money somehow.
I mean they setup this network and let us all download pr0n all day and we never pay a cent.
I work for a small isp in ND, we have a cd that we send out with both Mac and PC software,
On the pc side we include a DUN upgrade for older machines. The boss wrote a little utility to make a dun connection and add in their mail settings if they don't need to install IE off the cd. We are shipping 5.5 right now I think. We include an old service pack for win95 too.
We support linux. Every server we have runs Redhat 6.2 and we never have problems. In fact almost every isp I know of here runs linux for everything, unless you have something specific like a SQl server or some crappy ass program that won't work in WINE.
On the mac side we send out FreePPP for a connection manager.
The biggest issue I get is user incompetance
I swear sometimes I wish I worked for Flexnet
After reading most of these posts I have come to one conclusion. Most physisists make their career arguing with each other about how the universe works, where none of them know if they are right. Have any of you ever been to a phyics debate at a University? It almost gets to the point of fist fights sometimes.
Interesting? yes Does it help the rest of us? no This guy who invented the anti-gravity machine is obviously a crackpot. Sounds like the cobalt electricity producer and the perpetual motion machine.
Maybe we need Dick from 3rd rock to explain this to us. Wasn't he a physics teacher?
Exact same thing with me. Cept they were a little more persistant in trying to rip me off.
My domain name was up in early March, I renewed it to 04 when they sent me a renewal letter in November. They have since sent me no less than 10 other letters, 3 or 4 emails and twice have actually called me, I told the two idiots on the phone that I already renewed it. They didn't know what to say so I hung up.
I have also recieved letters from Register.com and another place looking like I had my domain through them and It was time to renew.
Alas now I work for an ISP and register my names through them. If I need to renew I do it my self. End of story. Verisign has some serious problems in their renewal system though.
I agree, If every console was to use some java as a base for every game and then just use a type of java VM for each platform that would just give Sun almost complete control over the console market. Then why would you need to buy the X-Box to play a certain game when you could play it on your old ps1 with crummier graphics. That would pretty much stifle innovation in the market and get rid of competition. Microsoft is going to be against it, Sony won't like it.
With those guys on the other side of the ring the chances don't look very good.
Hollings said that "any device that can legitimately play, copy, or electronically transmit one or more categories of media also can be misused for illegal copyright infringement, unless special protection technologies are incorporated."
This seems to me to be another step in the direction of Government and Hollywood not trusting it's citizens and consumers.
They assume that we will all break the law if given the chance so they need to prevent us from doing it before we can. Watch out people this is only the begining.
If it does that would be great. I live in North Dakota, a.k.a. The windiest place on earth. The government gave a huge tax break to this company that wanted to put up a wind farm out here, they put up one windmill and then they revoked the law this year in congress, OOOPS now we have a big honking ugly ass windmill on the side of the interstate doing nothing.

Really good article in wired this month about all of this. Check it out. Talks about the future of Nuclear Scientists and what they are doing about the loss of knowledge
So Jesse Jackson is a little left of center? How about Al Sharpton? Sen. Hillary Clinton? Kweisi Mfume? There are too many extremely leftist guests that have appeared on the O'Reily factor and Hanity and Colmes to name, along with alot of crackpots on the right. I agree Fox does slant to the right. They shouldn't be calling their reporting fair and balanced if they blatently slant like that. This doesn't justify their slanted reporting. But CNN, MSNBC, and CBS are all blatently left. This is without contest. Remember when Dan Rather said "We won" during the 2000 presidential election? Who do you think he was talking about? All reporting is slanted, every reporter has an agenda, they all have their personal biases in their stories. I am only 20 but It has been like that as long as I can remember. My grandparents tell me when they were young the news was the news, that was it, no obvious slant. They just said was happened. of course that was a long time ago.
Well at least there are still some elected officials in congress that are fighting the good fight. Hearing about people like the guys who are pushing the SSSCA and such makes you loose hope. Everyone who lives in this guys district should send him a letter telling him that he is doing right.
My uncle has a combine that has GPS, he has had it for 5 or 6 years now. His boat has GPS, his car has GPS, hell, I think he even tracks his damn dog with it. That combine has a cd player and cost about ohhhhh a quarter million dollars, I think he even put a playboy rack in there
It must be the bottom dollar. This seems to me like another sony betamax all over again. Anyone who has seen beta and vhs side by side would pick beta hands down. All the tv stations use it. It is better technology. It was more expensive. People bought vhs, beta disapeared. Rambus comes out, if you put a pIV with rambus next to a pIV with ddr and run them with the same apps the one with rambus will almost always win, more bus bandwith, the latency is usually less. Rambus is more expensive. People bitch and buy ddr, now rambus will start supplying memory only in high end machines and we will only be able to buy the inferior ddr.
