Hey, has Defcon put out its call for 2012 speakers yet?
It sounds like you're looking for someone who at least feels an ethical responsibility to help. Call the EFF; it's not their bailiwick, but they may be able to find the right tree to shake for you. Link to their webpage
Plus they're lawyers, it's always nice to have lawyers on your side.
Definitely the Space Center if you're near Houston. Also if you drive through Waxahatchie Texas you can see what was almost the US Super Collider (most of the hole is dug, but that's it, they cut funding).
Really? I thought they had an absolute fixation on mathematics, physics, and CS PHDs. Also computer engineer / electrical engineer types. Like, don't both applying unless you've got those diplomas.
I hear a diploma is required. But remember, they're not all number pushers. They need analysts, too.
Something's going on in the background here... it's unlikely these legislators are taking such a myopic view. Say the TSA tries to ban flights to Texas... really? Would anyone stand for this? Even a Californian would stand up for Texas if that were to happen. Even an Oregonian... hell, maybe even someone from Delaware.
This bill sounds like something John Wayne would support, which means it should be gravy to pass through the Texas house.
Since you can nebulize pretty much any liquid (Note: even though this would include Mountain Dew, please do not nebulize Mountain Dew), it shouldn't be too hard to find something water soluble to try this with.
I wish the extract discussed whether this was a high dosing or low dosing effect, or if it mattered. Some substances have different effects on the body in different concentrations; if this is the case here, it will make delivery a bit more annoying in emergent cases./paramedic
A few years ago a gentleman calling himself Major Malfunction decided to do a proof of concept at Defcon on the dangers of RFID. He set up a table with a box doing RFID queries. When the box got a return and found usable data, it snapped a picture.
Many Federal agents walked by the table. They were not pleased when they found out the nature of the experiment. The data was destroyed, but the point was made. RFID protective wallets sold *real* well that year...
We were actually expecting a lot more oil from this news, but the surface is still relatively clear, with small, 20-50 meter blobs of oil to be collected and a great deal of green water otherwise. Two task forces are out here skimming, and 500 bbls a day is a good haul for one of the skimmers. We've been hampered by several fronts passing through the area, but collection continues. There's been a C-130 dropping dispersant in the area, with good results on the oil (although it makes the remains too thin to skim).
Although many here will scoff at the daily take we're seeing on the skimming vessels, it's surprising how little oil you see around the spill zone. A lot, I hope, is burning in that giant fire in the horizon. I expected a spike in how much oil we'd see, but it's all going... somewhere, just not up here.
Having heard Kaminsky speak a few times, I'd say he used that language as a personal joke... at least I hope he did. Dan is brilliant but his ego choked off his tact a long time ago.
Nice envelope math, I'm right there with you. I grabbed my old Nodal book and used the single phase vertical flow equation down here in a similar vein. I didn't work much deepwater back in the day, so I just eyeballed some numbers... I' came up with about 24,000 BOPD; another person ended up with about 27,000 BOPD using video evaluation.
I think this must be a highly overpressured reservoir to still produce this flow rate after so long flowing; this is essentially a long-term drawdown on the reservoir, and pressure should have tailed off significantly by now. Can you speak to that (or any of my guessed numbers) and still keep your job?
Notice I assumed 3" pipe instead of 5" pipe for the flow... I did this to cheat in 2 ways:
First, I assumed that the pipe has kinks and flow restrictions, which would create at least one throttle in the system, I guessed fixed at 3"
Second, I am playing fast and loose with the roughness factor, and decided to be VERY conservative. The smaller diameter creates a larger effect from roughness, which also helps account for the fact that the pipe probably still has mud and other things inhibiting flow.

Dr. Fouchier could not be reached at his volcano-based research facility for comment.

So much for getting my astronaut application in ahead of everyone else. I thought he said this was foolproof!
...although it would be ironic if the actor playing him would fail his test.

The unlicensed playing of ANY popular music attracts sharks, regardless of the artist. Did they have a proper license to perform the music?

I propose we call it the Caste'r-Card.
That way every checkpoint can require Caste'r-Card and Visa to get in.
