Seriously, people talk about street view as if it gave more than a single static image...
They act like it would help potential thieves learn when you are home or something... or somehow help them case your house.
How much information can be gleaned from a few blurry photos of your house?
The fact that it exist, and has door? Maybe a car in the driveway (depending on when the googlecar drove by?)
Vonnegut from "God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater,"
"Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies - 'God damn it, you've got to be kind.' "
my feeble attempt at an epitaph
"Goodbye, Mr. Vonnegut. God bless you, Mr. Vonnegut.
You told us about ice, you told us about fire. You made us laugh and taught us to think. Your time here was too short. But you gave us a lot more than one rule, you gave us someone to root for."
Actually I think this is the worst book to start with (it has other charcters in it for starters...)
Plus Vonnegut himself gave it a C.
(from wikipedia)In Chapter 18 of his book Palm Sunday "The Sexual Revolution," Vonnegut grades his own works. He states that the grades "do not place me in literary history" and that he is comparing "myself with myself." The grades are as follows:
* Player Piano: B
* The Sirens of Titan: A
* Mother Night: A
* Cat's Cradle: A-plus
* God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater: A
* Slaughterhouse-Five: A-plus
* Welcome to the Monkey House: B-minus
* Happy Birthday, Wanda June: D
* Breakfast of Champions: C
* Slapstick: D
* Jailbird: A
* Palm Sunday: C
Slaughterhouse-Five or Cat's Cradle are both good first books.
A lab I worked at in Cleveland, had so much machine generated heat, that they used almost no actual heating, they just pumped the waste heat into the building.
Which ment the in the summer, the cooling had to be insane.
You got it all right regarding A/C inefficiency. So right there the efficiency improvement means that C/kva ratio is better. (More cooling for less power)
But the goal of using oils is their heat transfer properties. Allowing for low speed pumps and radiators. In an ideal system, it would have integration into the building. Servers in their oil, heat exchanged with some central system that leads to roof radiators.
In Warm climates this would be less effective... but still.
Little worry there, unless they add Bat'leths and remake the crapy klingons from OST...
What is the lame excuse they used to cover them again?
Almost as convoluted as saying the first Earth Romulan war was fought against romulan ships that didnt have warp. (or that the OST bird of prey didn't have warp)
Now that I think about it, maybe they should fix all this..
Oh it is worse than that...
In August 2003, Walden O'Dell, chief executive of Diebold, announced that he had been a top fund-raiser for President George W. Bush and had sent a get-out-the-funds letter to Ohio Republicans. In the letters he says he is "committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year."
Ken Blackwell (Ohio's Secretary of State (Repub)) and current canidate for Ohio Gov is the one who certifies Ohio's elections, and is the one who approved the use of Diebold's machines.
Ohio State Senator Jeff Jacobson, Republican, asked Blackwell in July, 2003 to disqualify Diebold Election Systems' bid to supply voting machines for the state, after security problems were discovered in its software, but was refused.
When Cuyahoga county's primary was held on May 2, 2006, officials ordered the hand-counting of more than 18,000 paper ballots after Diebold's new optical scan machines produced inconsistent tabulations, leaving several local races in limbo for days and eventually resulting in a reversal of the outcome of one race for state representative. Blackwell ordered an investigation by the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections; Ohio Democrats demanded that Blackwell, who is also the Republican gubernatorial candidate in this election, recuse himself from the investigation due to conflicts of interest, but Blackwell has not done so.
Not defend him, but I'm sure, when you say "literally exploded in popularity", no explosive boom is going to be involved. One could argue that the literally in not needed, in fact they did not figuratively explode in popularity.
Explode def:increase rapidly and in an uncontrolled manner.
Had he said "literally exploded." That would be incorrect.
Sine my budget does not include "gaming expenses" in it... I only play MMO's that are free to play
So you aren't playing Puzzle Pirates why??
You can play Puzzle Pirates for free, join a Doubloon server (or ocean, get it? servers are oceans).
Yes people can buy Doubloons, but you dont have to and infact people can only "BUY" Doubloons, they can't buy pieces of eight, so there is a flucuating exchange rate on Doubloons to Pieces of Eight. (usually 750-800 POE/Doubloon).
(actually you can even make POE by playing the Doubloon market.)
I have played Puzzle Pirates for 2-3 months and have earned ~25,000 POE and bought ~20 Doubloons (and spent 75% of that), and I haven't paid one red cent.
Let's see first of all RTFA. It is ONE edition of monopoly. Not all future editions.
Secondly, the title of the slashdot post. "Advertising comes to Board Games."
Really? Ok, hrmm lets read the summary.. Odd No mention of this advertising...
Yes, I know Visa worked with Parker Brothers to make a credit card swiper for ONE edition of monopoly (only in UK and parts of europe so far). And they have the Visa logo on it... Of course, I know that not from this summary.. I guess it was good that I RTFA before slashdot posted it, so I knew what this post was about before I read the summary that misses the point.
Watch out! Sounds as big as the wiretap scandal! Oh wait, nobody cares about that anymore either.
What an amazingly bad messure of importance... If the American Public still care must be important, vs. no longer cares = Unimportant. So American Idol's next round is the next critical thing facing this country.
The average american's lack of focus, concern, and ability to understand an issue in no way alters its significance.
And your point that Doesn't sound very secret to me. Isn't secret when nobody knows about it?, So if they had done it correctly and reclassified without anyone knowing, then it would be fine because we don't know, but because they got caught reclassifing, then they... didn't actually reclassify?
I could dig out some old games that I loved on old systems, but I keep marveling at ET's power to draw me back.
Strong FPS, good team mechanics.. and it is freaking free...
What a deal... (lets see WOW at 50 bucks plus 13/month vs. Free)
Sure I have paid for plenty of games since ET came out, but I keep coming back.
"NO! Begone pest but not before you've bought this EA MadFuckken 2006 Ultra Turbo!"
DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT USE THE HOT COFFEE Mod on this game!
I mean the title tells you what it is, but man after 'hot coffee' I couldn't get that ultra turbo Mad doing the hot coffee out of my head... not pretty
Priced at $12,000, the XS-3900 is a relatively affordable solution for locations that require high-density networks.
Hrmmm 12k, yeah I can spare that I just broke a 50k bill buying my coffee.... in the year 2050.
shoot there was supposed to be a lighting shift and music when I said that.. I don't know your primative HTML very well.
Nice cheap gas you have here tho...
Huh?
I just read that and it sounds like:
It gives 1.5Mbit/s to eight users
at upto 20km distance
and it uses the existing phone line
So seeing as it up from like 3 miles and these microDSLAMs are rugged enough to be like pole monted or underground, it seems like this could do a big chunk of the goal of BPL. (see other slashdot discussion)
If Im wrong feel free to explain it to me... It sounds better than bad, (and better than BPL) to me...
Yeah the article suggests it would be BPL over long distances, and then Fiber or (what are they smoking?) WiMax.
That struck me as strange at first because the 'last mile' is all ways the biggest problem with Cable & DSL (you are too far / not enough relay stations).
I guess the real goal here is Hitting the pockets. The small underserved areas. Which I guess if this eventually happens with WiMax, it might be conceptual to have a nationwide wireless network, or atleast one that looks like the current cell phone coverage networks...
Slashdot Mirror
Basically it looks like command line
shutdown -a (to stop the autorestart)
Put SVChost.exe back in place (out of the quarantine )
and disable McAfee...
In 500 mm turn right at the Hippocampus, and you have reached your destination.
Seriously, this is pretty cool. Genomics and protenomics are cool, but you have to map the brain to understand it...
Seriously, people talk about street view as if it gave more than a single static image...
