that's what i have found so far. normally you cannot use aluminum on an induction cooktop, probably because a thick layer of aluminum is equally as conductive as the copper inductor in the cooktop, however a thin layer of aluminum can be brought to hover itself away from the cooktop and / or begin to glow if held in place. my cooktop took no damage from trying this but of course - don't try this at home
I would love to see a correlation chart between space weather (x-ray, proton flux) and radioactive decay. far more precise measurements (decay rate per minute) may be required. I wonder when the solar influence is strongest: while the solar flare is developing within the sun, when it erupts on the surface, when the solar flare becomes visible on earth or even only when the proton-storm hit's the atmosphere. this should give a first guess to what is causing the effect and I would not even rule out some quantum effect that translates faster than the speed of light. maybe we are just witnessing the effects of somthing that might one day become subspace communication;-)
I had already removed the acpi-support package some time ago. I hate it when my computer develops a life of it's own and does things without being asked. Therefore I tried to removed all dispensable packages. I even considered replacing Ubuntu's init system with a plain startup script and gnome-session with a.xinitrc. And yes, I have done that a long time ago with RedHat.
Congratulations, ATI has just wasted another two months, trying to catch up with the competition, and ended up releasing a driver that does not even support AMD's x86_64 architecture.
Obviously the ATI developers are totally incompetent and I can only wonder how long AMD's management is going to tolerate this. At least I have learned my lesson and will make very sure not to buy any hardware from ATI again. Even if this means that I also have to buy a Intel processor.
Congress is supposed to represent the democratic souveraign in this country. Refusing to provide them with information about the executive branch's (wrong)doing brings democracy to it's end. Maybe the "liberation troops" supposed to bring democracy to Iraq are more needed in their homeland!
If the MAFIAA is allowed to pursue their Jihad, we will sooner than later wake up in a world where modern technology is outlawed, just because it could be used to infringe on their right to rip off consumers.
P2P Networks, the Usenet, HTTP, e-mail,... could all be used for unauthorized distribution. Cassette, video recorders and cameras could be used for unauthorized copying. Radio and TV could be used to listen to unauthorized broadcasts. Outlaw them all and you are back in the moyen age.
Buying music is stealing other people's right to listen to the music. Each time you buy a CD you give the copyright industry the very money they need to make false claims in the media and bribe the lawmakers to retroactively justify their claims. Do you really want to wake up in this world: http://www.rettet-das-internet.de/besucher/besucher_misatire.htm
It would be difficult and expensive to bribe the geral public in order to pass such laws. That is why we live in so called "representative democracy" where we have to elect the very people that sell our interests to the best bidding industry.
Since then I have found that there are already standards based open source replacements for Skype, mainly SIP and Ekiga. In contrast to Skype they got video conferencing and you can get a public telephone number for free.
Also I started to think about what would be needed for the german "Bundestrojaner" and compare it to Skype: - it is installed on a majority of systems - it is protected against decompilation / debuggers - it bypasses almost any firewall - it uses encryption for network traffic - it may send lots of data even when not making a call - it might have already been deployed by the NSA - eBay has a history of cooperating with federal agencies
Just another sad case of Tacitus' (roman historian and philopher) observation: The more corrupt the Republic, the more numerous the laws.
Maybe US legislation should be officially outsourced to ebay, so every citizen get's a fair chance to buy his favourite law, at least once the industry and the rich are satisfied and anyone else has some bucks left.
I wonder if this technology can be patented at all, it is well known that bacteria can be killed by ozone, it is even more well known that an electrical discharge such as in laser printers produce ozone.
That's insane! Just clean it with soap and/or acid and use either of 70% alcohol or chlorine bleach to sterilize. Unless you have a clean room compartment you will always end up having unwanted germs in your culture, but this does not matter as long as you add a vastly superior amount of yeast.

Palm's Mistakes
·
· Score: 1
The first Palms were obviously designed by idealistic geeks, the devices were innovative, reasonably priced and very durable. Then, with the m-series, they made really cheap units with no flash memory and a lousy casing but lots of flaws (remember the USB connector problem). Next these geniouses split their products into an expensive business and an affordable consumer line, ignoring the fact that many business users would also like to have features like a camera. Last but not least they have missed every opportunity to improve the core applictions like schedule, address book, notepad and todo list. Oh, not to forget that they have crippled the mobile phone models with a keyboard for mice.
Albert Einstein postulated "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.". You have just proven the latter.
Tell me, how many innocent civilians have been killed by the britisch military in iraq?
How could this be possible in UK? London is probably the best monitored city in the world. Didn't they tell us they need video cameras to fight terrorism? Maybe this attack was allowed or even encouraged to happen by the secret service? Could you imagine any better excuse for the G8 to put their citizens under even more surveillance and opression?
Employment opportunities are created when people have the need and money to request goods in the market. Unfortunately money tends to addict more money (interest) so we will likely end up with enormous financial and material assets with little demands on the one and major demands without money on the other hand. Realize the truth: our economy is just one big game of monopoly, doomed to end in a big collapse like it happened before in World War I and II.
Maybe kernel.org should finally consider moving to a more appropriate filesystem than ext3, preferably reiserfs for it beeing optimized to handle a lot of small files. Tail packing not only saves disk space but more important a lot of memory in block cache.
I am certain that we will not be doomed to sub-light-speed travel in the future. One thing quantum mechanics has already proven is, that information can travel faster than light. For example take two coupled photons and send them out in opposite direction. Both can either show wave like or particle like properties, depending on what happens to it's twin. This implicates that energy can travel faster than light and in turn all matter is energy.
always gives their citizens plenty of reasons to feel guilty so they try to keep a low profile and do not risk civil unrest or a revolution against a corrupted system. Schon Tacitus wusste: Corruptissima re publica plurimae leges. The greater the degeneration of the kingdom, the more of its laws.

Stop buying DVDs and CDs and wait until the copyright mafia has wasted all their remaining money for bribing our lawmakers.

I stopped using Skype just a short time ago, mainly because of eBay's attitude toward AMD64 support:

I guess that will heavily affect RFC2549 services - IP over avian carrier.

The distance doesn't matter, I am pretty certain it could be done with n photons but I doubt it has been tried yet.
