Unless the refrigerant is flowing around the electric motor, which I doubt, there is still a shaft seal inside the sealed unit. Also this seems pretty silly since you're now converting mechanical energy into electricity in the alternator or whatever your prius has, then converting it back into mechanical energy to drive the compressor. Granted that allows the AC to work even when the engine isn't running but it does decrease the overall efficiency of the AC system. Maybe that loss is made up for in the whole hybrid system...
Let's not forget this is the local yocal salt lake city paper promoting a couple of local yocal kids, not a serious technical journal with serious technical data to back up their claims.
Select a machine somewhere to be a dedicated video conference server and have everybody VPN into that machine. Then all those crazy h.whatever ports should be fine.
Ok first of all, Forrest Mimms rules. He wrote those little "Engineer's Mini Notebooks" you used to be able to get at Radio Shack (maybe you still can, I'm not sure), they're small, easy to understand, chock full of GREAT electronics projects, and best of all cheap. Also his amazing book Getting Started in Electronics is probably the best introduction to electronics ever. You can find his stuff on his web site at http://www.forrestmims.com/
Second of all get your ham radio license! Buy a copy of Now You're Talking! from the ARRL and study up! Amateur radio is approximately 50% applied analog and digital electronics, and don't think all that communications theory stuff doesn't apply to computers because it does, RF knowledge is CRITICAL to engineering high speed digital circuits! Get involved with a local ham radio club and start building ham radio kits and projects. Other than working in an electronics lab, it's the best way to get applied electronics experience quickly.
And EMP wipes electronics, but doesn't destroy the contents of hard drives. You would be safe as long as you weren't stupid enough to download your brain to flash memory.
I'm not sure about that. It seems highly probably that the eddy currents induced in the drive platters by the EMP would be more than sufficient to scramble the bits. The fact that it's enclosed in a metal box will probably provide some shielding, though not complete protection. Floppy disks would seem more vulnerable but then again they use a plastic disc, with only a very thin magnetic coating, so who knows? The magnetic coating is probably still vulnerable. I wonder how conductive it is? I'll have to check on that when I get home:)
Most people on earth will be happy to blab to you for as long as you're willing to listen, for no charge. Also you can make your own. In fact you just did.
One word: Freedom. Linux is free, as in speach. The LSB restricts that freedom. It also has some negative aspects, like an RPM requirement. Basicly LSB sucks.
Integrated applications -- This industry buzzword has been used to describe many things; here it means that text, graphics, tables, and mathematical formulae are all edited inside documents. In many other systems, different types of content are edited in separate application windows and then cut/pasted together. For example: a MacDraw drawing put into a Microsoft Word or Aldus PageMaker document can no longer be edited; rather, the original must be re-edited with MacDraw and then substituted for the old drawing in the document.
Not even Star is fully integrated in the sense used here. For example, though the original structured graphics editor, the new one (see History of Star Development, below), and the table and formula editors all operate inside text files, spreadsheets and freehand drawings are currently edited in separate application windows and transferred into documents, where they are no longer fully editable.
First of all, don't complain about how it's not what you're used to because THATS THE FARKING POINT! It's supposed to be revolutionary! Forget what you think you know and approach Archy with an open mind, for crying out loud!
I do and have done a LOT of typing and I would welcome a powerful text editing system consistant accross platforms that combines the best of all worlds and I think this has a LOT of potential.
The biggest disappointment for me is the non-free license. It's only free for non-commercial use. That's pretty much means it will never go anywhere, IMO. If it was GPL'ed or BSD'ed, then I think it would have a chance.
I think this proposal is crazy. If you use software as a part of running your business, that software is benefiting you and indirectly providing services to your customers, even if they never see it. So where do you draw the line?
Speaking of google adwords spammers, eBay has got to be the worst. Every other search I do I get some generic and irrelevant eBay ad with an incomplete sentence containing one of my keywords.
I'm working on some old library code for my job now and it's chock full of assertions. I think it's rediculous that a library call should cause the calling application to exit because of a failed assertion. In a "normal" application, assertions don't belong outside of main().
Most states have laws prohibiting health insurance companies from denying you coverage due to preexisting conditions. And cancer treatment can be a lot cheaper and shorter if the cancer is caught early. I don't know about life insurance though.

Build a Pringles can antenna and start homing in! Good resources here: http://members.aol.com/homingin/
I guarantee that a hairdryer will cause significant interference to any HF receiver in the vicinity.
How long do you think it will take for that to happen?
Nuff said

I'm n1ywb and that's my two cents.
I'm suprised the French haven't banned Hollywood movies already, at least ones that aren't filmed in French...
Start your own news portal and steal all of slashdots readership. Good luck.

I think it's pretty clear that most people in the FOSS community were NOT happy with Linus' choice to use BitKeeper. Get a clue.

Whatever that stupid game was that all those goths were playing 10 years ago.
Archy doesn't even use files in the conventional sense so your argument is sophomoric. Go away.

I'm guessing you'll see a patch within 24 hours. *Fingers crossed*
