The 3 gorges damn is huge, the world's largest dam at present time, but the power generation possible at fundy is just staggering.
I think underwater screened turbines would prevent sea life from being churned up, and prevent silting like the 'dam'type hydro electric tidal generators built in france.
Some under sea power turbines are being deployed near malaysia.
Also in the fusion arena, I think the bubble fusion principle makes alot more sense economically, and has already demonstrated that it will work.
Keep in mind it is not cold fusion, it is high temp based.
Future economy of this country, only services.........
Soon it will be that way, and all manufacturing will cease on US shores.
The US is headed for a cataclysmic mess IMHO.
It is already acknowledged that a trade deficit is bad, and all the politicians pretty much nodded yes to that fact.
The US trade deficit gets bigger every year.
All they do is sign off new treaties and trade deals to make it even worse . Hypocrites.
The US politicians are little more than the Corporate sellouts.
Yet on the other hand they are opening the US to L1 visa workers that can be worked in a blackmail type environment for wages that will not even house US workers.
Factories are closing their doors and reopening in other countries.
Call centers are being shipped to Bangalore.
And anything u will buy will be made outside the US soon.
I do not know what jobs ppl will work, but soon it will not be answering a phone, or making anything.
Even engineering is being shipped overseas, or the engineers are being shipped over here in droves.
That is why I realized I have little choice but to adapt or fail.
I left the corporate rat race and started a tech support biz for small biz and home office.
I have a small clientele , and I charge 2 times less than the big guys like geek squad and the others.
My customers are happy and they call me back to return.
I work less hours than I ever did in the corporate hell hole, have near zero stress, and make about the same money I did due to having a VERY good accountant.
I will never look back, an dif this work dries up I will go ahead and find another service industry that illegal immigrants are not schooled to do "yet".
I have read alot of posts on here about techs not wanting to charge a rate that they feel is too high.
Most feel the rate is too high because when the plumber shows up and bills them for $60 - $90 for a ball of hair in their pipes.
They cringe at the cost.
We are a new generation, the freelance small biz and home computer support ppl did not exist 20 years ago as it does today.
If you are certified/qualified, and do good work, and the ppl you have done work for are very happy and fixed and informed of spyware and virii after you leave you are worth as much as the the turd herder, and the guy that runs 3 copper wires from a switchbox to a outlet.
If you wanna charge less that is your issue, but I feel I should have a car that gets me to work reliably, not a porsche mind you.
I feel I should have a place to live I can call home.
I feel I should be able to support, cloth, feed my family.
Price beyond that and your dabbling in the "noveau liberal rich".
ie. progressive taxation on ppl that make more than poverty wages.
A PC tech billing $50 an hour is not gonna get rich, and he is going to have expenses, and he is going to spend 1/4 to 1/3 his time chasing paper work, doing taxes, doing invoices answering phone calls that don't pan out for any profit.
I wish them well, it is what I do every day and I don't want to work for the corporate sled dog, rat race, two faced, stock price obsessed, freakazoids ever again.
You do not want to see what a "good" lawyer charges, and you do not want to see what a type flight accountant charges either.
If your that good, you can and should charge "that" much.
Alot of other ppl are willing and able to bill you for MUCH more.
True True, when I got canned at Crisco ( cisco ) there was 8,500 full time, and no idea the temps and contractors that got canned.
It was a 60+ million dollar Voice over Ip lab where we designed and built a universal protocol convertor for SS7.
AKA international VOIP gateway SS7 protocol convertor.
It was so bad at the office I worked at in Herndon Virginia that state law required them either give us 6 months notice or give us 6 months severance . Because they canned over 50% of the staff at that location, mostly software coders, and test engineers.
I was a lab support engineer, its funny they kept the psycho in drug rehab and canned their best lab supprt guy Tim Murphy.
We called him McGuyver because he could wire power live to anything, and do anything "except" work on computers.
He was hard core telecom, and should have been kept.
I knew SS7 moderately well, and supported the Inet Spectra black boxes which did clear text decode of T1 and T3 trunks, and I used to work at Inet in dallas.
I could almost see why they canned me and my good friend who is now Sr. Open GL coder at NSSL in Norman OK, but Tim Murphy was prolly their best support engineer.
It was all done to liquidate stock options and block vesting in 401k plans, Crisco just reclaimed alot of their money.
They optioned 6 months severance to avoid sabotage, infighting, and other uglier possibilities that arise when ppl are kept because they have Visa's and the ppl being canned have too many stock options and canning them would reacquire them for the company.
Almost all the marketing pukes kept their jobs, and another office they had just bought a few months before in dallas took over our project.
Ppl lost houses, cars, and wives, and kids to divorce.
It was really hideous, even misty who stayed working there cried for days . Ppl had to go get counseling.
I kinda saw the DOT BOMB coming way back and started trying to save and live minimalistically back in 1999.
I had alot saved, and because I had a 'clue' I got a job within 30 days but several states away as a contractor.
Made more good money, and ratholed it away.
I miss the awesome lab, the 60+ million in cisco and sun gear, but working for Bob Milton on the few days he did show up.
The stress on Bob at home was so bad, what went on at work was enough to to finish him, he died not long after all the layoffs.
The average call time requirement started out at like 9:12 Then it went to 8:30 , then to 8:00, then to 7:00.
I did my stint starting in May of 1998 and because I was an old sk00l PC technician, and electronics technician, and full time I was asked to be a "Mentor". When I found out it would negatively impact my statisitics I said " can I get execeptions enetered ? "
I was told no . So I answered no to the mentor status request.
This made them angry, and I simply told them I will not sacrifice my stats and work harder than anyone else on my team and help AO-hell train them when it offers no difference in pay than the ppl I am training, and I get penalized performance wise because I am off the phone for 37 seconds of " IDLE " to help some tech illiterate they have hired because she is "so and so's" girlie friend.
Right before I quit and left AO-hell to go do networking and telecommunications I was asked to help cover in RST.
RST was representative support technicians, we helped the techs when they could not figure it out themselves.
I worked in this capacity for a few months, and then the test came up for ppl to get promoted to RST which I had been working at about 50% of my time on the phones.
I was not allowed to even take the test because they knew I'd nail the damn thing . They picked by popularity contest and hired 2 cutzie ditz heads , and a Mr. popular man around campus type.
They asked me the next day to go work in RST after this affront and help "UPTRAIN" the fucktards they just hired over me, and around me.
I told them I am not paid at that scale, and I no longer wish to work in that capactiy , and will return to my normal duties.
They started hammering me over not getting enough trasnfer for free gasoline cards after helping ppl out on the phone and my stats were otherwise immaculate.
I walked over to my coach and asked "Hey, you know the way to the door ??? " She said " yeah...." looking apprehensive , and I said " Walk me out, I am done with this place. "
And thus my coach Angela walked me out and I left AO-hell for good.
Before I quit though, I sent out the obiligatory e-mail that started with saying to forgot about me and my personal whining.
Take a serious look at the nepotism, the illiterate techs, the customer is SUPPOSE to come first, and how they were alienating their technical staff by paying their "SAVES" ppl about double at that time what the techs made . Further alientating the tech staff by not rewarding good techs for good work.
Techs that had a "HIGH" fix rate were specifically targetted for "HOT TRANSFERS" by saves ppl to help save customers about to drop the service, and I was one of these ppl . It did not matter a hill of beans when it came to promotion or pay.
This short novel is why I quit, and why I think AO-hell hopelessly sucks so bad I can't stand them, and I go out of my way to tell my friends, family, and clients of the business I run now.
AO-hell, To boldly suck like nothing has ever sucked before.
If your a windows user download NeoTrace or an equivalent tool and watch your "latency" to other nodes and ip addresses of ppl on different or even the same network your on.
The cable modem folks and some DSL providers are notorious for routing all their traffic in a region through one location and that location having routing issues because they are technically running it at capacity or ocassionally beyond capactiy.
Where I am at everyone for hundreds of miles goes thru Kansas City.
I have seen trace routes with hideous spikes through these routers, and not even been able to play a simple multi-player game with ppl on a different cable modem network.
The networks needs some kind of guidance or oversight on quality control, and it will fix these problems.
They are letting it stay like this due to the money.
They can manage the network easier, and spend less on equipment.
Over 90% of fiber in the ground in north america is dark fiber.
Lack of fiber is a lie.
With SONET and DWDM almost all the latency issues would go away.
SONET = Synchronous Optical Network
SONET already carries almost all of the voice trunks now that are controlled by the nation's SS7 network.
ATM is Asynchronous but cheap , so the keep trying to develop it based on an accouting decisions.
When the accoutnants start telling the engineers how to engineer what is right based on money ALONE , it often spells a substandard solution.
SONET needs to be the way to make the networks work worldwide, and Asynchronous technology needs to be phased out as time permits.
The intermittent stuttering of Voip would end if they would stop using using ATM ( Asynchronous Transfer Mode )
Asynchronous Transfer means packets arrive out of order.
SONET on the other hand is a Synchronous Optical Network.
Use SONET, QoS and IPv6 and this is the foundation of making it work right.
SONET is what the majority of the voice trunks ride on now anyways.
But what alot of ppl do not know is that it also carries alot of the DATA out there instead of ATM.
Sprint has provided ATM data services at a much lower rate than other ppl charge for SONET services , but there is a reason.
Cheap is not always good.
This country, and in fact the world has left the engineering of alot of things to the accoutants and the the bottom line has become the foundation of their problems.
Use SONET for Voip and this problem will be able to be engineered out of the picture.
They should go in there and restore the land as it was before they ruined it, they should cover all medical costs of the victims and bypass the Indian government except for perhaps the cleanup effort.
The corporations of the world are living under one set of law, and the ppl are an under class beneath it, this has to stop.
As for nothing like this going on in the US, go rent Erin Brokovich.
As a female lawyer she fought corrupt corporations in the US, and they did all they could to scare her and threaten her right here on US soil.
Not the same number of ppl died, but never the less alot of ppl were dying and entire towns were affected by it.
Corporations need to be placed as a service/tool beneath the rights of human beings, and their trampling of human rights world wide needs to come to end for all time.
Corporations need a business model, not a get out of jail free card.
He thinks its bad in college, wait til he gets out in the real world and "they" realize he is a work horse, and that is how they will treat him.
The ol' Sled Dog routine as I call it.
Anyone that thinks they can off load some job on him will try it direct and if that does not work they go suck up to your boss and get him to pan it off on you.
I used to have the work hard ethic while in corporate america, but put it on hold eventually in companies where this pass the buck routine was rampant.
Now that I own my own business, I can work hard, and only I am gonna dump work on myself, and at least I get credit for it.
Good Luck to all college students about to enter the work force.
Consulting or Incorporation is the way to go , get your tax deductions up front, and shelter your income.
Very true, I worked at the refinery in Ponca City Oklahoma on a large PC rollout of Win2k back in 2001 and they have been doing high temperature processes with VERY dangerous compounds and there have been accidents . But over the many years they have gotten very good at it, and use a great deal of sensors and automatic control systems to manage it all.
The have a emergency control center that monitors the whole operation by computer 24x7x365 , and it is manned full time.
They deal with things much more dangerous, like hydrogen sulfide gas, and things even more dangerous than it.
US Health Care has become less about care, and more about cash.
The HMO/PPO has rules and regs the Docs have to follow and like another poster has said make the patient the adversary of the Doctor.
When money becomes more important than lives, its time for a reality check.
The Government screws up about everything it tries to run, but is good at regulating it, example the power grid, til deregulation came around, and it went downhill fast.
Power Companies left to their own devices sent the power grid into a state of crap.
The medical field needs brutal, unrelenting, pervasive regulation and investigation . HMO's and PPO's found to be blocking or subverting this for cash would be charged with reckless endangerment of life and grilled on national TV like a cheese melt.
But trying to have the government run a national health care system will end up like alot of the other government run entities.
A huge bureaucratic kluge.
I also think it would be viable for a Medical Coop, a ppl run cooperative health care system for the poor that doctors can donate their time to for big tax breaks as charity.
Medical Coop for the poor and uninsured, and the insured get corporate with government regulation on par with the best we can do.
Like ppl have said alot of ppl got into tech because of the money not because they were good at it.
The same thing is going on with medicine, and the pill companies are pushing their products as the best choice.
Companies that own hospitals will not do a biopsy without a definitive diagnosis because policy has changed and has more about profit than about helping ppl.
The underlying problem here ???..... Greed
Greed is subverting the true artisans, and railroading compassion in the medical field.
It is doing it in other fields as well.
Hopefully someone will help Patrick, and whether or not Pat is a doctor, the power of google cannot be questioned.
There is a tremendous amount of information on the internet.
When one symptom is present I'd question it, when like Pat himself says he fits the laundry list of symptoms its time to at least consider and do some tests.
The senoir medical community has warned of super bacteria and virii that are highly resistant to treatment.
Our friend Pat might just be one of the unfortunate early cases.
May god or whomever you believe in bring help to him.
Ohhh when I read this I just died laughing remembering the deployment for conoco where the damn Windows 2000 rollout could not see some of the Intel NIC's by default.
I mean really, M$ not considering all Intel NIC's for default drivers, how stupid can you get.

Now that I own my own business, I can work hard, and only I am
gonna dump work on myself, and at least I get credit for it
Good Luck to all college students about to enter the work force
Consulting or Incorporation is the way to go , get your
tax deductions up front, and shelter your income

We are all already tracked by SSN and our .

drivers licenses and any bills in our names
If you check out any bounty hunting software
these are some of the gravy tracking points
Anyone that wants to track you can do so with
little effort

Very true, I worked at the refinery in Ponca City Oklahoma on a .
.
.
.
large PC rollout of Win2k back in 2001 and they have been doing
high temperature processes with VERY dangerous compounds and there
have been accidents . But over the many years they have gotten
very good at it, and use a great deal of sensors and automatic
control systems to manage it all
The have a emergency control center that monitors the whole
operation by computer 24x7x365 , and it is manned full time
They deal with things much more dangerous, like hydrogen sulfide gas,
and things even more dangerous than it
Call it a 100 year learning curve, hehehe

The oilfield uses cryogenic towers to break out different gases .
.
.
.
.
.
.
at different temperatures from natural gas
The same thing could be done with hydrogen and oxygen, oxygen will
liquify at 100 degrees F. warmer temperature than hydrogen
The oilfield has found this to be the most efficient way to break
out Butane, Pentane, Propane, Hexane, etc etc
Hydrogen remains a gas til around -420 to -430 F.
Oxygen is around - 300 F
Lower temp to liquify the oxygen, and move off the gaseous
Hydrogen
In fact one idea of oilfield is to use natural gas to pipe to
gas stations, and use a fracturing device to make hydrogen right
at each gas station
The designers of the Hyper Car RMI.org details this in their
hydrogen research

I think Bubble fusion is the best hope of making fusion .

feasible for the entire planet
Toroid mag-coil hot plasma fusion is just too costly

The CRX got 67 mpg on the highway .
pretty crappy troll gutless wonder .
US Health Care has become less about care, and more about cash .
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
The HMO/PPO has rules and regs the Docs have to follow and like
another poster has said make the patient the adversary of the
Doctor
When money becomes more important than lives, its time for a
reality check
The Government screws up about everything it tries to run, but is
good at regulating it, example the power grid, til deregulation
came around, and it went downhill fast
Power Companies left to their own devices sent the power grid
into a state of crap
The medical field needs brutal, unrelenting, pervasive regulation
and investigation . HMO's and PPO's found to be blocking or
subverting this for cash would be charged with reckless
endangerment of life and grilled on national TV like a cheese melt.
But trying to have the government run a national health care system
will end up like alot of the other government run entities
A huge bureaucratic kluge
I also think it would be viable for a Medical Coop, a ppl run
cooperative health care system for the poor that doctors can donate
their time to for big tax breaks as charity
Medical Coop for the poor and uninsured, and the insured get
corporate with government regulation on par with the best we can do.

Like ppl have said alot of ppl got into tech because of the money .
.

..... Greed
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
not because they were good at it
The same thing is going on with medicine, and the pill companies
are pushing their products as the best choice
Companies that own hospitals will not do a biopsy without a
definitive diagnosis because policy has changed and has
more about profit than about helping ppl
The underlying problem here ???
Greed is subverting the true artisans, and railroading compassion
in the medical field
It is doing it in other fields as well
Hopefully someone will help Patrick, and whether or not Pat is a
doctor, the power of google cannot be questioned.
There is a tremendous amount of information on the internet
When one symptom is present I'd question it, when like Pat
himself says he fits the laundry list of symptoms its time to
at least consider and do some tests
The senoir medical community has warned of super bacteria and
virii that are highly resistant to treatment
Our friend Pat might just be one of the unfortunate early cases
May god or whomever you believe in bring help to him

This was my question as well, they are so big on signed drivers, .
.
.
.
.
and certificates, and they cannot tell patch version from OS version
Sounds a little short sighted to me
I have seen lots of software detect OS version and declare it
incompatible, I think they could have done like wise
Granted EDS should know what they are doing, but M$ should not
ASSuME ppl will know what they are doing and put in at least a cursory
safety measure
When you ASSuME you make an ASS out of U and ME

Ohhh when I read this I just died laughing remembering the .

I mean really, M$ not considering all Intel NIC's for default
drivers, how stupid can you get
