These lights are in heavy use in Northern Virginia. They are mostly in place around residential neighborhoods to keep speeds and road noise down. They also double as extra safety, as kids are around.
It's a lot easier to time crossing an intersection if you know that all the cars are going one speed or slower. This is true wether you are walking across it or making a turn in a car at said intersection.
The biggest concern are Kids. They are careless. They may look left then right, but if they see a car FAR off to the left, they won't pay any attention to it...even if it is going 90mph and will overtake them before they can cross the road.
I'll write this spelling error up as trying to aid an informative discussion on slashdot and provoke thought, while having my boss look over my shoulder from his office directly behind me.
As one of my responsibilities I admin and camp the spam filter at work. We get a few thousand emails a day into a company of 80.
Much of this spam has had to resort to making their emails unintelligible to try and bypass spam filters.
Others like Aphroditie Marketing have atleast 2 class C licences with full dns for each address that they send email out from. I've had to firewall off entire class C's to block their emails!
C'Mon...who is going to read email with a subject line like: "Order Meds V@1|um - XA:n:az ; V|@grA & %RND_MED_VIC+0DIN $.Soma. $ Pnte:r:min LV0J2" anyways?
At some point of obfuscation it has to just become a giant waste of time to try and send the email out.
For those who don't do PPT or PDF.. I threw this through google http://216.239.39.100/search?q=cache:YV5cbDGeKscC: www.cs.princeton.edu/~sudhakar/papers/memerr.pdf&h l=en&ie=UTF-8 I think that is the same presentation. It renders like crap, but you can atleast read it...
Secure...reliable...I still don't trust all the misc info that is dumped to disk at install time. 400+ printer def's, and misc. etc... MS seems to be throwing hundreds of small.exe's into their system to make it easier for tasks to be done, but correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it harder to keep a system secure if you keep adding application after application to a base install? More apps, more code...more room for something to go wrong...
What would be the effects a few hundred miles away?
I could just imagine they would be completely inpredictable and based on the current condition of any weather streams that run that region. I just think back to 1996 with the hurricane gone tropical depression in the Gulf of Mexico, result...6 to 8+ ft of snow on the northern east coast. Stopped most everything for 2 weeks around here.
The snow was fine, but that first freeze/thaw took the bottom few inches to ice. You can't plow 2-3in of ice.
Drive Me Insane I saw this link in someone's sig this week...
A rather cool site that has been setup so you can control a good number of devices and cams in this guy's home. Even his lawn sprinkler. He has had a remote control car with a video cam on it and soforth that you can drive around his house. Definately a must see.
Exactly...I was thinking, that if I actually upgraded...why not go all the way and grab some of the seagate barracuda IV's with the nice liquid bearings =)
Whenever serial ATA decides to make it into most stores, I want to buy as many sATA enabled barracuda's I can afford and raid them together and just dump all of my data to them. Put a nice journaling fs on them and be fsck free. My actual computers wouldn't need more than a boot drive. If I really had money I didn't need...why not make that mostly some form of ram =)
I run a dual pIII 700 system with a gf3 ti200 their test system is over twice as fast and has a much newer graphics card. My guess is that they didn't change the "com_maxfps" variable from the default of 85 to something a tad higher. I tend to average around 150 fps in q3 at 1024 in 32bit with most everything turned on. In hallways I peak over 300 (i set com_maxfps to 350 =)...no, I can't make the framejump with this setup)
...current setup with these. I've got a few boxen under the desk now, some old, well..all old, but as far as realestate goes, I could put 3-4 of these on a shelf under a small table and actually save some space. Slapp a diff OS on each of them and have a nice small network of boxen to experiment with.

So now that IBM has bought them...is it still considered outsourcing?
I have noticed that all of these laptops feature "mobile" versions of the graphics cards. These cards all utilize shared memory as well.
Is there a reason that the cards don't come with their own separate memory?
S&GN!

My point is that no one with half a brain is going to give that email more than a glance before deleting it.
Why would a spammer waste resources sending out emails that are most obviously spam.
It's like they are doing it just to do it now.
Spam used to have a point...but now?

I'm trying to sort out the advantages/disadvantages of using NFS vs Samba-3.
From my understanding, NFS brings with it native file permissions on the remote machine, where Samba's permssions come from a config file.
I haven't done much research into Samba-3, but with past versions, this was the case.
MS has software available to patch vast numbers of machines from a central server.

How do bank atm lines work anyways? Are they over phone or satelite? Has anyone ever managed to break into them remotely?
