    no part (including the engine) to heavy to lift with 1 person.

  8. A lan has value on Florida Ponders Communication Tax on LANs · · Score: 0

    beyond the value of its component parts. It is a value added construct, the sum total of the combination of sysadmins, linelayers and equipment. They are taxable, the reason it hasent been taxed is that government is glacialy slow to pick up on new things but government is required by state constitiutions (at least in my state and many others) to tax anything that has value. If you would rather not tax lans and have the money raised by homestead taxes that's fine. Anyway by the time Florida figures out how to tax lans they will evolve into something else. IAAA (i am a assessor)

  11. Re:Don't forget your 60Hz and the phase! on Off Grid Via Slow Moving River? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Rotery inverters are really cheap basically just a dc motor running an ac generator, you get around a 20% power loss due to inefficiancy but with waterpower you have no costs anyway.

  12. The Romans on Off Grid Via Slow Moving River? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    did something similar, they had a line of floating grain mills across the Tiber (no ice there though) in the late empire period. Find a good high current area and build a paddlewheel boat basically with the drive attached to a generator and use anchors in the riverbed. It might not generate a steady high elec current so you might want to put in a bank of batteries and converter for peak demand. Since the paddlewheel is in the back the boat draft would break up at least thin ice. With underwater turbines your talking alot of cost both in construction and maintainance. Hers another option http://www.hydrogenappliances.com/hydromauro.html

  13. Legal? on Use Multiple Channels for Faster Wireless Networking · · Score: 1

    As all rf transmission systems are highly regulated and this must have an fcc licsence, does the liscence cover this kind of usage?

  17. Scariest thing I have every read on Omniscience Protocol · · Score: 4, Funny

    This is the scariest thing I have every read. Basically what is being said is that since you the consumer have abused your freedom (in the implied words of Hatch et.al) you now loose that freedom and will be punished at the will and whim of the Corporate (tm). In the minds (and I use that term loosely) of these people the freedoms that we have enjoyed as a people were never really ours but were theirs to dole out as they saw fit, to their benefit to their profit. The veil has been lifted and we now see the true face of our would be oppressors.

    FTA: "Gregory Blepp, vice-president of licensing at SCO in the US, said he was working to create legal conditions which require Linux users in Germany to purchase SCO's intellectual property licenses" Blepp dude come to our universe its not that bad. (i a n a l)

  22. Mugging on iPod: This Season's Must-Have for Muggers · · Score: 4, Funny

    Well people will kill each other over sneakers so to mug for an Ipod doesn't surprise me. From the article: "The Sun quotes one iPod representative as saying: "There are guys who?d rather be robbed than change the color of the headphones." " = Darwin strikes again.

  24. Creativity? on Creativity, a Problem for the Gaming Industry? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    No, its guts. Guts to try new things to break away from what is known in games, to produce the kind of games that new customers really want. The market is what you make it.

  25. which on Six Barriers to Open Source Adoption · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The number 1 reason: Non OS standards which Microsoft appears to be creating for the sole purpose of locking in the masses to their product line (IMO), until OSource finds away to deal with MS leveraging their hold on standards (which are fairly open right now) OSource is going to have a hard time, because MS is calling the shots right now.
