Screw that, I'm not going to have a harder time next hurricane season because this jackass wants to protect the interests of private companies. One of the benefits of living in a modern rich-as-hell country is having public programs like this.
My last home got destroyed by hurricane Charley. I have NOAA/NWS to thank for giving me the data I needed to make a decision to take what was important and LEAVE. I got to study (and freak out over) model-generated charts, tables of probabilities, storm surge/pressure data from off-shore buoys and a host of other stuff. The Weather Channel had static pics that... didn't even include us in the warnings. They were focused on its conical path, yet the storm turned and hit us directly. Even then, their data is momentary and fleeting because of the methods of TV. Their web site has some more info but it can't compare with what I got w/ NWS
This prick wants to make me have a harder time next year? For the gain of WHO ?
VIA makes _broken_ implementations - and their Windows drivers hide that fact. Ask any MythTV user with a Hauppage PCI card (a card that actually saturates the bus with data, and oh-gee it makes the bus run 100%) how they feel about VIA. VIA chipsets classicly hardlock under these loads.
Anything VIA is shit under load. King dogs they are not..

I thought Linux implemented Linux from certain specifications. 'Reverse engineered' is not the term for that. The data was documented publicly, why you'd do it the hard way I don't know.
I've realized in my 25 years here that the larger cities are what everyone sees in the movies and tv, and come to believe FL is like.
What they don't see is the trailer parks full of old people, the unwashed masses in the middle of the state (heh). Rednecks everywhere.. with their stupid-ass oversized trucks.
RANU: Smarter CPL and MSC check that out.. you can put those in batch files or what have you to launch processes w/privs, using the secondary logon service.
tunguska was thought to be an in-air explosion versus impact.. which have very different (borrowing the term, heh) splash damage if you will:)
I still think tunguska was Tesla, testing his laser/electricity weapons. but i'm just one of a few.
(there has been none, zero, nada bit of any foreign evidence ever found at the the center of the Tunguska site. core samples have been taken on 3 seperate expeditions, with worldwide effort being allowed for some of the most recent ones. so it is open to debate. but there is no evidence of anything but an explosion.)
heh. GPS on your ammonia tanks.. at least they'll have something to hand the cops when they report the tank stolen

younger friend of mine made counterfit $5's back in the mid 90s. perfect place to pass them off? high school cafeterias.. those ladies are blind and old already;)
we got away with it for a few months.. until the secret service came and got his ass. it was funny, he did that and this other kid trashed a public bathroom (unrelated) and the counterfeiter kid got in less trouble. gotta love how the system works for juveniles.
same reasons I'll never buy ATI. Hell, the drivers suck even on Windows.
Nvidia has their own share of problems, but at least their drivers are released every few months. A lot of reading is required to set them up right and there are bugs (X hw cursor problems with the 5x00 series) but they're annoyances and not debilitating.
NVIDIA gets my purchases time and time again because there are no other affordable dual DVI cards out there that run decently on Linux
sadly, this is one department Linux reallllly lacks in.
as of around 7pm, Frances has weakened a tad to 960mb - Andrew's devestation was high 800s and Charley was low 900s.. so it is weakening. I live on the other side of the state, where we just got hit by Charley and i'm soooo glad there's 300 miles of land in between me and this evil hellstorm.
I feel for everyone over there.. get your shit out take your pets and hard drives and just fuckin go! this is a big one!@! riding one of these out is not for the weakhearted. i've been through tons of hurricanes in my 25 years here and Charley actually got my heart going.. i was on the 3rd floor of a bldg next to mine but connected, looking at the roof of my office.. and when i saw the roof starting to go I said "ok, im goin for it! gonna get my pc out of there" and fuckin ran for it.. ran down stairs, up stairs busted through the office door and i just stopped cold- bright light poured in from every window. i couldnt believe it. i looked, noticed how odd/calm it was and went outside.. the fuckin eye was over us. i could see the blue skies above.. what a sight.
it was the best cig break i've ever had. i took a few pics.
it was worth the ride i suppose. i'm still livin here but in a new house, heh
All 3 of the orbiters are up in maintenance in the main 500foot hangar that you always see. There has not and isn't now enough time to get them down and transport them to White Plains- or anywhere. The orbiters are up for upgrades i believe due to the shuttle safety issue. Blame whomever you want for that one- klugy engineers or beurocracy:D
it's sad, but just like the rest of the state- there are applied risks to living in paradise. Eventually, a storm comes to rip your f'in roof off, like Charley did to my condo.
NASA is here because it's easier to punch through the the atmosphere near the equator and because they can launch their goodies over the ocean instead of land. It used to be lots of fun to watch shuttle launches from the beach after a long night of drinkin/smokin herb.

Wonder where people like Trident(CIA?) and Beastie(ACID) are these days... Trident ran Muerte, Beastie ran Channel Zer0 out of Texas.
Thank you for your indepth coverage of our own tempest in a teacup.
I looked forward to every release back then- it always amazed to see what level of detail could be worked out of such with such a tiny charset.
I should buy your dvd!
ok, now that i pick apart the legalese I see the provisions for dangerous storms.. but still, what a load of shit.

For a while, there was a market for DRAM with bad spots for use in telephone answering machines.
I've noticed this for *years* and wondered why every digital answering machine seemed to decay in quality very fast.
Now it's obvious...
(a lot of these digital answering mahcines are of such low quality that it's damned impossible to hear anything recorded!)

but remember, it all still sucks if the map designers continue to use freakin' crates everywhere :)
