Kyoto has nothing to do with the environment. Even the best estimates if it worked have it lowering our mean planet temperature of a couple hudredths of a degree over the next few centuries.
Kyoto is all about redistributing wealth to other countries. Bush was right to reject it.
I never said hydrogen is useless, I said it isn't "green energy". It's a means of storing energy. If hydrogen is "green" then alkaline or lead acid batteries are "green".
I'm not lambasting Iceland, I'm saying that their solution doesn't scale for the rest of us.
I was annoyed by the articles opening line about hydrogen being some magical abundant fuel that has absolutely no strings or drawbacks. It's not. It's only a small part of a solution to a very complex problem.
I could heat my house off the grid if I had a hot spring in my backyard, I don't.
Well, part of the theory is that the hydrogen engine should be twice as efficient as a gasoline/diesel one, so it makes up for the inefficiency in creating the hydrogen.
I hate the term "green power", article full of shi

Hydrogen Buses In Iceland
·
· Score: 1, Insightful
Hydrogen, tested in buses from Amsterdam to Vancouver and used in the rockets of the U.S. space shuttle, is a clean power that promises to break dependence on oil and gas -- at least in Iceland.
Except that hydrogen isn't found, or mined, it's created. Either from fossil fuels or by electrolyzing water, which requires electricity, which comes from fossil fuels.
How are they generating the hydrogen?
It's easy for iceland to claim 70% "green" because geothermal heating is a real option for them. The air is cold, the earth is hot. It doesn't work for most of the rest of the world. There's nothing for me to dig into but cold muck and the chesapeake watershed.
It would also stop a crackhead from grabbing a cops peace and killing him during a routine traffic stop. (And this is a more common scenario than the cop using the bad guys gun) At any rate, if the cop has the bad guys gun, at least the bad guy doesn't have it. Cops have their own guns.
It's not ignorance of the law, it's ignorance of what's trade secret and what isn't.
The law explicitly says you're in the wrong if you knowingly pass along trade secrets. Who's to say what you knew and what you didnt?
If someone told me in casual conversation, "hey I hear Apple is gonna sell a cheap headless box", I wouldn't think anything of it, or perhaps posting it on the 'net.
So the only way to be safe is to assume everything is "trade secret", and just never discuss the doings and goings-on at the corporations that dominate our social landscape? Talk about a chill effect. WTG Apple.
So far as I see, he never signed any NDAs with Apple, or has had no direct affiliation with them.
He provided a forum in which someone else could violate an NDA.
I don't see how they can have a case against them, even under the current law. The law says if you know something is a trade secret, and dissiminate it, you're in trouble. How can Apple prove to a court that a 13-18 year old kid knows which are trade secrets, and which are gossip? Hell, he was a minor for most of the time, they could probably just say he had no way to even know what a trade secret was.
The fact that if someone sees them fucking around with their vehicle is likely to get them shot?
I don't know. If it's alright to install GPS tracking devices, what else are they allowed to do? Let the air out of my tires? Poke a hole in my gastank?
Are the police really allowed to fuck with my car without a warrant or my knowledge?
I could care less about the GPS and tracking him. What if in installing their little bugs they nick a brake or fuel line, and someone winds up dead?
Note to cops: If I see anyone fucking around under the hood of my car in the middle of the night, I WILL shoot first, and ask questions later, and I will be completely within my rights to do so.
Well if your job is to solve problems, why can't you solve this one?
A cheap 14" LCD panel and a mini usb keyboard with pointer built into it. There you go. Get some VGA and USB extension cables and leave them in the server so you don't have to crawl around behind it to plug them in.
It ain't like rocket science, and it's much cheaper than all the esoteric KVM over IP type of shit everyone else is selling.
Synergy redirects your keyboard and mouse to another machine, plug the laptop in using IP over firewire or an extra nic on the servers, a little zeroconf magic, and baddabing.
Trouble is, synergy is a little flaky. It's not happy when it's disconnected, and usually segfaults if you just pull the plug or break the connection in any way.
Since you want video too, I'd see some sort of VNC or RDP as your only real option.
I have seen LCD monitors with a small keyboard and pointing device built in, all in one luggable unit. You just plug in the VGA and USB for keyboard/mouse and away you go. (Or you could hotglue a small keyboard to a cheap 14" LCD)
And a few Ben Dover AnTakeIt's, some Seymour Buttz'. Amanda Hugandkiss is there. It's nice to see that Phil McCracken and Hugh Jass are invloved. What of Jenny Talia?
Are NASA this stupid or what? I'd be pissed if I was one of the guys who signed up thinking my name was going to be part of a serious scientific venture.
If you order a mini mac then that's you, voting with your wallet, to support Apple and this lawsuit.
For a long while I always said I'd look to get a mac if they were marketed at an affordable price. Now that they have one, I won't even waste the time to look at it.
People leak news about Longhorn and other in-development MSFT products all the time, why aren't they suing webmasters? They're supposed to be the big litigation assholes, after all.
"Microsoft" is a trademark. You are required to vigorously defend trademarks, or else you lose the right to use them. MSFT had no choice but to go after him.
Of course, slashdot stopped covering it when it settled. MSFT paid the kid for the domain name, and agreed to redirect all the traffic to the old site to his new one (MikeRoweForums.com IIRC).
In the end, everyone was happy, and MSFT weren't such a bunch of assholes after all (which of course, is not a happy ending for slashdot, which is why it wasn't covered).
All this kid did was run a website on which someone else supplied information about an Apple product. Apple will sue and win, and help set a new precedent in which forum moderators are responsible for what their users say. That won't be covered on slashdot either.
But, if a little birdy ever tells me about an upcoming Apple product, I'll be sure to crapflood slashdot with it, so Malda can feel the mighty cock of his beloved Apple shoved straight up his ass. I wonder if that will stop the constant iPod astroturfing?
Slashdot Mirror
Iceland has no oil, it's all imported, and thus very expensive. It's not like they switched away from it, they never had it.
It also has a population of just under 300,000. Which isn't that big.
3 ethernets is an odd request?
Isn't the "Internet, LAN, and DMZ" paradigm pretty common for routers/gateways?

So what the heck is your problem?
Well, that's good for them, but it still doesn't do much for the rest of us.

A modern vehicle is much more complicated than a Model T Ford, yet, they're much more reliable.
This particular tech isn't ready for prime time, but one day it could be.
It's nothing to do with privacy, the judge looked at the emails and said "nope, not slander. NO SUE FOR YOU".
It would also stop a crackhead from grabbing a cops peace and killing him during a routine traffic stop. (And this is a more common scenario than the cop using the bad guys gun) At any rate, if the cop has the bad guys gun, at least the bad guy doesn't have it. Cops have their own guns.
It cuts both ways, you see.

For shooting a trespasser? Not in my state, bub.
"Your honor, all I saw was a shadow, and a firearm hanging from it's side. Why would I think it was a cop? He presented no ID or warrant"
There's precedent, btw. Cops have been shot snooping around in people's backyards.
The fact that if someone sees them fucking around with their vehicle is likely to get them shot?

If the mosquito was made of solid copper, it'd put a ding in it.
If the 767 was made of ice, it'd be an even bigger ding.
Now if we were the size of a bacteria, the ding would look like a good sized crater to us.
There are plenty of Ben Dovers too.
And a few Ben Dover AnTakeIt's, some Seymour Buttz'. Amanda Hugandkiss is there. It's nice to see that Phil McCracken and Hugh Jass are invloved. What of Jenny Talia?
Are NASA this stupid or what? I'd be pissed if I was one of the guys who signed up thinking my name was going to be part of a serious scientific venture.
My god, it's full of stars!
Oh no wait, it's just a rock.. You were right.
It's OK now, according to NASA, it deployed it's solar panels and oriented itself like it was supposed to.
They're saying it was most likely a non-critical glitch with a temperature sensor that kicked in the failsafe.
The names are unrelated. This project was in development and was dubbed Deep Impact long before the movie started filming.

Let me see. Prestigious private university. Has been using Apple products since he was 13.
I smell a rich Daddy. Daddy will pay for the lawyer to get him out of this little broo-ha-ha with Apple.
I don't think his troubles are financial, or he would have stopped long ago. It's easy to be a brave on someone elses dime.
