Did anyone else notice that this "new" chart is just the old one rolled up, then flattened? It's not such a great chart... Most of the information is lost in the tiny circles. A standard periodic table is far more useful...
I'm sorry, I've let my website fall into disrepair; I haven't had time to maintain it. In any case, the filemanagement system is no longer on there, but yes, it is completely PHP based (whose engine is opensource, in addition to the fact that my file management script is also GPL'ed by myself). When I have enough time, I will eventually put the file management script back, and probably offer most of the scripts for download.
Wine worked through install and login with 20041019, but all it did was give me a window with a lot of corrupt pictures. In other words, it almost works...
That's odd... I can get to localhost:631 on OSX, but none of the passwords that I know of (is there a root account on OSX?) work properly. So yes, of course I can VIEW the printers, but I can't add them, change them, or otherwise adminster them at all. Kinda like Ubuntu... grr...
emerge beats everything hands down. I've installed Ubuntu, and although I'm (still) completely in love with the incredibly fast installs in comparison, no matter how much I poked and prodded, it just didn't have the polished feeling, nor the completeness of archives.
Before you declare me a gentoo fanboy, know this: I've installed Ubuntu a whole bunchload of times. I loved apt-get and it's speed. But nothing ever worked as well as they did in gentoo. Mplayer had huge ugly fonts. I know there's a setting, but why couldn't ubuntu just configure it like gentoo? And the marillat seems to be always broken... And why can't I just configure CUPS using the good old localhost:631 method? Ubuntu hides so much things that it reminds me of Mac... without the prettiness. Which is completely pointless. After so much fiddling around, I left my system on overnight and compiled a stage 3 gnome system, and was done with it.
I don't know why everyone keeps making fun of gentoo with 4 ghz computers and all the like. I routinely compile complete gnome 2.10 systems with centrino 1.5 ghz, no more than 512 mb ram. This only takes a single overnight, even though I do a gcc-3.4 upgrade. It's also essentially intervention-less... I issue a single emerge, wake up the next morning, fiddle around with the much beloved config files, compile the kernel with my custom config file, install grub, and boot.
Another thing that peeves me about the anti-gentoo sentiment- those of you complaining that your emerge -u systems are breaking, perhaps you should remove the ~arch keyword in your make.conf! The only toolkit instability that I've come across is one where I emerged system with ~arch. Unmask programs as you need them with/etc/portage/packages.keyword (yes, I know, it's annoying). But this keeps your system rock solid while having the latest programs!
B = mu_0 i / (2 pi r)
Over R- the skull is very thick (aka, disperses sound waves), and magnetism must pentrate through all that distance. Also, considering that coils are about the best anyone CAN do with magnetic focusing, what do you suggest? A satellite dish? (sarcasm:-p)
Ok, so even if I assume that some technology actually allows you to focus sound energy into the skull, it's not going to do much there. Those NMDA receptors do not affect the majority of gated sodium and potassium channels, which actually induce the action potentials that make any difference at all. Now given another premise that somehow you were able to focus enough energy to induce action potentials within the outer layer of the cortext, THAT'S COMPLETELY USELESS STILL!!! First layer of the cortex has no living cells, they were used to form your brain during conception. Also, all sensory neurons attach into layer 4 of cortext, many many of cells down, all of which absorbing the massive amount of energy you're pumping into their head. Even worse, if you want to modify sensory information, you'll have to plunge your sound waves into the thalamus, near the CENTER of the brain before you're going to be able to modify sensory information. Obviously, by the time you pack enough energy into your wave to do that, you would have cracked the skull, and burned out most of the outlaying neurons, but I guess we're just making assumptions anyways?
Excessive Neural Activity, aka seizure. No one wants seizure in a box...
TMS has probably reached the limits of its usage as of right now. There is no way to penetrate more than a few centimeters into the skull. We can't even stimulate all of the cortext with it, let alone single cells. About the best TMS can do is create temporary "lesions" in the brain, to study what's inhibited when say, the entire dorsal parietal lobe is incapacitated.
Also, will someone PLEASE tell me how the HELL sony plans on converting their "ultrasound" into electrical energy in the brain? Because the last time I heard, only the ear recognizes mechanical vibrations of the air!
mmm... Right during the Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show... Doesn't a dog bark twice right after the "After these messages" arf arf "We'll be riiiight back"?
If you can get your laptop to suspend to ram, but waking up results in a dead screen, perhaps this program would help: http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~mjg59/laptops/video-post _0.1.orig.tar.gz
It does the video-post that most laptops don't do when coming back up, resulting in dead screen, but working CPU after an S3 suspend
Already being done- Blender is trying to make a distributed rendering project, currently name piovra at http://www.idstudio.it/piovra/. There was some discussion on the forums about creating a community network cluster to render each other's work, and piovra was the first step to such an idea.
An unpatched version of windows? There was a/. story about how it only takes 20 min for an unpatched system to get owned nowadays. Last time I installed SP2 on a 2.6 ghz machine, it took about 35 min. That's 15 min more than the average time it takes to acquire a virus. Chances are good it would be blaster, which means you'd never even finish the install before your machine is dead. All I can say is, thank god I had the full SP2 local-install!
How many Joe schmoes are going to know how to update to SP2 after they get a new computer? Chances are, SP1 will be loaded with the new computer, and a shitload of spyware will be on the computer as soon as he connects the broadband.
The problem being outlined is that OS's should be as secure as possible, because not everyone knows how to patch. Unfortunately, WinXP definitely DOES NOT fit that requirement, and until SP2 is the only version that can be installed anywhere, that will be a fact!
You're thinking of reactor designs from 20 years ago. The recent reactor designs involve coating the nuclear material with a layer of graphite, turning it into baseball-size chunks. These radiate, producing heat and very little radiation (trapped by the water and graphite), which heats a CONFINED water supply to drive a turbine. These reactor designs are essentially immune to Chernobyl type disasters, because even if all the cooling water were drained out, the balls of radiactive materials wouldn't heat up enough to melt through the core.
The annoying thing is, people are afraid of these things- they hear "nucular" and go nuts. They don't care that technology has improved, and a three mile island meltdown wouldn't occur with these things. The problem is people, not the radioactivity!
They don't price their products very low. They sell most electronics for MSRP. It's only the occaisonal sale that they'll give you a discount on a few items, but in all actuality, their prices aren't that low. I don't know why they have to force the PSP down everyone's throats, since they're making as much money as everyone else on the same products...
They had one of these screens on display at Disneyworld last year I went visiting, although it was an IBM model. Found at Epcot, the innovations booth. Incredible screen, the pictures look like they were painted on the screen, not the normal LCD look...

Um... if you want chitin, try the japanese beetle supply around here... We're getting plenty :-p
Go figure... Dual Opterons, 10k in donations, and a whole crapload of servers STILL don't stand up to a slashdotting... :-p

Drop a nice little mixture of aluminum and iron oxide on the drive, ignite it. Nothing will retrieve that data, not even electron microscopy.

Mmmm... radioactive diatoms.... Notice how nuclear reactors no longer have cooling towers?

Aren't ceramics supposed to be harder than glass? I guess the more regular the structure, the more brittle it is as well, at such thinness
LMFAO... if I had mod points, I'd give them to you! Nice assault on Bush :)
