Dont forget to email to all the board manufacturers
that the use of a Phoenix/MS Bios will make the board the
least-bought board by everyone EXCEPT those companies in bed-in a formal business alliance- with MS.
Well, you guys talked about all things except the
solar appliances. OK.
Solar produces DC. All our appliances are designed
to run on 120 VAC. The converters represent a loss
of 10% ( ?? ) and the production of energy is down
by that much.
What about tooling appliance production to DC?
The industrial costs would be staggering, the
motors and stuff would have to be redesigned....
The software 'out there' is mostly ( because a
couple of programs are the exception ) the result of
a combination of 'code Cra--ing' and
manager/customer 'add-ons'.
Design. Good, solid design.
Not the case when joe/jill programmer has a bright
idea and sits down and codes.......
( 'Code Cra--er')
Not the case when a software project is started
and the manager/customer comes in after
preliminary acceptance with
'just a little modification'
or 'just one more good little feature'
('manager/customer add-ons' -- customer-creep)
The time-restraints, the budgeting requirements,
and the race to the market dont consider
that the cost of 'first-to-market' may include
the extreme cost of 'service-packs', 'patches',
and 'vulnerabilities'. Even the best software
engineers ( their opinion-Micro$--- ) dont have
time to properly design a product, before the product lifetime is past.
Rats-running ever faster-too much change-and
not enough lifetime......
I was a scientist/engineer during Reagan....
Star Wars, missles, lasers, and jobs.
Then the Iron curtain fell, and the decline of
funding put scientists and engineers into Burger
King. I turned to teaching.
I finally tired of brats, then went into CS, in
1997. Guess what happened to me then, in 2000 ?
I think I'll go into politics ( I have an opinion, which is all that is required ),
acting ( I have the classes and experience, just
no SAG card ), or become the CEO of an OS/Office products company..... just to see if the trend continues.....
Well, there is always the one-time-pad, which is theoretically unbreakable.........
but then there's the security of the one-time-pad.........
snail-mail for security, anyone?

make your own, a little fiberglass, wire screen or aluminum foil, and a calculator to calculate the parabola shape in 3-D....
