  1. Re:Best part of the article on Nanowires of Unlimited Length · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Yeah the nano wires of quantum dots sounds very interesting. In my introduction to Nanotech course at school I did a presentation on qunatum dot cellular automata. Essentially they design logic circuits out of precisely laid out circuits of quantum dots. The technology is proof of concept and was awaiting improvements in production technologies . Maybe this will indeed be the key to unlocking 10-20ghz processors (They don't have the same leaky qualities when as densely packed as chips built with MOSFETT. They use electron interactions as a means of propagating signals as opposed to actual current flow) .. Anyhow here is a link to the university doing the research on QCA's for those of you interested... HERE -Ian Roessle

    What about Bio-diesel produced from Algae sources?? -Ian

  3. Re:Rsync Backup on Backing Up Laptops In a Small Business? · · Score: 1

    I guess i should have mentioned that the script/batch file needs to be setup with the appropriate cron (mac/*nix) /scheduler (windows).. -Ian

  4. Rsync Backup on Backing Up Laptops In a Small Business? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I use Rsync on an hourly schedule.. with the -e option of rsync.. you can used a shared key to automatically do the the ssh negotiation.. (so your not prompted) works great..
    cygwin installed for the windows laptops laptops..
    the mac laptops already have rsync


    you then need to put your rsync command into a script/batch file:

    IE:

    #!/bin/sh
    rsync -avz -e "ssh -i /home/root/rsync_keys/mirror-rsync-key" /home/ root@myserver.com:/home/boldy_going/

    the second half of this is to do a nightly tar ball of this on the server.. if you want to get fancier with your scripting you could probably save some space with a tarball of only the modified/created files for the day... ----

    All the best

  5. Quantum Dot Cellular Automata on Simple Computation Using Dominos · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This kinda reminds me of Quantum Dot Cellular Automata. multivalence compounds are arranged like dominos and one of the "electrons" at one of the ends is shifted to represent the zero or one state and then the electron repulsion forces in the molecules propegate down the chain like dominos acting like adders whathave you. http://www.nd.edu/~qcahome/ -ian

  6. Quantum Dots on Intel Experimenting With Nanotubes · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Hey this is all really interesting stuff ...I think getting Intel behind some of the manufacturing technicalities is a major boon to the industry. Nanotubes, if intel's research confirms this, should prove to be useful in many different applications from mass power distribution to an elevator to the heavens.. who knows .. stay tunes.. also as an interesting side note.. VLSI will hit a rock bottom soon... I did a presentation in my Nanotechnology class last Spring on Quantum Dot Cellular Automata . This uses the electromagnetic repulsion of electons to propegate signals across molecules that are arranged in such a way to form logic gates.. http://www.nd.edu/~qcahome/ -Ian ian at ianroessle.org

  7. Two Essential Progs on What's On Your Thumbdrive? · · Score: 1

    Hey everyone. Well as far as "tools" go on the "thumbdrive" I carry.... PCTOOLS' Registry mechanic and Spyware Doctor for most of my repair situations.. Other than that another MUST is an HTTP Tunnel http://www.nocrew.org/software/httptunnel.html . At my former school they had this draconian firewall that only permitted HTTP traffic through a proxy on port 80. I setup a box with a HTTP Tunnel server on port 80 that redirected the traffic to a SOCKS proxy to break out of it. The motorola phone tools suite to setup a my phone as a dialup broadband connection. Everything else I download over the internet when I need it. Best all.. Googlebear

  8. Mo Money on Windows Servers Beat Linux Servers · · Score: 1

    Yeah the WIndows servers are beating out the linux competitors because generally speaking people running windows servers have (more) money.... and thus can afford fatter and more reliable pipes.... Just my two cents. -Ian

  9. CD-ROMS on Building A Museum Listening Station? · · Score: 1

    Get a bunch of old CD-ROMS , the kind that has the play button on the face plate. Get them all powered off of a computer power supply and use the 1/8in phono output on the front display as output. It is fairly easy (as in big solder points) to add your own big red button to the already existing infrastructure. You don't need a computer or sound cards. Cost is nominal. best of luck

  10. possible resolve on Another Millionaire Spammer Story · · Score: 1

    Seems like his biggest exploit is using public bandwidth for his own exploit. If we went to a model where internet expenses were a function of how much routing resources you used, he would be paying it out the ears running his operations from China. my 2 cents
