Did the same to my main house server more than a year ago. My regular disk drives sleep, while the CF handle the bulk of the regular load. I have noticed that the system is MUCH cooler and quieter. In fact, for my shuttle shoebox system, I am about to take out the 80G HDD and put in a 32G CF and figure that it will not only be faster, but also cheaper on electricity and quieter (the fan HUMS when I am using it; that HDD adds heat).
read the code. They set a default (which is why it will work for none linux or even if OS does not ID as Linux), then go into branching. In the branching, they simply point Windows and Linux to other areas. Lets assume that it was accident as you suggest. Then why not fix the problem and release with next iteration of bios? Yet, they purposely fought that. This was a willful issue. It would be nice to see a couple of state AGs find them guilty and then disallow all foxconn products to be sold in their state. After that, I think that foxconn and all that play with MS will straighten up (esp if state was new york or CA).
Your posts seems to suggest that it was more of a default issue.
Any of the windows items would have worked.
They purposely pointed LINUX to something that would not work. This goes well from bad coding into willful failure.
I just wonder if it is criminal?
And if MS did pay them for this, how many other manufactures have been paid to do similar things? Normally, when MS pulls something like this, there is much more going on.
the solution is to take this to the attorney general and let them have a looksie. I would also suggest that it goes to a couple of the states that have a hard line with MS. Currently, the feds really do not care what MS does, so I will guess that they will look the other way (but it should still go to them).
Beyond that, yeah, we should start listing ALL the boards and products of Foxconn and quit buying them. Apple little system? Gone. HP's , etc. Quit buying thenm and then I think that foxconn will reconsider how good the deal with MS is.
Who says that they are not using camouflage? For all we know, we constantly surrounded by ships all time. In addition, they may have CHOSEN to reveal selves to see our reactions, or just to pick up test subjects. In light of supposed different treatments, I would guess that there are different species, iff aliens are real.
You can really see that this has little chance of being libel. THis is an outing of a series of crimes. Godwin and his buddies are going to do time before this is over.
This is not about embarassment. The top story shows that some top ppl within the police are criminals. The least crime was a cover-up, and aiding/abeting. It is probably a great deal more. As such, this site is about to cause either the state or possibly the feds to come in (not likely the feds with our current admin).
The last story indicates how backwards that district is, but the first story shows so many crimes being committed by the police themselves. I remember back in the late 80's, that a story surfaced about the New Orlean police. The feds had JUST shut them down. The reason is that the police chief was going to have a witness murdered to keep him from talking (they had no idea how close the fed were). In fact, the feds had figured out that several other murders by the police had taken place to prevent the feds, so they took this one serious. What was more amazing is that this made the front page and then disappeared from the press the next day. That alone indicates how much control there is over the press.
But taking a side note, this blog really shows that news papers are doomed shortly. It really is important that blogs like this continue. I mean, if news papers were doing their jobs, this would be in the news. The fact that it is not, shows that even when a story is there, they ignore it.
Almost certainly, they are thinking mars and the moon. But I consider this a backwards step. It seems that all of the initial steps should be specialized rather than generalized in the same fashion that the shuttle was. The Orion and Dragon are highly specialized. I suspect that we will see other countries heading in the right direction, by specializing rather than making it the end-all.
There will still be demands on oil. As it is, America does not buy Iranian oil and they do just fine. But I am sure that if we were off of oil for transportation, most other countries would join us.
However, due to the new found greenness of the population, it is becoming extremely difficult to site and build coal plants. We are in for some interesting times.
Personally, I am hopeful that the next president will all but require each state to have a nuke. Realisticly, it is a far better choice than coal plants. But I was thinking about how long these take to come on line. A slightly different approach on these would be to build a gas or coal plant (which can happen VERY quickly save for environmental regs), with the premise that the site is going to go nuke. Once the nuke comes on-line, then the company can either pull the boiler and use it for another site, OR keep it and use it for a back-up. That way, if the nuke has to come down, then the company is still doing generation rather cheaply.
I have felt that gas's biggest advantage is the back-up and peak ability that it has. The idea of using it for base load strikes me as crazy.
For the most part you are correct. Coal is base load. But many of them are used as spinning reserves. That is they are running at 1/4 of the load. They can actually come up to speed rather quickly IF they are already running. But in general, natural gas is preferred for the peak generators since they can be off and then be hot quickly.
Numerous studies have been done about this.
If ALL OF AMERICA'S CARS AND TRUCKS WERE CONVERTED TO ELECTRICAL TODAY (not going to happen), THEN:
The power generators would hold up JUST fine. The reason is that most ppl are going to charge at night.
In General the grid will hold just fine again. The ONLY place that needed boosting was a few places in Washington (BTW, the last study was done in 2006).
The total CO2 would be lower because Coal only provides 48% of our electricity and is dropping.
The Total costs of power would be far less than gas is today.
All in all, the ONLY thing holding us back from electrical is storage. Now that car companies are jumping to li-ion AND possibly some interesting super capacitors, this may all happen over a decade long time frame.
that NASA is playing all sides at this time. EU and Russia have solutions, but both are trying to charge arm/leg. SpaceX is unknown as to whether it will be ready in time. I suspect that if this week's falcon fails, then NASA will cut deals quickly with all the above. But if it works, then they are going to feel better. The one issue is that NASA is feeling very threatened by SpaceX. Congress will have a difficult time seeing that constellation really is a different beast than the falcon9/dragon. Of course, if Spacex really does pursue the BFR, then it will be difficult to see any differences.
What I can't understand is why Staroffice/OpenOffice tried so hard to copy something so bad.
Strictly to make it easy for Office ppl to move. Personally, I agree with you. It might be good if a firefox was done on it. In way, that is already happening. The ability to read/write star office files make it possible to have loads of apps. I only wish that Apple works would do the same.
And you think that Apple would quit release like MS does? Apple has shown over all to care about their software. I seriously doubt that Firefox 3 forced Safari to release a new one.
Apple did not release Safari because of Firefox. After all, Firefox was on Apple. They released it because they wanted to be in control of their future. As it was, MS had announced that they were going to pull MSIE from them. What amazes me, is that Apple has not pushed OO to be on there. They would be smart to add a few coders to the project just to ensure that it can compete against Office on their platform.
How funny. Al Gore DOES believe that Nukes should be part of the energy matrix. He is not fighting it. Nor has he been pushing it. Basically, he has remained outside of the argument. But he has NOT been against nukes.
As to UNPROVEN tech, well, you have to be kidding. All of the tech that is being pushed by the AE group is 100% proven. Why? Because it is in use. We have 10GW+ of wind generators in America. We also have loads of Solar PV, Solar Thermal, Geo-thermal, Hydroelectric, Tidal, etc. About the ONLY one not tested is Wave, yet, the concept is pretty simple.
I would be more interested in the biological impact. It seems to me that we should be able to take big tanks with corral, reef, etc and add various amounts and watch what happens over a year or more time span.
Sigh. There are LOADS of alternatives to fossil fuel. In particular, nukes and geo-thermals. You may refuse to believe in anything but fossil fuel, but that is why Pickens is pushing for AE,and nukes AND MAKING MONEY AT IT, while you, well, where are you? The man jumped on oil/gas back when there was plenty of it and we did not know better. Now, he wants to limit it, and convert the nation. I suspect that if EESTOR comes true, Pickens will be happy to drop even his natural gas for cars idea.
BTW, economies get endangered when they stagnate. Look at Detroit and all of America for that matter. We have stagnated. We need to quit being the business ppl and start building new things and ideas. Basically, we need to go back to our science/engineer types.

Firefox was a friendly fork. It was ultimately accepted by the group. OO needs a friendly fork. Leave the internals, but change the UI.
they just will not last that long. And the flying time lasts about 50KM.

money going towards assets rather than a simple debt. Would you rather own or rent?
Ok, add an extra 30% to it. Gee, it is up $15.00. I will take a bill like that.
