  1. Re:static dhcp ? on What's On Your Network? · · Score: 1

    Simple. Register you NIC with the NOC, after they autorize this MAC, clone that mac to some cheap router (linksys/netgear) and then have your equipment behind the router. Hide it under the desk, and they will be none the wiser. You may need to get a new NIC ( as to avoid a conflict with the router).

  2. Re:who's electrolysing water? on New Way to Make Hydrogen · · Score: 1

    The easy to refine oil? Maybey you mean easy to produce. After an oil formation starts to get depleated, then you have to complicate the production process to maintain oil flow, be it with oil pumps ( pumping unit/ESPs), water injection, steam injection, or various other methods (Frac formation stimulation, etc).

    It creates a "system" account" with a UID lower than the one specified by UID_MIN in your login.defs config file. Basicly a super user account/root account/whatever. It will not however create a home directory without the -m flag. This will simplify the hackers life, as too many new linux guys try to stay as far away from manual config as possible, and wouldent be modifying the passwd file themselves, so they would only notice an extra home directory.

    thats kind of what I figured, that and if they tried to use them above 200mph they would probably rip off. Not sure that the windshield would even be usefull except for landing, and I did not know the approach speed (~180Knts?), or if it would be enough to take care of rain during landing.

    No but birds could release substances on the windshield. Do you want to climb that tall bastard with a rag and some windex? I seriously doubt there are windshield wipers due to the extream speed. I could be wrong, and they could be in recesses, but IANARS. Plus rain and debris from hurricanes are a very good possibility this time of year.

    On second thought, your phone may. My phone has built in bluetooth, so I guess its possible that your phone will operate at 2.4ghz sometimes.

    Your Cell phone does not work at 2.4GHZ ( ~resonate frequency of water). Not sure if this device will, but some RFID, and bluetooth do.

    There is a good book ( The radioactive Boy Scout) That tells of a scout working on a merit badge for his eagle scout rank. He built a small breader reactor in his back yard. Pretty good book, but this article will highlight most of the interesting stuff.

    I think the guy is saying that it can be done simply, but with unknown effects, if any. Its like a 14 year old with an estes rocket an a .410 shotgun shell. You can put it in the top of the rocket, throw an E engine in the rocket, and shoot it up in the air. This CAN be a dangerous weapon, but without knowing the impulse time, wind, weigh, thurst, or any number of variables, where it lands is just an uneducated guess. You CAN make nitroglycerin with nitric acid, glycerin, and nothing more( including knowldge of the stability/flash points), but that does not make it a good idea. I dont belive this guys idea will work, but who knows. It would be damn hard to model the effects of a plutonium pellet being flung out of a sling shot at a plutonium sphere.

    If something is wrong, you SHOULD try to fix it, not just accept the things that are wrong, or give up and move somewhere else.

    Banks have FDIC to cover accounts incase of robbery($100,000/per account I belive). But if they steal your financial information ( credit loans, SSN, whatever) you are screwed.

    If a black dude mugs you, you lose what you have on you, if a white dude(she was speaking of Enron) robs you, you are screwed for the rest of your life.

    yeah they used a chemical called fluorinert made by 3M. To do tests on the machine, they would drain the tanks, and remove the modules. to simplify moving proves around on the board, they would only cycle power to the modules for a few milliseconds, else run the risk of burning them up.
