Why not that of which we do not speak? It's distributed world wide, mirrored about everywhere, everyone has access to it, it's fast as hell (maxes out my connection), you can post massive binaries to it, text files. Most places have up to 400 day retention now. It would be trivial to setup a script to repost stuff every 100 days. Put everything in a 7za and it shouldn't take up too much space.
If the RIAA/MPAA hasn't figured out how to touch it, I doubt many will.
Early 2000s, they're sprinkled here and there. Although 1998 was a bumper year, a ton of Linus stories. Linus has a kid Linus talking about grandpa Linus on Git Linus Sightings Linus moves to Moscow, Linus moves to Oregon, Linus on 2.4, Linus on 2.6, Linus a Fermilab, Linus shows up in * magazine, Linus suffers Ego-bump, * interviews Linus.
Same with RMS. RMS turns 50, RMS interviewed by *, etc
Slashdot is also user driven. If you don't write the fodder stories, they can't ever get approved. (I'm not saying which way it is either way).
if you knew half the stuff that went through the average woman's brain you'd probably crap a few bricks. Women make up for in detail what men do in quantity in that regard.
Case in point. Except most adult women are smart enough not to write it down. - This probably won't write down every single thought that runs through your head. You still probably have to 'think' of the letters. When I type I mentally spell out every word and know that I have to hit those keys. When I'm talking to someone or just thinking about that hot waitress I'm not thinking "W-o-w w-h-a-t a g-r-e-a-t a-s-s".
I wonder what the WPM is. I've reached a point in my keyboarding skills that the limitation seems to be on the brain thinking of what to type and not on the fingers actually doing the typing.
And THIS is what is wrong with American thinking and why "Universal Health Care" will never work. EVERYONE is thinking about 'me me me' and the bottom line on THEIR wallet.
Every single other first world nation in the world has figured out health care for everyone, and as far as I can tell they haven't devolved into chaos. It's not a matter of money. If we cut Military spending in half and quit tried being the world's big brother we could easily fund full health care for everyone in the US including some 'elective' surgeries like Lasik. The fundamental reason why universal health care won't work in America is thinking like this.
I got to take all 8 days of vacation to India this year for a wedding where I met quite a few travelers from Europe. Not a single one has this mentality. Not a single one worried about how those 'bums' were imposing on 'their' freedom.
Some other nice amenities that those 'socialist' countries get that we don't: We are the only country that has no mandatory parental leave. This graph is in weeks. Way down at that tail end is the United States with 0 days. We also have the proud distinction of being the only country with 0 minimum days of vacation..
If I had fewer ties to America, I would move to one of those 'socialist' countries in a heart beat. I would gladly give 70% income tax to know that I (or my children) are covered cradle to grave (including while on vacation out of the country). School (including college), healthcare, maternity leave, unemployment, etc etc.
Hopefully when you reach the age you need to move into a home, your family makes the right decision and just has you euthanized instead, wouldn't want you imposing on their freedoms.
Clits have been deprecated because they wear out. They just can't take any abuse what so ever...

A Requiem For Saab
·
· Score: 1
And there are some groups that hit it, or twice it with regularity.
VW's IDI/TDI diesel engines. Numerous people are hitting 300 & 400k. Not hitting 200k usually means the dealer screwed something up.
Everyone has the stories, but its how many cumulative stories you hear about the same engines that determine if it's an exception to the rule or a rule to the exception.
And against Moose. Hitting a moose is unlike hitting any other animal because of how high they stand. It's more or less like hitting a 2 ton wrecking ball.
And Saab was the best recourse in arguments against "But I NEED an SUV because I live in Michigan in the snow." Really, because the Swedish get away with a Saab. ----------
Then there's that old urban legend of the old Saab owner challenging a Porsche owner to a race... in Reverse.
Saab owner shuts his car off. Rolls it forward, drops the clutch with the car in reverse and the car roars to life.
He soundly beats the Porsche owner with his 3 forward gears as the engine runs backwards.
Good ole two strokes. ---------- And a list of Saab innovations: * 1958: The GT 750 is the first car fitted with seatbelts as standard.[26] * 1963: Saab becomes the first volume maker to offer diagonally-split dual brake circuits. * 1969: Saab creates an ignition system near the gearbox, instead of behind the steering wheel like most cars. * 1970: Saab introduces a world-first - headlamp wipers and washers. * 1971: Heated front seats are introduced, the first time in the world they are fitted as standard. * 1971: Saab develops the impact-absorbing, self-repairing bumper. * 1976: Saab was the first manufacturer to produce a turbo engine with wastegate to control boost. * 1978: Saab introduces another 'world-first,' the passenger compartment air filter (pollen filter). * 1980: Saab introduces Automatic Performance Control (APC), and an anti-knock sensor that allowed higher fuel economy and the use of lower grade fuel without engine damage. * 1981: Saab introduces the split-field side mirror. This reduces the drivers blind spot. * 1982: Saab introduces asbestos-free brake pads. * 1983: Saab introduces the 16-valve turbocharged engine * 1985: Saab pioneers direct ignition, eliminating the distributor and spark plug wires. * 1991: Saab introduces a 'light-pressure' turbo. * 1991: Saab is the first manufacturer to offer CFC-free air-conditioning. * 1991: Saab develops its 'Trionic' engine management system, equipped with a 32-bit micro-processor. * 1993: Saab introduces the 'Sensonic clutch' and the 'Black Panel', later to be called the 'Night Panel'. * 1993: Saab develops the 'Safeseat' rear passenger protection system. * 1994: Saab introduces the 'Trionic T5.5' engine management system, its processor is a Motorola 68332. * 1995: Saab presents an asymmetrically turbocharged V6 at the Motor Show in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. * 1996: Saab introduces active head restraints (SAHR), which help minimize the risk of whiplash. * 1997: Saab introduces Electronic Brake-force Distribution * 1997: Saab fits ventilated front seats to their new 9-5. * 1997: Saab introduces ComSense; an alert delay feature that reduces the risk of distraction by briefly postponing lower priority alerts when the brakes or indicators are activated * 2000: Saab introduces Saab Variable Compression, an engine in which the compression ratio is varied by tilting the cylinder head in relation to the pistons. * 2002: Saab developed ReAxs System provides crisp steering feedback and contributes to enhanced driving stability in curves * 2003: Saab introduces CargoSET; automatic storage well retraction for the convertible, a two-step tonneau action for quicker soft-top deployment * 2008: Saab introduces Cross-wheel drive, an advanced all-wheel drive system with eLSD.
Go with clientless thinclients depending on how large your install base is.
Multiseat linux setups are rather easy to setup. There are even a few commercial applications. (My local library has one).
If they don't need DVI, there are some solutions which you just run a single USB cable and it carries sound, USB & VGA. If your work environment is setup so people are relatively close together, give each desk cluster a quad or octocore CPU and everyone their own X session.
I have a friend with a few kids (3-4) and the oldests are now starting to both want to use the computer. You can either 1) Buy 2 separate computers 2) Get 1 decent computer (dual core should be plenty for a 5 year old) and just setup 2 monitors side by side.
True, but how about the "I never lost signal" metric? Top of the mountain, bottom of the valley. And it's not like this was a single mountain surrounded by plains. Sometimes I wasn't on the tallest peak. I was in a 'valley' of peaks around me. And how does one build a cellular network without running wires? Are all of the cell towers in a mesh network?
The landlines do suck. I saw numerous downed land lines that on one has bothered to repair. But saying that the US has great landline service is like bragging that we have the best typewriter availability around so it's acceptable that we can't get good computers.
I'm not seeing where TracPhone has 2 year plans. I am seeing where you can pay $6 and get a 30 day extension. India has 20 year expiration for free. "Customers already enrolled in Service Protection (previously called Lifeline Plan) will continue paying the original price of $4.95/mo each time they are Past Due."
I had to put $100 on a prepaid Cingular cellphone to get a 1 year 'expiration' and I still had at least half that when it expired.
TracPhone has $9.99, 50 minute planes. That's $.20 a minute. In India that's around 500 Rupees. At present you can get 50p/minute (.5 Rupee) per minute plans, which is around $0.01 a minute. The US is 20x more expensive. I got the 60p/minute plan. That included ALL calls, including incoming international. (I couldn't place international calls).
So congratulations, we can get plans that are 20x more expensive and get to pay $6 just to extend another 30 days of service.
I just got back from a trip to India. In terms of mobiles, the US is lightyears behind them.
I went out to Sikkim for the first week, closer in geography to Colorado than NYC (or the rest of India). I don't think I ever lost cell reception once. We're talking about an area that is about as densely populated as farm towns in the Midwest. I was standing on top of a mountain and could get 4 networks. 4. Vodaphone, Airtel, Aircel and some other local one. I got better reception at the top of the mountain that I can get at my own house in a subdivision (I don't live in the sticks).
Not only that EVERYONE had a cell phone. Some of the monks, every farm we were on, etc. Everything was prepaid and the SIM cards 'never' expired (They had an expiration sometime in 2025). Meaning I could add $1-2 and it would never expire. Compare that to the US where if I want to get the cheap $10 prepaid plan I have 30 days to use that before it expires. Calls were around $.01/minute anywhere.
Then they had the 'data' plans. Stuff for $10-20 a month with unlimited 3G. I had an 'unlimited' GPRS plan that cost me $0.20 a day. Not only that I could turn it on and off at will. Going to not need it: *567#, going to use it: *567#. No locked in plans, no monthly fees, nothing.
It's depressing coming back to the US and realize how much we're getting screwed by the phone companies compared to else where.
Ohio isn't in the 'middle' of a plate. It's actually fairly close to the New Madrid line.
The line responsible for four of the largest earth quakes North America has seen. If it goes off again the Midwest is proper fucked as nothing is built to Earthquake standards.
And that's used for BioDiesel, not Ethanol. BioDiesel is MUCH more environment friendly in terms of production. A few simple catalysts and it's done, no waiting for or heating fermentation.
I come back with an estimated $50,000 bill to repair your roof correctly to stand up to the conditions.
I get together with my family and decide that despite your suggestion, you really only need $10,000 to do the job. We give you $10,000 shake your hand and tell you to do the best you can.
Then when it rains you blame us for not building it up to standard when you refused to fund it.
1) no command line/daemon version. My 2 Linux systems are headless. No GUI of any sort. I want something that goes in init.d and behaves like everything else debian (start|stop|restart) for these machines.
2) I can't use my own service. The people that plan on using their own hosting service really don't overlap with the type of people that are paying them big money to host their data. XMarks (Formerly FoxMarks) lets you host all your data on a WebDAV host. Let me add my own SSH/SFTP/WebDav host and I'd even consider paying for it with how awesome it works.
As someone else posted, I have everything benign at the root level (Fine, steal my grocery list) and everything else is in a true crypt disk.
