He was task with removing the burden of men watering fields in a third world country. He came up with the idea of having water bufallo's go up a moving conver belt making the belt move turning a electric generator. And when they reached the top do the same on the way down... Simple... Purs the effort on them.
Well the Water Bufallo's did not like it at all.... So the men started to shove them up the ramp! And at the top. It took even more men to shove them down the other side... Yep they were producing power for the electric pumps but it took more men and effort to do this than by irigating the fields the old way.
Gyro quickly left the country...
The Embasador said he was sorry it did not work and not giving something that would help. But the Village elder say. You are wrong. Its a find gift! It give something for the Bufallo's to scratch their sides against...

Yep. Thats the truth. Look at Enterprise. Three seasons were not enough. You need about 100 epsodes to do it. Forth season they cut back. Switch to HD video. Moved to Firday nights. Droped two epsodes for the normal 26. And cut cost. And actualy made some intersting epsodes. They amost pull it from the brink. But...
Problems was Viacom just wanted enough epsodes for syndication and UPN wanted a show for the -0 IQ people. Which Enterprise failes totaly for the type of view they want.
And the wresling show which is higher in required IQ than -0 is being shown the same treatment for next season.
Prime time tv is dead. The fat lady is already sung and the fork is in place.

Makes sense! The game market have used that concept for over 10 years! Epsode 1 is free but protected. Just like an open source work. Epsode 2 -> X will be released in 2 to 4 weeks. Purchase via web site. eBay or secure link.
To me the main item is the NET does what Warnners Brothers or one of the studios/network does. But with a lot of hands not in th pie.
Lets face it. The networks started to die when cable/disk started growing with various content either too small or too much for the networks. And this will finish the job! It not about the O but in CONTROL! To des destroy a thing is to control a thing.
When I clean up a mess for a client and they still want to use outlook. I go through and turn off the preview pannel. That is one of the worst bugs in Outlook.
That is the crux of the matter. I have written programs for clients and it is a mega mess of calls and strange crazy links etc. They change things as soon as you learn how to do something usfull. And not really support area they should but dont.
All software has a life cycle. And Windows has reached the end of its life. Any decent software engineer will tell you after awhile if you are patching it this hard. All your doing is patching patches! And deffently doing that will cause more problems. Like a room full of mice traps loaded with ping pong balls. Toss one in and after a while they will all be trigered.
Wonder how much of windows is real code vs patched.
It would not supprise me to see Microsoft doing a Apple after Longhorn of creating a new Windows OS from scratch and praying that LH will hold untill it comes out. Which would be that date of 2010 that was floated on a memo a while back. Apple didd this when small and surivived. And MS can do it now but cant pospone much longer.
With Dell making noises about if offered would put OS X on their boxes could force Microsoft to finaly do the correct thing and make a real secure Windows from scratch. It will breake 20 year old software but is it better to do that then be a leaking buckett of patches covering broken code! Thta no one wants to buy or use.

Yep. In effect a Steam Powered Spaceship.
Heat a gas. It expands. Thrust. Simple.
Also look up ION engine.
You dont need thrust all of the time but if you have fuel to burn so to speak. A constant low output can do the job also. Would provide for a simulated gravity for the ship.
The moon is ideal. At L5 there are no materials. The Moon has materials. Build a base with mining and set up simple automation. Then easy to send that stuff to L5 then build a base there directly. Basically a payback scheme. Simular to the expansion West. Or any world building game like Civilization.
I think it was either RAH or Authr C Clark that coin the line.
When you reach orbit. You half way to any where in space.
After the big Apple news of going to Intel and the talk they tried Cell and other new Power PC chips and desided that the Intel { vauge } road map was the way to go this week. This info about PS3 and Linux is very intersting.
The reply to not using Cell some what stating its not worth it or somthing to that effect of using Cell in a user computer may just come back to haunt them. Duals are nice but 8 with supervisior chips is more intersting!
If Linux really runs well and fast on it and is truly usable. Think of what would be possible? Apple plusses are solid stable platform with the same in the OS.
If true then they not only have a intersting game system but a possible 2nd computer? Add in content from Columbia/Tri-star as in movies on demand. That makes the higher price more reasonable.
One last item... Remeber the CEO of Sony was on stage in January with Job's? Could it be Sony was talking to Apple to use OS X but something went wrong? Like the comment of "No" we want Intel?
Guess will need to save up some pennies and dimes just in case! Any one know the schedule release date of PS3?
So are most programmers that have been dealing with Active X over the years. You learn to be carefull when dealing with them. Else you get eating by the Tiger.
Talk about going at 120 mph then turning at 90 degrees or going instanly into reverse!
They still have about 1.5 years to get someting beyond a service pack/pretty GUI ready.
NOTE: Tiger here is not refering to a company in Florida or somthing dealling with a just released OS. But a very large striped kitty with teeth, fur and want you as THE snack!

Good point!
Just think of how hight the blimp would need to fly to get the whole thing in view!
Might as well buy a old spy sat and park it just above the cource!
Or.... Use a lot of computer simulation cut will real footage.
Better. As in Stone Trek. Use a magna/antimagma warped engine....

Must be late. or all of that Rootbeer!
Both of the links pop up sat shots that are "up side down"! The Buckingham Palace one looks like it was bombed around a sunken area!
I guess its a shot from the bird going over from north to south.
Some of the places I have check on are over 2+ years ago.
Microsoft? They would love it!
Try the MPAA and RIAA! When detected unlicence info being copies or single copy being copy it frys both media.
Why chemical? Just drop simple sand inside. At 7200 it would litterly sand blast the disk!
PLOW: Yep the old form of dragging the heads across the media. Simulating a Vinyl records with a stylus. Works every time!
I agree on common sense.
When I clean up a mess for a client and they still want to use outlook. I go through and turn off the preview pannel. That is one of the worst bugs in Outlook.
The catch with these sat shots from google. Is they are about two to almost three years old!
Else just find Pahrump NV. Its close by Art Bells place!
Actualy the detail for Area 51 is more detailed than his town!
After these last few weeks. Would not suprise me at all!

With the ego levels of both MS and Hollywood. Will be more intersting on the behind the seens battle than the battles on the screen!
have seen one shot of the Doom movie! And that was planed how long ago? It just barelly older on first anouncement than the next Duke Nukum!
Hears they were replacing solitare with that game!

Yep!
Actually Thomson is French! Not U.S. And isent Zenth own by a Japanes company?
From last checked I dont think there is a U.S. TV mfg left.
Actualy the switch to digital will free up bandwidth but they want to open that area for bidding. IE money!
