Well both of my flashlights only require a regular shaking. The motion is something most slashdotters are good at anyways. Led, a couple of capacitors, and a easy charge method works well
That's normal for USPS tracking though. I have yet to be able to actually track a package with their system. In the last several years it has never once worked for me. I don't understand why this year is any different. by the time their tracking software realizes a package is in the system the system has it delivered.
Personally I just feel we should abandon and then nuke Jerusalem with something that would irradiate the area for centuries. No pilgrimages, no confined spaces the fighting over the city would end. All they could do is go to the edge of the danger zone and cry. The hard part is finding a non biased country willing to do that. Maybe China.
yea but the OS is so tied into the hardware that you can't port apps out of the OS, hardware combo. Applications shouldn't care what they are running on, hardware or software.
The only system to even begin to accomplish that is Inferno.
So your saying that next generation processors need a gig of cache. Plus 4gigs of ram.
I think what is really needed is new OS designs. Something that is no longer tied quite as close to the hardware. So that new hardware ideas can be tried.
Second there is normally no evidence. I knew a job where the electricans literally spent 9 hours installing 2000 pounds of copper wiring in pipe. Lock the job site and go home. by 6am the next morning the wire was gone, and the pipe had been cut into 24-48 foot pieces with the wires in them. the pipe was laying on the ground. with sawzall and gloves they undid those work hours in less than an hour. A security camera across the street recorded an unidentifiable truck pull in, and leave an hour later. however unlike tv crime shows real security camera's have crappy resolution.
Seeing how they all had several childern, grandchildern, etcI would say yes.
Aragorn and Arwen are technically cousins. As Aragorn is descended from from Elrond's brother who choose to be mortal instead of immortal elf.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elrond
Ah but that is the kicker vista as released to the world would be a.8 or.9 release for Linux distro. Google is the same. It comes out of beta when it is feature complete and stable. While bugs may exist stability is already achieved.
No but I am using 6 computers plus VOIP phone service and things would be a lot better if they did. I could eliminate the second switch inside my home.
as it is now I have 6 different hops(4 local) my computer has to take before I even get to the gateway, and DNS servers.
you do realize that clear channel supplies content to XM right? Clear channel entercom, etc supply the bulk of the radio you hear over XM, it is more a matter of connivence for the end user.
personally I am waitng for clear channel or Entercom to simply buy up XM and then make a deal with the other. Satellite radio doesn't have the stupid censors of regular radio.
Canada 30 million citizens. NY state 22 million citizens. France and sweden are the same way. japan's military is only for local defense and has little offensive ability. Because the USA has kept their military in political check for 60 years. No Compare the USA military to that of China who has twice the number of soldiers, and dumping of billions into military research to at least duplicate US tech levels. Now take a technologically advanced version of the USA and double the number of soldiers in it.
While i fully believe that the USA can trim tens of billions from defense spending advance research isn't one of the items that should go. Unless of course they want to add practical research to it.
The only way to make the army cheaper is to lessen the value of the human soldiers in it. China's army is twice the size of the USA's. FCS and all those high tech devices are designed to allow the military to do more with less overall resources. The F-22 and F-35 are designed to use the same support systems, and similar components to allow faster and ultimately less expensive in field repairs.
While the whole land warrior system has been stripped back, squad leaders are still carrying the communication systems and real time mapping aspects to allow them to better coordinate forces. As it stands the US military is one of the most efficient militaries in the world(an oxymoron if there ever was one). While realistic assessments of the tech, and future upgrades to the systems themselves are required it can be doen more easily as the basics of the design has been completed.
The F-22 was the R&D test bed for the F-35 While the per unit cost of the F-22 is high because of this the per unit cost of the F-35 is far far smaller.
You can't make the army cheaper unless your willing to kill more of your own soldiers to do it.
a few years back when the american Sub hit a japanese fishing trawler, I heard about it from the BBC 3 hours earlier than CNN, FOX, or NBC began to air what happened.
the AP had it but it wasn't news worthy for hours afterwards. I didn't say other news sources wouldn't be biased as well, but if you want to know what is happening in the USA try an external news source first.
Another point the hotel shooting in India. the USA news sources are focusing 90% of their coverage on the 3 americans inside, more or else ignoring the other hundreds of people wounded.
I am smart enough to understand that french and british news are also biased towards their own people. You can learn quite a bit by keeping an open mind.
your 70% right. no one is willing to give away to everyone the new rational version. Java while free, is a huge download..NET only works on windows as MSFT has both patents and copyrights on it, preventing full compatibility whenever they want to release their lawyers.
Wow what an ignorant statement. I figured after 8 years of Reagan spouting that bullshit and the economy collapsing, and 8 more years of the same crap with Bush and again economy collapsing. that people would finally figure out that trickle down theory is so far wrong that it leads to economic collapse.
Do yourself a favor. draw a timeline of economic upswings and downswings. and layer on who was president and when. you should notice a trend. republicans crash or damage the economy. Now it isn't 100% as it takes a couple of years for the economy to move. Bush senior did pick things up well during his term in office. However rich people strangle the economy because they horde money. dollar for dollar the mid class spend more of their money than any one making over $300,000
actually as things go within 5 years it should be possible for even northern latitude homes to produce enough energy to cover 60% of there yearly energy use. Currently in active development between solar and vertical turbine wind generators the ability for roughly 10,000 watts to be generated at the average home. Now all wee need is a method of storage other than batteries, and a convertor that will allow the excess to dump back out onto the grid.(for when your not home anyways)
cutting down the need for home heating oils, and electrical usage will go farther in the short term than electric cars. of course that some storage cell will be good for electric cars too. Cars really don't generate a lot. they have been cleaning up their arse emissions for 15 years.
So design a better version? yes ajax sucks, but it works with what is already existing out there allowing a simple pgrade of features for everyone.
Silverlight, flash,.NET, even Java all require downloads and installs of some other piece of technology. ajax takes existing tech and does something similar. It isn't pretty but it has been effective.
Windows should have shown you by now, that ugly but effective still makes millions.
well the simplest solution is to look at non US news sources. frequently the BBC posts stories about US military hours before american news outlets do. Pull your head out of your arse, and look at some else's news for a while. France while a some what ally will publish news that American news outlets won't as they are considered "sensitive" or not news worthy(read latest actress scandal is more important).

odd but not as much as you might think. the middle day a replacement driver had the route. It is one reason why i send everything to work.
That's normal for USPS tracking though. I have yet to be able to actually track a package with their system. In the last several years it has never once worked for me.
I don't understand why this year is any different. by the time their tracking software realizes a package is in the system the system has it delivered.
And if they don't want google to crawl google unlike a few others actually obeys the robots.txt file.

what was the name of teh RIAA before?
mafia?
Iran can't yet hit the USA, but can hit Israel and europe. Also they aren't called ICBM for nothing. They can travel around the globe.

true put it is really hard to get mercury to stay still. that and it is really bad when you accidently eat some.

exactly. Ms is well known for ruining good ideas by letting marketing have more pull than the guys building it.

well most government employees don't have a backbone so they have no personal experience to draw from when you cut it.
