    Have in mind that IR and UV can go through some milimeters of flesh. You can take IR photos, even with a point and shoot digital camera, and see veins i.e. on your arms. Also you can shoot UV, and see defects on your skin, or old hematomas. IR and UV are also used in art, for seeying through old layers of paint, and knowing how paintings where a lot of years ago, or how where painted, or maybe, if there is any different sketch under the painting...

  7. Not at all :( on Spain Adds 'Copyright Tax' to Blank Media · · Score: 1

    So that will make it legal to burn any media to CD/DVD as you are paying the copyright holder?....
    Does this mean you can circumvent any DRM or other technical measures to protect the material on other media / files to burn them since you have paid this tax?....
    Do I get tax back if I end up burning a coaster?....
    Can you easily get tax back if its material you own the copyright to that you are burning?....
    Does this include Software products and movie DVD rips and if so are you going to have to tell the media supplier what you intend to make copies of?....


    Answer to all questions is NO.
    They have 'double' funds, that is, you'll pay the copyright holder for your copy media, but, also, if you get caught by the police, they'll kick your ass and you'll pay a fine to SGAE. The Fair Use is inexistant on Spain, we have only a 'private use' law that allowed us to copy and download music for our own use without breaking the law, but, they are modifying it for banning it.

    You're not getting also your money back if you burn your own media or recording, or if you do a bad burn. To receive money from SGAE from this 'new' kind of funding, you must be a registered author on SGAE, also, you must sell a minimun of 50 thousand (maybe 25 thousand, I cannot remember exactly now) records a year, and then, you'll receive money proportionally to the number of records you sold.

    So, you sell 20 thousand records a year? Your money is for the Top Ten Music Assholes
    You break a pair of DVDs while burning? More money for the top 'musicians'
    You record backups, your holidays, or maybe you work in a design firm that sends cds to clients, or in a law firm, that save cases in CDs, or maybe in a security agency that uses tens or hundreds of cd's a day for saving CCTV videos? Another big bunch of money for them...

    And yes, they prosecute copyright infringers AND blank media AND copiers also. for a lot of years now, we've been paying aditional money each time we bought a copier or a multifunction printer 'cos 'it could be used for copyright infrigment'. Think about 70 $ in a little multifunction thing, or maybe 200$ in a copier (a Xerox or something)...

    FYI, until now, we were paying 'only' for blank CDs and DVDs, like 15 ADITIONAL cents for EACH blank CD, and 30 to 60 for each DVD. Think about duplicating pricing, yes...

  8. Re:Prematurely released :( ? on Ubuntu 6.06 'Dapper Drake' Released · · Score: 1

    Try a 'server install' on the boot menu of the cd, theoretycally it will install on text mode, and you'll have ubuntu with no desktop system. Once it finish, you should install with apt-get the package called, ubuntu-desktop.

    That is:

    sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

    And, that's all :D

    I had a similar problem with in in the first versions of Dapper. Maybe you can try something stupid I discovered that were causing the freeze:

    Shut down your computer

    Boot your dapper again...

    Tell me something about it...

  11. Re:SATA is fine on SCSI vs. SATA In a File Server? · · Score: 1

    Our last setup was better like:

    2 units of a 15 disk chassis.
    In each chassis 14 RAID5 disks + 1 spare (so 2 disks can fail a time in each chassis)
    And tied together both chassis with software RAID0 on LINUX.

    An IO rocket, you know, and you can do something similar with less discs and a pair or three 'cheap' controllers.

    Have a nice day.

    Knowing something about wireless and microwaves should tell you that we use to put the computers on the roof cos' in that signal we send, in 2'4 Ghz, we can loose it all in only 2 or 3 meters of wiring. So, we put it up.

  19. It's easy to avoid it on Oil-Cooling 802.11 Infrastructure · · Score: 1

    First of all, sorry about my silly english, from Spain :D.

    In second place, about rancid oil ;) its avoiding it's easy using sintetic oil, cheapest car oil should work. Vegetal oil is used here cos' its price, no more, no less, but as you should know it degrades so fast.

    About HD, it never should be placed inside the oil, cos it isn't really hermetic. A HD is prepared for supporting a lot of pressure changes in its moving to its final placing, and all the 'stickers' are prepared for compensating this changes.

    And about Oil PCs, one of the first 'we' get working was in Spanish HackMeeting 2003,in Madrid, a PC in a, hummm, fishbowl?, umm, i think that's the name of the container you put fishes inside with water and so :D.
