Exactly. And you don't have to be a guru to use any OS. To the end user, they just need to know how to log-in, check e-mail, and use their other applications on a daily bases. Honestly, they don't need to be trained on the OS functions or commands. To do so would be like telling a Windows user how to trouble shoot Windows.
Second, tech support can just put togeather a simple user manual with step by steps on what to do for each department.
Our first serious problem has arisen. Hydrogen Embrittlement has been detected in some engine components, in some cases severely. Hydrogen Embrittlement occurs when Hydrogen gas dissolves into the structure of certain metals (usually Aluminum & Steels). It can cause cracking and failure of metal components. We are now looking into this problem, possible solutions, and are performing a tear-down of our vehicles that have clocked the most miles on Hydrogen.
Ya, just as I thought might happen:( It's too bad really. This would make a nice addition to a project that I've been thinking about. Because E-85 fuel is rated at 105 octane, once could really crank up the turbo/blower boost on an old Mustang 5.0. Combine this with hydrogen and I'm sure it would perform even better. Basically, my idea is to modify an old sport car to be a lean, green, drag racing machine. Aside from the higher flow fuel injectors needed (among other parts), I suspect running a Dyno test would clock the engine with MORE HP at the crank in comparison with standard 91 octane gasoline.
We shall see how they handle the embitterment problem first.;)
Arandir is correct. In America, being "green" has become political. In fact, the idea of being green has been hijacked by a bunch of socialists. Don't believe me? Check out the Green Party website and read for yourself. http://www.greenparty.org/
I'm really hoping that hydrogen injection system, H2N-Gen, actually comes to market and works as advertised. This is a device that injects hydrogen into the cylinders during combustion to enable around 97% of the fuel to be burned, thus almost eliminating emissions; should work on any internal combustion engine (gas, diesel, or natural gas).
As I know, hydrogen embrittlement effects steel. I'm not sure how it effects cast iron, forged piston heads, rings, or valves. I tried doing a search on google about this topic and found nothing in regards to long term effects on a standard engine block. I can only assume one of two things.
1. No information is available due to lack of study.
2. The hydrogen burns fast and clean and thus makes the issue moot.
Hear hear! I agree. Dispite that I love living in the US, I still hold the motto "trust no one" to my heart. What we need is some sort of P2P domain system AND make it so changes are enacted via global vote ratios. I'm not sure how it technically could be done, but the idea sound fair IMHO.
If you look through the data, you will often find poor countries having the most crime while rich countries have little. Keep in mind though, crime statistics are gathered through the local enforcement agencies. So for all we know, areas with the least amount of police may actually have much higher crime rates then what gets reported.
I personally don't base the idea of crime rate to inequality. I base it on culture and local ethical values. Also with lack of money to spend on law enforcement by any given poor country, a higher crime rate is to be expected.
Interestingly, the US does have the highest reported crime rate (based on raw numbers, NOT percentage). Germany, UK, and France follow. You could say that other three countries are very much based on a platform of democratic socialism.
I'm for millions of solar roofs; microturbines and fuel cells with co-generation; and everyone's meter able to run backwards....and independence! Don't forget that word. The idea of selling a product that allows people to become more independent has a much broader appeal IMHO.
Honestly, if it wasn't for proliferation issues I would be all over this technology like a dog ready to hump. By why not nuclear FUSION? I've seen or heard little progress in its research. Sure, we've read about some technologies that can aid in the process but I have yet to read about them being applied right now. Why is it we don't have "Manhattan project" on a global scale using the worlds best scientists and engineers available to boot-strap with yet?
I admit I am naive and ignorant when it comes to fusion research. But I like many slashdotters would love to have these questions answered! Is there anything we can do in the public sector to help out? If computer modeled tests are needed and lack resources, why not someone like SETI design a distributed processing system?
To be fair, Ballmer at the very least is over zelous and passionate (and nutty). But, such behavior doesn't mean it transforms so easy into anger. I dunno, maybe the whole chair throwing thing is BS.:-/
It's you who started attacking me first. But when I did, I wasn't so vile about it. In fact, I have PROOF that liberals are full of hate and range. Check out this post. I exposed another hate-fill liberal for who they really are on Slashdot.
The whitehouse is made up of lawers run FOR lawers. They are the middle men between our freedoms, and it cost money to keep them in check. That money goes back into their pockets so they can leverage more power to ther lawer friends in the political arena.
As far as the law goes, do we really need it? Since when does the law stop people from breaking it? And if there was no law, would you start murdering, raping and pillaging? Why would anyone else?
It's a proven historical fact that crime is much higher in countries and societies of lawlessness. Personally, I find it disturbing...but there is no turning a blind eye to the truth. Remember, humans are animals too, some are just more civilized then others depending on whom you talk to.
Now, in a world of limited resource, one might say, well, the fact that Americans use more than their fair share means that Nigerians have less to go around, so Americans are impinging on Nigerians rights by being greedy resource hogs. If we didn't initiate force to keep our unfair access to resources, the Nigerians would be able to take what they need. So we are infringing on their rights, and they are just trying to redress the unfairness any way they can.
You failed Econ 101 didn't you. Because everyone knows that we do not live in a zero sum system. Resource are all over this planet, the problem is getting to them. The fact you blame this on America shows your utter lack of understanding an reason about the world we live in.
Note: If he we are living in a zero-sum game of resources, then we should still be cavemen to this day by that very argument.
Depends. Unless he loves programming games, I would be cautious about grooming him for thie job in the future. By the time he finishes college and looks for a job, that market may already be saturated. Think of the IT market in the late 90s. It was gold-rush.
Something to think about: Do you which people made a profit durring the gold rush? It was stores selling the equipment. Very little actually turned out a profit digging for gold.

I dunno. The Media Encoder 9 is pretty cool. And it's free....
A physical virus is much "alive" as a mathmatical virus (such as the kind floating around the internet).
More like "spooky". How can something not seen have such a slingshot effect on an orbiting star.
Like a said...spooky

Couldn't they have just burned the sail and let it burn down the rest of the ship? As I know, cloth burns much better then wood ;)

Note that most of the crime in the US is based on auto-theft, assult, and rape. Yet it's the poor countries that lead the way in murder.

...for Time Warner, which owns CNN, to charge a premium if I want to watch Fox News on my computer.
Utter BS. I live in Austin, TX whom TimeWarner is my ISP. As such, I watch streaming video on Fox News website all the time.
Way to go!!! Spread the FUD baby! *sigh*

The whitehouse is made up of lawers run FOR lawers. They are the middle men between our freedoms, and it cost money to keep them in check. That money goes back into their pockets so they can leverage more power to ther lawer friends in the political arena.
Note: this applies to BOTH parties!
Wow, sounds a lot like our current system of healthcare. Anyone want to guess WHY it's so freaking expensive?
As far as the law goes, do we really need it? Since when does the law stop people from breaking it? And if there was no law, would you start murdering, raping and pillaging? Why would anyone else?

Check out Spuns post history. He's a flaming angry liberal. He fit's the classic American profile of a liberal.
Sorry for my harsh post folks, but truth must be said. Judge for youself before modding me please.
