gee everyone's tried this so why not the mouse. the look will have problems, most kids don't remember mickey. They know blue and bear but not the mouse. But maybe disney can partner it with some video deal and sell millions of them wired only to connect to disney.com thru a disney ISP and break even.

umm.. well if you knew the rest of the story you'd shut up. I will say that that one did get the medias attention, but behind the scenes was a totally different world. I don't know whats allowed to be said so I won't say more than "you never say behind the curtain".
having done work in that area, it's pretty much a standing rule, the secret sevice takes over all security when present in the US. At the olympics in Ga 1996 they had special badges and ALL security was told to stay out of their way and follow the orders from them above any other orders you may get.
Okay I have been to classes from the D.O.E. on this area, I also have training from the army on the effects and plotting contamination of nuke's. My biggest laugh here is this, Everyone is scared about the waste. The waste is what is no longer usable at the site, YOU TOTALLY skipped the inbound shipment. the inbound is what is usable to this process and the most dangerous. I die laughing that the government can ship it in no problems but is than forced by groups to stock pile the less dangerouse waste at the site when done using it.
well lets see here a nuke at ground zero vaporizes the body, you are the radioactive fallout. Beyond ground zero you get radiation doses... get weak and tired and die in 3 weeks but you just needa shower for medical workers to touch you again.
Now smallpox is a very bad virus, symptoms documented here http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/EID/vol5no4/henderson.ht m
Twelve to 14 days after infection, the patient typically becomes febrile and has severe aching pains and prostration. Some 2 to 3 days later, a papular rash develops over the face and spreads to the extremities (Figure 1). The rash soon becomes vesicular and later, pustular (Figure 2). The patient remains febrile throughout the evolution of the rash and customarily experiences considerable pain as the pustules grow and expand. Gradually, scabs form, which eventually separate, leaving pitted scars. Death usually occurs during the second week.
The big problem here is that you die about a week after you spread it to someone. "Despite routine vaccination in Yugoslavia, the first case in the 1972 outbreak resulted in 11 others; those 11, on average, each infected 13 more."
I am no expert but I want to take a try at this... The big problem is that they use a large portion of HF bands, not only hams are affected but also other services that just simple use the freq. a good example of this is a repeater locally, it operates on the 2 meter band (147.37Mhz) allowing the tornado spotters to monitor storms. The city police have a tower nearby on a private freq (155.35) the hams go up there 4 times a year testing the ANT the coax wire and the radios. The police check thier system rarely. The hams started having a problem of hearing police calls from their repeater (the police used 20 watts the hams had 150 watts) so a city police calls are now being heard 2 countiees away on a freq the police arn't allowed to use. The hams tried to help the police only to be ignored it took a formal complaint to the FCC to get the police to consider looking at their ant. they didn't have the equipment and refused to get the hams to help. They spent $10,000 for a gentleman from the FCC to bring a large box up to the police ant to say yes the coax was bad (the hams had a $10 machine used on their system). More disappointing was that over the 6 months time they argued with the hams, they burned up the amplifier and the radio they used for the tower. If they had listened and talked with the hams it would have costed ~$50 in coax, instead it was about $4500 of new radio gear to replace what had been distroyed.
The BPL using a wider freq can interfere with not only ham radio but police, fire ambulance and other emergency service. I understand frustrations towards the hams for blocking this but on the other foot the hams did create the ideas of wireless networking (packet radio) and many other features we all enjoy today.
A bigger question to me is do we thow out all old things to make way for progress i.e. we have microwaves now, should we get rid of stoves/ovens/charcoal grills? after all they are old tech.
A final good point would be the international Space Station, did you know the only communication they get besides NASA is thru a ham radio on board and they often use it to talk to schools answering childrens questions about life in space. In fact if you have a scanner you can listen to them also. While BPL would be a step faster for internet access, I hope we will watch what we do to get there, after all in order to get faster speeds on CPU's we now have to spend more money cooling them than we do to operate them. The ARRL just happened to be the only voice that had a trained mind in the area of HF just like my local police Dept. the Hams are tring to help out more than themselves being the only trained people in that area.
On a side note did you know that a PCMCIA wireless card on your lap can cause cancer later in life http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Engineering_Technology/ Documents/bulletins/oet65/oet65b.pdf
or at least cook the muscle just like a microwave oven.
when I bought my house I converted over to those things.. saved $20 a month. Down side I started replaceing some of the bulbs after only 1 year of use and at $10 a bulb it seemed odd that with ~40 lights I only saved $20 a month but spent about the same in bulb replacement after 4 years.
umm your not realted to Michael Schumacher are you? I only ask cause your whole post is (now mind you I'm tring to be helpfully here) but it is just a little biased maybe?
in Dos 6.22 they atempted to run an AV product, it was a lackluster but freebie included in the DOS install. Unfortunantly they are still extremly slow releaseing new virus signatures for this product (I am still waiting for a new one against code red...). I hope this product will push them to seperate from the OS but I know it will hook into the OS and bind making other competators products fail to install (ala. the netscape/real player issues).
>Why is this relevant? I hardly think that Bush is qualified to say what the soldiers need. Kerry, however, knows the importance of a bullet proof vest due to his experience.
As a 12 year vetran of army (medical discharge) 10 of which was infantry, Kerry scares the hell out of me. I say this based on his medeal where "under fire he beaches his boat and charges an enemy RPG gunner with his pistol" That act shows me complete abandon and recklessness in his responsibilities to protect the boat, his crew, and the mission. To beach the boat, leave it, and charge a guy, that he just had to tell the machine gunner or even grab the machine gun and shoot with his boat offshore and away from potential boarders.. Well it was stunts like that that got infantry officers shot in the back.
I have done this, and enjoy it. I bought a rack mount router from Imagestream and from there started down the road. I found 20U (36") racks at woodwind and brasswind music store (wwbw.com) for $99 and bought cases from Ebay for $75 each, some had backplanes (used) others didn't but had adapters for ATX motherboards. I spent the extra money (~$200) for quad segragated backplanes and can run 4 Computers in a 4U case with drives and all. I went quad cause most SBC'es now have everything you need on them, (my AA server need a sound card but every other device needed was on it) for gaming just dig up a PCI video card that has some good spec's. I now have 2 30U's and am looking for a few more to continue with (1 rack does dual duty as both my HAM radio rack, and holds a computer for the new software control programs) the 4U cases use standard power supplies (ATX) hold standard drives (5 1/4 and 3.5" bays) and most have an adapter allowing a standard motherboard or the backplane/SBC combo that is common in industrial setups (I have both types in my network) My gaming machine is a 4U with a standard biostar motherboard in fact the only thing different about it is the case being rack mounted and having 5 fans. so go for it!
It will always be a hard call, for the consol there is no driver upgrades and patches or security risks (yet) but the PC has more keys for more control over the game and the ability to add/change the game. For the games to change on the consol they have to take long periods of time to develop (Final Fantasy). For the computer they must be online for updates and downloads (America's Army). Both games have advantages and play great however the question will be do we want to buy new titles often or download new updates. The addition of a hard drive may help some for the consols but the PC will still have the larger control set. I guess the best hardware for the game depends really on the game after all doom got boring until new maps where made, but not having to search for drivers in order to play Final Fantasy made it fun too.
This is a very good discription of my experiance. I have tried to run linux on 6 different systems, the last attempt was to run debian with KDE as an America's Army game server. I spent 3 days tring to get the vibra 16 sound card config'ed alone (found no icons in system and kept fighting to understand where the "config sound card" file is), than it was the network setup with samba, till I finally gave up and just started to install the game. Game downloaded and installed okay, however all documentation said to edit server.ini file. Couldn't find server.ini and this being 3 weeks into the server build said forget it - 2 days later it was running the game, a teamspeak server, and hosting a web page - on win 2K. If the linux desktop would become easier to config and change drivers I would stay with linux, instead I spend to much time searching for how to do something instead of getting it done.
personaly I only have 2 maybe 3 shows... and they are local network stuff (J.A.G., N.C.I.S., and scrubs) the first two are navy crime shows (hey the navy has values i can at least feel comfortable with) the last scrubs is a good comedy... the rest...well a game sounds better and has more appeal, besides I don't think scripted reality shows are anything less than false advertising.
"Technology with little or not testing or technology used out of the bounds of design are destined to have higher degrees of error."
As a former infantry soildier I know this is all grunts do, grab something and modify it to do something else...look at all the duct tape on the weapons and gear...
I agree and find it odd that for my Class A CDL lic to drive semi (lowery in britian) I have to preform a 117 point inspection and log it and virfy/sign it before releasing the brakes. For the army I had a 23 page inspection list to follow. If you can't get in to look at it how do you know it is safe to operate?
"God Created the heavens and the earth"... the bible doesn't tell us everything. For Example when cain kills able we only know of those two men, but after the murder cain moves to a city and marries... The Bible just points us in a direction/goal for us to try to achive much like budda's perfection. You can go anyway you want.
I got hurt 2 years ago and am not allowed to drive semi's anymore.. my back up career was a computer hardware tech. I'm in production at a router maker now...
I watched when my Kenworth T600 was in the shop, thay hooked up a system the size of a laptop and had a complete report from speed to RPM's to brake use and pressure. It even showed air pressure to the suspension giving them an idea of how much weight was on each axle. Combined with the qualcomm on board they knew within 3 feet where and what I was doing every 15 min. with the company truck.

What remains still controversial are the military plans for the use of this vast arsenal.

The envisioned plan was for an apocalyptic war: a nuclear attack followed by a follow-up biological strike. It is worth quoting Dr. Tucker: "Soviet military doctrine for strategic biological warfare called for delivering massive quantities of contagious agents against urban targets to cause panic and social disruption, overwhelm the enemy's medical system, and spawn widespread epidemics that would be impossible to control." Among the agents that would play a key role was the smallpox virus: "Smallpox biological weapons were intended for use against U.S. cities in a war of total mutual annihilation, with the aim of killing the survivors in the aftermath of a nuclear exchange."
