No, most nuclear weapons do the most damage when detonated off the ground. This allows much more surface area of the heat and pressure to hit a certain target, instead of re-directing some of it.Yes I know it will still blow the hell of of things:) but mid air detonation is the most damaging. From what I understand of nuclear explosions if they are detonated near the ground they blast radius will increase and destroy more buildings/people above ground. A mid air (50 to 250 feet I think) will cause more of a crater and destroy fortified underground targets.
Your entire post is dedicated to saying the submitter was wrong because MS can afford to make less money, and I'm with you on the plane ticket and cost of cert on that but this part is the one you should have read a bit more.
"...but I can say that the support we get from Microsoft is superior, and less expensive," Daher said. "Microsoft always comes to our door, they bring demo units, keep us in touch with their engineers, and certification for our people costs only $2000 each, on-site. Red Hat wants $5,000 a person and we have to fly our people to Durham, [N.C.]."
If you'll notice he's talking about price as well as quality, and how they are treated by MS. I always shop at small stores when I can (hey if you need anything late at night and in a hurry walmart is handy) But when a small shop treats me worse AND charges more money they'll not see me again.
Sorry for the atrocious spelling and grammar been up WAY to long.
This is actually low grade tracking hardware by Military standards, you gotta think if they tell us about having a plan that has a radar cross section the size of a bird, they can most likely track a marble size object at a couple hunderd or thousand miles.
So just being able to sense movement at shitty resolution, and distance wouldn't be that attractive.
Maybe I'm the only one but I don't really care that much about echelon.
I just have this feeling that no matter what I do someone out there will be watching these days. Given that I'd rather put all my efforts into stopping something that is DEFINATELY harmful to you rather then annoying that someone somewhere is reading my email. If all the people who don't have any secrets that NEED to be protected put their efforts toward say stopping drunk drivers, or spam I believe our quality of life would go up much more than Echelon may be brining it down.
I mean hell maybe they'll use this for good and stop the next two crazy guys who wanna blow up A building full of workers and their kids, or stop some guy from molesting that 12 year old girl who doesn't know not to give her address to people on the net.
I would have to say not even a small ISP like the one I work at would be able to use this quite well. Its not uncommon to see over 1500 emails from one spammer go through our server, I would verymuch like to sue for 15 grand once or twice a month.:) Granted not all of them will result in payments but even a 1 out of 4 success rate would more than cover legal fee's.
It would be even better if you could magnetically hold the vortext a certain distance from the laser handle, that way you wouldn't have to worry about the stick getting caught on something if the laser didn't cut fast enough:)
It crashed twice after I started it. First, I went to www.logitech.com and it crashed in necko.dll. Restarted, went to www.logitech.com and crashed in mscvrt.dll. Restarted, went to www.logitech.com and it worked fine. The crashes I don't mind too much, as long as they are predictable.:) Check boxes still don't check. -snip-
Hmmm actually thats kind of on the low end. I work for a small ISP (small enough to where me and one other person take care of all our servers) and I personally wouldn't have a server running less than 256 mg of ram. Most of our servers are running a Gig or more, with p3 600's, and thats only because Xeon's are just way high for what they do. Server configuration is like security. I'd much rather overdo it then not have enough:)
On another note I'd like to see some info/benchmarks on running a Beowulf cluster vs. Nt on some outlandish xeon sytem:)
I'm kinda un-informed in this field, but how can you say one will beat another, even marginally when there are no benchmarks, or anything really out about the new chip.
I run a couple of printers here at work off of USB, they are all Epson Stylus 740's and the time it takes them to print is easily cut in half, or a quarter of Lpt1. I'll never run another printer off the Printer port if I can help it.
It was partially decifered *sp its early:)*. Some of the keys were known, through nazi documents (ala the submarine) and some through them British efforts. Also each of the Nazi branches had their own version of enigma. The US never had the code fully known until after the war.
If you want a reply so badly and think your so important, why not let us all know who you are so we can celebrate your wonderfulness. Bleh on AC posting I say:)
Especially red hats, I went with the custome install, the first time I tried installing, it by default didn't install lilo, the second time I saw why there is a base packages section which for some reason none of the packages were selected. They included lilo, chmod, chown, find, just about all the basic commands. I don't know if its just this one disc (and yep its from Red Hat, not downloaded and burnt) but it was quite irritating especially when you can't use the keyboard to quickly select packages, and while you can group select the packages with the mouse, you can't mark them all for installation. Once again I'm considering not dual booting. And not not with linux/w*98 I had redhat/debian. The more "adnvanced" redhat gets the more debian appeals to me. If I wanted a pretty os that didn't work I'd go with windows.
How in the world you haven't been moterated into oblivion I don't know. But anyways
>talking arrogantly of things they don't know about which is after all not surprising
Thats a good one for yourself I'd say while we americans aren't perfect we can find out country on a globe, our state too and most likely a fairly good indication of our hometown's location also.
Ya it sucks but it happens. I doubt to many blind people worked in a factory during the industrial revolution. But I also know my fiance's father who is blind as can be, still programs and works on unix systems making the same if not more then the people working around him because of his knowledge. Heck maybe he should sue ABC because he can't watch TV, and see infomercials.
Actually where I live an ISDN line is the same price as a normal line. There is a 100 dollar setup fee for the big gutted phone employee's to come put it in but after that is the same price rate for a single channel.
I don't know to much about the inner workings of a palm pilot the deepest I've ever peered is upgrading the 512K to a 2 meg card but I am wondering if it would be possible to replace old processors like the one in mine with the newer ones, and if so what all would it entail to do?
Incest taboo????? I might have missed part of the thread here but there is a social acceptance of incest in MANY MANY cultures, mainly so it could keep royal blood lines "pure".

Wow... an insightful 5 for nothing but rewording the article.

errrr I mean air bag
HELL YA! :)
Finally a first post with class :)

decided to postpone the release of v4 everytime
someone asked them about it?

None hehehe thats the point

It can replace a pager. 3com has a pager card you can buy to put in palms.
