Ever designed a system like you're proposing? That's one complicated, heavy, unreliable, expensive mofo you're talking about there.
Cars of the future are bound to be single-feuled. Just like today's cars are.
Take a history lesson, we've had cars with batteries before. They were quite popular untill the internal combusion engine took over.
I, for one, am a firm believer in H2 as the next power source. Hybrid cars are an expensive band-aid to trade cost for effeciency. There is nothing revolutionary about hybrid cars, and only a big technological step (like H2) cause serious industry wide change.
Your example is a little off.[br]
[i]Yet he just assumes that he's allowed to help himself to whatever is there.[/i][br]
There is nothing missing here. It's as if the guy strolled into your house, enjoyed the AC (assuming it's summer) for a while, then left without touching anything.[br]
While I agree that I would not want him in my house enjoying the AC, the law is quite clear that if you gave no notice that he was not allowed in, that he is not tresspassing. If there was any notice, if he even had to open a door, then it could be breaking and entering (yes opening a closed door is B&E). But if it's all open, then it's nothing at all. It becomes tresspassing when you tell him to leave (verbal or by sign) and he remains.
Most Gasoline car engines will run on Kerosene just fine until you punch the gas, and the knock blows the engine. Just because it "usually works" does not mean it's compatible or is meant to work.
Very true, I'm just worried about people trying to build more complicated projects, based on this one.
I don't want people assuming that phones are the same all over the world, most people wouldn't think twice that a North American phone wouldn't work in Europe, and vice-versa.
I just want to warn everyone that he is in the Netherlands. I know it's not exactly revelant to this project, but telephone standards are fairly different in the USA and Canada.
We use 48v @ 20Hz to ring. On Hook is 52v at 300 to 1800 ohms. Off hook is 12v at 680 ohms (ideal).
Your link is barely more than a long rant. The examples given apply to 1% of internet mail users. Most of the examples are such extreme exceptions to the norm that I would have no qualms with blocking them alltogether.
I understand what SMTP was designed to be, but that was what the internet needed 20 years ago. What we need now has changed. SMTP can still work, just not entirely as it was designed; and SPF is a step in the right direction.
How can you say SPF fixes nothing? Numerous examples have been given of how SFP can help alot. Phisher are one good example. Many of the virii that went around last summer would have been stoped by SPF and were on the networks I admin (those virii that use from admin@yourdomain.com, "run this program please")
SPF Records and Filters need to be configured correctly to be effective. But critisizing SPF because it breaks antiquated "features" of SMTP is no excuse to totally reject it.
I see a deep schism growing in the processor industry. There are two main camps, the parallel processors, and the screemin single processors.
The parallel are used for intense processing. Research, servers, clusters, databases; anything that can be divided into many little jobs and run in parallel.
The other camp is the average user who just wants fast respons time and to play Doom 3 at 100+ fps.
eMachines are pieces of shit. I have never seen one "run like a champ". The few I have seen came with 64 or 128 megs of ram (barely enough to boot Windows;), a 10 GB HD (when others were including 40 as a minimum); and yester-year's processors that wholesalers are trying to dump. Even then you couldn't get one for less than ~$400.
You assume his library is of books. What about CDs or other media? Maybe he's useing the cats for an automated storage and retireval systems based on bar codes on the media? What do you have to say about that now!?
I second your comment. I'm the only IT guy at my company. More and more people ask me questions which contain quasi-technical words they've learned. The words are usualy misused; exclusively because of a lack of understanding the technology.
It seems to be a building problem in our modern society. People don't want to be 'left behind' technologically. So they use words (or worse phrases) when they don't know what they mean. Maybe this is a replacement for the Business Buzz Words of the 90s: See the Bullshit Generator.
The RFID tags for Tetris, and this story I'll bet, are good examples for word misuse.
Even with that lowest price guarantee there may be a loophole, you always have to read how it is enforced.
One of the travel sites (don't remember right now) has a low price guarantee, but the guarantee is that they will beat anyone else's price if you find a lower one. This does NOT mean the their price is the lowest; even though it's advertised as a low price guarantee.
The real problem here is that they are guaranteeing nothing to begin with. Just that they will act competitively when compared against another business. Any business should do this (within reason).
I am pretty sure that in some places (nationwide now?) 911 service is mandatory
Very few places require 911 service. Look on your bill, if you get charged directly for 911 then it will probably not work once the phone is disconnected. If you have a 911 recovery fee then it probably will work (recovery for what the gov is making them provide).
SSNs are give out to hospitals in blocks, similar to how phone companies are assigned numbers.
The first 3 digits, as you know, are a state code. The next 2 are block codes.
Large hospitals may be assigned a whole block; but this is unusual. They usually get much smaller blocks, 100 or 500 is much more common.
County clerk offices also have blocks assigned to them for people who do not get a number at birth.
If you are in high school, ask your friends what hospital they were born at, and what the middle digits of their SSN are. You will almost certainly be able to find people who have match in xxx-yy numbers. If they were born particularly close (days appart), their zzzz numbers may be only a few different.
I've heard good things about Stratera. Other than that pure willpower goes a long way. Each person is different and I highly reccomend trying different treatments.
I don't take anythings now because of side effects and I detest relying on drugs..
I agree that Rit can be one hell of a downer when coming off it; I took it for years.
I modded it insightful, because it is deserving of such; or troll if it's untrue.
I am the one of the oldest in my family (including cousins and such). I was diagnosed with a learing disability in grade school. They put me in a special class with the dumb kids (no disrespect intended). I was a poor school without the resources to even come close to diagnosing me.
In middle school and high school they told me I had ADD and put me on Ridilin. It worked. Although looking back on it, it was probably the side effects of the drug, not the intended result really.
I'm years out of school now. But I have a younger sister that is emotionally impaired. She has gone through much more extensive study than they ever gave me. After years of generalizations one doc finally came up with Asperger's Syndrome.
About the same time several other people on my Dad's side of the family were diagnosed with simial problems. Two were even directly diagnosed with Aspergers. It's genetic, skipping most of the family members. And when it does hit, the severity can vary widely.
I am a rather mild case. My sister is quite sever. I have two 2nd cousins that are sever too. And a few more family members who obviously have some form of it.
My only wish is to educate the teachers in our school systems now. So they can regonize and adapt to children who have these problems. Let me tell you first hand that generally Aspergers makes school (and work) hell.
It's not all negative though (mostly it is). Hyperfocus is one side effect of both Aspergers and ADD (ADHD too). Hyperfocus is being interested in something so far as to ignore external stimilus . You don't feel hungry, tired, don't care about the time, or mild concequences of your actions. You are focused, almost to a fault.
An insanely quick overview for the ignorant: Aspergers is a type of Autism. General characteristics include social problems (no/few friends), disintrest in common things (sports for instance), and extreme intrest in other things (science usually). Commonly intrests are centered around scientific rules (systems like electricity, or computers, mechanical systems). Sometimes abstract rules are the intrest, commonly relationships (Soap Operas, and talk shows). See the Wiwipedia for much more information.
Yes. I admit that Darwin is a good example of a BSD based OS as a Desktop OS. But there have been many, and fairly extensive, changes to the base. Darwin may owe it's roots and much code to the BSDs, but it is not a direct derivative like this PC-BSD is.
The PC-BSD is the same as FreeBSD plus a graphical installer and KDE packaged in. I have not used it yet, so there may be other diferences. From the website it seems there isn't much else.
I have been using BSDs for a while now. They really aren't all that bad to use in the first place. They simply have a steep learning curve if you've never used them before.
Personally I don't think a "User Friendly" flavor of BSD is needed. What is needed is trained admins.
BSD is not meant at all for average joe; and selling it as such is misrepresenting the collective BSD OS. BSDs are powerful, stable, secure server and workstation OSes. NetBSD also runs good on your toaster.
That's wonderful. Now, 0.25 volts at how many AMPS??
Volts and Amps mean nothing without the other. Give me the number of Watts (Volts * Amps = Watts) per (pick a unit of Hydrogen) and I'll be much happier.

The serial ports on my computers (for the last several years) can do 1,152 Kbps; basically on par with Bluetooth.
I object on moral grounds, and always will.
BoG only works for metal pipe gas lines. Most new houses in the US get platic lines from the road to their meter.
The 200 watt amp CAN suck down that much power. It does not normally. And if it does, it's only for a few seconds, and the battery provides the power.
Doctors (their mistakes) are the 3rd leading cause of death in the USA.

This article is a little extreme. Almost half are due to unforseeable drug effects. But still, a good reason to doubt your doctor.
