As divers know, if you reduce the pressure, bubbles will form. An easy way to do this in a glass of champagne, or beer for that matter, is to toast with your good (or not so good) friend by touching the top of his glass with the bottom of yours.
The champagne in your glass with be compressed on impact, and no bubbles will form. The glass on the bottom will experience an explosive decompression in the liquid, and instantly foam up with little left to drink to the amusement of the whole party except for the unfortunate one.
This takes very little force if executed correctly: Both glass and liquid are quite stiff. An impact of 10cm/sec will easily cause a g-load of the bottom glass in the range -2g to -4g. This will of course result in negative pressure in the liquid, and bubbles will form instanty. The liquid will soon be back to normal pressure, and many of the bubbles cavitate, causing additional local pressure waves.
From the article: quoting IAVRT co-founder Chistopher Scully:...IAVRT is overseeing the registration of Neuronet domain names, the group said. Trademark holders can get an early start from February 5 to June 1; the general public is set to get access after June 4...
and...Funds raised from the sale of network domain names will offset the considerable costs associated with the creation of the network...
If this is not the definition of vapornet, I do not know what is. I wonder who are that easy to fool and will pay the registration fee.
Some paid SCO a license fee for Linux, so they might have a customer base here.
I would like to just suggest a link to Roland Piquepailles blog somewhere where those who are interested can click. And *no more articles please*
I read/. to get real news and facts, and see discussions from people with insight. Roland Piquepailles submissions has not met this criterium. Did this article tell you what lies under greenlands ice?
You should mod this up if you agree or mod away as flamebait/offtopic/troll if you dont agree, but at least mod it.
notify the RIAA that the defendant has copyrighted 1. all data on the computer that are not copyrighted by others. 2. copyrighted the file structure, file names and everything else
Notify them that any copying of this data violates the rights of the defendant
File a complaint against the RIAA if they have copied materials copyrighted by the defendant.
I have a 2.5GHz P4 with 1GB of memory and 4 HDD as well as two 21" CRT monitors.
After 10 minutes in sleep mode it all consumes 5W.
1. PC It runs 24/7, and consumes 43kWh or $6 a year. 2. Clothes drier runs 6 hours a week at 4kW thats 416kWh or $60 a year
3. PC when CPU doing actual work sucks 147W thats 1300kWh or $206 a year. When I discovered this, I immediately disabled the protein folding project my PC was participating in.
It is pretty much only in the US download for personal use is not only illegal, but punished with draconian law. In (much of) the rest of the world it is legal.
Flying an aircraft is a lot easier than driving a car. It is actually pretty easy to automate as well. Most aircraft has autopilots that allow the pilot to just enter the destination, and the autopilot flies the entire route and pattern. see http://www.garmin.com/products/gns530/ for example.
An example of a very good UI is between the brain and the body. Just watch a tennis player or a downhill skier. This is certainly much more complicated than flying a 747, and still the athlete often find it easy; "in the zone".
Basically, a UI that completely vanishes is a good UI. If you know it is there it is not a good UI.
The author of the article is generally wrong on many of the bullet items. A computer system *should* be as easy to interact with as a door handle, a stone, or a glass of water. That it is more complicated is just because it is still in its infancy.
All the electricity these gadgets consume is turned into heat, so in the cold season, they are completely free. Every watt they use results in one watt less used to heat the house.
The same goes for lightbulbs and any other electric appliance except the ones that heat the outside (like the clothes drier)
On the other hand, if you run the A/C for a long time in the summer, you pay twice for the electricity these gadgets use. First when the gadget turns it into heat, secondly when the A/C pumps the heat out of the house.
Trying to force someone to share sourece code is always almost impossible. Even if they share it, it will probably be a different version, some modules will not have the same version as others, and you can never build a good image.
Just look at how well MS has "shared" their source as mandated.
Only when the producer genuinely tries to make it work is it possible, and even then often a challenge. I can only imagine trying set up a full (top secret)developmnent environment and to build a complete set of images for multiple proprietary, top secret targets.
And if there is a flaw in your build, you dont hang a PC, all your jets crash and burn.
...enormous electric fields (over 100 billion electron volts/meter)...
I think normal matter like the iron my Toyota is made from has the same field strenght near the nucleus. Anything less, and the car would fall apart. Not sure what is so enourmous about it.
North korea claims they have a high speed nationwide network, but that they can not connect it to the internet since USA dominates it.
The official webpage of north korea is: www.voiceofkorea.org
You can contact a representitive here: DPRK@voiceofkorea.org
I actually offered them to install a wifi link for free from Seoul to Pyongyang. Here is the response:
=========== Hi
I deeply appreciate your advices.
However, we can not use the facility of South Korea at this time because the two governments did not yet agree for this project.
You are absolutely right that good communication can often overcome suspicion and disagreement.
I will forward your message to the concerned ministry of DPRK government, and I will inform you when I get response. I will also tell you if any DORK company is interested in developing such project with you.
This is a sad but unfortunately maybe the most effective use.
$100M may spent in Washington on lawmakers may help change copyright laws altogether. Maybe a 100:1 return on investment compared to buying copyrighted work.
Use the money to lobby for copyright law similar to how it was in 1920: 14 years after the work was done.
Every year since then, it has increased with at least a year, so no work copyrighted since 1923 has ever seen its copyright expire. (Think Disney here)
Lets start allowing copyrights expire like they should.
You may think the leaders of the great companies are exceptional and unique people. You are very wrong. They are just like you, for good and bad. The insight into HP has revealed this quite well. They are probably a little arrogant and eloquent, but you will quickly get that in a matter of a year.
So why do they have millions of $$ and all the perks and you little? A large part is chance.
Assuming you are reasonably competent with a good attitude, you will surely be a project manager. With success, you will oversee all projects in your division, and then probably become division manager. Now, if your division is successfull, you will be promoted fast to corporate leadership, and again, now you need success of the whole corporation to get further, and with that you will quickly run the company.
You can at any time, and you should, jump ship, and continue the career for a new company, just like playing frogs.
The catch in all this is simple: Luck and Selection. If your first project is a failure, your career stops. It does not matter what the reason was. This is true all the way, so:
1. Only work for a company that sells what you do. Only than can you reach the top. An IT guy in a hospital will never run the hospital. Physicians will. 2. Only pick sure successes. 3. Jump ship if neccessary, and do it early. Dont ride a failure to the bottom.
The HP managers just lucked out on the above due to good times or other random global events, and managed not to screw up early on.
I keep posting the "Friends dont let friends buy Sony" comment on most Sony related articles.
I now wonder if Sony are monitoring me. They certainly are modding these posts flaimbait consistently. Are they going through my thrash, and obtaining my phone records as well?
Anyway I boldly repeat here again: Much of the money you spend buying Sony gear goes to support anti consumer efforts from DRM, Infected CD's, Unusable due to DRM Blu-Ray HD-DVD. They may actually help kill the entire HD DVD effort.
Fellow/.ers, help me fight aganst the evil Sony agents and mod this up.
YouTube probably should follow the law. They are quite exposed as it is. In the US today, consumers have lost almost all fair use rights, and and copyright law have gotten quite draconical and exclusively favoring the copyrightholder aganst the common good. Both democrats and republicans are receiving generous financial support from companies like Disney, and are *solidly* on the side of copyright holders against consumers and fair use.
So battle must be fought in Washington by supporting and electing officials that will turn the tide in favor of consumers and the common good.
There seems, however, to be almost NIL interest in this issue in the general population, so dont expect this to change in the near future.

You can easily try this at home yourself. Just disable the safety switch on your microwave, and run it with the door open.
You can induce up to a kW in things like forks and aluminium foil.
It even warms up my hands and head on the inside while I hold my devices near the oven.

I worked on 40Gb/s over single channel back in 1998. One of the (many) challenges was clock distribution in the transcievers.
At 107Gb/s a bit is less than 2mm long. Would be interesting to know how they solve the clock skew issues.

The lie detector is a bunch of worthless nonsense. And as soon as you realize this, you will easily defeat it.
If you however believe it works accurately, and the result can result in severe punishment, it works great on you.
A sucessfull politician is a good example of how easy it is to defeat a lie detector. They can lie all day, and maybe even believe in the it themself.

Just trying some humor. If you dont get it, just step away from the computer for a while, read a good book and try agan.
TrueKrypt Foundation has a good stable and open source package.
