...or it could also be deployed as a pop-up screen during software installation.
So if I were to hold down shift, copy it off of the CD/DVD, and then send it to the Taliban I would get thrown in jail for DMCA violation, copyright infringement, and "funding" a terrorist. That would make for a Bad Day; good thing I'd have a lawyer watching out for my rights...er, damnit!
If I counted correctly, that's 257 deviations between all three parts.
Could this guy have, instead, spent the time starting his own software company or something? Certainly would be more productive than photoshopping The Ring on GW Bush's finger...
While I'm thinking about it, my car could use some detailing and all the mountain dew cans in my room could be taken back to the store. Think this guy will do it all for a copy of LotR:RotK extended DVD when it comes out?
Someone sues me and wastes my time (the more important part) and money then you betcha I'd sue back. Although it sounds Jon is just demanding and not suing.
I hope this isn't considered a surprise...to anyone.
Commercial drivers (aka semi trucks) already have to log the miles traveled in each state such that each gets their share of the tax from the gas. This is not a new idea so stop treating it as such.
The only problem is that you can't get the average driver to use their turn signals let alone record their miles in each state. And since the fuel economy varies too much for non-commercial vehicles it's not worth the effort (where as one semi won't be all that much different than another).
The concept of jailing is not new. HP's linux employs a similar mechanism (they call it compartments) and NSA's SELinux does something similar but I don't know what they call it.
Linux has taken this step already and it wasn't the first...
Perhaps you should have read dougmc's post (the one I replied to). He was implying that you have to reduce quality to reduce size. I'm not saying that we should zip a dvd, but that you can "zip" a dvd and still get dvd quality by "unzipping" it.
You don't HAVE to use a 747 to get the same payload as a 747...
Merely having a spiffy new codec won't change that simple equation:)
Actually, it's called lossless compression. I point out zip and rar files as cases in point. I wouldn't want to zip my dissertation if it wasn't lossless....
I'm currently working on building my own ethernet based mp3 player. Using minimal hardware, I can get it to fit on a 3" x 5" notecard and have analog, two digital coaxial (both isolated), and one digital optical outputs. Total cost is about $150 (buying each part in single quantities and excluding labor costs). This only means that all of these mp3 players are jacking consumers.....
Contacts and glasses merely focus the image on the retina correctly. In fact, the intended goal is to correct the imperfections so that things are more in focus like "normal" eyes that don't need them. If someone didn't wear the contacts when they should have, the blood vessel pattern would merely be out of focus.
That's the wrong way to look at comparing LEDs and typical bulbs. LEDs last *much* longer which means your lumens per dollar is not valid.
A better measure would be dollar per bulb * bulbs per year = dollars per year.
As well all know, LEDs last many, many times longer.
If you want to compare LEDs and light bulbs, the lux (lumens per watt) would be the better comparison.
A 100 watt GE soft white light bulb puts out 1690 lumens. An ultra high intensity LED puts out 44 lumens at 1.0325 watts. Granted you need ~97 of these guys to match 100 watts, but you get 4400 lumens...2.6 times that of a standard 100 watt bulb. The only problem right now is that you need 97 of them instead of 1. LEDs are superior, but not in all categories--yet.:)
It's strange. While the power industry progresses, the telecom industry goes in the direction of the power industry's history. Apparently FCC has never heard of the old adage of "He who does not learn from history is doomed to repeat it."
So what's the point of this article? This article makes me ask more questions than it answers. It's essentially two pages worth of "switch to WIMAN or 802.11a" and is out dated...
Plus, as has been pointed out a million times, a 'jammer' is a device which drowns out a signal by emitting a much more powerful signal of its own, not by magically making the other signal go away. If RF waves give you cancer, the jammer will give you cancer faster.
Far from true!
Cell phones, wireless ethernet, etc. follow a protocol. A jammer can either drown out the signal by sheer means of power or it could break the protocol. If you were talking into a microphone, I could stand next to the microphone and yell and no one would hear you even if you keep talking. Now if you were talking into a microphone and the rule is that you have to stop speaking when I speak, then I simply have to keep repeating "hi" and you can't speak. I don't follow the protocol, but you do so you don't get to speak.
As far as a real-life example goes, I could sit next to a wireless access point and constantly disassociate everyone just after they associate. I don't need jigawatts of power to do it.
Sending material to space is not cheap, so Criswell has studied lunar rocks collected during the Apollo mission years and determined that 90 percent of the aluminum, silicon and glass needed to build solar power plants can be found on the moon.
Let me get this straight. He wants to build a semiconductor manufacturing plant like the ones Intel owns.......but on the moon......that cost $2 billion.......
No wonder why this guy has been pitching this for 20 years without a bite.
Let's see, you can buy 21.5% efficient dual-junction GaInP/GaAs solar cells for $10 each or $17.44 per watt. $2 billion will buy ~115 megawatts worth of power. Save some money for infrastructure and overhead, so 100 megawatts worth of power. To obtain 100 megawatts of power, one would have to buy 174.4 million solar cells which will cover 465,067 square meters. I don't have the link to the NREL site handy, but let's assume that you can get 15 kilowatt-hours per square meter per day which yields 6,976 megawatt-hours of energy per day. At $0.07 per kilowatt-hour, that's $488,320 worth of energy per day.
Now, how many homes do you think you can power off of 6,976 megawatt-hours or $488,320 worth of energy in a single day? Now this guy claims an initial project of $15 billion and then another $135 billion to make it break even. My scenario is for $2 billion. Take that by a factor of 75 and you get 523,200 megawatt-hours worth of energy per day or $36 million worth of energy. Let's subtract the lack of pointing 7,500 megawatts worth of microwave radiation (the same as ~11 million 700 watt microwave ovens on simultaneously) at the Earth and do a risk analysis. Yup, this guy is a lunatic.
As far as prices of PV's go, they're cheaper than you're leading on to and they are decreasing. I think $0.03 per watt-hour is the magic number to beat out coal and I think PV's are at around $0.05 per Whr right now.
And there's only the need for initial pumping if a closed-system is developed.
Considering the article gives mention by "and sea water", the rest of the article is not about using water. I, in particular, do not take they're statement as true without a reference or link to somewhere that shows it to be "expensive". I therefore did not "learn" that is it expensive because I see no reason to believe them and cannot without a more specific reference than "Scientists have discovered..." Which specific scientists? Where do they specifically work? Are they experts in terms of extracting H2 from sea water? How can I learn with so many unaswered questions?!
Tell me where the huge expense comes in:
Pump sea water
Filter it by means of evaporation under sun light
Separate into H2 and O2 by means of electrolysis through the use of photovoltaics
"...vast quantities of hydrogen stored in the Earth's crust..."
I can think of four other locations of "vast quantities of hydrogen": Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, and Artic...
Problem solved: ocean water -> filter water -> electrolysis by solar power -> storage of H2 and O2 -> power fuel cells -> repeat but use the water from the fuel cell instead of ocean water.
What? The frequency of the light is independent of the size of the die. The light is shining *down* on the die. I fail to see any relevance in your post...
Basically, the speed of propogation will become a key factor in design. Registers between pipeline stages won't be *necessary* as the speed keeps increasing as the VLSI people can count on the speed of propogation (ie use the signal propogation in the chip as the register).
While on this whole thing of using computers to make computers. Does Intel use their own pentium chips to run their chip making machines? I'm sure those machines don't need MMX or anything, so they probably step down to microcontrollers, but the question still stands...
Maybe we should move the AAFUG server to Colorado and sue the greekcentral people. $10/email * 125 emails = nice sum of cash for our group.:) Colin Burnett
