    I thought "the inmdustry" had basicly stopped making new PC based games. Sure looks that way at my local retailer.

    this is like shadowrun becomming reality. these big businesses will basicly end up running these small towns.

    outlaw this bullshit NOW damnit or we're going to drown ourselves in red tape and bull shit lawsuits as far as the eye can see. This WILL destroy the American economy.

  11. Already is power on DSL lines... on IP Telephony Drives in Power over Ethernet · · Score: 1

    whats the point here? And PBX based "digital" phone lines pack more juice than a home line already. I don't like this 911 thing either... for 911 to work "right" they have to know right where you are right away... I don't like the idea of my IP being in a DB at the local cop shop 24x7x365, I know they can get it any time they want it now, but they have to take the trouble to go ask, this way, anyone in that call center has everyone in the area's IP addresses right in front of them constantly.

  12. they're talking about rebuilding POTS on IP Telephony Drives in Power over Ethernet · · Score: 1

    How about we run IP phones over modems on phone lines? Maybe if the telcos just had DSL to every home there wouldn't be an issue, then it would just be a matter of building the phones.

    should say: "When ANY Computrace-equipped system is connected to the Internet (built in LAN?, wifi?, what about others?), it automatically and silently sends locating data to Absolute Software" wtf? "locating data"? So can I really have a GPS reciver in a laptop case? If so can this locating data be used with google maps or some such other use?

  16. Re:Nano is not new on Nanotech Protests Begin · · Score: 1

    waaaaaaaa I don't have a car, I don't cook, and I'm helpless to stop using electricity. But I'm not really worried about nanoparticles either. Still, I'm sure we'll be making new kinds never seen before soon, would some kind of test be sooo much to ask?

    thats the near term risk, they're putting nano scale materials into consumer products with no idea what the long or even mid-term implications are.

  22. OK, here is how to do it... on NASA Offers Reward for Extracting O2 from Moondust · · Score: 1

    I've seen recently a plan to use small robots to turn moon dust into solar panels so electrical power should be plentiful. Use molecular dissociation in high energy plasma, such techniques could eventually lead to generalized device to break down any molecules into pure atmoic components. Here's a link to a paper on breaking O from SiO2. nice pure silicon in the offing too... the gold can be reused. http://www.iop.org/EJ/abstract/0022-3727/34/11/316 Evaluation of the composition, the pressure, the thermodynamic properties and the monatomic spectral lines at fixed volume for a SiO2-Ag plasma in the temperature range 5000-25 000 K W Bussière and P André Laboratoire Arc Electrique et Plasmas Thermiques, Université Blaise Pascal-CNRS, Phys. Bât. 5, 24 Avenue des Landais, F 63177 Aubiere Cedex, France Received 11 October 2000 Print publication: Issue 11 (7 June 2001) Abstract. The pressure, the composition, the internal energy, the heat capacity and several monatomic spectral line intensities are calculated at constant volume for a plasma composed of SiO2 and Ag for several initial dens ities and in the temperature range 5000-25 000 K at thermodynamic equilibrium. We show that with a small quantity of material in the plasma we obtain a high pressure. From the heat capacity and composition calculation, we deduce that the main reactions are the ionization of Ag, the dissociation of SiO2 to SiO with further dissociation and ionization of Si and O in the considered temperature range. Furthermore, with the monatomic spectral line calculation, we deduce that the oxygen spectral line has a behaviour rather different from those emitted by Ag and Si.
