The idea that birds came from dinosaurs is well accepted. The latest idea however is that birds ARE dinosaurs! In other words, the dinosaur line didn't die out, birds are their DIRECT decendants which continue the line today.
Simple solution, I NEVER use my office computer for any of my personal stuff. No banking, never put in one of my credit card numbers, never bought anything on ebay, etc. Even if I could wipe the disk on my computer, what about any snooping over the network from the server farm and network filewalls keeping a copy of key strokes etc.....
Try setting up Mint-13 KDE with Cario-Dock. Cario-Dock will take a bit of tweaking to remove some useless launchers. You should have launchers on the dock for logoff/power down, weather, open office writer and maybe calc, firefox and thunderbird, applications menu, volume control. I'd remove the links to open apps ??? I move the KDE task bar to the top of the screen (since dock is on the bottom). Set the task window switcher to 4 windows in one row. Add logout/lock applets. Go to settings and disable KDE screensaver and install xscreensaver, then add xscreensaver to startup menu. Also replace kscreenlocker with a sh script to launch xscreensaver when the lock button is pressed. Now you have a nice Mac looking desktop that a windows user will still find comfortable.
Here's a way to defeat the hack, right out of Abbie Hoffmann's steal this book. Bring some two tube 5 minute epoxy with you. If the lock to your room has one of those DC jacks in it mix up some epoxy and fill the jack with it. Problem solved!
I watched my two daughters grow up from babies to young adults. I remember that as babies they at times seemed like soleless animals, little more than puppies, eating, sleeping, (and other body functions). At night they would sometimes wake up with a totally blank look in their eyes as if nobody was at home. You can say that this is just the way the human brain matures, that not all of our nurons are switched on at the moment of birth and that we have to make the connections. You can also call this 'learning'. However to me it seemed as if their souls had not been 'delivered yet'. This happened at a few months of age when it seemed they had suddenly turned into people with real consciousness and self awareness. If you've never watched the day by day the process of a new life starting out and developing you might not understand what I've experienced here.
Not all hobby shops have gone out of business, only the ones that haven't kept up with the latest trends. Our local hobby shop is now bigger than ever, he just recently expanded into the Sound Advice audio store next door that went out of business a few years ago (I think the landlord was happy to lease the empty space and let it go cheap), more than DOUBLING his size. The place has lots of RC, model RR, and video game related items (including theme art kits). This particular hobby shop has moved many times, the owner would jump ship every time his lease was up to look for a new location at the lowest rent. However he seems to have found the perfect location and isn't going anywhere now!
While my twin daughters were growing up (they are 18 now) the Home Depot used to have hands on craft days on weekends where dads (and moms) could bring their children to build simple wood projects using simple hand tools (mostly hammers, but also sandpaper, glue, and sometimes a handsaw and a non-power hand drill). The projects were prefab trinkets such as bird feeders, garden whill-a-jigs, bookends, etc. My daughters enjoyed the mornings we spent there and got a feel for using simple hand tools. I don't know if the Home Depot is still running these events, but it was a good idea. One of my daughters is now enrolled at BU in the engineering college (she starts this fall) and has already built a radio kit we got from Edmund (cheap kit, we still have to get it working!), I taught her how to use a soldering iron. She also built robot arm from a kit.
One method that I've head of for building an underground habitat was to bury a small nuke underground and set it off. If buried deep enough and the yield was small enough you'd end up with a large cavity underground. There is the issue of left over radioactivity, but it might be possible to remove the radioactive layers of material from the cavity with robot mining equipment and shield over what is left.
I've "spelled" stuff in hex constants many times, usually when I need a password I could remember (though not very secure I grant you). Things like DEADF00D, B16DEA1, C01DBEEF, etc..... There are also some numbers that can't be read as words until you hold them UPSIDE DOWN. Let the geeks at M$ have their fun. I bet Linus has slipped in a few zingers himself. He's hardly the saint language wise!
First of all there isn't any reason why an SUV can't be a suitable target for an electric conversion. it IS possible to do a wind tunnel analysis on an SUV and come up with suitable aerodynamic styling that will reduce wind drag. An SUV gives you high ground clearance, good cargo options, and room. But you shouldn't be using a full size SUV when it's going to be driven empty, that is a waste. Use the right vechile for the right job.
As for the electric conversion, I'd want to have four motors, one per wheel with direct drive (or a simple gear reduction if necessary). This will give you a computer controlable differential, and by driving some of the motors in reverse a very tight turn circle when needed. The motors should be able to be connected in reverse as generators when braking, which might put a damper on using AC motors with an electronic inverter for speed control (maybe not, I'm not sure here).
The engine would only run when required, to recharge the batteries or to supply additional power when the batteries are not enough (running AC or other electrical things, or pulling a heavy load such as a boat trailer). The throttle should be controled by the computer to supply the required generator output on demand, this might NOT be determined by the throttle alone. Finally I've always wondered about an engine with valve timing that could control the effective compression ratio. Combine this with timed fuel injection and ignition and you might end up with an engine that could burn ANYTHING from diesel to gas, IE: combine the Diesel and Otto cycles in one engine.
You can't just run a transformer at higher voltage, the core is limited in wattage. So if you doubled the primary voltage the core would saturate at half the current, with no net gain in power.
We have AT&T (bellsouth.net) and yesterday internet access was spotty at best. Some sites loaded right away as usual, some never loaded, some now and then. Ebay was a lost cause, google was ify and google hits went nowwhere. At work we have comcast and it was business as usual. At home it made no difference which computer I used, MAC, PC, Linux all had issues. My router / DSL modem is a Motorola.
I've been building / upgrading my main computer when technology takes a big enough leap forward and prices are in a low point. Two years or so ago I build a new Athlon x2 2.8ghz machine with 4gb of ram. At the end of last year I gave that machine to my wife and built a new one with a Phenom II X4 @ 3.5ghz with 12gb of ram. The Bulldozer had just come out and prices on the older Phenom II's took a nosedive. Other than maybe adding some more ram or a larger disk I don't see any reason to upgrade anytime soon. Intel's Ivybridge looks interesting (but pricey), wouldn't go there unless I go all in with the I7 and 4 way memory interleaving. And why bother, my Phenom II is fast enough with Win 7 or Linux 64 bit OS's. I also still have a standby machine with a real old Asus socket 939 MB and a dual core Athlon-64 processor that can run the latest Linux. THAT macine only has 2gb of ram and won't take more (DDR-1).
An executive order can be overtuned (in a maximum of 4 years) by the public with their votes. (kick the bastard out of office and replace him with a new scumbag). Or by congress through the power of empeachment (tried twice, never succeeded completely).

It was normal for Steve Jobs to be barefoot in the office. Don't think he would tolerate that from anybody else though. He was a scumbag like that.

Is this like Tetsujin 28 or Gigantor?
Guess this means that HP and Compaq's phone in help desks are down.
You want homebrew? Now THIS http://belogic.com/uzebox/index.asp is homebrew!
Unless enough of the fith estate are on hand to witness it, film at 11.
But it was strong armed away (by a strong arm). What are you going to do, grab it back?
