What filesystem do you plan on using for your shared/home? Not trying to be difficult, I want to do the same thing but couldn't find a filesystem that both supported well enough to hold my docs.
Also, do you put your OS X/Applications on the primary partition?
Please elaborate. With the decline of government comes the decline of patents, therefore medicine would be cheaper than ever before and would only be limited by the materials needed to manufacture it. And how won't you see any more of your proceeds? Today we can import almost anything we need for cheap, with the sharp reduction in tariffs expected with a decline in government, goods become cheaper.
And where is the incentive to create new medications? I, for one, am awaiting for the creation of a few new medical treatments [a pill, say, to replace the three times a week injections I have to give myself; or a cure, perhaps to the underlying condition, not that it's in the pharmaceutical companies interest to actually cure anything ].
The value of something is not simply the material costs. Research costs time and money, that cost has to be a) recouped, and b) incentivized. While I'm a huge proponent of the open-source, work on what you believe in, approach to development, it's not enough. There are not enough independently wealthy, selfless, do-gooders [in the best sense of the word] in the world to rely on for advancement in technologies.
This was actually part of a business idea of mine about 8 years ago. A type of death notification service.
The idea was that you'd periodically give the service an updated list of people you'd like contacted if you die, along with any special messages / instructions (within reason). The company would know where you live (city and state at a minimum), and would do a daily check of the obituaries / death notices / etc. If you came up potentially dead, the company would attempt to contact you. Assuming you're dead, the messages would be sent out as requested.
This is a great idea for people who have many online or non-local contacts, secret second families, etc.
I wonder if it is possible to read the charge in the CCD without really erasing it. Thus a still image exposed for, say, 1/100 sec we could save a picture after 1/1000 exposure, and a 1/500, 1/200,
and then the 1/100. Now we have four pictures and we blend them with different weights off line using RAW images! Don't know if it is really possible.
I wondered about that too a few months ago. Turns out you can't read the charge without erasing it. But, if you can read and clear the element fast enough, you could theoretically take (for example) 10 1/1000 second exposures, accumulating the results in a buffer, then write that out for the equivalent of a 1/100 second exposure. Repeat as required. You'll run into problems of noise and transfer rates though. But that's a problem for the engineers.
In Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum one of the characters buys a computer(this was supposed to be early eighties), and does a kabbalistic rearranging of one of the names of god. I wonder if he got the idea from the Asimov story(which I remember as the monks trying to solve the Tower of Hanoi problem, but it's been years)
I think that if you look through last months Electronics Now or Popular Electronics magazine they have the plans for a 2 channel mixer, It should be no problem to modify it to take 4 channels... Whole thing should cost like 40 bucks

You do realize the grand-parent post [by geekoid] was talking about the great-grandparent post [by digitalunity].

A. The IRS themselves hosts an online page for tax filings. The data is sent over SSL and goes to the IRS, and IRS only.

It is a knockoff, kinda. Both the Shadow and the Spirit were late 30's comic books. Shadow came out a year or two before the Spirit.
