While this articles replies often tivialize the bone/sound phenomon,
The way bone affects sound is interesting, and is still used today by skilled ear/nose/throat surgeons to detect tumors.
Where initial diagnosis of acoustic neuroma(tumours on nerves) need to often be made before referral to MRI test,
the skilled doctor can actually detect changes in tuning fork pitch, when placed against the skull, when a tumor is present.
Some years back when at University, we did a case study on an IT project that Marriott did in partnership with Rental car agencies - a booking system tie in.
It was terribly over budget, and delayed a long time.
A significant factor was the project manager lieing about timeline milestones and being within budget.
Later, once it was too late, a report slammed marriot for not reviewing the project reports, which stated time and time again that "all is well". Marriott had next to no QC or risk analysis. They allowed it to be a free wheeling disaster.
No particular point to this, but reading "Marriott" bought back memories.
Humanity portrayed positively.

If this book is a metaphor for man striding forward, in all his/her creativeness, and glowing potential, then TV reality shows provide the lactic acid and procrastination.
I'm just drawing up a reply to a RFI from a health provider. They are upgrading their medical records database.
My solution included oracle on linux servers.
I'll just use this instead..but just say I'm providing the infrastructure.
With network infrastructure either end to handle the traffic, it becomes about 90ms.
But the light takes 30ms.
Previous to this cable it was more like 300ms to the west coast.
The cable was layed by our incumbent Telecomm's provider(plus a few other investors).
When they bought it ashore here, i went down to the shoreline (we all knew when as it'd been in the news). A big fat cable about 40cm in diameter.
Chronology: (about 6 years ago, over a couple years)
- Cable run from NZ to Hawaii.
- From Hawaii to US West Coast
- Australia connected to New Zealand.
I'm selfish. But I suspect I could be representitive of a fair chunk of the population.
I live in New Zealand, live for computers, love my internet, games(many violent), and my credit card gets a workout on porn sites.
My concern for many of the world's events is orientated around how it might affect my internet.
However, in NZ, our tech infrastructure is near 3rd world, We rank 22 in OECD broadband surveys. We have a fibre optic cable that runs from our coast to the US west coast(Oh how I wish they'd run it to Taiwan).
All this stirring by the US worries me:
- The re-interpetation of the US 2257 porn laws, with examples of prosecutions now.
- The.xxx domain issue.
- The US's trend to offer rewards to nations who are loyal to the US....and punish those that are not in the US's pocket.
The only saving grace might be the fact the cable runs thru us from Australia, who are effectively, just another state of the US now. Thus they need us.
I fear the US's attitude to that uppity free thinking(anti-nuclear) nation, New Zealand. Where the Crazy frog ring tone videos play at prime-time with his attributes non-censored.
I can hear the sound of US scissors snipping my beloved fibre optic cable.
....HOW the things work, and they have no idea. They are really riding on the backs of the 'old folks' like us that built the goodies they enjoy.
Yeah? Well, in my day, on the way to my punchcard programming job, I'd have to walk to work in 6 feet of snow, in my bare feet, only stopping to warm them in fresh cow-pats along the way!
I read some semi-amusing examples of euphemism examples some time ago:
- Refuse collection engineer.....Garbage man. Bin man in the UK.
- Sanitory Landfill.....Garbage dump.
- etc,etc
So from the article, "advocate....
Hmmmm, lets see, being the US that could be a euphemism for....
- Threaten - Mobilise military - Sanction - Strike preemptively
"If I'm blocked from attending a town hall meeting put on by my President because I'm a Democrat, I'm not very free."
An this is exactly what happened in the US a few months ago.
I do not have a link, but you must recall the woman who was denied entry in just this situation, because agents spotted her car with a democrats sticker on it parked several hundred yards down the road.
THis china story is nothing but commercial dominance.
Telecom in New Zealand have not blocked IP calls per sey, but have intoduced latency and interleaving.
These case have nothing to do with freedoms, but incumbents moving as aggresively as they dare.

I'm not a military strategist, hell I couldn't even get up before 8.am(for a bugle call), but "wafer" and "chip" fabs will be, to the next big conflict, what ball-bearing factories were in WWII.
You will never get the opportunity with CliffB to "scrape and claw to the top" if you dont:
"...stick with your first project and see to it that you finish it with the team. I've known many people who have jumped from company to company and never actually shipped a game, and their resumes look like a "who's who" of the gaming industry. I avoid these folks at all cost, as this is the primary indicator of a lack of finishing ability!"
(From BliffyB's own website How to get hired.)
Which for these people, no matter how talented, puts their future employment fate into the hands of the project manager, moving goalpost politics, and skittery publishers.
Well if CliffyB has anything to do with the hiring process.
Probably the same amount that found it curious that the first attack might have been done to distract the G8 summit away from poverty like a $20 street hooker waving "Yoo-hoo, boys!" to some sailors in a port town.
This terror thing needs to be tangible to sell it to the people.
It needed specific actions, and specific names to to give the whole thing crediability. London did that.
You can only peddle theories and non-entities for so long.

For example, the model generated a list of words that included "rider," "bike," "race," "Lance Armstrong" and "Jan Ullrich."
From this, researchers were easily able to identify that topic as the Tour de France.
I imagine "testosterone", "doping", and "supportive mother", would have found the Tour de France topic even faster.

I know bush sees oil in everything, but this is a new level.

3) Twiddle thumbs as they fall in, and turn into oil.
