I know of 2 people that have been searching the internet from voic command for over 6 years now.
Is this prior art ? Google is OBVIOUSLY not the first to do it or even think of it.
I can show you a half dozen Sc-Fi episode that have touched on this as well. How can you patent a communication medium's use ????
OK, here goes "Power generation from most current power plants, even coal burning ones, are less polluting per watt of power output than an internal combustion engine".
At the powerplant Yes , at the Wheel NO, not even close.
Average loss in transmission is around 25-30% , Right there is enough, to make them equal.
And thats just on the high side, then look at step down transformer loss at around 5%
Ok, now on to transforming AC to DC and Charging the batteries. Here loss is around 20% depending on whos system youre using.
Now Transfer from storage battery to motor. Here the MOST efficent systems are running 85% so lets say at a minmum 15%
Then estimate drivetrain loss at on a direct drive electric at %5 based on average.
What you have is a 75% loss from the original power generation to the wheels.
I would be more than HAPPY to provide you the resources to do your own calculations. I suggest the Handbook of Electric Power Calculations , mine is 2nd edition but third is out.
So While what you say is true at the plant (and only by a small margin) is nowhere even close to reality in the real world applications.
175% is damm close to "Twice"
Do most people on slashdot really pull shit out of their asses or their uninformed minds and just post it ?
Correct, I but water is also a great absorbsion media for the radiation, the worst that happens is you get deuterium and tritium in the exchange.
Thats why (although not obvious) I was talking about oceanic based blasts. (the bikin mention the artic, etc)
The isotope problem is much harder to deal with long term although strontium90 and cobalt60 have a relatively short half-life (in the scheme of humanity) but they are obviously quite dangerous in the short term being bone seekers.
Everything being in "Direct line of sight" is a whopping 14 miles for a surface blast in the ocean
We were taught fairly in depth nuclear physics in grade school, now the grade school I went to was a bit different and I was in College by age 12 but nonetheless, its not.....errrr "Rocket Science" but we learned some pretty advanced aeronautical engineering to....oh well, im sure there is something I dont know.....
The simple amount of pollution that would be generated HERE on earth to accomplish this would be far worse than the benifits
Think about it.
Factory to Produce umpteen rockets
Factories to produce umpteen electronics for said spaceships
Power generation to produce fuel for umpteen rockets
Water vapor from launch of umpteen rockets
And on and on and on.
This is probably the same guy that says drive an electric car save the enviroment, when you boil it all down to generation losses, power generation polution, and envirmental damage from toxic chemicals used in the batteries an electric car is about TWICE as polluting as a modern compact.
EVERYTHING has cause and effect....this ones effect would seem massive indeed
"set off a few nukes and see if nuclear winter can cool things down"
By the time my kids are my age that may be the only option.
And it may not be a bad one
The U.S. has some nice large yield hydrogen bombs that are "clean" well as "clean" as a thermonuclear device can be.
Where is the question, would sea level blasts in the arctic work ? or maybe mid atlantic, shit Bikini Atol is still crapped up from last time maybe thats a good place
A "PURE" fusion device would be ideal.
Maybe we could create a "Dust Pump" to chock all that shit upwards, or better yet, figure out how to trigger about 5 large volcano blasts. A volcano produces MUCH more ash and reduces temperatures much more than a Nuke....
The system is big enough to filter every single bit of IP and voice traffic around the world.
It exists, and quite frankly having them simply forward it is just EASIER.
The intecept on the trafic can be done without the aid of the ISP but its a bit more of a pain, never underestimate the goverments desire to tak a shortcut by making threats.
I personnaly know of ISP's that route their traffic in this same manner. Its not just the "Big Boys"
There is an ISP I work with that I have seen "Personell" employed by the govt in and working with their own equiptment, this ISP acts as a Pop for a crapton of AOL customers.
The funny part is if you think youre being safe by encryption youre not, all encrypted traffic is given a priority, then it gets queued depending on the encryption type and prioriry (sender , recipient, even location) sometimes an encrypted file will sit in queue for months before it is decrypted and filtered.All of the main commercial encyrption methods dont even go this route they are all backdoored.
Many years ago we actually sold and encryption product to the FBI they SPECIFICALLY requested the NSA Key chain be removed from, (this was well before DHS) , funny the FBI was even trying to protect themselves from the NSA......Then, we got CIA business ith the same request, a year later we got an NSA request that all keys be put back in and were "asked" not to discuss it.
Pen and Flash Paper read indoors with no windows. Thats about the only way youre gonna be safe if you want to be paranoid.
Personally I like to give the guys who read second pass stuff a kick every now and then.
Filtered items are categorized the same and given priority, they are then run by human eyes.
These guys have a shit job, so I like to make sure my stuff makes it to them , then include a joke or something, making sure they know I know they say it.
There just has to be better uses of our intelligence .
WHY ???
You dont think the Chineese would do this ?
Does anyone remeber our com plane and its pilots ?
The Chineese wouldnt even think twice about doing something like this. They would do it hands down.
Shit WE would do it, and we did, look at all the games we played with the russians, bugged photocopiers for example.
You seem like a plant , or a way to trusting soul to be on slashdot
But a 12 Year old can still join Golden Gloves Boxing.
A 16 Year old can join the Armed Forces.
Kids can play Paintball or Good old fashioned War games.....
And lastly they can play violent video games.....
I did all of the above...Im not violent, never had an assult charge and have only been in 2 fights as an adult, both while being attacked by some crackhead mugger.
But dont forget its ONLY the Video Games, not shit poor inner city schools or anything with guns and teachers who dont do anythign about it.....
Yeah lawmakers dont have their head in the right place........riiiiigggghhhhttt....
If they wanted to do business there they had to comply.
You never saw senate hearings THEN (Especially Postwar) About their actions
China will change, it wont be a "grand" revolution, but it will change. In 50 years with the Decline of Freedom and Liberty here in the US I wouldnt be suprised in the LEAST if China were a MORE free society, (in 50 year I estimate) There are simply too many people, and the more that become educated with a market system such as china has , it will happen.
Thats funny , I used parts from the metal OSI cases some years later as sid eplates for my first robot, a Hero like replica, by then (late 79, my old man was VP of OSI and bringing all kinds of crap home, he got is hands on the first off the mold plastic cases for the Challenger, they were all defective in one way or another, I used the Floppy Drive case for the Head of the robot.... I still have my challenger as well although Ive since lost the PS, I ought to fire it up sometime but the caps scare me as some are prone to popping after they get so old and all...... Was yours a kit ? Or was it completed when you bought it ?
In 1897 my dad bought me a "Superboard" kit from OSI, it took me about 8 months to put it together correctly, and yes by myself. He wouldnt let me do the Powersupply because he was afraid I would get zapped. (funny part it he did about 5 times, the PS was from olsen an a kit as well)
Then came the S100 Bus sytems and by 1982 I had serial number 2 Ibm PC sitting in my basement He was VP of marketing for Tecmar and they had a deal with IBM to get their hands on the first production systems,, Serial Number 1 and 2 (with a bunch of 0's in front and another ID code I think) I still have the Keyboard for #2, on the keyboard for #1 we learned why they were robitcally asembled..... Tecmar toasted 1 with with a lithium battery explosion that send shards of PCB into the arm of one of their techs, (Yes the old lithium batters were Quite capable of this if crossed)
They "THOUGHT" they cooked #2 so the old man brought it home, and we fixed it..... Ahhh the good old days....
Not even close sparky.....
The bits were avaliable to MS Partners as early as lat 1999,
Ive been coding.net 2.0 exclusivley for 1 1/2 years now, it was only avaiable as Releasse to Market (RTM) in November.
Hell I was working on 64 Bit Itaniums with.Net years before release, and 64 Bit windows 5 years ago. Just cause they dont trust you to play with their stuff before release. Heres and example. This is a Itanium with 64 Bit Windows Server , and.Net 1.1 64 Bit, (in feb 2001).....Get a clue....
Then again, I've been "called" by my em,ployers a "Big Gun" or "Giant Killer" since 97, buts its also about diversity, I am a.Net programmer for the last 6 years or so but I have been an Oracle and Solaris admin for an F500 prior to that
Its all about you and what you know
And while the Intital architecture of such a task can be hair raising for the uninitiated, you are correct "blind monkey missing three fingers could learn to program "
And thats EXACTLY who companies want to be able to maintain it long term....
The mat is federal court, and he/the republicans lost
Its more ammunition that will help the democratic party re-take the house and senate
Your right, its not so much him directly but his party, my biggest fear is a pendulum effect wherreby its the liberal democrats , who are nutty as loons, that will be the ones to take power.
If the "White House Staffers" are doing this on Govt paid hardware/bandwidth, or "the clock" so to say, this is expressly forbidden and illegal, it would be even better to drum up if their bosses told them to.
Bush has already been taken to the mat over illegal contributions to Radio stations in what amounts to Propoganda, whats next WikiGate ?
Outside of Intel that is, When intel was first developing the Itanium, without x86 compatibility originally , I was granted access to their hardware through their SDV program, I ported Bochs over, it took about 2 days with most changes being in the assy routines, it wasnt so bad, its kinda funny, as the project became a total waste as they introduced this at the hardware level.
This whole Itanium fiasco is why I sold my intel stock and looked for other vendors, http://bochs.sourceforge.net/screenshot/whistler.j pg I think it was 2000 or so.....It looks good on a resume along with 100 other useless things like it....

Paying nintendo for patent royalties, Nintendo has patented the HELL out of their contorller just like they did thier first gen console.

Thats where my idea came from , but how do they then explain the 93 coming
Jesus has a bladder infection thats all......
