I actually did the majority of my stage 1 install and system setup (x.org, kde, OO.o, most of the programs I use) from knoppix, partially because for some reason the gentoo CD I got from one of the other guys here wouldn't boot, partially because I wanted a working system while I installed (so I could still idle on IRC and such). If the graphical installer can be made to run inside the knoppix-like part of the new gentoo CD...
Actually, if the vehicle will stay in gear with the ignition off, that is the best thing to do. The wheels will driving the engine, powering the power steering pump and creating vacuum for power brakes. And the engine being engaged will also help to brake the vehicle.
The computer club here at Penn College has been doing a windows cleanup here every sunday. Our toolkit:
Firefox, Thunderbird, google toolbar for IE
Ad-Aware, Spybot S&D, spyware blaster, hijack this
CWShredder and RemoveCWS_killer
DCOMbobulator, shoot the messenger, UnPnP
most of these are relatively easy to use, but you need to really know what you're doing to use hijack this since it also presents good entries.
the problem isn't EM 'leakage', it's the phone's signal itself. Basically, here's what happens.
phone is turned on, attempts to find signal.
phone cannot find signal
phone increases signal strength in an attempt to find a signal
goto 2
Adding a 'picotower' would give the phone a nice strong signal, so you wouldn't have the phone running at maximum power searching for a signal some [airplane cruising altitude] feet in the air.
someone got unlucky. I've had my hitachi deathstar going a year now, no problems aside from the pin I managed to pull off of the PCB (was 39, activity light) that made the computer hang if the drive was set to master (well, until I removed the pin)
Then I also have the hitachi travelstar in my karma, that's been dropped a few times, no problems yet.
that would work, or to make it even simpler, my school simply made each student report their MAC address to ITS before they could use the wireless network.
A good electric powertrain would probably roughly match the efficiency of a conventional automatic transmission and drivetrain. However, it would add a good deal of unsprung weight, which would be somewhat detrimental to handling. Alternator construction could be quite simple, as well--no need for an exciter, use a permanent magnet and simply adjust engine RPM to maintain voltage, therefore keeping the engine at roughly peak torque no matter what the load is (instead of having it run at 60hz at all times on a conventional AC generator), rectify to DC to allow for storage and speed control... keep voltages high to minimize I^2R losses, as well as to allow for a smaller storage medium (preferably capacitors) to hold the same amount of energy
Someone posted on this one in the other story. I believe it was something along the lines of it being the proper word for 'woman' in Spain. However, Spanish differs a good deal from country to country...
makes me wonder why we always argue over colo[u]r and such
Oxygen is not explosive or flammable at all. What it can do is greatly accellerate any sort of oxidation reaction (read: burning/explosion).
However, that oxygen is under a good deal of pressure. I'm not sure how pressure much your average oxygen-for-breathing tank would be at, but it would probably be enough for the tank to put a good size hole in an airplane if someone was to knock the valve off of it.
the next generation of fuel cells can use methane (or ethanol) for a source of fuel.
so instead of acid rain and tons of greenhouse gases, you get H2O out
Methane and ethanol contain carbon. This has to go somewhere--most likely, carbon dioxide.
but what you really want to do is replace all the coal and oil burning power plants w/ fuel cells
The question I have to ask about this is, exactly how much of the energy you produce will go back to preparing the fuel?
It can be used for passing video round home networks, rights-managed peer-to-peer file sharing, or playing media in handheld devices, as well as for web streaming.
I doubt they're going to complain about that.
now we just hope that it's a reasonable DRM.
nmap's toast anyways, from what I hear, they axed TCP sends over raw sockets because "[they] surveyed applications and found the only apps using this on XP were people writing attack tools."
I'm not talking about parallelogram distortion. On a curve, one side of the image would be more compressed than the other, a sudden dropoff would result in one part of the image being shifted, etc. if you're not at the same place as the image is supposed to be true at.
As I said, you can still only make it look proper on an irregular surface from one small area. Leave that area and it's distorted again.
What I probably should have said in the first post: all this technology does is make it so you can move that area around. (of course that area is always going to be where the camera is, in this case)
The problem with projecting an image onto a non-flat surface is you can only get it to look proper from one small area. Anywhere else and it's still distorted.

nice.
damn the double entendres!

I'd actually expect them to be integrated with the ECM. that way, you can't disable it without disabling the engine. goes from illegal to impossible.
A typical gasoline mixture has a flash point of roughly -40 degrees. Vaporization is not hard at all.

nope, the major problem is turning the pixels off.
which means they will be off before they even turn on.
