Really, a VIA with one of those mini power supplies that is almost the size of the ATX connector (they take 12V and convert to all the voltages the board needs), not too sure how tolerant they are of battery voltages though.
Build the whole thing into a tuffbox style case and you're good to go. Kids will still break it though:-) -nB
Based on your experience how would these work in a cyber cafe setting? I like the smart card aspect. I assume they are configurable thus admin cards, vs. prepaid user cards? I know these wouldn't be useful for games, but I'm thinking a two tiered pricing? $24/hr for a gaming machine (or bring your own for lan parties) or $12/hr for a thin client. Think they'd do good enough for e-mail, IM, etc? Loving the statelessness for native AV properties...
Likely be useful for the register terminal as well (third class of card perhaps?) -nB
I would say that if the price was $0.50 per day I may consider it at home. Many days I don't touch anything office related, but on a monthly granularity I do. Thus if I could buy 30 days of office for $15, but those days were not forced to be sequential then sure I'd consider it. Of course google is free for the "home" version right? -nB
Yeah. I found my stalker ex's page on there (strictly speaking my wife did) so I did what any overly self important geek would do. I created a bogus account and trolled her. she's so dumb that she added my troll to her friends list, thus reminding me why she's my ex. lost the will to even troll her after that. -nB
Also, Why exotic energy sources? Your DC already has diesel generator infrastructure right? Burn biodiesel or straight veggie oil! it's carbon negative (the fuel represents only a portion of the carbon in the plant, the rest of which is used for feed). -nB
Responding to AC... I easily understand your disagreements with my position on the issues, Just wanted to say thanks for the lucid response rather than the flamewar it coulda become.
A large percentage of specific crimes in high immigrant areas (drug and robbery issues in LA for example) are committed by illegal (and often gang members) immigrants.
A large percentage of specific crimes in high white areas are committed by whites. A high percentage of gang related violence involves gang members. A high percentage of the sky is blue. A high percentage of illegal aliens are here illegally.
Shocking, I know. Point taken, but the argument I was trying to make is that rather than have to delve into whether some illegals are good while others are bad, remove the entire class and be done with that particular subset of criminal element. I remember reading that a high percentage of Mexican gang bangers in the US are illegals. I see getting rid of them as two birds with one stone.
At least we agree that the visa program is busted and should be made easier. Flipside: violating the visa should be a reasonable fine and immediate deportation (say cost of deportation and processing your paperwork in and out of the country). -nB
For DB's and home use a mirror set is usually best. For homes because it is simple, for DB servers because it is fast. My home setup is a pair of 300 gig drives in a mirror, with another 1.6TB for other storage. Stuff that is important is on the mirror, and is differentially backed up to DVD regularly. Stuff on the mass array is available in original form (my DVD and CD library that's been ripped) or is backed up whenever it changes, which is not often (my code library, for example). Active code and my wife's thesis are on the raid. Supporting documents for the thesis are on DVD and mass storage, as is old code projects that I may borrow from for functionality in a new project. The old project (and likely several versions of it) are off on DVD in a safe deposit box, with the rest of my backups.
Safe deposit boxes are awesome. I have one that can store 600 cds in cake boxes and it only costs $120/year. Dirt cheap for climate controlled fireproof storage. -nB
No, I'm worried about my future high-schooler aged child's cabbage picking job. People say that the reason the illegals do these jobs is because no-one else will. I call BS. This is easily like the fast food jobs in the city, a high-school or JC job for extra cash while still living at home.
Mind you I don't fault the immigrants, illegal or otherwise for wanting to come here to better their life, but I firmly believe that starting off by entering the country illegally is the wrong way to do it. A large percentage of specific crimes in high immigrant areas (drug and robbery issues in LA for example) are committed by illegal (and often gang members) immigrants. While I realize that these people may be the minority of their total population, the easiest way to deal with it is deportation of all illegals. [ditribe] Christ make work visa's easier to get for Mexicans, I DON'T CARE, just stem the tide of people who are outside the system. If they have a work visa then they can get an international drivers license (no need for a state ID) and they can get a TIN (no need for a SSN) and with those two pieces of data along with their passport they can buy US car insurance if they drive. It's all within the existing legal framework. Enforce what we have and tell Pres Fox to go fuck himself when he complains about how we treat illegals in our country. Heaven forbid you enter Mexico illegally. You're below the child molesters in Mexicali prison. [/diatribe]

obviously the uac_alert function checks. if you allow it returns form the print to screen, if you disallow it executes a break in a quasi random portion of the program leading to system instability.:) -nB
Yes it is, unless sealed by the court. To that end, since the register article says someone has a copy and needs a sympathetic host, I'll host all I can:) Anyone else have bandwith and space to spare? I'm thinking just torrent the whole tarball or rar and distribute it far and wide. Once the cat's out of the bag and multiplied it's gonna be hard to put back. As long as only one person has a copy though, it will be easy to quash. -nB
Um.... As I understood it plants release O2, not CO2, they are more active with an energy source (sunlight) which is why you will see less O2 at night. -nB
Kind of like how I discovered how noscript happens to fix information gathering pages for downloads. Case in point VMWare's player download page required you to enter all sorts of details about yourself. Your clicking on submit triggers a javascript to validate the fields prior to allowing the submit function to go through. With noscript active you can submit a blank page. No doubt this was to reduce server load for validation of the fields. Ironically though I had to enable JS to actually initiate the download of the app. -nB
From what I understood of TFA, they're simply trying to get the antenna back into place before they can destroy the whole cargo ship by letting it burn in the atmosphere. does anyone else think it odd that an antenna must be put back in place so it can burn up in the atmosphere? Reminds me about the guy on death row in California that got a heart transplant. Except at least I can see the astronauts wanting to get the "most spacewalking hours" record. I can't imagine the surgeon wanting the "most pointless and morally wasteful surgery ever"* award. -nB
*While the merits of the death penalty are debatable, that's not the point. This guy failed his appeals and will be (was?) put to death. Giving him a heart that could save someone else not guilty of murdering another human is simply wrong.
No I can not. Never did. If you read the whole post I said: I don't condone that they would speed when off duty, and I think they should get a mark for it or some such Around the fourth line depending on your screen resolution. The assumption of course is that when on-duty they would only speed when their priority lights are on. -nB
Besides using linux isn't that hard compared to installing it. How easy is it for the average joe to install linux when it comes on the machine already, and has a recovery CD for when things get really ugly. Joe doesn't know how to recover a blown linux build, but he doesn't know how to do that on windows either, so that part is a wash. -nB
And why exactly does that justify breaking the law while not on duty? Either you're a troll or a poor reader... as you appear to have missed this part of the same post:

Though you don't have the will to go through what is necessary to acquire control of the tools necessary to verify the shape of the earth, the fact remains that you CAN, I do not have the means to do so. I can not launch my own satellite into orbit to take pictures for me, everything else may be faked (technology and finances limit). I can not afford to charter a plane to fly me around the world non-stop while videoing the ground. I do not have the time to walk the continents, my car can not drive over the oceans, I don't own an ocean worth boat.
The tools exist, yes. Can I leverage the time and money required to use them directly enough to personally prove the earth is round? no. Must I take it on faith that the (overwhelming) evidence presented (by almost everyone) is correct and the earth is round? yes.
I will agree there is a vast difference between round earth and religion, and yes in theory any individual could independently prove the world is round, but most of us accept it as faith because we don't have the means to prove it ourselves. I guess we have to meet in the middle a bit... Course, this is/. where there is no middle ground, only polar regions.
I will now resort to ad hominem attacks to prove my point about the round world: you're probabally one of those retardos thatt hinks the world is flat don't you? wierdo. (there, spelling errors and all, back at/. again) -nB
