I already do this. I story my hydrogen in a liquid for ease of use. This way I can use hoses to get it to my engine where I then allow it back into a vapor form (by pushing it through small nozzles at about 135 bar. My storage method is really cool: I stick 34 hydrogen atoms onto a chain of 16 atoms of element 6. Best thing is that this method of storage is nearly explosion proof, even with a 20% oxygen atmosphere around my fuel storage, I can put a lit match out in it while it is in it's liquid state. It is only under extreme pressure that it detonates, and that is how I drive my car.
measure it from the 6 (or three if sphere) points that are equidistant from the test mass, thus while the measurement imparts some force, you are applying that force on all 6 sides of the cube.
Obstentionally a computer gone sentient would learn language from the programming and documentation stored on said computer. So WTF did the Latin come from?
That or the computer was programmed by a nerd like me who writes comments in Latin when they are observational comments rather than illustrative ones.
main entrance to the building where I work is just the RFID reader, that's it. To get in the labs, however, there is a reader and a keycode (that and most labs are not so big that people are used to not recognizing everyone, thus if you do not belong there you will be asked what you need).
you know... We always like to argue this here, but I recently encountered just that (not with the mona lisa though).
I was at an exhibit of King Tut's crap from the Cairo Museum. They have a no photography rule. My assumption as an advanced photographer is that this rule is likely about the xenon strobes used in flashes and the non-trivial amount of UV they produce. I noticed someone taking a picture (with a flash) and the rapid approach of a docent. I got closer so I could hear the exchange. In a nutshell, the Cairo Museum was asserting that the display was copyrighted and that was why photos were not allowed. The person was 'required' to delete the photos from her digital camera.
This prompted me to talk to the docent after the person had left. They had no real answers to my questions, only evasion. I pointed out that statements of fact are not copyrightable, that the antiquities are not copyrightable. Thus photos taken that show only statement of fact or the antiquities are not actionable by them. That said, I respected their request not to take photos, as that was a condition of sales of the tickets to the museum, but I did get the curators name and complained.
The response from the curator was more illustrative. The museum was required to take that stance by Cairo or else they would have not been allowed to carry the King Tut exhibit... The curator personally agreed that while flash photography is very bad, taking pictures without a flash (monopod and a steady hand) *should* be ok, but in this case isn't.
In a complete opposite encounter at the Getty Museum I was viewing old bibles and other texts. I brought my photo gear, and a tripod. As I was setting up for a shot a docent came over ready to jump me for using a flash, and once I pointed out that my camera had no flash, and the external unit was nicely tucked away in the bag, they became the most helpful people in the world, diverting people and drawing a blind across a reflection on the bullet proof glass case, just so I could get a perfect shot. -nB
one other number they really should look at is the number of copies pirated *and* not bought because of the DRM. In reality we all want to believe that everyone who claims they bought the game did so, then downloaded to bypass the DRM (which I find morally in the clear). However I suspect there is at least some reasonable group of people who figure "Oh this game has DRM... F it I'll just download it", but never buy the game, though had the game been DRM free they would have. I don't buy games with DRM on them (except console games). Of course that means I really like the MW4 is free now as I can play it to my hearts content and that is actually the newest game on my PC that I "own". Next most recent game is Warcraft I. -nB
I think that my be the most awesome setup for the RIAA ever... Buy disk with DRM, save receipt. Download disk save uTorrent stats showing you leeched it (no upload). Get sued. Counter Sue for torturous interference/racketeering/SLAPP ???JURY??? Profit!
Five bucks says we start seeing this code in copy-paste applications soon because people too lazy to write and understand the code they're producing are also to lazy to look where the code came from...
Virtual Dub Mod uses all cores available. It does so nicely. I finally go to the point with my system architecture that I'm CPU bound (previously I was severely I/O bound) and yes, the core OS UI suffers when it's running, but honestly I want that so my renders happen faster. If I didn't want that I would disallow one core to VdubM and have a snappy UI.
IIRC Netflix was getting heat from the USPS for their mailers not being rigid... To me that sounds like GameFly is using the USPS recommended mailer style.
My first thought, however, is that if the disks are being broken that's a USPS issue, if they are disappearing that is an end user losing the disk and saying "I mailed it back, honest!".
I would mod you up but I don't have any points. You nicely sum it up, though I have one addition: The default state is to call it CP, thus:
If the person who's deciding if it's child porn likes you then it's fine. If they don't like you then it's child porn and you can enjoy being on the sex offenders register. If they don't know you then it's child porn and you can enjoy being on the sex offenders register.
See, the thing is that you are right, Edison hired very bright people. Many of these people were the actual inventors. Edison was the inventor of record, but the ideas often came from these other people, that's part of why Tesla ultimately quit working for him, Tesla felt Edison was taking undue credit for others root ideas.
Actually we have seen wireless power... the thing is, we can't do it like he envisioned because we value the spectral space much more for communications than for power distro. However, there is some work on the front of laser power transmission, which is still wireless, but at a vastly higher frequency than Tesla could generate (wouldn't put it past him to imagine it though).
Like any enterprise, some ideas take off, others flop. I'd wager that he had a vastly better ratio of work:flop than anyone else in history.
Sorry, but I have to disagree with you. While Edison was bright, he was predominately a business man first, inventor second.
Tesla was a true nerd. Think it, build it, someone else can sell it. Our power distro system: Generation (nearly all current turbine designs root with his), distribution, step up/down transformers, arc lighting, fluorescent lighting, inductive ballast, (by extension inductive cook tops), etc. All from Tesla.
Edison is most famous for the (inefficient) incandescent light, and less so for the forerunner of the record player.
Edison is more famous, specifically because he was a business man. Same as Bill Gates is more famous than Steve Jobs (as much as I hate admitting both those points).
hahahaha that made my day. Never watch that show... I know plebs that do. This explains a lot about how they think about computers. Since they all "know I'm a hacker" apparently I'm super cool now?

I have one (honest) question for you Mr SatanicPuppy:
If *you* made a game, would you DRM it?
If yes, to what extreme?
I think that my be the most awesome setup for the RIAA ever...
