If you tell the emergency dispatcher that some property was damaged by the person falling head first down the stairs they will send the police right out to arrest them, so maybe they will get some medical attention that way.
The idea that risk can be rationalized and reduced to a number (class A, class B, and so on) is itself potentially dangerous
Of course. A two metre fall on to my feet would do little or no damage to me. A fall on to my head on the other hand would do a lot of damage.
A plumber I had working at my place fell three metres on to his feet but the salient point I passed to the ambulance operator was that he wanted to sit up but experienced great pain when he tried.
I agree that a microkernel gives you architectural advantages, but I don't believe you should have to do that to avoid a display freeze when a CD is inserted.
Duncan Lunan from ASTRA wrote a couple of books on the subject in the early 1970s and basically fleshed out the possibilities you outlined, going through various permutations, including ones where we initiate contact, either inside our own solar system or outside. It was an interesting read but don't know if the books are accessible on the web yet.
GPS won't work inside a tram unless you hold it up to the window but you could approximate it from the time. Knowing the route you could model the speed of the tram at different points. The script updates an hg repo with changes to the list of AP names so the time would give you the location with pretty good accuracy. The first commit would be close to the first stop where I power the laptop up.
Yeah thats six with the same name but different mac address: smithm@eeepc:~$ cat/media/sdcard/stuff/APLIST | grep 2FD09E "print server 2FD09E" 02:43:BD:B0:0E:BE "print server 2FD09E" 02:44:23:BB:0E:BD "print server 2FD09E" 02:A7:89:14:0E:5A "print server 2FD09E" 02:F4:86:8C:0E:0D "print server 2FD09E" D6:E6:5E:65:CC:A4 "print server 2FD09E" EE:9C:D9:C9:63:67
But that could happen if they kept changing the mac address. My script appends to a file. It doesn't delete old entries. Logging the repository which contains the final list suggests these mac addressed have been collected over time. Maybe they kept changing hardware.
No I'm not concerned about my privacy. But I did wonder about those iMac AP names, and if the owners know they are broadcasting.
The number against Purplemonkeydishwasher is the number of mac addresses with that name. I have the mac addresses in a file but I have not made that file public.
And yeah I could tweak my sort parameters to organize things differently.
How do you get around, by dog sled? I have to admit thats pretty macho. Dense urban areas need good, clean, convenient public transport so that people can go about their business without clagging the roads up with cars, taxis and buses. Think of trams as horizontal elevators for business districts.
Compare the Melbourne CBD with Sydney. The noise in Sydney turns me away.
Yeah I take the 96 between Blythe street and the World Trade Centre in Clarendon street. A few of these APs will be from deeper in Fitzroy (Brunswick st or Smith st) because I go there from time to time. Some are from Sydney rd because the Royal Melbourne hospital was my second home for a while.
I find it really productive because the trip lasts 40 minutes and I have to start and finish something in that time. Working on the small screen of the eeepc 701 creates additional challenges. Generally I develop openmoko applications and a days work might involve refactoring an app to use sqlite instead of flat files, or building a new simple app which somebody suggested to me. Its a good way to learn to concentrate on the job at hand.
If I am tired then I will just clean up compilation warnings, remove trace lines or clean up comments. That kind of thing.
The only times I haven't used the laptop is when my tegretol is shitting me and I have to keep my eyes on the horizon (or the nearest best substitute) to stay on an even plane.
Incidentally the new cafe right at the northern end of the line (Blythe street) has free wifi (its called DLINK). Its a really good, fast connection. If the tram is slow taking off in the morning I have time to download my/. posts from overnight. But normally I don't have time.
I live in Clarence street in East Brunswick and I get on at Blythe street. Because its at the end of the line I always get a seat. Going the other way I get on at the WTC in Clarendon street and even if the tram is full at that point it half empties at southern cross station. Going to work I normally sit at the northern end of the tram with an eeepc 701 on my lap. Feel free to say hello if you recognise me. I usually get on at 0730 and ~1745 or so.
It goes out through comcen but I think my mistake was posting a link to the repo with the code in it. Most likely the text file with the ap names was not causing the server to run away. I have renamed the directory with the code repo in it and the system is holding its own for now.
This certainly an eye opener for me. I thought I was prepared.

...though they might declare war on us...
More of a mercy killing I think.
No, Tom Skerritt.
What we really need is a major scientific break-in.
I can't say I blame this woman. Twelve years of Neighbours. I wonder if they ever made her watch it?

I love the smell of capacitor in the morning, but if I smell the interior of an LED then I am out of there.
I once blew the belly out of a 7413 by running it on 10V. I probably shouldn't have inhaled in that room after that.
96 does occasionally go down Latrobe. Usually if there is a demo in Spring street. I must have missed your AP going past.
erm... "coral cache" rings any bell?
It does now.

Getting the use of their TLD must have been part of the deal for the army going in to rescue them from Indonesia. Along with the oil of course.
The .tl domain names are cheap and convenient for me.
The trying for the same hole bit is just cover.

I don't have her address. Just her mac address and general location.
