I had a physics teacher that used to put some on his tongue, in a similar demo. Once time, used a bit too much, and swallowed it. Gave a class a demo in the expansion of gas to liquid, as well as a belch fest.
The problem with LN would be delivery and storage. I'm sure the local building codes will have a say, as well as for the delivery by semi-trailer.
The Field Museum in Chicago switched to LN freezer units after a power failure cut electricity to them for many hours a few years ago.
From when I was on unemployment in the last Bush admin, you got a form every week, you had to fill in three places where you tried to get work, with the name and phone number of the person you spoke with. This was in order to get your check, and the local office would call and check, enough times that employers would worry about it.
And the kind of work didn't matter, a computer person was expected to apply for manual labor jobs, if they didn't have the minimum of 3 interviews in their profession.
Certainly in a high profile case like this one, she wants to insure that she has done everything she could for a fair trial, because she knows everything is going to be looked at by an appeals court. It is good that things have gone to this level, as it does break ground, so it should be completely investigated.
I'm surprised that they simply didn't donate them to a nearby school. For that kind of donation, you would get the officers of the company on the front page of the local paper, at the ceremony giving them away.
That is very good publicity that is usually very expensive to get.
What other reasons have kept ``Tier-1'' networks from implementing fixes?
Lily Tomlin's classic phone operator routine comes to mind, "we are the phone company, we don't have to care".
I first started using FreeBSD because the machine I had to run it on had only a floppy drive, and freeBSD came in disc sized chunks.
Now that I'm online, I just download the two floppy set, and boot that, and install over the wire. Much more efficent than sucking down ISO's and burning them.
While CD's and ISO's are nice in their way, the other install options of FreeBSD really shine.

Competition isn't so much from large corporations, but rather from 2 guys in a garage. Look Linux and other open source projects, they come from individual efforts.
The most dangerous guy in the world is one with computer access, and an ability to write a killer app, like the original MS basic. That is what Bill Gates is worried about.
The API's need to be available to anyone with USD $50 at a bookstore.

Wiring A New House?
·
· Score: 1
actually, NO, it is practice to put up the conduit first, install the drywall, then pull the wires.
This way any nail penetration is found when the wire is pulled, and not later in life.
Got yelled at by a code inspector for this one, pulling wire before the drywall was installed.
The current thinking on home automation is to run qty 2 coax runs (rg6 quad sheild) and qty 2 cat-5 wires.
This gives you video in and out capabilities. If you need more than that, get a 3 channel RF modulator (settable channels) and put the video on a common cable as an RF signal.
Again if you need more lan cabling think of putting a hub in at each end of the wire, rather than running bunches of cabling. All the wiring runs back to central point where you have your splitters, amps, hubs, etc.
This is what I'm doing, and using one cat-5 for lan and the other for 2 phone lines, and a stereo line level feed.
Note that the standard for wiring up lans currently doesn't use the inner pair, which can be used as a phone connection, although it isn't prefered. (use a different jack for phone).
I found it impossible to pull this through 1/2" flexible metal conduit, so I'd suggest 3/4" up front. Metal conduit isn't required by code in most cases, howerver it does offer physical protection, RFI protection, and is upgradeable in the future.
That is this weekends (week, month, qtr...) project.
IBM's classic servers where never known for true real time applications, just massive amounts of batch processing of lots of tasks. As opposed to say a fly by wire airplane system. And giving the payrol paycheck job stream enough resources to get done in time, and accounting for the resources used. I think a lot of this is going away with the lower cost machines, there is less need for accouting and prioritizing tasks.
I would think that Apache & DB2 goes a long way towards running modern applications.
Linux is IBM's holy grail, an operating system that runs across all their lines. Write once, and it runs on any IBM machine.
and whats more important, the Feds are arguing that they don't need to desclose the methods they use to uncover the data. So they can just say "we used magic lantern" when they used other (non admissible in court) options.
Since the first thing most security companies do is call the house, if you have two lines, have your computer call "home" and leave an offical sounding message on the answering machine, which is on.
If someone breaks in, the first thing they will hear is "the security company" calling to check on the alarm.
Many towns, like mine, require registration, and a yearly tax, if you have an alarm that calls the cops.

AMD And THG update
·
· Score: 1
The problem I see is that AMD didn't make clear originally how to implement the on chip diode to make it work. The first designs were clearly not working the way people expected them to. Thus, AMD comes out with a new implementation, which does work, but will require a new rev of the motherboards.
I think so, but a better question would be is it going to acceptable to the court system? I mean, if you the ISP can change the code, how can it be insured that the software hasn't been tinkered with, to produce in-accurate results?
Maybe I'm watching too many laywer shows on TV, but it seems to me a defense attorney would have a field day attacking the credibility of the evidence produced.
As it has been pointed out, the tools exist to sniff ALL the packets on a network segment, what makes Carnivore is that it makes it easier to meet US court requirements for evidence.
If your are the admin of the networks system, which in totalitan regimes, you are, you have total control over the access and routing and logging of packets. You don't need carnivore, you just have the routers log all packets to from specific IPs.
Carnivore exists because in the USA, the govt doesn't have 100% of the network.
most advertising signs are printed by a huge inkjet printer, spraying paint. You can make the picture as large as you want. Not terribly hi-res, but for a billboard, that doesn't matter.

You need to find a large problem that you are trying to solve, or at least research. Find a problem, setup your models, and start crunching.
Then you go to the vendors/donors and say "we need to make this run fast". This is something they can understand.
Until you have a specified your problem, all your doing is saying "buy me a bigger computer to play with".

It would be interesting to have a radio talk show, which could be carried on the web, that would take a single module per episode, and discuss it.
Today on Linux radio weekly we have the module blah.c for discussion, joining us are, so and so.
A bit of discussion, and open up to some questions. Could be quite educational

With DSL the last mile isn't the problem, its the next 10 miles.
It is fairly easy to locate a DSLAM in the a CO, but then you have to go from there back to your head end office.
Its those DS3 and better lines connecting EACH CO that are the expensive part, and the phone company is unlikely to make it cheaper.

Put up TI and the registered trademark symbol, and put a footnote on the site saying that "TI is a registered trademark of Texas Instruments"
The one time I faced this problem, simply officially recognizing the trademark was enough to satisfy the other company.
Almost all of the items presented are a year or more away.
Give us some stuff that is really going to happen with in the next 53 weeks, and not years away, if it gets here at all.
The only thing that looked relevent is that we can expect MS's IM product to cause further virus/worm activity in the workplace.
