Two different species are geneticaly incompatible to produce a viable offspring. In a rare case two closely related species are capable to creating offspring which is usually not able to reproduce. Just resistance because of stupid use of herbicides and pesticides is more likely. When using herbicides and pesticides, it is important to keep a healthy population to overgrow the by herbicides affected population. The change is pretty large that the new survivor is maybe strong against the poison, but weak compared to the original plants. This has been studied, and it is shown that by spraying 90% wiht pesticides or herbicides, and leave 10% of the original population untouched, the poison tends to be effective for a longer period (up to 10 years longer on the same pest). The only issue is, is that 10% of the harvest needs to be sacrificed to the pest. In the end, every pest gets immune.
Also good for arc welding, starting cars with dead batteries, electrifying the fence around your ranch, firing your railgun, and giving yourself electroshock therapy to prevent you from buying another one in the future.
So for the really multifunctional PC that is. Finally beyond the realm of computing!
6Mbit connection soon to be 8MBit but still using line compression for remote X since it is just faster in response. It is clearly more acceptible than the 512kbit I started with several years ago, but faster does matter. More bandwidth means less packet fragmentation which severly inhibits the online "experience". So even when you do not use all of your bandwidth, more is just better. For just plain data use in GB/month, my bandwidth has just doubled going from 512kbit to 6Mbit, so in that way it is not really interesting. I do get more sloppy with my downloads though: Erased, just download it again, the connection fast enough to wait for 100MB.
On eBay you can already buy a maxtor drive for
$59.90!
Oh, I should read the article? One moment.
Buying the company blablabla. Hum, check it out on
eBay: Rare Maxtor drive for sale. Soon not available anymore, will be collectors item with vastly increased value.
P.S. This is a random first hit on eBay. I am in no way associated to this seller. If you maxtor collectors item does not increase in value, do not complain to me. I warned you!
Maxtor SATA 250GB failed on me within 3 months (luckily in a RIAD system), seagate SCSI (~80GB) failed after 9 months (Also in RAID), WD the famous ones failed several, but they replaced all of them for free, Quantum fireball 8GB failed after 8 years of running almost non-stop, the drive will take 10 attempts before it spins up succesful, but will than work, anyone interested in this good second hand drive? I also steared clear of WD for a while, but nowadays they seem to have their act together again, and produce reliable drives. IBM death star: Heard of them, but my 100GB IBM is running like a charm. The lesson learned is: Make regular BACKUPS! The less nice part about this take-over is, is that maxtor seems to be cheaper than seagate for the same quality of drives. I think this might drive the prices of the maxtor up to seagate level.
1 year ago 1 spam message per day in my mail, now in the old account 10+ (80% from US, 20% from china, rest of world: NONE) per day. So, yes it is a succes that legal marketeers are keeping the rules. But the legal ones are not the problem, so is the law a succes? No!
I foresee the return of the good old days that hardware hackers soldered together their own hardware to be able to hack certain systems (mainly ma Bell had to suffer from this). All these protection schemes are vulnerable to the "uber"hackers and commercial pirates alike.
And for "old" equipment: HD-DVD, Blu-ray or any other new storage medium needs the backing of the recording & film industry to get of the ground. If necessary they will start a new standard incompatible with all the older equipment if it meets their requirements.
.... Dell won't help troubleshoot trouble caused by viruses, the most likely reason a non-technical person would damage their MBR, instead telling you to call their pay-for-service phone line....
Dell pre-installs anti-virus software, but with all the new viruses they can hardly be held responsible for helping anybody out with this. They would go broke if they have to answer all the questions for free, plus that (l)users will never even have the inclination to learn to manage their PC (Does not matter if it is MS Windows or any other OS). Maybe a pay-for-service line will make some people think and read a bit further, sometimes however the information needed is just put in the strangest of locations on the website, or the search function does not help anything at all. Directions from a helpdesk by just telling where the information is, will just help already.
So far multiple space telescopes have been scrapped (EOL) while new data was still being gathered. Those telescopes were not in space maintenable like Hubble proved to be. It is a tough job to repair/upgrade Hubble, that is why I made my commercial venture suggestion. The enterprise taking this on itself will have to do those calculations and see what will happen. NASA than can save for a new telescope. The bad part about this will be that the company taking over Hubble will probably not be happy with a better competitor if it comes within a certain period (lets say 3 years: One maintenance run now will keep Hubble running for this period (If nothing unexpected happens). So adjusting my view to: Short term (~3 years) intermediate solution.
Although NASA (or the US goverment, it is all politics) does not want to fund Hubble anymore, the telescope proves that it is valuable every time again. Astronomers just need more time with the equipment to take more readings of an object so that they can catch the details. Is it an idea that a commercial company adopts the Hubble telescope and rents the time on the telescope out again to different agencies around the globe? The price for the adoption could be the operational cost of keeping Hubble in orbit in working order.
I think they want to build it in the US for multiple reasons though:
- US citizens have most to spend, and an "US product is best".
- License issues and those same US citizens willing to go through the trouble of going to another country for a ride.
There are more ways to reduce the costs of this base:
1. Let discovery channel make a documentary "Megastructures: Building the spaceport" and get paid for it (ofcourse).
2. Rent the spaceport, still under construction out to the movie: Space comboys II: Now the spaceport is broken, and they have to fix that before a spaceship can land. Ofcourse one of the cowboys is on board to keep it unpredictably longer in robit by burning the furniture in the engines, and to make the impossible landing.
3. Lots of movies in the titles like "Space Virgins part X". Possible to rent the spaceport out in all stages of development, like "Space Virgins: Under constractors part Y" etc.

The Future of HTML

AJAX is used to request only the changing part of the pages. This way there is a significant speed up of the page, giving it much more acceptable reaction times than normal HTTP traffic. This ofcourse only works for interactive applications.. Retrieving normal data will not be faster by using this.
The US airforce today acknowledged defeat in cyberspace after being challenged by 1 individual, Johnathan Wendel, aka Fatal1ty. The chief of staff confirmed that after hurling 20 marines at Fatal1ty, they discovered that they were not able to defeat him. Extrapolating this knowledge to the rest of the airforce, they surrendered the complete airforce to him. There has not been any news yet from other defenses until now. The expectation of this news agency is however, that by the end of the month, the US will have a new president for live.
Note: This news agency is in no way forced to support either party because of continuing cyber attacks. We are not under attack, serious, we mean it.
Backroom noise: Aaahhh, he fragged me for the 10th time this hour. PUBLISH THE ITEM, PUBLISH THE ITEM!
Sounds like Microsoft to me. Microsoft has been saying this for years. They invented AJAX as an extention to speed up HTML since it is just not fast enough in their opinion.
I think however that a XML based document style, what HTML in essence is, is extremely easy to use with even the simplest tools. Any other document with that much layout options, needs extended editors (unless you know postscript out of your head, so you can do it in postscript (-: )
My website has a PR6 in google since I put some content on it. The start content was 6 links, and some under construction text, total size about 1kB. My conclusion based on that is: Avoid lots of images & complex pieces of html/javascript which only do little. Have a high content to HTML code ratio apparently is good for search engines. Google & MSN visit my site with now about 5kB of content several times a day, and I get lots of search hits. It is fun though if people really read your content and hopefully have some benefit from it (-: It is also fun if you enter the search queries with which the visitors find you, gets your ranked in the top 10 a lot, and sometimes even before major sites like Novell or McAfee.
Also the first "usefull" application for this kind of technique which popped up in my head. Actually, the process in my head to make this one item popup is maybe usefull too (-: Lot of random data, and this one is being associated with the article.

Yes, there was a second drug mentioned in one of the earlier articles which was expected to be much more effective. So no news here.

By fixing this bug, everybody is save from it. No one needs to keep their software up to date, great!
