Until China starts experiencing a massive die off due to the pollution. Eventually they'll probably wake up to the fact and require manufacturing to install preventive measure. By that point manufacturing in China will be as expensive as it is in the United States. I wonder what big business will do then?
Overdo the ads. I look at video sites like Hulu - a block of 140 seconds worth of the same ads repeated over and over again? That's a blocking just waiting to happen.
One 30 second bloc of ads is fine. But when you start slamming 4 to 6 ads at a time and every 7 to 10 minutes of a show, fuck you and your advertisers with a rusty spike, you're getting blocked.
A few years ago I got to do program reviews in local high school in Rhode Island. In one class they were learning the Microsoft Office suite.
All fine and good, but on that particular day they were working in Excel. The teacher had them doing a payroll spreadsheet. Ok, that works. But then the teacher mentioned the cheat sheet to get the tax amounts.
Based on that I asked the teacher if there was any intention to teach these kids Visual BASIC for Applications (VBA). The teachers answer was that you needed advanced math to be able to program a computer. I wrote this on my report and said that it would actually benefit the kids understanding of mathematics if they knew how to program in MS Office apps. I also said that the act of programming would actually enhance their mathematics skills. Let's face it, for most programming the math you need is to know the basic four functions, maybe modulo, E notation, and exponents. Pretty basic stuff.
So start getting these RasPi boards out there - start getting kids interested in programming on them. You might be surprised what you get out the other end of a project like this.
I had nothing BUT a net connection from the cable company. I re-upped TV a couple years ago but every day I question why I'm spending an $154 a month for cable and net service when I can get 100mpbs for $100 a month and all you can eat video.
I can think of a use for all the crt's. Here in RI we're still waging the marriage equality battle and the bigots like to bus them in. So I thought to be funny - I could get there ahead of time and setup a bunch of monitors around the room and just have it cycle through the faces of the supporters. Talk about an art installation.
I did a program review at a local high school. The class was learning how to use Microsoft Office. They were in Excel doing a payroll spreadsheet and referring to a cheat sheet for the tax rates, etc.
So I asked the teacher if they intended on teaching the kids how to code in VBA. Now VBA is pretty simple once you know the object model for the Office App. I.e. worksheets.sheets(x).cell(x). The teacher looked at me and said that in order to get to learn to program a computer you had to have all these math courses first. Was looking at her with some incredulity.
So on my review sheet I wrote in that a) they should be teaching the kids how to code because it teaches and reinforces what they've learned in math so far. You know, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, powers, and hopefully order of precedence. If they've had Algebra I they should be all set.
From what I heard later is that I rocked the schools little world.
I've been in jobs where the actual work could be phoned in. You could get caught up by say 10:30AM. The rest of the day you bullshitted with co-workers, had lunch, took a walk, did whatever.
In a lot of U.S. business it's nothing but busy work and seat time.
I must have the right terms in my resume. I'm getting emails, calls, etc. Of course I can tell they didn't READ my resume because I put catch terms in there that would clue them if they did.
But think about this 200W times 24 hours = 4.8kWh a day. Times 30 days = 144kWh at $0.14 per come out to $20.16 in electric usage. Still far more expensive than cloud based service.
Like I said, I based it on a 4U quad core server. But then I also gave the example of a dual CPU IBM eServer that would cost close to $60 a month in electricity. Meanwhile I use cloud for my email, web, and database stuff and it's $7 per month with bluehost.com
Well, my initial was based on a 4U server with 8 drives. So yeah.
But I have a 1U IBM eServer that draws 4.6A at 125VAC - so 575W. 575*24 = 13.8kWh a day. That means 30 days is 414kWh - $57.96 per month. That's for two drives and dual processors. It'd still be cheaper to put it in the cloud.
Around here we pay 14 cents per kWH for electricity. A server draws about 800W so 800 * 24 = 19.2kWh per day. Times 30 days it's 576kWh which comes out to $80.64 per month just for electricity.
Or - disconnect all SCADA devices from the network. Better yet, wire up an authentication module for the SCADA device instead of leaving security hole laden SCADA devices out there. Then of course you could re-write the IP stack for SCADA and vary the delay timing. That will stop a good many attacks.
Is that under the Bush Administration and Congress at the time they allowed the banks and insurance companies to merge. I knew then the game was up. Insurance companies are essentially parasitic in nature.
Back in the day I used to hang out with a guy with the call KA1RCI. Well, on RI plates the 1 and the I are kind of hard to distinguish. So I get in his truck one day and the glove compartment is STUFFED with parking tickets. I was like, how come they haven't booted you yet?
Then I looked at the tickets not only were they written KAIRCI but they also had the plate type as 01, whereas amateur radio call sign plates are type 18. Type matters.
And then there's my sk friend Kevin who had the call sign KA1FTW! The license is still active, maybe when it lapses I'll get it as a club call sign to replace the shitty one we have now which is KB1YSX.
As a kid I had vanity plates - my vax user name, it fit perfectly in six characters. And in Vaxen land it was your first name and the first and last letters of your last name that made up you username.
But friends of mine had the plates I-812 and OU-812. They had them for a few years until the DMV realized what it was referring to (I Ate One Two and Oh You Ate One Too) and yanked the plates.
And I once had the email address fuckewe@cox.net - until Cox figured out what it said and removed it.
That you have WiFi turned on. I leave mine turned off. In fact I only ever turn it on if I want to use a WiFi network. Otherwise 4G service is widespread enough I don't have to do so unless I'm in steel frame buildings.
So imagine my surprise when I saw at Macy's last night - they have in store WiFi! The evil in my wants to war drive it and see what else I can access.
This isn't so much a cure but it does arm the body with immune cells that are resistant to infection. That's a big deal. You'd still be HIV positive but the disease would never develop into the syndrome.
They're basically using elements of regenerative medicine here.

Would welcome Standard Time. If only because it'd be UTC-4 for us permanently instead of having to flip twice a year.
Yeah - I know. But the RasPi is intended for people who cannot afford the full up laptop or desktop. It fills a void.

Well, the electricity would come from the State house. That way it's no biggie.

When they do the high speed video of the thing - notice the flickering exit sign.

Before they learn how to knock the drones out of the air. It's just one upsmanship.

Just use ssh-keygen and setup the key pair.

VPS can be had for $7 to $20 per month.
