Read the discussion on the gphotofs site. People are working on this. One problem is that Canon doesn't support upload, which is the camera owned by the developer, but others have gotten writes to work.
You aren't going to use the power straight from the loco. Its too noisy and takes too long to start up. Which is why I said battery room. What you want is a UPS running from batteries able to provide power for at least 30 minutes. That gives you time to find the crank handle for the locomotive (heh). Just run whatever power comes off the diesel into some big converters and use it to charge batteries. Then have the UPS give you nice clean power out. You also won't need to start the diesel up for every 5-second outage when a breaker trips somewhere.
What you want is an old diesel-electric loco like the Alco S-2 which is basically a 1000 HP diesel generator and some electric motors that you won't need. Imagine having one of these sitting outside your data center battery room. Unlimited nerd points.
Like many people, I have a home computer attached to broadband, with a dynamic domain name and always on. It seems like I ought to be able to use it as a secure encrypted web proxy so that I can use my laptop on the road without worrying about eavesdropping. One method I can think of is to connect via a VPN and then configure my home address as the HTTP proxy in firefox, but I'm not sure how to guarantee that everything is going through the VPN and not through the insecure local net.
Lots of the satellites like GOES, etc. use a single sensor and a spinning mirror. So the horizontal is scanned by the mirror, and the vertical is scanned by the satellite motion. That gives you raster data with a single "pixel" sensor and it is already serialized in the correct order for transmission to the ground.
This also suggests that life is probably fairly common throughout the universe. It clearly does not depend on the conditions on the surface of our planet. Might want to modify a couple of terms in the Drake equation.
That's desperation. Deval Patrick is going to clobber Kerry Healey. The masses aren't that stupid. Healey's latest stunt of suggesting to end turnpike tolls isn't going to work, either. We all know they'll change their mind right after the election.
I served on a jury a few years ago. It was an eye-opening experience. The jury was housewives or people like me too stupid to get out of jury duty. As a group, the jury noticed everything going on during the trial and came to a fair decision very quickly. Much better, I think, than if a single judge had been simultaneously presiding over and deciding the case.
I have more respect now then I did before serving on the "wisdom of the masses".
According to the article, IDC claims that most of the dual-OS machines in the world are servers rather than desktops. I find that rather surprising. Most servers are intended for constant use, so I can't see them switching back and forth a lot. Whereas, I can imagine many people wanting to switch between Unix or Linux, and Windows on their desktop as they do different tasks.

Every example that I've seen shows how to convert one loop into two loops totalling more statements. Can anyone explain to me how it makes my JS code simpler?
That was gouging. Look at the historical charts. Crude oil only doubled in price from 1973 ($14.57) to 1979 ($30.37), but gas price at the pump went from $0.68 to $2.67 in constant dollars. That wasn't OPEC, it was the oil refiners in this country. As for how quickly it came down - you can see it didn't get back down to the 1979 level until 1985. I don't think OPEC cared about alternate energy, they cared a lot more about the Trans-Alaska pipeline.
Are you implying that deregulation (removing the price cap set by Nixon) caused prices to fall? Prices doubled after deregulation. They only came down when the trouble in Iran ended. Also, Congress passed the law and set the timetable that resulted in the dereg occurring under Reagan. It wasn't done by executive order.
What? Deregulation of gas and oil, leading to higher prices, made alternative nuclear energy LESS attractive? Did you discover a new principle of economics somewhere?
Anyway, let me be the first to say that floating nuclear plants are a great idea. No, more than great, they are a Titanic idea.

Looks like they last changed their dispute policy on Nov 2, 2006. I think it used to just be a page that said "FOAD, sucker".

Another way to think about it is:
How much energy did you need to keep 1 TB of data online in 1980?
How much does it take today?
I would say the disk drive mfgs. have done their part.

It's a French website translated to Anglais. The French spellings all look correct.
Thanks.
So as long as setting that default guarantees that all software uses it, I'm OK.

Looks like they think it's fixed.

Typically, unimplemented instructions cause an exception. The operation can then be emulated in software.

My thoughts exactly. (heh)
What good is the yield/next iterator?

Ooops - I type faster than I think. The chart of gas price is natural gas, my mistake, ignore previous.

You mean the FCC mandate that all TVs on sale after March 1, 2007 must support ATSC? And all TVs over 25" being sold right now? Is that soon enough?
