Great this map servers as a good first start on outlining the rebuild and no rebuild zones. Areas that are flooded don't rebuild; areas that are dry rebuild... maybe. Of course this would assume that humans are forward thinking and rational.
I know there are those that think what about the cultural heritage or NO is the historical fabric of jazz and must be rebuilt at all costs. The question whose is going to pay those costs.
Plus it is a vacation day as you correctly pointed out
Are you suggesting the average slashdot reader is enjoying this long weekend like normal folk do?
Right now the majority of denizens of slash are peering into monitors in the mothers basement, studio apartments, wifi in the coffee shop, upstairs in the overheated spare bedroom, or dorm rooms. Sitting motionless except for the sporaidic deft fingers clicking on the keyboard of slow arc movement of the mouse. Sad but true. Wait my mom is yelling for me upstairs I gotta go....
This is a prefect flame fest topic - great scheduling for a vacation day. I will venture to guess the posts will be well into the 1000's
Now what does it matter if Mysql partnered up with SCO. SCO as a O/S provider is history may a well extract a scraps of meat from the bones.
Into "safe mode" ya right. What really happened is that in the last communication transaction the probe responded with a previously unknown debugging message "Sorry Houston I can't do that"
Lets not forget the Guinea Worm Foundation whose goal is to preserve and protect the Guinea Worm. They ask the question "Who speaks for the Guinea Worm"? With the clamour to save "cute" megafauna some of the less huggable and furry creature get a raw deal. In fact there are organization that are dedicated to the heartless eradication of the Guinea Worm.
Wait a dogone minute.... is there link between be coal power and ozone? I thought the Ozone Hole was do to CFC release into the air and Comsic Rays. In fact, burning coal releases ozone.
The science is right rest assured. I have been recently doing prelim testing on my Ozone Hole Generator ® in my quest for world domination. I have choosen using the antartic as my test bed since I didn't want to tip my hand too soon. But things are shaping up quite nicely I will be submitting my demands... err offer soon, actually I like to
think of it as my IPO Muahahahahahah.
Nice analogy but I don't think it fully applies. There is nothing inherently evil about search engine optimization. The search engines are do or die for small e-commerce sites and optimizing your content to get the most notice is something you cannot ignore.
Now spamming link sites to increase your page ranking (ie getting more google votes) can be seen as sleazy. If you do a Google search on any niche product and look at the top google fetches typically will find a sleazy seo behind the scenes providing mass links. I wish google would improve it algorithm to validate these links.
In fact, way too many Diatoms to fit into a young earth. I just did a little research and diatoms are tiny single-celled animal that lives in salt and fresh water. When diatoms die and collect on the ocean or lake floor they buried deeper and deeper and deeper over many centuries. After being buried they are compressed into what is known as diatomite or diatomaceous earth. If the diatomite is squeezed and heated it forms chert and even more squeezing and heating you get Opals.
There are huge deposits of diatomite. For example
the Monterey formation of southern California. This single deposit of compressed dead diatoms and other fossils are large enough to cover the earth to a depth of a several inches!
But there are other deposits and this guy claims that there "are enough dead diatoms to cover the earth uniformly to a depth of 21 meters, or 70 feet!"
Taking into account that these diatoms had a certain life span you can only come up with long long long periods of time to accomodate their deposition.
You can argue about evolution all day long but to argue for a young earth takes some mental gymnastics.
For example a quote from his web site:
If you consider... leap-seconds (the slowing down of the Earth)... If the earth were indeed billions (or even a million) years old, it would be spinning so fast that nothing would be able to survive on it...
The spindown rate of the earth is 1.5 to 2 milliseconds per day per century according to the Navy. That means that after 100 years, the length of day has systematically increased (on average) 0.0015 to 0.002 seconds. Now the spin rate is variable but even at these very low numbers billions of years are not a problem. This site does some math and it comes out around 22.7 hour day 370 Million years ago. His other arguements for young earth have been refuted many place on the web if you look with unbiased mind.
Often most old/young arguments require assumptions such as constant value of decay rates, layering rates, hyper-catastrophic processes not
found today, etc. But there are many geological formations you can walk up to and observe directly that provide strong evidence for an old earth and tortured earth.
The best formation suggesting a very old earth are angular unconformities which require at a minimum the follow processes:
deposition
cementation and sometime metamorphosis
uplift and tilting
erosion
deposition (again)
cementation (of new layer)
As an example this image i took on vacation of unconformity
mount Everts in Yellowstone show a huge unconformity. Notice the tilted Jurassic sedimentation at the base and then a basalt layer above. Do a image search on google and you will find many more examples and even one at the bottom of the grand canyon.
Another good example of is basalt layering. Here you have sedimentation a basalt flow, sedimentation again, basalt flow and sedimentation again. I ask YEC which one of these layers is the Noah flood.
There are many more geological formations, such as limestone deposits, chalk, diatoms deposition which are all microorganism remains or secreations.
Fact: You can have more medical knowledge without having to pay to be certified as a medical doctor,
especially if you are really good at Google. And just because you have a medical degree does not
mean you actually know the material as well as someone who is not certified (and is really good at Google).
For example, you might just be good at taking tests. So what is the point in going to a board certified surgeon? Just to
put your care into the hands of someone whose has a silly piece of paper?
The bottom line is that IT and software development is a profession and that includes knowledge acquisition
and demonstration of that proficiency.
What are you saying they don't have a lottery style legal liability system where someone with deep pockets is liable for every stupid thing that happens to people. How unamerican! I say we liberate them from such tyranny.
This sounds low and optimistic. I wish them luck but when you are dealing with the public you have to design for the lowest common denominator and that can be surprisingly low. Liability insurance will cost an arm and leg for this venture.
Also there is a certain sense of entitlement and disrespect of others or common property that is engrained in the public mind. This is why projects that attempt to altrustically provide free public bicycles often (always?) fail.
Just about everything you posted in wrong. For example if contacting CJD requires a genetic defect then how do you explain the cluster of CJD found in southern Idaho recently (please no hillbilly jokes). European cows and sheep where effected in huge numbers because of feeding practices and not inbreeding.
Also Kuru a prion disease found in tribes in New Guinea was found to be caused by a tradition of eating dead relatives as a religious practice.
Global warming is here. There are those who will attempt to disagree but the evidence is
growing.
So the question is how to strategically pick investments that will pay off with the trend.
Sounds greedy and selfish but the tragedy of the commons will not be denied. So ideas
Short ski resort stocks in fringe areas.
Short insurance companies since hurricanes will tend to be more prevasive
Short northern europe in general since the gulf stream will cool the area
Buy energy stocks as more energy will be required to cool and heat with more temperature extremes
Buy Wind, Wave, Solar, Nuclear energy stocks as the public will eventually demand more emphasis on non-green house gas sources.
Well thanks for that definition I thought for a while there that Dark Fiber was fiber laid by the Orcs of Khazad-Dum as directed by the Dark Lord Sauron for his sinster parallel Dark Internet with the Witch King of Angmar as the system administrator.
When some asks what car we drive we often say "Ford" or "Toyota" we don't say we drive a "Huygens/Rivaz/Lenoir/Benz" derived product. This is eventhough the IP from todays automobile is probably over 50% from these original source. It is convience if nothing else.
Also if I install the cygwin on my window machine do I refer to it as GNU/Win? Not discounting GNU's contribution which has been instrumental but you have to draw the line somewhere. Stallman should be able to satisfied that the creation of the GPL is more historically significant than the some prefix or suffix name that will eventually be dropped in by future generations anyway.
Because we are too busy spending our childrens inheritance on finding Iraqi WMD um err.... well no actually we are fighting the terrorist over there so that we do not have to fight them in street here err.... no well because we are bringing peace and demoracy to the middle east err.... look it is a noble cause ok just dont ask Bush why because he is still searching for the answer.
They tried going to the moon first without first getting a capsule in orbit. Classic example of a too large a leap without the necessary prototyping with too much up front design. An old saying sums it up "If you want to grind a mirror to build a 6 inch telescope it is faster to first build a 4 inch."
uhmm what you described is indeed the method that the article mentions but that is not spoofing.
I was addressing the parent message that was suggesting spoofing was used.
IP spoofing does not allow for anonymous access. This is a common misconception. Any sort of spoofing beyond simple floods require the attacker to be on the same subnet as the attackee (nonblind spoofing). As far as blind spoofing all modern OSs implement random sequence numbers, making blind spoofing very unlikely.
