Frank Piasecki pioneered this stuff in the 1960's, setting speed records that held for decades, though I don't recall if he succeeded in breaking the so-called "Mu" limit.
Now, if the rotor really is unpowered, the damned things not capable of vertical takeoff anyway, its not really a helicopter, and so can't break any helicopter records anyway.
Is your claim that paramedics should allow the unconcious to bleed to death rather than risk offending the patients morals? Or are you proposing paramedics are knocking their patients unconsious so they can randomly install artificial blood products.?
Because if its the later I may want to become a paramedic!
Cue announcer, we haven't told them, but we've replaced these patients regular blood with new Dracu Instant Blood Product. Lets see if the can tell the difference!
3. Spend every minute of every day refunding money when they downloaded a mislabeled tune on the P2P network.
Because they aren't smart enough to use checksums, etc, right? Even if the source client is hacked, the end client can do a basic checksum/file length/random segment check to confirm the file is the desired file.
Why wouldn't the artists get Royalties? Everybody buys the music, they are just saving themselves the bandwidth by storing the music on your computer and using your bandwidth to deliver it. You get some token "credit" for your trouble, that you can spend on buying more stuff from them.
More interesting is their pricing structure. Will they try to raise prices, since they have already BMW'd about the.99 cent cost, or will they leverage their connections to undercut iTunes and get their own DRM solution in place?
I could probably hack my car to get better fuel economy and more power, but turn it into something that emits a lot more NOx and CO2. I own the vehicle (it's actually paid for, a 2002 model). Should I have the right to do this? I cannot say that I have an answer to that.
Yes, you have the right to do that. You do give up the privledge of driving that vehicle on the public roadways, however. This may be acceptable to you if your goal is to race the car in some way.
On the East Coast (and I suspect elsewhere), the default phone plan is the more expensive unlimited local service, because its cheaper for people who use their phone. If you're like me and have to have a land line for some hinkey equipment like a DSL line, apartment buzzer, or a DirecTiVo system, then you can save some money by using the Una-bomber plan, I get 10 outgoing calls, after which I pay a dime each call. (incoming calls are still free). This plan saves me about 60% vs a standard unlimited calls plan. I use my Cell phone exclusively for actually talking to people.
Bad analogy -- one of the key selling points of a Ferrari is the engine, which is analogous to the CPU/mobo, and there's unlikely to be a big difference there.
No, the world is chock full of engines that are equal to or better than the Ferrari. What the Ferrari has is an unequaled package, a balance focused on a single purpose.
Besides that, of course its a bad analogy, they are always flawed. The only good analogy is something like "Peas and carrots go together like peas and carrots"; which is really useful as an analogy...
even though the only difference will be a missing chip on the motherboard.
Just the way I mock those people who paid too much for their Ferrari's. I built mine with a VW Beettle frame and a fiberglass kit I ordered from a magazine. Man those "Ferrari ethusiasts" look down their nose at me because they paid too much for their cars. I laugh and laugh at them!
Problem is, just like the phreakers, while the hackers showed the way, organized crime (and yeah, I think I'll lump CoolWebSearch in that group) has pushed them out. The number of attacks related to real hackers is minimal these days, though there's enough idiots writing the tools thats the equivalent to giving uzis to schoolkids.
Suddenly we're all little piggiesliving in the big bad wolf's neighborhood and we're living in software houses built of twigs.
First the notebooks will go x86, then the budget desktops; Mac Mini and iMac, and lastly the Powermac and XServe
Interesting, but I think part of that will be driven by the performance of the new chips. If the new chips are as fast as the G5's, this will cause some problems. I suppose the first batch might face issues with PPC emulation to slow them down, and from the sounds of it they may not even be 64 bit, both of which would fit in with your migration.
Still, if I can get dual G5's for the 1.8Ghz price point, I might take that option. I love the mini, but am nevous about the power of the G4. I have to agree with the GP that the iMac was really compelling, even though I already own a 24" LCD...
If not how are they hurting? How can they seek damages?
Because if they bring it out now, its no longer innovative. Software patents validity aside, the point of the patent system is to give the innovator protection against the big guy who can bring a product to market faster. If Ely Whitney showed his Cotton Gin at the Expo to drum up investors and the local wagon shop said "Hey I can build a ton of those and sell them cheap", Ely has lost every one of those customers sold to, plus his investors, etc. Is the consumer better off? Cotton Gin consumers are, they get access to cheap Gins because the makers don't have to pay for the 15 years of development time. But in the long run, they are screwed, because Edison never bothered to set up his research lab, because there's no way to recover the money for the 1% inspiration or the 99% persperation, except by desparately trying to keep the secret safe, which invariable drives costs up and limits availability.
Dang it, its not the Americans, its the dang Sicilians! If they hadn't brought their "Mafia" technology to the Russians, the Eastern Bloc would be growing Organic Phoods that would taste better and make them all so much healthier!
When doing a speach in front of a group of people do you put on a clean set of cloths and at least comb your hair? Or do you roll out of bed with the cloths from 4 days ago with the holes in the shirt. Then give the presentation?
Not that I'm a spelling Nazi, but before you rant about others presentation skills, you might want to make sure you get you get your spelling down, not to mention thr grammer.
What they do is allow others to block email between two diffrent people, simply because they run the mail servers that sit between them.
Fortunately your title perfectly captured the content of your post. The mail admin (MA) has ALWAYS had the capability to block those emails. What the black list is supposed to provide is a listing of mail sources that conform to criteria X, so that MA can decide whether to block those sources. The only reason MA can block mail between two people is because A) One of those people has trusted MA to handle mail for them, or B) One of them is a A**hole attempting to relay mail through my server. The second MA doesn't need a blacklist for, a properly configured server handles them.
The problem addressed by TFA is that some Blacklist maintainers are going off mission and are blocking site for reasosn other than critera X. So while I might want to use an account that only blocks sources that have actively spammed a list of "seed" addresses in the last hour, I'd be quite pissed to find they were also blocking Walmart because they opened a store nearby.
I do what I can to monitor my Blacklists, and weed out the ones that seem too aggressive. Some seem to suck far more than I would expect given their charters, I suspect they may have been up to this sort of monkey business.
If eBay decides these are coming from zombie machines hosted by AOL, they might decide that the loss of AOL subscribers is worth it
But preventing AOL customers from using the site won't in any way affect the flood of phish and spam coming from AOL zombies, except for the small percentage of them that are actually sent to eBay. Besides, the reality is AOL is doing a lot to address the problem. You'd get far more effect getting Comcast to reform, given the service they are offering (always on high speed access).
What's this fascination with dirty words in the code?
The code might be compiled and run on some unsuspecting souls computer. Once the computer learns that kind of language, the next thing you know it will be downloading porn!
No, you don't. Its trivial for software to send packets with forged "from" headers, if you don't need to see the reply packets or can guess their contents, common with many attacks. If ISP's would simple filter their edge traffic (I know this node is only authorized to send traffic with source IP on network X) It would be a huge help.
The amount of crap I filter at my gateways with bogus source info (Private IP's, My IP's, unassigned IP's) is testament to that.
I was never a big fan, but it seemed to me he was the typical "Gunfighter turned preacher" trying to run away/atone for his past. Think 1985's "Pale Rider". Obviously not a direct rip, his background seemed to be tied to the government Firefly was trying hard to avoid, etc.
If you're standing in a bar and get hit in the face, well, you've just been hit in the face.
Except you can't be sure who hit you; and its more like being hit in the back of the head with a brick that has a name written on it. Is it the name of the guy who threw it? or did he write some elses name on it? You might as well grab some random guy and start a bar brawl while the guy with the brick sits back and laughs at you.

There's also the problem with the D/C melting the permafrost and sinking

Comcast, for one. They also care if you VPN to your work network.
We fear change.
