  1. well it might be a good science source on Cosmic Rays From Galactic Black Holes · · Score: 1

    hmm thinking about it even the new HDC cann't speedup atoms like those Blackholes do (about 99.9% speed of light) with thise speeds i read the atoms do weight as much as a bacterium.

    In other words if they used this data they had the best accelerator

    So why dont they use it to gather data ????

  2. ehm symbian is a big laugh too. on Symbian Blasts Google's Phone Initiative · · Score: 1

    Sybian devices are such a poor devices that I'm surprised that CEO's use them at all. For them it's a bling bling device. But as all 'bling bling' cheap and worthless too. But that's their sales practice, show it to the high people and then force it into a company... While real IT workers rather have those other mobile platforms. For example windows mobile 2003 or well etc those devices at least do very simple integrate within visual studio So it's easy to develop business applications or other type of applications for it. To give an example using my PDA I can phone I can mail I can control my TV by IR I can do GPRS traveling I can use timer to cook an egg I can use excel or word, or even take remote control of my server trough a VPN and terminal server I can use it as programable calculator (an emulation) It has an HTML editor If it only had a biger screen i wouldnt use my computer, as its also damn fast too this device. Oh and symbian i almost forgot the device counts for 2 user connections to an Exchange server (poor software cause bad performance load).. So if you plan to rollout symbian, think of upgrading your servers to high end server.. keep that as a free advice reminder.. :)) Perhaps some might want to use an iphone, but I don't understand that hype, I was never able to understand apple. Although I do a bit admire those people who keep so attached to some hardware, almost like some UNIX people I know of. To me I don't care, but I do think a software solution should not depend to much on hardware and it should be very easy to program on. To me that is the windows platform; although I hope to that Linux will come with some good PDA OS and software alternatives too (how about a GNU public GPRS driving solution, that's a hot market..)

  7. i'm loosing it on Slashdot ,have you seen the link on Titan's Tropical Weather · · Score: 1

    I think i'm loosing it here on Slashdot This information is not much more then a copy of some science news on many bulletins a few days ago. Well that's not to bad, one might miss some topics and find them back here in slashdot But then slashdot is a discussion board, so the collective brain of all nerds here on earth. At least I would think someone posting an article here putting an opinion, or some thoughts about it here too. So the collective can get amused with some thinking. Well there is no opinion, there is no discussion. Almost all replies are funny as those nerds don't know how to react it seams, on pure information. It's like telling them did you know I can see trough air. (a stupid fact). I thinkwe shouldn't use discussions boards for "hey have you seen this link". We got google for that. So whats wrong here, is it the quality of the article post, or is it the quality of the people posting, what is wrong here there is nothing here which would someone to require to think about, on a discussion board.

  13. Use compressed terminal services on What To Do When Broadband is Not An Option? · · Score: 1

    Well perhaps you can convince your company to use something like Citrix metaframe.
    It's a virtual desktop, the software runs on their server giving you basicly the view of a desktop.
    All their software can be put in there with full functionality if you use windows, outlook word excel etc.

    What you get, is only a compressed data stream of that desktop view, and you send only some mouse positions and pressed keys. Therefor it doesn't require much since its also compressed in a smart way (only the parts that change on screen will be sended). And if i remember well a phone line is enough. (ask citrix people/vendor)

    Ofcourse you would set it up as a not to big screen with a not to high screendepth, if i was you.
    YOu can set that when your making a connection.

    I work in the IT, and i often take over screens with simmilair softwarem over slow connections.

    Another option is use web brouwser based email, (if your on MS use Exchange Outlook web access instead of outlook).
    If you use also other company software ask if there is a web based version of it.
    Perhaps less functioniality but often people dont require full functionality like outlook (like me).

    Also discuss this with you company perhaps you're not the only one.

    Well hope it helps

    Welll i understand your point, dont want to argue it's your experience so here is one of mine
    Ever wondered how many mistakes happen at real docters, ever wondered ?.

    My own example :

    My chyro solved my neck problem, it was so bad i couldnt move my head to left or right anymore.
    Just after two visits it was solved. (i was a bit amazed of this)

    But intrestingly the year before i had it too, i was afraid of a chyro then. So then i went to a doctor.
    He gave me pills for muscle relaxation and against the pain. It got me internal bleedings those medicines.
    And when i showed this medications to other dokters they where very supriced i was given such strong medicines.
    Those are no good for your stomach they told me, you better stop it....
    I still kept my neck problems then for several month's.. :(

  15. Re:IMportant note on Science vs. Homeopathy · · Score: 1

    It's just that kind of framework you have which you call scientific is not a reference for our real world.
    For example there is no solution for string theory, no understanding of quantum physics.
    I could keepon going with this.

    On the other side some cultures use acupuncture way before we could spell.
    Your science cannt prove how it works, but it works for a lot of people.

    We learned a lot by experiencing even by testing effects of weeds, there are things we dont understand but who do work.
    Some people may find a need to understand it all, but most dont bother if it helps.

    And i personaly have rather a bad acupuncture then a bad pil experience. (which i've had had several times).
    What scares me most doctors wo beleive they understand it all.

    So finaly after several visits to the hospitals i asked that specialist. He explained that what i have was not in reach of modern docters like himself. It's the unexplainable field we cannot enter and dont understand (pain in head).

    So i asked :
    You must have had patients similair to me, did acupuncture or something else ever helped ?.
    Well he didn't believe in those hocus pocus dokters he told me.
    He gave a long talk about psudo docters and ended with the
    warning; "you know they have to pay their houses two, remember that".

    Only a few seconds later he told me, my time for this visit was up and asked for the next one


    (so i had spend my time there my money was in, so next one please !!!!


    Fact several days later i did went to an acupuncturist and he did help me
    It's not over yet but better then before.
    I hope one day those "real" doctors will learn from those hocus pocus docters, as currently for me the real docters have lost their magic :)

  17. Believes are Fake.. on Belgium May Prosecute the Church of Scientology · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry to say, but most believes are just plain political frauds for hundreds of years.

    For example Church of Scientology, just compare to a tax paradise. Like any other american religion based tax paradise, they all believe in god. But apperently that guy cannt give them money, altough he is in 'their' control.

    What I mean by politcal fraud, different believes have the same stories, they use other peoples stories to enrich their stories. You dont believe me ofcourse, but mark my words in about 500 years the coca cola figure on christmas will be declared as a wholy figure. It went the same for the ark of noah and other stories.

    Ofcourse you dont believe me just take that on hour watch to http//www.zeitgeistmovie.com/ and then reply and explain to me what you saw at that movie. Would you then still think it all started with a book i doubt you..

  23. perhaps usefully on Transitioning From Developer To Management? · · Score: 1

    ehm well dont worry, i got that strange feeling that a lot of managers are not realy educated too.
    In fact more often their technical skills are below average, they are often highschool drop outs.
    And yes they steel more money from a company then the average worker.
    By using office things for personal usage "hey thats a nice symbian / pda /laptop... woehahaha

    The only magic is managers (believe) that they have some idea of cost and profit control of their team.
    Alltough most of times they are not informed by real figures, or long term goals of a company.
    Small managers are far more often just the working dogs for the higher management, doing the ugly work.
    But be sure to always say yes to those guys above you, as you're only allowed to argue with people below you.

    If you're attached to the people's work around you, you will be probaply a poor but nice manager.
    Realy i like these kind of human mangagers (i've had a lot of types).

    If you just dont care about their work but see another more profit chanche at some other division, and you just follow your money track. Then you're not nice, but life is perhaps more simple, alway abend failing tasks soon. Dont feel your need to be in touch with that blame others. Only go for the winning goals of your company. And you will soon climb up the monkey tree. (yeah a tree because you know the shit always falls down the tree).

    Hm i would recomend to read a lot of dilbert stuff.

    So you will oversee a lot of these days strategies, overseeing things is a good way of understanding it as whole.
    And altough you might think you are important always keep in mind, when you become less technical you're no longer something that brings money in, but become something that cost money for a company. So be sure people dont see you as a waste of money.
