  1. power to wheels on Jet Turbine Locomotives · · Score: 0, Interesting

    Currently: Diesel > Generator > Electric Motors > Wheels
    Turbine A: Turbine > Generator > Electric Motors > Wheels
    Turbine B: Turbine > Gears > Wheels

    Is Turbine B possible? How do the losses of a generator & electric motors compare to a gear system?

  2. beowulf out of these? on Ask Donald Becker · · Score: -1

    What if we made a beowulf cluster out of Donald Becker clones?

  3. MessageWall on Slashback: Google, Prince, Bayesian · · Score: -1

    Straight from the homepage (www.messagewall.org):

    MessageWall is a free software SMTP proxy. It sits between the outside world and your mail server and keeps out viruses, spam and mail relaying. Unlike many existing ISP-level filtering solutions, it offers customization of filtering features on a per-address basis. MessageWall employs a scoring system that allows message rejection based on multiple rules with different weights, and header tagging when the message doesn't reach the threshold.

    Messagewall also does really cool things like virus filtering. Extremely effective for the mail servers I administrate.

  4. messagewall on Slashback: Pop-Ups, Books, Qmail · · Score: -1

    Messagewall is a wonderful smtp proxy that works with any MTA. It's very fast, and has tons of features including a checksum system that rivals vipul's razor and a scoring system.

    I've been running it on a mail server with two thousand email accounts, it is very stable and quite fast.

  7. geeks to the rescue on Iowa College Goes Paperless · · Score: -1

    Anyone know how to convince girls to do things they film on Girls Gone Wild? And how do you get it on video?

  8. linux on Playstation 3 CPU Almost Finished? · · Score: -1

    Suppose they are actually developing the PS3 so that it runs linux. There would be a benefit to Sony, Game Developers, and Linux Developers / Users.

    Game developers would be able to write a game that would run on both the PS3 and Linux....at the same time with little porting efforts. And from there, it wouldn't be all that difficult to port it to OS X.

    More corporate source contributions would inevidbly result. The benefit to Sony would be more games being developed for that platform, as developers have more incentive to develope on the Linux-compatible PS3.

  10. counter offers on Is it Wrong to Accept an Employment Counter-Offer? · · Score: -1

    Take the counter-offer to your 'new' employer. See if they will pay more, if so, take the counter-counter-offer to your current employer.

    See who bids the highest, your skills are worth money. Don't feel bad, forget anything about loyalty. THIS IS A CAPATLISTIC SOCIETY!

    And by the same token, don't just assume that 100 fps is the level of discernment; just because you heard it somewhere.

  16. new word processing feature - collaboration on The Myth of the Paperless Office · · Score: -1

    This would be a great way to collaborate - notes and what not on any subject.

    Let's say you have the original document on the left frame. On the right frame you have the notes feature.

    If you want to write notes on a particular string, line, paragraph, etc of text, simply click on the Notes Button, click the beginning of the string. Click the end of the string. This highlighted area assumes a new color.

    You click on the notes frame. It will automatically start your notes at the same height of the original text. When you type, the text will be of the same color as the text you are commenting on.

    Suppose all of these documents are then emailed to the creator, and then the creator's word processor has a merge comments function.

    This then takes all the notes and combines them (all the notes from different authors go to the right area in the notes frame; respective of height to the original text frame). Paperless office...there ya go.

  20. Re:Relay-testing on ORBZ Shuts Down · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Rupert, ORBZ has never intentionally exploited bugs in other people's software. The test involves sending an email to the mail server and having it bounced back to you. If the mail server is incapable of doing this without DOS'ing itself; well the issue is obvious.

    Before querying the server, how is orbz to know that it is lotus?

    I bet you are one of those people that masturbate listening to advertisements.

    There are lame people, like yourself, that go wet and gooey when they get free stuff.

    Then there are people that realize they have limited time, and if they want to enjoy music while they can, they will. And they WON'T PUT UP WITH ADS ANY LONGER! I find $10 a month very justifiable.
