there's a lake in VA, Smith Mountain Lake, which was built to store electric power during off peak periods. Has to be not the most effecient means but that's the idea.
Ack, trade secret's are nothing new in business, whether it's the Colonel's 11 secret herbs and spices or Coke-a-cola's secret formula. But if, say, the Pepsi family of food products got together and concocted a recepie or formula such that anyone who drinks Pepsi gets sick should they eat any food products other than Pepsico's, then I think it would be totally within the jurisdiction of the FDA to say, "Hey, just what are you guys putting in that stuff that makes it do that anyway??". If you tried to eat a 'Chik fil-A' with a Pepsi and got Ill but whenever you eat a KFC product with Pepsi it was a-ok, naturally they're going to stand there and say, "See, KFC has much better products than that lousy Chic-fil-A stuff. The consumer has chosen. Now leave us alone to innovate new ways to crush any vestiage of competition. Thank You."
(the above analogy would fit better if there were a Pepsi drink monopoly (OS) they could leverage via secret chemistry to dominate the chicken industry (entre's or apps)).
Scratch 'n sniff - movies in "Smell-o-rama" - the upcoming 'tele-fragrance' will soon be available to enhance your web browsing experience. A very old "Popular Electronics" mag had a 'Carl and Jerry' episode involving a fragrance synthesizer - but for the "e-nose" some microwave ovens have some kind of organic molecule sensor to help determine when the meal was 'done', as a general rule (not always true) once you can smell it it's about ready.
it stars an Operating Thetan, level III, with powers to control space, time, matter, energy and consciousness beyond that acheived by 'clears', and who has also recieved the L10 course (at $1000/hr) which releases powers that have not been unleashed in this part of the galaxy in a long, long time! Critics of this deeply meaningful and realistically allogorical flick are certainly under the alien mind control influence of psychiatrists or on prozac. This movie will prove to be a milestone in the cleansing of earth from the evil implanted eons ago, leading us toward a time of no pain, no suffering, crime, war, disease or pestilence, a period of universal brotherly love and understanding, and no software bugs.
would love to get my hands on Smart Firmware - Imagine switching on your PC, having it boot FORTH from ROM, ala Sun workstations. Sweet. Demo for Linux available.
Patriot Sci. has a Java processor - actually it was a FORTH in Si processor origionally, but was 'retargeted' since FORTH bit the big one and became as relevant as LATIN. I'd like to try one out, since the RTX2010 only comes in (expensive) radiation hardened form.
A kinda sweet romance (and about the only anime I've seen) is Ah! My Goddess - the younger of the 3 goddess' is the Yggdrasil system's debugger. However I'm sure going to take suggestions from this article to the video rental store! Nice subject....
involves a scanner buff who moved to a rural district whose police dept scrambled transmissions. Not to be left out he bought, at great expense, a voice de-scrambler and got it all installed and the first intercept he taped and played it back thru the device and was finally able to clearly hear, "Chief, did you say you wanted mustard on that pastromi sandwich?"
Seriously, numbers stations sound like a great way to get messages to foreign operatives 'behind enemy lines', all you need is a common shortwave set, your one time pad and lots of patience - no phone lines to trace or tap, no microfilm to hide or lose, no contacts to verify, you get and decode the signals in private, the source is verified and can't be easily 'spoofed', etc.
It is poignant to hear this guy standing up for the rules that every composer/author/producer plays by - and getting smeared over it - but hey, these bad boys are just typecast for it, pay up or go to hell! You want free music? Move to Havana and enjoy the state orchestra. Let's see some garage bands produce records and GPL them, that'd be cool, just don't quit your day job.
spewing molten lava, plumes of sulpherous smoke - geez, if this were people working in a manufacturing plant they'd be elbow deep in environmental lawsuits and under orders to restore everything back to the way it was.
there's the appeals, and THEN a possible sea change in DC politics to a more corp. friendly 'hands off business' environment next Jan. So don't hold your breath.
But then, as we used to say, "The bigger they are the harder they fall".

Linux Failover?
·
· Score: 4
When Linux was cranking up last year the folks at TurboLinux sales called up promoting their fault tolerant cluster solution, altho it's not free you could get a timed demo - so Linux solutions exist.
Just a general observation - Linux is pretty well fleshed out with about anything you can think of in one form or another, it just isn't chasing you down with in-your-face ads and high pressure sales promos like other comercial products, so it may appear to be deficient but more often than not just a few days (for us slow pokes) search and trials will usually turn up an inexpensive quality solution in some stage of development hidden somewhere.
These photo's should prove invaluable in the coming centuries toward the planning and inevitable colinizing of Mars - BION some day Mars will be a very familier place, with regular flights taking people there to work and study for extended periods. Venus is out as way too inhospitable, but there should be ways to find Martian resources such as water, energy, building materials, etc to bootstrap a small industrial civilization capable of building hydroponic greenhouses, farms of alge, fish, plants, etc. It's inevitable.
After that, my goal is to return to and spend seven years in a monestary in the outskirts of Kathmandu studying the Dharma, emulating the Bodhisattva, finally attaining a degree in Compa rative Religion from Harvard, followed by enlightenment, metaphysical realization and entering Nirvana to host a global video conferance with the late Alan Watts, the Dali Lhama and Timothy Leary.
My goal is to write a universal 'bullshit detector' that can apply the derivation rules of logic from 'Principia Mathematica' to first principles of metaphysics and the grand unification theorm, creating all basic sciences, nuclear-plasma physics, astrophysics, chemistry, biology, medicine and then finally the psychology of human sexual behavior. This ambitious project, on hold awaiting govt funding, entails a self maintaining massive database of 'truths' derived (under human direction as to 'revelancy' to human needs, sort of a trusted derivable encyclopedia) from said fundamental principles, with the cognative ability to catagorize any random statement into TRUE or FALSE in a reasonable amount of time by cross correlating it to the massive database as logically derivable from self evident axioms or not, complete with referances to prior research, bibliography and derivation path (for human checking of logic) - sort of like an automated library research assistant, or like a web search engine but only capable of producing 'true' information, while all unfounded, non-derivable speculative ideas and plain ol' B.S. are weeded out as 'false' or at lease 'not yet proven', particularly the system's self-referential 'Gödel' theorms.
I'd like to implement this with a massive cluster of superconducting R TX-2001's or better yet the PSC1000 using a FORTH microcode as the propositional logic processor but haven't decided on the high level language yet. Even that physical implementation probably needs updating.
How about a rewrite of F-451, I'd suggest Gauss-10K (cheesy sci-fi background: that's the strength of the magnetic field required to erase all the information on a hard disk (not necessarily true, just too lazy to research the real numbers)) about a CRSPES (pronounced 'crispies', the CopyRight, Security and Privacy Enforcement Squad) unit that does dramatic public invasions of ISP's that have been fingered as harboring or transmitting Not Permitted (NP) information, with the protagonist clandistinely and successfully creating a 'data haven' hidden, to the global CRSPES forces chagrin, deep in the Himalayan mountains.
Hey, front me 1.5 yrs salary and I'll finish the story!
well, it's not too hard to be generous when your rolling in dough, I mean raking it in - geez, ever hear about the profit margins on SUV's being on the order of 10K per unit?
Just because you can shoplift doesn't mean everyone should. We're going thru a massive public education program right now and every ip worker needs to try every chance they get to enlighten folks to the rules, risks and punishments.
In fact, the more OSS advocates stand up for copyright protection the better oss projects look - I mean, if someone can rip off a copy of W2K it's way better than any Linux distro - but when you force people to factor in the $799 or whatever price tag per install then Linux et al are clearly the better choice. You either have to pay someone else (Msft) to do all your work, or you can do some work yourself and save a bundle.
