The signal from a 1w in the middle of TX is lost in the noise and blocked by the horizon by the time it gets anywhere near the border. You might as well declare any and all transactions 'interstate' because they're all within 1000 miles of a border somewhere.
Actually the gp has a good point - a 1 watt FM station operating in the middle of Texas for all practical purposes can serve a small neighborhood community yet be way too weak to pick up in any surrounding state or Mexico except maybe very briefly under highly unusual circumstances. Yet the feds have the power to shut 'em down.
Bah, all these industrial sized sails and windmills are sure to lead to a depletion of the planetary wind system. All we need is the media to hype it up and people will be observing how it used to be windier years ago.
In a *real* Enterprise management system, the Supervisor would not only bring the Firewall up but arm the router with photon packets to launch countermeasures and take out the attacker if he doesn't stand down after the communications office issues a warning on all inband channels. Once the threat has been neutralized, a landing party of software agents can be scp'd over to investigate the situation.
Huh? A "normally closed" switch means it is ON normally, and when you press the button it interrupts the circuit removing power. They taught us that was done in case the wire falls off the switch or otherwise fails, the machinery will stop.
Also remember to wire your emergency 'off' switches as normally closed, so if the switch fails the equipment will stop. Nothing worse that going to switch off a 30HP motor that your tie is stuck in and the damn switch isn't working.
This is why project like SETI are bound to fail - the quaint 20th century notion of using diffuse 'broadcasting' of uncompressed, redundant intelligence (anything distinguishable from noise) using undirected RF energy in all directions is something the aliens abandoned millenniums ago, for more efficient point-to-point methods like this.
reminds me of those rural towns building landing strips for ufo's. Scrape off some land, put up a few signs, and wait for the tourists to come into town to spend money.
Oh ok. It was perfect timing since summer 1997 was my first job as a Windows NT4 admin and I was in charge of the Internet dialup gateway, hehehe. Spent a few hours a day on/. or ebay or, other neat stuff.
I used to hang out with model airplane enthusiasts and after watching flying snoopy doghouses, flying witches on brooms, flying lawn mowers, flying pizza pans, carpets, flags, picnic baskets, etc, people would just say, "You can make a brick fly if you put a big enough engine on it".
Unfortunately life itself is a suicide mission, you just don't *know* when it will end, and nobody gets out alive. So you can either, at best, die a slow death at a ripe old age surrounded by family and the best medical care, just like many do, or you can be famous as the founder of the first graveyard on mars. And think of the line you have to pick up girls at the bar before leaving.
You know, if I were Stever Ballmer I'd go ahead and have someone build me the biggest fargin chair tossing catapult ever built. He could afford it, and instead of trying to quell the image, just take it to rediculous extremes. It could be jokingly threatened against MS employees who don't respond to regular chair treatment.
I remember the "Novell Migration Tool" from circa 1996 - it allowed you to 'legally' voilate Novell license agreement (more than the licensed number of users could connect to a Novell server).

Are these the battle lines draw against Apple/ATT

The elegant solution is to partition each disk, and setup each partition as half a raid-0, then mirror the two disks.
Yes, that was a joke, like setting up swap space on a ram disk.
Flash, Reader Scorches Slashdot Editor - film at 11.
For a brief second I though it was about a VIA chip that someone overclocked and melted, and they were doing some kind of post mortum on it.
This would make an excellent episode of "Yes Minister" - of course Sir Humphrey would come up with some kind of solution.

And you're fired!

I think the GB spec is "Gates' Billions" spent on development and marketing the thing.

Maybe Dawkins says so, but I wish people could see that one deals with physics, and the other with metaphysics.
You'll never get first post (or market monopoly) by paying attention to details like that!

Didn't you read the fine print - "Most scientific studies are sloppy and tainted, except for this one"

Hmm, looks like a word from the Klingon:
Dah, engouh mojaqmeyvam divusnisbe
You can always join the Boy Scouts. But then you'd have to be honest, loyal and some other stuff.
I just hope they don't bring back a carnivore flying animal.
Gryphons would be a lot of fun.
