love there thinking , its like we have found an exploit in the system , but cant see how other humans could possibly understand there system as only scientists like them can understand it , so only aliens are likely to be a problem
name failure,, Hurricane , its a tropical storm or typhoon , but once above between 30 and 40 latitude it becomes an Arctic Cyclone hence ex / former/recently separated hurricane , as it got a devorce from having a name in the process, as arctic cyclones are not normaly named
it depends on the system environment , if your writing code to be used by a multi-thread o/s environment where use is discuraged as fearlessly as when you writing stand alone code for a embeded stand alone system where use of such can be expected , the other is the use of global vars
from what i recall , it does not defy the laws of physics , it uses a traveling em wave to crate "grip" to the static universal em background field , this method provides thrust from input power by creating a traveling wave that is out of phase to the external one causing motion , like swimming through the background field using the background field to displace it like a phase drive motor , just that its too easy to miss in the maths
As I see it, it expands like a bubble of air, as it grows, like its in a pot of hot water, the space inside containing fragments of, the stuff outside as it grows, black holes.
Who says they don't want the extra KDE look an feel settings , because there old and can't cope with style or is that the impression you give them because they may not understand how to protect against unwanted infections that you think they have no appreciation of style ?
a few years back it was the case that you had to fiddle about setting the drivers up to get things to work in linux.
but have to say its now xp that you find your still hunting for disks, to install the driver yet again because, the device is plugged into a different usb port than the last time. yea there are still a few devices that don't work in linux but not many. system admin mostly automatic now needing almost no attention the main reason i find linux better is from the admin and setup point of view
with linux
normally a 2 hour install including updates and most of the apps and the system is back pritty much as before usualy without disrupting any of my previous data
with windows maybe a couple of hours backing up old data first having to check for viruses on that data yea it installs in 30 mins , then the week or so hunting for driver disks and applications disks (keycodes on boxes etc ) the last time did it it was 30 or so restarts and a couple of days later that it had managed to get all the updates
i dont know about the rest of you but actually using the apps is more important than having to do sys admin and linux is way better but i guess the guys at microsoft enjoy it so much that's the way they take you so why the slogan "where do you want to go today " when you know the answer is to the it desk as sys admin is great fun "
patents may be an issue if there expected to manufacture these ( no idea if any of them are covered by patents ) , but not if you do it yourself build not for resale in that case instructions on how to are more the issue:) free speech
they would need educating on the simple facts like not standing between solar reflectors and the focal point of the reflector as they would get burned , moving parts should not be touched , and how to use the system it cant be assumed
because of the intended location of the units also would require the users of it to maintain the system also so would need to be made aware of the servicing information principles of operation and safety issues of that also
using helium party balloons placed inside a stronger by slightly smaller bag so it prevents the balloon form bursting under the higher pressure with a weight applied on top to provide the required pressure
h2 generation under pressure
2 long pipes one 3" drain pipe , one smaller plastic pipe placed inside it h2 electrode inside lower end of smaller diameter tube , and o2 electrode on the outer the tubes vertical so that the displacement of h2 down the smaller tube will not expose the electrodes at the maximum operating pressure water supply to keep it topped up
3 stirling engine , may be possible using parts from an old motorbike engine also,I lack a suitable workshop / machine shop to be able to have a go at that +0 funds
hmm using the solar furnace and converting the heat to electric , use the electric to convert water into h2 and o2 , storing the h2 and you have a store of h2 that can be used to cook with on demand at any time of day or night while not having the need for batteries that use large amounts of expensive and toxic chemicals
choice and availability of suitable materials for the power and gas storage are the main issues
crisp packet sealer to make storage bags / balloons ? , using standard pipe fittings for as much as possible of the parts needed to make a stirling engine ? a car alternator for the power generator ?
ok so some custom machined parts are going to be needed
although I am unsure of the size needed to produce enough h2 to meet the requirements and I have not looked at the designs there considering in the main article
computer CPU and software processes in a flat 1 dimensional stream nerual structures are emulated taking time to read each ones state one after another and simulate the actions of the interconnects to get the result
"Hardware/softcore" FPGA based neural net would form a flat even 2 dimensional "grid" array
but a DNA based brain is both a 3D structure and also has sub "fractal" patterned interconnected structures within it
to form even a bee style neural structure in a FPGA would still need the logic cells to be arranged in the correct "fractal" patterned structure of interconnects
ether way current processing technology does not lend itself to creation of viable neural net structures that would allow for a fair comparison
nomatter what method of encription is used theres no point trying to cover up having used data space , but the more wide sperad the encription is used , the more development there is on tools to counteract it , meaning whatever encription is used it may as well not be there in the end , ie it possible in 60 second to crack all the gsm phone keys regardless of the encrption
well there all wrong you see in the first moments after the big bang the opted to say space expanded faster than light as that fits the theory that particles cannot travel faster than light because if a particle travels faster than light then it travels back in time but that fits better as firstly the big bang has not happend yet and the whole universe is a paradox and that explains everything
the other point about cost that is often overlooked and can be more important in some ways
is the fact that the school may get it for free , but the students are forced to buy copies for home use
this leads to a divide , and the better off students can afford to buy the software , leaving the less well of to eather pirate it or do without
so regardless of the studants actual learning ability over another he his left with the choice of eather break the law and use a pirate version or do without and suffer worse grades
ok so software suitability matters , but FOSS software is suitable for most classroom tasks
cost is not the only point and one important point that the story missed is with FOSS there is normaly a selection of applications that do the same function for example open office , k office , and a number of other word processors available this can show students software diversity , so they get used to working with a number of applications so not leading them into the trap of there is only ever one program you will ever need to learn sort of attitude that seems to be the case with comertial software where the school may only say install m$ office , so the students never learn any other application for the task
it may not always be easy to show them a few applications in depth , and the students may tend to stick to just one , but it shows them that there is more to see if there interested in finding out about it and tends to make less "sheep" that will only ever use one application and complain if its changed because they get used to the differences at a early age , the same is true for learing differant spoken languages at a young age making it easier to learn others later in life, where as thouse that only learned one language have great difficulty learing another late in life
those of us that where around before windows and dos got used to almost a new o/s and set of applications with nearly every new machine and switching to something different is rather painless , and more what we tended to expect , but since windows the average windows user finds it such a pain to have to think about having to change to something different , to the point that even the change from one version to the next is almost too much for some , there are still people out there using windows 95 and the applications they got way back then at some cost
anyway the point for the cost of FOSS is not the primary reason from the schools point , but it is of a better benefit to the students and could lead to grades in a deprived area being better because the students have free legal access to use the software at home also it will allow the school to provide the students with copies of the software and setting a good moral example in the proccess and not leading them to pirating , and fear of is it life there now for software piracy ? ho well go mug that guy for the money and buy the software you will only get 5 years for that , sort of message the usa is sending out the the kids there at the moment
for higher level stuff like programming , all the tools and compilers are available for free and better than that there is mountains of source code that can be used as examples , and no fear of legal action if the teacher wants to printout and handout sections of code as examples to the class for education FOSS is ideal

solar is one way , but not suitable for cloudy mountain regions where wind or water power may be better suited
patents may be an issue if there expected to manufacture these ( no idea if any of them are covered by patents ) , but not if you do it yourself build not for resale :) free speech

they use the MIPS based, as its derived from a GPL version of the MIPS technology
so they can produce it without patent problems
but DEC made the Alpha CPU GPL before DEC got eaten by compaq so that should be free to use also
infact some of the alpha tec like programable microcode was incoparated into the p4 released after that
the Alpha cpu would be a better architecture to base a system around
other than i have not seen a free download softcore for the Alpha cpu yet (although not looked for some time )

wow
well if true then we can make a real space ship from pastic foil , selotape and balsa wood
and some weather monitoring kit for navigation i expect
given that it may crash is another point , but its got to be cheaper than a shuttle
242 wow sounds like you found the suspected linux patent violations
and proof there not in linux
seems this latest event sounds like a terrorist trying to cover his tracks
the person responcable for the deletion of the emails should be arrested under the patriot act as being a potential terrorist
just because he is the elected president should not make him exempt form that
