Reading Pearl Harbor Betrayed and thinking of how it relates to today; the motto should be, Do the best you can with what you have, and don't freeze by armchairing yourself the next day.
BTW, the book is really, really well footnoted, and your basic scholar should enjoy it as much as your basic idiot [me].
M$ refused to support their NT as it was installed by Dell, but even after I bought a standalone, they would not support it [because it was an upgrade?]; and Dell hadn't a _clue_ where to start.
How's that supposed to work?
I work for a pneumatics concern, and we were approachhed by a guy, in St. Louis I think, who built and is running a Geo powered by air. Something like a Stirling, maybe? The compressed air, stored in a tank, recycles between a couple of our valves (names withheld to protect...well, everybody). The valves turn a flywheel, etc.
I searched the web perfunctorily, and didn't find any current links, but there was an old one (http://home.hccnet.nl/jv.stap/technics/pneumocar. html); can anyone provide more info?
Where I work, we still offer pneumatic valves for the mobile industrial and marine markets that were designed in WWII. Nobody wants to buy them for a new machine design becuase they are too expensive... but we still sell the serviceable parts for them, because they are still in use, sixty-plus years later! And _that_, Virginia, is why things today seem to be of lesser 'quality' (which is a subjective term to begin with) than these old gems.
This is the Amazon (c) book review of their best seller [emphasis added] :
Seth Godin, one of the world's foremost online promoters, offers his best advice for advertising in Permission Marketing. Godin argues that businesses can no longer rely solely on traditional forms of "interruption advertising" in magazines, mailings, or radio and television commercials. He writes that today consumers are bombarded by marketing messages almost everywhere they go. If you want to grab someone's attention, you first need to get his or her permission with some kind of bait--a free sample, a big discount, a contest, an 800 number, or even just an opinion survey.
***Once a customer volunteers his or her time, you're on your way to establishing a long-term relationship and making a sale. "By talking only to volunteers, Permission Marketing guarantees that consumers pay more attention to the marketing message," he writes. "It serves both customers and marketers in a symbiotic exchange."***...exchange this...

Your digest-mode humor sits very well with me today.
