Yes, I have run into the "over heat and fall off the bus" issue. I ended up having to depower (pull the plugs on the host system) the system entirely in order to get them to work correctly after that. On both of the systems I have setup Phi Cards, I had to update the BIOS and set the system fans to run full speed all of the time.
It would have been nice if the cards included their own throttling...
Good. The current generation Phi cards are a pain to administer. With luck the new generation will be more fully baked.
- very hot card, no fans
- depends on software to down throttle the cards (mine have hit 104C)
- stripped down OS running on the cards, poor user facing directions for the usage
Next post, I'll describe how the entire "entrprenuerial" community in Silcon Valley are a bunch of rip-off artists.
As a person seeking to work for myself, I would like to see a detailed analysis. Although, this may only be so I don't feel bad becoming a rip-off artist myself.
The change of name from LiveScript to JavaScript roughly coincided with Netscape adding support for Java technology in its Netscape Navigator web browser. The final choice of name caused confusion, giving the impression that the language was a spin-off of the Java programming language, and the choice has been characterized by many as a marketing ploy by Netscape to give JavaScript the cachet of what was then the hot new web programming language.
I had thought there was pretty conclusive evidence that 12-step programs didn't work? http://www.orange-papers.org/orange-effectiveness.html.

My source is not better, just different. We need some real authoratitive research into "does this work", before "why does this work".
Any cool start-ups selling medical diagnosis software?
I can see the need for my lawyer and second doctor to have access to them, but I don't see how I will be able to do anything useful with them.
I predict medical malpractice will disintegrate. Too often we non-experts are expected to make expert level decisions. With the records there will be less of an excuse.
The story does illustrate one of the many issues. Different people need information communicated in different ways. Some want CO2 exhaust listed in tonnage, others need comparison charts.
Personally, I find comparisons to "average households" to be meaningless, but a comparison with "middle-aged bicycle commuters, both by time and miles" would be great
Less than a year ago we had a piece of laboratory equipment die due to the hardware of the controller PC. After guessing about the probable failure rates of various options, we purchased a new version of the instrument. The instrument arrived with a new controller PC with WinXP installed on it. The installer then told me how his company had to really work to find a copy of WinXP for the system.
So the plan of upgrading out of WinXP will only work once all hardware vendors no longer have access to copies and instrumentation suppliers stop being able to get copies.
There has to be a way to make this statement more clearly. The less coupled with the NOT is too close to multiple negatives for my lightning fast reads.
"This would mean that there was even less of Ubuntu that was NOT shaped and polished by folk other than Canonical â" a move that one would think would be well received."
There was once a show on Comedy Central focusing on a guy that would run scams.
In one he got his home cleaned for free by posting an advertisement for lingerie models for a calendar for an equestrian magazine. When the girls showed up he had them pose with cleaning supplies and “pretend” to clean. It took him all day, but his house was clean for free.
He explained that he chose an equestrian magazine so that it would send up a red flag and eliminate all of the smart people that would cause trouble.
If the Germans are announcing this, I can imply that many governments have just such an organization.
I don't think my 1337 skills are up to the task of fighting off actual armies.
Reminds me of an old Dan's Data http://www.dansdata.com/gz039.htm.
At some point he discusses ferroresonant power conditioners. Presumably one can get a whole house version.
Warning: I am operating from memory, I didn't actually read the article again.
Can't we just put laser filters on the cockpit windows (or have the pilots wear laser safety glasses)? Maybe we can't filter *every* color laser (that may block too much normal light), but we could filter the green ones which the article mentions as the more troublesome type.
Pardus is an entertaining game. One could play for long stretches avoiding most other players.
If one joined a strong faction, one could stay within their territory, working for the "man" and have a good time. Unfortunately, it is a game with a limited number of "moves" per day.
Anyone else get all excited to see games they used to play in scientific papers? If I had known I could have published on it, I would have played more during grad school.
I have heard, but do not have a reputable source, that the overhead on NASA projects is 500%.
For those who do not know, budgets for academia and government work are calculated roughly as:
Actual Costs * Overhead = Budget
The Overhead goes to things like facilities, accounting, IT, etc.
Actual Costs include salaries (possible benefits), parts and supplies.
The Universities I have worked for have overheads around 50%.

This is a fantasic money making opportunity. Roam the streets recording cops.

Infect Windows with Linux Viruses?
Make firefox faster?
Simpler BotNet design?
It was likely a learning project, and is kind of cool. But it is more reason to run NoScript and similar.

I for dumber for having read TFA.
It could have been education if they had walked through the math for the kids in the audience.

The lack of options is frustrating, particularly when these issues come up.

I forget, but why does California law matter in this context? Is ICANN in California?

The show may have only aired that one episode.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declaration_of_war_by_the_United_States War of 1812, Mexian-American War, Spanish-American War, World War I, World War II. Others were authorized by Congress, the UN, and of course we had some undeclaired wars.
Didn't we "win" some of those. At least the last 3 in your list.

Charged not convicted. His defence team hasn't started to play yet.
There seems to be a concerted effort to make the government as useless as possible.
