For some people, this is only way for them to get touch in any way.

Gee if my dad's 1969 Pontiac Catalina worked as well & without the pollution like these nuclear power plants of the same era, it would still be here.
I think they designed this facility to hold up in a major earthquake but they didn't think about the tsunami and at that time they didn't think about the tsunami that happened afterward. Remember that the facility was shutdown properly after the earthquake and was on generator power to pump water to cool down the reactor until the tsunami washed away the generators into the sea so it was only on 8 hour battery power and now we are at this stage. This is one of lessons that we all should learn about keeping systems pass their life and understanding to design systems for multiple contingencies including any worst case scenarios. However like so many for profit companies, safety is not a priority as BP oil spill has shown us. We need to have proper incentives for companies to build safe and punish them (not the company but the management personnel) if they ignore safety. We should have any system of this type to have continually updated with the most current safety standard and best operating procedures.
As for these nuclear power facilities, it should be moved inland to prevent swamping by the sea or other possible natural disasters.

It would be difficult to get VOR/DME or even ADF over the ocean. LORAN was turned off on August 2010 so limited but the last global terrestrial radio navigation system shutdown . eLORAN is active in UK but that is limited to that area now. We need another method of global terrestrial radio navigation system to augment GNSS if there was some problem with satellites due to solar activity or other issues.

Have a happy retirement "Father Time". I wish Arthur David Olson well and a good time off.
Thank you Arthur David Olson for keeping all of the timezones in the world for this many years which is thankless and somewhat of a painful job which has to navigate through all of those governments in the world.
Again thank you Arthur David Olson/

I saw a movie and other things on a airline flight with any external power for about 5 hours on my laptop.
However, being connected to internet at home the router is connected to a UPS that will last about 3 hours, At work we have generator power also so as long there is fuel for the generator, we can last a long time,

What I have seen on my firewall and I think there are plenty of IP addresses that botmasters, spammers and other criminals have used to hit my network. If ISP, and network administrators looked at all of the DHCP, unallocated IP address that comes from their networks they would have thousands of IP address they re-allocate to proper people or systems. Proper accounting of IP address by ISP needs to be priority before we can really say we ran out IP addresses.

or they must being paid by astrology union. Actually Bombay should be spelled Mumbai.
Scary that that the high court of Mumbai thinks astrology is a science because it shows that the high court's members lack of understanding facts and reality. I would not trust any decision made by this court since do not take facts and reality as evidence.
However, I could see all of the fraudsters, embezzlers, and other criminals will come to Mumbai to incorporate and use its weak legal justice system to do their crimes. Now I wouldn't do business with any company that would have my financial information since they have such a weak legal system. I hope that a higher court would overturn this nonsense decision.

Any currency in Asia seems to good.

Since MS Windows has the largest share of the operating systems in the world, hacker just need to one set of code that will work on 90% of the machines of the world would least amount of work for largest "spread" of systems in the world. Also hackers has taken advantage so many of these MS Windows systems are un-patch and don't have any type anti-malware program so they just exploit bugs in MS Windows. Finally, hacker has created so much Trojan horse or hacked legitimate programs for the MS Windows environment and so many people look for "free" programs on the internet so hacks just put these "free" Trojan horse programs and the hacker take over the MS Wiindows system.
However, now most hacker have concentrating on cross site scripts issues in web and other network based attacks. Also other operating systems like the Mac or Linux give a new challenge to these hackers for them to exploit.

Let me get off the floor and stop laughing so hard.
I wished that I had more than one person here so I can take a good vacation without worries about systems at the office. Also for the other person so they can take real vacation also.
In this "dismal" economy, I wish that are companies that are willing to hire more than one competent & trustworthy person per shift (if they shifts) so that people can (if they want) have a personal life.
Let me see reality first of companies willing to hire & keep competent & trustworthy people so they can distribute work properly so that no one is a "dictator" of the system.

I still have a rotary dial landline phone you insensitive clod.

Brownie sundae with extra chocolate.

so that the only Kodachrome will be Paul Simon singing this.

and this sound like politicians and financial people.

If you have a machine that powers down due to a power outage and the clock battery is dead and the machine powers up and the clock set to March 1, 1969 or what ever time it defaults to and files it creates thereafter will have the time stamp March 1, 1969 and days after until someone notices and changes the clock back to real time and I have bunch of files created this way.
