Comment Propiatary Binary Code (Score 1) 705

When a system runs all gpl'd open source software that is tested by tens of thousand of users and distro maintainers then why would you need to reboot. It only comes into question when your system becomes littered with binary kernel modules and binary programs like flash and god knows what other binary code gets put on without rigorous peer review. Thats when you run into trouble and your system becomes unstable. Not to mention getting your repositories messed up. As more and more of the Microsofties embed them selves in Linux/Unix it will only get worse.

Comment Shielding (Score 1) 85

Couldn't you design the assemblies so the boards could be conformal coated with a dialectic layer and them potted with a RF absorbing layer and then a grounded layer as not be able to pick up the emissions in the first place.

Comment Magnetic Shielding (Score 2) 360

I did a little research into this for a Mega Joule Plasma discharge reaction vessel shielding in case of various particles or fields were generated. Didn't want to go sterile or alter my brain. Here is a few links. I had a PDF from 1960 that was like 600 pages detailing various ideas for the future of space travel and the huge amounts of Tesla required. Like if the magnetic field were to be able to collapse then the space ship would melt and implode. Can't seem to find the link right now.

Comment Short range FM (Score 0) 840

Hell make a small FM transmitter and tune for a unused freq on the radio and distribute them as repeaters or other mass dissemination use. Like clandestine radios for the French resistance. These days the design could be the size of a cell phone and transmit a fair distance.

Comment All forms of malfeasance, malpractice, corruption. (Score 0) 312

It should be done so no form of tomfoolery or skulduggery against the citizens of this planet by any government or corporation or pharmaceutical company or doctor or basically a organized group can hide their culpable actions. If it becomes a tool to single out a particular group it does not serve it's purpose.

Comment Altering handedness and side of brain dominance. (Score 0) 306

I always wondered if a lot of this is caused by sensory input to the visual cortex, and other senses, and game pads that try and force handedness and making the brain work in a way the person is not accustomed too due to side of brain dominance. It seems that maybe a game needs a way of setting it's self up according to a quick test at the beginning to calibrate the input system to the users way of operating instead of how the developers want it to work. There are things like asynchronous brain interfaces via the auditory inputs and asynchronous evolution theories which point to the game interface needs to adjust it's self to each person individually not the other way around. The world in 180 from the way it should work.

Comment Go source non binary (Score 0) 467

Try a Linux from scratch or source distro against a binary distro to show how the system is integrated and the fact that a source distro can have gcc and glibc replaced and recompiled vs a binary distro which is a nightmare to wedge in or damn near impossible. You can show tool chains and from command line to gui use and compiler intricacies of various code bases and libraries. People should go from learning source code distros first then move on to binary ditros so they have a better understanding of package management and how their system can go haywire fast jacking with mixed up repositories.

Submission + - Veterans Disabilities Rights VS Employers Rights

unlocked writes: A veteran has a service connected disability that has no real treatment which causes aggresive tendencies which tends to isolate people from them and it becomes worse after civilian medical care which leds to the termination of the veteran. Would you be for the veteran or the employer. Would you try and work with the veteran or would you want them out so you didn't have to deal with the problem. A bain of your existence problem. Or maybe you might think that the veteran would try and use his disability for his advantage. Or could all or some the employees turn against the veteran to be rid of the problem. It is questions like these that veterans returning from the global war on terror will be facing if they cannot cope after they return or even 20 years after they get out. This should be the debate all employees and employers should be having now before our streets are littered with with homeless disabled veterans.
