I don't know how long it lasts, but its daily intensity is being plotted here. From what little I've read, it can be expected to increase like this for ~14 days from the initial explosion

I ordered an WNDR-3700 from Amazon a few days ago and it arrived yesterday. I plan on running ceroWRT on it - no more bufferbloat!

They chose the 3700v2 because it is one of the few (only) routers with of the drivers having source available, so I expect it will be supported for a number of years.

As a fellow believer of the 2nd Amendment, I think talk of "overthrow[ing] this government now" is quite premature and irresponsible.

We are still working through the courts to (re)gain our right to carry outside the home. Once that is gained and exercised by citizens in the North East and California, much of this 4th Amendment violation will simply disappear. It will no longer be practical.

Insurrection is silly.

Here's a link to the actual PDF (arxiv version) and not the pay version

I already had VirtualBox 4.1.0 installed, so I installed the Boinc client, attached to http://boinc01.cern.ch/test4theory and created an account without problem - I haven't done any @home projects since some SETI units about 10 years ago.

The Boinc client spent several minutes downloading a linux virtual machine (boinc_vm) for VirtualBox, which booted automagically. Then boinc_vm started "..fetching input files for job..." for a minute, "started a child process", downloaded some more data, and started burning CPU. The Boinc client takes up ~13M and the VM around 45M. Not bad. The work unit will take 1mil GFLOPS of processing, and my machine does 2.28GFLOP/sec, so it will be about 5 days of CPU time. It updates progress in 1% increments, so I am at 1.000% done.

I went to my webpage account and set my pref to 100% CPU, otherwise the VM pauses a lot.

libertarianism != anarchy

Libertarians believe in the rule of law and justice (police & courts). We just want people to freer in their choices.

Not a gamer and the last FPS I played was Doom3 in 2003/4. I will continue buying id games, though, just cuz.

I track my home energy usage for free with Google's PowerMeter (SDG&E)

Well, thanks to a stupid electorate, we put people in power who think the USA should
police the world (DOD),
have government run medical research (NIH),
provide health care,
put a few people in space,
subsidize industries,
give money to UN,
etc, etc

The party is over. As one who has worked in medical research, I say good riddance to ripping off the tax payer.
Of course, the average person is dumb enough to think these things are free.

That Thierry guy is quite a master with a telescope & camera. He's also taken incredible shots of the shuttle traversing in front of the sun.

Just browse his website (assuming /. doesn't kill it).

It still corrupts my desktop background and the Taskbar on my Windows7 laptop.

I have to change the size of the Taskbar to make my computer not look retarded after using FF.

I've had the same thing happen to me - oncoming car took a left hand turn on MY green without yielding to me. I slammed on the brakes and put my head down, so my helmet took the force as I broadsided the van.

The stupid driver claimed *I* had a red light.

I was younger and stupider, then. I should have got his license plate, and name.

You sound a bit defensive. Perhaps it hurts to hear the truth from someone who has worked on the inside?

I have completed all the course work, and am 30 pages into my MS thesis in bioinformatics.

I don't really feel like revealing my locale, and maintain my belief that government funded research is a rip-off to the tax payer.

The university model should be privatized.

haha... I don't understand my own research.

I understand that there are more PhDs than jobs in this biotech hub.

I don't disagree that universities serve as training grounds, but there are many labs with zero students.

btw, I never said "no value." There can be value in government projects, but there is More Value in letting people keep their own money, and allowing industry to do the work.
