Comments (0) Fine unlicensed software users, says BSA | The Register
Yea that’s right, we need MORE restrictions and laws. Actually what needs to happen is to get rid of the BSA asshats. Second best thing is to move to linux or unix and tell them to go piss up a rope should they decide to check you.

This may be just what I have been needing to get networking at the other trailer about 600 feet away from here. Now to see where it can be found and what OS’s it will work with.

Must be Technorati screwed up somewhere. I’m posting this crap to give it something to get a bite on if it ever does catch on …
Just tried to send a note to support and had their system kick me to search. So tried again and it seems to have gotten through. Still not indexing this site.
Went to the WordPress site and did a search on this problem and they don’t show any posts since April but the ones there say that this is most likely a problem with Technorati so guess I will wait and see if they answer the email and then go from there.
Now got wordpress 2.0.4 and as of just now Technorati is still not showing my new posts. I must not be holding my mouth right or something.
Looks good from this end. Hoping that it all stays together. Still using my original modified layout. Plan to modify the new layout a bit and switch over to that but twill come as it can.
If you have problems with the site let me know in the comments here.
Thanks,
Dave
Stuff may break so if it looks funny(er) than usual tis probably just I.
Back soon (I hope).

Technorati Blog Info: TechnoPrimitive
As of now Technorati is still showing my last post to be 45 days ago. I have made more than 45 posts in the last week, so I get the feeling that they are just majorily screwed up. But maybe it’s just my site. Who knows…
CNN.com – High court to get ‘Bong Hits 4 Jesus’ case? – Aug 29, 2006
So, from this totally disjointed 😉 article, is Starr working for the kid or the school or who? Some writer or editor needs to go back to school and learn how to put a story together.
Personally I think if the kid is off school grounds and it is not during school hours he should be able to do what he wants. Seems that the principal was totally out of line. Wasn’t there and all I have seen of this is this crappy article, so…
This is neat. Looks like software for medical enviroments is going GPL too. About time!
From the site:
Description:
neurALC is an open-source cross-platform software for the analysis of multi-electrode recordings. In the current version it supports experimental data files in the Neural Event Format (NEV 1.x, 2.0, 2.1), and offers functionality to reveal and analyze some of the information contained in such recordings. It is further intended as a kind of “catalyst” for the development of a free available cross-platform program for the analysis of electrophysiological recordings.

Field & Stream – Photo Gallery – Make a Survival Kit out of an Altoids Tin
Though their layout is rather a pain with over 19 pages for this article alone the info isn’t bad. I’ve covered another survival kit in an Altoids tin before I think but the materials were a bit different. This is well worth a look should you be thinking about (and you should have one or more ready at all times just in case) getting or making a survival kit.

A very good reason to NOT buy HP products. I have in the past but plan to go elsewhere in the future. This kind of corprate behavior has got to be stopped!

UCR News: Sunscreens Can Damage Skin, Researchers Find
Interesting article. This one that is. The one I first say was on (guess where) (right) physorg.com and was butchered as usual. So will no longer link to their crap but search for the original and post it instead.

Food for Thought: How to Wash Up in the Wilderness, Science News Online, Aug. 26, 2006
Many campers who wash their dishes and utensils in the wilderness use methods that don’t consistently remove all bacteria.
According to new research, even professional expedition companies that employ one of several well-established, three-step washing procedures may place their clients at unnecessary risk of getting gastrointestinal illnesses. An alternative system that uses the same amount of water and involves the same number of rinses is more hygienic, says microbiologist Joanna Hargreaves, who conducted the new study.
Three bowls
To clean eating implements adequately, Hargreaves proposes a rigorous approach to washing in which backpackers would first fill each of three large bowls or buckets with about 5 liters (1 1/3 gallons) of clean water. Next, add 5 milliliters (1 teaspoon) of detergent to the first container and 10 ml (2 tsp) of 4-percent chlorine bleach (a common commercial preparation) to the second.
To wash dishes and utensils, remove most food residues in the first bowl and, in the second, scrub the items until they are visibly clean. A quick rinse in the third bowl removes the odor of the cleaning chemicals.

Looks reasonable to me and much better than just wash and rinse. Good advice and a good article. Visit the site to read it all.
