Cleaning out the closet
I have the following items if anybody wants any. I live in Hillsborough and work in Maynard, MA. I go to Manchester frequently enough that I can arrange to transfer ownership there. Last I knew these things worked, but I really have no idea. Computer Stuff TNT (or TNT2 I'm not sure) AGP video card TEAC CD-540E CD-Rom drive LCD2041 Matrix Orbital display Netgear FA310TX NIC (2) DFE-530TX+ NIC Some random NIC, says Kalex 94V-0 on the back 3 port firewire card (siig.com) KVR-PC100/256 Ram PC100 128 meg Ram PCIIDE100R IDE Raid controller MS-6340 (N1996) Motherboard with processor, don't remember what the CPU is Intel Desktop Board CA810e with CPU, don't remember what the CPU is Soundblaster Live (CT4830) Other Stuff SPS-1204UL (wall outlet to 12v lighter adapter) V265 Cell Phone with wall charger LG VX6000 with two car chargers and data cable (works with bitpim) ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
Re: odd web log entry
-- Original message -- From: Ben Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED] Anyone know of a good way to look-up these kinds of things? That is to say, when one sees what is apparently a probe or attach, is there some website of signatures somewhere that one could check against, and/or report possible new ones? One could go hunting at the various security sites, of course, but a better way would be nice. :) I've been using the Open Vulnerability Search @ http://www.linuxuser.at/vuln-search/ . It's basically a portal search that uses several different sites as reference. http://www.secwatch.org is also a pretty good vulnerability search.

Re: Tacoma Narrows bridge (was: MySQL v. PostgreSQL ...)
On 8/2/07, Ben Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've heard it claimed that, before the first Tacoma Narrows bridge failed, aerodynamics had never been considered significant in bridge design. If you look at the bridges of the time, I can believe that. Most of them were simple truss/arch designs: Solid, squat, heavy structures. Suspension bridges were a new technology at the time. It may well be that they should have seen it coming, but who can say? I'm not in a position, with my 20/20 hindsight, to judge. Inventions and Technology magazine once had an an analysis of the TN bridge. Indeed, aerodynamics were not part of the equation in bridges. It wasn't for buildings either. Anyone remember when windows fell from the Hancock building in Boston? What may be more apropos to your point is the fact that, once the oscillation was observed, the bridge was apparently kept in active, public service. The collapse did not occur right away, but there were still cars on it when the bridge fell. If you build a bridge, and you do not expect it to move, and then see that it *does* move, that should be a red flag, I would think. I haven't seen much about what decisions were made between the first sign of trouble and the collapse. Did engineers dismiss the problems out of hand? Did management override engineering concerns? I would be interested in seeing reliable sources on this aspect of the TN incident. I don't remember that part of the article. The management overide is all too common. When designing things, equations have a 'factor of safety' variable. If it's below 1, it will fail. Commonly it's 2 or higher. I imagine many NASA designs are very close to 1 because weight is such an issue. I remember in White River Jct, VT a bridge collapsed with a car on it (90's?). It was a 20 year temporary bridge that was 30 years old. Based on that I think it was over engineered. It should have failed 10 years sooner :-) ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/

Indeed you would. Red flag goes up, engineer applies brakes, but train keeps moving. Given some recent events at a client, I'm coming to the conclusion that politics has a lot of weight, but not much mass. What I'm saying is in these bridge/shuttle/war situations, the inclination is to stop things immediately, but the person making the decision doesn't stop due to all the problems stopping would cause. And besides, we really don't know what will happen; maybe it will work out. Sorta like depending on miracles. Maybe there really is a god, she's just overworked. :-) ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/

Actually, it was part of the settlement with Microsoft. Clippy was killed off, and Apple agreed to hire millions of his relatives.
