    so you've been down this road many times, I'm curious and don't like making wasted journey's - what are the key failure points you've encountered then? What are the things we should do that shortcut some of the work? Do you have zee data and is there any reason(s) why it would not be usable...

    thinking aloud, but perhaps we might be better off with something like Trac so you get the project requirements going under the wiki, tickets form the requests and you can allocate them into milestones / version so you can track and plan your burnrate. Integrates nicely with various CVS's...

    Is NARCAP Down for the Count?

    The registrant email published via WHOIS is for a Ted Roe - lungfish001@yahoo.com You could try that (he's also down as the admin email contact). bb

    Dark Matters Shows Available

    agreed, but it's the base domain of the link supplied in the post higher up by someone to the podcasts. I fancied a listen to some lunar stuff :) If you go to: CyberStationUSA - WorldVuer and then click on the 'Programs's link, then it tries to go to that domain. For me I then get my ISP's...

    Dark Matters Shows Available

    hmm, dqrm.com seems to be down and I can see from the WHOIS database that the record was last updated on 13-04-2012. Did someone screw something up or is it just me? bb

    Is NARCAP Down for the Count?

    The narcap domain is registered until well into Sept 2013, so that hasn't expired. But using dig or lookup just returns jack all. Absolutely nothing coming back atm. Wayback machine last took a look at the front page last July 2011. Even the google cache is bare which suggests that it's been...

    Mike finally got his wish.

    decisions based on logic can still be flawed - the data that informs the logic can be incorrect or needs more data in order to make a more logical decision i.e. perfect logic could never be attained and therefore you would still end up with an imperfect world. Empathy, altruism and curiosity...

    Dementia cases worldwide will triple by 2050, says WHO

    As the article mentions though, it does also stand to reason that as the populations of the world are aging, it also makes sense that cases of dementia will rise proportionally. Your claim can only really be substantiated if WHO can convince the nations that autopsies should be conducted in all...

    Mad Rush for Lunar Real Estate Ahead

    Yeah, RAID might do it, although I'd be concerned about the lag from vessel to the time the data is actually written to disk - the same as I'd be concerned about light speed transmission mentioned earlier, and again, even though you have several disks to stripe the data across, you don't get...

    Mad Rush for Lunar Real Estate Ahead

    The only really viable way is to be able to transmute to pure energy. It can't be destroyed. Communicating with an avatar at light speed gradually breaks down over distance. Once you get past 299,792,458m you have a delay of over a second which could prove fatal for the avatar in a tricky...

    I created an excel file (created via openoffice so it may be basic in appearance). I've started populating it with values for the different taxonomies (types) that might be used. Where can I upload it to? This forum board doesn't accept .xls files - it's geared only for image extensions...

    Thursday Morning's Outage...

    there was an outage at 11:42pm to around 12midnight UK time. Your cached homepage was getting served. The forums were not. I've attached two screenshots in case you need them. bb

    you'd need a much better defined business case, and most likely have cut some code for a prototype before you'd get any serious investment. Besides, who says you can't do things on a shoestring :) The main thing we need at the moment is people's time(skills), thinking and critical...

    Mad Rush for Lunar Real Estate Ahead

    Mike, I agree that would be nice. However, I think until a significant number of people have spent time off this world, then then mindset you allude to is not going to be forthcoming. It'll be the narrow-minded political thinking we currently have. There might be a few collaborations due to...

    Mad Rush for Lunar Real Estate Ahead

    Couple of problems here. 1. You can do all you like in Congress, but it won't count for jack in the other sovereign nations of the world, just as the US patents office is ignored frequently by the Chinese, Indians et al; 2. Private corporations can try and claim real estate, but it'll be the...

    I've attached an initial UML diagram to get you started from the initial post you made in this thread. As you'll see I've left a lot of it generic so it can be expanded as needs be. Some explanations to fill in the (massive) gaps. Incident allows you to record not only UFO related, but other...

    Chris Needs Some Help with His Site!

    Hey Gene, Me neither, I was just coming at it from a zero based review of both IMHO :) I'm a pro php dev so of course I appreciate the point about it not being uncommon - however, to that end, it fundamentally comes down to the developer(s) that wrote the code and how skilled they are - you can...

    @gene. I'd recommend Drupal over Wordpress. The first you do after installing WP is to go check the security updates... and after revision... go check the security updates :) Drupal is easy to get going and gives him the option of extending it with modules if he really wants to in the future...
