American Institute of Architects Announces the Greenest Buildings of 2013
Posted By Taz Loomans On May 6, 2013 @ 5:39 pm In Architecture,News,Sustainable Building | No Comments
Yin Yan House by Brooks + Scarpa [9]
The Yin Yan House is a nearly net-zero energy live/work home and office in Venice, California. A very tight building envelope reduces energy demand by more than 50 percent. And a 12-kW solar system [10] produces 100 percent of the home and office's electricity needs. The design maximizes its location in a mild, marine climate with a passive cooling strategy using cross-ventilation and a thermal chimney. A large cantilevered roof overhang shades all the bedrooms from direct sunlight while providing ample natural light and ventilation.
Swenson Civil Engineering Building [12] by Ross Barney Architects [13]
The new Civil Engineering building at the University of Minnesota Duluth is a two-story structure wrapped around double-height laboratories. It showcases structural and mechanical processes and storm water management techniques as a teaching tool. Storm water management was a key ecological consideration and elements of the storm water management system became prominent features articulating building processes and fostering understanding of sustainable design [14].
San Francisco Public Utilities Commission Headquarters [16] by KMD Architects [17]
The city of San Francisco set high standards [16] for this new administrative building for the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission. The design team also focused on creating the healthiest, most effective and comfortable work environment for occupants. On-site black water treatment meets all of the project's non-potable water needs. The building is designed to achieve LEED Platinum certification and will exceed California's recently instituted Title 24 requirements for energy efficiency in new office buildings by 55 percent, according to SFPUC estimates.
Pearl Brewery/Full Goods Warehouse [5] by Lake Flato Architects [19]
After 15 years of neglect, this creative re-use of a 26-acre brownfield site and its neglected structures [20] in San Antonio, Texas is drawing in a rich mix of new residents, small businesses, retail and non-profits. It emphasizes community, conservation and local economic development. The goal of the redevelopment was to create a sustainable destination that maintained the identity of the historic brewery while radically repurposing key parts of the compound. The LEED-Gold Full Goods Warehouse [21] is one of the jewels of the Pearl Brewery redevelopment.
Merritt Crossing Senior Apartments [23] by Leddy Maytum Stacy Architects [24]
This apartment project in Oakland, California [23] transforms an abandoned site near a busy freeway into a community asset for disadvantaged or formerly homeless seniors while setting a high standard for sustainable and universal design. This project remarkably achieved several certifications simultaneously, including LEED for Home Mid-Rise Pilon Program (Platinum Level), Build it Green GreenPoints (206 points), Energy Star Rated Building (making it the first certified in California) and Bay Friendly Landscaping (104 points).
Marin Country Day School Learning Resource Center and Courtyard [7] by EHDD [26]
The Marin Country Day School [27]'s Strategic Plan calls for makin ecological literacy an integral part of its curriculum and reinforcing students' connection to nature. The project [7], which is located in Corte Madera, California, restores the watershed's seasonal stream, replacing concrete swales with rockwork and riparian landscaping. And it maximizes storm water and water efficiency strategies to demonstrate the water cycle within a complete watershed, creating amenities that are now some of the students' favorite places.
Federal Central South Building [29] 1202 by ZGF Architects [30]
This General Services Administration project [6], funded by the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, transforms a 4.6-acre brownfield site in Seattle into a highly-flexible and sustainable 209,000-square-foot regional headquarters for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the Northwest District. The optimized form, systems and building orientation place the building within the top 1 percent of energy-efficient buildings across the country. It has earned an ENERGY STAR score of 100 and complies with 2030 Challenge Goals.
Clock Shadow Building [32] by Continuum Architects + Planners [33]
The developer of this mixed-use project [32] in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, wanted a radically sustainable building that followed the Living Building Challenge and met the quadruple bottom line of economic improvement, social justice, environmental restoration and cultural celebration. The building conserves energy and water, manages a majority of the storm water onsite, promotes local urban gardens with its community garden on the roof and 30 percent of it is built with salvaged materials.
Charles David Keeling Apartments [35] by KieranTimblerlake [36]
This student housing building [35] for the University of California San Diego campus is named after the scientist whose research first alerted the world to the possibility of the human impact on global atmospheric carbon. The building envelope uses thermal mass to buffer temperature changes, minimizes solar gain and naturally ventilates the interior. And the project employs onsite wastewater recycling, a first for the UC system.
A New Norris House [38] by Tricia Stuth, Robert C. French
The New Norris House [38] was conceived of and created by its design team to mark the 75th anniversary of the original Norris Project, an affordable housing scheme in Norris, Tennessee from the New Deal era. Right-sizing is at the heart of this winning project, reducing material and operational loads and costs and shifting funds to quality design and construction, passive strategies and high-efficiency systems. The New Norris House is compact at 1008 square feet. It is well insulated, with R-29.5 walls, R-24 roof, and R-24 crawlspace and it is air-tight.
355 11th Street: the Matarozzi/Pelsinger Multiuse Building by Aidlin Darling Design [40]
This project is a LEED-NC Gold adaptive re-use of a historic and previously derelict turn-of-the-century industrial building in San Francisco. It is a mixed-use project that houses a LEED-CI Platinum restaurant [41] on the ground floor. The project's sustainable strategies include solar energy harvesting, a green roof and natural ventilation. It's most interesting feature is a new exterior skin, which is perforated to allow light and air to pass through new operable windows beyond. It mitigates solar heat gain while enabling cross-ventilation of the interior.

Zero waste strategies help societies to produce and consume goods while respecting ecological limits and the rights of communities. The strategies ensure that all discarded materials are safely and sustainably returned to nature or to manufacturing in place of raw materials. In a zero waste approach, waste management is not left only to politicians and technical experts; rather, everyone impacted—from residents of wealthy neighborhoods to the public, private, and informal sector workers who handle waste—has a voice

Get your D levels tested, go from there. I just had mine tested 2 weeks ago and with effectively no sunlight exposure I'm just about at a perfect level at 5k IU's a day (most days, I generally don't take them on the weekends, I just kinda use the weekends as a supplement break, no real reason just nice not swallowing a billion pills heh).
-Ryan Mercer my blog and Genco Peptides my small biz
µg = micrograms.
Yes, Vitamin D, 1 IU = 0.025 microgram
-Ryan Mercer my blog and Genco Peptides my small biz
I have been taking D3 drops, are they ok? 1000 iu per drop x 4. They are called Delicious D. Ingredients are Vit D3, and additives are medium chain triglycerides from coconut, I presume coconut oil and natural cinnamon.
Starting Primal June 2012 at 148.5lbs, goal weight in November 2012.
Now 95lbs and holding.
Primal, minus eggs, dairy and a myriad of other allergens.
5000 iu/day but not religiously. Gloomy Gloucestershire but I can't afford to go somewhere sunny!
Man seeks to change the foods available in nature to suit his tastes, thereby putting an end to the very essence of life contained in them.
I know i'm quoting a 2 year old post, but this has been my experience. I supplemented about 15,000iu a day for over a few months, and my levels are still only in the 40s.
I've run out, but when I decide to repurchase again, I may go with the drops. I was doing a liquid capsule with MCT carrier oil.
Some people just need a sympathetic pat... On the head... With a hammer.
I've seen it suggested in a blog post that too much D can impair the immune system (as well as too little). Could there be anything to that, do you think?
(The blogger had one personal anecdote in support; so do I. There was also a theoretical basis, but nothing I was qualified to judge.)
Four years Primal with influences from Jaminet & Shanahan and a focus on being anti-inflammatory. Using Primal to treat CVD and prevent stents from blocking free of drugs.
Eat creatures nose-to-tail (animal, fowl, fish, crustacea, molluscs), a large variety of vegetables (raw, cooked and fermented, including safe starches), dairy (cheese & yoghurt), occasional fruit, cocoa, turmeric & red wine

Nissan Murano CVT Transmission
mikesmurano Posts: 118I haven't had the transfer case problems, but I have had a myriad of CVT issues along with many other electro-mechanical problems.
Please keep us posted. I have added a new discussion about Nissan's customer service and satisfaction. Please post your developments there also. Some of us may want to join in your legal action.
Also, these CVT problems are happening on the Rogue and other Nissan models.
You have our support. I listed the Nissan VP's email for customer service in an earlier post. Search by my name if you need it.
BTW, what is the dealer quoting you to replace the case? This information is helpful. -
mikesmurano Posts: 118
chillincapecod Posts: 7After putting in a claim at corporate... this is where we stand. They are replacing the transmission & transfer case, but tell us that if they damage the catalytic converter brakets which they have to take off to get to the repairs, they will make us pay the $2000 for to replace the converter! Is that insane??? I think they just keep shifting the $2000 around to other items to cover costs. The car has been there 5 days....We had to tell them to go ahead with the work even though they will be charging us. I am still going to fight it because it is just crazy! I used the JD Power Service Index Ranking which is shameful and the automotive news article of March 1, 2010 that talks about coroporate offering $$ to dealers to boost repeat business and please the customer at all costs....guess they were absent that day because no one cares!!!!! They are actually RUDE!
massoud Posts: 2Today I got a phone call from nissan's consumer affairs that they have conveniently rejected my written request to offer assistance in overcoming the high cost of the transfer case replacement. My transfer case went down in middle of Feb. having had just 200 miles over the 60K miles warranty coverage. Ouch, it cost me 3K to get it replaced by the dealership.
Needless to say, I would be very much interested to join a class action or any type of legal action if you need support. I am thinking of even sending a letter to consumer affairs department or any other watch dog authority hoping to support in resonating our complaints about this particular component and the frequency of its occurences. Nissan simply does not want to admit the faulty design and components and fears nothing by denying their customers. They feel invincible!!! Perhaps a collective suit will be an awakening that there should never be a unilateral attitude!!
Please stay in touch. -
mikesmurano Posts: 118"Chillin",
Please find attached, although maybe too late.
The CAT between the firewall and the engine is the expensive one. However, when mine went out, I went hunting for an alternative because the dealer was giving me a pile about how hard it is to replace, etc.
They really screw you when they have you over a barrel.
I bought an Eastern CAT for my 2003 Murano for $275. I also had to buy a manifold for $200 from the dealer. I took the parts to a Midas shop. They installed them for about $250 labor. The dealer quoted me $1500; I paid ~$725 (half of dealer quote).
I think the dealer is smoking you. A good mechanic can get this work done with out breaking parts. The chances of breaking the brackets on the CAT sounds bogus. He might be eluding to stripping threads or breaking bolts. In that case, a good mechanic can fix those issues easliy. They have the tools to remove broken bolts or install new thread inserts, etc. I know because I am a mech. engineer.
If the dealer screws up the CAT make sure you tell him you want to see the physical parts before authorizing any work.
Reply if you need help. The Nissan dealers in the NE Atlanta area start sweating when I show up. I will beat "$&*@" down! -
unhappy34 Posts: 8Nissan is missing the big picture here. We are all unhappy owners of defective Muranos or we wouldn't be here. Just this week I had two or three people ask about my Murano and you know what I told them. I am sure that you all do the same. It's time for me to get rid of it. It is just a money pit and source of frustration. I will never buy another Nissan because of the quality of the product and poorly trained Nissan mechanic's. It all starts at the top and it's "the Nissan way".
massoud Posts: 2I hear you guys. We all will have to let go of our muranos sooner or later - the sooner the less costlier! But we should let nissan north america know how we feel. Here's a suggestion: After I received the rejection letter from their constomer service, it made me so upset because of their lack of professionalism and absence of any cosideration to our request, that I went on line and submitted my complaints to a few consumer protection offices just to have their organization on public record.
You can find your state's consumer affair (I did mine in NJ), but I suggest this site national site for a better chancce to have all complains in one place collectively. It is: consumeraffairs.com
When filing your complaints, try to include all details and the relationship the trasnfer case has with the CVT and therefore should have been convered under extended warranty recently offered by nissan.
If you all agree with this, please spread the word around on as many discussion boards as possible. This needs to get good attention and be stopped!!
Best of luck. -
mikesmurano Posts: 118Unhappy,
Believe me I share your pain. I have already sold my Murano and replaced it with an Acura TL & I also bought a Toyota 4Runner to boot.
I love the TL and this is my second 4Runner. My wife & I have never had problems with any of our American, Honda or Toyota products. We have returned to familiar territory.
No more Nissan's for me either. They have earned from me eternal criticism and disdain. I am with Massoud; I am complaining onward until I get someone to listen.
I spent $25K for the car and another $11K in repairs. I take meticulous care of my cars. I hung on for 5+ years thinking that I had all of the bugs repaired out.
Wrong! When you can...Sell! Sell! Sell! -
eddie7721 Posts: 1Hi Jacob,
I'm in the same boat you are in but with a 2003 Nissan Murano the first of its kind. At first I taught it was just me, but it looks like is not. My transmissions gave up after my warranty and I had to pay out of pocket, almost $5,000. Now Nissan has a reimbursement plan for those who don't know about it ,let me know I'll port the info., however they are not calling it a recall. Needless to say that the transfer case also gave up in the middle of the road shortly after (a few miles later) that I had to tow my car to the nearest gas station, and I had to pay again another $3,000. I'm talking to Nissan now, but they told me that the transfer case is not part of the transmission. But I've been told that it is. And thats how I found your blog. I'm waiting for another call from them this Monday April 05, 2010. But I definitely want them to acknowledge that my entire family's life has been in danger because of this faulty parts. If you need my testimonies I'll be glad to help you, and I have all the documents to prove it.
Eddie -
jayhawk70 Posts: 56Mikey, who is telling you there is no warranty? A Nissan dealer? or some mechanic trying to sell you unnecessary services? There certainly is a warranty, and in fact Nissan a few months ago extended the warranty for all Murano CVT transmissions to 10 years or 120,000 miles in the United States. (in other countries too, I'm told, but I don't know the details outside the US)
See http://www.nissanassist.com/ProgramDetails.php?menu=2 -
mmukhan Posts: 2I have the check engine light pop up and the car started draging at the stop lights 2 weeks ago, took it to the dealer the dealer found the code for Transmission pressure sensor and told me it is covered under warranty upto 120 k miles. So I told them to fix it after 1 week I get a call from the dealer (Clearlake Houston TX Nissan) they can't get the tranny out because all the brackets for cat convertes are rusted and they have to cut through them to get the tranny out and that will cost me 5K to fix it and Nissan won't pay for it since it is not a part of the tranny. I opened a claim case with Nissan and told them that they won't have to cut through all that, if they have not designed that faulty tranny, but they won't budge. I still owe 10K on this car and can't afford to spend another 5K in this economy. I have been fighting hard with Nissan, so far they have not budge.
Any help in regards to whom to contact e-mail address info will be helpful. Any kind of info that can ease my Murano nightmare will be helpful.
Regards -
jayhawk70 Posts: 56So basically your dealer want $5,000 to cut through some rusty brackets? I think you need a new dealer. Or find a welding shop who would probably do that for less than $100. (Heck, a local Midas shop used a welding torch to burn off some plastic trash bags that stuck to the converters on my minivan at no charge! )
Or are your catalytic converters bad and not your CVT? Are you still within the long warranty on emission equipment? (8 years and 80,000 miles on catalytic converters, according to Nissan's 2006 Warranty Information Booklet.)
--jayhawk -
mmukhan Posts: 2Thanks for the reply. My car has 93000 miles on it. The dealer won't touch my car unless I sign the papers. I have no problems with the CAT converters or the exhaust system so far.
The Local AAmco Trans shop quoted me $1200 for the labor to replace the tranny but Nissan won't ship the tranny to them, they say they can only ship it to a Nissan dealer. -
jayhawk70 Posts: 56Wow, it appears your dealer is trying to extort excessive charges for the bracket problem. Are there any other Nissan or even Infiniti dealers you can go to?
I can see why Nissan would say the bracket problem is not part of the warranty, but it sounds like they are OK with covering the normal parts and labor for the CVT problem. It appears your dealer's service department thinks you are forced to use them and sees this as an opportunity to generate revenue.
Dealers are independent businesses, free to charge whatever they want for vehicles or services. (by law, even - that is why manufacturers cannot force dealers to sell their vehicles at a fixed price) But that also means you can shop around to other dealers for their service business. If there are no other Nissan or Infiniti dealers close by, I would complain to Nissan about your dealer's attempt to charge excessive prices for the bracket problem because of the CVT warranty repair.
(I despise almost all auto dealer's service departments, who do everything, including lying about what the manufacturer requires, to charge for unnecessary services, like their "premium" packages for the 15,000/30,000 mile intervals.)
Could you have the AAMCO or another shop fix just the bracket problem, then go back to the dealer for the CVT problem?
Maybe your local paper or TV stations have a consumer advocate that might be interested in your story. The threat of bad publicity often does wonders with these kind of problems.
Good luck! --jayhawk -
mikev4 Posts: 11Everybody is on Toyota's case. Yes they made few mistakes here and there, but they are trying to fix it.
What you think about Nissan? Everything is "OK". They did not announce that Nissan Murano 2003-2010 has a problem. They decided to do it slick way. Send each owner of Murano a letter stating if you had a problem with CVT transmission go on line print a form(the name of the form is (Nissan CVT Customer Satisfaction Program Reimbursement Request Form) send it to us and prove of repair we will reimburse you for amount you spent. Slick is in it? And then the game begins. You send them form all documents needed but they ask for more documents and if you send everything what was asked, they will find the reason not to pay for repairs.
In my case I almost got into the accident, my car stop in the middle of the road because all transmission fluid leaked out, thanks to the CVT part. How come Toyota is all over the news and Nissan is not?. -
whitestar16 Posts: 53There are some 2009 owners that have some CVT problems reported - pretty serious actually-but most of them had earlier production run vehicles ( the 2009 muranos ha d start build date in october/nov 2007 actually. I havent seen any 2010 CVT problems yet. Would think thice about an AWD though. Transfer case issues are somewhat common. ( leaks at the junction of the transfer case and the transmission)
dsfinger Posts: 11I don't get it either! Nissan has been very good about keeping this out of the news. They have got to be so relieved to see the heat going in the direction of Toyota right now. I filled out the form for Consumer Reports telling them about all of the problems I had with my '05 Nissan. But when the new Buying Guide came out they still list it as a great used car to buy with a great transmission. It just doesn't make sense . . . at all! I sold my car a few months ago and lost SO MUCH MONEY on it. I drove it to a local Nissan dealership to talk to them about all of the problems. They were shocked to know I had problems with my transmission - "never heard about any such thing before". Told me to bring my car to CARMAX, sell it and they'd give me a great deal on a new one. THEY DIDN'T EVEN WANT IT!
whitestar16 Posts: 53Actually the problem rate on the 2007 model year - the last year of the 1st generation model murano - was very low. There were a large number of technical service bulletins and a few recalls , particularly on the 2003 and 2004 model years, that caused good changes over time -- so the 2007 year was actually a good one as far as repairs and problems. 2009 was a first year new model, but I think a lot of those bugs have been worked out since the 2009s went into production, which was actually in late 2007 of all things. So 2010 is a good model year for Nissan on the Murano so far, and their third generation murano, due out in 2012, probably will be a major winner.
smarty666 Posts: 1,503I everyone, listen some poster by the name of madpistol posted this on the Altima CVT forum and I thought it made a lot of sense in explaining why a lot of 1st Gen Murano owners are having so much trouble with transmission issues and failures. I'm not saying Nissan should be off the hook, they most certainly shouldn't. but I found it insightful about where the CVT started and where it is going and explaining why some people are experiencing lags or jerkiness at times. I personally, in my 2010 Max have not experience this yet, but I only have 7k miles so I have no idea if it will ever happen or if it will, not yet anyway.
"However, I do get some jerkiness at speeds under 40mph. My guess is it's just because the CVT has a limited number of set ratios at lower RPMs. I know it's the CVT "shift-logic" because if you move it over to manual mode and shift it that way, the engine is very smooth and pretty refined feeling. There's absolutely no jerking in manual mode other than what you feel when you shift between ratios.
(Now enter theory stuff)
I believe that with the next generation of Altima we'll see both engines get significantly redesigned. Now that Nissan has established that CVT-based vehicles are what they wish to pursue, I think they're going to start designing their engines around this. As of right now, they're currently designing the CVT to be compatible with their chosen engines. However, if you design the ENGINE to also be compatible with the CVT, the refinement will reach a whole new level.
The current engines are very content with a manual gearbox, but a little sluggish with the CVT. That's because the engines aren't designed to take advantage of a CVT's gearless system. In other words, the engines have very specific power bands, and thus, it only feels energetic when the engine is in that power band. I believe we're going to see more torque and horsepower from lower RPMs and the peak will be far lower in the rev-band as well. That way, cars will feel much more energetic from a stop AND there won't be a "flat line" on power between 2000-3000RPMs (in the 4-cyl). This should also eliminate jerkiness from the lower revs, as the CVT won't have to shift as much to keep the power up.
1st generation CVT: high rev acceleration, rubber-band feeling
2nd (current) generation CVT: smoother acceleration, higher horsepower engines
3rd (future) generation CVT: engines designed for CVT, MUCH quicker acceleration, more linear power delivery.
This is only speculation, but if you're a fan of CVT based Nissan cars, I think it's about to get a lot better in the 3rd generation. The first 2 generations were test beds to see if it would work. Now that Nissan knows it works (and is selling well) they should invest a lot more in their powerplants this time around. Only time will tell though. " -
mikesmurano Posts: 118
smarty666 Posts: 1,503CR, JD Power, and even MT are no good anymore for reviews and unbias ratings/comparison assessments. When MT can rate the Camry #1 above the new Sonata, Fusion, and Altima for overall fun, driving dynamics, and overall package, etc, after all the recent recalls and safety problems with those cars, they must be either bias for Toyota or smoking some serious dope. I'm seriously thinking of canceling my subscription at the end of this next cycle.
As the years are going on, its getting harder and harder to find magazines or professional car forum that doesn't have bias in its assessments.
Right now, edmunds, autoblog, C&D, Road and Track, and Popular Mechanics are probably your only bets left for fair and balanced/unbias comparisons and reviews. -
m0mzilla Posts: 10I'm finally turning off my tracking for this issue. Nissan did reimburse me for the cost of my transmission at 68k miles in my '05 Murano (which went out 2 yrs ago). My dealer acknowleged the problem back then and I only paid half of the $5,800 cost. So, I was fully reimbursed and I used the money to put down on a 2010 GMC Acadia. Decided to buy American this time. Wish me luck!

epacheco Posts: 1I have a 2000 Nisson Serena with a CVT. It gets stuck in low when in slow or stop and go traffic. It will not dissengage unless i stop and turn off the van for 20 minutes. It also slips into as high ratio after going up inclines, almost like an anti-slip mode. Whats wrong and can it be easily fixed?

Victoria Beckham Dining Out With Her Kids | Pictures
Victoria Beckham Dines Out With Harper and Cruz in London
Victoria Beckham took two of her kids to dinner at one of Gordon Ramsay's restaurant in London yesterday. Victoria checked herself in the car mirror before she, Cruz, and Harper headed inside to eat. The family dinner was a mellow comparison to Victoria's previous night out, when she reunited with the rest of the Spice Girls at the Viva Forever premiere.
The mother-of-four reportedly skipped out on joining her fellow Spice Girls Ginger, Baby, Sporty, and Scary on the dance floor and opted to hang out with her husband, David, and kids instead. Harper missed out on the Viva Forever celebration, but last night looked adorable in a furry coat, sparkly shoes, and a hair bow. The Beckhams are winding down another exciting year, and we'll soon see what 2013 has in store.

They were pretty clever stories for the 1950s, and fulfilled the fundamental law of SF in being abut the F, not the S. They made you think, and made you think about real life too. And, come on, is the bee gun not cool?
But the TV series was dire, because it concentrated on the S, all sets and special effects (both beyond the ability of the budget)
I don't think that melancholy air could easily be captured in a film, and as for Holywood doing it - well, no chance.
People prepared to pay apple prices are buying apple.
Android has to take market share fromm $299 netbooks. Its no good leaving off the keyboard, Ethernet & usb & then wanting $800
>The reality is that the Bush Administration actually believed that Saddam had WMDs.
A fair number of then believe that the world was made in 4004BC by a sky fairy.
Troll, cos we don't have any other supernatural beings.
>He's more deluded than I thought.
And he's a self-obsessed, self-important tosser who gets off on publicity.
Thing is, I think wikileaks is a good idea. But He's spoiling it for me.
Would this have anything to do with the market maturing? That the PC I built 3 years ago or bought 2 years ago is still more powerful than I would ever need?
Or is it, perhaps, because I can't buy a new one without buying a new copy of Windows, which I already own?
Oh no, it's because I haven't got any money. Certainly not to splash out on something I don't need.
>what happened to Nokia's famous engineering talent?
They were either sacked or ran away when Elop picked WP7
I see that I don't need to make my customary disparaging remarks about futurologists, spurious precision, and wishful thinking. It's all been said.
But I'm going to post anyway in case somebody predicted I would. Wouldn't like them to get it wrong!
>the original investors get burnt and 10 years later someone gets a bargain.
Bit like the channel tunnel then. Sold off to the banks for a penny in the pound.
It's interesting that they can afford to set on fire a perfectly good modern outboard. What happened to the tradition of using hulks for target practice?
I, for one, welcome, our UCL tefal-heads. If they can connect me up to my server by the power of thought alone, I will be happy.
"Companion Computing" == Please don't stop buying desktops, just 'cos we sold you this. Please. PLEASE!
And, frankly, I think their introduction would help cases like this but otherwise be a Bad Thing (TM)
In theory the law is supposed to stand in for all the victims and prosecute the offender. In this case, hands have probably been shaken with infolded fingers.
>Probably the CPS are unwilling to proceed because they'll lose.
>That loss could then render RIPA unworkable
Someone very senior has decided that. I suspect this is what is meant by "not in the public interest".
personally I'd like to see RIPA torn up and go back to whatever we had in the 1960s.
For years people have paid for an 'opinion' from a QC, and filed the resultant letters. They are taken very seriously by the courts as evidence of best efforts.
Doesn;t mean I approve of phorm, who all need to f*k off and die of something horrid [1], but lawer's opinions are routinely sought before going to court.
[1] Twice. At least.
Even our backstreet computer store has a 7" android 1.x for 99 quid, and a 10" 2.2 for 200.
Both are a bit slow, but both have gps and usb ports.
But my Dell mini-10 has 3G, a 64Gb ssd, 3 usb plug'oles, wired and wifi ethernet, bluetooth, and a Sd slot, camera, microphone, two speakers, and 8 hours worth of batteries. Oh, and a gb of ram, and an atom cpu
And it has a hinge and a keyboard .
and cost me 199 quid. OK it doesn't have a touch screen, but it came with a fabric stuffsack. for 199 quid.
I am much more concerned about Google closing Android than I am about whether someone thinks they own the copyright on a few hundred lines of ascii text.
...my cell co does actively pursue and sue text spammers....
Really? Wow! I am seriously impressed
I built a controller for a rising-quadrant receipt printer out of a scamp. I think it was a 8050 SC/MP-1. No stack pointer, no subroutine calls-and-return. Good enough though.
Even a decade ago no-one would have dared to imagine this. Now the importance of the component industry is lost in the glare from Intel, Apple, et.al, and the politicians are less likely to cut up rough.
To their eternal shame.
This deal is as significant as M$/Nokia as signalling the decline of the west. Lights out, lads.
It's not a pharmaceutical, or a method of 3-d printing titanium.
It's a five quid golfing gimmick gadget, for people who are already too lazy to carry a set of clubs.
is it really worth the bother?
I read the title as 'Broad US antithrust probe' and my eyes started to water.
Put that white coat away!
I've always wanted to name something after Yuri. I guess a soyuz is as good a tribute as any.
Had Sergej Korolëv lived I can't believe that Russia would not have got to the Moon, and Mars. I am so glad they are still providing launchers and keeping the dream alive.
I am increasingly alarmed by the idea that the success or failure of vast financial services depends on a few nanoseconds on clock edges. And now the cost of n* 126 watts over n*95 watts can tip that balance back the other way?
Does no-one else think something is out of control here? This is some sort of something-out-of-nothing flim-flam? It seems to me like the Laplace Transform of a ponzi scheme, escalating infinitesimals rather than volumes.
Oh, and it also seems like cheating. No-one made anything new, grew anything, or improved the lot of the masses. They just stuck a waterwheel in the flow of real commerce and are leeching off what other people do. Parasites.
No-one has explained how Unity integrates with GDM. On nearly every linux system I've used you can install alternative desktops and switch between them at the login screen. No-one in any review has told me whether Unity works like that, or whether Gnome, KDE, etc. become mysteriously unavailable.
And how do these idiots propse proving its their copyright? maybe the TV stations have won some IP
This is why I read the reviews. Never likely to buy stuff, but I love the throw-away irreverence.
"Microsoft Buys Open Source ReactOS For $12.3 Billion"
Chap on usenet posted this:
( suggestion that Apple had installed a speak-your-weight machine app on every ipod and iphone overnight, and to try it out put yours on the floor and stand on it)
Didn't one of Pterry's villains say "I 'ad a muvver once. I fink I et her"?
Quite well.
You agree to meet someone at 9:00 on Monday.
It's monday, you get up at 06:00, wash, get the bus and meet him at 9:00.
The government announces that on Saturday the clocks will change. On Saturday you change your clocks. On Monday you get up at 06:00, wash, get the bus and meet him at 9:00.
See, no drama.
The morons will no doubt do it again. They were talking about repeating the bst in winter gag a few months ago.
Why don't people just get up when they want? if changing the clocks makes all get up an hour earlier that makes us sheep, not citizens.
I'm tempted to join the "It's a comedy show" comments, but in this case I actualy thought it was a nasty hatchett job and a bit put up. They've fixed petrol cars after breaking them, and re-tested them.
I think in this case my feelings are with Tesla, although I do think that suing is blunt instrument.
Oh, and @MisestoPisces, yes. Clarkson is a twat. Hammond is a pillock, and I quite like James May, when he isn;t playing the buffoon.
A large, long-established retailer with a simple, uneveolving, business plan incorrectly guessed that their sales would go up during a recession, and look like idiots because of it.
Yet people in padded chairs can predice "107%" increase in sales of apple products 3 years hence with no idea how apple may change their business plan in the meantime.
Predictions now are no more worthwhile than they were from Nostradamus.
If you want to know the wavelength of a TV band signal, go look at a TV antenna.
Is this band really appropriate for pocket equipment?
Another money-spinning act of fawning sycophancy by the department of wishful thinking.
I'd like to add my own predictions that in 3 years time:
* Unemployment in Teeside will have fallen to 0.1%
* Stilton cheese will be outselling Brie throughout Europe
* Gordon Brown will have regained the Labour leadership and won a General election.
Why the update mechanism wan't tested while the OS was being developed, & why the new updates can't be tested before publishing them.
Is this Vapourware, or the future of a once-mighty empire going up in Smoke.
How can it be that with that many highly paid brains in one building they havn't had something ready for five years?
It is customary for commentards like me to suggest that M$ never innovates. Ladies and Gentlemen, I present the evidence.
I said 3 years ago that Vista would cost them the farm, and I still believe it. Have you heard the mutterings from anyone who pays 450 quid for a laptop with W7 basic and then faces a bill for half as much again to make it do something? or people who discover 30 days in just what that "demo" version of office was really all about? Office + W7 premium can come to more than the cost of the laptop, the bastards.
This organisation has seriously lost the plot, and if they think they can derail the whole industry for the 13th time with promises of vapourware at some distant future date, then I think they will learn that the industry finally grew up. I really, really, home that they are doomed, and doomed properly.
A pox on them, the whole miserable crew of them.
I can work round this. We need another clause:
* People for whom the chicken dance presents physical or cultural challenges may substitute any other activity considered similarly ludicrous in the appropriate culture or lifestyle. Nudity is not necessarily discouraged, but should be used to produce hilarity, not arousal. footnote: stage arrows through the head were never funny.
I read the headline as "Duke Nukem Delayed FOREVER" and was completely unsurprised.
I'm afraid that you lot must be getting to me.
I spent ages thinking "If you want a puppy, ask for a horse." was some sort of sexual innuendo, then realised that it was about a teenage girl really asking for a puppy.
Hangs head in shame. wanders off.

A few photos of the day
It was a fantastic day to go flying a glorious 17 degrees with little to no wind (not many golfers either )
A massive turnout of 3 people Mark, Glenn and myself, (quality not quantity ), seriously a few more would have been nice and we are investigating some alternative flying areas. Some photos of the day with video to follow (didn't get photos of my own planes to busy flying): |
Aug 26, 2006, 08:26 PM | |
The weather certainly was fantastic, would have liked to stay around a bit longer!
It would have been good to get some shots of the SU27. Did you get one of the A-10? Hope the vids of your DC3 turned out............. The only photos I took were from the flying wing, but they are pretty ordinary.... Cheers, Glenn. |
