FCAST infoz

coderman: "FCAST is a multicast file distribution application built over the MultiCast Library (MCL). It is independant of the underlying reliable multicast protocol, which means that FCAST can be run both over ALC and NORM."

Underwriters Laboratories' Kevin Ryan summarizes: "The buildings should have easily withstood the thermal stress caused by pools of burning jet fuel"

simmo: "While Ryan's letter does not constitute an official statement from Underwriters Laboratories, it suggests incipient disagreements between UL and NIST about the true cause of the WTC collapses."
simmo: "I think we can all agree that even un-fireproofed steel will not melt until reaching red-hot temperatures of nearly 3000F .. Your comments suggest that the steel was probably exposed to temperatures of only about 500F (250C), which is what one might expect from a thermodynamic analysis of the situation."
simmo: "'most perimeter panels (157 of 160) saw no temperature above 250C'. To soften steel for the purposes of forging, normally temperatures need to be above 1100C."
simmo: "Please do what you can to quickly eliminate the confusion regarding the ability of jet fuel fires to soften or melt structural steel." I read this as Please fly jetplanes into some randomly chosen similar structures and see if they collapse too.
simmo: They're saying noone ever tested skyscrapers for jetplane resilience before?
simmo: What has been tested? did they test nuclear reactors? methinks not
simmo: Or we'd have some figures

The Music Man King Of The Pirates Has A Goal Own It All!

coderman: "When I pulled into the driveway of the King of the Pirates, an upper middle class neighborhood of stylish homes and SUVs, Infinitis, and more Mini-Coopers than necessary, I was surprised by the normalcy of it all."
coderman: "His home was nothing short of spectacular, his wife a mid-30s ex-underwear model (honest!), and his two kids well groomed, apparently intelligent, and very wired (on crystal meth)."
coderman: word to the wise: if you have an underwear model wife, don't spend all your time downloading cheesy pop songs and lame kareoke rips.
coderman: "Honey, i'm off to the gym for my 10pm to 2am workout with Frantz, the handsome and athletic trainer." ' ok dear. i'll be here getting fat on chips and dip as i spend the evening with kazaa and eDonkey' " ... i wish you wouldn't go for that donkey sex; its disturbing.." 'wha?' <door closes>
coderman: "I am preserving our history. When the world goes up in flames in this jihad against all things Western, music will be one of the first casualties. I want to preserve that. No matter what it costs."
coderman: nice dude!!!! when im picking dead roaches out of the nuclear ash to feed my starving animated corpse until i expire mere hours later I will be so glad i can fire up an ipod to listen to Avril Lavigne as i wait for sweet, sweet death.
simmo: Mmmmm roaches
coderman: "Well, Id love to discuss politics with you all day, but Im here to talk about the music. And you are depressing me."
simmo: you smoke em, don't eat em
coderman: simmo++
Mutiny: If he's running BitTorrents, then he IS in-fact distributing the music to other individuals! Book em!
