SS Richard Montgomery

SS Richard Montgomery was an American Liberty ship built during World War II, one of the 2,710 used to carry cargo during the war. The ship was wrecked off the Nore sandbank in the Thames Estuary, near Sheerness, England in 1944 with around 1,400 tonnes (1,500 short tons) of explosives on board, which continues to be a hazard to the area. == History == The ship was built by the St. Johns River Shipbuilding Company in its second year of operations, and was the seventh of the 82 such ships built by that yard. Laid down on 15 March 1943, she was launched on 15 June 1943, and completed on 29 July 1943...

Burgi

thats the one

if the terrorists were smart they would target that

DavidPostill

> According to a BBC news report in 1970,[12] it was determined that if the wreck of Richard Montgomery exploded, it would throw a 1,000-foot-wide (300 m) column of water and debris nearly 10,000 feet (3,000 m) into the air and generate a wave 16 feet (5 m) high. Almost every window in Sheerness (pop. circa 20,000) would be broken and buildings would be damaged by the blast.

However, news reports in May 2012 (including one by BBC Kent) stated that the wave could be about 4 feet (1 m) high, which although lower than previous estimates would be enough to cause flooding in some coastal settle…

allquixotic

14:02

@DavidPostill 1.4 kt of doesn't seem like it would pose a danger if it's exploding in the water like that...

that's about 10% of Hiroshima, and since explosives radiate energy in all directions, 10% of the explosion delivers much less than 10% of the blast in any particular direction

Nick

techignite.computer.org <-- I would so love to go for this. Anyone joining me?

allquixotic

@Nick do you actually have the pre-existing background and experience to make the most of it instead of just looking around going "wow... wow... wow..."?

also many of those speakers talk online for free, Reddit AMAs, Second Life, etc

I "met" Grady Booch virtually and participated in a Q&A session with him during OSCC 2016

didn't have to pay a dime

Nick

@allquixotic Um, I didn't think much beyond the "wow, wow, wow" part but I am a computer engineering student and IEEE volunteer. So, yeah, I do think I can make the most of it if given the oppurtunity.

@allquixotic Mhh, i should keep an eye out for things like tht too.

allquixotic

IMO you don't really learn anything practical from those sorts of "fireside chats" where some guy shares his philosophy or whatever -- they're often so scatter-brained and answering so many questions that it's difficult to follow their train of thought, and they never get into a deep enough discussion about any one thing to be really useful

I liked Grady Booch's presentation at OSCC, but the chat afterwards wasn't much of anything... plus a lot of people taking up time asking him fairly boring questions that have easy answers

Nick

@allquixotic If you don't compare it with other explosions, it's still a devastating blast.

allquixotic

14:09

if you're an IEEE volunteer you should be able to get some kind of serious discount. one would think. they do take care of their "members" as much as they like to clean out your wallet

I'm glad not to be a member, personally; colossal waste of time for actually accomplishing anything unless you're an on-campus student looking for a job

they help students get jobs, I'll give them that... beyond that, kind of a farce of an organization that hasn't done much to advance the state of the art in 10 years

Nick

@allquixotic I do have a discount if I register in the next week but the travel expenses to san Francisco are just so massive.

allquixotic

they love to collect bureaucrats and directors and pay them 6 figs to sit around and build powerpoints and go to "cons" (conferences) and eat muffins and talk about the weather

it's all so pretentious and unproductive imo

they're an organization built around 20th century ways of socialization and collaboration, advocating the development of careers of professionals who build systems (computer software) that enable a completely new, revolutionary way of 21st century socialization, i.e. the Internet

kind of weird when you think about it; shouldn't the whole organization, and everything they do, be 100% virtual?

why not? do you have to shake someone's hand in person to learn from them? I don't

Nick

@allquixotic That is a very genuine point but allow me to counter. Isn't the experience of shaking hands, eating muffins and talking about the weather with Steve Wozniak a cherishable experience worth the travel and money no matter how unproductive it is.

@allquixotic They do have a webinars and interactions from time to time.

allquixotic

I don't think so; Woz had a heyday as a very productive engineer but he's just a man

and I say that as a recently inducted Apple fanboy

bbl meeting

Nick

@allquixotic I often find it's easier to grasp concepts when there's a face. As much as I like an anon telling me how to Tor and DDos stuff, I prefer a named face because that's often more memorable.

@allquixotic Exactly, he is a man. A living breathing inspiring man with a finite existence that a lot of people would love to meet. If he were an installable AI that does MOOCs on the Apple API, I'd say yeah, an interaction is not as exciting but a 20th century interaction with a live human legend, it's worth an arm and a leg.

@BenN - All they did was change the default command prompt. They have good justification for it, command prompt is way to difficult to add features to, which is the entire reason they made Powershell in the first place.

noitsbecky

@CanadianLuke Spent years doing it, why?

Canadian Luke

I'm trying to boot a laptop that has a locked-down BIOS to the network. I use FOG normally to image it, but the image I have for that model is too big. I figured if I could boot the Windows 7 ISO, it would let me do a fresh install and I can get it running

I tried creating my own Win7 PE image, but it also stops half-way through booting up with a status code of 0xc00000e9, An unexpected I/O error has occurred

noitsbecky

WinPE over network your mean?

We used a linux based image installer thingy.

Also what do you mean the image you have is too big? Too big for what in particular?

Canadian Luke

18:43

@noitsbecky When I try to build the ISO image using the AIK, it claims the image is too big - 700 MB. I tried "optimizing" it, but it only saved 2 MB. I also tried just the regular Win7 ISO, but that failed even earlier. When I was building the WinPE image, I tried to import the drivers for that system into it

This was an isolated incident. It's fine. Let's move on.

@Bob I'm pretty sure there's an alternative.

I'm a lot better behaved than I used to be, so these sorts of incidents are now rare. I'm totally convinced this can be done without having to go out.

Your thoughts?

...or am I just believing in a falsehood?

If you don't go out you will end like me. A cynical person who is closer to a donkey's rear then a cute lovable puppy :-)

23:14

A summary of the lessons learned after today's incident:
1) I need to have a sense of humor. There already have been several incidents in the past due to my taking things too seriously, and not having a good laugh once in a while creates stress which adversely impacts my temper. If I learn to laugh, I can prevent this sort of disruption from happening in the future.
2) I need to follow (or at least seriously consider) other community members' advice. This means I need to stay in control of myself so that I don't wind up doing the wrong thing.

Let's move on.

Laughter yoga

Laughter yoga (Hasyayoga) is a practice involving prolonged voluntary laughter. Laughter yoga is based on the belief that voluntary laughter provides the same physiological and psychological benefits as spontaneous laughter. Laughter yoga is done in groups, with eye contact and playfulness between participants. Forced laughter soon turns into real and contagious laughter. In the mid-1990s, laughter yoga was practiced in the early mornings in open parks, primarily by groups of older people. Laughter yoga was made popular as an exercise routine developed by Indian physician Madan Kataria, who writes...

In light of this incident, I've told my mom that I may sometimes go out to take a walk around the local area with little to no prior notice.

@JourneymanGeek I was wondering why. I did realize at one point that I wanted attention, but the reason isn't obvious.

I'm going to see if I can leverage this and dedicate more time each week to going out and socializing so I can improve my soft skills.
