| | Why Have We Turned The Pacific Ocean Into The Largest Garbage Dump In The World? | | 2008-07-06 11:07:00 | | Someday historians will look back on our time and will refer to us as "those crazy Plastic People".A "plastic soup" of garbage floating in the Pacific Ocean is growing at an alarming rate and now covers an area TWICE the size of the continental United States.We take things like plastic and nylon and polyester for granted today.But look at what we have done.We have created the largest garbage dump in the world in the Pacific ocean.An area about twice the size of the continental United States that stretches from Hawaii to Japan is filled with a "plastic soup" of trash, plastic, garbage and human waste.How could we do this?How could we be so immoral and destructive?What will we tell our children?People need to wake up before we completely ruin this planet.

| | DOT NET FAQ'S ON GARBAGE COLLECTION | | 2008-06-26 08:05:00 | | What is Delay signing ?
During development process you will need strong name keys to be exposed to developer which
is not a good practice from security aspect point of view.In such situations you can assign the key
later on and during development you an use delay signing
Following is process to delay sign an assembly:
√ First obtain your string name keys using SN.EXE.
√ Annotate the source code for the assembly with two custom attributes from System.Reflection: AssemblyKeyFileAttribute, which passes the name of the file containing the public key as a parameter to its constructor. AssemblyDelaySignAttribute, which indicates that delay signing, is being used by passing true as a parameter to its constructor. For example as shown below:
[Visual Basic]
[C#]
[assembly:AssemblyKeyFileAttribute("myKey.snk")]
[assembly:AssemblyDelaySignAttribute(true)]
The compiler inserts the public key into the assembly manifest and reserves space in the PE file for the full strong name signat | | By: dot net made easy | | |

| News: Military takes over Naples garbage | | 2008-06-15 02:59:27 | | Living in Italy, I am always interested in the local news. Not only for the contents, but also to get a feel of how people over here think and live their lives...I reported in an earlier post about the garbage problem in Naples which left piles of stinking rubbish uncollected since December, due to incompetent governance and interests of the Comorra, the Mafia's local variant.In January, the army started clearing up the piles of waste. Local waste dumps, however, were not able to handle the amounts of garbage people generated, and train loads of Napolitana trash went all over Europe. Germany is taking 200,000 tonnes of rubbish from Naples. Every day of the week a 56-wagon freight train full of rotting tomatoes and stinking nappies makes its way across the Alps to Hamburg, in northern Germany.That was not a permanent neither a cost efficient solution. In a new phase to the Naples waste saga, the Italian army has now opened up its own waste dump near the city. 2,500 armed soldiers are se | | By: The Road to the Horizon | | |

| Garbage truck clocked at 112km/hr | | 2008-04-25 09:04:00 | | A garbage truck has been impounded and its driver faces charges in what is believed to be the first case of a commercial vehicle snagged by Ontario's new street racing legislation. "I don't think this guy is going to get the employee-of-the-month prize anytime soon," Const. Joanna van Mierlo of the Huron County detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police remarked Thursday.

| | A closer look at the ocean's plastic layer of garbage | | 2008-04-11 20:09:10 | | A few months ago I wrote about a sea of plastic waste floating just below the water in a huge area of the North Pacific. Well, the blogger New York Nerd got an email from some folks who actually decided to go see it.What people don’t get is that it’s not really a patch and it’s not really an island, both of which you might be able to contain and control. No, what we found is much worse. It’s like a gigantic toxic stew and it’s a big big problem that we need to pay attention to now.There's links to at his site to YouTube videos of what they saw. Check it out.Graphic from Buffalo Readings; this page is a good source of other information about this catastrophe.Atom

| | | Craving A Garbage Plate? | | 2007-12-11 08:46:00 | | Hometown food goods tend to be popular gifts during the holidays for ex-patriots of Western New York. I know that Buffalo Foods does a brisk business shipping out items like Weber's Horseradish mustard and Sahlen's hot dogs.Former Rochesterians now have a place to turn to when they have a craving for Abbott's custard or need Nick Tahoe's hot sauce to create a garbage plate. NY Style Deli specializes in a lot of food favorites for those from "Smug Town."See the article in the business section of today's D&C for more: Garbage Plate sauce labeled with a T. for Tahou. | | By: In Java, Literally... | | |

| | Crows – The dirty animals that depends on garbage | | 2007-10-11 07:47:30 | | There is a bunch of people in Sri Lankan society which clearly resemble to crows which solely depend on garbage.Their business is so called human rights and they will be profited only when they can convince the international community that there are huge violations of human rights in this country.Whenever, there is UN general assembly or other important world summit, these crows pack up their junks and go there in advance. Then they start campaigning in those organizations to tarnish the image of our mother land.They are consistently providing exaggerated statistics and reports on human right violations to UN organizations requesting for sanctions against Sri Lanka.The darker the devil they can formulate on the image of our country, the larger the bag of money they get in turn.The current leaders of this dirty gang are Sunila Abesekara, Nimalka Fernando and Rukshan Fernando.There is large number of our mothers and sisters shed their sweat in Middle East countries and there are equally large number of youth laboring in garment industry and other industries in Sri Lanka. However, hard their livelihood, they are having dignity and have never been a burden for their mother land.Life is easy for someoneshameless,cunning as a crow,backbiting and forward,arrogant and corrupt,but for someone who's constantlyscrupulous, cautious,observant, sincere,pure in his livelihood,clean in his pursuits,it's hard.- Dhammapada (Malavagga)Regardless of these NGO crows live in luxury and having political power, the history will record all of them as mere traitors.In fact, it will be interesting to check the ancestral roots of these dirty crows and see if these shameless creatures are really the current joints of the same ancestry that has betrayed our mother land during the colonial period.Crows always look for garbage and waste as their food and even if given an opportunity, those will never learn to depend on fruits or vegetation.We all know that there are some other NGOs which are genuinely serving the country on moral basis and without any hidden agendas. However rather than being a dirty NGO activist of this nature, one would be better of finding a job in garbage collecting or being a cemetery keeper!It is worth than being a traitor of one’s own country. | | By: Lanka Rising | | |
| | Baby Fatima found in garbage in Iraq... | | 2007-08-14 21:10:00 | | A time to weep?Being an orphan is bad enough.. being an orphan of parents who were brutally murdered is worse.. If you have small children, imagine if you and your spouse disappeared, and imagine how your little ones would feel all alone. Our son cried for hours this spring during a flight to Turkey, one where I stayed behind in the US. "Where's Baba?!" "Ben Babami istiyorum!" rings in my ears, and I wasn't even there. So do the math. Fatima is too small to remember these days, but that doesn't mean she does not feel a huge emptiness. We feel it for her, this much is certain. | | By: Amerikan Turk | | |
| | Can you avoid using the garbage collected heap? | | 2007-07-13 07:47:00 | | All languages that target the runtime allow you to allocate class objects from the garbage-collected heap. This brings benefits in terms of fast allocation, and avoids the need for programmers to work out when they should explicitly 'free' each object.The CLR also provides what are called ValueTypes—these are like classes, except that ValueType objects are allocated on the runtime stack (rather than the heap), and therefore reclaimed automatically when your code exits the procedure in which they are defined. This is how "structs" in C# operate.Managed Extensions to C++ lets you choose where class objects are allocated. If declared as managed Classes, with the __gc keyword, then they are allocated from the garbage-collected heap. If they don't include the __gc keyword, they behave like regular C++ objects, allocated from the C++ heap, and freed explicitly with the "free" method. | | By: Microsoft & Dotnet Interview Questions | | |
| | Redneck Garbage Graffiti | | 2007-05-24 08:04:00 | | If Dad says you have to do it, I guess you have to do it. But what do you think Joe Bob's dad would say about it? Perhaps, one man's trash is another man's treasure?
"His Dad said: Take out the trash. So now Bubba's dating Joe Bob's sister."Hey girls! I think Joe Bob has a brother that's single. This could be your opportunity.

| | Debris, Garbage and Rubbish | | 2007-04-16 21:53:00 | | This week's posting is not about cute, cuddly or other interesting bits of wildlife. This is the natural history of waste. While filming in waters off the Philippine island of Cebu, the crew encountered a typhoon, a common enough experience for that part of the world, and in itself not very remarkable perhaps. Though it did create some interesting rain drops on sea water effects, as you can see from this still image taken from the film.No, the point of interest in this week's posting lies with the amount of debris which the winds and currents churned up, to produce a long slick of flotsam and jetsam.What astonishes me is the sheer amount of true debris, garbage, and rubbish that you can see, hidden amongst the uprooted and broken bits of seaweed. Most obvious is plastic, plus other unidentifable things, the origins of which I don't really want to guess. Of course I know that the oceans are polluted, and have been for decades, but it's not until you have close personal experience that the size, scale and nature of the problem is realised. I was not on the trip of course, but the crew have talked about it in the tea-room since.Greenpeace have an illuminating (if that's the right word) website, describing what is known as the 'trash vortex', which lies in the eatern part of the Pacific Ocean where winds are light and the currents bring together huge amounts of rubbish.The threats to wildlife from the unsightly mass of mess are well known. Entanglement in plastic by turtles, or marine mammals can lead to drowning. And ingestion of larger items of debris by seabirds who mistake it for prey, can lead to starvation.NHNZ Images has amongst its holdings things like pollution that unfortunately show the world in its true light.
