Baking Soda Is Cheap and Public Domain

In other words, not profitable.

Imagine the agony of doctors knowing they might have to limit themselves to just two Maseratis because of alternative therapies. It is one step above the doctor poverty line. The public shame of the three car garage.

Republicans Guarantee WW3 With Hillary Clinton

The candidates they have offered are a pathetic lot of frauds, criminals and degenerates.

They will split the vote and they don't have the numbers to win if they split the party vote. Hillary will win by default.

John Titor hinted that the President would be a woman when World War III began.

Globowarmthinkery Is Religious Gibberish

It's drivel.

It is on par with Rastafarianism and Scientology, except both of those examples still make more sense than globowarmthinkery does.

We have people walking around who honestly believe "science" means the effect that an idea has on your emotions or your vanity. They just don't know any better.

Vault-Co Prediction 2005 : The Need For Overkill

Back in 2005, a decade ago, we predicted that advances in missile defence would necessitate using ten times what would normally be allocated to targets to ensure that one of them would get through.

Russia just rebooted the missile race as of now. Anybody who is not rolling them off assembly lines is going to get saturated with them in World War III. I expect we will also see a return to the days of ever increasing megatonnages to encourage a wider radius of effect, so that a missile only has to get within range to be effective.

Russia still has some of the best engineers in the world but America is a post-modernist dump where the majority of the population cannot even read and write at an adult level. They are going to get creamed in the third World War but maybe that is exactly what the elites want.

What Are The Elites Saying To One Another?

Why Preppers Need Inventory Management

Little known to most survivalists - a lot of bulk food purchases get wasted for the wrong reasons.

This is why Vault-OS is going to fulfill a specific need of preppers most of them don't even know that they have right now.

If you miss rotation dates, don't buy on demand according to what you have in stock (inventory) and do not gauge your purchases according to your deficits (logistics) you are going to end up with too much of what you don't eat, too little of what you desperately need and nothing that is mandatory. It is a terrible thing to discover you have 10,000 expired potato & leek soup packets you will never eat and no protein after one month of cutting into your stocks.

Vault-OS had a screen working previously that was never displayed on this blog because I was still working on it. There was a summary barchart that would show you how equipped you were to feed yourself for 1-5 years at a glance. You could type in the number of members of your family/crew, their ages and genders and get a summary estimate of the differences between what you needed to have in stock to survive a year and the requisite gap you needed to acquire to make up the difference. I had this for several categories of supplies and nutritional support. I borrowed heavily from many ideas crucial to this site.

Going to get this running again as soon as I can, just involves some minor porting to Lua and JQuery for most of it.

Cost Estimation For Running Vault-OS With 5 Terminals

I got my VOS prototype to run with daemons turned off on my Evo Thin Client T20! I didn't even have to install over the operating system, it was already running off Windows NT Embedded! I just copied it over with a USB!!

Since the T20 is really just a rebranded WYSE 3235, I imagine you could install the VOS Server here as well with just a USB device.

Here's a sample cost estimation for a networked, redundant, fully distributed VOS system with 5 terminals and the most minimal equipment to do some monitoring and inventory management.

VOS Server (Typical Thin Client Compaq/WYSE) : $5.00 (That's what mine cost on EBay)
5x Terminals (Thin Clients of any brand running IE6) : $10.00 - $60.00 (Bulk buys offered on EBay)
Ethernet Hub : $10.00 (I fished most of mine out of the garbage, actually.)
3x Cuecat Barcoder (Serial or USB types, unmodified or declawed) : $24.00 (Ebay offer)
Barcode Label Printer : $40.00 (EBay, I also find them on sale sometimes)
Ethernet cabling : $20.00 (often free with a little scavenging)
Keyboards & Mice : $20.00 (Just bought 4 USB flexible waterproof keyboards @ $2 each)
RS-485/Modbus Cabling : $10.00 (Bought ten of these for $8 recently on sale)
Ethernet, RS-485 and RS-232 Optical Isolators : $30.00 (Typical price on EBay)

You could put a terminal in your shelter, shed, kitchen, pantry, garage, attic, basement or any place you needed one as long as you could power it and connect to the intranet. (I have been using Ethernet over power plug for my home and backyard)

Roughly around $100 or thereabouts for most setups.

Adding monitoring devices is another matter. Depends on your setup.

I have purchased BACNET/CANBUS interface devices for $12 - $18 on Futurlec. They accept the RS-485 cabling. You might be able to connect directly to your diesel or wind generator if they currently have an RS-485 or Modbus port. Most generators and power systems often do. The X-10 and I2C interfaces commonly used for household controllers will usually set you back $10-$50.

Security cameras consisting of cheap webcams around $9.00 each could connect to a UPNP port that is currently $20 on EBay. How you house, camouflage or shield these webcams from EMP depends on your setup.

We could say that it is rare it will cost more than $200.00 to turn your pencil and paper / excel spreadsheet outfit at present into the Batcave when Vault-OS is released. Compare to the countless millions spent by Batman/Bruce Wayne on his setup, with nearly the same result. What the most elite high level government shelters pay millions for you will be able to do for around two century bills.

Vault-OS : Nice Infrastructure In Place

I took some of the feedback seriously from the last screen grab.

I decided to toss LCARS layout and strip off as much styling as possible and just stick to the plain vanilla meat'n'potatoes of the infrastructure. I have spent about the last 4 hours getting the screen above to work on IE 6.0 so I can use my Compaq T1010 dinosaurs (thin client browsers) for terminals.

It doesn't look like much but here is what you got in the screenshot above :

1. An .EXE that is 769K in size running on Windows Embedded NT on a very old PC/104 board. Got nearly everything it is going to need compiled in.
2. The menu above works in every single browser I tested it on perfectly, including all versions of IE 6/7/8/9/10/11, Firefox, Opera, Crazy Browser, Chrome. 
3. The curved borders of the main window run in all browsers including IE 6. I had to make sure a mime type for ".htc." and "text/x-component" was returned by the server for the IE plugin to support curved borders on any browser element.
4. The entire menu structure is stored in the database and can be configured from the executive. It is loaded by Lua, formatted and added dynamically to the menu chain. 
5. This is a single page application. It loads all required libraries once and then the window beneath the banner is loaded as dynamic fragments served up by Lua.
6. This server is running the mailslot and one daemon for reading RS-232 data.
7. All those icons are coming from a single custom webfont I have been working on that is around 32K and will soon contain all the letter fonts as well used by the website. The webfont will be cached so there is only one penalty the first time it is loaded.
8. That viewport shrinks to fit whatever screen it is viewed on, including mobile devices. I got this to work correctly without using bootstrap at all.

This basic infrastructure is important to get straightened out and I think it is pretty solid now. I also have done some work on my build process to make it easier for cross-platform. I am going to start porting all my old Lua pages from the former Vault-OS tomorrow night.
