Australian Scramjet Launched
CaptainAlbert writes: "The University of Queensland, Australia is reporting the (possible) success of their "HyShot" scramjet test. The BBC have got this covered too. Apparently, they're now poring over the data loggers, trying to figure out if it actually flew under its own power." We had a story about these guys a while back.
first post!
f1rst pr0st!
Ahhh, the Aussies, always doing some neat shit. Keep up the good work boys.
Convict past? If you knew any of your own history (I'm assuming you're American) you'll know that there were many times more British convicts sent to the US (or rather the colony that went on to become the US) - and that Australia became an alternative only when you guys became independent.
;)
Guess you are just jealous of a country with higher life expectancy, living standards, lower crime etc etc
Of course, I'm biased, although I have lived in both Australia and the USA.
Bin Laden is more homosexual.
We in the West get enough food to live on though.

Linux is the finest example of Community Programming to date. Clearly, from the perspective of even the least intelligent of our audience, Linux blows away the competition. I have been running Linux on my Xeon/16 with 128 Gigahertz of RDRAM and it is amazing. I've started masturbating to the Eliza doctor in EMACS. My god, this is a revolution! Software that you don't have to pay for! Who comes up with this stuff?
I'm telling you, and you, and everyone else too: GNU/Linux is the future. If you don't believe me well I think you are probably an "astroturfer" hired by Microsoft. Many people have been hired by The Great Satan (aka Microsoft) to discredit the fine work of Linux Thorvalds and his crew. But don't let the bastards get ya down -- Linux is the real deal, and won't be surpassed by any Capitalist Programme. I don't care if you are from the racist state of Great Britain, or the enlightened state of Israel, the facts overwhelm any opinions that may be present: If you don't like Linux then you are a dirty good-for-nothing Microsoft-loving clone.
And get this...... I hear Macintoshes only have one mouse button! Can you believe that? Those poor ignorant saps. My mouse has six buttons and that is not counting my scroll wheel. Just last week I was play Quake V and some guy kept camping. It was really pissing me off, you see. So, I get my mouse strapped on.. and I assign button six to my Proton Cannon -- and that guy tries camping. Well, let me tell you... after he tasted my proton cannon he stopped camping. Unfortunately Quake V is not Free Software as discussed in the Debian GUN/LINUX Free Software Guidelines, so I deleted it from my hard drive and threw it out the window. I won't allow proprietary software in my home. The capitalist roaders who enslave us with their "intellectual property" rhetoric have to be stopped. By violence if necessary.
I am a firm believer in DIRECT ACTION. A very firm believer. Democracy and direct action -- all power to the proletariat. Only through unity can we overcome the capitalist running dogs. I for one will not allow binaries that disregard Source Code Freedom onto my system, or my wife's system. Yeah, my wife's system. I have taught her how to use EMACS and program in LISP. She says she is at least 100 times more productive under the GNU environment than she ever was under Micro$oft Windoze. And hey, if she ever says otherwise I slap the bitch. Slap her hard. You've got to understand it is all about freedom... From Each According to His Ability, To Each According to his need -- this revolutionary principle is the foundation upon which Free Software rests, and I strongly support it.
We can't just let these Freedom-hating programmers from Micro$oft push us around. We gotta stand united, you know? Don't let the bastards push you around. Am I qualified to make such statements? AM I QUALIFIED??? You thieving moneychanger! I am the most qualified person on this web site. Why? How? I'm a hardcore protestor of the DCMA. The DCMA is how the man is going to crack down on us -- however they have forgotten the Constitution. I know the Bill of Rights by heart. The DMCA wants to destroy Our Right To Keep and Bear Child Pornography, and I'm not going to let big brother strip away our rights. I'm going to stand up and fight. Martin Luther King Jr. wouldn't take this kind of totalitarian bitchslapping from their governmental Noosphere, and I'm not going to either. I've been standing in front of the White House with a "Just Say No To DMCA -- Free SKYLAB" sign for 2 weeks now.
Why, you ask? Because I'm qualified. I'm good enough, and dammit, I'm qualified. I'm an Open Free Sources programmer and I have a right to my opinion. I've been swappin' rhymes with my bro Wesley Crusher, and we both agree that programmers getting paid for their work is morally wrong . So yeah, to say I'm qualified is one thing, but the fact is I'm overqualified. I'm just that damn good. Ya wanna bet? You challenge me to battle? Okay, you Microsoft Sloth -- choose any random segment of the GNU Hurd source code, and I will tell you exactly what file it is from, and who wrote it. Yeah, I'm that good. Flawless victory. Don't believe me? Fuck you. Just try me. I'm downloading MP3s and Britney Spears porn as we speak. They say I'm a criminal, but I'm not the only one. Open the sources. Crusade the Noosphere. Free Rawanda! Don't let the bastards get ya down! Free software or Death. And I'm not joking.
Peace, out.

Yeah, like that is so uncool!

One American sub fuck in the 60's is believed to fuck tried to launch a (fuck) torpedo with the fuck tube door closed, so even though fuck has got to be one fuck the stupidest things you fuck do on a fuck, it can fuck... I doubt that the supercavitation fuck are inherently more dangerous than regular fuck -- except that I fuck they are fuck experimental. One other thing may fuck worsened fuck odds for fuck Kursk -- fuck you fuck pay your fuck fuck, they are fuck fuck fuck fuck.
