Lets be ridiculously generous and assume a scramjet boost phase could lift you to 155 km at mach 18. You have only gained about 5% of the necessary kinetic energy needed for LEO
Pardon my pointing this out, but NASA's got another idea on boosting...
Isn't there a pretty strict limit on the number of missiles it can carry? If an F-22 goes up with 8 missiles, it can only take out 8 targets (assuming all hit). After that, it can only bug out.
Depends on how good they are with that 20mm cannon mounted in the right wing....
Technically correct. It *is* a copyrighted standard, with the copyright being held by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association. When defining proprietary software as "computer software licensed under exclusive legal right of the copyright holder", this standard would fall into that category.
There's a major manufacturer already using pads for their motherboards. It ships with laptop motherboard replacements. It's a pain-in-the ass to work with, peels from the backing tape badly, and is a lot LESS convenient (for me) than thermal goo.
As long as I have an out, if other people don't know or don't care about their security/privacy enough to protect it, I don't feel any special obligation to punish a company that exploits their ignorance.
And Netflix...is a private company...I could understand this maybe if it was a govt. entity, but how can they make a private company like Netflix alter their business model or software like this?
The ADA is getting out of hand...
Since it's been a legal requirement for them to pass-through captioning/subtitling that's already been done, this isn't nearly the burden you think it is. In fact, for the last 5 years, all new TV material has been *required* to have captioning ( with a very few exceptions), so Netflix isn't going to have pay to have all their material redone.
Agreed wholeheartedly. I've had clients in my face, screaming.... and have never reacted like Paul did. At most, I excused myself for a few moments to make sure I was composed.
When the error's on your end, suck it up and get ready for some unhappy people.
Unless the doctor officiously attempts to prolong life, no matter how painful or futile that prolongation is for the patient, the patients relatives are going to sue that doctor to the hilt for not doing their utmost for the patient. Ease the patient out and its a murder rap. "Ars Longa Vita brevis", but not if you're talking to a litigeous lawyer!
Which is why my wife and I worked this out LONG ago:
Then there are the physically and mentally disabled and infirm elderly who have outlived their retirement savings. Nobody wants to hire them for anything even if they could do the work.
I recently spoke with another deaf tech, and yes, it's a problem. Rather annoying to find people with a quarter of your experience hired over you just because you can't hear on a phone.
Quarks normally group up in 3s; with a proton being two ups and a down, and a neutron being two downs and an up. Another form of quark grouping consists of a quark and an anti-quark of the same flavour, which is what's been observed here. And this is the first time that one of these pairs has been observed that consists of quarks with the beauty flavour. Other flavours of pair have been observed before, but its the fact that this one consists of beauty quarks that makes it "new".
So, in essence, {and pardon the food analogy} you're saying that most matter is like an 3-scoop ice cream cone - two vanilla, one chocolate, or two chocolate, one vanilla - and what they've found here is one scoop of double-mint truffle fudge, two scoops gold-leaf-covered Cherry Garcia? (ie, it's still an ice cream cone as expected, just with more exotic flavors.)

As a sting, this is pretty hopeless.
Naah, just needs the right media spin.

Operational but not deployed.
Retired and not operational.
GS wasn't destroying systems,
Oh yes they *were*. I can't count how many times I had to clean up after those guys.
Hearing it was mechanical in nature made me call bullshit before I even saw the video.
A gyroscope flywheel is mechanical, yet would serve such a purpose. Mechanical gyros are used in spacecraft and aircraft.

Did you just call DICOM proprietary?
Technically correct. It *is* a copyrighted standard, with the copyright being held by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association. When defining proprietary software as "computer software licensed under exclusive legal right of the copyright holder", this standard would fall into that category.
Just look at how well that trickle-down theory worked during the war...
Put another way, who benefited more, the workers or the board of Halliburton?
Yeah, there's a tech glut in the area, which makes it just that much harder for a deaf guy to find work in the field.
There's a major manufacturer already using pads for their motherboards. It ships with laptop motherboard replacements. It's a pain-in-the ass to work with, peels from the backing tape badly, and is a lot LESS convenient (for me) than thermal goo.
He can call the van the "Q-Bus". Now, how cool would that be?
It's all fun and games until John de Lancie gets abducted in one...

....aaaand that's why we have Fox News...
Yeah, try "Phoenix, Arizona"...

Agreed. As a news junkie, /. is just a little too slow with new stories, too.
How many people die every year from fires caused by electrical modifications made by unlicensed people? Zero?
The number is much higher than zero, and you know it. If you don't know it, Google should be able to enlighten you.
You can have responsibilities without conscience.
Of course you can. It's called Congress.
This makes me wonder if there are exceptions.
Being mostly deaf, I use IP-relay a lot, and use an IM client to access it. Does the simple act of logging my IMs turn me into a criminal?
Agreed wholeheartedly. I've had clients in my face, screaming.... and have never reacted like Paul did. At most, I excused myself for a few moments to make sure I was composed.

I wonder if this means something important?
Depends. Do you currently find yourself sculpting landscapes with mashed potatoes?

Where would YOU draw the line?
Probably at two Utes.
They forgot to blow into the instruction cartridge before they reinserted it back into the system.
Wouldn't have helped. That cartridge was fried after the incident with Chrome and the House of Blue Lights.
