Just chop it all up on Earth before launch, then do it in orbit. You wouldn't even need the mirror. Just have lines free-floating in the middle of the station!!!
And now that I've said this, | just know one of those people paying millions for a ride into space is going to try it.
Yeah, totally. All we would have to do is build above ground methane colectors over an area the size of France & Germany. Why don't you draw up some plans on that and get back to me, ok?
I made a promise to myself, and a threat to the MPAA when the whole DeCSS fiasco erupted, and a poor European boy was arrested for watching DVDs on Linux. I was already waiting until I could get the ENTIRE B5 series before I bought a stand-alone DVD player. But after the problems for DVDJon I decided I was never going to buy a DVD player until CSS was dead, or HD-DVD's came out. I've since had a PC-DVD player given to me from an old machine, and I kept it because my foolish relatives like to give DVDs as gifts. But I'm still glad that I've never given a donation to the MPAA just to watch these movies that I didn't even ask for.
Power to the blue-ray/HD/uberDVD peoples, maybe soon there'll be a good digital solution to my need to record Stargate Mondays on Sci-Fi that doesn't involve magnetic tape.

Not to be insulting, but you saying you could not understand it onlyproves that you did not devote enough time or concentration to the matter.
What truely makes this law corrupt, is that it was created behind closed door by a Republican only committee. Once they brought out the final bill it was 1300 pages long, and would be voted on in 2 days. How can the politicians lie to our faced and say they are against spam when probably none of them could have read through the whole thing.
Then there's the usual problem that almost all of Congress is lawyers, who write laws that can only be understood by lawyers. When you have to pay someone money to know what your own rights are, something has definitely gone wrong with the system.
"A person (including a carrier or carriage service provider)... to do something the right to do which is included in the copyright"
If this is really the correct text of the Copyright Amendment Act the parent mentioned, then MP3s4free.net may still be in trouble, because the people they were linking to most likely did not have the right to share those files.
However, unless there has already been a conviction, or at least an arrest or charges filed, towards someone who was hosting files through MP3s4free.net the judge should throw the case right out.
Wasn't a large part of the anti-trust settlement against Microsoft, that they had to allow people to remove IE from Wnidows, or install Windows without IE as part of it?
If they followed that order, then this new lawsuit shouldn't be a problem. Although I still think the judgement is a big stinking load, but there's nothing I can do about that.
I do the same thing when I take notes, or write small messages. My cursive writing is much faster, and usually very readable, although I do usally cheat on uppercase letters.
I will probably continue to use cursive on little things because of all the practice I got once I entered college, and had to start taking lots of notes very quickly. However, with handhelds, and tablet PCs (or whatever the latest marketing word is) getting faster, with better handwiting recognition and note-taking abilities, the reasons I had for using paper are getting smaller.
How the hell can Ford consider 55mph top speed, and a 50 mile range even as an attempt?!? When I was in high shcool 7 years ago we made an electric car ourselves. We bought a beat up VW Beetle, 6 12 volt batteries, and a new electric motor to drive the car. And with the one or two thousand we spent on that we had something that could go up to 45 mph, and could run for over 2 hours at that speed, which means our range was almost 90 miles.
And yes, our car was street legal, we used to drive to McDonalds in it to get food all the time.

Exactly!

The best definition I ever heard for Democracy was, "Two sheep and a wolf voting on what's for dinner".

Exactly! Where do you think the phrase: "Vote early, vote often!" came from?

If you go read the full story at http://www.chips.ibm.com/news/2000/1211_cmos9.html you'll see the new processs is called CMOS 9S. CmdrTaco had it posted correctly on the main page.
