I can't remember the craft name or year, but I do remember that (after 2-3 tries), the russians landed a working craft onto venus, which operated for ~45 minutes. If you know anything about the conditions there, you're realize how astounding that is.
once they get their top minds onto this idea, the 'flaming spaceman' will become the must-have drink of the oo's. if they put enough brainpower into it, they can just have 'worm-straws' from their factory in alpha centuri to your local pub.
.. you just have to see its effect. specifically, you can use your trusty ol' neutron spectrometer on the surface of an object (like the, say, mars), and - by analysing what bouced back to you, infer, as well as one can when orbiting, the existance of water. This has already been done with the lunar prospector, and could conciveably be done with the Mars Global Surveyor, as it is already mapping the surface from orbit.
all jokes about the polar lander aside, nasa has a pretty good record of knowing what they're talking about. if they do announce this, they deserve at least initial trust.
one main reason, so far as i can tell, that the imac can live without a fan is that its chip has far lower power consuption, and therefore generates much less heat that the x86 counterparts, and therefore require less cooling
if you expect a new development to change the world, you'll inevitably be dissapointed. if, rather, you understand that each new development has its place, then you can see the value of its impact. The telephone had an impact, but it didn't change every aspect of everyone's life; the same goes for the digital revolution. It has allowed the transfer of information to proceed at rates unheard of before, but that's all it is: the transfer of information. By itself, its impact is limited; in conjunction with other elements of society, its impact is much larger, as it adds to the utility and effectiveness of existing technologies.

during the war, from the americans. Where/when did the american revolutionaries get their guns? from the french, during the war. Where/when did the vietnamese get their guns? From the soviets and chinese, during the war. The others I don't know about, but would assume that the forces fighting against the large power got their armements from another large power, who had political reasons to hurt the other power. That is how revolutions last so long, and sometimes win. Lastly - the romans never even had guns!
1. The term 'civilized' wasn't used; such a term is inherently subjective and therefore useless in any attempt at an objective debate. 2. I refer to point 1. But, in the interests of answering your implied question, consider:
While your countries on your list were under the thumb of the nazis for a time, only three (four if you count the vichy regime) that I count moved from democratic to totalitarian through their own political/judicial processes. The rest were taken over, meaning that the governments of the nations were on the side of 'the people', including (so far as I know) the jewish people.
In the nations whose governments did go from democracy to totalitarianism, political action by the people (remember, there was no significant organized opposition to hitler in germany) would have been (presumably) far more effective in stopping the forces of totalitarianism than an armed population, who could only counter-attack the government once it had become totalitarian - i.e., when it was at its most powerful.
In sum, the best tool to counter authoritarianism is political action, not political violence.

Joe: I mean, the very idea of using a symbol which is seen as symbol of a political ideology other than the one currently in vogue in the USA! Bob: Besides, who needs to remember that a red star represents revolution, not communism, or the fact that any and every political system out there can be twisted to create a dictatorship - what was Pinochet, if not a capitalist? What did McCarthy preside over, if not show-trials? Joe: You said it, Bob - anyone questioning the political conformity of the day can almost certainly be traced back to either Stalin, Mao or Hitler - so what's the point of listening to them? I mean, come on! The government-men arn't stupid... they know what's best for us!
might a company use these techniques to offer a commercial airport serivice? by that I mean a company could offer access to a city/state/whatever-wide area airport network which it runs for some sort of monthly fee... though airport, as it stands from apple, only supports a small number of users per node, I'd imagine the nubmer of users/node could be increased fairly cheaply either by buying more nodes (they're cheap.. around $200, i think) or doing some sort of hack... anyway, just my 2...

While there may be no objective (in the purest sense) reason why AI's dominance is negative, there is certainly a subjective (from the human standpoint) negativity(sp?) to such a development. To ignore it is to be blind.

British Slashdotters were shocked Friday when, in a 'hip' London nightclub, a Slashdot moderator was seen consuming the drug known on the street as 'crack'. This revalation has sent shockwaves throughout the bustling on-line Slashdot community, as it confirms their suspicions after a really stupid comment was said to be '2-Insightful' by a doped-up moderator.
