Does anyone know the risk of explosion of a rocket based on this technology compared to a typical fuel rocket? Does the need for less fuel result in a safer rocket?
No clue how you put Canada on that list.
I live in Calgary Alberta. And not a single ISP offers Uncapped Downloads unless you pay for a small Biz Line. Caps start at 20 Gigs for the slow internet 200kbits/s up to 100 Gigs for 10Mbit/s
Headline on slashdot reads : China Says It Lacks Skills To Hack US Systems
I read it as : China doesnt have da 1337 skills.
Unless they are talking about driving skills, then its total bull. 1 Billion people, im pretty sure there has to be atleast 1-2 tech savvie people working for the goverment.
And he ran, he ran so far away.
he just ran, he ran all night and day.
he couldnt get away.
Anyone else remember that GTA commercial? Was it a Canadian only thing? I think that is a very apt song for this situation and all the more ironic it was in the GTA commercial.
That internet is not aimed at a gamer. Or someone who uses the internet lots. Its aimed at Grandma and Grandpa. Who want the odd email from there grandchildren.
Who open there email once a month to see graduation pictures. Or birthday pictures. And who still type websites into the search box insead of the Address box. Do you see them even using half of this cap? I dont. Should they pay more when they dont even know what a Mbit is and if there email works they think everythings fine.
Slashdot at times needs to stop pretending that we are the only people who use the internet. You need the more expensive plan. Good. But dont complain about a cheap plan for people who only need a little.
Hell come out west. Every ISP i have had for the past 4 years in alberta has had a cap.
For telus(DSL) and shaw(Cable) on there Light weight Email plans (slow speeds)
I think the caps are around 20GB.
You move to normal plans.
And with Shaw you get 60 GB
and telus you get 20 GB still.
Move up another plan on both.
60GB on both.
And shaw has 1 more plan higher. Gives you 100GB a month.
I belive Telus charges 1 Dollar a GB over and reserverse the right to cancel your plan.
I Actually went over the 20GB plan with telus and they just upgraded us to the next plan automatically.
Truthfully with a family fully of people using computers the 60GB cap is extemly hard to hit. Im not saying im the biggest downloader or uploader or any of that kinda stuff. But I think 95% of slashdotters would be hardpressed to hit the 60GB limit monthly.

I thought grammar errors resulted in improper sentences.
If you build it they will come. And with lego its even easier.
Ever wanted to blow up the **** out of terrorists?
There is an app for that.
It seems everyone week Slashdot finds a new measurement of units.
Libary's Of Congress, Ipods. I am sure theres some I have missed.
Silver bullets don't actually hurt werewolves. The only way we'll defeat them is by eliminating their source of power - the moon!
Good luck finding a police officer that can get rid of the moon.

Whats better than whipping it out and playing some starcraft?
More than likely that it runs on beer.
I'm pretty sure i can run Linux on beer also. Just my efficiency goes down.... or up depending on the task.
The real question should be. Does it run Linux.

I find the use of language in this comment offensive. Wheres the ESRB for slashdot? I want all comments to have summaries beforehand!
He's dead, Jim.

Could we have this important information in units used by, I don't know, the rest of the world?
Library's of congress? Iv seen that used a lot recently.Headline on slashdot reads : China Says It Lacks Skills To Hack US Systems

The info on http://slashdot.org/~hansreiser his slashdot account?
I love his comment in his Foes section. hansreiser (6963) loves everyone or plays their cards very close to their chest.
The main reason is while wheels are nice they take up so much weight and room on the probe that there is much much less scientific gear you can carry.
Is a world without myspace a world we want to live it!
