This shaft has been known for quite some time. Why has it taken so long to finally explore what many believe may be a significant find?
Technological limits, my dear. The lower northern shaft has been explored before, but the exploration failed because of a sharp bend which was too-much for the technology of the time (and the current one, too).
I am sorry, I find it hard to believe that Christoper Reeve's birthday (with an s) will be his 25th. What, does Superman age at different rate to everybody else?
Don't you know that Krypton rotates around it's primary in 511 days? And since Krypton days are 34 hours long, the Krypton year is almost 2 Earth years.
With the current available OPEN protocols, there no reason why it can't be achieved.
Use e-mail (SMTP+POP/IMAP), and TALK.
Talk is peer-to-peer. No need to go through a server that can be brought down.
The e-mail part is to disseminate your IP address when it changes. The chat application simply e-mails your IP address to your correspondant's e-mail addresses; the chat client looks periodically for those specially marked messages, and updates it's own IP address database.
Big banks need not worry, as they have fixed IP addresses; their small fry, when they connect, simply sends out a flurry of small messages to all the correspondents.
And to remove the risk of flaky ISP mail servers, the program could connect directly to the big company servers; a special protocol could be used in case the ISP blocks port 25; heck, make it HTTP on port 80!
This way, the system is completely open, and doesn't need any commitees to implement in three years.
That was 22 years ago. He bought a Commodore PET (the big one, with 32 megs), floppy disk drives and printer.
Two weeks later, he comes back with a box, and asked us if we would buy back the printer from him. In the box was the printer.
Totally disassembled.
Down to actual TTL chips, resistors, diodes and transistors. Heck, he even took apart the printhead and separated the tiny coils and the actual needles!!!
We laughed for days about this, and since he was a classmate of mine, I got teased pretty well with that afterwards...
I am sick of having Joe Idiot Security guard poking his stick or whatever through my gear bag. If the TSA kills my PDA while doing their "search" I want some BUTT!
What do you think the black beeeping dildoes they're waving are for????
Hijack train, place nuclear/chemical/biological explosive on it. Run in into a large city. Detonate.
Obviously, you know ZIP about railroads.
You see, trains don't have a steering wheel. That's the little tiny icky bitty detail you forgot about...
Trains only go where the track goes. And (surprise!) it's not the guy in the train who decides where the train goes. Hoooo, noooo. Heaven forbids!
It's a bunch of guys in a control center who remotely control the switches who decide where the trains go. And, no, forget about hacking into the control system; it's foolproof. It really is: it has been developped and debugged throughout the last 150 years.
Ummm... Iraq DID take over a "nation" next to them (if you can call a corporate monarchy with no citizens rights a nation).
A "nation" which was formerly part of Irak, but which was excised by the britshit in 1960 so they could control the oil there...
Saddam was just taking back what was his...
It also lasted for a while, until Busch's personnal interests were threatened. So, a massive P.R. campaign was launched to turn the american public opinion against Saddam. And the rest is "history".

Ask any chilean what they think of the US backing the dictatorship of pinochet...
Or any filipino about the US backing the dictatorship of marcos...
Or any spanish about franco...
Or any afghan about the talibans...
