And the "hobby" in the automotive industry right now is nitrous, lights, video players, ugly paint and absurd aluminum wings. Do you think that means no one futzes around with old Stutz Bearcats any more?
Eyewitnesses in California have reported seeing some debris as it passed over them.
My wild assed guess is that a tile was damaged on takeoff, failed early in reentry, led to heating of the landing gear and hydraulic systems that caused a landing gear bay to buckle or open at which point the vehicle started tearing itself apart as its already bad aerodynamics became increasingly worse. The tumbling could have started when the door deformed the airframe.
C.S. Forrester is the author btw. Other good stuff by him includes The General (1936), a hardhitting book about the leaders of WWI which was required reading for pre WWII Warmacht officers, Gold From Crete (1971, his last published work), a collection of WWII era short stories including one of the funniest monkeys ever, The Sky and the Forest (1948), a study of an African native faced with slavery, The Gun (1933), about a lost rifleman during the Peninsular War, and, of course, The African Queen (1935), which was made into a wonderfull movie with Humphrey Bogart and Catherine Hepburn.
But yea, even The African Queen isn't as good of an adaptation as A&E's Hornblower series have been. Also of interest is an earlier big screen adaptation of Hornblower, Captain Horatio Hornblower (1951) starring Gregory Peck and Virginia Mayo which covers, basically, Beat To Quarters and part of Ship of the Line. It's interesting and fairly accurate.
And speaking of Gregory Peck movies, he was much, much better as Atticus Finch in the movie version of one of my favorite books of all time: To Kill A Mockingbird.
Screw Mickey Mouse, his trite ass is trademarked anyways. This ruling does nothing to protect Mickey, trademark is valid as long as it's defended, but protects Steamboat Willy (a derivitave work based on a Buster Keaton movie) from being distributed for free.
The problem is all the other stuff that gets included in the copyright extension that the owners have no wish to republish because it would be unproffitable, but that online non-profit publishers like the Gutenburg Project could make available.
I believe you should have the right to neutralize a worm process running on someone else's infected system, if it's relentlessly attacking your network. I've even written code to demonstrate the process.
Warships bearing the name Exeter have served with the Royal Navy since the mid 17th century. The first of her name was a Third rate of 70 guns that won battle honours at Beachy Head in 1690. She was broken up in 1698 following a magazine explosion in port.
The second was a Fourth rate of 60 guns laid down in 1697 and rebuilt in 1740. She won honours off Newfoundland (1702), in the Mediterranean (1711), at Quiberon Bay (1711), and at the Siege of Pondicherry (1748). She was struck from the list in 1763.
The third of the name was a Third rate of 64 guns laid down in the 1760s. She won four battle honours in one year (1782) at Sadras, Providien, Negapatam, and Trincomalee. She was burned two years later after being condemned as unseaworthy.
The fourth Exeter, and the one most likely to be the namesake of the Trek one, was a York-Class heavy cruiser mounting six 8" and four 4" guns that was launched in 1929. She won her honours at River Platte (1939) and the Sunda Strait (1942). After being badly mauled by two Cruisers and a Destroyer (which she sank) at Sunda, she sailed for the Indian Ocean with USS Pope and HMS Encounter, but the three ships were boxed in by five cruisers and eight destroyers and were all sunk in the Java Sea.
The fifth, and current, Exeter is a Type 42 Destroyer launched in 1978. She was awarded an honour at the Falkland Islands and also saw "action" in the Gulf War. She is still in active service.
Wow. We somehow managed to design and launch a nationwide ad campaign for one of America's largest retail store chains with an OS apparently lacking real applications for real business tasks (except that it also has emacs, GCC, Apache, Python, GIMP, OpenOffice, and Mozilla... too bad they are all but useless for what we do).
Whoda thunk Photoshop, InDesign, Freehand, and MS Office weren't "real" business apps...
Mike Nelson, IBM's director of internet technology...
Shouldn't Joel Robinson be the director of this project? I mean, the guy made at least three AIs out of parts meant to stop and start movies! Mike was barely able to keep them functioning after Joel escaped.
Lots of Photoshop users (and Quark, Illo, etc... anything with bunches of palletes) like to have their artwork on one monitor and everything else - toolbars, pallettes, iTunes, whatnot - on a second monitor.
While not cannon, the Encyclopedia is far better than any of these prequals have been. At least Frank read and approved of it even though he reserved the right not to follow it.
I mean hell, the planet Ginaz!?!? Doesn't it mention in the appendix of Dune that the Ginaz were a house of the Landsradd?
Gahh! this stuff pisses me off almost as much as the unwillingness of the makers of either Dune live action production to put the Harkonnens in their house colors. We just can't have the bad guys wearing blue and white while the good guys wear black and red. Sheesh.
Window controls focus as they are moused over, but it does not switch to that window. The main problem with focus follows mouse on a Mac (X or Classic) is that the menu bar is not attatched to the window but is, rather, at the top of the screen. They would be impossible to use if the focus switched on your way up there.
This main belt asteroid is approx 52 km in diameter and was discoveredby M Wolf at Heidelberg in 1895. This first determination of the spin period was made from 6 nights ofobservations (by Col Bembrick) over a time span of 6 weeks, representing 58 rotations of the asteroid.The large amplitude of the light curve approx 0.4 magnitudes implies a considerable irregularity in theshape of this asteroid.
Personally I would think Minerva would be a better fit being a Roman goddess, but that's an asteroid too.
Plenty of examples are recorded, if not found. A device similar to this was described by Cicero. Archimedes's defences of Syracuse were by all acounts quite elaborate pieces of machinery. King Shu of China ca. 500BCE had made for him a flying bird and a spring operated horse. Egyptian automata from as early as the 15th century BCE were surprisingly - to later hellenes - sophisticated. Archytas of Tarentum - supposed inventor of the screw and pulley - made a wooden pigeon operated by a stream of water that simulated flight. Ctesibius made pnuematic automata around 280BCE. Philon of Byzantium is reputed to have invented a steam powered automaton in the 3rd centurt BCE. Also see the "throne of Solomon" upon which the Byzantine emporers sat.
Important works - unfortunatly only in fragmentary form - from ancient times concerning sophisticated machinery include Hero of Alexandria's (another man supposed to have invented a steam engine) Pneumatica, Automatopoietica, Belopoiica and Cheiroballistra; Philon's De Ingeniis Spiritualibus; and Vitruvius's On Pneumatics for example.
Sure, Iodine-131 has a half-life of a week or so, but the iodine-129 that is made in the same explosion has a half-life of 15.7 MILLION years. Plutonium dioxide has a half-life of 24,000 years, Cobalt-60 a decade or so, Strontium-90 and Cesium-137 30 years or so...
And the danger period is 10 times the half-life, so even I-131 is dangerous for three months.
Which is all incidental to the original point which seemed to be addressing nuclear winter -caused by particulate matter ejected into the atmosphere by the explosions- not fallout.

Disney has now succeeded in preventing anyone from doing to Mickey Mouse what Disney did to Quasimodo. Way to go dickheads.

I've got a working C-64 that's been through a dozen moves, an infinite number of Jumpman inspired rages, and two boys' adolescensce. Space? Hah!

I disagree, I liked God Emperor (and Chapterhouse) myself. But almost as a book of philosophy more than a novel.
Wasn't the first one originally meant to be two books? Dune: Desert Planet and Prophet of Dune IIRC.

It does in OS X... sorta.

Funny, my TiBook has 78 buttons. You need more?
They sonar mapped the first door. That didn't tell them anything but how thick the first door was.
I'd guess one more door and no more specials.
I kept expecting her to say "The rover will be at the door in a couple of minutes so while we wait I'll back up into a corner and bounce up and down".
And the danger period is 10 times the half-life, so even I-131 is dangerous for three months.
