Slashdot has made another victim it seems. When does 'slashdot' realize that they cannot moraly do without one.
On another offtopic note to the fremsh bashers: Please show me the weapons of mass destruction in iraq. There never were any when the war started with that excuse.
It could be my understanding, but isn't carbonfibre quite conductive as well? It nothing more than long strands of graphite essentially. Therefore carbon fibre would not be the material radomes are made of. On the picture it looks more like ordinary glassfibre, at least no black carbon fibres are visible...
And yeah: Why they did flew straigt through it is beyond me.
Good idea. Dunno if lots of people read it this late in this story... If you really want to make it work, start by making a website for it. mirror it on a thousant places and then post it to slashdot...
Not quite true: these fuels are used in a hybrid fuel enigine. The benefits are an enigne that isn't very explosive, has easy storage and can be throttled back. Liquid fuel or solid fuel engines don't have both of these properties. Rubber is used because of it's high carbon content, nitrous oxide is used because it stores easier than liquid oxide.
2 KV at 500mA is seriously dangerous. Those voltages should only be handled with 'one hand in your pocket' to prevent that currents might go trough the hart when a mishap occurs. 2KV will jump a good distance from bare contacts, so you don't even have to touch them. But you are welcome to prove me wrong; Darwin will take care of you I suppose;-)
There is a good safety thread @ 4hv.org. Read that before you start taking that spare MO apart.
The output voltage of a microwave oven transformer (MOT) is more in the range of 2KV than 6 KV. Just as lethal (500mA) but a bit cheaper to manufacture. Otherwise BigBlockMopar told a good story.
Except that you'd need about 50 of them to adequately protect a city with them. The range from such a unit will be not more than a few hundred meters. Good luck to the guy waiting on standby to aim and fire at the incoming lccm.
With profits high enough to warrant a $5000 expense, I'd worry more about smugglers using kit like this and sending the dope straight over the border. Drop the payload on a predetermined point and ditch the airframe somewhere remote. Offcourse you could do the same with a boat and transport much more payload... There a many more smugglers than terrorists.
This patent proposes a novel way to gain any patent desired. It uses a web interface where the applicant can describe her invention and a single click button that submits the application to the upsto-or whatever it is called. After payment of due fees the patent is granted. A money back garantee is given to the applicant in case the patent is overthrown in court.
it has been pretty quiet lately on the aegis mailing list, I dont recall seeing your name there. There are other people that could have helped you if you asked. Maybe you should have payed more attention to the manual than to dissecting the source.
If the cvs server has not checked your files in yet, how can it use them to test the build? That is not cvs behaviour but some wrappers around cvs. I am sure that if you are persistent you can bypass them easily.
CVS is a history tool, it stores older versions and branches. Aegis is a Process tool, it helps you adhere to a particular model for developing software.
Make sure that the proposed checkin builds correctly. Make sure that there are tests written for this exact change. Make sure that the source is up to date with the baseline. Then make sure that somebody else reviews the code. Then try integrating it. Rebuild those parts of the program that were touched and run the tests again. Make sure it is still not out of date with the baseline. If that all works out, then you can put your change in the baseline. Sounds Complicated? It is if you dont use a tool for it. Or you could just use Aegis to help you write better code.
share the filesystem over nfs or samba, and make aegis log into the windows box as the appropriate user. You need to be able to do your building or testing etc from the command-line. The reason you cannot use Aegis in a multi user environment on cygwin, is because the setuid method on unix is still too different from the windows counterpart. If you want the details on that restriction, consult the manual or website...
a single message would be enough, if everybody here would do the same. Besides, any email that is on their website isn't very secret dont you think? they will be spammed a lot anyhow, so why care about some coming from slashdot readers.

as pointed out it is accepted spelling, and ueber would be better translated as 'over'

Produces much more fusion neutros for much less money. It is the only fusion technology I know of that has seen deployment outside research labs.
have a look here to build your own.
[imagine a beowulf cluster of these]

If you dont like NFS, you could use any other networking filesystem, maybe samba? aegis doesn't care.
