Actually that is Above Surface Effects Craft. This is similar to a hovercraft but doesn't have the slow speed capabilities of one in which the skirt holds the air. It is very fast as you can see in the video and it has an huge carrying capacity. US did some experiments with several of these in smaller scale but dropped development in favor of the hovercraft, LCAC of current, because the hovercraft can take more abuse than the Above Surface Effects Craft does. Note that nice, clam conditions that the Above Surface Effects Craft was working in the video but under uglier sea conditions and surf near the shore the Above Surface Effects Craft didn't work well and several were damaged to point of sinking during several exercises the USSR where doing at that time. All of these now are museum pieces but I think they have a place in high speed transportation under the right conditions.
I assume this to take away any controversy in Google buying hangar space and runway rights at NASA Ames in Mountain View, CA as describe in a earlier/. article. I'm not against private companies helping the government in research and that should be done in a blind trust as to not to create a conflict of interest. I don't think the government should "sell" resources to fund government operations and this sounds to me of the rich "buying" our government, this sound too much like what was in the movie "Robocop" in which police and military operations are run by private companies so corrupt companies could do "evil".
The Russians also have the biggest nuclear weapon to be tested, Tsar Bomba. Russians love to make extremely large, but practically useless, artifacts like to Tsar Kolokol (The world largest bell ) or Tsar Pushka (The world largest bore diameter cannon). Sometimes having the largest of something doesn't make it better by any means.
This bomb maybe good for several applications in a large traditional war of attrition but not in the current world of fighting smaller and diverse enemies that are in many places. These large bombs are like having the world largest battleship, like the IJNS Yamato, they are being usurped by smaller, more intelligent, and more adaptable weapons.
I'm going to use my brain's Alzheimer disease algorithm to encrypt everything since in a few years I won't able to remember anything and therefore no one would be able to get it, ever.
Now where the heck I put my car keys at...
Actually they do.... in theory. I seen all of the hoopla about the set top digital to analog set top converters but like other vaporware, I have yet to see one on the marketplace. I think there is reason for this in the US, according to dtvfacts.com (http://dtvfacts.com/?gclid=CMzyqZaKwY4CFQISYQodYxpjgQ) I read that the US government is going give out coupons starting January 1, 2008 so you can buy a set top converter at an discount so I assume that this part of reason I see don't those D-A TV set top converters out there now.
You have pretty good insight on astronomy. I used to be astronomer at Chabot Science Center many years ago and I made one telescope and one still in progress, life got in the way. If you have the time you can make an reflecting telescope for a less money. It is best to start with a good optic telescope with a drive mechanism, this is so you can track objects in sky as they move in the sky. Once your get your basics down then you can move then next level of equipment.
As for astronomy software I use Voyager 4 and you can use Voyager 4 control your telescope if your telescope is properly equipped but that will cost you money so best is buy or make a good telescope and then you can later invest in good telescope controlling equipment.
Use foreign language characters to give them a headache. We in US have a 26 character alphabet with rare use of accents and other modifiers so it is easier for them to to crack at these English based passwords. I use Japanese on my home system and they use a larger multibyte per character so that they need to know I'm using another language for the password first. Try using most western European languages will throw them off like using esset from German alphabet or accent marks on the letters.
I remember that Mac OS 6.8 was around 2MB. I think it had two floppies for the OS and the three or four others floppies were utility and support files. At that time RAM was expensive so I remember needing write small programs to fit within memory. Ah the good old days.
