Excuse me, but how is this "Interesting"? First, near-light speed is not possible anytime soon. (Not in the time frame of this project.) Secondly, if we had near-light speed, the trip will take an hour and a half by our time. Near light speed travel will be bad for the astronauts because their time will take forever to pass. Time slows down the faster you get.
Bin Laden is probably trying to get Bush to stay in office. Bin Laden is not stupid; he knows that if he exhorts Kerry to win, Americans will vote for Bush. Think about how good Bush has been for the "Islamic insurgency". Even the British have said a hundred thousand Iraqis have died in the war. Even the Western nations dislike America. Why would Bin Laden want Kerry to stay in office? Bush hasn't made killing Bin Laden a priority, even though he promised to get him, "dead or alive". Kerry might act actually commit troops to Afghanistan or Pakistan and get rid of Bin Laden.
So, no, I do not believe Kark Rove came up with this one. I think that Bin Laden is making a reverse-psychology ploy to keep Bush in office.
This simplifies everything, but it's far from insightful. Read the coffee case; McDonald's was serving coffee heated to a temperature far hotter than normal. This extra-hot coffee causes second and third degree burns in 12 seconds. They did this to milk an extra few cups of coffee out of each batch.
Note that the weight case got thrown out of court.
Note that the suits for cigarettes cover periods when cigarette manufacturers claimed that smoking was good for your health; it cleared your throat and sinuses (ah, menthol). Remember when Big Tobacco leaders went on Congress and swore that cigarettes didn't cause cancer and weren't addictive? All the while, they were doping up their cigarettes to be more addictive.
Sure, you know Drano kills. But what if the cap isn't child-safe and your baby, who, through no fault of hers, probably doesn't read too well, eats the tasty crystals?
Why don't you ask about the thalidomide suits. Or the peeling lead suits? Why don't you just think?
There is a system and always has been for what needs inspected just like your local town cops have for what to look for for drunk drivers late at night or suspect vehicles and so on.
Yes. Drunk drivers swerve. Cops follow cars coming out from bars. Yeah, so you search the five percent coming from Afghanistan or whatever. But what if the terrorists are just slightly smarter and ship it from France? Or Spain? Because they do have terrorist groups there, too. How can you guarantee that the five percent you do search are the correct five when it comes to large metal containers that don't swerve or tick? Because just one has to get through to make it a bad day.
Oh, we are handsearching everything? I thought that we could invest some money in scanners using proton beams or something, instead of blowing another country up. Hehe?
And Kerry using scare tactics? How about raising the alert level and having Tom Ridge compliment his boss for his great leadership? How many times has Bush said "9/11" or Rice saying, "We don't want the next smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud?"
Hehe. What the hell were they thinking, "Solving the Slashdot effect". Don't challenge Slashdot and get away with it. Just remember Coralizing and how well that turned out, too.
Don't worry. He doesn't know how to troll. He was modded "Funny". Which doesn't increase him karma at all. Quirks of the system, man, quirks of the system.
Hopefully, I'll be modded informative. Or someone will figure out that I'm karma-whoring by saying this and mod me off-topic. But then my karma's already at Excellent, so mod away.
It would be funny, however, if I were modded "Funny". Hehe.
Thermos was lost. However, there were injunctions preventing unfair competition. The competitors had to put their brandname to describe the generic "thermos" they were making. There might have been a settlement or something. However, Thermos was lost as a brand.
The context was why markholder are so aggressive in defending them. You have to show such activity to mean that you are "policing" your mark. I mean, Coke sent a letter to a porn site that had a woman, uh, enjoying her Coke, uh, bottle. Was there to be confusion? Probably not. But you don't want to squander your goodwill. See?
Trademarks are use it or lose it. Thermos used to be trademarked. Then they allowed everyone to use it. Now, Thermos is a generic name that everyone can use. Aspirin used to be a trademark of Bayer. It was Bayer Aspirin Brand Salicyclic Acid Tablets, now it is not because they allowed everyone to use it.
Trademarks are important IP. The dependency is so severe that we don't think about it. But imagine if everyone can say they are making MS Windows (okay, okay, FINE) or IBM systems. There'd be confusion left and right.
Hate to be annoying, but Japan really had an opportunity to start over when their systems were being built and rebuilt after WWII. The States have a lot of old crappy wire stuck there for ages and underground where they can't really be redone easily, etc. Also, Japan is a smaller place. Easier to do.
Grammar may never be off-topic, but it certainly can be over-rated.
Anyway, onto the story. Peltier devices are cool and hi-tech, but if they fail, they become insulative. If the core is capped by such a device, it is far from certain any auto-throttling mechanism can act fast enough to prevent the core from melting. (Remember those videos of the Athlon blowing up if the heatsink fell off?)
We should stick with air-cooling and multiple-processors, anyhow. And someone needs to write a pervasively multi-threaded OS like BeOS was. (Or technically, is, but hehe.)
Is there any reason not to keep Alvin going along with its replacement? I'm sure some country or foundation is willing to run it. There's nothing top-secret in it, is there, considering that it is forty years old.
It is useful for a lot of research. Even though it is not as good as a new one, why not keep in it action?
The American system has a paucity of general practitioners because HMOS force everyone to specialize. The money is made in these specialties such as cardiology, neurology, dermatology, opthamology, etc. However, most people will not need the services of one of these specialists. We need someone to give us a checkup.
So while the British system will have patients waiting for a heart transplant or an exotic cancer treatment, the "humdrum" routine medicine will be very well taken care of.
Terrorists won't go through the trouble of making such a bomb to blow one American up. They'll just walk up and shoot ten people. I mean, imagine a madman with an AK-47 on a crowded bus; how many people can he take out (in the United States, not Israel, mind you) before he gets taken out?
So it's like the people worrying about missile defense while the real threat is in airplanes and dirty bombs and anthrax. Only we kill hi-tech; terrorists stick with what works.

They have already. Read the third bullet under "More Information". Sigh.

ENIAC was a roomful. My TI is stronger than that.
Statutory (presumptive) damages are quarter million dollars or something.
There is enough food to feed all the world. There hasn't been a consensus to feed them. War and politics prevent this (see Somalia).
The United States executes juveniles and the retarded. We detain Muslims. We invade countries then torture their populace.
Why is that insightful?
Have you had this problem with other brands? With so many failures, it could be your hardware (power supply, etc.)

So there.
Make the astronauts hot men and hot women. Make sure they are compatible on eharmony.com.
Yep. It'll be a fun ride over.

Uh, yeah we do. (Well, not you.) Vote these people out of office. Maybe it'll be more of the same with another President, but somehow, I doubt it.
