His rocket will not (and I think that it is not intended to). His launch vehicle will (and this is what he is good at after all).
The design is the only one so far to offer a clean separation strategy without the second stage being powered at time of separation. I would expect seeing a continuation of the White Knight genus very very soon (with a completely different second stage).
I think it was Maxtor who came out with an announcement saying that.08% (less than one percent) of their drives were failing, so a three-year warranty made no sense to them and would have no effect on the return rates (which is the only usable statistic - MTBF is almost meaningless given the huge numbers being tossed around.)
Marketing bull.
?They went to it because the forecasted failure rate on Diamond Max 8 was so high that there was no way on earth it would have lasted 3 years on average. I wish I would have known this at the time and not now - 30+ drive failures later.
Not that there was a choice at the time, as Seagate was running in their new Chinese assembly lines and shipping barracudas which lasted 100 days on average.
Looking at the sever signature I there are about 7-10 missed redhat advisories and patches here. I would not say that it is hacker bait, but it is pretty damn close (or further marketing disguise, who knows).
Dunno about neigbour's raptor mods. If I lived in the US I would have started thinking of this:

Make a nice garden feature. And works a treat on rraptor mods.
What is the bloody effing point? All the technology is already in the CMTS and BRAS systems. All it takes is to know how to configure it (yeah I know, difficult and painfull process for a cable company). In fact it is being used - Freeserve, which holds 25% of the UK dial and DSL market used to transparently proxy all outgoing mail traffic to their mailserver and spamcheck it on ingress. Similarly there are other ISPs out there who hijack outgoing mail and make it go through their servers. This is trivial.
BSD since 4.x is ELF as well (it gave up on a.out around 3.x). So the claim is valid against all BSDs and even more interesting recent Cisco IOS. Even more interesting, the SCO comment from last year that HP does not infringe comes to mind. HPUX uses ECOFF. It is the last and only commercial Unix not to use ELF.
Cisco IOS post 11.2 is ELF. So is nearly every format out there except HPUX. This includes BSDs, embedded systems, so on so fourth.
So they have just got themselves into the aiming calculations of the entire computer industry including the other big Blue, not just IBM.
Anyway, do not see a problem even if they win this one. While I want to puke just at the thought of ECOFF, it is if IIRC (C) intel and HP and all it will take to get linux to use them will be one big rebuild and a rewrite of libdl. That is if Intel and HP do not decide to put the dl for ECOFF into the public domain.
In, btw, this is something on which Cisco can buy them just to shut them up (if everyone agrees to go home and stop the lawsuits).
The links from there make an even more interesting read. Especially this quote from a BF interview:
Bobby Fischer: But it was in violation, apparently, of an order, an executive order which President Bush had signed, uh, I think in around May of 1992, that forbid Americans to, uh, do business with Yugoslavia, unless, of course, they had permission or an exception from the government, which I didn't get. Everybody got it. CNN gets it, all these Jew controlled outfits get it, and you know, you know how many people were involved in that match, nobody was indicted? Spassky wasn't indicted, he played. The [...] government didn't indict him. And I'll tell you something else about Spassky. He played in that match, nobody indicted him. That guy has been to the U.S. at least a few times since the match. He can go to the U.S. Nobody touches him. He played in the match just like me. The U.S. government doesn't give a damn about arresting him. They only want to arrest me. Eugene was over there. He made a nice pretty penny there. The Philippine government doesn't wanna put him in jail. There were a lot of people involved in that match. Nobody wants to put anybody in jail but me. They wanna put me in jail cause the Jews are behind all this. They're behind everything. They're orchestrating everything, this, uh, indictment, this movie, the forged Batsford edition of My 60 Memorable Games, this fake forged book, called umm uh, I mean CD-Rom called Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess. Now they're behind this mega-robbery of all my stuff at the Pasadena storage house, the robbery and auctioning off of all this stuff. You know, they grabbed this stuff on the cheapest, meanest trick. The most transparent ploy you can imagine. This fuckin Elsworth, deliberately, they used a secret Jew I'm sure...deliberately, behind my back, just stopped paying for six months. I sent him the check. You saw the check, Pablo.
While the interpretation is rabid paranoia, the facts are definite. CNN made billions in advertisement time warmongering in ex-Yugoslavia. We used to stage bets where the next shootout will be based on where their crew went. Spasski was never indighted for the embargo. Noone dealing with any chess material from the games was indighted either
This definitely makes an interesting read. In btw, people should not take chess champion statements seriously. It is not just Bobby, there were quite a few other not quite balanced people to hold the crown as well. Karpov, Spassky, etc they all were a bit wierd from an average commoner's point of view.
Not just Dickens. 99% of what we consider to be 19th century classics were serialized in newspapers. All novels published by Balsacue, Dumas (son and pa), Jules Verne, Carl May, etc were newspaper serializations. Some of the characters (Grimo in the Three Musketeers) were brought in only to fill space as newspapers were paying per line. So there is nothing wrong in serialization and commercialization.
There is definitely something wrong as far as commercialization is concerned. There is definitely someting wrong in dumbing everything down and making everything at the intellectual level of a marvel comic though...
Not very hard. After all there will be multipple course corrections over the length of the mission. So it is likely to be as hard as it was for the Hidalgo to hit one of the Wind Mills. With similar results.
All I can say is hats down and apploads to the cynicist who thought of the name for this program. It is a near perfect description of our current technological ability to change the orbit of a NEO.
They've even been able to swing an election in a Western European nation, and have won over most of that continent to agreeing with their major policy positions.
Nope they have not. That is what Bush and company want you to believe while the truth is quite different. The election was swung by the fact that Aznar and his cronies tried to deliberately mislead the nation that it was the basques who blew up the trains. If he did not lie he could have won it - ask any Spanish person.
So do not mistaken selfinflicted damage caused by a Blairesque spinmeistering for an Al Qaeda achievement.
Money is not enough. You have to have knowledge and intelligence. These do not mix well with religious fundamentalism.
It is true that the general computer usability has been brought to the level of intelligence of an average religious fanatic. It is also true that the encryption and computer security are not there yet.
While on the subject an average MSc or Phd would not have needed the library in first place. After all synthesis, purification and properties of TNT, hexogen and cellulose nitrates are a part of the standard university level organic chemistry curriculum. Same as the properties of phosporoorganic compounds (zarin, tabun, and friends) which are part of any toxicochemistry course, so on so fourth.

Sad, ignorant troll. It has been written long ago:
http://bofh.ntk.net/XFiles.html
Everything else will be just a sad imitation...
P.S. It is the same guy who writes the BOFH stories. Just these are much better: http://bofh.ntk.net/OtherStuff.html
This is a flamebait, I am not a frankofile, just the opposite, but I am in the mood to take it. So, let's see...
If it was so, it would have been the Americans shooting in their back as they used them as cannon fodder in Gulf War 1 and as cannon fodder in World War 2.
If you have any objections to the above statement I suggest you check who led the ground attack (and took some of the very few casualties from direct engagement) during the Gulf War 1 ground offensive as well as who led the assault on Sienna in WWII. The latter is possibly the bloodiest battle to be fought with US participation in Europe (in both cases the Americans went in after the French cleared the way for them).
So are you saying that it is an American habit to shoot their allies in the back?
You are misunderstanding the meaning of the blacklist. It is not a blacklist on access. It is a blacklist on e-commerce. 95% of all web stores and mail order shops in EC and US refuse to ship to these countries.
They do not do it out of malice. They do it because they were at one point refused insurance on their card transactions for purchases from these countries. This was done because these countries at the time did not have a banking clearance system which could be used for VISA transactions. In fact most banks were not even members of SWIFT so clearing money was taking 24+ days to travel through a correspondent bank somewhere else in the world after getting government permission for the transfer. So overall the blacklist was fully justified at the time.
While the some countries now have SWIFT and VISA and are OK to ship (Bulgaria), many web stores are yet to amend their policies. Considering the marginal amount of purchases from the countries in question I would say that it is nothing to shout about. Move along.
Tciolkovski was before him. His designs date from the turn of the century while Goddard's designs are from 30-es. In the 30-es Tciolkovski and his students including Korolev already had a number successful launches. IIRC their first launch is as early as 20-es.
How many Europeans understand that it is illegal for any United States president to give any judicial power outside of the United States authority over the Supreme Court of the United States?
It is time to grow up and stop being toddlers in a tantrum. It is a cornerstone of the judicial system in all 140+ other world countries that the international obligations taken by the country supersede any local laws period. In fact US was one pushing it most during the cold war and the Soviet block was the one opposing it the most. Which considering the current situation is an interesting food for thought.
How many Europeans understand just how heavily we subsidize not only them, but the middle east, and the third world?
You do not subsidize me mate. I subsidize you by agreeing that the dickhead in power in my country sends some cannon fodder to fight your wars and writes off the 10 billion or so debt Itaq owes us just for the honour of licking a constipated arse. So as far as I am concerned we have subsidized your Iraq affair with around 10 billion and have gotten from you around 50 million for the last year. Sorry pal, numbers do not add up.
How about the fact that Americans spend more time watching news then any other major country?
I have lived in the US. Are you sure? Do you count the ad times in and are we talking about news or yet another product placement?
We have more college graduates (not per capita mind you) then any other nation, and we pull more hours a week then any other nation?
And you still have lower workspace productivity then Spain or France (which has 32h week). And you put in less hours then the UK for that matter which has even lower productivity. Just food for though...
How many Europeans would ever push for a immegration system that is as liberal as the United States?
US system is anything but liberal. US is the only country in the G8 to not offer automatic work entitlement to the husband/wife if the spouse has a work permit. In the G8 US has the second longest wait period for naturalization after France. US is the only G8 country to have a form of a long term work permit that does not allow for naturalisation. US is the only country in the G8 not to allow change of visa status without leaving the country. So on so fourth, been there, seen it, ad naseum.
Its fairly obvious that this article was posted during american daylight hours.
First on subject:
The Prius as any hybrid will deliver high MPG only in a start/stop environment where it can effectively use regenerative braking and it does not have to drive for a long time based only on its petrol engine. If you drive it as Petrol (highway) you have to pay for the fact that you are carrying all those batteries and the electric engine. To summarize, the Prius is not a US car. It is not good in a traffic jam as it will have silly pollution levels and silly consumption because the engine will be always cold. It is not good on a highway. It is a car which will be good for some parts of the UK (roundabout - 1mile at 50mph - roundabout - 1mile at 50mph - ad naseum). It may also be OK for some other EU countries. US, Japan - nope.
Second on the numbers:
Americans really need to kick their car manufacturers and petrol resellers in gear. I understand that some of the sillies are caused by the petrol being 87 and 92 octane, but still, my wife's car which is a 10 years old Renault delivers 42+ MPG while kicking 0-60 in under 11s and mine which is a fairly new Daihatsu delivers 55+ with 0-60 around 8.5s. So the numbers which are quoted around this thread (22-32) seem outright silly to me and any other European for that matter.
burglar alarm systems, for homes and businesses (requires some hardware)
Not really, most sensors are trivial to interface. Same for card readers, etc.
Been there done that.
Still, you are right on target - there is nothing to interface them to in terms of software. There are no libraries, no frameworks, nothing. Same for CCTV and surveylance systems (I ended up writing my own for some of the stuff I had to do last year).
If it is using 3D accel (and I bet a case of Stoli that it is) it may be less CPU intensive then the GnoCPUhog and KCPUHog.
Simply, over the last 4 years 2d and font oriented accel has disappeared from the video cards (check features for CLGD and ATI 128 versus radeon and nvidia - fonts are out, 3d is in). This means that some nifty 3D tricks may have become less CPU intensive then simple 2D animation.
This has been the standard practice in the 5th world (for example Bulgaria) for more then 7 years now. In 1997 we used to block 135-137 and block 25 to anywhere else, but the official relays. We were not the only one. It was the industry practice. AFAIK it still is.
It is very nice to see the big 10 grow up to the 1997 technical standard of the 5th world and make a big deal about it.
All I can do is have a belly laugh. WAHAHAHAHAHA...
