133 miles was the maximum range of the standard 3 missile. China has 350 mile range. Russia & India R also more capable. More notable than the fact that they hit is was the consequences if they missed. Usually they just outsource it instead of taking risks like that.
Definitely 2 parallel universes here: the assembly language culture of making things talk to hardware & the Web 2.0 culture of slapping together Java.
Have found assembly language more useful than it was 7 years ago because of the rising usefulness of robotics & the need to interface the physical world. Most of the jobs of course, don't deal with the physical world & aren't that useful either.
Not many voters took this moon program seriously and no-one wants to fund it further.

The only thing these air traffic upgrades have done is make flying even more uncomfortable. They're deliberately vague on exactly what algorithm the AI would use and what "purpose of air traffic" it's supposed to control, because it's all about finding the least amount of oxygen humans need to survive, the coldest food which is still edible, how many sardines can fit in a steel tube, & how long humans can hold their bladder.
Wonder why they didn't just build a new machine to make a 3D image of the magnetic flux on the wire using hall effect sensors. Then they could have converted the flux image to sounds in pure software or just archived the image.
Eventually we'll be down to 1 thing which hasn't been blamed for destroying the environment: too many humans. Then the media will shift focus to Michael Jackson tabloids.
Ever since the suits discovered Linux, the question has been both ways. Can Linux do anything that doesn't involve cloning a corporate bloat piece? Can there be any other application besides Web 2.0? Can anyone still write software without going through a committee?
Funny reading about electric cars 25 years after the first stories came out, and finding lack of mass produced batteries still being the #1 reason for not having them.
If there was more useful content besides 8mm quality home videos & 10,000 copies of the same information reprinted over and over there might be more incentive for consumers to pay up. But since there is no incentive, guess that would make it a government mandate.
Can hardly agree with the idea that Linux hasn't become bloated. Corporate love and CEO worship is programmed into all of us, whether or not we're paid to do it. Linux peaked in 1997. Since then, it's become more and more about cloning Windows and earning the love from your favorite executive idol.
All the algorithms, mechanical engineering, electronics, and software was frosting. What really made it happen was the 802.15.1 standard. It would never have worked if it was 802.11 or 802.15.4.
Well, no-one on the BluRay team ever took HD-DVD seriously. There was no media coverage of what they were doing while all the attention was on the BD team's work with the JVM, the drives, the home networking, the fact that they were porting OCAP to a physical medium. Now there's no money for HD-DVD either.
As for as the VSE, it's time to put it in the closet. The voters don't want it. No-one took it seriously. No-one but China can afford it. All roads lead to renewed basic science, low Earth orbit for humans, & a return to Sean O'Keiff style missions. Smaller, cheaper, full evaluation of all the options before committing money.
Griffin was like John McCain. Act first, then talk. My way or the highway. Maybe he'd be better off running China's moon program.
Can Scaled Composites ever achieve this now that they've lost lives & been cited for neglecting safety? If they don't train their fabricators, do they train their pilots? It's been 4 years since their last flight. Their website hasn't been updated in 2 years. They better be releasing computer renderings, because that's as close as they're going to get.
Job hopping is the way it's done. Have worked for managers under 25. 2 managers on the Sony Blu-Ray player were under 25 and look who won the format war. The key is job hopping, don't do anything more substantial than your day job, including open source.
Don't bother if you're over 30. Too much experience is a liability. Executives don't like to be around people more experienced than them or who have taken on bigger projects than theirs in open source.
Management is recession proof. The current generation wasn't around for the last round of outsourcing so the media isn't covering it, but it'll be back.

They could just photograph your toe and insert that in the JPEG header. What about photographing a 32 bit number and putting that in the JPEG header?
With NASA set to lay off millions of space shuttle workers, who wouldn't give secrets to China?

Wish there was some useful information in this article, like photographs of the recording media & player.

Funny how Americans invest all their resources in the ultimate mortgage while Europeans invest all their money in the ultimate airliner.
Just want to put that out there.

Venture capitalists aren't very creative.

U could always build one out of the right bulb & an aluminum reflector, but most people would rather spend the $300.
Still waiting for the $1/watt solar panels from last week. Would even take the silicon nanotube batteries from the week before.

At over $60 for expanded basic, the web definitely replaced TV.
