The test to "prove" paternal or sibling relations fails as much as one in thousand due to "chimera" effects. DNA "leaks" mother and child, between siblings. Soem sperm mitchondria survive, etc.
The most famous case the last Russian czar's that looke like the children had multiple mothers due to chimera mitchondria.
Holy mountains and evil mountains. Tibetans and Hepalese didnt climb Himalayas until Europen toruists came, even though they much more phsyically fit than Europeans to do this.
The annual SIGGRAPH meeting is in 24 days August 11-15 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Its the premiere event for seeing how entertainment graphics is done (great parties too). It can be attended very economically too: day passes are in the $50 range. One day-pass lets you see most of the technical exhibit and a different the film animation. The $800 pass is for attending the technical papers and courses (buy the proceedings) which good if you have all week and a generous boss. I'm flying in one morning, attending two days, leaving the following evening. There is light rail direct from LAX to the conventions center (slow). To me its like a science-fiction convention turned live- with all the futuristic computer graphics hardware and software (and great parties too).
In fairly new technology a fairly good rule I observe is to always doubel managements estimated time. Therefore the first manned Orion to ISS will be 2018 (assuming ISS is still functional then).
I thought the cracker for Ticketmaster just forwarded the unsolvable piece to cheap labor in China. You could do this for math problems too.
is there one at the Santa Clara Computer Museum?

I think I saw one there, but that was two years ago. At the time the Googleplex had just taken over the other half of the old SGI building and threatened to devour the rest of the SGI campus.
When the two Steves showed off their Apple-1 at the SLAC Homebrew Club in the 1976 they has it in a wooden case, I recall seeing.
With one MEGABYTE of ferris-core memory. Five redundant computers.
The shuttle prgram was late getting started and they didnt want to changes the software.
"And they made fun of vacuum tube computers in MIGs."
You have drill a 3 mile hole to get it down into the fault. And take 20 years to convince the NSF to fund it and California regulators to permit it (what the SAFOD project took).
Windy areas are generally not close to cities. Plus its difficult to store surplus power generated off hours. As the hydrogen economy evolves, maybe we could hyrolize water during off-hours.
He was born on the same day as Abraham Lincoln - Feb 12th 2009. Newsweek compares the two men, giving a slightly great edge to Abraham in terms of historical importance. Hopefully the 2009 celebrations will clear up some of the fundie BS about Charles.
Several scienc fiction writers have written science fiction novels about near-immortality. The more difficult situation may be a small group of immortals co-existing with mostly mortals such in Ann Rice's novels. They may become "unrooted in time" and suffer psychological problems.
Rather than dwell on the difficulties of change. And you will find the opportunities. It is distressing to experience major upheaval. But I also find it invigorating because of the new opportunites presented.
Having lived before there was a shuttle I've observed how the image of a space-plane replaced that of a rocket-ship in space prowess. I recall a James Bond movie first using a shuttle-like space plane (2001 had non-shuttle space planes). Then there came movies like Species-2 sending the shuttle to Mars or Deep Impact send it to asteroids, even though it was never designed for this.
The Orion replacement is so "retro" going back to rocket ships. I wonder how long that will take to replace the shuttle icon.
Real human conversation contains lots of emotional cues such as intonation, facial expression, and guestures. Text loses most of this, save for CAPS, obscenities and emoticons. The result is people will say things in text messages they'd NEVER say face to face (unless extremely chemically uninhibited). Avatars are a way to restore this, if done properly.

It runs on literally "nothing": the captured energy of vacuum energy. Much cheaper than gasoline.
Plus cloud platforms/OS have become more usuable and buyable from various vendors - Amazon, IBm, Google, Sun ...

Can put all of Windows CE or a real Java SDK in that. No more working with crippled OSes.
Then it's share would really go up.
Its when you are doing something fairly new, its unpredicatable.

Yes, we knew science was sport. A violent one at times.
SpaceShip Three can ferry high-paying tourists to and from the ISS.

The intent was malicious and the financial loss in the felony range. Definately not creative hacking.

He graduated from MIT too!

A totally artificial human from the pieces I steal from Gene Wiki. It will be able to tap dance and sing too.

I reread Have Spacesuit and recognized the irony. The book must have been rattling around my subconsious as a teenager.
