It's not necessarily a surprise to me. Email is a dying ap. It still requires an old client-server-server-client architecture which makes it just plain clunky compared to something like IM or VOIP. If I wasn't forced to use email for work I'd almost never open thunderbird.
Let me rephrase that. "multiple nukes worth on energy, released during the launch" in other words byebye Canaveral, and don't plant crops here for another thousand years.
There's a law of diminishing returns on rockets though. The fuel, engine, and structure of the rocket have to be lifted as well so that it is not always possible to lift a large payload. Just look at how ridiculously massive the Saturn V was to get the spacecraft equivalent of a rubber dingy into an orbit to swing by the moon. At those rates and the kind of orbital speeds implied by having each of those rods hit with nuclear-scale energy, I'm guessing the only proposed spacecraft engines capable of lifting them into orbit are the ones literally powered by dropping nuclear bombs out the rear end and riding the blast.
Being so far down the page just about no-one's going to read this, but I didn't see any technical branches up top.
Some of these weapons I'm pretty sure never made it out of concept because they were impossible. For example the "rods from the gods" kinetic energy weapon makes no sense as to put something in orbit with the potential kinetic energy to be a WMD it's going to take multiple nuke's worth of energy just to lift it to that orbit. Any chump at NASA, or who's graduated a real physics class could have told them that.
If it can be semi trivially accomplished something like this would make it easier for developers to develop for Linux. If they can verify it works on multiple systems with only minimal effort it might increase adoption for various aps.
That said copyright exists because it is granted by society. Fair use is part of the social contract by which it is granted. Actively preventing fair use was never possible before so I just don't think the law has caught up with the need to Nullify copyright for those who break that social contract.
Hence the difference in scale. When the LDS church does stuff like this it's amusing because we're pretty sure they won't win and that they don't actually mean anyone harm. The same is not usually said for Scientology.
There are a great many people out there who think the entire picture of a religion should be visible to the public. Thus when a faith tries to have hidden knowledge it appears as having one face to the public, and another face to the initiates. If the LDS church didn't have these practices Lighthouse and company wouldn't even exist.
It's pretty much the same reason by which people fight Scientology as well. There's simply a drastic difference in magnitude, with Scientology making much scarier threats, and having the vast portion of their entire religion be hidden knowledge.

DDR3 RAM Explained

· Score: 1
Actually the AM2+ chips don't support DDR3. However, the yet to be made AM3 chips which support DDR3 will also support DDR2 if you put them in an AM2+ or AM2 motherboard.
I'd just be happy if the manufacturers told me the panel technology in the specs so I could avoid 6-bit TN displays.
As it is, 10 bit displays are nothing new. Photographers have been swearing by them for years as they allow for the response curve of the display to be corrected without dipping below 256 displayable tones per channel. Of course the real solution is just to get someone to manufacture CRTs again. For this kind of market an analog display technology has a serious advantage in that there are no rounding errors.
On the other hand I could argue that trying to re-use solid rockets which should be pretty much disposable was a dumb idea in the first place and is pretty much the only reason Challenger ever happened. NASA seems to like to do strange things with the shuttle like use the tires only once per mission while re-using the casing for the potentially explosive solid rocket fuel.

The selection's better. Comcast just gives you a sliding window into the library, Netflix gives you all their Instant content on any given day.

I thought the original was scans from air reconnaissance film, not stitched digital. Or am I thinking of yet another giant picture project.

I think it has something to do with kernel multi-threading. Beyond that my head starts to hurt.

I used to think Galileo was a total waste of money. now Hallelujah I am a believer!
They already have done "some crap". You've heard of America's Army right?

I think they're trying to buy into the Internet. Only problem is they're buying into the Internet circa 1999 and they don't know it.

Only problem is we elect educated idiots now.

I'm sure it's happened. They call it "running aground".
Dear shills, shysters & despots, Please stop running for office and let some legitimate candidates get on the ballot. Thanks

Did we actually argue here? or did we just agree in a very hostile fashion?

But those are liquid fuel, are they not? Solid rockets are a whole different story, less complexity, more boom.

No, that's because of the new vxworks firmware.
