The space program could have a good return on the Chinese living standard. This pumps government money in the economy, accelerates progress and gives the citizens a 'pride'.
The space program is not a lot of money in comparison of the government budget. It wouldn't improve life of the citizens much anyway.
And the USA is doing the same financing a very expensive war with a very bad budget and huge dept. Read my sig to understand the effect of the national debt.
Yep because this plane was the last of its type and they stopped the production (there were only 13 of them). That means it became very expensive just to maintain it because spare parts were not available.
And by the way the plane was profitable, it's only after the crash that they figured out the modifications would be too expensive.
One is a super-cruiser that would fly just shy of the speed of sound.
Like all the commercial planes around. Last time I took the plane we were flying at 0.95 Mach.
I haven't heard much about but IIRC it was a cheaper variant of the 767 that could haul more people.
It will never haul as many people as the A380. It will never have shops, real beds or things like that.
Do you really think anyone is going to pay $10,000 for a NYC to LA ticket in three hours on any regular basis? Absolutely. Ask people around you, those who have the money already pay up to 10 times the price just to be in business class and just to have a few inches more.
NY - LA in 2 hours for 10000$? You'd better order a dozen Concorde, they will always be full. By the way Concorde Paris - NY was always full and the companies were actually refusing customers.
In addition your ignoring the obvious fact that Concorde was one of the biggest sources of pollution ever produced by humanity.
On the same link you'll see that Boeing's revenue went down by 4 billions Dollars in one year. 2003 Airbus market share on commercial planes was 50%, more than Boeing for the first time and is still steadily increasing.
Most Boeing revenues come from military spending (they were really happy with the war because it meant more funding).
Boeing has no plane to compete the A380 that will be flying by the end of this year. And it seems nothing has been done to build one.
And yes this decision killed Concorde because Concorde was not designed for intercontinental flights and the biggest 'non intercontinental planes' market is the US, by far. Concorde would have been a huge success in the US. Without, it was a failure.
What is amazing too is your government decided not to allow supersonic travel over your soil but was still funding Boeing for the developing of a supersonic (counter-Concorde) plane.
We are tired of seeing our high-paying jobs outsourced overseas and watching your Government subsidized businesses (*cough* Airbus *cough*) compete with ours.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. Boeing has never being subsidized by the US government. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
And it's also better for the countries with a social security system.
At least Iknow that in France the government gives you money (not all the money you need but still) when you buy new eye-correction glasses, both for the glasses and the visit to the doctor to get a prescription.
It's very expensive for the government and this device could help lower the bill so the spending could be used somewhere else.
Very good stuff and interesting possibilities here.
Don't mess with Microsoft, they have the money and the power to track you down, even on Internet and through P2P networks. And they will, this is just an example and a warning.
I will never download the source code and you should better not try too. Anyway what's the point in seeing/having it?
I think people don't really understand what having windows 2000 SP1 source code spreading on internet really means. That's quite important and even if it's only part of the source code it's already enough for the first exploits to appear.
The author was kind enough to tell us about the first one, but I bet many others did find bugs and didn't report them because they are working on viruses and attacks using them.
Let's see what happens in the coming months. I'm already working on the switch from Windows 2003 Server to Linux in my company for this exact reason.
This is like Jamiroquai using the Ferrari logo on one of its album. It's not in the same field (Jamiroquai doesn't sell cars, does he?) but he lost the trial.
This is all about using the image of Mandrake the Magician to sell a product without grant from the real owner of Mandrake the magician.
This war was fought to prevent other countries from doing the same. Like Venezuela who felt under a coup (a US funded coup) just after trying to exchange oil with services instead of dollars.
The thing is that if OPEC starts to accept Euros for oil purchases the US will economically collapse because of its huge debt (way worse than Argentina when it did collapse).
Write a virus that scans for open 3127 TCP Ports, get into the machine and remove MyDoom from it.
This virus counter-virus wouldn't cause the same problem than the SoBig counter-virus (can't remember the name, sorry) because this time it would spot only actual infected computers instead of every computer with an open RPC port.

Yes but as soon as it was over everything vanished totally.
Nobody can go to the moon now and we really have to 'reinvent the wheel' to go back there.
In the future the orbital modules could also be left behind on a Chinese space station as additional station modules.
This part is really interesting. It means that a Chinese space station could grow up very fast and for very cheaply.
Do you have any more information on this?

Of course, but can you do something on such a wide range ?

Wrong, it's the US.

Face it, Boeing is dying.
The US government tried to stop Airbus by changing some laws to prevent Airbus planes from flying over the country.
But it didn't work and some companies started to buy Airbus planes because they were simply better.
Your government succeded killing Concorde, but it didn't with Airbus.
And by the way, Airbus build military planes too.
You are talking about pissing the WHOLE World for only 200 people (according to FBI).
We are tired of seeing our high-paying jobs outsourced overseas and watching your Government subsidized businesses (*cough* Airbus *cough*) compete with ours.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. Boeing has never being subsidized by the US government. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
You are mistaken, your government won't pay that with taxpayers's money.
It will do as usual, print new dollar bills, thus increasing the debt, so when the world decide to switch to another currency as reserve, it will be even worse for these taxpayers.
This huge national debt comes at a price.
We did the same with DNF but 3D Realms never did something like that.
;)
That's maybe why lots of people here still think DNF is not vaporware
And it's also better for the countries with a social security system.

Offtopic, dude.

Nothing crazy here.
That's a point, but that's not the real reason.
Iraq decided back in November 2000 to start selling oil in Euros instead of Dollars, and the bad side for America is that it did succeed.
This war was fought to prevent other countries from doing the same. Like Venezuela who felt under a coup (a US funded coup) just after trying to exchange oil with services instead of dollars.
The thing is that if OPEC starts to accept Euros for oil purchases the US will economically collapse because of its huge debt (way worse than Argentina when it did collapse).
Full explanation and documents to prove this point of view.
This has never been discussed in any major US media. Weird.
Be kind and please give us the list of the 19 others.
3$ for each email to the whole list. You have never ran a miling list, have you?
I you had you would know that 3$ for each email on the mailing list is just inacceptable given the number of posting on an active mailing list.
And did you think about the implementation of such a thing?
It would require the creation of a brand new emailing system and the switch of everybody in the world from the SMTP/POP scheme to the new system.
Not gonna happen but just imagine if you do that, why not think of something free like an authentication system?
If we have to rebuild the entire email infrastructure let's build something free, it's very possible.
I have a mailing list with 30000 people. Do I have to pay 0.01 cents an email ?

I'll try to show you that Fox News and the others lied and continues to lie.
