Well, I suppose in the days of one click patenting, super corporations and other evil corporate doings, this one will quietly slip through.
Then, in a while someone will come by and take away my domain name because they own a glass company, and feel I might be misdirecting their customers. Sun will sue for the rights to Slashdot.org, because their trademark (We put the dot in.com) uses the word 'dot' and so does Slashdot's web address. But no... evils like that would and could never happen. I am being too far fetched. Remember, the first things lawyers look for is a presidence. When a judge grants the Olympic organizers the rights to take away these domains, someone will come along in a year and demand other domains be given to them, and their lawyers will point out this case.
I think Kazakhstan is now its own country. Why does Russia launch its rockets / space stuff from another country? After they split years ago, I think Russia would build its own new launch facilities. I wonder what type of commission Kazakhstan gets for every launch.
They always need help. More often than not, there is some unknowing person in charge of lots of equipment. If you can deal with older legacy equipment, you should check it out. I served out 4 years volunteering... then I got involved in the politics, and gave up. Word of advice: Get everything in writing - "I am allowed to do this, and this, and this." It will save some trouble in the long run
Perhaps we will finally see some new major laws come out of this. There are 20 posts in every news article about how "the old laws do not conform to new technology." I am glad the Senate is going to listen in on this issue. The question about MP3s and Napster-like things can finally be resolved; Are they perfectly legal, or blatantly in violation of copyright laws? <p> For certain, whatever the outcome is, people will continue trading them. Still I applause the Senate for reviewing the material!<p>
Triginometry (I spell poorly) can be extremly precise. The basics have been around for 2500 years, and almost everything was known 2000 years ago. The chance of the sun not coming up tomorrow is larger than something in Trig to be disproven. It is used in almost everything today: building bridges and roads, locating distaces across the universe, to your computer monitor- even Quake used Trig in its rendering. You can get it as precise as you want, as long as you carry out the digits far enough.
I would assume that the closest satelite to Earth does the largest amounts of info gathering. Since you know the points of the other two, and their distance from the closest one, it can do all the work, and relay the data back to Nasa. Of course,there is not much data to be transmitted. I doubt there is much security, or header info.. just a bunch of error checking.
I have been working for (read:volunteer) my high school for the last 4 years, and about a year ago, I got a job with a computer company. I am mostly happy with it, except I do not get paid very well. Now that I have more 'real world' experience, I am writing a better resume and applying at a few other companies. As a quick job after highschool, take something you can get, because since you (probably) never had a real (ie full time) job before, most companies will not even hire you. Get one that will, stick around for a while, and move on when you think you are ready. I've been lucky with my current employer, but based upon the pay, (and on their taking all my favorite things away - web servers and email servers) I am turning into glorified text support. I live in Silicon valley.. time to move on! Best of luck, and keep your grades up!
Any idea if Intel is EVER going to change the name? I doubt it. "Pentium" is such a household name, and whenever it is mentioned, the average person recognizes it, and associates it with a fast computer. Intel has succeeded in making sure EVERYONE knows its product name..
For a first post! Heh, just kidding. I am surprised the Russians were able to get their act together. I thought they had basically dropped out of the program. It is good to see the space station is starting to be a little more "international" now. Of course, being years behind schedule is not good, but better late than never, right?
I guess that three long distance providers for the entire country must be enough to protect everyone against harmful tacticts by the Big Three. Maybe our friends in Washington (D.C. that is) don't care that when one company hikes their rates, the other two follow suite in order to get more money. Of course they put it off into "upgrades" and "maintence" that never seems to come. I can see a few telco routers going down and needing replaced.. of course the wages of employees, power bills, rent, etc.. but who really believes the companies couln't afford to make the upgrades on their own? Even with the above costs, the companies each make billions every year. I am glad the DOJ did something about it. It would be nicer if it turned around and demanded all three (ATT, Sprint, and Worldcom) to be split up into two companies. At least we could get gouged by the nicest of the 6!
Umm... no? The average human ear can only hear up to 16,000 hertz. At that level, the sounds are extremly faint. Even the best hearing is only at 20,000 hertz Two web sites about it: http://www.sfu.ca/sca/Manuals/ZAAPf/r/range.html http://www.ktsw.swt.edu/mc3309/hearing.html
Last weekn I started playing the great MUDs again. I love it! Do you remember when these games where the only things you could find? Check pout a good one over at Rom.org
Since Microsoft is supposedly the place of highest innovation, should we allow them to continue? Gives another dimention to their anti-trial sayings as above...
Oh my holy Jane! The cars are parked on the wrong side of the road! Never seen a picture of England before...Kinda weird seeing them parked like that.
Screw clicking through- I do something else

When I do see a banner ad that attracts my attention (maybe one out of the hundred thousand I see a month) then I make sure I stay away from clicking through the banner ad, and instead browse directly to the site. Kinda my way of fighting advertising..
I think everyone would be reduced to using AOL. Once IE dies, AOL decides to no longer release Netscape. Then everyone is forced to purchase AOL, the Information Dark Ages reappears, and AOL becomes an even larger sweltering company. But of course, no one has informed the DoJ of the AOL / Time Warner monopoly yet.
I think they do. It tends to make them look bad.. I can see their point of view: "WHo cares if it is a little unlevel. Its 'designed' that way. Thats a feature. If we wanted you to be able to mount any other heat sink and be able to overclock it until it burst into flames, then we would have built it that way. But we don't, so there!"
Only if you are going to boil your eyeballs by looking down through the cable. Did you know even small lasers boil the cells on the backs of your eyeballs? Imaging what the high powered lasers they are using could do.. Ouch!
Therefore, since fewer new developments are likely to come in the physical fiber technology, but lots are expected in the tx/rx side of things, is it possible to figure out which companies are more strongly poised to profit from this phenomenon? Any ideas?
I have a feeling the telcom giants (ATT, MCI, Sprint) and all their subsidaries (WorldCom, UUnet, and whatever Sprint named theirs) will make the most money. They will install the lines, in order to reduce their cost of transmitting data/phones across their backbones, and "in order to pay for the upgrades" they will raise ISP costs by 10 percent or so. Then they will never lower them again. Great.. here come higher dedicated access costs again...
They probably have multiple computers generating requests from the other side of the line. My computer cannot request 5 gigs of data a second, but 50 of em could.
But the page has got to go! There is no way I am going to listen to a company that uses a Microsoft Frontpage theme! Not only is it disgusting, but it is lame too. Get rid of it! I prefer black text on white background to that... And they think I am going to shell them out money, or my time?

that they sell the sourcecode to the Linux kernel in the bookstores? I saw that the other day, and was amazed.
