Don't forget - we have several multi-billion dollar space shuttles, that cost well over a hundred million per mission. Over time a 'mega-billion dollar' laser would pay for itself.
The question is how much would the lift vehicles and ablative materials cost. I think a single stage to orbit solution using less exotic technologies like ram/scramjets and rockets would be more intelligent for now.
High impulse also means low thrust. It is great for continuous thrust, like for space probes and such that have time to spend thrusting to gain speed. In the long run, it's vastly more efficient. But when you need to haul ass from the ground to orbit, that type of engine is going to be totally useless. Gravity is much stronger than the thrust of VASMIR. This new doodad seems to be aimed at launch vehicles, not long distance space travel.
I can't think of any reason at all that unions are needed anymore. They had their place in the past, but that time is now over. All unions are there for these days is to make sure they get a percentage of your pay to line their pockets.
How many people do you think are that concerned about your medical problems? The fact of the matter is, even IF someone reads your letters to your doctor, what difference does that make?
Anyhow, if sufficiently random passwords are used, I doubt there is much chance of someone cracking it and reading about your questions on someone's genital herpes... So in asnwer to your question, this "slashdotter" thinks username/password is more than sufficient.
as far as i know, china does not recognize any form for patent/copyright/intellectual property/etc.., so its not a violation of anything, as far as china is concerned.
Is it just me, or does anyone else not care about a single thing that ESR says, does, or thinks? Why does his every meandering thought, stupid opinion, or random fart qualify as any sort of news?
I really don't mean this as a flame. I would really like someone to explain to me why we should care about what he says.
GTE/BBN uses dense wave division multiplexing in their new GNI (Global Network Infrastructure). They got some nice OC192(10gbit) running all over (17,000 miles worth) and is already operational in several major markets. Lucent may be the first to use it wireless, but not the first to ever use it.
It is when people "advocate" linux in this way that I am embarassed to say I use and love linux. They bring a bad name to an otherwise great product. OS "wars" have never lead to anything productive other than making the attacking side look remarkably childish and ignorant.
ol' leo did in fact visit skywalker ranch, but only to view a screener of episode 1. this rumor started with a uk tabloid. since when did slashdot start printing tabloid news? maybe next we will be reading about how a 3 headed cow progammed the most advanced ai, which ended up commiting suicide after learning it was created by a 3 headed cow.

Re:Wasn't SMP support already suggested for Q3?

Quake3 to go SMP

· Score: 1
he tried it with q2, not q3, and the method used was different. he tried to dedicate one cpu to game and one to rendering and the bottleneck became sending information between the processors (if i remember right).
I can't believe this made it onto slashdot. No internet feeds have been cut, and i doubt any will be. Looks like the serbian propoganda machine scored some free links and i would assume thousands of hits to their website.
Matrix is a telesync rip, and pre-release one at that. Not many people may have noticed, but one of the scenes (the one in the night club near the beginning) is missing the rob zombie music track. It's funny seeing a night club with people dancing, lights flashing, and no zombie playing =)
If a network admin tripped over a stray CAT-5 cable, and no one was around to hear it, would he still make noise as he spills his mt. dew on the server and drops his pizza?

that 99% of tech workers and programmers are utter idiots. The last thing I would say about managing tech workers is that I "manage Einsteins"
I'm sure the true Einsteins of the tech world know this is fact also.
it wasn't April Fool's Day =(

Isn't the speed of light through the copper in cabling a fair bit below c?
There is a Palm app called "afterburner" that is used to overclock palm based pda's.
