Looks like this baby has enough force that you could kill one of
these 230 mph torpedoes that the Russians have been working on. I don't think that regular anti-missle countermeasures have enough force to destroy targets that are deep underwater. The splash from this thing might cause your boat to tip a little.
Hehe.. This thing is so powerful that it might even make a good anti-satellite weapon!
Don't these guys know that we are the reproductive system of the earth? I'm SERIOUS here, think about it! We are how the whole earth's eco system gets transported to other planets. Why did we evolve to where we are today anyway? You think Humans showing up on the earth was some kind of horrible evolutionary accident? NO.. It just part of the natural process of planets developing intelligent life forms and then those lifeforms reproducing the planet's eco-system on other worlds. We are like the seeds of the earth flower getting blown out into outer space via space ships with the DNA and specimens of earth life forms. If we Terraform mars we will see the first real example of a planet re-producing itself!
BTW, if you really want to fight back against the music companies find other ways to find music to listen to. Ask the DJ at your favorite club what he's playing. Listen to Internet Radio, etc. If you like rock, go see local bands. Don't watch MTV, don't listen to music radio!
Very little of what record companies do these days involves recording. Recording the actual music is just a technical detail. What they really spend all their money and effort on is finding bands to market and paying for and crafting marketing campaigns.
That's why they are so mad at you when you copy their music. They made a multi-million dollar investment in telling you from every radio, station, every store isle, every billboard what music to listen to and now you're taking their advice and not paying them for it in the form of record sales.
Note this this is just an "alternative" under consideration. It was proposed by Argentina, and Switzerland proposed language that "roughly corresponds" to it. I don't know whether the U.S. has taken a position on this, but I assume the U.S. is still in favor of computers being legal.
Argentina doesn't really have a significant media industry with the exception of exporting some telenovelas. How did they get into the middle of
setting intellectual property and technology standards? Maybe it's the less than democratic governments in the developing world that are equal members of WIPO that put all this weird stuff in here. I'm talking about the same countries who put Cuba, Zimbabwe and Sudan on the U.N human rights commission.
Come on everybody, it's time to stop making excuses.
There are only 3 toolkits that matter now.
GTK (Gnome, Mozilla, Open Office) QT (KDE,etc) Java (Swing and SWT)
If all these three toolkits agreed on common mime types and cut/paste UI I think the whole problem would be solved because they together make up 90% of the app usage on the Linux desktop.
The next problem however is to make a network transparent embedded object cut and paste and this is going to require a distributed object protocol like CORBA. Unfortunately CORBA is a beast.
Around the turn of the century there were fantastic advances in our understanding of physics, which led to us mastering electricity and atomic physics.
Ask any person over the age of 90 what the greatest invention of their lifetime was and they will almost certainly say something that was made made possible by electricity, or our understanding ofatomic physics.
In the late 19th century we developed the internal combustion engine. We developed airplanes at the beginning of the century. In the 1930s we developed chemical rockets. Since then what have we developed as far as propulsion or transportation technologies go?
Not much. It's easy to imagine how much optimism there was after these initial advancements. Lately basic physics has branched out into such technologically unproductive pursuits as String theory. They are interesting to mathematicians but the technological fruits aren't there. In my opinion we have entered a technological slump that may last for quite a while.
Let's put the cliche conspiracy theories aside and actually see what kinds of people are REALLY interested in the price of oil remaining high, and would not flinch at using violence to achieve their aims: MR. RICHARD: Let me begin by saying that a few weeks after President Vladimir Putin's telephone call offering condolences and support to a troubled George Bush on 9/11, I was part of en e-mail exchange that focused on a 1998 comment from Osama bin Laden, in which Mr. bin Laden stated that if he were in control of the Arabian Peninsula, oil would trade at $144 a barrel.
You know that oil consumption in China since 1990 has more than doubled Source. India's is growing rapidly too Source. I think it's time we realized that the rapid economic development of 2 countries containing a mere 2 billion+ people has something to do with rising oil prices in the U.S and the increase in Greenhouse gas emmissions. Guess what! The Indian government doesn't care to much about what the European/U.S centric green movement says and the Chinese care even less. That's why they demanded to be exempt from the provisions of the Kyoto treaty.
They forgot to mention, IMHO, the best energy ever, that being Diet Rockstar.
Check out the review all the goodness of Rockstar without the sugar and WITHOUT NUTRASWEET! I usually get a headache and an aftertaste after I consume a lot of Nutrasweet but Diet Rockstar leaves me just fine.
Yet another example of micropolitics in action. That is taking every conceivable act one does, breathing, eating, talking about the weather, being a Linux User Group member, walking or not walking on the cracks on the sidewalk and adjusting one's behaviour based on some pedantic notion that one's choices in these minor manners is having some kind of political impact.
It's kind of an obsessive compulsive form of political activism and the net effect is to annoy the crap out of everyone and make one's political beliefs look silly.
So I went over to Keelynet, which is probably the best source on the net for discussion and news about overunity and other weird science, including how to build your own and the physics behind them.
I found
This post which goes deeper into the discussion of the physics behind this machine which is WAY over my head. Can any of you slashdot electrical engineering gurus make sense out of it?
Tesla was so intelligent that a lot of people at the time thought he was from outer space. Imagine that, being so smart that people think you're a space alien.
'The idea of terraforming Mars is extreme, but it is not cranky - that is the truly horrible thing about it,' said Paul Murdin, of the Institute of Astronomy, Cambridge. 'If it was just a silly science-fiction notion, you could laugh it off. But the idea is terribly real. That is why it is dreadful. We are mucking up this world at an incredible pace at the same time that we are talking about screwing up another planet.'
This is the kind of human hating enviromentalism that is turning into something really dreadful. These people can't find any human endeavor that is beyond criticism, whether it be medicine or science or space exploration. To them, there is a horrible fault in anything that humans do to improve their existence. All values have some hidden flaw. The only thing above reproach is self hatred and the non-human. It's really a form of nihilism. These are the people who say things like "world population estimate were higher but thanks to AIDS it looks like they are going to be lower than exepected."
Sure money is based on faith. The current montetary system in the United States has been based on faith alone (and the need to pay tax liabilities in Dollars) since the government stopped guaranteeing the ability to swap gold for dollars in 1972. It's amazing we've been able to make it this far without a total breakdown.
Inflation, when it expreses itself as government debt, is mostly excessive regressive taxation. When it expresses itself as lowered interest rates, it's the transfer of wealth to asset owners, which can be anybody from the very wealthy to a college kid who just finished reading the Carleton Sheets course and is flipping houses no-money-down.
I find Marxism amusing because it is even more broken than what we have now. Promoting Marxism in the developing world was good for the financial interests of this country. You had most of the world's population locked in underconsuming protectionist economies that left all the natural resources for us to use and guaranteed us a huge industrial head start. That's the choices they want to give you, you can either have the current system or a far more broken one (Marxism).
I don't think labor conditions for Indian software engineers are that bad. They just pay 1/10 the price for food, housing, etc. because they are still in a REAL economy. If you have even a little bit of money in a developing country you can live very well. Trust me, I've travelled quite a bit and this is the case. I once talked to a busboy in Mexico whose dream was to make $5/an hour working in a restaurant in America. What he didn't realize that his rent would be far more than the $50/month he was paying.
I'm not saying what we have now is good! There are very good non-marxists critiques of our current capitalist system. They are ignored though because they are the ones that are actually a threat to people who are benefitting from the current system. One I strongly recommend that will show you how duped you were by the Marxist false alternative is
"The Creature From Jekyll Island".
Here's the moderately simple and brief explanation for outsourcing: Inflation in this country is really out of control, in things we can't trade like health care, tuition, real estate, and things we can't control like gasoline and metals. That's because the government has been pumping so much money into the economy to try to get it to go somewhere via lower interest rates and increased government spending. With all this money flying around it would have already have caused a ton of inflation, and wages would be very high in world wide terms, except people have been able to send the work overseas. That was less possible 20 years ago and almost totally impossible 30 years ago so we have this weird kind of recession where we are losing jobs in anything importable put a lot of people are doing really well in anything we can't export like real estate. The main export of the United States now is inflation. Here's the slightly
longer explanation.
You're right the TU-160 is old the T-60S is the newest Russian stealth bomber, supposedly deployed secretly in 2003.
T60-S
The signfigance of the Topol-Ms and the Sunburn is that they are only good for a direct confronation with the U.S. The Topols are road mobile which is a capability we don't even have. I haven't heard of the U.S developing any cavitating torpeodes for which there are no effective countermeasures yet. The whole
Edmond Pope spy affair in Russia was about the U.S trying to get data on this kind of technology.
Since we're all friends now and trust former KGB officers turned quasi-dictators, how bout the Russians give us some of the advanced weapons they've developed since they decided to become friendly members of the world community. For isntance, how about they give us the new
Topol-M road mobile super accurate nuclear missiles that can wobble in flight to avoid ABM systems.
They could give us the supersonic sea skimming nuclear tipped
Sunburn missile which does a maneuver before it hits so it can slam into the decks of carriers.
They could give us the docs on how they make their high-speed
cavitating torpedoes work.
Or their new
Tupelov supersonic bombers.
Or the new Russian
Infantry carried fuel air weapons that they used so well in the war in Chechnya.
I did this forever ago and it was a helluva lot easier than the above hack. You just make a 3 line perl cgi on your website somewhere that accepts a password and a note. When the user puts in the right password you puts their host at the end of/etc/hosts.allow file you let them in. Duh... Now that was easy.
