I really do believe that the future of space exploration lies in the hands of companies like Armadillo Aerospace. The US government is to clumsy and inflated to handle something like space exploration.
Can one of you Uber-geeks explain why craft like the shuttle need to take off vertically? Couldn't we take a really powerful jet, take it up to a rediculously high altitude, and then switch to rocket power for the last leg of the trip? The shuttle just doesn't seem like the most convenient/economical solution.
I still don't have optical coming into my house, and how long has that technology been around for? This is a nice idea, but recognize it for the vapor that it is.
In such a short time, we've gone from the days where 80m long radio waves were considered "shortwave" and anything over 100 Mhz was "unusable" to our new modern dreams of Multi Ghz signals and waves getting so short that we are tempted to measure them in millimeters.
... and people wonder why cancer rates are rising so quickly...
802.11a was set as a standard, but, until now, no company has made it economical enough to produce the hardware. I don't think it will "catch on" until there's at least one more company making these cards, and driving down the price a bit.
Why is BT going after the ISPs? It's the web browsers that implement hyperlinks. If anyone should compensate British Telecom for their use of hyperlink technology, Netscape and Microsoft should.

This is something which has been the talk amongst animators for the past couple of weeks
This is something that the animation community has known was coming for more than a year. It was only a matter of time.

I nominate myself for president of the internet. Who want's to be my running mate?
