Umm we (The U.S.) don't have any active battleships left. That being said the range on a harpoon or a tomahawk, paveway or any other guided missle/bomb is a hell of a lot longer than 26 miles....
I took out the trackball and put in a semi-opauqe blue one added a few superbright blue leds and some glue.......instant glow in the drak mouse. next is the keyboard....anyone know how much current the PS/2 port can provide and how much the average keyboard uses, I really don't want to go Thevinizing the fricking keyboard circuit to get a good number.......
Amusingly enough Nissan makes more of their cars (percentage of each vehicle, engine, frame ect..) in the U.S. than ford does. Go to a lot sometime and look at the little label on the window where it will tell you the percentage of the car and what country it was made in. When I was working at a nissan/ford dealership I got to see that most nissans were about 60-75% us built with only the trans coming from Japan, but the Fords were lower, around 40-55% US built, also with Trans coming from Japan.

game every six months because everyone else is doing it better and faster.....hmmm draws an interesting parallel to blizzard and war3, and look what happened to THAT game when it was done........
and the only thing they noticed was.."Wow the web browser thingy hasn't crashed today!" or "I just noticed that non of my friends are sending me the good ol` "why did you send me a virus" email, I wonder why?"
sounds like me:) only i did finish the job.....sort of. the bedrooms are wired(2 cat5e jacks each) and have nice looking plates, all routed to the retro-fitted garage/server room.....where it becomes an insane mess that I still have yet to figure out:p
Damn Right! Companies will only charge what people are willing to pay. some other posters say "hell no that costs too damn much" but many other say the cost is just about right, I wouldn't mind it be less (then again who wouldn't) but I am willing to pay the price. Simple economics prices will equal whatever the market will bear, unless you have a monopoly
if the business method works or not the RIAA will use it for ammo against P2P reguardless. at some point in the future artists will be forced to either start selling albums in digital format online themselves, go with a non-RIAA affiliated label or die in an RIAA induced pool of debt. its that simple, in the between time we will all suffer the rath of the RIAA.
I saw some wierd scifi movie once where truckers and other drivers were hard-wired into their rigs for life, complete with feeding and waste dispposal machines. matter of fact they even controlled the rigs without even moving. Maybe directly controlled by the mind? they never made any of that clear, it was more along the lines of guy-1:"why is that guy in there like that?" other dude:"he's a controller (or something like that) he never gets out of the vehicle, the rig sustains him 24/7, it is where he will spend the rest of his life."
can people read into a movie an more than this guy? this is nothing more than another case of someone wanting and needing to see some sort of personal religious message in a movie so he can point and yammer about another pointless piece of old text.
everyone is bitching about if the matrix:reloaded is going to be good or not. all that shit comes down to just a few simple things. first as long as you enjoy yourself and the movie who the fuck cares? and second is as long as you know what to expect (i.e. action, drama ect..) and the general caliber of the movie than you likley won't be dissapointed.
in riverside Ca. #1 has most of your new componets that one would find in any modern elec. store but, electronics wherehouse #2 is a scavangers paradise and located next door to #1. I even found a 1 Ohm 700 Watt resister that stood 4 1/2 feet tall once! I only use it as a oversized paperweight in my office but I couldn't leave it there is was just too damn cool!
the X-33 is VERY dead. it was being done at Skunkworks and after MASSIVE budget overruns it was finally getting somewhere...but as you said bush killed it within weeks of getting into office.
the biggest bitch was of course the massive costs, but if you look at the other truley great space/aerospace inovations they all cost a fricking boatload.. B2 and F117 stealths, going to the moon(it is estimated that it would cost in the trillions to replicate that effort today)..it was truly sad when the x-33 went away..
Re:and, fairly easy to make this happen...

of course. however a portbale EMP generator couldn't produce the field intensity required to overload and fry the chips. It would require a much stronger field to kill em', i.e. a microwave.
