...it was under a contract from the U.S. Office of Naval Research, made by a corporation for a University. It was launched from a moving car. And it was over twice as heavy. The current plane is an entirely grassroots kinda thing.
I wonder how future cloud build-up would affect the potential for solar power on Earth. We may be shooting ourselves in the foot twice: Our planet gets warmer (or cooler) than it should, and we lose some of the energy that could be used to power all our gadgets. Can anybody shed some light on this?
What are your thoughts on AI-induced extinction of the human species? Some (specifically, Hugo de Garis) feel very strongly that this will be a major issue in the not too distant future, even going so far as to predict a "Gigadeath" war and declare which side they will be on. While I feel it is an issue that needs to be confronted, the zealousness with which some widely known researchers in the field are addressing it seems to me like a self-fulfilling prophecy.
And, if I may, what are your thoughts on evolutionary computation and the brain-building work of Hugo de Garis?

Anybody know where I can find one on the net? I'm hoping to be able to repair the broken mode dial without having to pay my entire pension to Canon.

Just a thought.
