What on earth is a cu/ft? cu's per foot? ITYM cu.ft. or ft^3 (idiot stashdot wont let me write a superscript 3, not even ³ works).
Anyway, in real units:
You know the Apollo module had a whopping interior volume of 6m^3 The Orion is planned for approx 15m^3. [ a bit more than 2 x Apollo.]
The crew cabin of the STS orbiter is 66 m^3 to 74 m^3 depending on the airlock configuration, and even more with an experiment module in the payload bay. [ Around 10 x Apollo CM.]
For comparisons that you may know, a 12m bus (like a city bus or greyhound/MCI) is approximately 68 m^3, [ About the same as the STS orbiter.].
A Ford Econoline e150 cargo volume is 6.5 m^3. [ About the same as Apollo CM. ]
An average master bedroom is 51 m^3 (4.6m^3 x 4.6m^3 x 2.4m^3). An average bedroom (not master) is about 27m^3 .
The longest shuttle flight was STS-80 at 17 days, 15 hours, 53 minutes, with a crew of 5.
So STS-80 crew had at least 13m^3 each (crew + supplies + flight gear), and flew for just over 17 days. [ i.e. twice the volume of the Apollo CM each ]
The Orion module crew will have 3.7 m^3 each (crew + supplies + flight gear), for at least a 21 day flight. Basically, 4 to 6 people in 56% of a single small bedroom, plus all the food, water, clothes, hygiene supplies. It'd get very crowded in there very quickly. It sounds far from ideal as our future of space travel
If I had a well on my land which gave me clean water and some anonymous coward shat in it would the fact that I pay nothing for that water stop me from kicking his arse?
Further, a person only really owns what he can defend, including areas with improvements, fences, etc. Your exclusive right to the space above your land can not be enforced against things you can't see, or that pass by so fast you can't catch them, or prevent them from entering.
Oh, that's why I'm installing a 2nd hand SA-2 system. No good against military stuff but those buggers from Air France better look out.
Rebuilding the kernel enables end users to make modifications to their devices that are normally not intended by the device manufacturer, such as theming the device by changing system icons
100 million tonnes ~ circa 1 km square to 100m deep. It's doable.
Isn't the He-3 in the top few mm/cm not 100m deep?
When you are shifting that much rock you are going to get a huge amount of side product, alu silicon, iron etc which in itself will generate opportunities.
No, you're going to get crushed regolith. Sand.
If you want to refine that you're going to have to put a bit of work into it.
If you realised you were wrong why didn't you have the decency to admit it rather than wasting our time? (That's the royal we there:-))
Soulfader (527299) said that the constiturion said you had to be "American, born in America" to be president.
I asked for a citation.
You quoted the constitution (which doesn't say that)
I repeated my request for a citation.
You gave a very long winded explanation that someone is either natural born or naturalized
I said "so a child of an American parent born outside the US is a natural born citizen."
You said "That's not what I said at all."
I asked "So if you're not naturalized, and you're not natural born, you're what?"
You replied
If you are born in another country, you are not a US natural born citizen
Then in another message which the brain dead Slashdot comment system didn't show to me you said: "Add: Children born to US citizens outside the US are considered natural born US citizens."
I want to be able to zoom in and see the paper fiber texture, the dust that tends show up on the scanner, the ink and pencil marks sitting on top of the surface of the page. Thing that are EXTREMELY EASY to decern from even a poor scan of an old style document.
Uh, you do know that it's printed off microfilm don't you?
Crazy people will never shut up, no matter how much "evidence" you give them.
Sane people accepted the "short form" certificate when it was explained to them that that was what Hawaii gave out and the government of Hawaii certified that the information was correct.
The only people who carried on with the nonsense are those who can't hear what's being said above all the noise coming from the voices in their head.

Anyway, in real units:
Spaceships made of paper usually have pretty amazing performance.
Making stuff out of other materials is harder, which is why NASA and the US have stopped doing it.
No.
(BSc in Computer Science, UEA, 1980).
Any discipline that includes the word "science" isn't.
Political science.
Library science.
and so on.
(Of course the idiotic slashdot summary is wrong:
So he's an engineer, not a scientist).
If I had a well on my land which gave me clean water and some anonymous coward shat in it would the fact that I pay nothing for that water stop me from kicking his arse?
Huh?
What government? You have a government in your unrealistic fantasy land? Why?
So, exactly what do you think are my chances of suing the people who've increased atmospheric CO2 from 320ppm to 390ppm since 1960?

So If I rent an apartment I have to pay my landlord for breathing too?
Why "up to a certain altitude"? Why can't I own all the space above my back lawn 'till the edge of the universe?
Who owns the sky above this "certain altitude"?
Do I get to rent the sky above my garden to airlines?
People in civilized places don't need to. What comes out of the tap is cleaner than bottled water.
Well, the argument is over, the AC has spoken.
Who owns the atmosphere?
Sorry, meant to give you +1 insightful but my moderating finger slipped.
Why no preview on moderation?
With difficulty, but it's possible.
As for any claim that Thorium is some magic pixy dust that prevents all forms of nuclear accident.... pah.
One of the Colin Kapp "unorthodox Engineers" stories had a planet where no two railway lines used the same gauge.
'The Railways Up On Cannis' or maybe 'The Subways Of Tazoo'.
Filter, schmilter.
Uh, so you didn't brick the phones.
Bricks don't have unlock combinations.
WTF?
Isn't the He-3 in the top few mm/cm not 100m deep?
No, you're going to get crushed regolith. Sand.
If you want to refine that you're going to have to put a bit of work into it.
Of course it's a problem.
Global warming is caused by the sun, don't you know.
If the RCA patent was from the '40s what relevance did it have to the Apple ][ from the late '70s?
Other claims place it on '66 or even '75.
Not exactly as great a challenge as you imply.
Do you think you could actually get the governor on the phone?
Are you serious? "Governor, I've got President Obama on line 1, do you want to take the call?"
As for your stuff about computer records - it's on microfilm.
If you realised you were wrong why didn't you have the decency to admit it rather than wasting our time? (That's the royal we there :-))

So you agree with me. What a waste of time

But that's the point
