  1. What happens if I can talk to two routers? on ISPs And Router Security · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't blocking packets from outside the network that bore internal addresses screw things up if there were hosts on the network who could speak to two different routers? And ingress filtering is a pretty well established thing, isn't it? So why ISPs don't implement it might have more to do with Wall Street than Silicon Valley. Bhaloo.

  2. Why didn't they screw Intel? on Intel Reacts to AMD · · Score: 1

    This might be a little off-topic, but it seems to me CPU speeds have gone up much faster, and prices gone down, ever since AMD started going after Intel. Which means that before AMD turned up, Intel was really behaving like some kind of monopolist, hurting cosumers and all. So why didn't the DoJ go after them? bhaloo

  3. Some more articles on Faster Than Supersonic Travel - Underwater · · Score: 1

    This one is about the US naval policy in the post Soviet era. It mentions anti-mine supercavitation weapons, about one-third of the way down, under "Complementary Systems" http://www.nas.edu/cpsma/nsb/uw2.htm Bhaloo

  4. Re:You know... on Faster Than Supersonic Travel - Underwater · · Score: 1

    Read the article carefully, or go through some of the comments below. Anyway, it is in water, 5400 km/hr, 1500 m/s. In air, at sea level, it's ~320 m/s, ~1200 ks. bhaloo

  5. Re:Relative to air or water? on Faster Than Supersonic Travel - Underwater · · Score: 1

    In air, at sea level, it's around 320 m/s. The speed they mention (5400 km/hr. ~1.5 km/s) is the figure in water-that's already more than twice as fast as Concorde. bhaloo, the big, dumb bear.

  6. Re:Refraction might make it hard to hit the mines on Faster Than Supersonic Travel - Underwater · · Score: 1

    This is rich! I mean, they use inertial navigation for their aircraft, which apparently has the theory of relativity built into it somewhere, do you seriously think they'd forget refraction for their underwater bullets? Bhaloo, the big, dumb bear.
