The B-52 does require an engine upgrade - as when the plane is loaded to capaicity with ordinance, it cannot be fully fueled - otherwise it will not be able to take off. It then requires an in flight fill up after take off to do its mission.
Another interesting note about that plane, is that it has wheels on the end of its wings, due to the fact that after very lengthy flights, the wings stretch so much that when it returns its wings are touching the ground.
also - for all you/.'ers out there - hackers 2 is about kevin mitnick! pretty good flick (i am not a film student so I dont know shit)
russell wong plays Tsutomu Shimomura - who wrote the book takedown, which is about him catching mitnick (so is the movie...
but the funny thing is that the movie just makes Tsutomu look like a pompus ass. I mean he is portrayed as a super-genius hacker with a hot girlfriend, really nice house, a great job, and access to all the super-computer CPU cycles he would ever want...
the ONLY reason this movie was written by him was to make him self look good...
Hey katz - if you want to review movies that would relate to/.'ers - try finding films about nerdy things like, oh, i dont know, computers!
ok a quick question based on posts here... and previous/. stories and news:
given that posts to a news forum (such as/. and usenet) have been deemed as personal opinion via a court.
and given that as one poster mentioned, "some tech companies do a search on things you may have posted"
is it possible to copywright opinion. seeing as how authors can copywright works that they write - and extending fiction to opinion - it would seem that if I write a fictional novel, the words therein would be my opinion - especially if I wrote a fictional piece about how the Bush family was actualy very closely tied to the/bin/laden family - and that the who war was basically blackmail and coersion....
those things would be "fictional - and my opinion"
SO! the main point is - could I require that google/whomever remove any and all postings/writings of mine that I so desire?
if speech is free - do I own what I say... apparently I am "responsible" for what I spout...
ok - so I would have agreed to your comment on several points - however there is one thing that I am *totally* at ends with what you said:
"If I could set up my email system in such a way that it will only receive email after receiving notification from paypal that an amount X has been transferred to me..."
Um, I dont know if you have noticed but 99% of all people that use email enjoy the fact that they do not have to pay postage on the messages they send out....
and I would say that if your argument is that "I receive too much spam so as it is costing me" - I would suggest you stop soliciting email from porn sites....
(also - if your argument were to truly hold merit - you would not receive any junk mail in your snail mail box....
I dont know about you - but I get a shit-load of true garbage in my box that is actually *PAID* for by the sending party...
I asked the mail-man how to take care of this - and he said that the only way to "reduce but not eliminate" this problem was to get a P.O. box...
so as I stated - I think that your logic is flawed - and i you want to pay for mail - why dont I give you my address (p.o. box of course) and you can send me.25 cents for every spam you get.)
that is precisely the reason that I keep many email addresses.... a hotmail, a yahoo, one on each of the domains that I own, one on several friends domains, and some other randoms.
the yahoo I use for things like resume sending/replying.
hotmail is used for nothing - except personal forwarding of attachments - others are used when required for an email conf for password/whatever...
and the others I use for various personal reasons.
and my primary is totally for friend communication - and not given to anyone other than "trustees" and I NEVER get spam there.....
(however I get the most spam on HOTMAIL - even though this account was originally created for me to forward attachements that I wanted to keep that were sent to me while I was travelling for six months - that I did not want to clog my main box with. The hotmail addy i have NEVER given to ANYONE even my closest friends - and I get the *most* spam there - Thanks MSN.fags)
anyway - I would never want to agree to pay for postage on email - and I think that you need to look at what emails true value is - rathere than your ability to mis-manage your accounts...
Like I stated - spam is not a problem on *trustee* addy's - but only on corporate booty call boxes....
**HEAR THAT MISCROSOFT/HOTMAIL/YAHOO/WHOMEVER? YOU FSCKERS THAT SELL OUR ADDYS ARE DOING A DIS_SERVICE TO YOURSELF**
That means that your credibility has been flushed with the spam that we delete.... you would have much greater "brand loyalty" if you didnt allow your shitty market-droids to convince you that we wanted this crap...
The New York State World Trade Center Fund, The Twin Towers Fund, The WTC Fund, The Tallest Building In The World Fund, The Tower 1 Fund, The One World Trade Center Plaza Fund, The Families Who Worked in The World Trade Center Fund, The Families Who Worked in The Twin Towers Fund...
Ok - so its a bit cynical - but why arent people still talking about the fact that the red cross has more money than they know what to do with...
I'll bet that if we looked at how much money was raised for those families (who many were well to do investment types) they have enough damn money already (especially now after all this)...
What about the insurance for the WTC - has anyone stated what that covers...
Why dont we actually do something that will have an impact with all this money that we are raising? Where is it going - some monument? how much could that possibly cost? Who is keeping an eye on the people collecting this money?
I know that I for one will hear about the millions upon millions raised in the name of terror relief - but I can assure you that i will not see any effect this money may have.
(I have sympathy for the people who have suffered due to 9/11 - however I have no compassion for people who take advantage of these tragedies for greedy unscrupulous causes)
"protect the rights of composers, artists, writers, and others..."
how lame of them to use these terms: composers, artists, writers and OTHERS!!
the thing is that they use the terms composers, writers, artists in order to connect with peoples mental images of these types of people - honest, creative artsy souls - usually poor, and could benefit from this type of "protection"
this is very sad - as all it does is manipulate people into feeling a certain way about the treaty. In effect it is the same as "think of the children" so as to make anyone who is opposed to this a Nazi who doesnt think that the poor "un-protected" writers and artists' works should be protected.
regardless of whatever true implecations this bill will have - this type of propoganda is just getting old - and the sad thing is that it still seems to work.
it should have read "protect the rights of the agents, distributers, producers and publishers who have made an investment into composers, artists, writers, and others' works - so as to keep the revenue stream un-tapped by outside parties, who in all likelihood, would probably not be trying to truely infringe our IP anyway."
also regarding IPing that network. Use DHCP - but map a specific addy to each MAC of each machine. Then if for somereason a MAC comes online that is not in the table - blacklist it.
dedicate 25 or more of those 550 servers to traffic logging (actually prolly more like 150) and dump all logs to line printers.
Im sure carnivore and eschelon will be in full effect during this. So stay off the phone. Learn to speak gibberish.

your wrong. the military is already looking into strength assisting exo-skeletons for soldiers. what he was saying about mecha, does not necesarily mean ten story walking robots. it could be something more like the lifters in alien that ripley moves bombs and cargo around with.
the breakthrough here is the balancing technology that is in this overpriced heffer-hauler. it will allow for highly mobil tech that can actual walk faster than 2 inches per minute.
