Roskosmos could do an internet lottery via Pay Pal, I'm sure Pay Pal would do it for nothing, for the good Karma it would generate. As soon as the hundred mill is reached, the lottery number is drawn and the touch paper is lit. The beauty of doing it this way, is we all get a chance to go and this chance is increased by the number of lottery tickets bought.
Branson likes lotteries. Perhaps someone who knows him could suggest it to him. Get a few big names on board, that would buy a few thousand tickets and it would soon snow ball. Perhaps B Gates could buy a few tickets - hell he could fund it on his own, after he has cured the world of AIDS of course.
I think Newtons third law does not make sense in a non eucldian universe.
Every action has equal and opposite reaction does not make sense in a non euclidian universe because the equal and opposite reaction is not in a straight line, ie it is curved, part of a circle. therefore comes back on itself, therefore is not opposite.
I think the best bet is the mobius strip and the Klein bottle.
After the profoundly depressing news since last Thursday, it is nice to get some profoundly good news. The professionalism shown by the BeeB applied to Linux, it could lead to it getting the final polish it needs.
Why doesn't the Beeb do a late night program with open source makers and shakers on the Beeb payroll telling us about themselves and getting people like Alan Cox to talk to us.

Might be a coincidence - but could also be the same mind behind the planning of both outrages
1) we don't have reactor technology for Deuterium or Tritium so at this point He3 is so far off that there is little use even thinking about it.
This summer, researchers at the University of Wisconsin Fusion Technology Institute in Madison reported having successfully initiated and maintained a fusion reaction using deuterium and helium-3 fuel.
Imagine going through life with not being able to talk to people in spoken/writen language, where all you could do is click your fingers and point at something, anagalous to going to a foreign country an not being able to spick a da'lingo. Where all you can do is vaugely wave your hands around, point at things and hope they get your meaning, The truth of it is, the CLI is much more akin to speaking to your machine instead of making threatening gestures at it via a GUI.
I'm tempted to say 'point and click' my arse, but might it might give you the wrong idea:)
Yes on the surface in some areas Linux might look a bit like a GUI spatchcock, but its heart is golden, engendered by thirty years of evolution and stress testing, windoze has nowhere near the pedigree.
We live in a black box society where people think all that is necessary, is to have the correct label for everything and to know which button to press. There has the inherent danger in this process, of dumbing everyone down.
Truth to tell, it is not about UNIX Linux or Micro$oft, it is about open source versus closed source, this has nothing to do with GUI/CLI.
(Heh pressed the wrong button trying unsuccesfully to get/.'s html live link working, oh never mind. "Rudyard Kippling" wrote a nice poem about called "Dane Geld" So google for it.:)
The real plus of open source software is, it lets hardware companies fine tune their hardware's far greater with opensource because they can actually read the sourcecode. This is because of the enormous benifit to the computer engineering science progress by having the source code that makes the devise operating with closed sourcesurce evlolve slower because the nature of the closed source is secret. If the source is not freely availabe in the 011company More tomorrow (very late and I'm falling aseap)
Well there is more than one issue here, if Earthlink have done their sums right they might make it work, I'm surprised Vonage have not done the same thing. I do not think companies realise the freedom open source gives them, not because they don't have to pay the danegeld
An in depth, on line book about the development story of the Apple Mac can be read here http://folklore.org/index.py/ It is a shame that Andy Hertzfeld and Ron Avitzur did not apparently collaborate.
When can we have an open source unix version of this software please? I am mathematically dyslexic.
You get deutirium from sea water, its called heavy water. The deuterium isotope occurs naturally in the ratio 1:4500; thus D2O is found at the level of about 1 in 20 million water molecules. So we are not exactly short of it
Causality, phenomena, hypothesis, evidence, predictability. Look at the evidence generate a hypothesis. Newtons hypothesis worked well for hundreds of years to explain the movement of the planets, the fact that his hypothesis could not explain the orbit of mercury was conveniently ignored. Along came Einstein and suddenly mercury behaved itself.
I would prefer much more that they were going to the moon to harvesting helium 3 and trying to fuse it with deuterium, the fact that helium 3 lacks something and dueterium has bit to much of something could make a fusion reaction easier to achieve. A link here.

The mobius strip by some definitions has only one side, what does this mean in terms of kinetics? Newtons third law states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction this is okay in a euclian universe, in a non eucldian the equal and opposite reaction is paradoxical because it is not a straight line - it is curved. If it is curved, eventually it will curve right back on itself and no longer be opposite.
The univese might be shaped like a klien bottle and be both inside of itself and outside of itself in terms of time. Help I'm stuck in a loop - help I'm stuck in a loop.
Please read this and think about what it could mean - in terms of what is occuring within the DNA and RNA of neuronal chromosomes. I emailed Jaqueline Barton about it and she ignored me.
Like you, I do it in the armchair too. As I understand it they introduced a different set of chromosomes from another cell and inserted them in an adult cell, then gave it an electric shock to induce mitosis.
As the cell they introduced the new chromosomes to would have had old mDNA, I wondered if that might have been the reason for Dolly's premature ageing.
BTW, my user name has nothing at all to do with Dolly the sheep, a dollyknot is a special kind of English truck drivers knot, its called a dollyknot, because it is shaped like a dolly. It is also an incredibly useful knot because it works like a pulley.
Three jet aircraft take off. Two jets at either end of a long piece of knicker elastic. The third jet would have the payload of a space rocket attached by a hook to the middle of the knicker elastic. When all three planes have reached their ceiling. The middle plane flies earthwards, the other two planes fly horizontaly in opposite directions, loading the knicker elastic with the mathematical maximum of energy. When this point is reached, the middle plane releases the space rocket. All the energy stored in the knicker elastic will be transfered to the space rocket. How fast would the space rocket be going before it fired its engine, how much fuel would it need to achieve escape velocity?
I am not a mathematician, nor a materials scientist, so I do not know how much energy can be stored in knicker elastic. But I'm sure that it can be released in an effective way to be able to claim the 'X' prize.
I will not die happy if I never see elephants dance the pas de deux. Or human beings achieve true bird like flight. Or humanity starts the herculean task of putting the earth back the way they found it. Come on lads parties over, lets clean the place up, and put all the trees back. I know a place where there is lots of space, lots of room, its very quiet, very clean, no bugs, and twenty four hours a day sunshine. No earthquakes, no typhoons, hurricanes, very few neighbours.
Newton's third law states, 'If one body exerts a force on another, there is an equal and opposite force, called a reaction, exerted on the first body by the second.
This is all fine and dandy in a cartesian universe, however in a non cartesian universe this is contradictory. Yeah, YEAH. This can only work in a cartesian universe. In a cartesian universe using euclid the *equal* and *opposite* is in a straight line.
The logic problem with this is, in the universe we appear to live in, has the *equal* and *opposite* reaction describing a curve. If something describes a curve, it usually ends up back where it started. Where did the opposite go?
Newtonian gravitational theory assumes that gravity is only a function of the attraction between two atoms and is not seen as a function of how those atoms are moving.
Voyagers mysterious slowing down, contra to newtonian celestial mathematical predictions, is an indication that all is not well with our mathematical model of the universe, not to mention the missing mass problem.
Newton's equations worked very well, until one tried to predict the orbit of mercury with them. Mercury inconveniently ignored Newton and everybody looked the other way for three hundred years, after all what what is one minor inconsistancy in such a wonderful set of equations.
Along came Einstein and suddenly mercury started to behave mathematicaly. I must have ploughed through about four biographies on Einstein and every biography I read seemed to be saying the same thing, that being, until his dying day he stated he could never fit gravity into his equations. Looking for evidence for gravity in the atom AKA 'quantum gravity theory' might miss the possibility that a mobius strip might have only one side kinetcally.
Why does everybody want go somewhere anyway? No matter where I go. I am in my head being me, gawd knows the virtual miles I travel on the 'net tho'. Would'nt mind trying zero 'g's for a few millenia just to contradict myself
