I've said it a million times. Please do not exaggerate. AFAIK, the price of a B-2 is closer to $800 million per copy. Of course, the price would have been lower per unit had the DoD decided to build more than, what? 24? or was it 26 of them?
Oh... and depending on whom you ask... WE (the United States) ARE the bad guys.
IIRC, Clinton is about to leave office. His opinion on Nasa, world peace, hunger, [insert issue here], etc. no longer relevant.
I think that the time has come for the privatization of space and space exploration. I want my taxes reduced. No more increases in government spending. No.
The argument that responding to spam generators at all is likely to bring you further spam seems somewhat convincing on the surface, but is highly questionable if you consider it. It's predicated on the belief that spam generators use software which searches the towering spires of unpleasant replies they receive from their mass-mail programs, and somehow uses this information to decide who will be spammed next time. Were this to be the case, people who didn't reply would never get mailed again. Sadly, keeping silent rarely has this effect - it might thus be concluded that spam generators don't use the replies to their spam as signs of life.
Can't say that I agree with the logic. I have a bottle of elephant repellant here in my cube. There are no elephants around so it must be working.
Yahoo has a bulk email filter. Earthlink also offers a filter called "Spaminator". I just checked it. So far, Spaminator has intercepted over 200 emails since early November.
It seems to me that Earthlink intercepts more email than Yahoo. YMMV.
I think I'd rather believe that George Lucas lived in spite of not wearing a belt.
The Discovery Channel or possibly The Learning Channel periodically runs a series called "Crash". It's a history of automotive crash science. Your odds of survival are far far better with belts and bags than they are without. For every George Lucas, there's probably a score of people wrapped around their brake pedal in a tightly woven mass of flesh and bone.
Don't wear a belt. Darwinism in action. Oh yeah...
Agreed. Dr. Yueh is all wrong. The "traitor" character development was so lacking that I found myself trying to remember which one was the doctor.
That and the Mentats look far too normal. Funny hats do not a human computer make.
The funny thing is... I'm comparing this version to Lynch's Dune as if that was "the right way" to do it. Right or wrong, I think Lynch's Dune had more style. The sterilized text-book look and feel of a sci-fi story is all over this mini-series. I don't see it has an improvement.
But what the hell... I'll be watchin' some more.
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but...
The blades on a helicopter are wings. They are affected by temperature the same way a fixed wing aircraft is affected.
right?
As far as we know, this is the first serious, large-scale painting produced on a Palm.
Can someone define "serious"?
Kemp lives and paints in the middle of the ancient city of Oxford, England and yet he has produced one of the most cutting edge of contemporary paintings.
Give me a break. Cutting edge scribbles from some knucklehead with way way too much time on his hands.
Each of the small paintings was made with the movements we are all familiar with in our everyday writing. However, none of them contain any known characters or letters.
Right... and some people say masturbation isn't sex.
I read it. The statement still stands. GPS doesn't guide the aircraft. Autopilots on most (if not all) GA aircraft do not follow terrain. If the pilot leaves a dark spot on some mountain top, it's his fault.
The amount of radiation received from a GPS satellite is roughly equivalent to the amount of radiation a person in Los Angeles would receive from a night light in Chicago.
GPS is just one more sensor, one more piece of the situational awareness puzzle. If a pilot bets his life on the performance of a single sensor and disregards the others, he deserves the result.
Slashdot Mirror
I stand corrected sir. $1.3 Billion.
According to the Federation of American Scientists, the cost is over $2 Billion per copy. The FAS references a GAO Report of 1997.
So if the FAS is to be believed... I was not only wrong. I was way friggin wrong. I'm guessing that the USAF will understate the cost of the B-2.
Cheers.
Hah! I absolutely do not believe you.
Wow... cool site. I'll look into it more. The Chinese name generator is interesting.

Speaking Mandarin (or is it Mandarese?)... in any case... one more thing to add to the list of things I will not do in this lifetime.
Hmmm... it's showing in the D.C. area.
The radio stations around here have been saying that CTHD is subtitled. Is this true?
By the tone of Katz' review, I did not get that impression.
You mean this?

The article says:
I thought the rule was, "Never answer spam. Answering only serves to validate the spammers database."

Oh yeah... I missed your point alright.
It seems that we agree...
Word documents and Power Point presentations...
Until they increase the RAM, adding support for MS Office documents is putting the cart before the horse.
IMNSHO, the 8MB available on the X models is not enough to do what you propose.

This is not a bill.
The United States is not part of the Council of Europe.
The FBI and U.S. Department of Justice aided the drafting of this treaty. I doubt that their assistance came under congressional oversight.
The Council of Europe has promised to provide a list of exceptions to the treaty...
I'm betting that the list of exceptions is larger than the treaty itself.
Enough is enough... we need another "treaty". The cyber Bill of Rights.
Oh... read this also: http://www.msnbc.com/news/478718.asp/a& gt;.
It was also a good excuse for Katz to use the word Luddite again.

Mr. Powers was shot down by one of fourteen V-75 missiles fired at his U-2.

A couple of watts is huge comparatively.
Who is responsible? The pilot, that's who.
GPS is just one more sensor, one more piece of the situational awareness puzzle. If a pilot bets his life on the performance of a single sensor and disregards the others, he deserves the result.
Okay... the altitude is relative to the datum but isn't the actual computed altitude relative to the earth center?
