    Many Slashdotters would not be afraid to use data storage vulnerable to sunlight.

    It's available for Windows. It can't legally say "stable".

    Are cause and effect reversed in that statement?

    Someone (i.e. not me) should film some really nasty bondage films with people dressed as Australian customs agents. Make sure it is the first file searched. Smile and wink often, as you slowly move closer to an agent, or make up your own way to have fun.

    Is there no advertising revenue? I know they try to make money off of selling game credits, but I would be surprised if that were their only source of income.

    Did the shoe bomber (or the 'crotch' bomber) try to hijack the airplane? No, they just wanted to destroy it. An airplane will always be a more interesting target than a bus.

  9. Re:Brilliant. Go Steve! on Inventor Demonstrates Infinitely Variable Transmission · · Score: 1

    Exactly my first thought too. When load is applied to the output end, the torque is going to make that secondary spin unless additional force (aka bye bye increased efficiency) is used to keep it spinning at the target rate. The only hope is that the secondary motor has some mechanical advantage over the load, so it doesn't have to use as much counter-torque to keep the planetary at the desired rotational speed. They mentioned running efficiency tests at the end of the video, maybe this issue will come up in those tests.

    They would just have to fill that dome with air, and put the FAE in there! Perfect! I wish I'd thought of someone thinking of that first.

    If their current plan of stuffing the pipe with maintenance records doesn't work, maybe they'll try this.

    I'm hard pressed to imagine how listening to the senators from other districts is going to help him make a choice that represents his constituents.

    Easy. His lobbyists had already told him how to vote.

  21. Re:Not NTC: KSC, Houston And The Smithsonian Inste on Lawmakers Want a Space Shuttle In New York City · · Score: 1

    Me, I'm voting for the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry, which does a great job of preserving and displaying really big machinery, gets a *ton* of visitors, and could use a centerpiece like this.

    Agreed. There's probably space next to the U-505 building, or if they're concerned about the 500 year rule they could carve out part of the Mine exhibit and put the shuttle in it.

  22. Re:I'd go back to NYC just to see it on Lawmakers Want a Space Shuttle In New York City · · Score: 1

    Yes, they probably *could* get it into the hangar bay of the Intrepid, but given the shuttle's size, they may actually have to dismantle the ship to do so.

    It might just be cheaper to get a new carrier. The other factor keeping it out of the hanger bay, other than being too heavy, too long, and too wide, is the height- it is almost 60 feet tall (~18 m), which means they might have to carve a channel in the flight deck for the tail on a shuttle to move it into the hanger bay (or at least take out part of the ceiling in the hanger bay).

    Ground beef is labeled by percent fat (actually percent lean, but the math is fairly easy). Lower fat content costs more. Maybe that's what he was referring to.
