We had gas diffusion processes working since the 1960s with GE putting a parakeet into a box, then putting the box into a freshwater aquarium.. The 'keet breathed air being passed to it via a 6"x6" piece of membrane.
Now the problem was the rate of diffusion, how much gas will the membrane allows to pass within a given time. The demo GE put on was fine and dandy since the bird's O2 demands were so low. But with a living, breathing, working mammal, thats a whole different kettle of fish.
I hope that the Israeli understands that before he scales up, or he might wind up agianst a dead end with the project.
'sides, the B-52H that replaced the B-52B "Old 008" is not ready to do drop missions.
The last mission the old warhorse did was the Hyper-X mission and they had the devils' own time with the fuel transfer system. They finally managed to avoid aborting the mission by using the air refuelling management panel.
Mod parent up. If the joker does withhold your paycheck, nail that SOB agianst the wall with the state DA holding the ballbat. You can effectively cripple his operation if his activites warrant a deeper investigation by the DOL and the IRS.
Make a casual note to him if he does try to withold payment that "Unkle Sam" may hold a dim view on this matter. He'll get the picture that you are not fooling around.
Symantec's stuff, spend a bundle, pray that it installs and actually runs without having to pore over endless documentation or downloads. Or worse, calling their tech support line and PRAY that their system does not hang up on you. Not my kind of idea spending a afternoon dealing with software issues.
Oh, did I also mention that Avast has AV distros that are built for *nix servers? Symantec does not have a single application that does that.
Someone forgot to mention the lensing effects when you have a microwave antenna put up at high elevations. The inherent characteristics of the antenna's radiation patters dictate how much coverage the setup will have at any given height. SO the best thing in this case is that someone is going to have to sit down at a terminal with a antenna creator program, build an antenna that has optimum horizontal emission patterns to operate at 600 feet.
Hey, its either that or set the antennas at a optimum level on the Needle itself, then disguising/camoflaging them so that they do not disfigure the tower.
Hey, which is cheaper and gives more coverage for the buck? You let your pocketbook sort that one out.
The russkies used sodium liquid metal in their primary cooling loops to conduct the heat. Icebreakers and a few early subs used sodium, but had maintaince problems with the metal due to the fact that it solidifies at room temperature. One icebreaker was crippled for 2 years due to the sodium leaking out of the primary loop into the containment vessel, solidifying and damaging the control rod mechanisms.
I agree, that sodium is a great idea to use as a heat conductor, but it does have a high price to keep the stuff contained.
Have you seen the flyer that they are wanting to use on mars? The wingspan alone would rival a 747s. Oh and the propeller that it's going be using. It's as big as the GE90's turbofan intake compressor.
The lift fan on a hovercraft on mars would be probably about 75 feet in diameter.
And the dust! my gawd the poor thing would choke on it and visibility would be ZERO the instant the blades start moving any kind of volume.
Is rip out that foxconn board and put something that has a few more TEETH into it. The second thing would be to try to clean up that wiring mess they got in there! Ich!
I think that the problem was of how much air pressure that the hard drive has to work with in a space vehicle. As i recall the Mauna Loa Observatory, which is above 10,000 feet, had problems in the past with head failures. They come to find out that the air density was insufficient for the heads to fly properly and the drives would quite literally, crash. So IBM, (as i recall) simply sealed the drives, made them hermetic with sea level atmosphere inside the drive case so that they could operate at the observatory.
Now, I don't know how many atmospheres the ISS works at, but i suspect that it is pushing the equivalent of the 5-8,000 foot mark back on good old terra firma, which could make for some interesting problems with the 3.5" HDs.
The ink used to check bills will CHANGE in color, not smear. Now that is with the pens that i've been using on a regular basis. All the cashier needed to do is hold the bill up to the light and see the mylar strip embedded in the bill.
This tells you alot what bestbuy's hiring policy is like.. They dislike folks that think too much for their own.
I kicked Whirlwind's ass on more than one occassion. There were two in my town at the time. One's gravity was set too low, which allowed me to kick its ass royally. The other one was set just right but the fan's bearings were going out. When that fan came on, i'd get distracted by the dammed thing's loud rattling and the ball would go down the drain.
Ahh, there was two more on my list of good pins. The Comet, which I made jump and rattle like it was going out of style. And The Cyclone, which had great mechanicals. Both were in restaurants (separate places) and i'd get them dancing and dinging away, have folks leaving their pizzas and come over wondering what in the world was I doing to the poor things.
Yup, Atari's attempt to breach the pinball market was the ole Hercules. It actually used a pool cueball as it's playing ball. It didn't do well on the market and atari soon closed it's pinball department and moved on.
The best one that i've ever played, and got my ass kicked left and right was the Addams Family pinball. They had the gravity cranked up just a little higher than usual, making for some interesting situations. We broke it on more than a couple of occasions.

Hack the 'cat, man.. The company itself it pretty much down the dumper and odds are that they won't last much longer.
Make yourself a nice barcode reader out of it, or something else that is actually useful.
There goes the hospital bills, straight through the roof!
At least you know what you are paying for, especially for such a cool system as this, instead of bedpans and oxygen lines by the foot.
Replace "aol head" with Steve Case, up until 5 years later.
You get the idea.
Or worse, some loop routing his turbo so where it sticks out in front of the car...
It's true! I just need to find the $#%$#! link agian..

A silent magnetic pump.
Gee, does this mean we could take this and put it on a submarine and have our own Red October?
No, wait.. We need our own sub-launched ballistic missiles....
Shucks.
that he needs to keep his yap shut until he has something intelligent to say, instead of being a PR parrot for Gates.

They'll bail after they see the news, just watch intermix's stock ticker plummet like the hammer aimed at the fraudster's hands.
Apparently AOL got their heads out of their collective asses. MAPS pulled the entries as of noon Eastern time (-5 GMT).

It's Mauna KEA observatory!

Until you mangle a strip by jamming the sticky sides together, then it's all DARK!
I hate when that happens...
