That's one of the things with finding and deploying cures for the effects of a nuclear event. It might have the effect of removing the political aspect of using nuclear weapons, to actually encouraging terrorists to actually deploy IND or the Real Thing.
This would help people, but what would clean up the contamination of the surrounding environment aside from dozers and dump trucks?
There were a lot more factors involved than just the shuttle program. There was the war in Southeast Asia that was eating up the fiscal budget. Then you had the flagging public interest. The general consensus was that we made it, we accomplished Kennedy's Goal, we beat the Russians to the moon, why should we go back? The lunar program was one of the few "Blank Check" programs that was approved by congress. And boy did NASA gobble up the funds. The evolution from the IRBM Redstone and Jupiter missiles converted to launch vehicles to the scratch built Saturn family created major milestones in R&D as well as fabrication processes. And that took a lot of money to do.
As for the tapes, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the quality of the image. You see, the data stream being sent from Honeysuckle back to the states was being compressed so it could be transmitted via the SPACETRACK network at the time. NASA corrected the problems for the remainder of the landings but the grainy, streaked image is still part of history.
AdBlock... *Grovels before it.* You have saved my weekend from the nasty, nasty, nauty ad services. To the masses that do not use AdBlock; get it, use it, pay the poor programmer for his diligent work.
Clothlike photovolatics. You'd be quite literally wearing a patch of solar cells on your jacket, powering your appliances. Self-charging power cells, when it runs low, it'll tell you through audibles or a simple electroluminescent indicator. Just set it outside and it'll happily charge itself.
New processes for PV's to be built. Self-charging billboards using LED's or other low voltage lighting, eliminating high powered spots that pollute the night sky. I don't know how they would stand up to the rigors of space travel, but I'll bet they'll come up with something, perhaps laminating BB PV's in Lexan or a similiar transparent material.
Maybe a paint using them, making once again, self powered equipment, or hybrid wind generators that keep generating power even when the wind is calm!
How are they at being a wearing face? New generations of bearing materials that have an even lower friction coefficient than the current materials.
Also, new formulations for fuel using polymer chains of BB's maybe in order, making it an excellent replacement for sulfur as a lubricating additive.
Oh that person has every right be crass. If someone's life is on the line and the medical staff is doing 9-5ers without regard for that person's life, then they need to be fired. The majority of the good doctors are detectives. The ones that are not are the ones that oftentimes get patients in trouble, or worse. This girl had a difficult-to-diagnose disease and her caretakers did not take the time to perform a full grid search of her biopsies, or the time to actually make ANY effort outside of what they are being paid for, to resolve this mystery.
Bottom line are the morons didn't think outside their little boxes.
I'll bet their post-it notes are an inch wide! (Meaning, closed minds.)
Albert: Tried to gain admittance to college several times. It took over a dozen papers (including the photon concept) for him to gain admittance to college. He intensely disliked rote learning, clashing with instructors and administrators over it. Had a reputation to goof off (He was actually having some lovely brainstorms, one storm on space-time coming to him as he was riding a bus.) Was a ladies man (They really wigged out when he broke out his violin).
The kid had better get used to failure; poor Albert was rife with it throughout his life.
I owned the Voodoo1 piggyback and it was good, but didn't satisfy me. First chance I had, I got a hold of the 5500 beast and had to use the Dremel on my case to squeeze that mother in.
But it was a killer card, giving killer frame rates at high quality.
I brew my own, especially the long runs, but the patch panel jobs I buy them by the gross lot so I won't have to be sitting there fiddling with wiring.
Before I buy a box of cable, I break out a megger and cook each pair, looking for variances in resistance. I tie each pair together then clip a megger onto the other ends. If the readings don't jibe, I hand the box to the clerk so they can RMA it.
No one likes a bad spool of wire. I've had two and one of them cost me dearly at a job. The first box got chucked into the bin. The other got handed back to the clerk and got another full box without any fuss.
Environmental conditions. Is your residence in a tropical area? Do you have window AC units keeping your place cool? Do you have problems with humidity control (as in too much)? You might want to check your NW plugs and jacks to make sure that they look bright and golden, not dull, dark or green. That would tell you if you might have problems up the line with the wall jacks and the cabling you ran. If you can, repunch with fresh wall jacks and replace your runs where the plugs are poor. If your wiring was run in high traffic areas, definitely reroute with fresh wiring or replace with an alternative method of NW. If it's buried and not in PVC pipe, be wary of burrowing rodents. They love the taste and texture of PVC jackets.
Had a chilling thought looking at the specifications of the vehicle. It could easily carry several B61 nuclear bombs without much strain, perhaps up to 3 or 4. Being unmanned means that it won't be risking crews to fly nuclear missions. This might be taken wrong by hostile countries and it might be put on center stage.
The USGS and the oilfield companies could use this to their advantage, predicting major events, to computing more precise strike points for drilling, reducing the chance of having a "dry hole".
Not too far from there lies Salem with their witch hunts way back when. It makes me shiver in me timbers thinking of all those poor girls that came under the adjudicator's thumb. Boston and the state itself should be ashamed for what their law enforcement is doing.
The pendulum swings both ways, and I think that Sol may swing back with a fury from this sub solar minimum to an above level solar maximum. We may wind up with the predicted power problems and possibly airline flights having to fly lower than usual to reduce dosages to their pax.
Then again, we don't really know our star very well and it is an older one, in the scope of things.
EA went nuts in their effort to make the physics work in the game. But all they managed to do is turn it into a stuntman's heaven. Videos abound of jeep jumps, inverse jumping (you get blown UPWARDS and land on a bridge or building above you) wing walking (I think the current record for most on a B-17 was like 25) and my favorite, plane switching in mid-air.
One nut managed to take a panzer and make it break dance for a few minutes.
And you have to keep in mind how insular the telecoms and cable companies are in comparison to how the Japanese counterparts are. The majority of their systems are gov't sanctioned, driven and funded. They can afford to keep their customers happy, in direct comparison to how the utilities take care of their American clients. From what I've seen, heard and experienced, our telecoms in the US treat their clients like dirt in comparison to our Asian friends.
After you get done with all that, get into the Group Policy manager and set GPO's prohibiting them from installing ANY kind of software onto their workstations. That's your job, not theirs.

The main reason why you took manual control of the vehicle.... XEROX built the on board computer! And it broke... (tisk)

They got that million dollar touchless scanner that can digitize the papers with ease, then put them into either Open Source or PDF formats.

Ditto. Good Macadam roads are tougher than standard asphaltic types, but the dust will kill you until it stabilizes.

You are not logical HP 15C. Polish notation you are.
Poorly designed for 3d applications, borderline for the rest, and leeching off of the system memory to boot!
Banging the gong on this one, for those onboard GPUs are the main reason why the 3d club are buying upgrades.

Why should the users even try to emulate knowing what is inside a computer?
If they don't then they should not even attempt to.
Just say "the big box under my desk is not working."
Suits me.
It'll take only one car accident bad enough to breach containment, it'll cook a lot of folks.

Is it not an election year? Is so, this DA is joyriding, trying to get more votes by playing havoc with a bunch of kids.
Kick'em out and get someone more sensible in there.
If the solution does not jack up the price of the program and the industry buys into it instead of getting bent out of shape over it.
