The Outer Space Treaty represents the basic legal framework of international space law. Among its principles, it bars States Parties to the Treaty from placing nuclear weapons or any other weapons of mass destruction in orbit of Earth, installing them on the Moon or any other celestial body, or to otherwise station them in outer space. It exclusively limits the use of the Moon and other celestial bodies to peaceful purposes and expressly prohibits their use for testing weapons of any kind, conducting military maneuvers, or establishing military bases, installations, and fortifications (Art.IV). However, the Treaty does not prohibit the placement of conventional weapons in orbit. The treaty also states that the exploration of outer space shall be done to benefit all countries and shall be free for exploration and use by all States. Outer Space Treaty
I don't think you actually read the treaty now have you.
Dude get over it, the cities were ligitimate military-industrial targets, the cities recieved proper warnings before the attacks which they ignored and the intensity of the attacks were similar to what other cities like Dresden and Stalingrad had endured. Calling the bombings of Nagasaki and Hiroshima a warcrime trivializes the term when compared to the Nazi's Final Solution or Japan's Bataan Death March
You left out the countries and NGOs that fall into the "Enemies of my Enemy" catagory, we've been known to deal with some really bad people to help counter some even worst people. Seems to me that many of these really bad people are worried about what Assange and to the point where a oneway ticket to Gitmo would be like being placed in protective custody!
All servers will display an increased load how ever
In my experience, servers that are heavy on dynamic content tend to be impacted less by HTTPS because the time spent encrypting (SSL-overhead) is insignificant compared to content generation time. HTTP vs HTTPS performance
yet with web 2.0 type stuff with lots of ajax
Many, very short sessions means that handshaking time will overwhelm any other performance factors. Longer sessions will mean the handshaking cost will be incurred at the start of the session, but subsequent requests will have relatively low overhead.HTTP vs HTTPS performance
all of the connections are going to kill you. The short answer is 10-20% but YMMV. No idea what happens when you start adding in Google adsense and other third party crap.
it's always in addition to what the PHP/Perl/Python/Java uses. On say slashdot you have multiple servers sliced horizontally so each section can be on a separate server if desired as well as vertically so you have web-servers on the outer layer, Database caches in the middle, and the database itself on the inside; or on other sites you have the web-server and database server all on a host shared by ten or twelve virtual hosts. The load that a slashdot can service probably wouldn't be much of a problem going all https, but a shared host would easily get into crash and burn situations.
HTTPS take more processing power to encrypt and decrypt the traffic, frequently enough traffic flowing through marginally usable server will completely crash and burn if all of the traffic were encrypted; it's like normal traffic would cause a site to be/.ed.
That what the law says, they have to consider the existing contracting companies, not just blow them off because they are old school and something new is wanted. The congress-critters from Utah are trying to make it sound like the law prefers existing contractors, rather than keeping them in the game.
Essentially the other issues are that solid boosters are smaller and cheaper. But this comes with a huge problem as well in the forces that the thing transmits to the ship and cargo as well. A liquid fueled rocket will get up to speed much more slowly and in a smoother manner.
That's more a matter of throttle up rates and thrust to mass ratios, solid fuels can have their formulations tweeked in various ways to provide different thrust curves as well as varying between port burning and end burning. My bird had a dual thrust solid fuel engine, it had high impulse fuel to about half the motor length in a port burning configuration, the rest of the motor had lower impulse fuel that burned in end burning configuration, the motor was initiated in the middle.
The main Shuttle engines do the steering, so the make sure they are lit before lighting the SRB's which are the main lifting motors. I wonder if the shuttle could even get off the pad without SRB's?
In fact I just read the Republicans are pushing for yet *another* war, but this time against Iran.
That's not an *another* war, but a logical continuation of the present series of battles. We probably would have been able to let it go after they had their revolution, the Carter administration seemed ambivalent about the shah, then they siezed our embassy an action that has since defined our relationship with Iran. The whole Iraq thing was a proxy war with Iran and regaining control of our out of control lap-dog on Iran's Southern border; Afghanistan on it's east; they are slowly being enveloped. Every time we get distracted and would probably just forget about them they go and do something stupid and refocus negative attention on themselves. The Palestinians are just as bad, every time we get fed up with what Israel does, the Palestinians do something worse.
What are you some new kind of astroturfer? Your claiming to agree with the objectors yet link to these Millimeter-wave scans where what people are really objecting to is these near photo quality scans. With the millimeter wave scanners there is nothing anatomical that is really visible they could do 100% with the magnatometer and mm Scanner and it wouldn't bother me. The Millimeter-wave scanner is passive, it's not irradiating you at all, it's just scanning you in a wavelength your body happens to be glowing in vs. the z-scatter that is active, the machine irradiates you.
I might just get some SPF 1000 with barium sulphate enhancement for the next time I fly.
I just can't seem to shake the feeling that not flying is what they want and this whole security theater is really about eco-fascists punishing people for using an "un-green" mode of transportation as an under the radar carbon-tax.
I have to disagree with a statement you made on your blog, the mm wave scanners have by nature at least an order of magnitude less resolution than the z-scatter machines, which greatly minimizes nudity issues verses the near photo-quality z-scatter scanners. The other thing I'm wondering about is machine registration, at least in Michigan, all commercial radiation producing machines have to be registered and tested by the state, yet it doesn't seem like a real Health Physicist has ever gotten his/her hands on one of these machines.
That's basically correct, the energy of X-rays are usually talked about in terms of voltage, dental X-rays are in the 65-85 KV range and are filtered through 2mm of aluminum to reduce the softer, lower voltage photons out. Medical X-rays run in the neighborhood of 145KV and I have not idea if they are filtered or not. Each Voltage range has a different dose-curve, which tells how much energy is absorbed at each depth, the curve is a Gaussian so some will be reflected at the surface as well as some will penetrate completely through no matter how deep, but at some depth the maximum absorbance occurs.
If some kid posts a clip of a TV show on You Tube, under this 'law', the courts could block access for every single citizen, even though YouTube is not directly responsible for that kids' actions.
Not really,
`(a) Definition- For purposes of this section, an Internet site is `dedicated to infringing activities' if such site--
`(A) primarily designed, has no demonstrable, commercially significant purpose or use other than, or is marketed by its operator, or by a person acting in concert with the operator, to offer--
`(i) goods or services in violation of title 17, United States Code, or enable or facilitate a violation of title 17, United States Code, including by offering or providing access to, without the authorization of the copyright owner or otherwise by operation of law, copies of, or public performance or display of, works protected by title 17, in complete or substantially complete form, by any means, including by means of download, transmission, or otherwise, including the provision of a link or aggregated links to other sites or Internet resources for obtaining such copies for accessing such performance or displays; or
`(ii) to sell or distribute goods, services, or materials bearing a counterfeit mark, as that term is defined in section 34(d) of the Act entitled `An Act to provide for the registration and protection of trademarks used in commerce, to carry out the provisions of certain international conventions, and for other purposes', approved July 5, 1946 (commonly referred to as the `Trademark Act of 1946' or the `Lanham Act'; 15 U.S.C. 1116(d)); and `(B) engaged in the activities described in subparagraph (A), and when taken together, such activities are central to the activity of the Internet site or sites accessed through a specific domain name. Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act
I would think that Youtube would have a demonstrable, commercially significant purpose. The part that worries me is that this bill would task the USG with going after these "Internet Bad Guys", yet shielding the complaintants.
You say that like if you take the idiots cellphone distraction away from them they would just look for that song on their ipod, or program the GPS or even change their 8-track tape instead; idiots will be idiots. How about tying their tie or putting on their eye makeup, changing their pants, bras or shoes.
For this to really work, the car would have to lock the phone, rather than jam or block the signal, then the phone would still be able to call to recieve from 911 centers. Maybe a bluetooth signal from the car to the phone would work.

How about:
ad logicam Claiming a proposition is immoral because it was presented as the conclusion of a fallatious argument.
my back of napkin calculations show it 694,296 lbs too heavy to lift-off without the SRBs.
My bird would not even arm its warhead unless she hit 10Gs at launch and that was on a motor designed in the '50s.
Saddam = our out of control lap-dog,
We would have forgotten about the Taliban too if their buddies Al Queda didn't get carried away on 911.

Hybrid engines are throtleable, and less likely to create a fireball that the escape rockets can't out run.
