Just a wild guess here but at 65,000 feet it gets mighty cold, and most fuel get pretty thick when it gets mighty cold, but most aircraft don't stay up there long enough to let the insulated fuel tanks get cold. This aircraft on the other hand is going to stay up there a long time, so they would have to use engine heat to keep the fuel warm enough to pump, but engines that make a lot of waste heat aren't very efficient, and have a big IR signature! So the obvious answer is to use hydrogen which wouldn't gum-up until something like 3 degrees k!
most enemies are either primitive or made that way relatively quickly, add in a bunch of fiber glass and carbon fiber which keeps radar cross sections low, and flying at medium altitudes; yeah the thing would probably last a while. Don't forget that shooting at something like that is like walking around with a bull's eye painted on your back.
One of the first games I ever played on the computer had a "Boss" button which out of curiosity i pushed and the stupid game crashed back to the command line, so I restarted the game and did it again; by the time I figured out what the Boss button was for I the game running in a DOS command.com running inside the game, running in the game running a DOS command.com running inside the game, running the game in THE command.com in DOS. Who ever said "64 K is enough for anybody" obviously didn't play that game.
That not what the law was about, the law was about a pornographic content producer being require to on record the name, address and age of the people who were photographed. The excuse for the requirement was so law enforcement could insure that minors were not being used; the reason was to put a chilling effect on the porn industry when the models and actors realized that they were forever identified and those records could be searched at will by the police.
Comparing the number of totalitarian human rights abusing countries around the world that are begging to get their asses kicked, compared to the amount of ass kicking that has actually happened; I'd say we've shown remarkable restraint.
Jerry Pournelle was great, I always read his column first, and computer companies always sent him equipment and software to review because Jerry could break anything, and if your stuff could survive Chaos Manner, you were made. He's on the web at Chaos Manor Reviews if your jonesing for a fix of Jerry.
These guys aren't really conservatives, they are sociopaths, and they will always think that the laws either don't apply to them because they are special, or that the laws shouldn't apply to them because they are special and the reason the other guy got caught because he wasn't good enough.
Screwing with IBM, not something I'd encourage businesses to do, deep deep pockets and lawyers that eat companies at coffee break like some people eat bagels!
So how do you measure 3 Mbits per seconds, it it 180 Mb for a minute, 3Mb for one second or it it 30 Kb for a tenth of a second? It's not fraud it's marketingdroid speak, it's Snidely Whiplash telling Nell, "But Darling you should have read the contract, there is no level of service in it, you got what was advertised once".
If I was Comcast I'd be mirroring everything under the sun, proxying almost as much, and have my own servers dishing out the most popular torrents, well I would if there really was anything to all the whining about bandwidth being expensive. If the operating methods were the proxy and mirror servers gets the fast-expensive backbone, and the non-proxy gets the slower-cheaper, they'd save tons on bandwidth expenses and users would be better served.
MS investes in cable TV. Ubuntu Gutsy is due out. They recommend using a torrent to ease the load off the servers and mirrors. Comcast throttles Bit-Torrent. MS has had a woody about getting into content provision for a decade or so, so it seems that MS and Comcast are as likely to be competitors as to be business partners. Look at it this way 10 years ago they bought an encyclopedia, next they started MSN, after that MsNBC, they are slowly working their up the food chain in typical Microsoft random hit or miss until something works fashion. If I were Comcast I'd figure what is bad for Microsoft would be good for me.
Michael Crichton M.D. certanly isn't anti-science, a gad-fly maybe, his writing does prod the "climatologists" to a higher standard than they had been acustomed to; at any account he's certainly more qualified than Al Gore is.
Seriously, I was using mozilla on win XP SP2 and the site popped a few pop-ups through and the CPU utilization pegged at 100% for the mozilla process and stayed that way. My home machine is Linux so I really don't worry about that stuff, so it did worry me on the machine at work, I though I got p0wned. Now that I'm home I went back there and after showing a nice pretty rendition of the "My Computer" in windows XP and telling me that I had the a "system error" of running Opera 9.24 In Linux, they asked me to install an ActiveX control, but I saved it instead.
I just installed lm-sensors on my machine, I can watch everything from core voltages to fan rpms using either a commandline utility or two kde utility one of which is supposed to be able to monitor multiple machines on a network which I am not able to test.
In general, corporations are competing on things completely unrelated to the software they use, so they could care less if their competitors get to use the features they pay for I'm not sure I completely agree, if your software matches your business methods, then releasing everything reduce your competitive advantage, if it doesn't your missing out on the real benefit of OSS, make your software fit your business rather than forcing your business to fit your software.

Of course, less fuel, less weight, better mileage; run completely out and your mileage goes through the roof while you cost to a stop.

If your running as a LUA you only have to scan your shared folders and your user and all-users folders, a virus can't get into anything else.

Probably but how about things like software updates for medical equipment?

At least she didn't tell you she saw the crab crawling across her eylashes.
We used to have the domain poiuyt.com, you'd be amazed at the volume of email that qwerty@poiuyt.com got. Lost passwords for porn was common.
I alway write 13 and above as digits and twelve and below as words in papers, I think it's chicago.
