It is apparently scientific fact that everything in a LEO will pass through the location of the space elevator. So it will be a design problem to track space junk and either eliminate it, move it, or move the cable.
One of those "times the rent" is probably what you're paying for your car and your gas, even taking into account the max $70 a month for the subways.
The other "times the rent" is just the surcharge for not living in the suburbs. For example, in New York City I can buy just about everything I need to live, see a band, and then go barhopping with a shorter walk than it would take me to get to the nearest deli in the suburbs.
They found a use for some old inventory and are running their webserver on a C64.
Interestingly, that's at least the second webserver to be made for a C64 - when I searched for it I was thinking of another one, which did not implement TCP/IP and had all the requests and responses sent over RS232 or something like that.
I used Windows' file sharing because I was getting at an example of something that didn't need a DHCP server, like this rendezvous thing.
I just think this thing is nothing that hasn't been done before or any excuse to get excited.
I also don't think it is the direction we should be headed - in general I find these sort of "serverless" ad hoc setups to be less reliable. From Windows filesharing with no server running it to Freenet to Gnutella, they can be counted on to work most of the time but definitely not all of the time.
On top of that, there's very few places with any sort of network that aren't going to have a DHCP server. Even two computers sharing a DSL line are probably plugged into a Linksys router.
You know Windows XP can find printers by magic too? When I was on a dorm network I had a list of about 50 different printers that I never lifted a finger to make. I saw them every time I went to print something.
You know, when I was living in college dorms everyone's Windows XP was able to magically find each other for file and printer sharing (without the help of a DHCP server as this Rendezvous does not need a DHCP server), but Microsoft never made a big deal of it.
It would probably be a while before people rode the elevator. The safety would have to be proven, they would have to design a livable elevator, and there might be some problems with spending too long in the Earth's radioactive belt.
The UN has more or less claimed ownership (well, at least control) of the entire universe excepting Earth.
Among other things it says that no nation can claim territory in space, and then says that all private concerns are bound by the same rules as nations.
Spontaneous power downs and reboots (if they are really spontaneous, i.e. no sign that Windows knows it is going to reboot) are my number 1 sign of hardware problems. Get a motherboard monitoring program to watch the heat and PS readings. Get a memory testing program and check your memory. See if you can get a HDD diagnostic program from your HDD manufacturer.

Because Windows fundamentally works differently when it is on a cheap computer than when it is on an expensive one.

It is a good thing the Japanese solved the problem of translation: ... ... ... ...

Did they ever make a peace treaty or was the United States technically at war with Israel until the (technical) sovereignty?

The house should last at least 25 years?
Shit, dude, if I was building a house that thing would be around until someone knocked it down. No crappy construction for me.

Israel bombed the shit out of Iraq's nuclear plant back in the 80's. I'm not sure that it was even operational yet, though.
Tim
But the nuclear plants are... NUCLEAR! OH NO!

My POST screen tells me that my processor is an xxxx mhz CPU, where xxxx is whatever speed it is running at.

So what happens if you find a winning can - does the army let you keep the prize?

Does anyone know if a monorail actually has any advantages over regular two rail operation and under what situations?
Tim
It sorta surprised me but it is true.
Septa from Philly to Trenton, New Jersey Transit to Penn Station in New York, NYC subway to Grand Central, Metro North to New Haven.
The transfers would probably kill your time compared to Amtrak though, especially if it wasn't peak hours.
Tim
The trains stop running at night and you can outrun it in a car, but you think that's excellent public transportation?
Visit NYC sometime. Trains 24/7 that are faster and cheaper than a car or taxi.

Congratulations on reinventing DHCP!

It would be best if they just died. They don't produce anything, and as far as I can tell are quite useless.

It is a good thing that no one listens to the UN.

I don't think NASA could build the Saturn V anymore if they wanted to.

It would probably be more economical with the same result if they just taught the dogs to piss into pint glasses.

Playing this game is one of the more embarassing things a grown man or woman can be seen doing.

Give them a computer to do it on too.
After all, if they forget a semicolon, they're not going to print out their code and read it in order to fix it.
