. In order to gain access, a company would have to use Microsoft's "Passport" identity authentication system, then request and sign two forms - one of them promising secrecy - just to see the license terms and find how much Microsoft is charging for the information.
No, you are not signing an NDA to see information about the protocols or any source code or anything.
You are being forced to use a proprietory authentication system controlled by the guilty party and have to sign a legal agreement just to find out how you can GET the information.!!!
And what do you think you will have to sign+pay to access the protocol information itself?
Why did live TV coverage switch to long-range cameras right at SRB sep?
What is wrong with this whole picture?
It may be that before launch they realized that the camera would be smoked by the SRB separation rockets but being too late to fix they gave instructions to cut away at that point.
Conspiracy freaks will come up with plenty of other explanations.
Sit down around my feet youngsters and let me tell yer a tale of REAL hacking.
My school's IBM 1130 (size of a large desk, power of a pocket calculator) put out so much RF that you could place a transistor radio (Remember those? Nope? Didn't think so) on top of the CPU and when certain combinations of i/o were run would play music from the radio.

It doesn't happen often but when a user saved over an older version of a document in our DMS (iManage) we could count on Salvage to get it (or any other previous version) back.

If I took off *my* glasses my nose would have to be two inches from the screen.
The restrictions in the rules and the general tone of the web site indicate this is just a promo event for wankers to get pissed and chuck themselves off a low platform.
REAL birdman competitions, on the other hand start with platforms a good 10 metres high and include some outstanding entrants in the human-powered division.
I used to watch the Toriningen competition that takes place on Biwa Lake in Japan. Every year the HPA division would see increasingly insane distances that would have easily won the Kramer prize if it had been a straight line. The contenstant would end up disappearing into the haze over the lake and they'd have to send a chopper to follow it as the rest of the competition went on.
Nah, I liked his line about "...you don't want to be around when they light THIS candle" as you get an awesome view of a Soyuz rocket launch from about 50 feet away.

I should have written Lx.
I've dreamed about this type of colony since (and first saw that particular illustration) the 70's when Gerard O'Neill popularized the concept.
Lx space colonies are my equivalent of the flying car.
It's the 21st century! Where's my space colony!!??
Sarcasm challenged are we?
The picture is of the Stanford Torus design for an L5 space colony. Yes, named because it would be parked at L5.
The site that came from has all the neat pictures I used to drool over back in the 70's.
This!

This is very, very wrong.
An NDA just to find out what you will need to pay to get information which should be free???!!
Every day I use Samba I feel better and better.
After posting I found another, more complete video with the SRB sep and yes, bright flash followed by blurriness.
They might have assumed that at 2,800m/h the slipstream would blow back any rocket exhaust away from the camera. Those SRB rockets must be STRONG.
Why is this video only 1:44?
Why cut off before SRB sep?
Why did live TV coverage switch to long-range cameras right at SRB sep?
What is wrong with this whole picture?

Ever heard of: "You're getting old and showing it."
Got a lovely reminder of this yesterday in the dentist chair reminising with my hygenist about Bobby Charleton and the England squad of '66.
Thanks Spider.
White sport socks and all.
That is all.

Pepsi ran commercials several years ago for a contest in which the grand prize was a trip in space ("uchuu no tabi")
The ad ended with the squeeky female voiceover saying "honto desu!" ("It's true!")
Never found out what happened to the contest as I moved to boring Canada where the first prize in a contest would be weekend with a moose.
Which, ironically, I just yesterday finished reading the chapter on Simonyi.

Fantastic stuff.
Add to that the Imax theatre at Silver City Riverport at the south end of Richmond and the Omnimax theatre at Science World.
Now if all these Imax movie houses would just show the films I want to see.
