Part of the point is that, there should be some solid matter. As for the point of feathers vs. lead, the feathers would quickly break up in re-entry while the mass of lead would take a slightly longer. It's a density issue.
Now I will agree that there is nothing about how the mass is shaped, but the post was based on the re-entry vehicle. and I am guessing that the engines of this beast will be rather huge ( based on the picture )
Mir was not a solid object, it had huge amounts of break offs and gaps within it's shell, little pieces that could break off.
if the space object has any real solid objects, like a 1 ton slab of iron, that could have a major affect. How bad, I really don't know. but I could guess that it would still be a heavy smack upon earth impact.
I guess I would rather deal with 20 incidents that are small than 1 big one.

Here you go, took me about 1 minute to find it, just requires some basic paperwork and you could have it on your desk in about 1 month or less. Yep it's class - IV
please review the aspect of control in the context of domain servers..com is controlled in the USA. it's the most popular one. I did not try to infer that we control the pipe ( transit ). just the control of the registry.
otherwise the rest of your point is very very valid.
as for "we paid for it" the fact are, we did, we developed it to a point that it became a public asset to Americans. afterwards when standards were more developed it became a world wide assets.
at the end of the day..com is the most valuable asset in the game. controlling that group means you control the entire game of it. nothing out their preventing anyone else from trying.
the argument you present is under patent law. stuff expires, some of the other stuff is public domain. so again you are out of luck.
we are talking about business and about control of the registry. there is nothing stopping someone else from creating a.business.... let them run that root server.
actually, if the root servers went completely down, the interest on money lost on the overnight would be huge. Banks would scream and so would all the federal reserve type money institutions. ( 18 hours I think is all the American fed wire is open ). the amount lost would force people to react.
It's very easy to answer that. It was created with US tax money. It was created for Americans and Europe to protect themselves from attack. it's been funded by the ton load and we paid for it. So at the end of the day, we own it. I'm writing to my senator and demanding that we don't loose it.
Worst case situation is that the rest of the world breaks off from the USA. I would guess that would last about 18 hours. then they would all come back.
Big industry needs us right now, so we still have the leverage.
I happen to disagree with you. I lived in the area affected and had no outages what so ever. outbound to europe, and I was in contact to my european counterparts durring this event and never encountered an issue
When the area was destroyed, the major hubs of Newark ( one of the top 3 most fiber and wired location in the USA at the time ) and Westchester ( white plains i think ) took the entire load.
the only people that lost connectivity were those ( isp's)that were in the peering location in WTC ( a few local isp's )
if you lost connectivity with Europe, then it was really that they had there servers in WTC.

It's amazing that we don't think along these lines of controlling what we can control. IE: the places where we stay and the ability to build structures that could reduce the amount of damage.
Hurricanes are the cooling system of the Atlantic, they help reduce the water temp. every time that the water is too hot, they come in and cool off everything. I am only speaking based on observation from fishing and I think I read it somewhere.
I would use those links as a guildline. Building a 99.9 file servers is easy, with the ability to find hard drive reviews and other system cards review a simple guildline would make it worth while. worst case it becomes a backup server
Qmail is most likely the best option, since it is very scalable. the web site for qmail is : http://www.qmail.org/top.html
you are going to have to add this patch for more than 256+ connection ( which you will need for safety's sake and scalability ) http://www.qmail.org/big-concurrency.patch
Now onto the server side.... well I use the basic thinking that each users will use 1 to 3 meg of space before downloading to there outlook account. You have some history, so check what the average file space used per user is. next don't forget to find out what the company's e-mail policy is ( do they have to save e-mail for xyz amount of time, back-up policy's... ).
next don't forget that no mater what, each user gets 3 pieces of e-mail per day ( that's my number that I use for configuring the server )... so with your needs you'll require a 2 cpu system ( of which you'll share the spam software ) and an excess of ram ( to run the dns blacklisting or other cpu/ram intensive operation ).
When I was walking to school with my mom as a kid in the 70's it was a 2+ mile hike, did it every day for 6 years, with tons of snow and rain ( hated those days ). then High School was 3 miles, I'd walk home but took a public bus in the morning.
I guess it was safer back then to walk to school. or maybe our parents knew to put us to bed by 9 or 10 pm so that we could wake up without a problem.
I take my daughter to school everyday that I am working by car ( 1km away ) but on my days off, we walk, somehow I wish I could walk her to school everyday.
Well, for a perspective of war, NYC would have been a major target, along with NJ and it's coast line. why, it's a hub, and hub's have to be brought down to reduce the flow of supplies. this is only during war, but if japan won, most americans would have become slaves to the new government. don't forget what happen to the Asians that were defeated.
as for the gassing, the American legal system had a check and balance that went lopsided ( the American japanese suffered in there own Concentration camps here in US soil ), lucky for us, the ability to kill in the manner that the Nazi's did ( racial purity upbringing and brain washing ) is not common.
your points are very valid, I bought my car to make sure I could survive most dangerous accidents that happen around my driving area ( most people in my area are consistently bad drivers with very bad lane changing habits, and running red lights ), that's why I choose stopping power and front crash survivability as my concerns.
as for impacts, funny... a mini cooper just hit me at about 25 from behind, while I was cruising down a one way street, he's a front wreck needing a tow and I have to repaint my rear bumper and air damn. no other visible damage till I get it to shop. lucky for him that his airbag deployed, i think it saved his face from a real bad smash. mine did not deploy due to the low speed ( i was doing about 15 ), but the most important thing is that he was not able to move my out of my lane due to my mass and cause another impact.
One thing about large cars that you do point out is that when they slide, there is hell to pay on impact. that's where the real issues come into play, small stop quick and recover quick, large cars you have to be trained to recover otherwise you will hit something.
I have no idea what you are talking about, I can fit 5 bodies in the trunk without issue ( about 4 monster suitcases )
as for comfort of the ride, taxis in NY... well what can I say, those cars are abused daily and the ride is very bouncy. try taking a 1000 mile run in a Vic and you'll become a convert.
as for crash test, it always ranks in the top 5 of safest cars for it's weight class, and has the shortest stopping distance ( that was my #1 major concern when I was looking to buy a car for 5 passengers )
as for handling, it's one of the tightest for it's class and if you do the aftermarket upgrades it will pull.85 on the skid pad.
Yes I'm a crown vic nut, the next thing is I'm tossing in a supercharger or a turbocharger, with water/methanol injection to increase the performance and mileage ( still recording my daily driving habits so that it will be tuned to max out mileage).
Well I drive a Crown Vic, the thing is a gas guzzler ( 25 mpg ) but I fit all 5 of us and a 500 lbs of luggage without issue. So my friend, you are the exception of the tipical family. most people don't have 7 people to fit.
But I'll agree with the statement Size=safety. I think I could withstand most basic impacts with my vic.
do I think SUV's contribute to the consumption issues, yes. is it as extreem as people portray it as, no. I blame mostly those super huge suv's for the perception problems.
Well, I lived in a small town that had it's own weird micro climate. Due to the way the valley that lead to the town is shaped, clouds would stall prior to moving over our town. so one part of our town was always getting rain during a storm and another was just getting the drops as it pasted over ( real weird but I would be able to watch the thunder storms for 1 to 2 hours before the clouds would force themselves over and do a quick drench in my area )
So I would not be surprised if a storm that was coming in the general direction of the solar field would change due to lack of thermal wind pressure
