Looking at the ESA site, if we're thinking of going back to the moon soon and possibly bringing back a bunch of old Apollo systems, why don't we buy some of the ESA's ATV's and slap on a larger booster? seems like it'd be a nicer ride (once modified) than the old Apollo craft. With the added bonus of being a spacecraft that is actually in production (no need to try and re-invient the wheel).
Didn't Slashdot say Bush was going to announce Project Prometheus(go to Mars) in his last State of the Union? I think I'll just wait and see what he actually says in his speach before I get too excited.
So does anyone know which bill in congress this actually is? I'd like to sound somewhat educated when I write my representatives by being able to reference the actual bill and/or passage that seems to be so troubling.
Also, if anyone has a generic letter written for this issue, they should post it here to help encourage everyone to use it and write more of there representatives.
maybe cmdr taco and the bunch have some deal on some google ipo stock, and this is one heck of a way to make that ipo go through the roof but it's just a guess, everyone loves a conspiricy therory....
Using Linux over Windows really isn't what is making these laptops much cheaper (though yes the MS tax is gone now). The reason these laptops are this cheap is because the Thai government is subsidizing (sp?) the cost of the hardware, creating a "peoples computer." So nothing really new here in the world of competition, just something one government like any other could do.
I remember back in the day I with the likes of Sony or Casio, they all had handheld (and bigger if you wanted) portable tv's, we could take pretty much anywhere in the country and always get a decent amount of channels. So maybe there's a new market for this stuff? I better throw mines on ebay quick, make some good $$$.
Two things to note, first, if you haven't, please write your state senators and reps right now, either to stop the chance of this happening or hoping that in states that its too late, that they might review and amend.
Second, for all you fellow Coloradans, this is currently in the works (SuperDMCA), I think it's going to pass the senate without issue, so please those of you write your reps and senators and stop this one while we still can. Thanks.
or ourselves? I mean from the articles I've read, he's legally being held, thanks to all of you who didn't stop the passage of the patriot act. I mean I've seen it mentioned quite a few times in the articles that the patriot act has made this type of holding legal.
Mike just forgot to notice where. Why of course the government, we're about to spend hundreds of billions (if not trillions) of dollars on learning how to make war on the offensive side of things..... *knock knock* wait a sec, I'll be right back, Tom Ridge wants to talk with me...
its not a bathroom, but a recycle bin. it can go for awhile without emptying, just until you fill up a certain percentage of the house that you allow. actually, each partition of the house has one, though reliability can be flakey at times, oddly sucking away at all the other resources of the house (electrical, water, etc..). though for the most part works, but keeps you forever wondering why they call it a recycle bin

For $18,000 it should be able to breathe fire and bring burnination to any intruders!

Oh boy the excitement when Patriot Act II is passed.
Whats with this recent surge of evil bits stories? Is this some let-Bush-edit-for-a-day thing slashdot is trying out?
