You have to do the same amount of work to get on object into orbit whether it goes up the elevator or it goes up in a free-flying machine.
With a free-flying machine you must continuously spend energy to overcome its falling toward the ground. All the time the machine tends to accelerate toward the Earth, and you have to spend quite a lot of energy to overcome that, plus the energy to accelerate upward.
You can experience something similar by running upward on an escalator that is moving downward. Certainly the amount of work that is accomplished is the same as if you walk up a fixed staircase, but you'll get far more tired, because in addition to the height you also have to overcome the downward movement.
Am I the only one......who is sick and tired of all the comparisons to the US?
Am I the only one who is sick and tired of Americans getting all touchy and whiney every time the US is included in some international comparison?
Look at the comments on this article. Lots of people are talking about how Sweden is way ahead of everyone else. Are other nationals whining about this? No! Only Americans are getting all touchy!
Don't be so fearful. The world isn't out to get you. Get some spine. Get some pride.
Judging by your description it sounds like Microsoft Exchange has a very primitive, very old-style spam filter. Filtering has developed a lot recently! I'm sure you'll get far, far better results with Thunderbird. It's well worth trying. One thing, I think Thunderbird's spam filters are off by default, so make sure you activate them (Menu "Tools" / "Junk Mail Filters").
It could include a home computer, a cellphone, environmental and other sensors, a health monitoring device, and a satellite TV receiver, to name just some possibilities.
They forgot to mention that it also doubles as a soldering iron.

No fear. Tightened security in some areas, yes. Some other preparations, some worries, etc. But no frequent talks about dire threats, no constant excitement, no fear getting reinforced whenever some politician opens their mouth.

Hey, virus writers, do you finally understand that you're wasting your time? I mean this must be the ultimate virus writer humiliation. Creating an email-flood virus is so easy that even totally clueless people do it by accident.

There will be a stairway for those who want to spend a lifetime climbing and an elevator for the lazy.
The first letters of sentwhat?
THe funny thing is that you actually believe that.
Sheesh, where do you get your beliefs? On the contrary, rich countries have roughly ten times higher CO2 emission per capita than developing countries. And the US is indeed among the world's worst polluters per capita.
Come on people, don't be so gullible. It's only 125,000 studies, how could that be in any way conclusive?

If I understand this webpage correctly your problem should disappear or be greatly relieved if you simply squatted.

I notice it more if someone spells "you're" _correctly_, rather than * it's * ubiquitous erroneous substitute, "your" (particularly on the web) .
* Sigh! *

War can make fundamentalists give up like 9/11 could make the US give up.
It's more likely the EFF is suing the board for certifying the manufacturers despite their refusal
Likely does not always mean true. Especialy not in connection with electronic voting.

I think SCO sucks as much as the next guy,
I suppose this "next guy" would be me, as I'm the first guy to reply to your post. Right?
You have some nerve, saying that SCO and I suck equally.
