What you don't realize is that in the current climate (the media being owned by the same people who make the weapons used in war e.g. GE/Westinghouse etc.) the news is right of center. In this case right does not refer to "conservative" and "liberal" but to "Laissez-faire Capitalism" and "new deal."
Also remember that this "liberal media" never grilled the current Bush on his war record, (being put on the "Champagne Flight" the name for the Texas Air National Guard, or that he went AWOL from it when he ran for congress (and lost) in Texas.
Conspiracies are conspiracies and damning the press (or anyone else for that matter) for believing that something wrong was right is silly. e.g. AIDS conspiracies.
Do I damn Bush, Cheny, et al. for lying about Uranium, WMD's, Terrorism is Iraq? Well yes I do but they lie a great deal more than the media.
Did you know that the Bush family was charged under the "Trading with the Enemy Act" and had all of their possessions taken away from them? Why? BECAUSE THEY SOLD WAR BONDS FOR THE NAZIS AFTER WWII. Is that a vast right wing conspiracy? No it's pure greed. I think that it skips a generation in the Walker Bush clan.
Also you use the word CENSORED like it was a guy in a dark suit that ran into the office whacked the author on the head and ran out with THE ONLY FLOPPY! Give me a break. Censorship happens at a level of editor's body language. It happens at authors wondering subconsciously if they should really run a story about PCB's and GE when they work at a NBC affiliate.
And for the record there is something wrong with being liberal. Are you fiscally liberal? Socially Liberal? Give me a break. Paranoid people find the holes, paranoid liberals are the Linux hackers of our social fabric. You make it seem like we should trust vertical social monopolies to find the truth. Do you trust Microsoft to find the truth in your OS? Then why would you insinuate that you can trust NBC/GE or Disney (you know the people who want to restore the power of oligarchy through unlimited copy right extension.
Use you critical skills on the media for 6 months then ask the same questions again.
Take a look at Sea Launch. This Boeing Russian coop uses two boats. A prep ship with Russian works tending the craft's engines and fully separated US section with the cargo. Once ready the craft is loaded on a moveable platform and fired into orbit from a nice spot near the equator.
The benefit of the Russian engines is that they require very little work between launches vs. anything made by the Americans... e.g. Delta, Triton, and the Shuttle... This was something of an embarrassment to Boeing because their newly acquired and very expensive launch vehicle Delta IV was superceded and rendered useless by the young smart and hungry Sea Launch. So it became hard to justify billions in capital spending on something that sucked compaired to the Russian engines, Zenit (I think).
You have a third option with a collection agency. Becasue they are your employee (you pay them) you have the right to fire them. You can keep firing collection agencies for ever. Just fire them in the first 30 days and the owner of th debt will have to find a new one. If you can outlast the owner of the debt you can annoy them away.
I think that any camera that observes the public should be part of the public domain.
The prime benefit is the ability to monitor police activities. It would just be an equitable way of distributing the freedom to observe. There is no way to stop the proliferation of cameras and the inherent undermining of personal freedom other than to open all the cameras to everyone. This of course would require an act of congress but what the hell we can dream right?
It makes sense to drop cargo off onto the SeaLaunch platform. Let the Army and CIA worry about securing the payload from the Russian workers on the prep ship.
Same goes for both Lockheed and Boeing's failed rocket projects. Both madly over cost and effort for systems that fail with alarming regularity. Sea Launch is by far the best launch system in the world. Those Russians sure made good engines.
As for manned missions let the shuttle fly a little longer and look toward the X-prize fight for some fresh blood in manned missions.
Rotary Rocket? Space Elevator? White Knight? LEO crane? All excelent projects... All good options worth some NASA money...
Oh wait we gave all the money to rich people! Thanks Bush!
Um? What about the Sun? Cosmic rays? etc. you are getting blasted ALL THE TIME. Ever drive under a high tension power line? It's all about how far the radiation can penetrate, how much enegry it delivers, if the target can be harmed, and of course if your even in phase to begin with.
You could walk through a megawatt X-ray laser and have no side effects if the beam is generated by a phased array.
You can walk through microwaves and not be harmed, e.g. 900mhz cordless phones and 802.11b hubs.
This is why the FCC and UL etc. are out there. Its not like we live our lives in a Faraday cage inside a lead box burried 5 miles down in a salt mine. If your worried about radiation don't fly during high levels of solar activity.
If your REALLY concerned with your health for GOD sake don't smoke, get some excersize, stop looking into the CRT, you know the electron gun that is facing your head RIGHT NOW, and above all don't get in a car.
Oregon State is considering this as well but just for mileage. Due to the increased efficiency in hybrids etc. the state needs to make up for lost revenue from gas taxes. One idea was to GPS and give a per mile tax on road use. I think it should be a weight mile tax to stick it to the heavy SUV's and I think it should double if you use spiked tire but I digress. Nothing like seeing some dumbass soccer mom in a Mercedes SUV drive down wet pavement in April and slide and extra foot when she slams on the breaks.
For the aim that this seem to be targeting (that humans are TERRIBLE drivers for the most part.) I think a better idea would be to get rid of the driver. Mercedes has had cars that can drive themselves for years. Make cars a peer to peer network based on GPS end points and simple rules. If I could read a book, watch TV, have sex etc. while driving. The fact that I can't speed and more would be more than made up for by getting a hummer while I pass men with small penises in their large gas guzzling cars.
Can't beat ceramics. How old are the clay tablets in IRAQ? I have been told (totally unverified) that people have been able to play back sound from the trim lines on ceramic pots. The idea being that when they dug the metal tool into the soft clay body on a wheel they transferred some vibrations into the groove. I'm sure you would have to correct for pitch (ceramics shrink in the kiln.) A small enough particle size and a slow enough firing technique and you could make some LP's that would outlast almost any other media. Hell they'd outlast the English language.
If Wired Mag was right last month and diamonds are now on the cheap we might get some nice CD's made from a diamond platter with Platinum wire. I'm guessing that would last a LONG time.
If not buy 30 different types of CD's and burn em all. If you data is really that important the extra effort can't be that great.
Buy a "Foodsaver" and vacuum seal all you data and throw it in a dark freezer. Oxygen and light break more things than you might imagine.
I love my heatsink fan combo. I got a Swiftech and a 80mm to 120mm adapter and a 120mm YS Tech case fan. It moves about 130 cfm at 45 d. Same idea applied to the CPU, granted I had to buy a motherboard where the CPU was far enough to the center of the mobo to avoid bumping up against the ps.
Here's a picture of a similar setup. http://www.dirkvader.de/page/swinging/bild -9.jpg
I know I'm saying that you could just go out and buy a CAT KE Flywheel Battery charge it up at night and run it down during the day. They are alreay doing it for phone switch backups because you don't need to replace Pb PH+ batteries.

These three items combined could make all this piss about hydrogen worthless. Every neigborhood has a gyromill (NO FLY ZONE) and evey house has a flywheel and you cars run on turkey guts. Why bother creating unessicary steps.
Q: Power plant in every home? A: No. A flywheel battery in every home.
Q: Bio-diesel? A: Fuck no. Why re-convert forestland back into soybean fields that deplete the soil? *see changing the world technologies
Q: Wind? A: Gyromills NOT windmills. Surface winds are slow and inconsistent.
Q: Solar? A: Space based solar farms to phased array x-ray lasers. Surface solar radiation is weak and inconsistent.
THE MEDIUM IS UNIMPORTANT. Hydrocarbons, hydrogen, kinetic energy, light, nuclear, or antimatter its all in the energy density of the source, that and e=mc^2.
Except Cartman's mom. She's WELL understood; known even, by many, many, many, men and women.
Don't forget that Aldof spoke a little German on the weekends. Or the IBM Germany employees who made the punch cards that allowed the Hollocost to happen.
Databases are just as powerful a tool for evil as WMD but we don't see Bush invading San Jose.
He wanted to make up his own language. All this story telling was built to explain nuance. Then he made the myth into narative for his kids. So it wasn't for mythology, mythology was a byproduct of languge.
So awefully stupid. So dumb. The Nazgul would have eaten him alive right then. Also at no point in the book did Frodo's downward spiral manafest as direct action to help the enemy. The ring was burden and trechery, it was not strong enough to hand the ring to the Nazgul, it powr was in seducing him to want to weild it for himself. No one who was controled by the ring would ever give it up to anyone. IT IS A RING OF DOMINATION NOT SUBMISSION.
Walk into the cult indoctrination center, walk up to the first person you see and yell "ARRRRRGGG!!! You're crawling with Body Theatans!!!!!." then puch them in the face and say "Next time you give your house away give it to me you pussy."
I care. I care that Jackson needless butchered the story for worthless reasons.
THE MOVE HAD MORE DRIVEL THAN THE BOOK! There is a full hour of drivel in the midle of this movie that is all garbage. If he had swallowed his pride and arrogence and stuck to the book it could have been twich as much action and only be a 2 hrs. movie.
The Wheel of Time was OK for the 1st 3 or 4 books now he can't even tie up all the plot lines. The last 3 book have not moved to story forward an inch. He doesn't have the ability to control what he created.
I already quoted Randall on this page about why ESB is the best StarWars. "It ends on such a down note." Which IMHO is why this movie sucked, the book ends on a down note but Jackson f'd it up.

Anyway rockets blow. The Space Elevator is the only long term launch option for serious interplanetary and interstellar launches.

You must also remeber that SETI has looked at 70% of the sky and hasn't seen anything we understand.
You must also remeber that they think the Galatic habitable zone is a much narrower band in the Milkyway.
You must also remeber that even w/o FTL it takes 370 million years to colonize the whole galaxy.
So where are they?
Why don't they call?
I have this gnawing fear that something REALLY nasty just happened and they are all dead. e.g. Vernor Vinge "A Fire Upon the Deep"
Fun with Scientology.
Walk into the cult indoctrination center, walk up to the first person you see and yell "ARRRRRGGG!!! You're crawling with Body Theatans!!!!!." then puch them in the face and say "Next time you give your house away give it to me you pussy."

CORRECTION. Not Glorfindle I appogize... it was Celeborn's captin from Lorian. I was wrong. So the elves coming to Helms Depp was MUCH less stupid.
It has an end in the book. Frodo is thought to be dead, Sam in alone in mordor. For the other characters Isengard is finished.
