Don't know about the HTML5 demo site, but HTML5 itself isn't Apple's. It's an open standard. So go make your own demo site for cryin' out loud.
Besides, how does making a site browser-specific mean the end of the web or the personal computer? Your logic is faulty. If that were true then Microsoft and all the IE-specific sites would have already doomed the web.
The controller doesn't land the plane. The controller works with pilots to keep the airspace and runway coordinated and air traffic moving smoothly. That's an essential job, but it doesn't include flying.
After all, there's no way (in a short time) to MacGyver a cell phone SMS to an autopilot. And this plane may not have an autopilot anyhow.
The pilot followed standard lost contact procedures and augmented them with the call to the controller. The controller wisely used SMS when voice was lost.
Anyhow, the article writer's hook for large commercial aircraft is nonsensical since this is a four-seat aircraft and wouldn't fall under those rules anyhow.
You ask which additional degree you should get. But you don't say what you're interested in. That's like trying to pick a highway without knowing what city you want to go to.
Get an MBA if you're interested in business and want to advance to management.
Get a Masters if you want to be hyper-technical.
Get a Physics degree if you want to design computing systems in nanotech.
And get a clue that in the end knowledge counts more than degrees. That's why they're not asking for Masters degrees.
Gee, why not just get the MacMini instead of trying to find something else? You want a small machine that runs UNIX? This is it, it clearly fits your needs but you've got some Mac prejudice it seems. Get over it. You don't have to use the OSX UI if you don't want. Just cover the screen with terminal windows...:)
Mac isn't Mac like it was in the Mac OS9 days. It's just cleverly disguised UNIX now.
The total weight of the device is 2.5 Kg. And, all of that is already allocated to the weight of the airframe, instruments, or autopilot computer. In other words, there's not enough payload capacity to make a bomb.
Most non-pilots forget that you can't just load anything into a small plane. Weight and balance limits are very real and it'll only lift so much. Most small planes are limited to less than 1000 lbs, that includes the pilot, fuel (6 lbs/gallon) and oil (8 lbs/gallon) as well. Many are limited to as little as 500 lbs. And, that weight has to be balanced right as well.
Model airplanes are similiarly limited, but on much smaller scales. It's not like a car. The airframe has to not only hold the weight, but the wings have to have enough lift to raise it off the ground too.
I think it was probably designed to figure out how to do this, winning the X-prize was the motivation but not the goal.
It didn't have a spin on any flight, a spin is rotation about the vertical axis of the ship. It did rotated about the longitudinal axis (fore and aft), this is a roll not a spin and a much much more managable situation.
I'd personally like to see it fly again. I've visted the Air & Space museum a number of times and while it's nice to see the planes, it's a little sad to know they'll never do what they were designed to do again.
But, in the end SpaceShipOne was a prototype. Meant to make a path of knowledge to follow. It did that very well.
USA currently has over a dozen tethered blimps near various parts of the borders of the country. These are on a steel cable and are as high as 14000 feet above sea level. They exist to provide a stable radar platform for border patrol.
A quick search of the NTSB database shows no accidents with these blimps or with their cables.
This doesn't mean accidents won't occur, but the planes that fly at 65K feet would have more traffic conflict devices than those that fly lower. It's a big sky after all.
The user base size of the AOL AIM network includes AIM, ICQ, and iChat. It's many times the size of the MSN or Yahoo network.
This problem was created by AOL purging usernames no longer used (no activity in some very long time). They got carried away somehow, a technical error in turning off too many it seems.
Atanasoff made a presentation at University of FL (his alma mater) once that I attended. He said that he was trying to work out a way to solve differential equations automatically He took a long drive one night, and ended up at a roadhouse just across the Iowa/Illinois line (that part of Iowa being dry then). It was there, over his drink that he worked out the key details.
Perhaps the last days of politics as our parents knew it. But, the nature of politics of working out compromise to conflicting ideas and policies is, I think, a basic element of human social behavior.
Anyone who's worked in a new startup can see the creation of internal "politics" at work.
Katz's comparison to the Church is telling. Although somewhat arthritic today, the Church still has large amounts of control and a strong effect on large parts of the world. Traditional politics will also continue to have strong effects. Albeit as the primitive "reptilian brain" of social debate perhaps.
Traditional polictics will, I believe, be suplemented with many increasingly newer ways of reaching organized group decisions. I used to be that the only way groups of people were able to communicate was through heirarchies of politics, business, and religion. We now have ways of communicating and finding community with many others easily. Email & web, the killer app for self-organizing social groups. And, organization is what politics really is.
I read a report (years ago) that the learning capacity of humans was two bits/second. That is we can learn to distinguish four special cases of something more general every second.
So, assuming a 100 year lifespan, that works out to 6.31 GBytes/human. (Cautions all around on the validity of back-of-the-envelope calculations.)
Of course, learning happens in many more places than the brain. Anyone who doubts that try typing or riding a bicycle and *think* everything through before you do it. You'll either take a long time to type your name, or fall over.
Much "skill" type learning happens in more peripheral or lower nerve centers. Or, possibly even not in the brain at all but in the rest of the nervous system. I'm learning another language right now and I think this happens with language too.
You're talking about the telomeres on the end of the DNA molecules. It's a protein, I guess, but more a part of the DNA.
Telomeres are basically the gizmos that hold the ends of the DNA together. They shorten a little with each cell division. This is one mechanism to limit cell life.
Cancer cells have telomerase that remakes the telomeres to the full length. This is why they exceed the Hayflick limit, aka the cell lifespan in divisions.
Some bio people think that extending telomeres would be a key part of a lifespan extention program.
Sure! See Codewarrior from metrowerks . They make a very good IDE-based compiler-editor-debugger system. It includes PPC assembler as part of the C/C++ system for PPC.
Codewarrior also has compilers for Pascal, Java, etc. And it can target PPC, 68K, JRE, Wintel, and a number of embedded systems too.

So, it's clear that 6 GB is too low.
