There were these things for disabled mac users. They were clear plastic that went over the monitor that you could use to control the cursor. They had standard ADB input, so drivers weren't an issue, you just set the cursor speed to 'tablet' in the mouse contol panel, in other words, a one to one movement ratio. Easy to do in Linux, right?
Now, if you can find one of these, you could concievably get an adapter to hook the ADB to USB and use a G4.
Now you have a touchscreen/pen based Linux/BSD box.
Size of a book? It better be the size of The Art of Computer Programming (Knuth). Most of the material would burn off. You would need to make it out of the silicon-based stuff the shuttle uses, and then reinforce it. In order to build it most efficently, it would need to be shaped like a water droplet (I forget the scientific name) as this is most aero-dynamic.
At any rate, due to material loss by heat, then loss due to impact, why not have it separate from the craft, then transmit the data, then burn up. This would be easy, just set a 24 hiur looped recording on a certain frequency, and leave it on. If it doesn't work, its not like a chunk of charred GPS components and silicon are gonna survive any more then a radio in space would.
The geek culture is such that we are all still obsessed with goodies. The equipment is very new, its still fun. Some grow out of it, others never do.
A similar situation: Walk into a large restaurant where the chefs have been employed for a while. You notice that they are either very large, or downright lanky. Some like food always, others got to dislike it, so they keep it at work, except when neccisary.
Ahhh, thank you for clearing that up. The shutle can still handle it though. Hell, the oldest one (columbia) took up the Hubble.
I was assuming Navigational gyros which are spin at a very precise speed. Any change in speed along any of the axes is measured to determine the spatial shift of the object. subs are accurate to some ungodly precise number, something like ± a foot for every 500 miles traveled
Dude, a navigational gyros are small. They are not the size of the docking module. Even Subs use them. THey are about the size of an iMac if I remember correctly.
You are ignorant. What do graphics cards have to do with weather? Well, weather prediction involves complex 3-Dimensional modeling. Thus requires fast polygon rendering. And perhaps this mean that instead of 2D overheads, we will be able to 'zoom' through a storm. This would benefit pilots, who fly at different altitudes depending on weather.

You, dear AC have never attended the Pasteur institute, or french poly. NOR any of the german schools. You haven't attended the competitive schools in Japan. In your US of A schooling, did you take AP classes? those are nothing compared to IB courses and their tests.
All of the above listed are generally free to those able to pass the rigors involved. Darwanistic Capitalism applies to education as well.
Now I must disagree. Nitroglycerine is made by combining Nitric acid with glycerin, very simply put. The second step to the process is filtering all the excess Nitrc acid out of the 'soup' Now why is this important? Because nitric acid makes Nitroglycerine unstable. Now, pure nitroglycerine is MUCH MUCH more stable then it is with impurities. There is actually an equation for the temperature of spontanious combustion based on the amount of Nitric acid left in the mixture.
Now, making a grenade out of nitroglycerin is easy, you just do the same thing you do with TNT and dynamite. You mix the Nitro with fine-powder sawdust, and it holds it in an easly managable paste.
oops, I might not have been clear, oh well. But generally, I think the issue is that South Africa will unfairly administer the domain, and is incapable of doing it themselves
If someone is making money off of YOUR patent, you should enforce the patent. If a company is using your patent to harm you in some way, it should be enforced. Also if they are developing something with the intent to harm.
I think though, that if a person is doing research or developing something for their private use, then leave them alone. Same goes if the are developing for an open-source project.
ICANN is outdated, we have slowly come to realise that. The South African government, olong with many other world governments is just not fit to administrate a top-level domain.
Generally, democracy has worked when dealing with internet regulation. any way to bring a democratic solution to this?
Also, although south africa has guns, ICANN has the backing of the people who control the equipment (DNS servers...)
Usually with sports gear, one tries to make a long-lasting product. Piezo fibres seem like they would wear out fast, and the handle components would need often repair. I suppose it doesn't matter when you have Nike as a sponsorer....
Now, many metals have been developed that have a 'memory' I am surprised these haven't been used in conjunction with the common carbon-fibre thread used now.

somewone watched Hackers one to many times....
Overlooking the fact that his password was his name spelled sdrawkcab. Which is VERY bad password security
Well, if they are this clueless, they are probably using Windows 2000 server.

Of course, there is that plank.......

Can't we all just get along?
Now Mandi, have you ever dried your hair in the tub?
What happens when 120 volts goes through water?
Now what happens when your laptop shorts?
Thats VERY expensive.
If you really want to do that, consider getting a hardened laptop.

yard? uhm he lives in an apartment.
But he should go wireless
1) I ment to post AC as a joke
2) don't take it so personally
3) My girlfriend will disagree with your assumed measurement.
4) There is nothing wrong with being uncircumsized.
5) I didn't mod you down, because you can't mod and comment in the same post
6) see number 5 dumbass.
Thanks
Now I know why I filter ACs. The Hubble was taken up by discovery. see the above couple of posts
Hmm, mayhaps I mis-remembered, Was it Chandra that was Launched by Columbia?
Ahhh, thank you for clearing that up. The shutle can still handle it though. Hell, the oldest one (columbia) took up the Hubble.

How long until inept-NASA-engineers-who-can't-drive pilot a capsule into the main truss?
