I ran across a video of the car doing a cone course on a lot somewhere and it was amazing. All the weight for the car is at or below the axel of the wheels because the cage weights nothing compared to the battery packs.
I think you are missing the biggest advantage over electric. Bad ass loud 8 cylinder engines. Noise has got to be one of the biggest reasons people put obscene engines on cars / trucks.

This car has been on/. before but you may not have seen it. Of course it is a strictly commuter car sort of deal, what with the 80 mile range... but it has me looking twice. If they ever got it manufactured to their target price then I would be tempted to buy one (used) from someone else. hehe I still won't fork over the money for a brand new car, especially a future car like that.
But it would satisfy all my commuting needs. The only concern I have is the 4" clearance... They must not expect this car to be driven in a city with speed bumps.
Ooooo good ideas. I have almost always used commercial breaks to get up stretch, take a wizz, or get dinner out of the microwave (yes, the bachelor life) so this would suit me just fine practically...
However, the thought of someone actually trying to make it a legal requirement just rings as... wrong...
It could be that the information was not ever propogated from your DNS servers to the ones used by the WHOIS service I referenced. It took 5 hours (or so) for my DNS info to be pushed out across the net so that just the name would resolve.
Eh, not many stalkers chase the ones with their noses in sci-fi books all the time with geek t-shirts on, either!
Heck that is my favorite kind of prey^H^H^H^H ummmm nevermind.:-)
I used dyndns.org because they have a very slick automated web interface and have been quite responsive. They also are pretty cheap ($15 for a year registration) but that wasn't what tipped the scales in their favor for me.
Via the interface you can change all three contact's info. They also host Dynamic DNS entries for free so that a hostname can be auto-updated to point to a dynamic IP (cable internet etc). My roommate used this for a few years before needing more bandwidth and moving his server off our cable net connection to a hosting service.
Have fun with you registrar's tech support though.
I believe PO boxes are also allowed for WHOIS information purposes, and those are fairly good at turning away the lazy stalkers. Only the realy obsessed stalkers go further than that.
I also have all my info on WHOIS for a domain. But then again, I'm a balding mid-20s guy that has a concealed weapons license (and uses it). Not too many stalkers follow my kind.:-)
odd. . . it isn't working (for me) currently. Could it be a proxy issue? Not likely, since the last comparison entry you also provided a link to te nyud project. Thanks for providing the link. Too bad something isn't working (either their site, or the link process).
Your DNS information for the registered domain name Buran.org gives almost all the information any good stalker needs to know. Your name (possibly first name J. last name S.) your possible address (in Apt A), possible company (N. Technologies) and lots of other information including your phone number, which is different from your business phone number. Also included is another person's name, your technical contact, who's location was not revealed.
Sooooo ummm yeah. There is lots of info out there. As soon as anyone register's a domain name, they "bend over." Granted, the pants are still on, but potential for trouble is there.
To see what I'm talking about, just go to dnsstuff.com and do a WHOIS lookup an anyone.
Hehehe, please tell me you that you don't know the distance in light years to Orion off hand and that you made the calculation based on the post's made up number?
Cause if you did, that would be... either odd or amazing. I can't tell which.
right. this time people have business plans, and although there may be a lot of marketing jibberish it would be hard to ignore real data, real results, and real products.
There are always stupid rich people, jsut like there are stupid poor people, so that doesn't mean mony invested will be taken care of properly...
But the shuttle can eject the two SRBs (Solid Rocket Boosters) at any time and the three main engines of the shuttle itself are powered by internel fuel and the big foam External Fuel tank, which ejects after the SRB's anyway.
So in an emergency situation, the SRB's can be cut and the main engines shut down with out much hassle. Besides, it is all computer controlled anyway.
What Rutan possibly was refering to is that the Shuttle has automatic "scrub the mission" software that would have noticed the extremely out of profile flight patterns and scrubbed the mission (though a constant straight line roll isn't as bad as going off course)... where as his is pilot controlled so it could continue the flight, despite the abnormal profile.
Or he could be refering to the explosives packed inside the shuttle that would be automatically activated to kill it should the shuttle go off course so dramatically that it endangers a densely populated area.
I don't think it can be dot-com like. For one, there is a real product to deliver with measurable results. Not just hits and banner add revenue. You can't fake a space product, but you can fake a company whos deliverable is infinitely elastic in supply.
Gahhhhhhhhhh!!! Not everything needs government funding!
It shouldn't be some big tit that someone can just suck on for a little extra juice to keep on going (please tell that to the airlines & railroads...)
Besides as other posters have said, it was desigend to be privte avoid all the stupid red tape.
But your point about the state run groups is good. I would much rather have the fed hand out a contract to "develop X for us" with exclusive rights to the Fed, than have the Fed create a department to do "X".
Of course, national security concerns says that if the Fed ownes and wholely controlls the development of "X" then there is no company that could possible sue them for breach of contract, or accidentally leak data / information to the press, or other nations.
I don't doubt that new releases of these OSes will have the features... my whole reason to write the first post was because the ability to do so was so apparent and easy. With linux I have found nothing lacking in the "ablity to do it" department. The problem has been in the "do I know about it" department.
I should check out some new dists so I can get the taste of previous OS'es out of my mouth. IT would be like refusing to touch Windows again because of experiences with WinMe. (incidentally, I never had too many problems with WinMe, but then again... I used imaging SW so that once my apps and drivers were installed from base, I could juust wipe the OS if it got screwed, and rewind to a known state).
Yep.. the connection to the gateway was wireless USB () and the LAN port was PCI ethernet. The problem is, how would a user know to run parprouted wlan0 eth0? Was there a menu button on the config page for that connection device that displayed the option to forward the connection? That is what I am talking about.
If there is, then my guess regarding the "ease of config" (officially now a highly technical term) for Linux of its network devices is wrong. But I remember have issues back in RH6.x days trying to get it work forward, and to set up NAT etc (I know, a totally different issue than just connection sharing).
If you have to read a manual, or go looking for the answer to "can I" then the user doesn't know the ability exists.
I still have my RH6.2 system though it may actually be a RH7 box that I never did much with. I just turned it off about a year ago when I started using Cygwin/SSH for code development needs. I suppose I would use the linux system if I needed it, but right now a firmware router, SSH in to the CS dept's server (RedHat I believe), Cygwin, and Sun's java dev studio are all that I need.
I am talking from a user point of view.... Where is the option when viewing network connections in Linux (desktoop, or where ever) that even tells you that the option to do such an operation is available...
My experience with linux is antiquated, since I quit at RH6.2 when I ran out of spare time, got a full time job, and got carpal tunnel so that most if not all keyboard typing outside of work is unnecessary pain.
I will reword what I said as follows... I was amazed that it was this easy compared to my last experience with Linux.
Possibly an apples vs oranges comparison since I am comparing a new OS, to an old OS....

Good point. The admin coudl falsify information at their whim and get anyone they wanted fired... That would Not Good (TM).
