The B-2 Bomber fleet is over twenty years old. Not the technology, but the entire fleet. We (congress) authorized the purchase and maintenance of these vehicles, but at some point they will need to be replaced. Now, not only that, but these planes fly 44 hour missions, the longest on record. There are only, now, 21 of these planes left. Just under 5% of the fleet was lost in this one crash. At some point they will either need to retire the existing fleet and put in a new order, or expect the fleet to fall off one by one just like this.
Still, we don't know if this was pilot failure or structural, but when you loose that much capability in one crash...it makes you think.

According to this, they are at a total of $11.5 billion now for the total... next round starts in ten minutes.
'We wouldn't term it strong, we would describe this as accommodating a certain element who needs more time.' So let me get this straight... if its not demand that's changing this.. and its a certain element who needs more time, well then I am going to guess that its Microsoft that needs more time to push out Vista Service Pack 1. Then hopefully Windows Vista will have the bugs out and customers will want to migrate.
So what are the best nerd shows out there right now? What are you looking forward to? Where do you turn to to find shows you would like?
The best place I have found to get real numbers on what nerds are watching is by checking out Couchville Buzz. This is a readout of what people are recording with their beyond TV setup (in bulk, not by individual). Beyond TV is like windows media center in that it requires a little level of technical know how to get it going correctly (large drive capacity, auto defragging, TV tuners), but not so much to the point that it scares people off like mythTV (well, used to... I haven't checked it out in a while).
On a side note: McG worked on "The O.C". Seth does not epitomize nerd culture in my book. So I am curious on what his marketing of nerd culture to the media will be.

Does it really matter if, because of how they are bent, you lose lift? IMHO: yes, here is why, under maximum take off weight of 254,000 lbs for the 787-9, testing at 150% means that a stress test of 381,000 lbs is neccessary. That will put a bend in the wing. If the full 381,000 lbs of stored energy is released in a heartbeat, you really ought to know where the structural failure will occur. By identifying that area, you are likely going to find the place that will have the most amount of structural fatigue and figure out where the places on the plane should be inspected the most, and have parts repaired or replaced.
On a side note, a picture of the device they built to test the wing can be found here.
I am not an engineer by trade, so I would love to hear dissenting views.
yeah, nova did a really great job covering this a few months back. What the person here is talking about is implementing a concept of Global Dimming. I can't really I say that I support the idea though. Instead of getting rid of the greenhouse gases, we are going to continue to literally mask the problem. Why not just solve the base problem?
Global dimming is the gradual reduction in the amount of global hemispherical irradiance (or total solar irradiance) at the Earth's surface, observed since the beginning of systematic measurements in 1950s. The effect varies by location, but worldwide it is of the order of a 4% reduction over the three decades from 1960-1990. This trend has reversed during the past decade. Global dimming creates a cooling effect that may have partially masked the effect of greenhouse gases on global warming.
I before you start calling your dell rep for details, or your broker to buy stock. Just remember one thing. Dell has been rumoring this for YEARS and they still aren't seriously carrying AMD products. They like to use this to try and negotiate the best possible deal from Intel. Incorporating AMD would in theorey be easy to do, but integrating it into its supply line would take some time... plus dell would have to pour marketing dollars in to make customers feel comfortable with the change (think of the experience with coca-cola classic and coke II).
Personally (and off topic), I would love to see this happen. But don't count on it any time soon.
I am self hosted as well.... That doesn't mean the tools I am using is getting blasted with this same attack, whereas infact it is. I am finding b2evolution is getting slammed with this same attack. *sigh* RFC 1087 needs to be given teeth.
RFC 1087 Ethics and the Internet January 1989
At great human and economic cost, resources drawn from the U.S.
Government, industry and the academic community have been assembled
into a collection of interconnected networks called the Internet.
Begun as a vehicle for experimental network research in the mid-
1970's, the Internet has become an important national infrastructure
supporting an increasingly widespread, multi-disciplinary community
of researchers ranging, inter alia, from computer scientists and
electrical engineers to mathematicians, physicists, medical
researchers, chemists, astronomers and space scientists.
As is true of other common infrastructures (e.g., roads, water
reservoirs and delivery systems, and the power generation and
distribution network), there is widespread dependence on the Internet
by its users for the support of day-to-day research activities.
The reliable operation of the Internet and the responsible use of its
resources is of common interest and concern for its users, operators
and sponsors. Recent events involving the hosts on the Internet and
in similar network infrastructures underscore the need to reiterate
the professional responsibility every Internet user bears to
colleagues and to the sponsors of the system. Many of the Internet
resources are provided by the U.S. Government. Abuse of the system
thus becomes a Federal matter above and beyond simple professional
ethics.
IAB Statement of Policy
The Internet is a national facility whose utility is largely a
consequence of its wide availability and accessibility.
Irresponsible use of this critical resource poses an enormous threat
to its continued availability to the technical community.
The U.S. Government sponsors of this system have a fiduciary
responsibility to the public to allocate government resources wisely
and effectively. Justification for the support of this system
suffers when highly disruptive abuses occur. Access to and use of
the Internet is a privilege and should be treated as such by all
users of this system.
The IAB strongly endorses the view of the Division Advisory Panel of
the National Science Foundation Division of Network, Communications
Research and Infrastructure which, in paraphrase, characterized as
unethical and unacceptable any activity which purposely:
(a) seeks to gain unauthorized access to the resources of the
Internet,
(b) disrupts the intended use of the Internet,
(c) wastes resources (people, capacity, computer) through such
actions,
Not exactly... 1 pass is good enough if you pass over it every night. 6 is good, 8 is good for immediate secure delete... 7 is just standard for the government.
Because good erasers zero out the bits at the end. That way there is no way to recover it... pseudo data is generated off an algorithm... which in theorey can be broken.
Pseudo random data 7 times over... then zero it out.
IANAL - But i used to work for a bunch...
legally speaking you should install eraser and allow it to wipe nightly/weekly then this isn't an issue. If you do it on a regular schedule... your more likely to be legally covered.
For example:
You destroy a bunch of files before a warrant comes to you... you are busted, but if you destroy your files, one per night every night as normal upkeep you have the same nothing as before... but you arent in trouble cause its scheduled destruction.
similar to insider trading: scheduled sale vs. impromptu trading. If you sell just to sell... and the stock takes a dive or jumps.... you could be liable for insider trading (assuming you have insider info). But if you sell a certain amount every month.... you cant be hurt in court no matter what jumps its doing.
wipe that hard drive every night....OR do not store the contact info on their computer and you are fine just say you like paper records or a roledex.
My biggest gripe about eBooks stem from the pricing model. They seem to run just about the same cost... But you are the only one who can read it (legally). But with a book, you give a copy of a good book to a friend and they enjoy it.
You are getting less functionality for the same price... only because its in paper and ink.
The professional thing would be for CIO to not be smoking dope and getting all paranoid.

I was at blockbuster the other day and rented the Longest Yard, then took it home. Much to my suprise, the DVD blocked the watching of the movie on my computer. I took the DVD to blockbuster, and told them that I was cancelling my blockbuster pass because I was unable to watch movies on my computer (I have no normal TV as everything is ran through the computer using beyond TV). I figured that should put the most pressure on the MPAA. If blockbuster lobbies against MPAA because their revenue basis is dried up, it should make a good battle where only consumers win... i hope.
I think that a lot of people are jumping on the "I can get rid of the copyright protection on my CD/DVD/GAME/Etc...." band wagon. This isn't exactly correct.
The company involved owned the software... outright owned it. You must remember that when you purchase a copy of 99.99999999% of all works, you do not own it, rather you purchased a license for it. Bascially, they are saying you may mod your car or house, because you own it, but they haven't said anything about licensed software.
Hmmm... Offsite storage for the United States... Satellite Launch?
Seriously though, what medium would work the best for this? At this point I think that hard drives cost just as much as Ultrium tapes, for just as much storage. Seeing as tapes die so quickly, you may as well back them up onto true hard drives, then just let them sit for a few years. After ten to twenty years, carry it forward to the next big storage medium.
Do not forget about the rising price of movie prices themselves. Look for yourself at how much prices have gone up here. I can tell you inflation was not that high.
Look at other emerging markets. Tivo: It used to be that you would go and watch a movie when there was nothing on television. Now you can watch the shows you want to see on TV (and there are a lot more channels to choose from), when you have time. Going to the movie theater is now far more inconvenient than it used to be.
Another emerging market: Video games... With a limited amount of entertainment, dollars available and those funds are currently shrinking... Something had to give way to pay for the emerging video game market.
Simplest answer: Movies are no longer having their competitive edge that they once did.
