Admittedly so. (Pardon the offhandedness of my comment.) It seems likely, though, that ESA's priorities are different than NASA. For example, the ARD seems largely designed to be a dual-purpose vehicle, for both cargo and crew recovery. The X-38, for example, is mostly about getting the crew back from the ISS in an emergency.
The shuttle, on the other hand, is designed for manned missions, almost exclusively. It was designed for three main missions: sat. capture/recovery/repair, Spacelab-type missions, and space station construction. The ARD doesn't seem as close of a candidate for these types of missions (with the partial exception of Spacelab; LDEF seems right up its alley).
Do you have information about ESA's design/mission criteria, and why Hermes was scrapped while ARD was kept? We can talk about what Europe did and didn't do until we're blue in the face, but until we know why, we're just blowing hot air. It could be that ESA decided that they didn't need Hermes because the STS is around!
Interesting. I never heard that TDRS can handle ionization LOS. When they were doing their second-stage TDRS deployment (around 91 or so), the prevaling theory was that ionization blackout was unavoidable. TDRS was, at that time, just there to relay T&T while the orbiter was on the other side.
At least, that's the way I heard it. Do you know when the idea of using the wake to eliminate LOS originated?
when the STS yawed
To pick a nit: you mean the OV (orbital vehicle), or just "orbiter". The STS ("shuttle transportation system") consists of the OV, ET, SRBs, and some documents also say TDRS. Columbia was OV-102, but her final mission was STS-107.
However, the shuttle greatly compounds that problem by wasting half or more of the weight on just the same chunk of metal going up and down over and over again, only to give astronauts a much riskier ride.
So, you propose to use single-use vehicles to save on fuel?
After my DVD-ROM and CD-RW, I have my hard drive mounted in one (yes, you can get the brackets still), with fans on the face blowing over it. (Got that from Fry's.) The last 5.25" slot has a panel with four potentiometers controlling the fans. (Got that from pcmods.com, whom I recommend.) Wanna watch a movie in the same room? Dial down the fans and you can hear a pin drop!
Also, pcmods.com has LCD displays (always cool!), port boxes (convenient; has front-mounted sound, joystick, USB, Firewire, and mouse), and a bus monitor (for speed tweakers).
If you'd rather get creative and are mechanically inclined, build in a slide puzzle. If you're more technically inclined, a Cylon/KITT-style speedometer.
Be careful about how tightly you pack stuff in... too tight and you run the risk of having no circulation area near hot drives!
RSA doesn't need to be cracked for most applicatios, since the real-world deployments be cracked instead. From the inside out, here's a few: timing attacks, bad PRNGs, a bad timestamper that lets people submit arbitraty messages be signed, people talking on an STU-III before going secure, any number of Outlook or IE bugs that let arbitrary code be run, a user who got tricked into running BO, bad physical security, espionage, or just plain bribery.
Similarly, maybe Intel's device gets its reference timeclock from the chipset, or a crystal external to the chip. So what if that lead is cut? What if it's replaced with a slower crystal? There's bound to be implementation issues (if this is ever implemented).
The core technology may be secure, but that doesn't mean the system is secure. Read Crypto-Gram; Bruce talks about attacks against systems all the time, rarely discussing attacks against the ciphers.
Not just retailers. When I was in the biz, there were places along the distribution line that would remark the chip. Intel released a document on how to measure the height of the case (this was back in the normal socketed IC days), so retailers could tell if their chip had been shaved and remarked.
I have to say that the opponents have lacked in their arguments far more than its proponents.
The burden of proof must rest with the aggressor. I haven't seen sufficient argument from the Hawks that this war is just; I therefore do not need to see evidence from the Doves.
Did nobody here go through the special features on the DVD?
The organic web shooters are the only thing remaining from a 15-year old script that evolved into today's movie. The decision (and Stan Lee seems to agree) was made that it makes no sense for this 16 year-old kid to be able to invent a congealing adhesive that 3M couldn't.
In some variants of the "Peter invented the web" stories, he suspects that the spider passed on some genetic knowledge of the enzymes he uses. While not terribly plausable, neither is the whole "yellow sun" Superman theory we've all accepted. We, the audience, suspend disbelief when it's necessary to posit the story.
Personally, I like the homemade webshooters and Peter's other inventions (like Spidey-tracers), for the same reasons as operagost cites.
Remember - you are dealing with a closed source system. Kinda like being in a jail cell with the keys hanging on the wall outside that you can barely feel with your finger tips.
With the current TiVo, you can FF at up to 60x. So for 30 seconds, you'd need to buy a HALF HOUR of airtime. That's not a spot, that's an infoommercial... and good luck buying one in prime time!
Besides, what's the point, if retention is the same?
Personally, I already knew (anecdotally) what P&G found. I had noticed that I was more aware of what was being advertised after I got my TiVo. A little common sense made it clear why: I'm paying close attention to the screen during the FF. Ever see the "Max Headroom" movie?
You can mix and match Mozilla/Konq/Galeon with KDE/Gnome/whatever.
On this note: I just found out how to make KDE call out to other browsers. Normally, something like KNewsApplet will call Konq to open web pages. But on the file type association page, you can tell KDE to prefer Mozilla for text/html.
Just like a lisp machine (except 3d graphics somehow play into it?)
FWIW, one of the big apps for lisp machines was 3d rendering. Did you see "The Mind's Eye"? Most of that was done on lispms.
And I really like the lispm environment. I still have one on my desk, and really do use it from time to time. (Unfortunately, it's too slow for the computationally-heavy stuff I do these days.) In fact, I first looked at Squeak mostly because I miss the lispm when I do dev on my workstation!
True, you can use CW to modulate the signal, but there's a lot of practical limits to that. One of the biggest is data rate. (Data rate is often referred to as "bandwidth" because they're related, but they're actually difference.) You can't send a lot of bits using a CW signal; not enough for, say, a TV signal. If the signal is modulated too quickly, then you can't detect it.
Besides, practical transmitters tend to add some noise to the edges of the transmission, so it still takes up some bandwidth from that.
It wasn't until just now that I realized they weren't calling it "Mysterio". For those not into Spidey comics, Mysterio is a recurring bad guy who used to work for Hollywood...
Well, look at the phrase, Nothing in this agreement shall prevent.... IANAL, but I think this is saying that the license doesn't prevent IBM from using AT&T's concepts... but I don't see anything that permits it in your quote. So AT&T isn't giving up their patent rights here.
I've done the same thing. I can't smell very well (and I smoked a lot back then), and was facing away from the case, so I didn't know why my SCSI chain wasn't booting. I left it powered for a few minutes during a cold boot, warm boot, checking BIOS and host adapter settings, etc.
Later on, I inspected some of the components on that chain. Plextor 2x CD-ROM drive had two scorch marks on it, tape drive (I forget the mfr) with one, both worked fine. No visible damage to Seagate HDD or Adaptec 1542 controller, all of which worked fine for a long time after.
Reminds me of when I was selling PCs. A batch of MBs came through the pipe that were $60 retail. (MBs in those days were usually $80-100 for low-end ones.) I never saw one that ran reliably, but that's beside the point.
In that time, it was common for slimy MB manufacturers to replace cache with lumps of plastic, and just code the BIOS to report that it's there. Well, one day I looked at the cache chips on these two, and traced the leads... they weren't connected to anything but each other!
(Lots of people saw these MBs, but nobody knew the manufacturer's name. It took me all day and both the FCC and FTC databases to track down the manufacturer. If I made this piece of crap, I wouldn't want to advertise it either!)

Although the term "page elements" could refer to something other than text segments... say, images. In which case, it's just a caching proxy again.
(ie, the /. icons would stay cached but the text wouldnt).
You make a good idea: cache the /. text! After all, it's the same thing every day anyway...
Since my home uplink is 15k, it throttles my browsing. Is there an open source clone of this, or something similar?
I suppose you could get a start by turning on pipelining to squid in mozilla.

graphics/drm-kmod isn't going to be updated for 4.3.0.
Anybody know why not? And why no HAL support?
