Hmmm... My best bet is on the "space plane" sollutions. I can't see anything based on a helo realy working. Fixed wings are much more effiecient lifters.
What a bunch of B.S. I bet the people on the don't call list don't buy from cold callers anyway. Not to mention I heard it doesn't stop people you have a relationship, like your long distance carrier, from calling anyway.
I still havn't seen an independent organization that does performace comparisons that I would trust. If you need to REALY know, do the testing your self.
Sure it would be expensive for a private user, but for corperations it would be feasiable. I still haven't seen many companies do their own performance measurement.
Are sure about this? Arn't these sort of purchases shiped independntly in there own packages? How would you know what tax to apply? Is the shipper required to post a bill of sale on the out side of the package?
Sorry paying local tax is a good thing, its not fair to local venders. Lets be honist buying things on line and not paying sales tax is little more then a loop hole.
I can remeber when I used to say I was a hacker and that was a good thing. That was back when hacker was closer to the dictionary, a hacker or hack was someone who worked long hours.

After the bombing of the FBI building in Oklahoma, I was in Arkansas talking with a good old fashioned, gun owning red neck. He told me in a hushed voice, "You know, I wouldn't want to live in a country where you couldn't do something like that".
Being that the kind of controls required to stop such things would be so over the top, we would have no freedoms at all. Looks like the goverment is heading this way.
What does any one know about the Wow signal? Is it on the list? Has it ever been repeated? I met the guy who first heard that and the work they are doing is very interesting.
I have a close friend who owns a Hobby Store which is the local Games Workshop re-seller. It is hard for them to make a living with the availability of cheep online stuff. Most sell at a 10-20 percent discont, which is the REAL problem.
You can always buy online from GamesWorkshop web site it self. There is no dicount however.
I hope the Hobby Store can stay in business, they offer tables to play and gather. I lecture the kids at the store all the time when they brag about buying this and that online for 50-75% off. You should support the hobby store or not play there.
Eventually the trend will be one source for these things, and no local places selling. This is bad for the economy.
Has any one out there used Plato? This was my intoduction to computers in the mid 70's. It had document links just like a hyperlink. I don't think they were called "hyper-links", but the concept was the same.
Private funding is a big deal, but drug companies typically don;t put any more then 5% of profits into research (They have stock holders).
Goverment funded research can throw around a lot of money. Although I am sure that who ever finds usefull drugs or treatments from this research it will just be a lot of issuing of new patents.

I am convinced that computers will be solid state eventually.
List to radio on line. Commercials pay for thw I hear. Downloading music SHOULD be the same thing.
It is just going to take time for the industry to figure it out. I agree that the way groups will make money is by putting on concerts.

I breath 10 times for The Buhda before I write any Java.

I can't just see my self on the beach drinking a fruity beverage and surfing the web.
I heard on the news today that a Japanese probe was disabled by a solar flare. Does any one know some news source for this?
Can't you protect from this sort of thing?

Realy this has got to stop. If I write it with a keyboard, it falls under Copyright. If I make a with a Physical thing, I can patent it.
