If the first spacecraft moves it significantly why not just keep throwing those at it. If you are planning on moving this thing by the micron then the first can't be all that innacurate because you'd never be able to nudge out any drastic error. Just keep throwing the firt at it until we're OK.
Where'd you buy your jump to conclusions mat? There is just about zero evidence that he was/is heading to Gitmo, my god he's pasty white even for a Brit. That is simply his excuse to try to leverage the UK to not uphold there half a treaty. Now you can argue your opinion of the treaty all you want, has nothing to do with the case at hand. The guy accessed like 90 DoD/NASA systems. The fact of the matter is he sees himself smarter and thought himself untouchable. Oops. Miscalculation. Sucks to be him.
Almost all of you miss the point. The law does not require security to be in place in order for it to be criminal. The fact that you can do something has zero impact on whether you should. Something is criminal becase of the act that has occured, not because you weren't stopped from doing it. That's why you often have multiple charges brought against a criminal instead of just the final act. Leave your house unlocked and it's burglary. Lock your house house and it still happens then it is breaking and entering and burglary. Do you weight the burglary crime any differently? I think most would say no. Same thing here. He's being charged because what he did was illegal. Has nothing to do with how he did it or whether he should have been able to, just that he did.
Should you also argue a speeding ticket because the car doesn't have a limiter on it that keeps you from speeding? Or a parking ticket because all meters should now text message you an update when it's about to expire.
The argument is not that they should not have security in order to protect data they deem important. The argument is that the lack there of does not reduce the severity of the crime.
Personally, I take the opposite view on this. DoD shouldn't have to. Typically the victim in a rape is not blamed, yet for some reason that logic doesn't apply here? This isn't even a case where you can claim the DoD deserved it by leading the guy on by wearing a skimpy outfit. These systems were just sitting there and he went out of his way to do harm. Not much else to say past that.
Guess he should have thought about that a little earlier. People are responsible for their own actions. What did he think would happen? Nobody's fault but his own that he didn't think things through well enough.
This was a better deal in the good old days before law suits ruined everyones fun. For developing the shuttle toilet (ISS uses the russian toilet) there were company sanctioned keg parties after hours in the company park to help the collection along. True story. This was at the CT site, before the TX existed.
The article doesn't get into much more than the toilet, but the full cycle will be to feed that into WCS (waste collection system) which will then go into the OGA (ox gen assembly), with end result being O2 to breath and H which will probably be tossed overboard unless they decide to add the sabatier unit to it which will take CO2 and H (plus catalysts)to produce water and methane. The theory behind it is that up to 90% of the O2 needed for a trip to Mars can be gotten from personal water intake and humidity.
Except that NASA and thus almost all of their subcontracors already have a pretty stringent drug policy in place. They can basically test you anytime they want. No reason to sneaky about it.
No it isn't. Its currently collected and then tossed out with the rest of the garbage. Startig in the Fall when the WCS comes on line it will actually be used. While it's certainly potable after processing the likely hood of that is pretty small for the ISS. For whatever reason the astros are against drinking their own piss even after processing, and they still hold political clout when it comes to policy.
The WCS will enable it to be collected and then fed into the OGA to produce O2, and H. the H being dumped overboard. This is actually a critical process for any chance of going to Mars. It's estimated that up to 90% of the O2 needed for the trip can be created from reclaimed water from various places, mainly waste. So what you eat and drink and piss today you'll be breathing tomorrow.
Really, I think you give these data center architects a bit too much credit. Smartest people in the world seems a bit excessive. Sure there may be exceptions, but the norm is that these people really don't think about it too much other than $/ft^2. We're a fortune 50 aerospace company, CSC manages our data center and I can tell you it is wrought with problems. When a practically brand new data center needs to be shut down for a weekend after 5 years because the power needs are inadequate and need to upgraded something wasn't planned right.
The fact is when data centers are run by companies that make money by the CPU they could care less about the cost. Its factored into the fee. No reason to be green. And this is the vast majority of corporate data centers. Most are contracted out and energy cost doesn't really matter, it just goes back to the customer.
Funny how on here most people rant and rave about parental responsibility with their children, yet when told to do the same with something as simple as what computer network you hook up to everything is so difficult!
You can't use the service because you aren't paying for it and the person who is may or may not approve of you doing it. It's call manners. Ask before you do it. I bet you are the kind of person who would fuck somebody from behind and not even have the common courtesy to do a reach around. Sorry, I just love that quote:)
Well, the addiction part comes from the fact that if you really examine it, the internet ain't all that fun. It's just a waste of time that is simpler than life. For the most part the games get boring pretty quick and continue to get played because you have nothing else to do. Blogging? How the heck is that fun? Shopping? Again, not exactly Disney World fun. Porn? Something to do while you are bored, and considered an addiction of its own. I mean really, how many people use the internet and sit there and play Cash Cow on webkinz all day. It's an addiction because even though the vast majority of the experience is pretty sucky, people still line up to do it.
Of course we'll vail it as 'information' to make us all seem smart. But in the end its a bunch of people who are too lazy or intraverted to experience a real life. Honestly, what about Slashdot is fun?? So this isn't anti fun.
I mean I know new hires in your low 20s, single, make good money who sit on a friday/sat night on google talk and go 'what do you want to do' all night. In the end they don't do anything. SAD!
You are 100% correct, however the very few events that actually compell viewers to watch are not typical. Heros and the Knight Rider movie do/did have more commercials that your typical show. Was it 50%? No. but it wasn't 16m per hour either. The sad thing is than the only thing compelling about the Knight Rider movie was how much of a train wreck it really was. That's the great thing about those movies for the networks. No matter how bad, people watch. The real sin will be when they look at the numbers it brought in and decide to make it a series. They'll invest all that money and then wonder why it only lasts 2 episodes. Nostalgia only holds a brief audience.
Bingo! Once again the media has totally warped reality. The CIA isn't a Tom Clancy book, and casinos aren't Ocean's 11, and neither are criminals and Top Secret labs don't have eye recognition systems. Virtually everything is run on a shoe string budget by middle managers in bad ties. But hey, show me the bling!
Look at Heathe Ledger. He seemed to be pretty healthy and young to me and how many meds was he on? At this point Drs are no more than legal drug pushers. I guarantee that I could make an appointment tomorrow and probably walk out of the Drs office with some sort of happy pill or sleep med. Yet i consider myself a perfectly happy and functioning person.
You do also have to take into account discarded meds. A lot of people die every day, and a good chance is they had a lot of drugs that we are told to flush when you clean out their house. Plus you have people who just have to buy the 10000 pill bottle at Costco with about 1% chance of going through them before they expire. I know I've tossed my share of aceto.
Craigslist. Honest, I laughed my ass off when I saw postings in my previous department there. Fairfield county is a bit of a drive unless you are looking at sikorsky. At least further than I'd commute for a job, though I do know a lot of people who do do it.
This isn't quite true, at least from a revenue aspect. UTC is closer to $50B (#42 in current fortune 100 list), and Carrier, Otis and P&W are currently so close in revenue that it could teeter to either on any given year depending on contract cycles. Probably close to 25% for each.
That being said, 5 years ago P&W was by far the 800lb gorilla of the corporation. There isn't a whole lot left out there on the aerospace side to acquire. The commercial industrial side is where all the low lying fruit is. Their recent aquisition of Kidde, CHUB, and now Diebold shows this.
30 years ago the United Aircraft name was changed to United Tech. People at the time didn't think it made much sense and was a loss of identity. That's not the case anymore.
Only high profile because you happen to know/be interested in them. No more than usual. What causes this is that companies share holders are promised 10-15% growth every year. Can't possibly be done in current product, so you aquire. Most people don't know or care about EA/Take-two or UTC/Diebold. Most people who own UTC stock probably couldn't even name a product.
Errr...where do you live, what do you do? Everyone in the Hartford area pops out of their mother with a UTC or Travelers (or some other insurance company) badge already on.

Funny how most of the supporters for spending money on this are probably people who refer to the lottery as the 'stupid tax'.

I'm sorry, but if politicians can call me when I'm on the do not call list, then why should spiders adhere to the robots.txt file.
Mod points, yah right. They can't even master driving or understanding the rules of football. ;)
I dunno, I've seen some of the females who read slashdot. :)
How the hell do you not know the kind of car your wife drives yet you know what she gets for mileage?
