As for the weight of the wings, I've read that Scaled has developed a technique of making the wing as one single carbon composite body, structurally sound and not as heavy as a wing ribbed-up with a metal airframe.
It seems that even some of the judges presiding over these cases question the RIAA's tactics. 'I've never had a situation like this before, where there are powerful plaintiffs and powerful lawyers on one side and then a whole slew of ordinary folks on the other side,' said U.S. District Judge Nancy Gertner, who blocked the movement of a number of these cases in her courtroom for months. She wanted 'to make sure that no one, frankly, is being ground up.'"
I've heard that judges have to rely upon precedent, without accepting interference upon emotion, whim, or 'unsubstantiated' personal will.
To see that the crush-the-file-sharers "precedent", here, might ever be thwarted - well, RIAA is still at loose in the public, but at least some of their cases might not be casually shuffled-along by quite all of the judiciary.
I'd heard about plasma fusion existing as... "like, something they think we can do"... a few years ago. (It was after some going through library books at the local community college, incidentally. It sounded like a marvelous possibility - producing fuel from seawater, even, perhaps by extracting any tritium and/or deuterium from it.)
More recently, I'd heard something - if I recall, correctly - about US agencies pulling out of the joint fusion reactor project in Europe. It sounded like an unfortunate decision - vaguely put, yeah.
I'd not know that MIT or Columbia had still been working about sustainable-fusion research, and that they are trying new "angles" with it.
I'm glad to hear, now, that research, about sustainable fusion, is continuing - and a bit saddened, if the quaint Tokamak has really been outmoded, but pardon my sentimentality.
and so, I'm grateful to have been able to read a report about this.
Thank you.
and btw, who the fuck is the US congress to decide which mobile phone service protocols is the iraqi people going to use ???
The U.S. Congress is 1/3 of the government now partially in charge of safeguarding the Iraqi people, and everyone else in the area, the tyrannical government of Saddam Hussein and his progeny. See the previous comment, regarding planning
and apparently you havent noticed the american government doesnt give a shit about iraqi people, their just in for the money.
You know, I am really sick and tired of such statements as yours, there. Do you know a single person in the U.S. Congress? have you done any valid research about their involvement or intent? how much do you know -- of facts, not fiction -- of what's actually going on in Iraq, historically, and today? do you love just kneejerking against the US? If, as I expect, only the last of those question gets a "yes" answer from you, then stuff it already; we've had enough of the likes of your useless noise-making -- unfocused, unfounded, and plainly ignorant as I'm certain your comment will prove to have been.
The fact that you posted that comment anonymously seems quite a reflection is how much integrity you lack.
Back to the topic: Since you used the word planning, I'll assume you've heard of it; maybe you've been to busy making idiotic, kneejerk comments to think much about it, though. Apparently, they think they'll need a stable cel-phone network once the area is stablized; apparently, they -- being whoever's in charge of it, and apparently not you -- are up for promoting the interests of their own nation; would you find this surprising? It's no different than what people supporting GSM would be up for. Apparently, they don't agree with your unfounded claim that CDMA is "inferior".
Whatever gripe you have about the way our military is actually handling things in Iraq, did you ever have something substantitive to say about the benefits of GSM over CDMA? Or do you enjoy just sounding like an ass?
This is about a Republican congress-person doing what Republican congress-people do best: fucking over the people (in this case of another country) in the favor of his corporate backers.
So, what's going on to keep the MSFT lap-dogs, and their potential customers, informed about SELinux -- and OpenBSD -- in response to the marketing of this "Palladium" thing? Seems like they might be for different sectors of the market (SELinux, OBSD for those who know what they're doing, MSFT-windows for the rest?), but that article doesn't give a lot of details about what "Palladium" is, anyway, no offense.
"trusted Windows technology platform" -- that, in itself, sounds hillarious.
Here's to waiting or digging for details on what this MSFT "nexus" thing is, beneath the flash, hubub, poop, and other marketing.
Now, do y'all get the impression that microsoft is playing this thing right into the workstations of "sensitive" federal offices? If they do this, and succeed in locking those offices into their platform -- if they haven't done so already -- it would be a major blow against the state of the competive market -- within and without "the government sector".

Not sure if it's nearly as high-altitude a vehicle as you were thinking for, but regarding Scaled Composites' SpaceShipOne, it feathers its tail up, for gliding in from about a 100 KM altitude

Hooray for the careful, free-reasoning judges.

So, it sounds like the in-MS development 'community' has a nifty !new toy.
But, y'know, talk about "web services" still sounds like vapid, pie-in-the-sky chatter - here, anyway. "Maybe I missed the boat?!"
