Last time I was on a jet at 40,000 ft (~13,000 m) temps were in the -40 to -45 C range. I doubt a plane that is only going 100 miles would make it about 10,000 ft (~3000 m). I think the air is well above 0 C there.
Your airplane doesn't have this feature but it does have the handy advantage of wings so it becomes a heavy glider. Its usually part of, I believe instrument training, to make an unpowered landing. I have a cousin who had to stay on a glide path without using rudders, elevators, or flaps. He steered using the doors. The added drag of opening the door, turned the plane slightly. As long as you did not enter a stall when the batteries died, and there is something flat under you, you will probably walk away from the incident.
I don't know about this one, but after you get to the airport, finish the preflight checks, taxied your way to the run way, and done all the landing procedures on the other end, you have to fly more than 100 miles to have any real time savings. With only a hundered mile range, your will arrive faster driving to your destination. Battery technology is not good enough to match cars, which do not have to operate with anywhere near the same power to weight ratio as planes.
Making an exclipse prototype fly is easy, they spent quite a bit more than a production model, making planes that actually sell for 850k will be an amazing achievement in aviation. Even so, it is still much more significant than this electric jet.
OMSI is the coolest science museum in the world. Last time I was there they had a Gemini pod you could sit in, and I recently heard about a steam engine that had a laser draw real time PV diagrams of the engine.
While this appears to be in jest, it might not be a bad idea to offer to set up a wireless network, or use their wires if its a newer hotel, cheapo sustems in rooms with Linux for the hotel. I would guess that they would appreciate being able to offer internet access to their customers, and especially if it was at a lower cost then they originally thought. This would also expose many business people to linux.
Our zip codes are fairly small there are at most 100,000 although we probably are not using all of them yet, most small towns have their own, and most larger cities have several, and there are only about 450 congressional districts, which range in size from a city, to whole states in the west, to my favorites the gerrymanders, which are districts created with the main purpose of ensuring that the party that does the redistricting gets the most seats in the house. Some of them are fairly interesting. One district, which was tossed out by a judge, got as narrow in parts as to not even include the entire width of a 4 lane divided highway. It was set up to include several towns along the highway, which would preserve a small majority of one of the parties in the entire district. Another common tactic, is creating a district that is overwhelmingly liberal or conservative, which allows you to make more districts that are slightly the opposite. Politics is a pretty funny game sometimes.
The only reason I can think of it being a business reason is to milk the Athlon design a little longer before it goes into the value market. They would only do this if they thought Intel wasn't going to make many speed bumps, or they have silicon that ramps better than it currently overclocks. Once you finish the design work for a chip, the more you produce the lower your costs are, since you don't have to do a major revision to the design for some time, new processor roll outs are a balance between lowering fixed costs and keeping up with the competition.
I sold mine back in march at about 30. It was mostly happenstance, as I needed the cash to start paying back college loans. I have been looking to get back into the company, and with this delay, I will probably be kicking myself for not sending the check to Etrade to fund my account again. Bummer on your loss, I bought a capacitor stock about 2 months before the first meltdown in the cellular market. The loss was about the same as my gain on AMD, unfortunately.
South America has some black panthers, but North American Pumas aka Mountain Lions aka cougars aka panthers are a reddish to tawny grey to chocolate brown at least accoriding to this site. Being red green color blind they have always just looked grey and white to me.
I have heard of a study that suggested that there might be a gene, or combination that regulated how much heat we lose to cold weather. That heavier people generally burn fewer calories as heat, than skinnier people do. Which was assumed to be a good gene to have until we invented grocery stores and central heat, now it just makes us fat.
The explosions do, but I think the lave is collected a ways from the emission zone. Since you would have to be able to get close enough to the lava to scoop it out without melting, and scientists who study volcanoes usually have reflective suits on when they get near the cone. Also the steam that is emmitted from the chicken and leaves are likely to keep any toxic gasses from entering the bird while it is cooking. Similar to secure biotech labs being kept at pressures slightly different from earths atmosphere to prevent contamination. Finally most big islanders who live near enough to the volcano to cook in this fashion regularly are likely to be pretty familiar with the risks they are taking.
Up here the daries are all just slightly better smelling than the feedlots the cows are concentrated in a small area, and fed hay. Not to mention that one of the most common methods of waste disposal is to spray it on fields as fertilizer. Its still weird to me to see a nice green field with brown liquid leaving all the sprinklers. The better smelling areas are the beef operations that keep the cows in a pasture until butchering time.
You could also try the alternative hawaiian cooking method of heating rocks which are placed in a pit, with a pig also wrapped in Ti leaves(pronounced like Tea), buried and left to roast for a few hours. Its makes very moist and delicious roast pig. I don't know if you could do it with pork chops, but a whole tenderloin might work if you aren't feading a luau size crowd.
Most HDTV screens are 1080 interlaced, which I believe puts your resolution at about 1080 by 768, which is less than awe inspiring while reading text on a 50" screen. Even the really nice ones I have seen, are not ready to replace a good monitor yet. Projectors seem to be the current preference of the rich home theater pc set. The biggest flat panel monitor I know of is Samsung's 24T, I think they support resolutions of 1920*1600 or something similar. Sun or SGI might have something similar to go along with their high end workstations. Last I checked they were also at about 22" or so.
Hello, that is what the entire anti-trust case was about. It had nothing to do with the fact that Microsoft has a monopoly over the desktop market (which is not illegal), it was that they used that monopoly to monopolize the browser market.

Sun used to be another excellent choice, they were by far the fastest download I've had. Of course that was two years ago when they were offering Solaris 8 free, and made plenty of cash. They might be skimping a little bit more now.
All ISPs even the phone company over sell their down stream to upstream. 4:1 is a common ration for business level down stream bandwidth to upstream bandwitdth.* I know of one ISP here that keeps this ratio, and generally uses about 50% of their upstream bandwidth. They are likely to have burstable upstream connections, just in case it gets extra busy.
*Incidentally, consumer level stuff has higher ratios that that, I have heard of dial-up places with ratios closer to 200:1. I doubt broadband ISPs can go much higher than 10:1, but that is just a guess. That ratio is one of the best indicators of service quality, but I doubt you can find a service provier that will tell you theirs.
I bet most/.ers can recall a time when they corrected a teacher. I think students can be as important as educators to the education process. Incidentally, most good MBA programs require that you get some real world experience so this student led education is more valuable.
Its been a while since my Japanese politics class, but IIRC, Zaibatsu were declared illegal as part of the MacArthur's rebuilding of Japan and new government. Most of the pieces were sold off, as separate chunks, which were usually reassembled, not alawys the same chunks, later. MacArthur was working on his own personal vision of Utopia until the first general strike appeared to be organized by communists, and he was quickly replaced. This was one of the main factors that led to the LDP's (the conservative party) 40+ year majority in their Parliment.
I think most of the kieretsu were helped by MITI, which would explain their prevalence in other Asian nations, who followed the Japanese model during the 70s and 80s.
I think Toyota means rice paddy, its Japanese character is a 4 cell grid, like four fields. Its been even longer since the week of Japanese language, but that remains one of the few things I remember.
Thomson's doesn't own Philips, Philips is an independant public company with many shareholders. Thomson might own a small part of Philips, but not the whole company. Also, Thomson's isn't that big (market cap is 5 billion), and most large companies could buy them if they so desired. Even Apple could pay cash for the whole company. Its more likely, by valuation, that Philips would buy Thomson's.
I hate how word handles pictures tables, charts, and graphs. Placement seems to be a random function. The most elegant system I have ever used was Lotus SmartSuite. You could tie it to a paragraph, and then position the picture relative to the paragraph it was tied. And it sent both to the next page if they did not fit on the first one.
Consideration does not have to be monitary. IANAL, however, I think that the agreement to redistribute your changes would qualify as consideration, as would origially giving away the software for the counterparty. Also, the whole section about not signing anything therefore no contract has always bothered me about the GPL. It seems to me that the license would have to be a contract to overrule the original copyright agreement, and oral contracts or usage agreements, are upholdable in courts.
You get up to $250,000 in gains (keep track of those home imporovment recipts they are deductable) tax free, as long as you invest it into another home during a two year period either before or after you sell it. You have to have lived in the home for atleast 2 of the last 5 years, so do not rent it out for more than 3 years, and you will be fine. Besides its rare for single family homes to rent at attrative rates to the landlord.
This sort of ties into my own idea for broadband, tie it to the home. If you were to offer 512kbps for the life of the home, for say an additional $7k-$10k, it would provide about $50/month interest, which should pay the bill on the broadband, especially if prices fall. The company would not need a loan, and the users could deduct the interest they paid on the $10,000 as a part of their home loan. Does anyone know why this would not work for new developments? You string your own wires to a collection DSLAM in the development, which is fiber connected to the ISP, and avoids the Bell's networks. The end user is insulated from the price, and increases their home's value. If you ran coax or fiber you could even provide phone or television services as well, for a higher upfront price.

This might not be a bad idea, if you can find a tech who works at your ISP he might be the only one who can tell you just how oversubscribed they are.
