Yellowstone is overdue for a super eruption, it and the magnetic field reversal of the earth which is already under way are much more likely to cause problems than CO2 which is not the most powerful greenhouse gas, water vapor is the big one.
I think this is great, it lets the rest of the world know 100% for sure, that our country is being run by paranoid jack asses that can't figure out that the terrorists can take pictures from inside their vehicles with telephoto lenses.
Strong arming a tourist that doesn't speak the language because someone lady from japan might be working for Osama...
What a bunch of "Can't think for themselves, dumb asses."
I agree, and to take it a step further just make it underground on the moon to save on cost of materials, and use tunneling equipment like they did for boston's big dig.
Not sure what would be best for power, I'd lean towards solar as it is much more power outside the earth's atmosphere.
If we could make tunneling robots and repair robots, it could all be done via robots, and as the moonis only 500,000 miles away remote control is a lot more responsive.
The moon would be good to mine to build a 'real" space station too instead of the International "tin can" station .
Alot cheaper to use a solar powered mass driver to toss stuff off the moon than to fly super expensive trips off Earth to haul it to orbit.
NASA already considered doing it too, had diagrams of plans.
With a true Space Dock could build craft made for non re-entry travel between planets. ie. a craft made for re-entry into atmosphere is not optimum for flying between planets.
A 2nd thing too, if we can't get them to use animal and human waste, aka sewage to feed hybrid algae to make bio diesel like MIT is doing, then I doubt they will look at mars as a profit unless they discover easy to reach gold, platinum and other super valuable materials.
They only cost $3 an hour if you DON'T consider they make up the majority of the prison population in southern California, and that their free medical care isn't paid for by taxpayers.
When they reproduce for free, and you wonder why your taxes went up 100% on you house, it is because your paying to educate their kids.
If they want to pay their fair share, and become law abiding citizens then so be it.
It will make jobs damn scarce for awhile as anyone all over earth can come here, but it beats what we have now.
The grammar obsession is more to do with humans desire to look more for fault in others than themselves, and not additionally taking the time to realize that grammar in english doesn't always work in other languages.
So in fact it is somewhat language specific, and thus is just in fact something made up by mankind.
Some people think adding layers of complexity to it all makes them smart, but in fact it is just clutter, and thus the milestone of the chinese making simplified chinese I consider a first step in the right direction, for all.
I think there is a growing perception of American workers as being lazy.
Just prior to the DOT COM bust I would see a lot of Visa workers staying very late, and not particularly getting much done, but looking very industrious.
On the other hand I saw a lot of Americans standing around and "chatting" about the latest TV shows, Sports, Church, family, etc etc.
The management saw this and took it on face value, so when the layoffs came a lot of Americans were canned and only a few Visa workers.
I "was" working at Cisco Systems at the time.
Our tax dollars go to fund major colleges here that are more and more training foreign students to move here to replace us, or send the job to their country.
This has been going on for some time, and will not abate any time soon.
The foreign students pay higher tuition, that is true, but still some federal funds pay the salaries and Infrastructure costs.
Some Comp Sci classes are over half foreign students.
The colleges have become like a monetary business extension that the tax payer funds to provide corporate interest with cheaper labor.
Don't get me wrong, there are some good foreign workers, very good indeed.
But with the current prices of real estate, and cost of living in some areas, this is setting up a collapse of enormous proportions.
Snagging up foreclosed real estate has become big business in the US.
I predict a dire future for all jobs that can be near shored/outsourced/Visa'd.
His test rigs were 1/8th scale, and he did not have enough power and or other elements for 'steady state' operation. Doing the work without steady operation is tedious and possibly missing some key elements of the process.
The Hirsch-Farnsworth device held the record for its energy levels for a long while, Bussard's exceeded this by quite a bit and shows great promise.
The video is long, and he can be a bit monotone at times, but his brilliance is undeniable and verifiable thru the video and elsewhere.
DARPA funded the project for a good many years til it got visibility, then ppl working the ITER's got wind of it and had its funding killed.
Some of the ppl working on ITER who have homes and families no doubt will post here against Bussard in the interest of protecting their families and homes, and lives.
I can't say I blame them, but perhaps they should look at the big picture of what it would do for the entire world if this came to fruition.
Grid based IEC devices like wisconsin's are limited due to the grid, he discusses the theory of this in the video, and shows that he managed a visible "wiffle ball" as he calls it in one of his experiments.
I can't say he will succeed beyond a shadow of a doubt, but his peers have a great deal of respect for his ability and progress thus far.
In fact the navy allowed him to take all the equipment they purchsed for him over the years and donate it to private corporation of his choice.
It just happens to be the same ppl that built Spaceship One.
1) Optical only routing at the backbone, and traffic monitoring to ensure Tier1's don't let major choke points choke due to not wanting to spend money on equipment, share the costs like a Co-op if necessary amongst Tier1's to keep the backbones and choke points scaled up. People who run trace routes see tier1 choke points now.
2) In the Tier1 core make sure it is DWDM folding many layers of Sonet/ATM into a multi-channel frequency spectrum, at some point plan on phasing out asynchronous communications and go with on time in order delivery of packets, aka Sonet and its like protocols. *** VoIP/streams works best with synchronous***
3) Each Metro Area Network has its own Squid box cluster for reducing repetitive traffic, filling all identical requests for data vs. pulling it long haul a 2nd time, alot of ISPs have their own squid like system now, but unify and optimize it.
4) Create a spam registry, like ACLs for routers, don't blacklist by single IP, blacklist by ISP, then Inclusively activate by white list single IP's within that range. Offenders would essential end up shutoff from most of the world.
5) Create a modified Torrent protocol that can multicast via VPN like hamachi.cc, so that a single peer can send the same data at 50kb to a million ppl, make it like tuning into net radio audio stream in progress picking up the data in progress, and getting the first to middle bits on the 2nd "play" of the data stream, set a threshold for the modified torrent protocol to switch to this multicast mode. for ppl with privacy concerns make it virtual ip's on a VPM network like hamachi.cc
6) All monetary transaction sites require end to end encryption and authentication, and some means of client IDS that verifies the client isn't compromised, a cursory one would be patch level and malware/virii client acknowledgement. CERN could maintain a central footprint repository or another agency could do it, but have open peer review and input. Verifying legitimacy of all in memory processes would get rid of the obvious intruders, but the ones that can 'checksum' mimic known registered processes would be more difficult to detect. Verifying client integrity particularly for Windows OS would require some brilliance beyond what we have now.
7) Zombie / IDS Net Spiders that roams the internet looking for compromised systems and notifying the owner, and the ISP, and reports it to all other ISP's and is added to a blacklist at ISP of origination. Systems routing to known zombie network reporting IP's or security threat sites would be placed on watch lists and client warnings of possibly being compromised.
8) Global and Nation based NOC's that monitor for network issues, and traffic control system that allows truly functioning reroutes via higher layer routing protocols for alternate routes.
Just a few ideas I had, some it may not be workable with what we have now.

Add in $12 billion a month for the cost of the middle east,
with the Iraq war.
Oil is not cheap, not with the current crap going on.
Don't tell me we are over their for humanity effort

Well in a different way this is right for me, I'd check the
SNMP logs for severity ones.
Ummmm actually, word is that it was a radar unit that brought them down.
Perhaps they thought no one would spray radiation into the air that would
cause mutations, cancer, and cook ppl.
Something we took for granted, they didn't think we would use for what we do.
Just a theory.

also to see processes that don't show up use "process explorer" by the sysinternals folks.
Correct me if I am wrong here, most parallel programming needs are
greatly alleviated by this project => http://www.mosix.org/txt_about.html
Watch the video that was filmed at google tech talk,
then tell Dr. Bussard he is wrong.
