This sounds pretty expensive to me. The mindstorm is overkill tho, you could simply use a basic PIC controller and a few servos. And I believe one can buy a basic plane for 100 or 200$...
Mybe would it be useful to get a boost while still in earth's vicinity or maybe it would be really useful for satellite that would not have to embark a limited quantity of fuel anymore.
I'm okay with censorship in a democracy. People got what they voted for. After all, for a non american, libel and copyright laws could be seen as censorship (and Google also helps to enforce these)
We told it has been politicised ! Stop being rational about it !
Seriously, this is sad because the good scientific point of view would probably be "there is a significant risk, we need more studies to examine it." but given the political atmosphere, if you do anything short of yelling "Armaggedon ! New Orleans was the first one, New York is the next !" you ill not get any audience and will be discarded. Seriously, it is only a few years since politicians are concerned about global warming. Look at what forced them to look into this issue.
2000 used to work beautifully for me, I never considered to jump the ship to XP. Then I had to buy a laptop (from Dell)... Your turn will come. I installed a debian on it but still, somewhere in the price, I have bought XP somewhere.
Well, as I read it, they protect themselves from you, in case you would like to patent your idea once it gets accepted. They want to be sure they can use your idea. The keyword here is "non-exclusive". They will be able to use it, and you will be able to "licence" it to anyone else.
Well, some of us vote you know. That is the most ethical way that I know to overthrow a government. As long as it works, blowing up stuff would be in fact mindless terrorism.
I would also say that I don't really understand the tone of the/. post here. I have read half of the 143 pages and I must say Jacobson has made patient and correct statements all the way of the interview. It must have been really frustrating explaining how MAC and IP address work to a lawyer.
But do we know how many valid keys exist in this domain ? After all we have seen MS releasing a key protection scheme (I believe it was for Win98) where you just had to provide a key where the sum of specific digits would be a multiple of 7. There was something like 36^12 possible keys but 1/7th of them were valid. Or was that also an hoax ?
Anyway, it really depends on how much valid combinations exist. If they tailored the algorithm to only accept a few billions of combination they are safe but if they allowed 0.001% of combinations to be valid keys, well... brute force remains a valid option.
Well in my case I didn't thought too much about it. My native language is French and we say "la NASA". Feminine form because "Administration" is feminine in French. I suspect that I make a lot of mistake using "the" in inappropriate places...
Usually astronomical events happened 24 hours before they are posted in/.
Seriously, while this one made it in time, wouldn't it be possible to put a "astronomy event" tag on submissions in firehose so that those submissions can be treated in priority and make it on time on the frontpage ?
Well some people suggested that the NASA already made experiments about sex in space. Officially only plants and animals were observed, but the goal was clearly to know if a human colony would be sustainable in space. According to the wikipedia the NASA had created a pool for humans to "experiment" in microgravity. It has also be noted in the past that the proportion of women astronauts is higher than the proportion of women scientist in ground based labs. It is a too strategic question to know if sex is possible in orbit to have not been the subject of experiments.
As for cleaning a sperm mess I think it would be quite easy as the substance is very sticky and tend to stay in the form of a blob, not easily breaking in a thousand of little drops.
Just don't use wma, you never know what happens behind the scenes. And please, *please*, make it easy to download it as a file. mp3 ogg or FLAC is then fine by me.
Do you know that there really are christian pre-marital classes explaining future couples that sex isn't always dirty ? That you sometimes have to do "it"...
No, because this is a flaw in slashdot moderation system : first posts are read by more people and so get more moderation points. it is very hard to get modded +5 while on the bottom of the page.
I agree this makes for a lot of non-sequitur in response to first posts but this is people using a flaw in the system, don't blame them.

And you want this process to remain legal, right ?

As much as I enjoy political troll-flaming, I still wonder what this has to do with "News for nerds, stuff that matters"...

please disregard the remark about abnormal number of female astronauts, I have been fed an hoax...

Just hurl then. That's what we call a "political voice" nowadays.
Are you kind of... new, here ?
Maybe the avian flu will become the first biological virus to attack digital packets carriers then...

Here in France, Genetically Engineered Organisms are blamed for that.
The Commission still has a blocking power. Otherwise there would have been a clear law against SW patents a few years ago.
Does it mean Iceweasel will finally be renamde firefox ? Or am I completly missing something here ?
