A fighter's turn rate is only limited by the pilot at certain speeds. At low speed, it can be hard to do 9 gees, even impossible. Do your homework first.
I imagine that he also wants a traditional, Chinese keyboard for his computer. As the Chinese alphabet has over a thousand characters, he might need to have one custom built.
If my history serves me right...

In our society, our children now learn to construct siege engines out of building blocks. When they get older, they further sharpen their martial skills by playing computer simulations of warfare. In ancient Sparta, they produced a generation of warriors by training them young. With some lego, some good PC war games, and a membership with the Military Book Club, we can do the same for our children.
Arched and domed ceilings should be made of this new metal -- they will have a much lower wieght, exert less pressure on walls and supports, lower building costs, and be less likely to fall. Also, making a sky scraper that won't collapse if hit by an airplane will be eaiser if the internal skeleton of the tower is built from this stuff.
A great use for this is in aircraft construction. By reducing weight the planes will fly farther on less fuel, and fighters will turn sharper since they will have a lower wing loading. I'm wondering, if other countries try to produce this new metal, if that will be an infringement on someone's intellectual property ?
They have already used systems like CAD-CAM and other 3D modeling programs to do the same thing on a computer screen. Using the arrow keys you could rotate the image around, zoom in or out, and of course, modify it as you liked. The advantage of using a hologram is limited here. A better useage would be a holographic projection of a patients body in the hospital, allowing doctors to watch the effects of their work as they go along.
It is theorized that many asteroids are pure nickel, and hence would be very valuable if we could bring some into a low earth orbit. Also, there is much carbon is space, and carbon forms its familiar diamond lattice only under intense heat and pressure -- such as in planetary collisions. Thus it is believed that many asteroids have a diamond core. (Many asteroids were formed when a planet got hit by something big, either another planet or a huge meteorite) Many skeptics believe scientists say this to procure more funding...not true. Many diamonds on earth are the result of impacts from comets. The heat and pressure of such hits is astronomical, no pun intended.
First, we know more about the surface of the moon that we do about the bottom surface of the ocean. That's too bad since we are becoming increasingly dependent on the ocean to feed much of the world. Kelp farms and Plankton fields will soon increase our harvest even more. On the drawing board already are aqua harvesters to trawl the oceans and reap the dividends of the oceanic agriculture. I'm not talking about fishing ships either, but rather a solar powered kelp combine. And, as Authur C. Clark said, we need to corral whales in the way we currently do to sheep and cows. He wrote a short story about it.
There are many positive tech spin offs from this seemingly pointless trip. Better weather forcasting to predict killer hurricanes. Cheaper transportion that does not emit noxious greenhouse gasses. Or perhaps just cheaper ways for us to study the atmosphere, or whats left of it.
With this many planets, yes, there are bound to be many civilizations which have developed over the millenia. However, it is illogical to assume that they would all be friendly. If you see a nice looking crocodile in a pool, do you assume it's friendly and jump in? Take a look at the animal kingdom of our own world -- quite a bit of killing going on. In many ways our own civilization is worse in that we don't just kill for food, some of us kill for pleasure. The SETI program is going to get us all killed / eaten / forced to build some big laser pointing toward the sky.
If they outlaw spam, then they would have to outlaw phone solicitors (phone salesmen), door to door solicitors as well. This was already argued in a US court. The court ruled that people do indeed have to right to go door to door, including Johovah's Witnesses. What's the difference between a salesman calling you on the phone to sell you something and spam? Don't hate me because I'm stupid.
I hope it's a right. In my skewed opinion, the only things that should be labeled a privilige are things that might be dangerous for others : owning and operation a car, weapon, nuclear accelerator, etc.
First of all, my spelling sucks and thanks for rubbing my face in it. Secondly, what I meant was that all too often a judge would like to rule in one fashion, as he feels it is fair and right to do, but ends up having to make a ruling in the oppposite way because of past precedent. Several judges have admitted to this in the past, saying that the judicial system made a mistake in such and such a case. To be honest, I was trying to be impartial.
When cars were widely available, new laws certainly came into effect. Speed limits were posted (not previously needed for horse and buggy carriages). Now exhaust limits, to controll pollution, are in place. Free trade laws, or lack of them, were hammered out in gov't because of the money involved. Each tech upgrade requires us to examine how it will affect humanity, and the internet is no different.
Comparing the information highway to the steam engine highway is innacurite. Besides, each situation deserves to be judged individually, something our law makers should be aware of. Simply preserving precedent ensures we will never throw off the shackles of the past.
Good point. It's true that many companies have had monopolies in the past and have abused it. The worst news yet : I can't see how any new car company could possible burst on the scene, since it takes billions of dollars to get the foundry / assembly lines put together. Not to mention the year or three of debugging problems after that. I think the big 3 will have a monopoly for some time to come.
Look at the 7 seasons of Star Trek : the Next Generation. Patric Stewart is considered one of the best actors and television by many but he never recieved any awards to my knowlege. Even the work by Bret Spiner, Data, was magnificent. And, the series had masterfull writing. And, it pioneered the super villians, the Borg. What happened ? Nothing. No emmys. No respect. Yet the episodes are still watchable !
Another solution is to blow cool air over the hot parts, cooling them naturally and safely. No, you don't need to use the computer in a wind tunnel, just several fans / cold air guns / natives waving bannana leaves.

How could you troll me for this. I said nothing wrong here, asshole.
I'm not clueless. It was an attempt to be funny, you dumb asshole. Thus you are the clueless one, shithead

With enough lego parts you can also build a working catapult, although in Canada the government requires you to register it as a hand gun.

Thank-you

I've got to admit, I'm curious. What did Sony Bono do ?

Just think, a kinder, gentler Halo.

Much like automobiles, computers are a fad and will soon fade away. They will be replaced by something else a good American invents.
