cute.. however, he's not going high or fast enough to experience significant heat on "re-entry". Have a look at the Scaled site where they show the minimal heat shielding on SS-1.
Which merely means, given a literal translation, that it was no longer producing enough power to make a strong enough signal to be detected by Earth. The signals were already so weak as to be useless for telemetry purposes. The satellite is probably still taking telemetry and trying to transmit. We just can't hear it anymore.
I feel kind of sad and also kind of proud to think about it.
The idea is that if you need more IPs, you re-allocate some of those you were using for the Darknet. Only when you are exhausted of IPs (meaning no more Darknet left to pilfer) do you go to IANA and request another block.
VA Linux is no more. They became VA Software years ago, changed almost all of their internal systems to Microsoft, and only hawk proprietary software (SourceForge).
IIRC, VA Software has little or nothing to do with this site anymore.
There is just no substitute for the big screen experience. I'd love to be able to pre-view a few questionable movies before I shell out $10.
The pirate DVDs that I've seen are of generally poor quality, and some are just downright irritating to attempt to watch.
I can tell you that downloading albums from Napster (back in the day) caused me to actually go and purchase 5 CDs that I would not have just based on the over-hyped radio hit played on corporate heavy-rotation stations.
I wish I still had that choice. Instead, I'm forced to evaluate based on one song, with a heavy amount of skepticism involved in my judgment.
except my aircraft was not plummeting. It was involved in a very sharp angle of climb, nosed over hard, then pointed toward the ground in a clumsy parabolic arc. At the top portions of this arc, the "up vector" equalled the "down" or "gravity vector", giving the brief simulation of weightlessness.
This is, indeed, how the Vomit Comet works, and which is where I learned this trick (not, though, from having been aboard in flight, I'm sad to say).
Skydiving isn't the same. All you sense there is the lack of a falling feeling (and a loud, cold, wind) after you reach terminal velocity. All that is is a lack of acceleration.
you keep forgetting the vector called "Gravity" that is pointing down towards the ground. If you experience equal force in all vectors, that is "weightless". Meaning, if your vector up and your vector down and your vector to each side (we'll ignore diagonals for our little model here) are all the same, you are then weightless.
I used to do this all the time in small aircraft. It was a hell of a dating move; much cooler than the old hard-right-turn-in-a-bench-seat-car trick. Once your passenger gets over the initial fright, she actually starts to enjoy it (or, sometimes, she pees her pants and is really.. well.. pissed off.)
The flaw in your logic is that there has been no documented incident of accidental launch of a nuclear missile.
The password strength is irrelevant because of the many levels of failure which were necessary to result in an unauthorized launch, be they internal or external, any one of which would have triggered a fail-safe scenario.
The physical security refers to someone trying to get in from the outside. The two guys inside the silo launch center would be able to get the launch off in time.
Insofar as a single deranged person trying to launch the missiles, both launch keys have to be turned at the same time. The keylocks are separated by a distance making it impossible for a single human being to turn both simultaneously.
Crews are rotated such that the same two are not on duty on any but one shift (to prevent conspiracy), and the crewmen are subjected to some excruciatingly serious background and psychological tests before, during, and after their tours of duty in the silos.
Great care was taken in designing a fail-safe mechanism, where if the protection mechanism fails, it fails into a safe mode (like a default-deny in IPTables).
It was determined that it was better that a few missiles not leave the silos during a nuclear exchange than a few leave a silo during peace-time.

It's a technique known as "crabbing". You can do this with any aircraft to land in a stiff crosswind, but it really helps to have the wheels turned. Otherwise you've got to be johnny-on-the-spot with releasing the rudder when you make touchdown. I almost put a C-152 in the ditch by not releasing the rudder on time...
Before you can be successful at bringing in people to your amusement park to "experience the characters", you have to have the characters that will bring people into the park.
Without a widely popular and successful movie (or series of movies), you won't have the character draw for your park. I don't see any "Black Hole" references around Disneyland, let alone a couple of cute floating robots going around giving photo-ops to kids.

In that case, please consider me for his replacement. I can be on site within 4 hours, 3 if I ignore certain pesky traffic laws...
I've never ever seen anyone think about this, but...
What if we're the first?
Somebody had to be first.. why not us?

If your name is Eric Cartman, you damned well hope not!
It's the difference between "libre" and "gratis".
This, from an AC? buwahahahahahahahahah!

Yeah, a blue screen...
Is that you, Natalie?
I guess you don't keep up with current events.

I thought they were talking about an out of work web administrator named Torg.
Routers won't help with email-borne issues. It will only stop a remote-connect worm from getting through.

Bullshit.
That scenario was precisely the reason the two key lock system was put in place.

You have the cart before the horse.

Congratulations on working a Sluggy Freelance reference into your post!
I'm also bitter because I was too late to do it first.
Fear the rabbit!
