    or they could give it to his guardian or parents, or at least ask him to name a charity for it to be donated. In short, a dozen ways they could award the money if they weren't cheap-asses, and used their brain a little.

  2. Re:Preserve Cultural Heritage on Star Wars Episode 4 To Be Dubbed In Navajo · · Score: 1

    would English? for that first word we combined two words with ancient meaning. for the second the Czech word robota means drudgery or hard labor or the period of labor of a serf for a lord (used in a play by Karel ÄOEapek). The third is an acronym, could be directly used in any language, or a descriptive phrase meaning "stimulated emission of light" could be used.

    So yes, Navajo could have the words and in the same manner english does. Any modern concept could be brought into Navajo the same way it was brought into English, bridging from the old into the new.

    nothing nonsensical about specifying instruction set, we're talking about people wanting virtualization solutions for software already written, and most are not runnable, or are too cost prohibitive on ibm mainframe (trying licensing oracle and see how many megabucks that goes)

    We do have the tech, but not the will to spend the obscene amount of money it would take. There are fission powered craft designs that can do the trip. Such a ship would blow a product of a majority of the world's uranium reserves out its exhaust pipe.

    You think science should falsify information to fit your delusions? the reason science claims no life has been found to date on Mars is because there is no evidence whatsoever of it yet. Not one shred. Loosen your tinfoil hat.

    you are the one all starry-eyed and making up silliness between your ears. This craft only operates at a hundred meters, far too low to make any claim about wind being "faster and more stable". This craft is mostly wing, dead weight the same as most of your ground based turbines. they claim twice the power of same sized turbine, a marketing claim for now.

    you could put your turbine on a fixed pole, so it doesn't come down when the wind stops blowing.

    no, you can't just go in after the fact and change the load limits on floors for a building. we're talking about essentially putting the kind of weight a parking garage would bear. nothing in the building could take it, not the foundation, not the columns, not the floors and not the lateral beams.

    but it is easy, head of physics department of U. I attended had worked on such a system the military uses for enemy walkie-talkie four decades ago: difference in arrival time of signal at two locations produces hyperbola on map of possible origins. third transmitter makes 2nd hyperbola and bomb is sent to intersection of hyperbola if it was an officer (had different kind of handheld in cold war days). and all the poor sap did was push the transmit button.
