I am personally disheartened at this. I was rooting for the Japanese to have a successful Mars mission.
I am glad to see that they can possibly still use it for solar monitoring. As of now, if SOHO goes down, we have no solar monitoring from space.
Good luck to Japan in finding a use for NOZOMI.
I don't think this thing exists.
The pictures look very much like 3D renders.
I'd like to see video of someone riding on one.
Notice how Bombardier's website talks about it in future tense. Also, the details are very light. "Technology will be used to harness the laws of physics..."

Some consider the ability to recognize faces in humans as a priori knowledge, that is, knowledge without any prior experience. Apparently, our genes hardwire our brains to know what a face is, even before we ever experience one. I think that is so fascinating. Could it be possible to genetically engineer a human to be born with more knowledge?
They don't go underwater to fix these cables. A boat follows the cable, pulling it up at one end of the boat, and dropping it down at the other. From what I understand, if a big storm or the like happens, they have to drop it and start over.
"My guess is that the initial problem may have been an undersea cable. "
You don't have to guess if you READ THE FUCKING ARTICLE
"The fault occurred on Tuesday afternoon in the TAT-14 fibre-optic cable system that connects the US, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, France and the UK, and is understood to have left TAT-14 unusable for traffic at present." "France Telecom will send a cable ship out to fix and repair the problem,"
Why the FUCK is this modded so high?
I recently saw this movie and really enjoyed it.
The anime was a little weak, but kind of an interesting style, and the English VO was kind of blah
I think it would have been better if Katsuhiro Otomo had also directed it. ... aka Rojin Z (/. is weak, won't let me put the ^ over the o)
I live in Washington State and was laid off a year ago.
While browsing through the job listings at the local Worksource. I noticed several innocuous seeming jobs at the local military base. Things like 'Trumpet Player' and 'Kitchen Manager' Well to my suprise, the only requirement was that you ENLIST IN THE MILITARY I can just see some poor horn player getting shipped out to IRAQ for a year!!!
Thanks for the info, too bad that makes it seem EVEN WORSE
It's unbelievable that AN EDITOR would POST an article WITHOUT ACTUALLY READING IT FIRST.
I guess you get what you pay for!

This post is a wonderful pearl of information sunk in a sea of feculant waste.
Everytime one of my PC using friends gets a virus, MY inbox fills up... I wish I wasn't in their address list.

What's funny to me is how someone sees a bold tag and a 'dirty' word and thinks I actually invested time and emotion in this! pfffttffbftvbtptpt

"But from the moment Mal pushed that guy through the engine intiake on his ship I knew that Firefly was a better show."
Interesting, that's when I decided it was drivel.
Anyone still using their TI-99/4A?
I pay income tax because my employer takes it out of my check before they even give it to me, DIPSHIT!
Hmmm, let's see... Musician? ... Killer?
