It'll come down very soon after apogee (the point where gravity/friction slows it to a stop and it "hovers" for a brief moment).
Remember - there is a difference between launching a rocket into space, and launching into orbit. If you wish to go into orbit, you'll need much, much, MUCH more power than this space shot attempt will produce:)
They are most certainly NOT a dying breed:)
Have a look at our group : http://www.mars.org.uk , we are a group of young professionals who have launched at Black Rock before, using a rocket motor ordered from the VERY cool and capable Ky Michaelson - he's a dude...

Wheeee:) Now we'll have the "Hurd is better than Linux because" arguments, and the "Linux is better than Hurd" stuff too:) And we all know what Linus thinks of microkernels:)
Indeed. So, basically Sun is deliberately NOT approving Open Source products, fearing that because they may be as good as Sun's, then it'd be Game Over for one of Sun's revenue streams?
If the java engine works, and works to such a degree that you could swipe Sun's stuff away and replace it with the one you've written, then is there _really_ any point in getting Sun to give you a little "Sun Approved" sticker on your product?
There they go again - basically saying they need more technology to solve the problem, when in actual fact the more technology the authorities use, the less likely "undesireables" will be caught.
Why? Because any "undesireable" with enough savvy will go low-tech - not send messages electronically etc. Also, anyone with an ounce of intelligence will know how obviously easy it will be to get around this profiling schema - can you say "each buy thier own ticket under a false identity for the same flight" ?
And I thought I'd erased all my old embarrassing HTTP handywork....until I discovered my old website nicely archived - bleargh!
Ah hell, may as well keep it there - it's even got my old web-based Curriculum Vitae on it too - perhaps in some way I've now been "immortalised"??:)
I've not touched HTML ever since those first abortive attempts I made 5 years ago, cause I realise now that I'm pretty crap at it - I'll stick to Unix admin, what I know best;)
:) ok I'll try to update to those packages... perhaps it's because I'm using slightly older versions than the ones you're using... thanks for the info:)
Hmm I'm now downloading the latest clean source of kernel 2.4.16, and will try to recompile it - I was geting compilation errors - perhaps because I'm using Mandrake 8.1 kernel packages? They seem to include a lot of guff that's not in the Linus tree...
Sorry matey - read about the Regulation of Investigatory Powers (chillingly the R.I.P. Bill - RIP civil liberties bill in other words), that we have in the UK. One of the nasty things is they can demand your encryption keys or passwords for any encrypted files you have , and it's practically an instant 2 Year jail sentence if you refuse to provide 'em.
"The important, and difficult, job is to fight the temptation to give up, and keep on fighting for our rights."
What rights? They're being very rapidly dispersed matey. And it seems that there's nothing anyone can do about it - either a few of us are the only remaining sane people in the world, or we're mad and it's the "authorities" and "they who are in power" that are the sane ones... either way something definately smells of the brown stuff...
The silly, and scary, thing about this, is that the worlds population would kick up seven shades of shit if the authorities said "we're opening ALL your post before you receive it AND after you send it, and shove your rights right up your ass" - which is precisely what is happening with our internet data - they are basically opening the envelope and inspecting every packet.
The "powers that be" are meant to be working FOR us are they not? Not being paranoid ABOUT us? Oh sorry, I thought the UK (R.I.P. Bill) and the US (Whatever you lot have got) were "democracies". Seems like the definition of democracy has changed to "you can do whatever you like so long as we know what it is and that it's not harmfull to the "government"...

A Beowulf cluster would be fantastic for this - imagine it - parallel new duping!
*snicker*
Damn! There's been a change in the Matrix!

Yes, I'm an idiot :P ... D'oh!

The motor we bought was from Kosdon - and he's a dude, too.
Good luck to Ky's group anyway

Thank goodness! I was waiting for someone to mention John Logie Baird - the REAL father of television, and a fellow Scotsman to boot ;)
;)
Silly Americans!! Next they'll be claiming they invented golf!!
Yes, but Bash, Netscape etc. doesn't trasmit that dat back to an 800lb gorrila, my friend.
There's your news.
"Fly's like a brick" might have to be re-evaluated.
Is a fully immersed version of the game...

;)
i.e. put on my VR helmet and gloves...
Looking around with my head moves the turret, hands do sterring/jumping/shooting...
I can only dream
If you ever see "Resistance Is Futile" in a game of bzflag, that'll be me
Wheeee :) Now we'll have the "Hurd is better than Linux because" arguments, and the "Linux is better than Hurd" stuff too :) And we all know what Linus thinks of microkernels :)

"or maybe help grow new ones"....
So if I, in the future, teach my currently 4-week old son C programming and show him the Linux Kernel source, then......?

Doh! Nope - still getting the same crummy compilation error - argh! :(
OMFG!!

Thanks for telling me that

Try that
Yes but Bestcrypt is not compiling against my 2.4.12+ kernels , and I wish they would sort that out :)
I fail to see how what I wrote could be classed as a Troll, as that was not the intention - I'll put your gag back on my mouth now.

Normally I don't respond to obvious trolls like this, or swear in them either, but...

You stick to your priorities, and we'll stick to ours!!!
