If they reveal it, they have to account for the money going into it. Far easier to just re-direct some funds earmarked for something else to a project, than reveal it and have to face the costly scrutiny and investigation by the accountants.
Vandenberg AFB in California is the source of all near polar orbit satellite launches in the US. And I recall there being another launch site for the military on the eastern seaboard, in Virginia perhaps (?).
One of my family's friends is an airline pilot. He and his wife (who does not work) live on a waterfront property they just remodeled to include a 50-foot observation tower, interior fireplaces, customized heating/cooling systems, surround sound systems, etc. He's quite a bit of a geek, former air force, and has a fair bit of time on his hands. It's people like him who the RIAA is going to find itself seriously threatened by, for he has the time, the money, and the determination to say FU right back at 'em. And, with any luck, one of those 260-some poor souls (or preferably a few dozen) fit that profile. **AA MUST DIE! **AA MUST DIE! ** MUST DIE!
Because it may very well be fucking impossible, is the point. What he's saying is that the reality of the situation, that FTL and solar travel, may not be possible at any point in the future. And unfortunately, that's true.
I contend that it is insightful (and perhaps a bit funny as well). As far as I'm concerned, there's nothing further to this issue. If I had within my power now the ability to erase the **AA from the earth right now, I would do so. This is no longer a question of morals or legality. This is war.
Actually, three lefts make a right. Or, if you wish, the equation can be represented as 2w=xr, where x is equal to the number of wrongs necessary to equal a right. In this instance, x equals 1f, where f=finger. Which is what my response would be to such a request.
Thanks for replying to/., it's really quite cool to see someone as busy as you taking the time to not only read slashdot, but to read through the comments and write a detailed summary just to please a few inquisitive readers. Do your estimations only take into account one potential unmanned vehicle loss, or multiple accidents (or any method for salvaging the craft in the event of an accident)? Thank you, and good luck!
It's called an electromagnetic pulse. Can be generated by different means, such as a nuke, an "e-bomb", or a HERF gun. Any of which destroy unhardened electronic systems, and play havoc with electromagnetic communications.
Setting aside the fact that you are a fucking moron, let me try to clarify.
Old Term: Motor Vehicle Accident
New Term: Motor Vehicle Crash
Accident is a word that means it was unintentional. Crash, is a generic word referring to something that could be either intentional or unintentional. Therefore, being as it is less specific, they changed from MVA to MVC, to increase accuracy. Understood?
By the same logic, it was understandable and acceptable that Timothy McVeigh's bomb also destroyed a daycare center, after all, it was just "collateral damage". By your logic. The fact remains that the blood of thousands and thousands of innocents lies directly on our hands. Not to mention the tens of thousands of Iraqi soldiers likely killed.
So then how did America's patriots and revolutionaries go on after winning the war of independence? Or the Viet Cong? You just made an extremely generalized statement about a group of people who I guarantee you have never (and will never) meet.
...did this make the main page on/.? Must be a slow news day if this makes front page, and Yahoo! News has a story about nine comedians on the front page.
The S-Wing is a deliberate homage to the origin of Legos in Space-the first Classic Space sets released, back in the late '70s. The S-Wing is a deliberate re-make of the 918 http://guide.lugnet.com/set/918_1
One of the most famous sets ever made, the 918 was one of the original three classic spaceships released by Lego. Jon did not "give up", he built a deliberate homage to the Holy Grail of.Space.
Congratulations on getting posted to Slashdot. A dubious honor, one might say, but still pretty damn cool. Next up will be Gareth, methinks:)
Getting to see the fighters in person at Brickfest last year was a blast, easily one of the highlights of the weekend... Now, finish unpacking and start building those last ships!:P

Let's re-write that for a moment, shall we?
ABOLISH ALL LAWS AGAINST MURDER/ASSAULT!
it's up to individuals to make sure everyone is secure against someone wanting to cause damage to your person.
No one thought of this? In soviet russia, you spy on yourself!
would I want to drink a C64??

F***. You.
That is all.
Would you like to see Burt win, or are your relations less than cordial with him and his team?

They know. That's why they're doing this, they're too smart to make the same mistake twice.

Oh, like one of the big corporations suing the shit out of file-sharers?
