The reason is that China controls the currency and pretty much fixes it against the dollar. When the euro rises against the dollar, then yuan rises a bit as well. BUT, China is the one with the monster holding of our dollars and increasing at exponential rate. The yuen should be rising against the dollar if it was traded freely. But it is not. BTW, same issue with India.
I have seen this. I used to work in a start-up and saw 2 seperate incidents. In one case, I was hiring for coders. Found a gal who was interesting. She had married a GI and moved to Northern Colorado Springs. Since we could do the work over the line, not an issue. I interviewed her and she was not interested. That is, until I mentioned taht we were doing work for DOD and NSA. Then her attitude changed dramatically. She very much wanted the job. Ok, not a big deal.
But a year later, we were looking for funding. Found a Tawain born guy from Loveland who use to own the chinese restaurant there. He wanted to invest. But he insisted on getting control of the hardware (which was the important part) if we defaulted. When would company be considered defaulted? When he said so. Told him no way. So, then he wanted to buy hardware and said that he would sell it in mainland china and we could all be worth 30 million or more. The hardware was only 1M. But he explained that mainland was willing to pay 30 for it and might go higher. I was actually shocked since I considered him Tawainese and would not do that. My opinion changed when at a slashdot posting, a tawain native said that the chinese who came there STILL consider themselves chinese, not tawainese. The original guy may not have been a spy. But, he was all too happy to sell tech to them. More interestingly, he indicated that he had been in touch WITH mainland china.
No, this is absolutely not propaganda. This is VERY real. Chinese ppl are happy to see their country coming up. And I understand that. But chinese gov is STILL in a cold war with us. They are very much spying on the west and buying tech. whenever possible. And yes, it is the west, not just America. That includes countries like Japan, Australia, Canada, France, UK, Israel, etc and even Russia.
In fact, I consider your statement far more propaganda, because you have NO IDEA of what you are talking about.
Actually, there are a number of planes before BWB. B2 comes to mind, but so does the northup and a number of other models. As to the speed, Boeing has NEVER liked it. When MD had this, back then, they felt that it would be less than 10 years to production. Sadly, Boeing bought them shortly after that announcement. For the amount of research that has been put in already, has shown that it could be ready in under 7 years. i.e. 2015. And that is NOT being super aggressive.
As to the passengers, I did not suggest a passenger plane. I was saying tankers, bombers, and cargo followed POSSIBLY by passenger. Passengers hate not having a window, though I think that multiple cameras would help alleviate that feeling. And yeah, those out further on the wing will get the same feeling that I use to get in DC-10 rotating when I was sitting in the cockpit(no kid will get to do that anymore). I still love that feeling, but the average passenger will not accept it up front. But in 15 years, when fuel costs are high (even with algae fuel), then passengers will accept it for the 1/2 pay. My guess is that Ft. class will be in the middle, while coach will be outside.
Boeing can make it happen. The question is, does the country want it? If so, then we will push it.
I am amazed that W did not use the tanker program to develop the X48. 600+ aircrafts. Boeing could then spin it into a new set of bombers as we as cargo. By that time, small airlines would pick it up and within a short time ALL AIRLINES WOULD DEMAND IT.
I am hoping that Obama will take this opportunity to do just this.
hehehe. My dad was air force. Ever heard a b-47 with a JATO pac take off? Makes the 727 a whisper jet. Even the DC8's (which were much noisier than 727 or 707). What was cool was to see the practiced take off for a squadron. something like 10-15 seconds apart. pitch black. My understanding is that only the lead could see anything. If an accident occurred on take off, my understanding is that it would be SEVERAL aircrafts collosion before it was realized that a problem had occurred.
If they stumble upon "water" in a vacuum, they have a bigger problem then the tweel. They will be in an area in which our known physics is all wrong. Water does not exist in a vacuum.
while he should not have been asked, he also should not have answered, and even more so, should not have answered with a lie. He is a lawyer. He knows what is legitimate and what is not.
that is a pretty darn good idea. Hmmmm. I wonder if Rove would out W.? From the ppl that I know, that knows him, it sounds like he and W are the most spineless of them all.
Yes, those were on the TV. But carter was correcting the nightmares that Nixon and Ford created. Basically, he had high inflation because Nixon took us off the gold standard AND Nixon/Ford tried to regulate us out of economic issues. Remember WIN (whip inflation now)? I do. What a disaster that was. In addition, we had stagnation due to high oil prices (sound familiar?). That created stagflation. Carter pushed the Fed aside for volker who increased interest to solve our inflation issue (of course stagnating the economy more). In the mean time, Carter deregulated the Airlines AND oil/gas. The airlines dereg went in under Carter and oil/gas was to start 6 months after the election. reagan moved it up and still takes credit for it. Carter, like Poppa Bush, did the right things for America. They both paid the price for it.
The odd thing is that I seriously doubt that Obama can do anything BUT follow the same route. Pubs have left us in the exact same place; horrible economy and dependant on foreign oil. Of course, this time, we are in a REAL mess on the war front, where back in the 70's, it was Nixon getting us out of the mess. And back then, the dems and pubs cared about the deficit. These days, the pubs have ran up monster deficits like no tomorrow and the dems appear to be following the same footsteps.
While his lying is NOTHING near to what Nixon, reagan, or W did, he still lied. I believe that we had no excuse to ask him what we did, but he did lie under oath. There is ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.
Now, all the rest of the items that they tried hard to pin on him was a joke. And sadly, his presidency is tainted by the lie. But had it not been this, then it would have been something else. Neo-cons would have a fit if Jesus was walking amongst as a black or as a democrat. Odd thing, is that both are FAR MORE LIKELY than Jesus being a white republican.
why is there not a small sat. that can be deployed around there to help them? Seriously, it should not be that difficult to come up with small sats that work out there, comm link to the ISS, has several small cameras, and perhaps a small hand. The most difficult part would be propulsion. Everybody wants to give it compressed gas. But it might be better to consider alternatives. This would be a useful item for selling to Bigelow. If I were one of the small space prize companies, I might consider doing this.
So did Poppa Bush for reagan and all his henchmen. While reagan was not directly pardoned, Poppa bush had earlier stopped all investigations into this.
He could not pardon ANYBODY on his staff. The reason is that if they are pardoned, then they CAN be forced to testify. That is why Libbey was not pardoned. He is still guilty. Just his sentence will not be carried out. That is also why Dems are waiting. All I can say, is that Obama NEEDS to allow all the investigations. Nixon, reagan, Clinton, and W have shown that ppl with out a moral characters will be corrupted. And it is possible that Poppa Bush was in the same vein, just not caught. Probably the ONLY honest pres was Carter.
I am amazed that this is not investigated esp by the media. The polls showed more than 20% differential against Stevens just 24 hours ahead of the vote. So how did it end up this close? The odd thing is that it was the mail in votes that KILLED Stevens. So, how did the election get turned that much in just 24 hours?
Lynx OS is EAL 7, and has been for a while. It will be quite some time before Greenhill makes it to EAL7. In the mean time, Lynuxworks uses Linux API, so that you have your choice of a real linux solution, or if needed, you can switch up to LynuxOS.
On the east coast of the USA, most of the rivers are fairly steady. But were in the west, we have LOADS of reservoirs and streams. These have varying amounts of water coming from them all the time depending on seasons and all. This generator would allow a DIRECT connect and to bypass using a transmission. It really could open the door for a number of new hydroelectric operations IFF it is inexpensive.
I have been amazed that they are not in MicroCenter or fry's with OO, mysql, or even solaris. Put these on DVDs, buy the shelf space in the Windows area as well as Linux area. Think about what they spend today on ads. This is MUCH cheaper.
Yes, some of the raw elements are wicked. Still MUCH easier to isolate those than to isolate all the complex and simple molecules, would you not agree?
You are right. Combustion is used for partial degredation. And it is a total disaster. If the plasma approach can break this all apart AND give us energy, we can nuke our medical wastes, nasty chemical wastes, interesting chemicals such as sarin, and heck even nixon's, reagan's, and W's presidential files. Nothing will be left. Finally.
THe reason is that Gates is building up ideas based on other ppl. By patenting them in a different company, they will be able to keep them quiet until the patent time.
What is interesting is that just last week I was suggesting that yahoo needed desperately to put out a call for ideas. Sadly, the only response was from a guy who thinks that an OSS fest is the same thing. It is not, and it is NOT what yahoo needs. Yahoo had good guys working there, but most have left. They DESPERATELY need new ideas that can be patented and controlled. But yahoo in general does not have that spark left. They need good outside blood. So, by holding a contest for ideas, combined with a means to not allow the idea to fall outside of the judges, would allow ppl that have interesting ideas to get them off the ground. Obviously, Yahoo would have to patent the ideas AND either hire the person (ppl?) or compensate them in some fashion.
But my guess is that companies like Yahoo (and others like Intuit and HP) will follow the same path as AOL and Digital Research.
so when they want our money, then it is Linux configured. Otherwise, they take MS. Hmmmm. Thanx, but no thanx. Besides, it is the west that is hurting bad.
I wonder if we would be better off putting up solar array around mars, and then beams power down. These landers and rovers could then have super capacitors for storage.This approach would allow us to re-use a major subsystem across multiple systems.
The nice advantage is that it would allow future explorers to have power all over the planet.

ANd it will not be population. It will be about water and resources. Siberia is LOADED compared to China.
