I think it is the same old day, the one where the same old Reich is directing the brand new Euro-brain to lead us directly to holocaust.
My understanding is Canadian leadership has drifted to the right (well, the U.S. right) in recent years, a far cry from the progressive leadership of Kim Campbell (featured on Real Time w/Bill Maher last night), and Chretien and now Martin are essentially in bed with the Bush Adminstration.
Well, in Canada right is left, and left is right, well usually: Campbell was a progressive conservative, and Martin and Chretien are liberal, whatever that means. I guess like the French, this is their way of retaining a cultural identity: security through obscurity.
So, though I risk sitting in a prison cell for even writing this, I will digress:
Options for ~legal International "dodging"
Canada: Unlikely (see above).
EU (European Union): Good, if you have a reasonable amount of $$$, and the French are down with it. Some connections are probably necessary, and you most likely end up doing the "tour", France, Switzerland, Belgium, etc., jumping every 90 days or so.
Ocean: Cool, but skill is key, something not entirely lacking in the hacker community. Not everyone can pull out the ocean worthy P-Sub out from their garage and declare themselves "a man without a country".
U.S. Free Cities: Similar to the gay marriage debacle. Cities like San Francisco would declare themselves "Draft Free Zones", repeating what they did during Vietnam. Shaky, you could easily be tracked down and imprisoned by the gestapo in a situation like this.
3rd World Countries: Risky. Associating with a bunch of people that aren't all white men will quickly get you labelled as collaborating with terrorists.
Antarctica: Tough, considering the entire "continent of peace" is patrolled by U.S. Warships, but probably worth a try.
1 in 5 of the current "youth" generation is enslaved by the Bush Dictatorship! I guess this is there way to "get the rest of us".
Run, hide, do what ever you can to evade this bullshit! These bastards will have you kill without a second thought. Run to Canada, Europe, the Ocean, U.S. free cities (San Francisco, etc), wherever you can -- run for your lives!!!!
...ideally CCD chips would be embedded into the lense -- certainly a molecular nanotechnology based manufacturing process would greatly improve precision here.
This would yield resolution improvement in the realm of orders of magnitude.

I want to puke.
There has been some talk in Cold Fusion circles (www.infinite-energy.com) about changing the name from Cold Fusion to something with less negative connotations. I think Crystal Power is an apt title. Some of these experimental cells (http://www.lenr-canr.org/Experiments.htm) look almost good to go! I'm hoping to one day use these power cells in a lab of my own.
I saw the show on TechTV this morning and I keep wondering why there is still so much naivety about all these X-Prize related efforts. At least Carmack is following a better methodology... he doesn't seem so obsessed with "winning the prize" either, and the team looks like they are actually getting some results.
Never mind sub-orbit (isn't that a military euphemism?), what was the big deal about the "stunt" of orbit anyway? You are confined to Zero-Gravity merry-go-ing around the Earth in an unshielded, poorly built ship controlled by at the best old 8bit computer systems. Any when you want to go outside you have to put on an even bulkier silver coated suit which is probably 45 years old, even though there is some guy sky-diving from Canada at 50km in something 10 times lighter than what you are wearing.
I am afraid this stuff will probably go the way of early eighties aerospace, albeit on a more grandiose scale... hopefully it will go away long enough for the "real stuff", nanotech materials, new energy, inertial drives, to show up and we can all float off the edge of the Earth.

Since Chernobyl, yes it sure has:
U.S. military satellite accident in 1964 (carrying two pounds of plutonium on-board) that burned up on reentry and spread plutonium worldwide = 17,000 curies released into global environment
Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station accident, 1986 = 810 curies released
(above figures from www.space4peace.com)
I believe the next series Martian probe launches are all slated to carry fissionable materials. So we are looking at potentially poisoning the entire population of central Florida as opposed to just a couple of places like Chernobyl and Kiev. That is an order of magnitude higher. A significant improvement.
Of course an unpiloted rocket would never explode these days, just look at the magnificent record of a piloted rocket like the shuttle.

A lot of these schemes remind me of the stuff that came out in the early/mid eighties from too many conservative, quasi libertarian real estate millionaires who used hair-brained space related come-ons as tax shelters. It is not suprising how NASA can feed this mentality -- I would put them on the same level.
It is also a sick reminder to see how they could fathom using radioactive materials for power. As the decade wears on I imagine we will see plenty more of these last gasp efforts to legitimize outdated, unsafe, 20th Century technologies and mindsets.
Again, we are seeing warped vision poisoning the the beanstalk.
