It probably makes more sense to increase the the thrust to go from 1.0 to the maximum save limit over the months of travel and then on the slow-down stop at the level of the target planet.
If you're talking about periods of some sort of deep sleep while traveling, a few more Gs are probably ok while everything is strapped down. You just need a propulsion system that can alter the thrust quickly.
At the moment, there are still too many numbers. ID card number, passport number, maybe a driver's license number, a tax number for every state you worked and lived, etc.
But they are already working on a unified number that you get at the time of your birth and that will stick with you until you die.
You have to actively go out, apply for an ID card and pay the fee to get one. You can live a long and productive live and never use your ID at all, unless you're a lawyer by profession or get arrested a lot...
Not quite. You will have to use it if you want to get a bank account (and I assuem you want one). If you're younger, you will have to use it to get a driver's license, probably to sign contracts, to get into music clubs late night, to get alcohol, even to play the lottery and of course everytime you fly within the EU.
So I say you can live a long and productive live alone in the mountains and never use your ID at all.
You can't have what the article describes. If you woke up because the baby cried and talked to you wife, that means you actually got the sensory information about the crying baby.
There were plenty of choices even "at the end" for those slots.
C= always provided the basic cards and GVP and others provided the more featureful cards.
That was more than the whole PC sector at the time managed to produce. All PC CPU upgrades were pathetic ("Intel overdrive", to name one from the strongest vendor in the industry).
5 zorro 2 slots, 2 16-bit isa, 2 8-bit isa. Sadly, it was sold only by way of specialist retailers, and so had less exposure then the A500.
Forgetting the powerful video slot and the even more powerful CPU slot there?
Can't remember those in the IBM XT.
You remember the 68030 CPU/mem expansion card from C=? Even the expansion card was expandable!
(Years later with 100 times the memory of the original computer).
A few years ago I noticed that a file on a disk (probably Windows) had a slightly changed file name (one character was different). I checked and the character was just one bit off the one it should have.
Of course I don't have proof the disk was at fault. I'm sure anything inside the disks is protected.
Most likely the "disk errors" are just memory errors written back to the disk.
I interviewed some current master's students and was optimistic until it was clear that they did exactly what coursework required but weren't interested in exploring for their own interest.
I think this is important. If people apply to be a UNIX app support engineer in the year 2010 at the age of 30 and never came across Linux or and never used any Unix at home before, then there is something wrong.
I'm not saying you can't be good at your work and never bring it home. But the chances are high you will never love your job if you never even thought about doing something similar in your own time.
Or someone studying Computer Science/Engineering without owning his own computer at home until the second year. For some reason this case actually turned out pretty well, but chances are low.
Maybe it's like someone applying for a job as a mechanic because he has heard it can be an interesting job, but never done any mechnical work until the age of 30.
*Yes, walking does create wear-and-tear on the sidewalks, but such wear is minimal and businesses located along the sidewalk would pay to have them built as it would benefit their customers.
I think this scheme is already quite common (in Germany).
We pay the city for cleaning the part of the road in front of our house, we pay for the amount of household rubbish we produce, we pay a fee when visiting the doctor or getting a better tooth repair, we pay a yearly fee for using libraries if we want to use them, we pay for using city-owned car parks, we (may) pay (per mile) for using the Autobahn (eventually), we pay to get rid of special waste. I could go on forever.
All this could (and probably was in the past) be for free and paid through taxes.
So I'm pretty sure we're going in the direction you're describing.
The only problem with that is: You will also need to pay for services which should be for free, like the libraries I mentioned.
You're actually discouraging poorer people and kids to read. Not a smart move.
Now people with enough common sense an money donate yearly library subscriptions to kids.
Strange new world.
The only problem with that is: The 1.44MB disk's actual capacity is 1.40625*2^20. But I guess you've figured that out?
That's the way the conversion works, and as you can see, it's very simple to go from there straight into binary. I can automatically convert the bytes into bits in my head too, wanna see?
1.44(2^23)
Except that the bit capacity of a 1.44MB disk is 1.40625*2^23. Yes, very easy.
Also, you're right - a "system' for your password will definitely decrease security, no question about it, since any system is by definition non-random.
The most hilarious "system" I've ever seen was this one (about 10 years ago): root password is the servers hostname plus a random number. Worked especially well if you happened to choose servers names with 8 characters or more.
(I guess nowadays Unix/Linux systems often use more than 8 characters for the password. Check your/etc/shadow for MD5 and alike hashes.)
key-auth should be sufficient. The probability of guessing user name and the key is so absolutely remotely that 1 million login attempts do not get you any closer to it.
Why do you think the user name would add any difficulty to this? User names are often very short and also easier to obtain by other means.
So unless you have very secure boxes and different, long, random strings as a usernames for each of them, "guessing the username", will not be a problem.
1) Warp drive doesn't posit a traditional "go-very-fast-through-normal-space" type of spacecraft engine - it warps[*] space-time (hence the name!) in front of and behind the spacecraft - see here for an explanation. The spacecraft itself is sitting in a bubble of normal space, possibly even at rest.
At least one Star Trek TNG book and a Stargate:Atlantis episode deal with that when the protagonists encounter near light speed vessels and have no means of just flying along side.
Or there is a conspiracy and people from another universe would like to destroy ours for their own benefit and have sent our reseachers the plans for the LHC.
If anyone finds any Tungsten plates saying "YES LHC BAD BAD BAD", let me know.

9.81 m/s^2 if it falls out of the cargo hold of a transport plane during flight.
You have something to say against my M1 Abrams "jet"?

Can you get already pre-foiled wallets? Market niche?
It's not like we didn't have ID cards in Germany before. Everyone already has an ID card and a number.

"What? I thought we agreed on total body prosthesis, now lose the arm okay!"
Does it burn fuel on the highway?
If yes, does it mean I can drive in the car pool lane with it in California?
My favorite is:
"Carter, I can see my house!"

try the A2000, launched at the same time.

Sounds a bit like the Migrant Fleet from the Mass Effect universe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Races_in_Mass_Effect#Quarians).

how long until the Military starts experimenting on this!
How long until we find out the Military has been using this long since! There, corrected that for you.
The easy way: 1.44(2^20).
The only problem with that is: The 1.44MB disk's actual capacity is 1.40625*2^20. But I guess you've figured that out?

Except that the bit capacity of a 1.44MB disk is 1.40625*2^23. Yes, very easy.
a few years ago you didn't need to: 1kb was 1024 byte. it was defined like that. why don't we define 2 as 1 and 1 as 2 next ?
Yes, years ago the world was easy. The 1.44MB floppy was defined as 1.44*1000*1024 == 1474560 bytes. Oh, wait...
Also, you're right - a "system' for your password will definitely decrease security, no question about it, since any system is by definition non-random.

Forgot to mention that nuking the arctic is the only solution to this most trying problem.
Right. Do it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
