Valid points. I think cabin pressure is maintained at around 75% of sea level during flight.
And while speculating i guess a takeoff where the cabin pressure was not corrected in time, would cause a rise in temperature (tho the specific math escapes me). If it would be enough to get a cell to initiate thermal runaway i can't say.
My knowledge of the time in question is rusty, but how much public knowledge was there about ICBMs at the time of sputnik? I thought nuclear delivery was still focused on bombers around that time (tho both sides would have had rocket programs considering the demonstrated ability of V2 during the recent war).
I just wonder what the point was of including such a word in the narration, as being intercontinental have very little to do with getting satellites into orbit (tho everything to do with delivering something to somewhere on the planets surface).
Iirc, the pressure in the cargo hold is the same as in the passenger cabin. This because it is easier from a engineering point of view as the outer shell can be designed to behave as a pressure vessel.
I recall reading a more elaborate story (tho thanks for reminding me about the bash.org quote, as i think i read it years ago) where a university had a old Unix server that would happily do its thing, but they had no clue where on campus it was located. End result was that they traced it by following the cabling, and discovering that it was behind a drywall that had been set up when the building was redecorated.
Yea, i suspect many of the cracking groups and such was and are in action because of the showmanship of being able to claim that one have "picked the digital lock". A bit like counting coup, i guess.
And this is why i prefer a two device strategy. One non-phone smart device, and one dumb phone that acts as the connector to the net when away from wifi.
Not just sound, movement. Any mechanical system have something that moves. And movement is something our brains are tuned for (how else to spot a predator or prey?).
Google today opened up market for more contries, both buyers and sellers.
What i would like to see tho is for them to seriously cut back, or perhaps make more fine grained, their "google experience" requirements. Right now any device that wants to have market and the google services apps (you cant opt for just market or just a subset of said apps) needs to have (pr android 2.2) a 2 mpix camera, 3 way accelerometer, 3 way compass, gps and bluetooth (no problem with that, as bluetooth have way more utility then the US-centric tech press gives it credit for. This thanks to US carriers freaking over the idea that people would upload or download to phones without carriers being payed for the data traffic). What Google should do is basically go "ok, no gps so navigation is out. But given wifi or some other data connection you can have gmail, calendar and market (and whatever other services only really need a data connection to work".
The main problem with Android is that Andy Rubin only planned on recreating his previous success story, the danger hiptop (mostly to get away from the bureaucracy that the company had generated over the years). But when Google bought his startup, and Android went open source, things quickly ended up out of control. Basically, the android that Google talks about each time their people are on the stage, and the Android out there is two different things. The Android that Google talks about assumes a phone, not a pmp, not a tablet, not a smartbook, a phone. But thanks to its open source nature, Android shows up just about everywhere. But as Google wants to mentally merge at the hip Google services and Android, they cant say out loud that there is a disconnect or else they would loose any shred of control they have left. Google have tied their hand to the robotic bull named Android, and is now holding on for dear life while trying to avoid it trampling various partners.

that the narrator use the word "intercontinental" to describe the first stage. A hint at it also being capable of dropping a nuke on US soil?
Sounds like socioeconomic politics since the dawn of recorded history...
Its kinda interesting to look back and see that while we have technically progressed since the roman times, politics have stayed much the same.
Are you sure it was because of that?
Didn't the oldest such soldier show up as late as the 70s? And had to be ordered out of hiding by his long retired commanding officer?

Someone need to keep a close eye on the place, sounds like a libertarian social experiment in action.
Skype was allowed onto the app store once they had established that it could only operate over wifi. Why not the same for this?
"password, what password?"
The age old issue of giving a fish vs teaching to fish?
And this is why i prefer a two device strategy. One non-phone smart device, and one dumb phone that acts as the connector to the net when away from wifi.
The base64 result, y5Kk6QE=, reminds me of something a url shortener would spit out. But i am unsure which it would be.
Love your sig.
Or that the cat is a ghost rather then physical...
Btw. between this and Shrödinger thought experiment about a possibly dead cat in a box, i wonder what physicists of the era had against cats...
ipad?

i guess this is appropriate right now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6XAPnuFjJc
Makes one wonder if more people would be interested if one could fire up a animated flowchart of what happens when one click something at any time.
Embed solar panels in the road surface and we can have potentially unlimited range.
Freenet perhaps? http://freenetproject.org/
Ah, x264 drumming their own drum again. If/when a source without vested interest makes similar statements i may pay attention.
