You cannot, in the short term, flood the Earth market with space mined items.
The average shuttle has a payload of 25 tons. 25 tons of any mineral/gas/whatever is not going to meet the demand, and the prices will remain constant.
Actually, space stuff might be more expensive. Imagine space-titanium golf balls These balls will soar to the moon!
The average person, or corporation, does not have the means to go to mars.
So they dont need ownership of anything.
Besides mining, lets get permanent space outposts on the moon and mars. Then do studies, learn how it is best to produce water and oxygen, which with some seeds from the earth and human breath can produce some food. Then increase the scale.
At that point we should be having a discussion on the average person going to the moon/mars
I would rather have a goatse.cx link than that. No wonder its no longer in use! Damn thing sounds like they are drowning a cat and choking a hampster!
You know how after you see something ugly you want to scratch your eyes out? This makes me want to do the equivilent with hearing, which is listening to Britney Spears.
I HATE both of the "highspeed" providers in our area.
They are both absolute SHIT when it comes to customer service, and fixing things. The one benefit of public utilities is they have far better customer service than private companies. I never have the problem "my power has been on and off all week" (california might tho), and I never have the problem "my water has been coming in at a trickle"
I realize these services are easier to regulate than bandwidth, and this is a service issue and not a customer service issue, but I think a public utility would have the best shot/funding at providing a good quality service. For the people, from the elected people!
Mr. Fenn later added Why look into renewable energy sources? We have lots of oil left.
I agree with you on the Just because "it's more than we need" right now does not mean it won't be down the road. It's the chicken and egg situation of the tech sector- no one will build it until there is a need, but there will not be a need unless it's there for people to develop uses on.
Why the hell are we so reactive to problems and not proactive? Why dont we make an entire switch to renewable energy sources within 5 years? Why not put in the infrastructure for good internet services NOW?
I cant see anyone requiring more than 10 operations per second from their computer. After all, thats far faster than you could perform those operations. And storage? Bah...if every user had 1 megabyte, they wouldnt know what to do with it.
Dear lordy...golly-gee-wilikers!
Mr. Fenn was later quoted on saying "We believe we should not pursue any research, since it costs too much. Also, we plan on cutting back on our electricity production, learning from our Californian friends. The Internet is after all, just a fad. I just peed my pants"
Go Salt Lake/other Utah cities. I hope some other locations put their balls on the line and get some public, fast internet.
Whether or not the suppliers of VoIP would be required to abide by the same restrictions as the normal phone companies, including having operators, having emergency #'s, etc.
Since the federal ruling was they dont have to follow these rules (see link in original post), they likely dont have to supply 911 services.
Personal websites are a good idea, in theory -- but, in practice, there are far too many useless, egotistical homepages
Like someone wont talk themselves up on their own webpage. If I cant exaggerate my skills/knowledge/coolness on my own webpage, what the hell good is it?
I think they should try and make some new organic stuff.
Now that we have created some procreating life, lets go a little bigger here.
What about making some mini-human race, so we can use them as slaves. I would like about 20 little guys running around doing everything for me. And I could make them , cuz im bigger! Also, make them eat old tires or garbage or something, so they dont steal my pretzels. If you have any more questions regarding this mini race, please email me at god@slashdot thnx.
PS> They can also be used for entertainment...like cock fighting. And you can gamble on these little guys over just about anything they do. "20$" says he humps my secretary's leg in under 5 minutes!
Related to this, what would one do about an older laptop without a working cdrom, with no OS on it. Wish to get win98 on it, but having issues since I cannot get my network card working. It is PCMCIA, and the boot disks/setups I have tried have not supported it, so I cant do much! It does have an a: drive which works, and the network card WILL work.
I am thinking of resorting to opening the case, pulling the HD, and putting it in a friends lappie that has a working cdrom
I would be worried about fucking with the moon too much. How can we make sure we do not get the moon out of orbit?
Cuz, that would really suck...the lack of tides alone would cause ecosystems to collapse.
On a side note, how would a space elevator from the moon work? Would it need to be much shorter (due to lower gravity), and be able to be built with existing materials? If this is the case, we could use it to launch spaceships from there!
You are correct, the clock signal needs to get stronger/faster as speed increases.
But try designing a whole motherboard using asynchronous design...it would be VERY hard.
Hence why nobody has (that I am aware of)
Clocked is much simpler...
Another benefit of asynchronous would be speed benefits...instead of something taking 1/3 of a clock cycle having to wait, it just finishes when its done.
First off...I assume Google will only be using the major networks, which are permanent.
Secondly, there are many servers, and bots...but how does this relate to an IRC database?
Servers and bots dont talk much. And I would assume google would be ignorning all mode changes
Next, IRC is not all about warez. Its the first GOOD chat system, and I still prefer it to any IM, hands down.
And what the hell do you mean IRC is unstructured? There are networks, which have servers, which have channels and users. Users can belong to channels. Whats the problem?
And google would likely just be doing some logging of channels, a simple channel listing would be redundant.
Lets say that the beam is 10 foot wide. Make the earth recieving station 100 feet wide.
Then, have sensors detect if it ever varies more than 20 feet outside the center of the recieving station to send a signal to turn the microwave off.
Build this station in the middle of deserts, or away from cities, the extra power consumed to transport it to cities is nothing in comparison to having a major accident in a residential area.
Pretty simple suggestions, but why not try and make use of this?
You stupid fuck. I am from London. Let me explain why its called London.
English explorers settled in this area. They started looking around, and found a river. They thought it looked like the "thames" river back home, so they named it the thames river. Then a town formed on the forks of the thames. So they named this town London.
So you want original city names? How about "York" as Toronto was called, which isnt original. But the US "New York" is a knockoff of York, which is also English.
North America is filled with cities, rivers, mountains, and any other thing that is named which have been named after primarily European names

Ladies and Gentlemen...we are forgetting a little thing called "the force" here arent we.
Is space mining feasible? YES! With the force.
The force is strong in this one, give him a pick and a wheelbarrow!

It works even with your pronounciation

I will never hear again.
That would be VERY easy to filter out

so would turn into

I hope it was the Palestinians.
They should steal all of the US's military items from Israel too, but you would need a million people working for a million days to do that
Asynchronous blows for non-trivial computation.
