I have mod points, but wanted to reply to this instead. I can't believe this is modded as a troll. Insightful, maybe. When was the last time America did something truly amazing like this? A previous post highlighted that as soon as politics gets involved, science loses out. I hop America does decide to send a manned mission to Mars, but not at the expense of the valuable data that this and other probes out on the edges of the solar system provides.
So nagging is how the Jedi mind trick works...
"I wanna go about my business. I want to go about my business. I wanta go about my business. I wanna go about my business. I wanna go about my business. I wanna go about my business. I wanna go about my business. I wanna go about my business....."
To quote the article...but possibly stray a little off topic
So here I wait, stuck in dial-up hell. Why weren't these the questions raised in the just-completed general election? Ah, well. Now I understand why there are so many pubs in Britain.
This is because we have a very skewed view of what democracy is. Roughly two thirds (!) of our population didn't want the current government in and yet they still retain power. Since the election, we've heard of a new fleet of nuclear subs, a new programme of nuclear power stations, a high stree spending crash. But before the election none of these issues which the voting public would have been interested to know about were there.
Maybe this would add further weight to Hawking's proof of the black hole information paradox. If the anti gravity bounced 'stuff' back, perhaps Hawking's equations are simply predicting this? Or maybe I'm talking crap.
The University of Southampton has launched a new semantic web interface, called mSpace, that it says will make searching for information online, and learning about a subject, much easier.
mSPace is a framework that gathers information sources and presents them to the user in a single window. It can potentially be applied to any subject, provided the basic information is available. The researchers say this means users will no longer have to wade through lists of undifferentiated data when researching a subject.

Dr Monica Schraefel headed the research project, and put together a demonstration based on a search for information about classical music. She contrasts the semantic web approach with that of Google or iTunes, both of which return long lists of links or tracks.
This is useful up to a point, Schraefel argues, but supposing you don't actually know much about classical music: how much would you learn from these searches? The semantic web interface, meanwhile, brings together audio, text, links, and images about the domain, in this case classical music, in a way that people can explore the subject more fully. Wrapping an mSpace around the data allows the user to preview music, learn about the history of each composer and so on.
The researchers have applied the same framework to film (through IMDB.com) and academic research, and say it can be applied to any subject. They have released the framework to SourceForge so that other developers can take the basic ideas further.
There is a demo of the classical music mSpace running here for those with Mozilla based browsers. More information on the project is here. ®
Apologies for replying to my own post but just thought of something else.
You'd also need another coat of paint for the return journey. Either you need to carry another sail that could replace the first or bring along a few cans of paint and do the painting on the (micrometre thick) original sail. Hmmmm.
Yeah, I thought of that after I'd posted. How's about sending a conventional rocket to mars with the microwave emitter as payload first, robots could deploy it and it could be activated by remote. Not sure what commercial benefits this would have though...
It'll be interesting for you to read this in a couple of years time. You'll no doubt be thinking - "Bloody Hell! I thought a gig was a lot back then. How archaic..."
Javalution is the actual JADE project that provides extensions to the base Java API to allow for real time processing. Provides better string manipulation, faster utilities such as FasterMap
JScience's vision is
To provide the most comprehensive JavaTM library for the scientific community.
To create synergy between all sciences (e.g. math, physics, sociology, biology, astronomy, economy, etc.) by integrating them into a single architecture.
To provide the best on-line services (webstart) for scientific calculations and visualizations.

"Rule #915, released Tuesday, contained a routine that quarantined all incoming e-mail containing the letter P. Trend Micro discovered the bug soon after releasing Rule #915 and issued Rule #916 to fix it an hour and a half later."

Yeah, but your word is in the dictionary, whereas justforaday's word isn't in any dictionary.
Saw Sith on Sunday and it was definitely Democracy.

The current state of western democracy sucks.
One good idea I've heard bandied about is to have a wireless HDD. I'd certainly get one.
maybe if it was .pron...
I was with you all the way up to "This idea..."

The demo says it requires a Mozilla based browser for standard JavaScript compatibility...

Deploy the sail behind the craft and apply a measured version of the same technique used to accelerate the craft for deceleration...

No! You receive your pr0n faster but the decompression means you can't view it as quickly. So, net result, pr0n at the same speed. Great!

You're not a lawyer and yet you speak in what I can only describe as legalese. I find the quite funny. Good points though.
