I'm not sure, but those could all be the same airplane. They seem too evenly spaced for coincidence, and are too close (both in location and trajectory) to the limits I would imagine the FAA sets. Also, all the planes look identical.
The probe is going to separate. The part that impacts will be taking pictures (and sending them back) up to the moment of impact. The other part will observe from a safe distance.
The rules are just the way we understand things. When something breaks the rules, it means we need to put the rules back together so that they aren't broken as easily.
There's a difference between defying human theories of physics, and defying nature.
Really, shouldn't there be 2^n classifications of knowledge, since you could know that you know that you know, or not know that you know that you know, etc.? Where n is taken to be some measure of confidence.
Really, though, unless n is infinite, it's hard to make definite claims on anything since we don't know that we know the first link in the chain, and all proofs are based on assumptions, so we can't prove anything to be definite. So, how can we know anything? I think we should use the word think instead of know.
cognitive science is a bottomless pit, if you ask me.
If your books are printed on acidic paper, which they probably are, you had better get them laminated or deacidified before they become brittle and crumble. I'd be interested in seeing a study on long-term storage, since CDRs decay in sunlight, magnetic surfaces (tapes, hard drives, etc.) have the problem of adjacent regions slowly affecting each other, and even our own brains don't store memories accurately. If routine backup is the only way to make sure data stays around, what about the problem of having a copy of a copy of a copy [...] of the original.
Looks promising, considering what some people are saying about the future of oil, and the future of energy sources. http://www.lifeaftertheoilcrash.net/
How about the library stores a database of any requests made by the FBI. Library patrons can then search for any information related to them, and will either see "Your information has not been requested by the FBI", or "We are forbidden, through the PATRIOT act, to inform you of FBI searches." Seems like an easy way out, no?
Turns out it was... We have a generator here which is connected to the same power grid that was acting up yesterday, and the fluctuations were too much for the generator to handle. (I'm not an EE, so I'm not sure how this happened.) I haven't heard about any other building on campus that was affected by this.
So yeah, add College Park, MD to the list of affected cities.
Look at the FAA: They are funded with tax dollars, but a lot of people don't feel safe flying (even before 9/11), and choose not to. That doesn't mean that the FAA should be privatized, it just means that it isn't necessarily going to benefit everybody who pays taxes.
I had to do something like this at my job a few years back, and being unfamiliar with other technologies, I produced graphs using single-pixel wide div tags with the appropriate color. While this worked, and was easily extended to produce axis, labels, and so on, the overhead is far too large. What would have otherwise probably been a 20k gif file ended up being a 2Mb html file.

Right after 4:00, the building I work in at the University of Maryland (CSS building, if you know the campus) lost power. I wonder if it's related.
