If America is ignoring the 67 treaty, whats stopping them from ignoring other aspects of previously agreed space treaties? I'm thinking along the lines of owning land on the moon, Owning and charging rights for usage of lagrange points or orbital paths. Slowly owning...uh sorry... 'organizing' space for the good of humanity. And you thought that mission to X ray the moon was a waste. Own all space around a planet and you own any means of getting off it - Naboo case in point.
Unless we dig up stargates pretty soon we better start saving up for lease options or fighting for our own peice of virtical teritory.
I heard somewhere (don't hit me) that the moon could be hollow. The ejecta formation hypothesis sujests that the lighter surface material of both early planets goes mostly into the smaller of the 2 resulting planets. The fact that the moon (mostly) orbits the Earth shows (doesn't it?) that the moon is a lot lighter (or is that less dense?) Either way a chemical reaction inside a large lump of mostly silica could make a large hollow bubble that would cool quicker as the surface area grew. How much power does the X ray on board have? Is it only supposed to measure surface material or can it see further into the crust (1 meter?, 20 meters?) of the moon?
Anyway, If noone else thought of it, I did first and copy-righted it. You all owe me when the news comes in. Moon - Hollow!
Lunar Eclipses hapen all the time... well sort of, But falling paper!...well that happens all the time too but...........She folded it 12 times and shes cute looking and she got an A without having to...do any...thing. test test, is this thing on?, can you hear me up the back? Try the veal. I'm here all week, thank you, your beautiful.
...So....how long is a conventional average roll of toilet paper? and come to think of it... if her roll os that long, how much time befor she needs to get a new one? (how big would the roll holder be?)
No ghosts and (suposedly) heaps better responce time is much better than the second hand CRT I was using last lear, which had burn in of previous companys logo. I guess the guy who worked on it went on holiday and left his screen on... Wonder if new LCDs will have a hidden down similar to plasmas (colour fade) ? I'm just waiting till direct neural wireless interface is invented so I can burn out my optic nerves watching ultraviolet!
How is Steve doing by the way? Is there a website (preferably with live cam) letting us know of his progress? has the object cut from his body made it to ebay yet?
Just some ideas - genetic algorythm for the design of fuel tank or whole shuttle. - New better process for applying insulation to surface. - multiple layers to insulation. - different type of protection altogether than tiles on surface of shuttle (100's layers of cooked on diferent ceramics?) - Space elevator? - Big dumb booster? - Spectra fiber rope lift? - NASA actually listening to experts? - robotic missions? and on and on... I suppose it will all come in time.
someone (anon) posted an interesting, if not on topic, piece with all the same stuff as in this story (slightly skewed) but in the Eye transplant thing below. It made more sence than the current posts so far.
I could understand if the boy was made blind, or was blind in one eye, that he would be able to see after a transplant, but for boy to be able to see (with the transplant) having not seen befor? I just don't see it. His optic nerves and brain having not had the input would not be used to the signals he was recieving and would take alot longer to get used to them if they were recieved by the brain at all.
It could be a case of 'Blind' as in 'technically blind' such as light reception through the optic nerve but completely fuzzy due to interference? How about "There is a ball on the desk in front of you. Reach out and grab it if you can" ball being black on white table he could see it. Please post next article if there is full eyeball and op nerve transplant and subsequent vision recovery, thank you.
Yes, yes , marketplace and all that. I just wish they would do something about those bastards who didn't pay for the laptop. You know who you are, and when I get my hands on you why I'll...so help me.... I should have known something was wrong with the address being in the Ukraine.
How about a group of employees donate hard time (weekends) to comunity projects that actually do something positive. Much more percentage compared to work time and probably more useful (might get something useful done). 1% smells of cashing in for good press. Your all right its not nothing, but it almost isnt something. Add a zero and overtime and we would all be impressed 10%!
I think that it is more likely that by the 3rd or 4th explosion of their local volcano, the townspeople had gotten used to grabbing everything of value and running for the escape pods... oooh sorry I mean fishing boats. Can you imagin the volcano drills that the local volcano warden practises with his wrist computer*cough* ow sorry I meant wrist sundial.
How dare you for thinking of anything other than "Brain" in response to my question of...If they can be programmed for disasembly and repair of diseased and lacking tissue, can the build me a bigger....?
If all those motivational Millionairs are selling CD's laced with subliminal messages to help you to suck seed the way they have...how come there are not more of them?
I think that they are embedding a message that says something like ' you will get better in whatever you are wanting to bit only a bit better and no more till you buy the next CD from . You will also feel compelled to tell everyone you know how good is and how they should buy it to improve their lives. When you have a great idea that you know will make you heaps of money , you will fall into a deep sleep, ring this number and tell the operator everything you know In 6 months time any good spirit will wear off and you wont be sucssesful at all. You will however be left with an empty feeling inside untill you buy the next CD only from '
I know if I was making/selling these cds this is what I would put in them. Maybe thats what the poster wants to do? hey, hang on...what day is it again...?
I havnt read all posts but has anyone thought about using a diferent bird that can carry a heavier (and therefor more Mb) payload at the same speed, OR a faster bird with the same payload?
Hey, wasn't there a TV show in the late 70's, that had the guy from the A team, and they kept refueling [who knows how] an old saturn V and blasting into space for almost no reason. Simulated quote " Quick, a billion dollar American spaceshuttle is near explosion. Lets use our second hand ship worth bugger all to go and rescue them and finish their mission for them for no praise or money" sounds like real life.
They could do it again but this time they could say " Quick, a hopelessly old neuclear satelite from the early days of the information era, is coming in to crash into earth and ruin all our good Sugarcain crops (for making ethanol) or our high efficiency solar cells. Lets use our cheap but well made MacX [copyrite] high thrust 2 person anti grav? space vehicle to nip up there and bring it down gently so that future generations can all see the folly of those goddess forsaken early years of our foremothers. All we expect is a small amout of gratitude for saving that which makes us all happy, the earth" The clone of Simon J Cannel could produce it.
I agree, no links, no real news of anything we dont already know about...Its almost as if/. is selling advirtising space to mildly interesting (read Boring) posters. The Mods are terable, the spelin' is bad, and the jokes worse. Is this whole piece going to get the record for 'Offtopics'? lets count them shall we?
I dont think the Moderator knew that Disney is handling distribution America end of the Totoro movie called "My neighbour Totoro" If the moderator did then he wouldnt have given a -1 Offtopic would he?
Thanks , now if only you could tell me how to make text into link buttons, I'd be really happy.
Now that you reminded me I do remember hearing about that, and self refrence and cross refrence is a favourite theme of hollywood. Its a polite way oy copying other peoples work and calling it 'homage' or 'giving cudos'.

If 1000th of an Amp didn't work and 2000ths of and Amp did work.... Imagine what 3000ths of an Amp would do!
How about determining where a ball is going to fall. is that crazy? then think about Roulette.

I think you forgot that it on Mac OS for now so....
1. Bosses face wont apear because most moc OS users are their own boss.
2. Porn sites, the've got the real thing, their mac users.
3. Whatever
4. Macs are their religeon.
2 mirrors facing each other on this system would make the Dr. Who Begining images AND soundtrack!

I havnt read all posts but has anyone thought about using a diferent bird that can carry a heavier (and therefor more Mb) payload at the same speed, OR a faster bird with the same payload?
Also......
Could this (using birds) be a spam proof?
What about viruses? Avian flu?
What about a Trojan Horse? poisoned feed?
Is this the new speed race?
does anyone care? It is fun to think about.

I don't know... I like Trinity in the Matrix movies.
Maybe he meant to say 'Philisteins'?
