If a missile can record where it hit and transmit video, that can be used for both getting info on the place hit and accuracy of the missile itself. Are there such systems already?
US Military Expenditures
In FY 2004, the US spends:
$759,145 on the military every minute
$45,548,724 on the military every hour
$1,093,169,398 on the military every day
For Fiscal Year (FY) 2004, the US military budget is $400.1 billion, which is equivalent to approximately 47% of 1999 global military expenditures.*
$343.1 billion (2002 US dollars) is the average amount spent throughout the Cold War from 1946 to 1989.
The US Congress has direct control over $784.5 billion discretionary spending for the Fiscal Year 2004. US military expenditures are 50.1% of this discretionary spending.
The FY 2004 military budget is now more than six times larger than that of Russia, the second largest spender.
The FY 2004 military budget is more than the combined spending of at least the next twenty-five nations.
The FY 2001 military budget was twenty-four and a half times greater than the combined spending of Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Syria and Libya, countries which the US deems potential enemies or "states of concern"
* 1999 is the latest available year of global military expenditure estimates. See the World Military Expenditures and Arms Transfers (WMEAT) published by the U.S. State Department.
Note: Figures include expenditures contained in the Pentagon budget and Department of Energy military programs.
Quoted from article:
In Russia (especially in Moscow and St. Petersburg) illegal collection and distribution of data on private persons and organizations is quite commonplace. Quite popular are databases on purchase/sale of cars, car owners, passport data and foreign passport data of Russian citizens, data on real estate (purchase and sale of apartments, their parameters, location and proprietors), databases of taxpayers, information about people wanted for crimes and those who have been previously convicted. CDs with such databases are easily available on the streets and the Internet. The CD can cost from USD10 to USD1,500 depending on the subject, amount and accuracy of the data. In the beginning of 2003 a mobile phone company Mobile Telesystems (MTS) suffered a massive security breach that led to the sale of CDs with MTS's entire database of several million customers. By law, MTS was required to share information about their customers with the police and government agencies. MTS claimed that the database had been stolen and that the company had started its own internal investigation without seeking help from law enforcement agencies. The company refused to provide details as to the results of this investigation. Widespread speculation and comments from an MTS spokesperson indicate that the data was leaked by a low-paid employee from one of these government agencies
Economically, I don't believe there is going to be much of a market for resold music...We just don't see it as that much of an issue
Wrong! Many many people will buy mp3s if its only 10 cents an mp3 and they would not mind a "used copy". Someone reselling can put the price so low if he has rights to the song after he is done listening to it.

that way you can get humans to grade them for much less cost. Indians can speak good english, so, they must have some teachers there looking for extra cash. Win-win deal.
Mod me down!
if we have a lot of these at movie theaters, airport queues, and wherever else there might be congestion, people can adjust their travel behavior accordingly.
I never bought a CD and never downloaded an mp3. I get my mp3 files from friends and that's all I ever listen to apart from my audio tapes and radio. I still consider all CDs to be expensive. Will never buy one till they cost a dollar each.
How many of you are like me?
In 3d games like counter-strike, someone can shoot you from behind, and its vital to be able to hear footsteps before they kill you. So, you need a good soundcard, good speakers and good ears. Your listening will improve with this kind of practise
In 'Time' magazine they have an ad every week on page 2, and this week it says the numbers are 16.9 against 16.7 for integer calculations and 15.8 against 11.1 for floating point calculations compared to a dual 3.06 GHz Xeon.
