Not only would they not believe it; but, by some definitions (taking a dictatorial point of view) anyone who makes public information (read as publishes stories) or provides information to foreign governments (read as publishes stories in foreign country), contrary to the official line, or which makes available information which has been suppressed for "security" reasons, is committing espionage.
That's all fine and good if you're trying to make money on your market research -- I don't begrudge them that. However, if you are going to state a statistic as fact, you should back it with something other than "because I say it is so". Basic numbers like x units sold y units were linux. Then let the serious people pay for the report to see the breakdown.
There are some that are looking at using the White Knight 2 to carry orbital launch vehicles aloft, similar in principle to the Orbital Sciences Pegasus.
The same argument, circa late 16th and early 17th century:
I mean seriously, dragging a person across the ocean, water, food, etc. That's a major waste of time and effort. Want to invest, invest in the people who rightly put to sea and run trade vessels around Africa and into the Indian Ocean. The rest is just for fools.
IF you're going to use an inkjet then buy refurbished cartridges. They're like $6-$8/ea from any number of reputable online suppliers. Less if you're willing to buy bulk -- I usually pay around $5 or $6 / ea and get free shipping by planning for the seasonal sales then buy 2-3 complete sets of color cartridges and 4-5 black cartridges at one time. (I have an Epson Stylus all-in-one printer/copier/scanner)
the ballast used in the cfl's seem to have a limited on-off cycle life; or, the life expectancy is inversely proportional to the on time. If the typical on time is on the order of 5 minutes, you'll see less than 20% of the rated life expectancy. To achieve the full life expectancy the on time has to be greater than 2 hours. Don't use them in bathrooms and similar locations where they'll be switched on and off a lot -- use standard incandescent or better yet halogen bulbs in those applications.
MIT Technology Review is a little late here. This was covered by numerous sources back in October. Surprisingly, I can't find it in the/. archives; so, it may not be a dupe.
I used to... then one day I realize my time was worth more. So, unless I'm tapped for money I'll just buy an off the shelf solution. I have a linksys in my home office, running *gasp* linksys firmware. I don't have the problem the original poster does, because I'm limited to 1.5Mb right now.
Didn't you hear? There was a storm man... It was cold, windy and raining oceans of water. We were told to stay home. The tech was probably in his bed in the dark (no electricity) trying to ignore the ringing cell phone.
we only need to keep a low grade (slow development) program going. Other than the Russians, no one has more than a couple hundred warheads. the U.S. has, what, 10,000 or so with around 2400 in active deployment of some form. We could drop that an order of magnitude with little or no risk.
Yeah, that's a good point. The upper layers might, just might, absorb a bit of energy. But that's part of the reason the dialectric layers are a fraction (1/4) of a wavelength thick.
You can actually accomplish that with plated layers of reflective material and dialectric material. However, all I then have to do is find a frequency you don't reflect at.

no, you didn't miss anything. They did not provide any data to back the claim(s).

Perhaps, but there are certainly other important metals (platinum group, rare earths, etc) on near Earth asteroids.
We won't see it but our grandchildren might.

Most printers with piezo print heads (as opposed to thermal) can use continuous feed ink.
So, what you're saying is this thread will be shut down an.....
Forced labor. There, is that better?

The ice part is water ice. You need a supply of water.

It's a tight budget year. Perhaps VA said no, when the additional work was suggested.
Another method would be to fund a few prototype generation IV power plants. A gas-cooled fast reactor should fit the bill nicely.
I am sorry, but other than the midget crack in the first line, that was amusing and quite harmless.

Not in base 13. It is 42, like the parent poster said.
Orwell didn't have lasers shooting aircraft out of the sky, did he?
