It's not a matter of what type of cable, but be absolutely sure that there is a nice smooth conduit installed with a string to pull your chosen cable through when the time comes.
I think that the work being done by Scaled Composites will prove very useful in the next few years. Where I thank we need to see a much greater effort is in the fuels to drive these kind of vehicles. With advances in physical chemistry we could see an improvement of 2 or 3 orders of magnitude. With those kind of fuels one could put a bottle rocket into orbit!
When I first started learning new languages I used to rewrite pong in them. It was very easy to 'see' if the code did what it should or didn't. That kind of feedback can really speed up the learning curve. I'm glad to see that the method hasn't been entirely lost.
Today, if you don't have enough flashy multimedia to attract the user to stay and look at what you have to say, you never even get your foot in the door. Chances are that someone who has taken the time to learn to both use the technology and apply it in a meaningful way probably has something to say.
With a generation of multimedia oriented programmers available I expect to see a much higher degree of interactivity in many different areas, from thing like mouse gestures to multi-dimensional navigation metaphores where we can simultaniously demonstrate our interests and our abilities so that we can arrive at the appropriate 'step' in whatever process we are trying to achieve.
Newton's Third Law (for shooters): Firearms have a big kick. Generally, he bigger the caliber the bigger the kick. Start out with something lower in caliber and work your way up. If you're not careful, your shot will easily go wild and the kick might smack you right in the face. You are resopnsible for where that shot goes! Rather than just running out and buying a gun to try at home I'd suggest that you find an experienced shooter, join a club or take lessons before 'experimenting' with guns, especially handguns. Safety first!
I guess they will go for the previously enlisted for management, draft age kids for their general IQ as trainable specalists and they they will fill in gaps by selecting individuals with specific qualities (black/hat) that they need.
Remember that while each service has basic training, every Marine has a second mo as a rifleman. Semper Fi!
IMHO, while the book is argueably excellent in its own right; and exactly the kind of thing to build a through working understanding of what is going on: I wonder if the problems covered therein will remain on the cutting edge of firewall management. So, if I were using Checkpoint, I'd probably sleep with the damn thing for the first few weeks, but eventually it would find it's way off the desk and up on the shelf, where it (more than likely) is on its way to the next booksale.
Sometimes you have to get out of that anaylitical 'worldview' in order to see what is really going on around you. You may find that the best way to learn is to 'loosen' the boundaries by which you recognize yourself; so that you can begin to discover who you are and where you're going.
...in the rain, and we lived in a shoebox in the middle of the road and ate a handfull of gravel for breakfast and we had to get up to go to work three hours before we got to sleep, every day of the week!
... I will become stronger than you can possible imagine!" -Obi Wan Kenobi
I can see it now:
The SciFi channel offers a month long commercial free All Godzilla Marathon - "It's GIGANTIC!"
Gojira themed Halloween costumes.
Homade 'Tribute' films start popping up in alt.binaries.vcd.
The latest thing in Movieoke bars: "You too can rampage through Tokyo" For 100,000 yen they suit you up, you trample sponge skyscrapers and swat jets for 5 minutes. And for an extra 25,000 yen, you get to keep the DVD!
What would we see? Linus on the dart board? A first hand view as he gets implicated in monopolistic conspiracies? Would we see hit-men and tractor-tralier loads of cash? Does he personally supervise a secret cader of news-censors in a huge and omnious central control room as he struggles with his plans for world domination? How many nervous video calls from henchmen like Darl McBride and George Bush does he take a day?
Does he do that little pinky-thingy like Dr. Evil?
In the majority of Science Fiction movies, there is either a fly-by or stop at a Moonbase. Several others have a large orbital Space Station that is the start of the trip. Of the few which are direct, one is a missed moon shot.
The point is that a strong space culture, technologically advanced and experienced is percieved as having a greater chance of success. Skipping these intermediate steps IMHO will produce a more fragile attempt, focused on what we want to accomplish; but not as prepared for the unknowns. We reached the moon largely due to carefully thought out 'staged' successes. The consequence of a single catastrophic failure of an over-extended Mars mission would IMHO be far more devistating and could possibly lead to a single point of failure for the whole space program.
I bet that any day now ESR will be modifying the jargon file to include several new derogatory for business practices, and other things; all along the lines of:
SCO: (sKO) verb
To deliberately mislead, usurp or inappropriately lay claim to intellectual property. To attempt to gain by deciet. He was SCOed.
To be a pawn, manipulated by another for sinister purposes. They used him to SCO those other guys.
To cast dispersions on the integrety of rightous code. They tried to SCO Linux.
If they shape the vessle properly, the change in shape could be pneumatically driven. The real problem is that the current device that will automatically calibrate the focus for you is about the size of your head; not very practical.
For those of us suffering the curse of bifocals there is some hope. There are new glasses with magnetic clip-ons. If we can get the optometery community to mount the magnification portion of the bifocals in the magnetic clip-on, then we can have an easily mofifable full view perscription.
The shuttle uses a variety of devices to remove solid and not so solid waste from the crew. There was one mission where the fan which drives the system failed. While it did not end the mission, it was sure a stinky trip.

Fujitsu has a series called the Lifebook ($1.5K)and a bunch of others all the way down to the ST1000 ($0.32k)

If you do some digging at Brad Templeton's Home Page, his History of Spam has a different version of the history. DEC may have not been the first!
Where do you want to go today?
Is a whole other question!

That is the big news!
