railguns up a big volcano's-side are soooo obvious!
scramjets or some rocket last stage (hidrogen/oxigen, for example, for ecology's sake) could work. Why isn't any one working on the unusual?
It's like the automobile, we esentially refine a ludicrous technology that is over a century old, and is in itself a refinement of horse-drawn carriages.
a bit of innovation, PLEASE!!!
My father was a Jumbo instructor captain. For a while he flew two Airbus models, and he often mentioned that pilots called them the philosophy planes; "Why did this happen?" "Why has it done this?" "Why has this lit up now", etc...
Crews with thousands of commercial jet hours were left wondering what the hell went on with the fly by wire systems.
He often stated he wanted real wire linkages to override the damn computer if he felt he should. That was precisely why he was paid the huge salary he received!
He often said that the one thing he did'nt trust were systems designed by software engineers, *who were NOT required to be pilots*.
It just ain't the same if there is a glitch in a drawing package VS a glitch in an avionics system!

Is it too much to expect the editors of slashdot to spell-check?
For many of us, non-native english speakers, who have had to *study* the language, things like this sorely stand out.
Please *editors*, Spell-check
Disclaimer: no relation to ANTEC, just a pleased customer.
I personaly own three ANTEC cases, and I must say they are GOOD! All three cases are in a SOHO, not very large, and you just don't hear them.
The ARIA ( my personal favorite) is a SFF micro ATX case that lets me put in MY choice mATX mobo, micro, and cooler. It has an external 5,25" bay with a spring loaded trapdoor to allow the installation of any unit without regard to the color, since once the tray is closed, it is fully hidden.
The whole thing has ONE thumbscrew to open, the rest being spring tabs. It can house up to three internal drives, has a built in card reader, it includes an optional rear slot cover fan, rubber spacer screws for mounting HDD, plenty of power headers, 120 mm. silent fans, plenty of screws, standoffs, metal brackets for multiple internal configurations, and more.
All for about $90 / 80.
I haven't pulled out my SPL meter, but the thing is very, very quiet ( one LJ4+ in standby is louder than all three ANTECS).
If you're allowed to download their music, where is the fun?
If they really want people to download their stuff they should sell encrypted CDs. THEN they will have copies all over the place!
I seem to remember that english is the language that has the most exceptions to its rules.
I speak three languages fluently, and hold my own in another three, and I believe that english is the "bitchiest". (that would be called a "palabro" in spanish...).

When will telcos realize that the greatest benefit of cellular broadband is to make it accessible to rurals, where wired DSL or cable isn't profitable?
Why compete with wired DSL et al on the same battleground? Take advantage of the unique capability!
Tiny fibers in concrete seem very similar to compounds that used asbestos. As the concrete is degraded these fibers will be released to the environment, and tiny fibers tend to make very good respiratory tract irritants (to say the least).
BTW, I bet demolition crews will hate the stuff...
How in hell is it going to reduce seek? if the rotational speed, arm speed, and disc diameter are the same, seek will remain identical. The bits under the head being closer will allow for higher transfer rates...
If we consider how much of international law it misinterprets, breaks, or simply ignores ( the list is waaaay too long), the US is certainly the primary rogue state.
As usual, the ones with the most money and lawyers win. It is not always the case, but it is so common, that in cases the little guy wins... They make a movie about it! ( and in this case, the MPAA would get a piece too!)
So, trademark GoogleMail, whose domain is gmail.com. Since when does a trademark automatically give you ownership of a domain, especially if you had it before the trademark?
Also, is there not a provision to prevent "reverse cybersquatting" with a trademark? I would think no judge would have any doubts.
How long have you been a professional armed person?
I have one year's experience in a terrorist zone under my belt. It doesn't make me part of the elite, but I think I can form a reasonably informed opinion.
Handguns in the hands of the non profesional are the number one cause of inocent deaths caused *by inocent* ( 'till then) shooters screwing up.
A sniper is orders of magnitude more efficient against armed forces than person with a handgun. Now try to imagine trying a coup d'etat in a country with a couple of hundred million snipers.
Hand guns are only slightly more effective than knives close range, and pretty useless long range.
Interesting that so many americans believe that a hand gun is needed. Long guns, non automatic are all that should be allowed.
If every citizen had a long gun, freedom would be preserved, and a hell of a lot of lives would not be wasted by impulse shootings.
Or maybe someone will come up with a hack for my Sony DRX-500ULX that will let me write to dual-layer discs (that would rock because I love this drive).
Check the forums in the site that has the firmware updates ( cdfreaks?) I believe the Sony is manufatured by Liteon, and that some firmwares are cross compatible!
Spaniards got rid of Aznar for screwing with The People. Let's do the same with Bush!

set it up, but make sure you have a good bayesian filter to weed out the crap.
