Q: And how does IPv6 increase penetration? Does it build wires to people's houses or make provide satellite dishes to third-world countries?
A: No, but it does make sure we have enough addresses once they have some money to buy the actual hardware stuff!
And when a billion $100 laptops come online in 2009, what are their poor MAC's supposed to eat? It'll be anarchy, I tells ya; dogs sleeping with cats, fire and brimstone...
All these amazing discoveries from Hubble and people still talk about abandoning it."
1. Turn Hubble 180 degrees to target the caves of Afghanistan.
2. Take pics of certain bearded rebel/former CIA contractor

4. Profit! (then turn 'scope around secure in your next 30 centuries of military-based funding)
Whats really bizarre is the sudden influx of them.
With gas recently up to $3.50/gal and heating bills expected to spike > 70% this winter, you wonder why all the recent energy articles?

Nasa method: train about 10 years for grand total of 164 hours in orbit, if program isn't shut down for a couple of years due to freezer burn.
Rutan method: train for a few months, take off on Saturday morning, fly again after dinner.
> Smart people will use technology to augment their intelligence. Dumb people will use it to become lazier.
Thus proving the lazy really are a hell of a lot smarter than most folks; how else could a phys-ed major beat out a nuclear engineer for the highest office in the land?
For an alternate view, check out Siglo:Freedom - "Manila 2004" and wonder again if we really are as damned smart as we think we are.
And how do we let the curriculum gatekeepers know that the 'core' has moved? A cabinet-level 'Core Identification Officer' like the french have for grammar? If we did identify today's core, how much of that core would we have to toss out once 2020's bigbrain.google.com takes questions like 'how many dissertations on cold fusion in the last thirty years failed to take into account doping irregularities of the palladium annode?'

Perhaps, but I think large ziploc bags might also work; keep 'em full of gorp until an deluge arises, dump (or gulp) the gorp, insert laptop and you're golden.
> Too bad nobody else could duplicate (cold fusion)
According to the latest issue of 'Make' magazine, there is a triving community of researchers who have succeeded, and are attempting to hone the process (mostly trying to figure out the magic ratio between palladium doping, heavy water, pressure and heat measurement). Pick up the latest issue; 'Make' is like 'Wired' done by Heathkit.
Why start from scratch? Don't textbooks also go out of copyright? If so, wouldn't then a 1960's vintage algebra textbook still be useful? OCR the text, scan the figures, update some of the verbage (find/replace 'groovy' with 'cool') and you have a freely reproducable algebra textbook. For history, the Roman Empire is still fallen and Napolean is still dead, right? Physics? Most of the HS-level content was generated about 400 yrs ago.
Heck, get it from Britain, NZ, Aus or some other english-based place and you've increased the pool and can select just the best chapters from a variety of texts.
If all you're doing is a lecture dump via keyboard, then you may want to consider a Palm + Keyboard. Then you're looking at 10-15hrs between charges, and you can upload directly to your PC/laptop later. I know the included memo editor was small a few years ago, but there are other editor options (even free) that could suffice.
> 1 square km for 20,000 households; 20sq km for a city of Edinburgh
So, 20sq km for 450K folk, or roughly 13,000sq km for the US. US Coastline is 6000 km w/o Alaska, or 13K with Alaska. A double line of these off Alaska's coast would about do it for the US. How far off the coast should these be?
Of course, entire ocean's about 320M sq km, and we've had transoceanic communication cables a hundred years before my birth...
> "plus I dont' have to worry about the RIAA." just the DRM that only lets you use iTunes/iPOD instead.
Actually, if you keep your iTunes for a while, there will appear more utils to quickly scrub them of this temporary inconvenience. Otherwise, I agree that 99cents is not a lot; I do buy a few more songs than you do (signed up for iTunes in Nov 04, now I have about 150 songs plus my CD rips, tho I don't own an iPod and my main computing device is a Linux laptop - yes I know about allofmp3, just that sending my CC to Russia makes me queasy - *yes* I have been reading about all the US companies and their personal data breaches, fortunately I'm not a customer of any of the ones that have made the news - crossing fingers)
For 5 cents, tho, my productivity (already threatened by slashdot addiction) would dip further as I attempted to get a digital copy of every song I own or wanted; 5 cents is schway mo' better than soring/seeking/ripping, and certainly works better than recording from an LP to PC.
> As a result, our medium costs more than two at a chain store, but since I can eat an entire chain store large but struggle to eat half of our medium, that's almost moot.
But when you get right down to it, the largest proportion of ingredients on the pizza is the flour+water+oil dough, which, although Pizza Bob's may be an Ann Arbor institution, just doesn't justify $25+ for a large pizza with a ??? items; especially when you realize a pizza is really just a flat, baked submarine sandwich.
And who can't make a sandwich?
(Tho by the growth of the chains around here lately, Potbelly, JJ, Quiznos, Subway, et al, I think NOBODY can make a bloody sandwich anymore.)
Don't recall the link, but I read that 80% of the US populations lives about 20miles from a body of coast (i.e. large body of water, so I assume they included the great lakes)
If so, this google reference says there is about 6,100 miles of lover 48 coastline. Would make then 122,000 sq miles vs Japan's 147K sq miles, thus smaller than Japan and so our broadband should be cheaper.
This may seem at first glance hard to swallow, but I suggest you take a vacation drive going west from Desmoine, IA and drive to California. Take a notepad, count all the people you see. In fact, take a single sheet, or even a gum wrapper and a large crayon.
>Landing a human on Venus is not terribly difficult. The problem is keeping him alive after he reaches the surface, and the very difficult task of getting him back off the planet again.
And a nice highlight of gov vs biz for space exploration - gov would be obligated to get him back, a late-mission board of dir meeting would result in a interplanetary memo telling the crewman he has, due to protection of shareholder value, been 'downsized' and if he doesn't return the company's ship they'll sue him.
