What does a Democratic President being in office for another 8 years have to do with the issue? The Sonny Bono act was signed by a Democratic President.
Pehaps you need to limit your comments to those relative to the issue (i.e. A change in court membership for which a change in presidential party is not required).
It has been STANDARD practice for quite some time to not use the "Preview Pane" feaute in Outlook. Since html code is displayed as if it were in a browser, this has been open to malicious attacks for quite some time.
This is not New. This is not News. This doesn't even matter. This is not even accuratly portrayed. Selecting an email isn't the problem, displaying it is the problem.
Actually - We use a Cisco IP Phone setup at work, with some sort of auto compression of the messages at work. A normal 30 second mesage runs about 500k, and I regularly forward or recieve forwarded voicemail messages.
The aspect to look at it is, "Will GPL compliance even GET you anything in this instance"
Here's a hypothetical - Motorola uses GPL software in this phone. M make available source code and binaries on its website. M also has a Bios on the Phone that allows it to ONLY load SIGNED binaries. M will be in GPL compliance, and code changes ill be given back to the community, but YOU can't load your hacked software into the phone.
Innovation and Power are not the only qualities required for a long term "King of the Hill" status for Google.
Apple continues to innovate, but is not the first thought in computers anymore.
Microsoft innovates and is quite powerful. Is it's continued dominance a foregone conclusion then?
Henry Ford was innovative and His company was in the automobile market from the begginning. Now, It's "One of the Big 3 US Automakers" competing in a full market of Asian and European competition... no-one is on top of the hill, but competition sure has provided a variety of choices.
My point being in the end, that Innovation and Power only get you so far. Sometimes (Often) - 'Things change' and the hill shifts.
I remember when AltaVista was all the rage. Then it began to decline and I wandered, spent some time using HotBot, and now Google is on top of the heap. I'll bet that another search engine/site/(or perhaps just a rewrite of google code for Google2.0) is on top of the heap 5 years from now, but the encyclopedia of our child hood is dead as a doornail.
Except Funk & Wagnalls - Folks who buy reference material at grocery stores, 1 volume at a time (Like my parents) in this day and age, just may be the last hard core American audience for Encyclopedias.
Actually, the technical staff email is just going to root on the hosting box. Maybe it's being forwarded, maybe not. Then again, sounds like they never set up that feature.
I haven't read the article yet, but to my kowledge, modern tanks run on Turbo-shaft engines, just like helicopters, and fast water craft. Not sure off the top of my head, but I think the 3-1 comparison made in the summary is likely to go up, perhaps more to 5-1 when comparing this process to JP-8.
As a regular and vocal proponent in my office, family, and circle of friends of manned exploration / exploitation of space and its resources, I can tell you that H3 mining is very old news.
The technical limitations haven't changed in decades.
Step 1 - Make a reactor that is a net PRODUCER of energy.
Nope - I-65 runs north/south between Birmingham and Nashville and passes about 20 miles West of Huntsville. I-565 is the interstate spur (hence the Odd first digit) that runs from I-65 to Huntsville and actually passes the Saturn V Replica, and the Rocket Center where the real one is laid down.
If you are thinkning of a rocket a rest area near huntsville, I believe that's a Saturn B varient, but it's been years since I stopped at that rest area.
Cheers
A few years ago, the Space and Rocket Center, paid way too much money for a BEAUTIFUL fiberglass replica shell to be built and stod up. It is life size and is accurate. It's a wonderufl sight to see coming in 565 or landing at the airport in the afternoon. This thing is I believe the second tallest structure in the state of Alabama, and it stands out like a giant sundial when you are at 1-2000 ft.
Regardless, the original post was about the real hardware which was laid on it's side 40 years ago, and is viewable to this day. Ignoring the 'left to rot' aspect, the hardware was Unusable within a very short time, and it was understood when it was first laid down that it would never be considered flight worthy again. The $5 Mill. is merely to restore and preserve it so it looks nice. (and I do support the project to preserve it, even if I may sound like I don't)
I believe that it's closer to "Teamwork and Situational Awareness Though Video Games"
Seriously, The army is already pretty darn good at training citizens into soldiers. Your premise is wrong because you presume that violence is the desired end result, when in reality, the desired end result is soldier safety combined with an end to hostilities.
Actually - 90% of the information I find (and read) online I do consider reliable. If I didn't consider it so, why would I waste my time attempting to grok it. Perhaps this is a self fulfilling question. - What percent of your online reading / information gathering is useless? 1-5%? If it's greater than 10% then you need help with your BS detector.
"And how would detection of a gravitational wave help advance technology as opposed to pure science?"
Well...you generally need the science for the technology.
"Pure gravity research is not exactly known for its technological applications"
Hmmm. Pure electrical research was useless for centuries, but it's QUITE handy nowadays... I think I'm gonna go turn up the thermostat.
Don't prejudge unknown applications. Your grandkids may not comprehend how we lived without it. I'm sure glad I don't have to chop wood, read by kerosene, drive a horse or steam cart, or write this out longhand to a discussion journal and wait 3 months to see it in print.
Ideas that take "Serious Time" to refute, are by thier very nature the ones worth investigating. i.e. the ones that bolster the challenged idea in the end. The ones that don't take serious time, or rather, the easily refutable ones add little to the discussion, but then again, they also have a much lower cost to refute.
Now obviously, this whole argument presupposes that the suggested idea is somethine testable or examinable. The statement that "When I die, I will become a god so powerful, that it will not be worth my time to come back to prove it to you, and my powers will be so great as to be beyond human comprehension or detection" is both a "not easily refuted" and a "not worth your time to investigate" theory. In all things, there are exceptions.
"But new ideas tend to be a positive thing..." is an excellent point. - Regardess whether or not the new idea turns out to be a better idea or not, even the ones that aren't better, help make the old ideas better by causing you to attack them from new angles. If they survive, they become a better idea without even changing.
I think that these are not formed from a rotated camera, rather from statically matched pairs of cameras. The mast assembly has two pairs of cameras, one, the 'pancam' set which is color, and one, a 'navcam' set which is black and white.
And, for all the naysayers who bemoan spending tax dollars in space, please get your facts straight. The tax dollars get spent in Texas, and Utah, and California, and Alabama, and Virginia, and Ohio, etc etc etc. -
There is nowhere to spend the money IN space
They are trusting us.
They are trusting us to bypass any limitations if we feel the need.
They are trusting us to be average consumers and to not feel that need, since music files are already provided.
Grandma, my Aunt Sally, and my Brother the Lawyer all DON'T CARE about the non-copy protected music, but they will think, "Oh, isn't that nice. I can put my music on the computer" - The average consumer won't notice the DRM restrictions.

I'm not disputing that Elliott came first, just the "good 20 or so years" part of your comment.

Hehe -
I'll give you that. It was a rant. Just annoyed at my first 'troll' mod. oh well, I've lost my troll virginity now and it's all good.
My post above was in no way a "Troll".
I stated my background - Longtime supporter etc etc
I stated my opinion. - This is not news.
I stated a fact. - The same hurdles still apply.
I closed with a simple summation. - Step 1 etc.
As a regular and vocal proponent in my office, family, and circle of friends of manned exploration / exploitation of space and its resources, I can tell you that H3 mining is very old news.
