Im just going to quote the post right above me by mac deggar
"I think you'd do well to read the actual legislation being proposed (or at least a better edited version): the bill is supposed to take care of paid-for blogging (ie the recent case of a blogger getting money from the gov'ment to spread propaganda for their new healthcare [or was it education?] plan) and the like. It's not meant to 'regulate the internet', as the/.-headline makes you want to believe."
If you don't like the FCC so much, then why don't you do something and umm COMPLAIN ABOUT IT TO THEM! And then get more people to COMPLAIN! And then maybe the FCC will change their position. They are a public institution after all and their primary goal is to serve the people.
Take them to the supreme court if you have to.
Although atm I don't see anything that the FCC is doing to be so bad, other then that damned Broadcasting flag.
Took this from a friend "We're a schizophrenic people. On the one hand, we are proud of the fact that we are undeniably the richest, most powerful nation in the world. On the other, we are ashamed of it -- we're the kid on the playground that hates being called 'rich.' There's a duality in the American spirit that's more notable than any other developed nation's. I'm not sure what to make of it, but it's true. "
Not every single task that you can do in a workplace can be equated to finding the triforce and saving princess Zelda.
Otherwise, from the review, it seems like a very interesting book, especially for someone like me who grew up on videogames.
I think an analysis on what kinds of games people grew up with also needs to be made. For example, someone who started on an Apple II vs an Atari, or a IBM PC vs a NES. Same Generation, different kinds of people imo.
but if you have one of these Inductrack And attach a few small cheap rocket boosters/electrical coils to get the thing up to an initial speed of Mach 1+, you could then get a scramjet fired right from the start and the ship could achieve a very high velocity. From their, once air density becomes too low to operate the scramjet, you could switch to onboard rockets that would provide the last amount of acceleration needed to get into orbit. Or even attached solid rockets.
