This; http://machinedesign.com/article/throw-out-the-textbooks-diesel-airplanes-are-here-0619 is a production airplane already getting 133 passenger miles per gallon
per the contest conditions. its a 4 seater in current configuration but has a 950 lb load rating with full fuel. so if we assume 170 lbs per passenger 6 passengers
would put you 70 lbs over max. lose 10 gallons of fuel and your back to overall weight. this would give you 200 passenger MPG of course two would have to ride in the luggage bay
but you would still be within the planes limits. feel free to correct me if my math is off but if not and you decide to go do it and win, well 10 grand as a finders fee would be nice!!!
It seems that everyone has lost sight of something simple, obligation! we as consumers arent obligated to the recording industry or any other company.
they exist because of us, not the other way around. simply put why should it matter to us or the government if they fail or revenue drops? is someone getting paid off here?
if so find them and prosecute. otherwise let the free enterprise system work the way its supposed to. I was involved in a wireless business that got strangled by the government
using all of the 5.8 spectrum to run their 'live' road signs and cameras. up until then i had a handshake agreement with my competitors and everyone was happy. so now i'm out of a company and work!
do i have recourse? no, public airwaves were in use. point is someone came along using things as they were designed and i lost out, one supposes that maybe a switch to optical links for backhaul would have worked, but it would have been my nickel to do it, and hope it works. and assume my customers stay with me through the change
should be the same with them adapt to the 'public will' (the internet grew a life of its own and it was with the publics money and demand) or die off like any other business would. The industry has no right to survive, just an obligation to provide something 'we' like
to ensure their survival, exactly the same as my customers, i couldn't give them what they wanted so they moved on. boofreakinhoo!!!
Ballmer is gonna absolutely lose it when he reads this news ,
maybe investing in officemax,staples,etc. (whichever is brave enough to deliver to his office!) would be a wiser bet? at least for us poor/dotters?;-)
OK simple theory;
the guys that build these things aren't stupid, they know how long they'll last.
they also are aware of the political budget process. so tell em 90 days to get the budget,
then say geez its still running! youre not gonna make us shut it off?
job security!
profit!
fame!
pick one (or all 3!!!)
OK the usual disclaimers apply here. lets assume that the new nerve endings grow 1mm a day, thats ~ 1/4 inch in a week i.e. your typical pencil eraser nubby. should be enough new matter to make a good solid connection?
So now we have connection where we didn't before. one would assume this woman walked in the past? If so you have the worlds most powerful computer in communication with a network it used to know! (the brain and the lower body, its pathways sensors actuators etc.)
So we have comm at some ridiculous baud rate going on? the computer/brain remembers what it used to do tries it and gets an error keeps trying till it gets feed back that makes sense. stores that as the new map for that sensor/nerve ending, actuator/muscle.
the woman decides in typical human fashion to try her 'sea legs' and discovers its not as familiar as it used to be but she can cope with it, we are talking 19 years after all.
Is this that far a stretch? We definitely need more proof but on a strictly conceptual basis, and a cant believe how quickly i've healed after chest surgery. i'm inclined to go forward with an open mind.
As for politics, if it does work and a few 'celebrity' cases appear things will change so relax everybody and go back to flaming microsoft or SCO or something.
Playing 'god' with repair as opposed to creation is basically a natural evolution of society's unwillingness to let the sick die as they would by natural selection. if you are going to go against the order of things (letting the old woman die because she cant fend for herself)then go down every avenue neccesary (stem cells , witchcraft, or whatever else seems sensible)and if you succeed be proud of what you've done!
Just my 2 cents worth. ( dons asbestos suit and ducks )
Does any one know the approximate licence costs if this was paid for the 'thousands' of servers they use?
If google 'paid' this cost would they still be in business?
I'll bet it's a scary number;-(
what does this mean? only thing makes any sense is BIG OLD FAT HOG somehow i'm not sure this is what the poster meant. or did they? LMAO! (laughing my ass off);-)
I've been down an interesting path; car mechanic, cable puller, network admin, roofer, long haul wireless installations, trailer park manager. and what i've learned is passion doesnt have a damn thing to do with it. i work to survive and fund my hobbies (building custom harley,s (yes i'm a "biker") current job is one of 4 guys running a 30000 customer isp. pays well and lets me enjoy the wife and kids and my hobby. i would happily shovel sh*t for the right pay as long as the missus smiles when i come home at the end of the day! having said that its just a job take pride in it and YOURSELF and get on with it. if you want to write cool software do it as a startup or perhaps work for google? i write code to be 'lazy' ie. a script that lets me send the bean counter current sign up stats daily by e-mail rather than have to babysit him for an hour every time i get asked where to put another modem bank. not 'cool' but it gets me home on time so i can play! think about it?
Haven't seen the EULA for XP embedded but the consumer one says do not use for 'mission critical' applications. somehow an airplane seems kinda critical? sounds more like VxWorks or QNX would be appropriate.
First off i work towers tall buildings so i know a little about danger
This "rocketeer" has 3 kids and does this stuff with no safety equipment!
anybody know the name of his insurance agent i want in on that policy.
Hello Vegas here we come!!!
Is it my imagination or did we just give the bad guys a roadmap on how to do this on purpose? I understand the public 'needs to know' but on the other hand i need to be able to sleep at night! and while im sure this report will fade into memory as most things in our country seem to do, i'll bet someone else will remember it just fine.

does 2 extra rows of beads make it IPV6 ready ;-)
sure try alvarion-usa.com
hmm silicon saphire and gold!!
be ready when they miss
Profit!!!
no seriously this could be the mother lode of a scandal if they miss and the thing just disappears

Or was that the 80's?
Must've been used to buy them off, cause the 'best' sure aren't writing the code!

hopefully their own hardware isnt running the site gonna be tough to sell that molten pile of goo! (after only one comment no less ;/)
