    NASA also had a need for bigger rockets, and plans to go higher than 100km. According to Professor Richard A. Muller, in his: http://muller.lbl.gov/teaching/Physics10/PffP.html class, getting from 100km to 200km requires ~33 times as much energy. Something the Spaceship One, is not nearly capable of!

  3. My Reason on Why Do You Block Ads? · · Score: 0

    I get seriously stressed by having moving/blink things i the peripheral part of sight. It goes up and down, so some days are annoying, some not at all. It is like I cant concentrate good, because I have to look at it to see what changed.

    When I am at my mother, the computer is in a open room, and people are usually there, it becomes stressful to just have them walking around. Not all the time, and usually only when I need to concentrate.

    I don't mind text ads like Google's. If one page has 9/10 non-animated ads, and one moving one, and it bothers me, they all suffer by being blocked.

    I can't tell you how much I dislike flash-based sites.

    I use FireFox with the AdBlock extension: http://adblock.mozdev.org/

    I did not mean that I hoped it would happen to me, so I could see what I would do.

  10. In sweden, but different, but related, sort of! on DVD Decrypter Author Served With Take-Down Order · · Score: 0

    Hello!

    In the same spirit, in sweden our justice minister Thomas Bodström said that they wont allow the music companys to have DRM on cd's.

    If the music companys dont follow them, they will considering adding laws to allow people to make copies.

    If you can read Swedish, here is an article about it: http://www.aftonbladet.se/vss/nyheter/story/0,2789 ,647278,00.html

    Here is my translation of it, beware of errors!

    [Translation]
    Justice minister Thomas Bodström demands that record company's stop locking down cd's against pirate-copying.

    If the pirate protection is not removed, it will be laws, he threatens.

    Copy protected cd's, is a one way for the record company's to stop the spreading of music over the Internet.

    But according to Bodström it is unreasonably that the record buyers are unable to make a copy for their own use, or move over music to their mp3-players.
    - Obviously should it be possible to make a copy of your new bought cd to a mp3 player or make a extra copy of the cd to have in the car. The business must see to it that the possibility to copy for own use is not hindered by technical measures, he writes together with some politicians: Hillevi Larsson(s) and Tasso Stafilidis (v) in a debate article on SVT's homepage

    If the record company's don't remove the copy-protection, the government will step in.

    - We wont hesitate to return with new laws should the possibility to make copy's for own use be hindered.

    from http://www.nineplanets.org/venus.html
    There are several layers of clouds many kilometers thick composed of sulfuric acid. These clouds completely obscure our view of the surface. This dense atmosphere produces a run-away greenhouse effect that raises Venus' surface temperature by about 400 degrees to over 740 K (hot enough to melt lead). Venus' surface is actually hotter than Mercury's despite being nearly twice as far from the Sun.
