Yea, I know it's hard to come up with 4000 names, but look at this picture. It almost looks like some highschool kid didn't know his geography and just made up names to be funny...
What about these mystical sounding names, which require (mostly Latin) study to actually 'get'? These names seem more like graffiti or like a dog marking each corner for his new territory.
If a spy can have access to documents or information of such sensitive nature then your security already flawed. It then doesn't matter wherever it's a camera-phone or some tiny embedded analog camera.
In the USA, a space traveller is called an astronaut. The term derives of the Greek words ástron ("star") and nautes, ("sailor"). For the most part, "cosmonaut" and "astronaut" are synonyms in all languages, and the usage of choice is often dictated by political reasons.

Taikonaut is sometimes used in English for astronauts from China by Western news media. The term was coined in May 1998 by Chiew Lee Yih from Malaysia, who used it first in newsgroups. Almost simultaneously, Chen Lan coined it for use in the Western media based on the term tàikng (), Chinese for space. In Chinese itself, however, a single term yháng yuán (, "universe navigator") has long been used for astronauts and cosmonauts. The closest term using taikong is a colloquialism tàikng rén (, "space human") which refers to people who have actually been in space. Official English text issued by the Chinese government uses astronaut.
He said the civil war would be "expected"; since the elections there's been an ongoing rising tension in the US as I'm able to observe it from a distance. It's been rising, and now with Katrina it seems to become quite heated. But I could be way off, I really hope so:)
"The bottom line is we have a very unsafe planet."
The poster seems to imply there's nothing wrong, and accepts the fact our planet is "just very unsafe".
I thought these disasters are getting progressively worse and more frequent due to the effects of global warming and pollution as there's been proven there are links.
The heatup we have now is from the past generation. I don't want to, but will, see the results of our generation...
And I refuse to hear it's "normal as climates change" as it's natural. Climates don't drasticly change over a course of a century as far as I know. But I wont take the risk personally to stand fully behind the other conception.
I just want you to know that English isn't my first language, but my fourth.
Which speaks in my advantage instead of flagging me as an illiterate monkey.
So please don't go into "America is going to waste"-mode based on my lack of proper grammar in the morning.
I could suggest you a few causes of why America is dropping like a rock, but I'm sure you're intelligent enough to come up with something yourself.
Don't they use already the "waste diamond" which or is discarted diamond after sculpturing it (of which I thought 60% decrease of original size of the diamond after sculpturing it) or diamond which hasn't the purity for jewelry yet is good enough for industrial applications?
You know that for the bigger amount of hermit slashdot crowd porn acts as a vicious circle?
1. Approach a sexual attrative specimen 2. get turned down, give up (on chicks) 3. Create a sexual outlet through porn 4. Feel frustrated about not having sex after/during porn-sessions 5. goto 1.
It's the paradox of the geek; Generally slutty people are considered less cerebral, yet the most intelligent among us cannot get less cerebral people to copulate with us by trying to outsmart them.
In a positive daylight, one could say by the 'easy outlet of sexual frustration throught porn' one might void the time- and energyintensive need to go out and become the most desirable male-specimen to mate with. All the vast amounts of energy wasted in that process can be used for a greater good, as most geeks seem to do. Unless one gets dependant on the "release" of both hormonal as other organic substances and end up living a lonely life with fleshcoloured pixels.
Well, study showed the same about alcohol.
It doesn't mean getting drunk every day is a healthy thing to do, as is maintaining a caffeïne addiction. Moderation in things is key I believe.
I just know that quitting the whole coffee-addiction had benefits for me personally.

No torrent for said investigated material?

For those having their humor surgically removed, from wikkepedia: astronaut, cosmonaut, spationaut or taikonaut (yuhangyuan):

I'm curious how the Malaysian version would be called.
Malonauts?
Yes please.
... figured out a way to get a manned probe to the moon?
I read his article yesterday when interiot quoted part of him in a post in relation to the article with the interview with Bill Gates.
He used those UFO's they have laying around which they built with the help from the Germans engineers after WW2.
note the "nearly".
:)

So John Titor was right?
So China will eventually put the first man to the moon?

The funny thing is that even he said, when comfronted with the quote;
"I've said some stupid things and some wrong things, but not that."

Yesterday I read something about TWO TB, IN A LAPTOP! Ha!
(for those failing to detect the humor, I know yesterdays' article was a hoax.)
# Lot's of other sites use it, so it must be good.
Lot's of Lemmings are jumping off cliffs, do you want to be a Lemming?
Lemming suicide is fiction

You have billions in funds for the US army, and have the most advanced weapons. Yet you couldn't retrieve a guy on a camel.
OMG! DON't LET IT GET AWAY! SEND THE AMERICANS TO RETRIEVE IT!
ON second thought.. I slightly recall the "retrieving"-abilities of the US army and some guy who's bin pretty laden.

Synthetic diamonds could bring down the value though.GEFAC
