How could one stop research in so important area of science called rocket engines?
How a government could to that?
There seems to be some kind of plot in it
(from Bruce Simpson's page):
The strange thing is that just a matter of months ago, they told me I could export the very same technology to Iran -- despite the fact that it is widely considered to be a terrorist sponsor and similar exports are prohibited in the USA.
And then the government decided shut it down.
Note also that israeli x prize team recruits serious brainpower.
If things are not about money (or sex) then politics must be involved.
I hope that such a genius person as Bruce will either join Xprize or find another way to continue his very important for science work on rocket engines.
I've found very thorough study regarding mars radiation risk (two pages down). It contains a link to quite long.pdf document on this topic.
For those who don't want to bother downloading whole.pdf I've converted it into html, and here are parts related exactly to the subject of material shielding. Here are materials proposed. And here is a cute graph of effectiveness of the materials.
The problem with that is all free filesystems are not supported by Windows.
so when manufacturers of flash memory cards or digital camers start using free filesystem instead of FAT, windows will HAVE to support those filesystems.
Slashdot Mirror
online music stores are a boon
;))
I'm curious when they will start to sale videos in online stores?
(and when we will start to buy portable videos (of course based on linux and mplayer
First off, his hobby is working on pulsejet engines
:) I will take this lesson.
oops. sorry
he's not doing research
are you sure? he has written that the design of 3rd-generation X-Jet prototype engine is safely locked in his head.
if it also took him many years of [his] life and so many hours of hard work. I think he has invented this engine. So he is doing research.
am I wrong?

this problem is known, and Mars Society already has some solution for this problem.
Anyway if you also wanted to know about radiation on the planet Mars, be sure it is not dangerous.
Of course, Microsoft will probably figure out a way to break it so that it only works with their products but that's a different story...
or will they figure out how to put a backdoor in their products so that all spammers in the world will have a 'new trusted zombie' ?

perhaps it's a stupid question, and flame me, mod and whatever
is there anybody that holds the SCO's side?
just curious

seems unlikely, but I'd like to see it happen
hmm it's certainly a good idea, so that you can avoid _bad_people_ that do live around your neighbourhood.
I'm just curious if that breaks their privacy somehow?
was right ;-)
I remeber all my RPG cyberpunk sessions where we used those cute little crystal (or plastic?) pyramids to store data.
Once we even had to retreive one from some evil gang of thugs that ruled half of Los Angeles.
who uses bittorrent anyway?
all we have to do is wait till SCO's problem is solved.
then DVD resellers will likely to be punished.
So what you're telling me is, I can save up $10-20k, move to Poland and 'live like a god??'
yes you can.
Here is the elegant universe series All three parts.
It will be there about one month.
And it is for all those people that do not use bittorrent, and want to get this film.
thanks, it works :)
(actually I had to apt-get install bittorrent)
I've been trying those links few times.
And I always got downloaded some strange files.
Those files are way too short to be a video...
Anyone can help me in getting those films?
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << "Hello world, sombebody sue me for stealing code!" << "\n";
return 0;
};
there are at least two of them: OpenCOBOL, TinyCOBOL
can anybody imagine all those COBOL proffesionals (all at twice my age) migrating to something new, just because it's new?
bullshit, it all works now, who needs changes?
and it is called "please distribute my artwork as widely as possible, and if you like it, just send me 10$"
umm not sure - freeware? kinda-of-postcardware?
anyway, any artist can use this kind of licese. so why they do not?
