Noise of any type is a result of some inefficiency somewhere.
Be it the air displacement from poorly developed skins and attachments or transforming the electricity with inexpensive components.
I'm sure they can isolate the offending noise and design it out of the equation.
Still did not get a good answer on here as to what exactly was causing the noise. Although there is some good speculation.
I'm trying to steer sharply away from the deer that just ran in front of the vehicle... but the steering wheel gives me a giggle and turns me back into the poor creature now smeared all over my hood.
An extensive pre-application process sounds like they are drowning applicants with bureaucracy.
Isn't the idea behind the X-prize, "cheap" flight?
Why is it we need to bury everything in a mountain of paper? There is more paper mass to lift than payload.
I like the idea of Niven's Ringworld plants that blow off into the sky. Can't we create some genetically modified plant to do the same? Then they can grant seasonal licenses for all those pretty annuals.
What do the Space Station, the Sea and the Gaza Strip all have in common to answering a desire for a Moon/Mars base?
Well the Space Station is a good example of cost. If we can't even get it together in orbit at a reasonable price, than why attempt other more distant places?
The Sea is a vast region unexplored. Take a Google for Palm Island. If we are not building out into the sea than we certainly have plenty of space to build under it. Sea Cities should be attempted before Space Cities. Much of the same problems can be worked out in the ocean and indeed NASA does a lot of practice in water tanks before going live in space.
The Gaza Strip looks a lot like Mars. Lots of rocks to throw around at each other anyway. My point here is that unless we fix our geo political problems, Mars will become just another sandbox to behave badly in.

Just playin.

Looks like a dam good piece of kit though.
Now if I can build something that cheap to setup my Matrix kicks.

But Nmap is a MUST have tool you can not do without.
Would you throw away your hammer because it can be used to illegally break into places?
How about fertilzer? Has lots of oxygen.
lol! ya now I don't have a clue what really happened. What reality is this anyway?

I'll pass.
Fair enough, but lets *not* go overboard.
Look at the risk involved with the Shuttle and its level of safety checking doesn't seem to do much good.
KISS, Keep It Simple Stupid
When systems become too complicated you inherit more risk.

lol Ain't that the truth!
Are we not jumping the gun here?
How do we know if these guys are even guilty?
Iraq was supposed to have weapons of mass destruction.
Now look at the mess the US is in.
Trust is something I won't give away to any organization that can't respect my rights to privacy.
lol! I'm ordering while supplies last!

I figured as much, however, I was thinking when selecting "Plain Old Text" mode, it should ignore it as HTML.

Whatever, as long as something works. <|:-)
This is nothing new.
Happens all the time in business.
What do you think is going to happen to all those big paying jobs when the new generation of kids floods the market place?
I'll be pumping gas soon if the prices don't stop dropping or outsourcing.
Being close to Saskatchewan, I'll go for the launch.
Using my Celestron 9.25" Telescope with video camera, I'll give Slashdot a good update at www.spacecanada.org
That would be a nice picture. It must be on the web somewhere. Time to Google.
Wonder what an older version of the Darth Vader uniform will look like?
Without spam, how can I be sure my mailbox is working?
...
Kidding aside, spam has become easier to filter IMO.
Filters:
">[a-z]"
"lessthan[a-z]" - interesting, slashdot filters lessthan
"src"
"acirc"
Less and less of the standard emails are being sent out, so you don't need to filter out all those taboo words like , free, sex, god
The above filters stop a large number of spam messages.
Couple that with a common word to use in the Subject line, eg/ "knockknock"
and your almost free.
Oh ya, I forgot about the hull shapes.
Dam I'm going to have to re-read Niven's book again.
LOL!
As I read your comment and spew my coffee all over the keyboard and monitors.
Ya, that's not the part I had in mind.
More like the tail end of the ship coming out of the water and that poor beggar that gets flipped by the propeller on the way down.
Can't wait!
Hope they use the grandure of the Titanic, mixed with the Fantasy of LOTRs.
I love the way SC-FI is in an endless loop with Reality.
Niven said he was swammped with people correcting the ring theory.
Regardless, its the stuff dreams are made of.
Does anyone remember a game called,
:..
"The Game of Life"?
Also, there was a program that when run, would make the 1541 belch out a tune.
I was a very cool!
I miss my C-64 days.
Does life imitate art or visa versa?
There is a nice lithograph on the web site to visualize the Frame Dragging.

I dunno...the sun is a good gravity well, guess they don't want too much radiation.
Maybe they should have put it in orbit around the dark side of Mercury.
Now that would have been cool.
