And unlike the "Emergency Broadcast System", which relies on electricity, even during a major blackout (ahem), hopefully the seismograph won;t be located on a fault line, or near train tracks or something.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I seem to remember that when the last shuttle disaster occured, there was no contingency for docking with the Space Station in case of trouble. That itself seems like a HUGE design flaw. I hope this is wrong, because it would mean that the shuttle could not rescue people trapped on the Space Station either.
Is it true that only spacewalks and cargo transfers occur between these two specific orbitals?
Yeah, a manned-mission to Mars is looking more feasible every day . . .

Yes. There were several commercials saturating that game (Colst over Chiefs). I was casting my usual pall over the modern zen-like advertising when I noticed I was paying attention.

1. Reference to Al Gore being (un)aware, as a politico, of the Internet and possibly the regulation thereof. Ha! They (politicos) are satisfied that geeks themselves admit they don't know everything internet-related (how to regulate), so now there's no real push to come down on collusions and fraud. Yeah, I think ICANN's a joke along with Verisign and others, but - I digress.
Al Gore is also interested in acquiring a liberal news network of radio stations to compete with the perceived (rightly so) right-wing domination of the airwaves.

Sorry. I just wanted you to know I wasn;t a war-hawk. It is important to me that I do not put forth that message.
Al Gore still hasn't fixed that, has he. Oh yeah, he's trying to fix radio right now.
I dislike giving the government my personal info, and banks as well, yet I still have a PayPal account.
There's a war on, and legislation is so technically challenged that I believe we're just going to have to live with lack of regulations on these behemoths until it all gels.
Of course by then, there'll only be a few of the same old companies doing the serving. And one of these unlucky monopolies will be the fall guy.
As far as BitPass is concerned; I read a few of the setup docs and was impressed.
Another product in a similar place is Skype [About 5,645,855 downloads]. Although it is free, and other users need to have it installed on their machines also, it is poised to usurp a currently existing paradigm in communications/trade (VoIP)- avoiding cost/price altogether!
TimeWarner is pretty much done building their monopoly: Movies, Broadband, VoIP - all on 1 cable(bill). It's time for the revolutionaries to make or break, I hope they realize just how quickly they need to move in order to cross the chasm into market adoption.
Any Host or full ISP that puts these two concepts in place next week could generate (I'm guesstimating) 50% interest in the VoIP and 25% interest in Micropayments. The various entities involved really should be talking this up and just plain ol' getting it done.
Whether a Host, or ISP, or oneself, BitPass can compete with PayPal ~ gaining mindshare with Hosts, and ISPs, and nationwide Chambers of Commerce is the key "seeding the market".
I'd like to see these Server Add Ons saturate the market and become de facto standards by summer '04.
The competition is already out there. How to organize incoming content(products) for the would-be webseller - that is the app' that needs to be developed to compete with Time Warner (et. al.)
Any title, anytime, anywhere - for free. There will be no "Sevice Economy" ~ only revolution.
I agree with the anti-trust allusions I gleaned from your post. The whole shoddy process of governing online entities is such a tired story.
Perhaps if domain "registrars" were forced to validate registration of domain purchasers who intend to sell products (ahem:.com) online, like, by calling them. At least that would narrow the field of opportunity for badhats; they'd turn to hacking verisign (et. al.).
Perhaps THAT would propel some research dollars into security.
Of course, the other biggie is Time Warner. With multiple fronts of war these days lets not forget the amalgam of Movies, Broadband and VoIP. Three distinct services, two of which were seperately owned only 5 years ago. The babay bells were created from dissembling just one of these services.
There will be no "Service Economy".

Alot of people forget about the chips that they did not use and just decide to take them home as souveniers. This is yet another revenue stream for casinos, and the casinos OFTEN post Expiration Notices in the classifieds' section of the newspapers outlining which Chips are now worthless. It's actually as tough a read as any Public Notices you'll find in River City.
The real reason the RFID chips would be used is so that if you skip out on a bet, say for instance The "over" on the Reds @ Phillies game, they can send 'Uncle Guido' out with a GPS to break your legs.
Yeah - I dig the relativity of perspective, but that's my point - we'll never have every perspective - and whose to say that the Universe doesn't oscillate? Perhaps we're just looking at the most recent 'flip'.
Just conjecture mixed with aesthetic stuff. I am thankful that you took the time to present your examples!

Why do we all think that we're looking back at the beginning of the Universe when we see these things? Sure, I'm no astronomer or cosmologist, but isn't this a panoramic view of floating-point calculation? Wave/particle theory? Will we ever actually 'see' the beginning of it all?
What is all this Time nonsense? What if the Universe expands and collapses many times?
Gosh, can't God create evolution AND be made up of our own collective extra-consiousnesses(sp?) anymore - geeze. Maybe that's the perpetual motion thingy we're looking for - that everything simply is.
