TFA says Australia is going to try to end the "scientific research" loophole. These idiotic "experiments" smell of bureaucrats hiring incompetent and/or lazy "scientists" to do useless thumb twiddling just so they can say they need to keep killing whales.
Whether or not there should be a ban on killing whales is another matter altogether. Wasting time and resources in this manner to circumvent public opinion is another. I'd be pretty pissed if I were a Japanese consumer / taxpayer (depending on who pays for these useless "experiments").
Everything has a cost, and in this case, there is money to be paid. Someone pays that. Would you rather it was a few large patrons who would have corresponding leverage? Google text ads are unobtrusive and could easily be limited to one page in ten or whatever percentage is needed to pay the bills, and then no one has any leverage over funding.
I'd like to know what your alternative is for paying the bills. Either patrons with their own agenda or a few text ads with no leverage whatsoever, or your idea, which is ???
Building the second story above ground rather than below is probably cheaper. It also allows windows. If the extra room is only used for storage, that doesn't matter, but it does for living space.
No references, but there was a hullabaloo when NASA wouldn't release the voice recordings recovered from the wreckage, and there were reports of oxygen equipment out of its packing, which could only have been done by conscious humans, ie, not a result of being thrown around by a tumbling cabin.

This assumes that youare still within the time frame of modability. I don't know what happens if you have used all your modpoints; does that automatically end your modability time slot?
My theory is that there is only one reason for this bailout, and that is to keep SCO assets from falling into the hands of Novell or IBM. What assets, you ask? Interesting memos and email archives, say I, such as links back to the mystery investor. I can think of no other reason to pump any more money into SCO. They will take it private, pass out golden parachutes, and evaporate like toilet water in hell.
No. Columbia's crew, the one which blew up during launch (or was that Challenger?) was probably alive when it hit the ocean. Whether they were conscious is not public info, but they were alive for a while, based on evidence that some of them tried to put on oxygen bottles, IIRC. They could have used an escape pod.
They found this version of the virus by letting it mutate. Best of breed, you might say. But they were doing the selecting, not nature, so I too wonder what would happen to it in vivo.
Sorry, yes. It works fine for me. Sorry you had problems, but your problems don't invalidate my success, and I never claimed my success applied to everybody.
A brother-in-law talked me into applying an Amway window treatment, and I was amazed at how well it shed water. You could, and I did, drive alongside a semi at freeway speeds and the water just slipped off and out of sight. It was absolutely convincing. Its only drawback was that you had to reapply it every several weeks. At first it worked even down to 25 mph, but gradually wore off as you used wipers at slower speeds, especially if you used the washer fluid, and eventually you had to use wipers as high as, say, 50mph, at which point I would reapply it. That bottle ran out and I tried some others which worked as well.
There was also a mental adjustment period for me; water just streams up and over the car, not to the sides, and it seems so wrong to not have wipers sweeping back and forth. The streams going up the windshield were so different from what I was used to that it was distracting and somewhat headache inducing, and it took several rainstorms to get used to it. But now it's wipers that look wrong.
Until you see it from inside, it is hard to believe how well it sheds water splashed up by the semi alongside you, but it is literally almost as clear as having no water on the windshield. It made a believer out of me.
My point was that calling the X-15 suborbital is a real stretch. No one at Scaled or even the X-prize people has called their prize for suborbital flight, as I understand it, only to reach the 100 km limit which defines outer space and astronaut status. Maybe you are confusing altitude and horizontal speed.
The V-2 qualifies for everything except the X prize. "Suborbital" certainly doesn't care whether it has passengers aboard. ICBMS are suborbital, far more than the X-15 or any X-prize contender.
Suborbital flight was achieved in the 1960s, both by NASA and by the Air Force with the X-15 program.
Calling the X-15 (mach 7 or so, 4K mph) suborbital is really a stretch. A few of the pilots got astronaut wings from it, but that doesn't make it much more suborbital than SR-71 pilots. The Nazi WW II V-2 was more suborbital than the X-15, and that was 1942.
You also ought to mention the Soviets, who were orbital before the US was suborbital.
There are videos floating around the web of him speaking as governor of Texas, before he ran for President, and he is perfectly articulate and clear. I sure think something happened to him. It's a night and day difference.

Not everything is about money!

Thank you.
You must not fly very often. Putting 8 crew in an entire 737 isn't exactly a cattle train.
Remember, size isn't everything. Packing density is the real figure of interest.

The shuttle's cabin is nowhere near 737 size. More like a six or eight seat business jet.

If it weren't for NDIS wrongly declaring GPLONLY, you wouldn't be so confused. Pick the correct target, WindSword.
Or do the right thing in the first place and don't falsely label ndiswrapper as GPLONLY.
What a pity the people involved in Open Source give my boss another reason to distrust the community and all their projects.
Yeh, too bad he got a start with the Microsoft people and all the honesty they bring to the table.
/sarcasm (included because you sound like someone who will miss it otherwise)
Sounds like they should have listed Arlo Guthrie as co-author.
I bet mods don't get the reference and mark me down.

I smell something fivey .... the Pentagon!
He's on third.
That's part of the problem. With the way things are now people are getting patents to last for nearly a hundred years.
No, the problem is your ears, or eyes, or possibly what's between them. You are confusing copyrights and patents.
Sorry, yes. It works fine for me. Sorry you had problems, but your problems don't invalidate my success, and I never claimed my success applied to everybody.
So go pound sand.
