    France has released its 'cometa' report: http://www.ufoevidence.org/topics/Cometa.htm


    In 1999 an important document was published in France entitled, UFOs and Defense: What must we be prepared for? ("Les Ovni Et La Defense: A quoi doit-on se préparer?"). This ninety-page report is the result of an in-depth study of UFOs, covering many aspects of the subject, especially questions of national defense. The study was carried out over several years by an independent group of former "auditors" at the Institute of Advanced Studies for National Defense, or IHEDN, and by qualified experts from various fields. Before its public release, it has been sent to French President Jacques Chirac and to Prime Minister Lionel Jospin. The report is prefaced by General Bernard Norlain of the Air Force, former Director of IHEDN, and it begins with a preamble by André Lebeau, former President of the National Center for Space Studies (Centre National D'études Spatiales), or CNES, the French equivalent of NASA. The group itself, collective author of the report, is an association of experts, many of whom are or have been auditors of IHEDN, and it is presided over by General Denis Letty of the Air Force, former auditor (FA) of IHEDN.

  14. Re:Stability may be a big problem here. on Floating Wind Turbines · · Score: 1

    Ok, I'm not an expert at all in when this comes to this subject, but instead of using a huge concrete submerged cylinder weighing hundreds of tons, would it not be possible to submerge one (or more) hollow cylinders and just fill them with sea water as some kind of large stabilizer?

    I realize that the material both in- and outside the cylinder would be the same sea water... but the fact that water in the cylinder is enclosed from the rest, would that not have/change the stabilizing effect?

    Just thinking out loud.. :)

    I would simply remove the entire hard disk from my computer if there was an hardware problem needing repair that is unrelated to the HD.

    If it's OS related I can fit is on my own. If it's disk related: I hope to have my own backups since it's too late anyway. If it's something else, I either buy the part myself or turn it in for repair under warranty without the disk.

    Things like data and identity theft are alll too easy if you have access to a regularly used computer.
