Its at 310 km altitude which is not bad at all. Drag might be low enough for a high ISP thruster to operate. Maybe a solar thermal system with a dense reaction mass.
In a country area in my state it is expected that if power lines are run along your road you will have to pay a share of the cost even if you don't intend to use it.
...with the fission component replaced by good old fashioned pistons? I bet it sounds great. There has certainly been a lot of modelling in this direction.
Um, weren't the Aliens found on a planet being terraformed?
In the first movie the planet was originally going to be Io, the innermost gallean moon of Jupiter. There wasn't any mention of terraforming and surface conditions resembled those on Io.
Yeah I wrote a serial interface to an SMS modem. I wanted it to work on Linux and BSD. I spent a lot of time copying if statements out of uuucp. There is not a lot which is standardised in that area.
The Artic Archipeligo is Canada's. Ask permission first. Despite what the American government may think, there is no international waterway through the Artic Archipeligo.
But isn't that just a matter of paying for the right to transit through that area?
You are right but I would have to find a clean way to uninstall the built in one. Otherwise I might pick up part of the wrong version. I think the debian approach of putting much or all of the base system inside built in packages makes upgrades a lot easier.
There was this guy in New Zealand a couple of days ago. Once buried by the Avalanche he cleared space around his mouth by sticking his tongue out. Air will diffuse through snow so the surface are of the cavity around your head makes a lot of difference. Something which gives you more space around your head could be a lifesaver.
I know somebody who operates a cafe. I suggested that I help him set up wifi but it didn't go ahead because his retail space is too valuable to have people sitting around drinking coffee for hours. He wants people to buy a meal, stay for 45 minutes and give up their spot.
It might be a different story at a McDonalds in the suburbs though.
You seem to be just taking all changes and rebooting. I do that all the time on my ubuntu laptops but I wouldn't manage my servers that way.
Having said that patching in netbsd will require a compilation at my end. It would be nice if I could just update a package. The infrastructure is right there for it...
My impression from the article isn't that the containers are specifically causing fires, but rather there are a lot of fires that may involve the containers.
Yeah if an acetylene bottle goes off the fire may end very quickly. The trick is not to be around when that happens so you get Marvin the paranoid android to do your firefighting for you.
Some years ago a plumbers ute blew up on a freeway here in Melbourne. IIRC the driver was lucky to survive.

How about broadcasting democratic information via FM/AM radio to restricted countries? I'd think it'd be low enough to work.
FM yes, AM not really. The frequency is too low to get through the ionosphere. Also you need big antennas for low frequencies.
You can put a lot of technology into half a pound these days.

I showed the video to my seven year old son and he immediately identified the movement as a run.

I wonder if this could be turned into a rocket engine? It has an EE Smith feel about it.
Skimmed the article, they're planing to do with pistons what would be done explosives in a normal nuclear bomb. Wouldn't it be funny if it worked?
I bet Osama is thrilled.

I just wondered if anybody else noticed that graphics from the spinner flight control system in Blade Runner were reused in the escape pod in Alien.
Is this going to be a stand-up film, sir, or another bug hunt?
Interesting that the marines seemed to have experience with "bug hunts".

I have seen it happen and from the doctors POV it was more like go away I am perfectly comfortable here.
My first job was working in Pascal, but the boss was an old FORTRAN guy and he banned any constructs which couldn't be done in that language.
/* Speed of car */ /* Position of car */
...and he would get stuck into me for not writing comments.
In another job my boss would write code like this:
int CARSPD;
int CARPOS;
And I would write
int speedOfCar;
int positionOfCar;

Canadians and Russians would certainly save a fortune on heating bills.

The datalink/wire/pipe/tube that lets you work from Starbucks, extends all the way to Bangalore.
True, must most of us where I work would be happy to contract from home at the same rate our contractor in India gets.

I don't get your point there.

I, for one, welcome our new Robotic Firefighting Overlords...
You had better believe it.
When the robot decides how to move the end effector from point A to point B does it take into account known obstacles between those two points?
