Under current rules any British requests for the use of US technology can take 20 days to go through, obviously limiting the usefulness of a jet strike force.
I am not sure how to interpret this. Does it mean that if the UK request the source code with a license to make changes then they get the code 20 days later and presumably come up with their own version after a year (at best?). Or do they get the code up front with the ability to request a license to deploy modified versions on application?
removed my right-temporal lobe plus more from a deep 'root' as the doctor called it
Doctor says here's your problem
userdel root
ahhh feels better already. But I agree with the link to psycho-motor seizures. I had a lot of things like this between the ages of about 14 and 19, then a grand mal, then got put on to tegretol which fortunately got the problem mostly under control.
Incidently, you must have had a few CT scans in your time. Did the dye they put in ever send you totally high? To this day I am still surprised they let me out of the clinic to walk the streets believing I was Albert Einstein for the next three hours.
that Deja Vu always involves sight... Every now and then here in Melbourne we get a bit of wet, humid weather and I have to think where have I felt this before? and its usually Malaysia in the wet season I am reminded of, but it takes a bit of back tracking to work it out.
BTW I do have temporal lobe epilepsy and back when I had a lot of problems a feeling of deja vu was often associated with a siezure.
40 percent is impressive, but the cost is likely still damn high
If the cost is high because of complexity then large scale manufacturing should be able to bring the cost down. Think how cheap LSI chips are. Of course you need the demand to be high so that volumes can be increased so that prices can come down and stimulate demand for which you need...
A large solar collector would also shade the ground and absorb the heat (energy) that the surrounding ground and air would normally receive. I guess, taking extra heat (energy) from one place, and adding it to lots of others may not be bad...
PV cells have a lower albedo than the Earth as a whole, at least solid land, anyway. So over land they will result in more heat being transferred to the amosphere than the soil under them would have. Sea water has a pretty low albedo so I don't know if this applies over land as well.
Imagine that I have a Slackware system. (I do, even.) How is this system affected by any deal Novell signs?
Right or wrong, Microsoft own patents which code in Linux voilates. It wasn't knowningly put there, it was written by programmers who didn't know they were doing wrong. This code is in slack as well, and the MS-Novel agreement implies that somebody other than Novell is going to get sued.
I think Nicholas Negroponte is just having a little fun at the expense of MicroSoft.
But this is the second iteration of window-on-olpc. The last one was about a year ago. Presumably NN wants some charity from the Gates Foundation to help boost the project.
He was the Russian space program. It all went downhill after that. The US had no way of knowing, of course, but his death signalled the end of the space race and the US had won.
He was a propulsion guy but 80% of operating on and around the moon was in the piloting, procedures and life support systems. The USSR didn't have any kind of PLSS for lunar surface operations. I seriously doubt their ability to manage the operations of an apollo style mission. Their crews made good with poor equipment and made stuff up on the spot. In a situation like apollo 13 they would have been more likely to lose the mission.
Wouldn't it take a LOT less energy and time to go directly to mars, rather than stopping off at the moon and having to escape the gravity well of *two* planetary bodies before going to Mars?
Nobody is going to Mars unless future natives of the Moon decide to expand their empire. Any talk of Mars in the context of this proposal is marketing only.
If the test in TFA indicated that I could murder would it at least prove that I was human?
OTH you wouldn't want a person to sit down with a prison inmate and ask them these questions face to face, particularly if the interviewee in question had a handgun under the table, which I suppose is your point.

Spaceships launch east, preferably from the equator
But north of the equator they launch south east. Would that be safer? would it go south of Washington.

It lets another species do the hard work of converting grass to usable nutrients. Milk is a great source of calcium, with helps keep bones strong.
Look for signs of sanity in Government
You might be integrating software on different platforms. Testing, building binary releases, that sort of thing.

The second interpretation makes more sense to me.
It would be funnier if technocrat carried that advert.

Hmmm if we had a dyson sphere around the Earth we could collect all that energy we radiate into space and never have to make any more :).
Its not exactly a new idea.

Must be solar powered.
How about the empty quarter of Saudi Arabia?
For me, this represents an opportunity to generate the power where I will need it. Transmission systems will be less important in the future.

It doesn't really matter becuse ISRU can use water from the atmosphere or ice from the poles and permafrost.
They are too expensive because nobody will launch satellites on them.
