    no i'm not going to move my 7.1 speakers often so i can take "advatage" of wireless freedom. it took me a while to set them up so there is no reason that they need to be wireless. wires will ALWAYS be more robust.

    however wireless headphones may be ok.

    4.2 Data/Design structure
    During the design and building of the spacecraft, participants of SSETI will be located all over Europe. Thisresults in a very unconventional, new communication approach, which is called distributed development.The main characteristic of this approach is that modern communication tools (Internet, e-mail etc.) will beused to discuss and communicate with each other. A study has already started to establish thiscommunication network. This study also includes a large database with information about the Europeancapabilities of building micro-satellites.The structure of the data collection will take place in a similar way as used by the Concurrent DesignFacility (CDF) at ESTEC. All data, which is relevant for other users, will be stored in EXCEL workbooks.There will be 1 workbook for every subsystem, which will be accessible for all users. The interactionbetween the workbooks will take place via the Data-Exchange file. The only person authorised to change(update) this file is the Data co-ordinator.The official interaction between the teams will take place during sessions, which will take place each monthor every 14 days. During these sessions the changes in the system data will be discussed. These sessionsare the only opportunity to change data, which will have an effect on other sub-systems. Requests aremade by the universities to put topics on the agenda. The informal communication will be held with the helpof bulletin boards (Micro-sat study) and simple e-mail (mailing lists).

  20. Re:Morality....is relative and reflected by laws on China Rewards Porn Snitches · · Score: 1

    i don't care if you're american or dutch (where prostitution is legal) both democracies claiming no interference in people's morals and separation of church and state. laws are made/changed by the people of a country; where these laws represent their morals.

    example: in the US, why is gay marriage becoming 'ok' while (hetero..) polygamy has such a bad stigma?! i would imagine polygamy being ok first, then as attitudes change gay marriage being ok. i guess it's just what people want to happen..that's all.

    yes, china isn't a democracy. but if the gov. were SO out of line with the people, i'd think they wouldn't exist anymore. to me, the differences in the forms of gov. is just how easily (elasticity) they react to the demands of the people.

    oh, my comment is just a comment. i haven't argued for or against any particular side.
