Because Shuttle is not airworthy. The crew cabin in the rocket should not be below the rocket, it should be on the top. Otherwise the debris from the violently vibrating rocket fall down on the people in the cabin.
Russian engineers warned the US colleagues about it, but the cool looking design was more important at that time then practical scientific aspects.
It would be also necessary before developing and building Orion to move the whole country, the whole USA, to the metric measurement system.
It is madness to build such a complicated system with the outdated anti-scientific imperial measurement system.
Vladimir Putin told in the interview to CNN that the US government trained, prepared and encouraged the Georgian army for the incursion into South Ossetia.
According to Putin it was done to improve chances of one of the candidates, because when the international situation worsens, moves closer to a war, people tend to vote for a conservative candidate. Not for a change.
If it is true then it should not have been a surprise that there was the tension with Russia.
So the real reason then is not Russian politics, but the US presidential election.
One may write instead that due to the coming election it was decided to prolong the Shuttle program, because the world should have been shown to the voters with more defined scares.
I read that in London it is the widespread crime to steal a notebook from Wi-Fi cafe. There were cases when a notebook's owner was hit with a knife and after that the notebook was taken.
Following the logic they shold be the agents of foreign intellegence services running amok stelaing notebooks and mobile phones with data in London. But it is absurd.
There are several spam kings operating in the USA. Why not to arrest them first? They bring the real damage to the world economy.
Billions of people must read their messages about enlarging medicines, casinos online, etc. It takes working time, destroys work flow, and causes trillions of loses to the global economy.
Why they want information on us? Stop your well known criminals first and then we will see if you have the integrity to own information on us.
Since Internet becomes the means of communication for the whole planet we should not leave the standards implementation to the decisions of some obscure marketeers and programmers.
The ability to communicate via the electronic signals and display results on computerized devices is not Mozilla's or Microsoft's achievement. It is the humanity's achievement.
The international conferences are to be held organized by UN on this subject. We should not allow browsers or other programmes in our countries which are the result of petty squabbles between small groups of marketeers and programmers.
Buggy incompatible browsers should be banned by UN internationally as illegal drugs. Enough is enough. I do not want to see any more these ridiculous "if IE6", "if Mozzilla", etc. There should be the basic standards implemented by the international law, which would provide a safe and effective usage of Internet.
Yeah, it would not be normal. But recall such things as Whitewater or Monika, or Tony's 2 appartments. And these were well motivated employees.
My point let them read heir e-mails and me - mines.
Besides they have things to do: spam, for example. Spammers are well known individuals. Why not to start improving the world with them. Why honest law abiding me?
Getting noticed is not as bad as when a low-paid government employee learns from snooping into one's messages the dates of departing on holiday, informs his friends at a bad district of a city, and they empty the home.
Returning home into an empty soiled house is really bad.
First the government should stop credit card fraud in the Internet. It is a mess now with all that worms, phishing, spam, etc. They should do what IS their duty.
I am afraid to use my card to buy a song for 90 cents. Not that I do not want to pay.
But I will not resume walking to the shops to by disks. It's like asking me to start riding a horse.
It's gone, over. Forget about it. Move on. No more CDs. Turn the page.
SUV is the wasteful way to use the carbohydrates. We do not that much oil left. We want it to be used meaningfully.
I repeat for clarity, we do not have that much oil left. And we can not grow crops here. The summer is short and the winter is cold and comes early. Even cucumbers and potatoes do not bring harvest. Well, not every summer.
Some can have nice crops, have plenty of tourists visiting towers, etc. We do not have all that. All we have is oil and natural gas wells. And a cold winter to survive.
We want our wealth to be used in a sane way. Not in a crazy bonanza. We want it to last. And be used by people around the world for their benefit. Not harm.
Difficult to tell. I tried your approach but it did not work. I raked the Internet with search engines and tried about everything related to SP3 blue screen of death. Ten times each.
I have the 160 GB back up hard disk. So it was not a complete catastrophy for me. I lost only my private e-mails. Work e-mail is IMAP. All work related files were backed up.
Still I fear that if MS makes it automatic update it may knock out my notebook again.
I reinstalled the Windows XP SP2 and the ASUS notebook works normally.
I don't know about Skype, being somewhat paranoid myself I've paid some attention to where it's sending its packets when I talk to someone I know. Looks to me like the only voice-like packets it sends are to the remote peer. But who knows what tricks the closed source, heavily obfuscated Skype client could be playing.
And you say that you're not worried about the govt. spying, just that the employees they have might be stupid? I don't see how you can separate the two. Anything the government decides to do *will* be carried out by those low-pay jobsworths. It's one and the same.
From movies we know that the government people are honest caring individuals. But in fact they are real people. Who may have bad friends.
I meant that they can while having the information on a person start their own independent from the government game.
Information is power. Having an information on a person this employee has got the power over this person. Government maybe will not care but 30000+ emplyee, a human, might care.
Skype encrypts the communication so the person who listens is probably in some remote center. Not next door. With e-mail and phone it is like communicating via post cards pinned on the trees in a park. Anyone can listen. A bad guy / gal (in uniform at the moment) too.
It's difficult to believe that there could be a bad guy / gal in uniform, but it does happen.
I've since got the distinct impression that he doesn't trust "blessed" companies like Skype, either.
With a mobile phone or e-mail it is some local guy who listens. Probably living next door.
I and not much afraid that a government listens, but that a low-paid real guy or gal, who at the moment works for a government on such a stupid job, listens.
People do not only follow rules and regulations. People play with information. Like in that movie "The lives of others". And the most likely motivation is greed, money.
With Skype it is at least some remote person. Hopefully.
Yes, I do believe that that there are evil forces on the World scale who use the pseudo-democratic rhetorics for their ends which have nothing to do neither with democracy nor freedom.
It is sad but it is so. The real goal in this case is the establishment of the new world order - the so called "Bloody Democracy", which has nothing to do with the real democracy. One has to be blind not to notice the first signs of this coming New Order.
So now people in such places like China, Iran, Burma, Iraq, etc. are to struggle for their freedoms not only with the local forces of dark and evil, but with the disguised evil forces outside. It is becoming more complicated now, as their have only themselves to trust upon.
lobatt, I do not support the anti-Chinese bacchanalia in the West. First with Olympics, an then with the Earth Quake.
I know history and I realize quite well why the Chinese people are careful with foreigners. After centuries of what happened.
Some evil forces in the West want to destabilize your country, split it into manageable chunks again, using for it any opportunity. Including pseudo-democratic rhetorics.

They are stolen by trivial criminals for profit.
Prostitutes do still phones and cash. WHat makes them think that it was an agent?
Certainly it would give them a selfrespect and a feeling of selfimportance.
But what really happened is that a hooker has got a blackberry stolen from a drunkard.

Oh, please. Don't joke like this. It scares me. We have got enough of them still lurking around. Not a theme for light joking.
Here are the links: http://www.gnupg.org/ http://www.axantum.com/AxCrypt/ http://www.rarsoft.com/
Or can they snoop encrypted messages too?
Theoretically all loks fine. In real life it is a headache.

On the desktop I installed SP3 without ay problem.
My freee advice:

The problem is that it's not a government that is watching, it is always a human. Most probably low-paid.
Without giving the whole DB to a contractor.
Limit access to the page to IP address of your contractor and put a password. All in Apache configuration file.
open source, free, and simple to use. Encrypting files and shredding(!) them after use.
Why should not they start with this problem first? Solve it, gain experience and then move forward.
