I doubt that any sensitive satellites go up without the ability to to at least neutralise's sensitive info that may be on them and in such a way that that tampering would be next to imposable. Besides capturing a active satellite is far easier than decommissioned as they are very stable in there orbit. Hubble has been "caught" several times for maintenance over the years
While at Uni doing a management course our lecturer informed us that all companies have the same unwritten goal
World Domination
and at that time only Microsoft was truly in a position where that was even close to being fulfilled.
Now with Google i think they may be ahead and are really going for the win I for one welcome our Googly overlords as they "Do no Evil" I feel safe about my future.
Meanwhile Sagar Island shrinks away from rising oceans.
That to me sounds more like a land erosion problem than rising water levels
Meanwhile a UAB professor claims ocean acidification is yet another measurable effect of climate change.
acidification of oceans is a major carbon sink the amount of CO2 that could be absorbed before anything but very localized effects could be seen is unimaginably large. the statement that the pH could go down by.4 of a unit by the end of the decade is ridiculous the amount of CO2 required to do that to sea water is so large that it is beyond imagining the amount required to change it by another.1 would be more that twice what was required to drop the pH from 8.2 to 8.1
mmmmm even this produces large amounts of CO2 as carbon electrodes are used which burn off during the process. Besides the large quantities of power being wasted in the process (entropy kicks hydrogen power in the nuts again)
the human eye cannot see much beyond 30-50fps (movies are 25fps) so anything faster than a 20 is not noticeable the only problem is that the advertised responce times for lcd displays is the optimum and often the diplay will not have a responce time anyawre near as good a advertised for all colours most of the time when people have problems with ghosting on 20ms displays it is because it has a good peak (ie lowest) and has a crap average responce time

wow just read that patent it sure is one hell of a lot more detailed than anything that passes for a patent now.

ahh so you have never heard people refer to their PC as the CPU or the Hard drive once its been separated from the monitor and other peripherals
The proper term for the Area is Asia Pacific they just ignored the Pacific region
