60,000 years ago, yes we were evolving because people with very low IQ, or diabetes, or asthma, etc. did not live long enough to breed. But today due to advanced medical technology and the security of a orderly society, virtually *everyone* lives and breeds regardless of how unfit they are to survive in the pre-civilization world -- passing down their genes for autism, diabetes, etc. etc.
Actually the reason NASA is having such a hard time with spaceflight is that its reason for existence is to feed off the government trough and build a dynasty of spending OPP.
the handheld market. PSP's clearly the best hardware in the segment, not to mention all the hacks for it out there. Once it becomes the de facto standard handheld there will be more games, software and movies for it at lower prices.
HD-DVD will be DOA, and Blu-Ray will be relegated to a niche market (PS3). Joe Consumer is pretty happy with regular DVD. These new things don't offer anything over DVD other than theoretically better picture (only with the right kind of HDTV), while being way more expensive and with confusion over competing formats to boot.
On the data storage side: double-layer DVD blanks are still hideously expensive. Can you imagine how much Blu-Ray blanks will cost? By the time they come down to a reasonable price, Fry's will be selling 800 gig hard drives for $50.
The X-1 had a bad problem with its windshield fogging up and frosting. On the flight before it went supersonic, according to "Yeager: Autobiography":
"My crew chief applied a coating of Drene Shampoo to the windshield. For some unknown reason it worked as an effective antifrost device, and we continued using it even after the government purchased a special chemical that cost eighteen bucks a bottle."
No no that is an anecdote, not scientific evidence. All real scientific evidence points out that there is massive global warming. All real scientists agree on this. Anyone who says otherwise is a Saudi-paid Bush lover.
Didn't it occur to you that much of US foreign debt, which is owed to China, would get eliminated once war is declared on China? It's called seizure of enemy property.
Not only had the SS1 team "done their homework and benefited from what was learned in the X-15 program".... Burt Rutan was in fact one of the engineers on the original X-15 team.
But I agree, Indian engineering is world class! Without India, USA would just be a maker of rubber dogshit. Just look at the high tech marvels invented by Indian engineers.
It just looks clean because it's actually a huuuuuge area represented in that little photograph.
About 5 miles of land are represented by 1 inch of paper in that photograph (or something like that). Zoom in to 5 feet of land per 1 inch of paper, and you will probably see all kinds of dirt and sand.
"If you work around computers a lot you are probably pretty tired of the noise they produce."
Not at work. Background office noise drowns out any PC fan noise. Businesses won't care. Only people who will are gamers and Divx movie watchers with puters in their bedrooms (nerds).
If you think going the Moon is dangerous, think of the Mars Cydonia base where the Alien Brain lurks with hundreds of Sectoid leaders under its command!!
Bill Beaty described similar ideas on his Amateur Scientist website. Looks like the Solar Death Ray guy just took it a step further.

Take a large crowd of children out into the sunshine and give each one a 20cm square mirror. Show them how to aim all of their little spots of sunlight at the same distant object, then stand back and see what they do. Better yet, run away.

I tried the free AVG version but the interface was clunky.
And also more 40 year old virgins...
The Amminex guys in TFA are light on details so it's hard to tell what exactly they're doing differently or better.

You pulled that number out of your ass, didn't you?

I imagine if that mountain is Everest, then the vehicle exiting the tube will already be past 70% of the earth's atmosphere....
I haven't touched Opera since I switched to Firefox a year ago, but one feature I miss is Opera's ability to advertise itself as IE 5!

Wasn't that one of the pilots on the SpaceShipOne team?
Sky Dayton, founder of Earthlink, as well as other top brass and major shareholders, are members of the Church of Scientology.
don't they already developed this technology ?

Kill one person, or give a small cut to 10 million people, about the same in terms of jail time. In principle.
