hahaha, won't happen. 80% of the Earth's geothermal heat is produced by radioactive decay, it's a continuously produced energy enduring for cosmic timescales. But we really can't even make a dent in the 20% residual heat of formation of the planet that is left, the earth's heat capacity is massive beyond man's ability to effect with power generation.
please provide link to one of these "small portable reactors".....I only see a similar bomber program (with heavy monster reactor with inadequate shielding) to the US one with exactly the same issues
looked like happy person in interviews (no, didn't understand language), some people including kids have lots of energy for things they like...
at age ten I was electronics book reading and device building/soldering fiend, spent hours a day on my hobby and no family pressure needed....probably lots of other slashdotters nearly obsessive / compulsive about their hobbies normally associated with older people when they were young and happy as pig in shit
Hahaha! fighter seat ejection is done with explosive charges, usually works (when it doesn't kill or horribly maim, which it sometimes does) for a man in his 20s in top shape but would kill at least a quarter of civilian passengers. You're going to have a jumbo jet with hundreds of charges in the passenger cabin, what could possibly go wrong....let's see, terrorists would thank you for obviating the need to smuggle bombs, malfunction of system could crash the plane, there's more but I'm laughing too much....
What country is that, in USA 17 for powered flight and 16 for Balloons and Gliders BUT a person can be in training at ANY age.
I've shocking news for you, flight simulator on PC is entertainment, not the same as really flying, and there is more to being pilot than "driving the plane".
no one said she was commercial pilot, and I don't know details of that certification, only that it was in Dubai and of private craft. maybe she didn't have the disease at age ten
No, that thing of which you speak had the "inadequate shielding", much to the embarrassment of its project team , with adequate shielding it never could have flown
no, I'm from the present. you know that is based on FreeBSD 8.1 so won't have latest drivers either. Same statement only vaguer if talking about new device support, "Debian kFreeBSD will get their someday, maybe, if the project doesn't totally flop". that Debian frankenstein is not production stable, just a trial balloon. We're talking about Debian GNU/LInux compared to FreeBSD here
you are silly. do you know the cost and weight of the smallest possible nuclear reactor plus adequate shielding? An adequately shielded fission powered aircraft the size of a bomber is impossible.
heh, meant to say over Debian based distros without newer kernels

Some advantages of PC-BSD over GNU/Linux
a. a lot of new devices are supported in 3.x kernels, Debian will get there someday
b. zfs (and even regular bsd ufs is more robust than Linux's ext3 and 4
c. choice of desktop manager, not just KDE
d. better documentation
e. developers work on a distribution rather than just a kernel with ad-hoc add-ons
(if my employer didn't require me to do certain task, I would run BSD desktop as main machine)
just one thing I didn't like

The special packages it uses are jailed versions, which means I can't use some of the things I want to use from regular freebsd repository. that jailing is a feature pc-bsd has to protect the system from getting clobbered by the user.... maybe most desktop users wouldn't care about those "server" type softwares though.
let's say we don't destroy ourselves with war or disaster. So from when we became technologically advanced (essentially now on cosmic time scale) until the Sun cooks the earth is about 300 million years. That's 2% of the lifetime of the universe to now, actually a big chunk of time.
they might expand all over their star system, but interstellar travel is very difficult. Estimating from Kepler's preliminary data, there is probably NOT another ETI civilization within 5,000 light years. Even if we mastered fusion propulsion and so were able to make a ship go 0.12 light speed, that's tens of thousands of years for a trip, we can't make machinery, computers and sensors last that long. we don't have the knowledge, ability, or materials.
I wish to complain on the strongest possible terms about the previous entry in this webpage about the lumberjack who wears womens' clothes. Some of my best friends are lumberjacks, and only a few of them are transvestites.
even so, it's like the lottery. You don't play, you definitely won't win. Mankind, with Kepler and SETI and Mars rover missions, has decided to be a player. we're looking.

plenty of people rent small planes, $80 / hour and up

there's a reason why the very smallest vehicles with nuclear reactors are huge ships and submarines!

It's called "name dropping", very old confidence man trick
haha, that old thing. That's from the 1950s, and sixty years later making such a reaction is still is a huge net energy loss

Dear Sir,
I wish to complain on the strongest possible terms about the previous entry in this webpage about the lumberjack who wears womens' clothes. Some of my best friends are lumberjacks, and only a few of them are transvestites.
Yours faithfully,
