... there are a **lot** of people who would like to talk to you.
LEO time to orbit is about 90 minutes, so that is 45 minutes to make it halfway around the world (or to just about anywhere from anywhere if you think about it). In order to make a suborbital hop "on the order of 30 minutes" you'd have to do orbital velocity...
Competition brings to light solutions that one particular team might elimiate via a trade study by valuing the wrong thing in a trade. Competition is good. Especially in (still) developing fields like high-speed combustion. There is no right and wrong or "My way or the highway (Yet...). We know "In theory" this is how it should be built but "In practice" it is very different. The best tradeoff might be a worse design than the second best tradeoff due to a parameter that was neglected by the engineers. Competition is essential.
My escape key is no further from the "a" key on my keyboard than the control key, and I don't have to twist my wrist:) And as another poster has already pointed out the escape key can be remapped.

The paradigm is different that most other editors. Most other editors use control keys (of some sort) for functions. Vi you enter into edit mode and type away, then leave edit mode and operate on your work. It is a different concept but it has its advantages. (For one: Except for capital letters I've never had to press two buttons at once, ever... you escape to exit your edit mode and then it is all single key sequences to do what you want. Simple things but, for example, hitting the control button requires shifting your hand in an akward position wheras:w you don't have to move whatsoever... )
The gospels may claim he died for everyone, but I'd prefer real evidence.
"Faith is being sure of what you hope for and certain of what you do not see." "If you do not have the faith of one of these [little children] you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. "... Christian religion is built on faith.
Was his death a gift to me?
Yes. According to the bible. You can choose not to believe it but that is what I believe and that is what it teaches. Take it or leave it.
And if I don't factor into the "for us", then who does?
My point was "for you" was not directed at any one person but at society as a whole. He came for everyone. Now people have to make a decision as to what they choose to do with it. Up to you.
... they are doing it for the love. People competing for the prize are doing this because they can do it and because they want to do it. The prize is a consolation prize and yes helps recoup costs but that is about it. The original X-prize was $10M and Burt Rutan got $20M from Paul Allen in funding on top of materials he already had. Its a token prize to get people going, not meant to be a business decision. Doing it for love, not profit. The way the competition is set up there are already 2 serious contendors, Masten Space Systems and Armadillo Aerospace. They can modify existing hardware to compete without much difficulty.
It is a gift. It was done regardless of your intervention. You didn't have a choice. He came, He lived, He died. He did it for everyone, regardless of whether or not you choose to believe it. You don't factor into "for us". Why is your worldview so small that everything has to center around you? This world is a whole lot bigger...
consider. No I am not calvinist, lutheran... but we do not look down on usury. The distinction is made as to what the money is used for. No you shouldn't be charging interest on a loan to someone who is just trying to eat... out of love you help and support them. But for business expenses, luxuries, etc... nothing wrong with loans (Remember the parable of the man with the servants, each had a coin they were to invest... Christ did not condemn this, in fact the unfaithful servant did **not** "at least leave it with the bankers where it could earn a little interest")
The laws of physics and your own common sense can help you judge what is true and what is false information.
Yeah. I have some laws of physics for you. They are called the three laws of thermodynamics:
1. (Energy is conserved... ) You can't win
2. (Entropy always increases...) You can't break even
3. You can't get out of the game
In other words a "free energy" machine is impossible. Applying these fundamental laws you get that you will get less useful energy out of a machine than you put in, but always the same amount of energy going in will come out. Never more, never less. Free energy is a farce.
... while you may no longer be a fan of EQ or EQ2 I'm pretty psyched that this is in the hands of SOE. They are too, probably because they are "old friends", many being members of the original EQ dev team.
I'm excited because SOE is handling the backend work - servers and billing. SOE has a lot of experiance managing this, Microsoft does not. MMO's are not just another internet service, as WoW found out their opening day (4 main servers were out for 4 days...). SOE has what, 7 years of experiance now? They have good server uptime (yes, I still play EQ) and their billing methods are good, game cards and being able to purchse expansions online are a great concept. And I'm excited that I can play vanguard on Station Pass:P save a little money every month.
So with that experiance under their belt and looking back at the past I'm glad SOE will be managing the backend to Vanguard. Elated, actually. Puts me one step closer to playing:P
Jesus threw money exchangers out of the church. See it was passover and people from neighboring nations came to make their offerings to the temple, but in order to make it proper you have to use the temple coin. So the money changers would exchange the foreign coins for temple coins. They were not loan sharks. They also sold doves, lambs and other sacrificial animals for the sacrifices as it was easier to bring a little coin to passover and buy an animal than to herd some animals hundreds of miles to Jerusalem.
That being said your premise is completely baseless and hopefully you have a better understanding.
Jesus never said anything about Usury. There were some old testament regs but remember, Jesus came to fulfil the old testament for us. He was that perfect sacrifice in our place. We aren't bound by it any longer.
if you really want to mess yourself, or some of your friends up, do what we did. Start at 7PM, get a group of whoever you can find in the dorms, and watch straight through... all of Neon genesis Evangelion, and then Lain. Guaranteed mind f*ck.
By the way that's not the end of Evangelion. There were 2 full-length movies. The first (End of Evangelion) was basically a re-hash of the series, very little new content. The second is "Death and Rebirth" which was Hideko Anno's response to people complaints about episodes 25 and 26. The movie was disturbing and confusing, I won't spoil it, find an anime store and rent it. You haven't finished Evangelion till you've seen Death and Rebirth.
That's an excellent countermeasure for a stationary or slow moving vehicle but this new technology has the potential to work at higher speeds... think about aircraft and missiles. They could be blanketed in this material and then have free range of motion. Very cool.
In the bar scene on Tatooine Han shot Greedo first in the original.
In the remasters, Greedo shot Han first.
Might not seem like much but some people made a big fuss about it (Holden McNeill in Kevin Smith's Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back says, "That's the worst idea since 'Greedo shooting first' ").
Some other people aren't huge fans of some of the other edits but that's the big one
Think cloaking from machines that are scanning on frequencies close to that of light... IR/laser. That is where this would come in handy. We know that IR_TRACKER_X looks on frequency (or frequencies) X, if we can cloak that frequency we can now move freely around the tracker.
They are. Except for IMDB and Encarta. When you hit "Add search providers" it takes you to this page. If IMDB and Encarta supported OpenSearch, they could be there too.
Microsoft should open up the bidding then to all search engines to make **their** search engine the default for IE7. And let MSN compete. If MSN wins the profits can be donated to charity or something. There, your non-competitive fears have been quelled.
