  1. Re:terrorists? on Rocket Hobbyists Prevail Over Feds In Court Case · · Score: 1

    Excuse me? But what kind of crack are you smoking? You haven't got a flipping clue what the real regs are about FAR 101.

    First of all, there is NO "certain altitude threshold" for anything. It's all weight, weight of the vehicle and weight of the on board propellant.

    Second, the Office of Commercial Spaceflight as you call it has nothing to do with regulating rocketry.

    There have been NO regulations for so called "guided rockets." There has been NO permits and NO waivers for flights of such. The FAA doesn't care. The FBI does, and they raided the offices of a national organization many years ago and seized guidance plans. Other than that, nobody cares about guidance. Besides, so called "guidance" isn't easy and costs lots of bucks to implement.

    And Black Rock is not "unregulated" and you can not fly anything, to any height as you claim.

    Leave the rocketry expertise to the rocketeers and go back to your bong.

    Is it just my observation, or are there way too many stupid people in the world?

  2. Re:RFID tracking on Using Tire Pressure Sensors To Spy On Cars · · Score: 1

    That's a car from Harris County on their webpage . . .

    HPD uses OCR technology with the cameras in their cars to scan ALL plates they pass or at least ALL plates that the camera sees. The system runs each plate and then alerts the officer about any "issues." The officer's no longer have to observe specific cars, their camera systems do it all for them . . .

  3. Re:Sounds a bit too smooth on FBI's Unknown Eavesdropping Network · · Score: 1

    Lets see, 10 flights of 737's fly out of McCarran Airport every day and fly into a "Black Hole."

    A 737 holds 90 people.

    hummmmm . . . seems that at least 900 folks can keep their mouths shut . . .

    . . . so . . . this kind of FBI run network doesn't seem too far fetched to me . . .

  4. Honors is Special Ed on Discouraging Students from Taking Math · · Score: 1

    Honors and AP, Advanced Placement classes are administered under the aspics of Special Education and as such our local schools have an incentive to have more students in Special Ed as it brings in more $$$ from the State.

    They don't seem to 'worry' too much about standings here, they teach to the standardized test, then give it. You have to be brain dead to do poorly.

  5. what PMB's really are on How To Sue the Auto Dialers · · Score: 1
    "PMB 341" (short for Postal Mail Box).
    No PMB stands for Private Mail Box. Postal regulations state that you can no longer claim "341" is a Suite, room, apartment, only a Private Mail Box.
  6. Re:In Soviet Russia... too true... on US–EU Flight Talks Collapse · · Score: 1

    Not sure when you lived there but I am looking at my Train tickets (August 2006), Moscow/St.Petersburg and: (edited after preview, I guess Cyrillic characters aren't supported on slashdot ); they have the transliteration of my name. Upon boarding the train at Leningradsky Station, they compared the name on my passport to my visa, (Roman to Roman/Cyrillic) and then compared the name on my visa to the name on my tickets. (Roman/Cyrillic to Cyrillic). Only my Metro tickets don't have my name on them. My bus tickets to get to Pavlovsk had my name on them as well and I once again had to show my passport for id.
