At one point Motorola was projecting that a replacement satallite would need to be sent up every 18 months, statistically speaking. So even if they aquire the system as it sits now it will start to degrade badly as satallites fail, with no way to replace them. Those low orbits are a pretty harsh environment for electronics. They may not fall out of the sky but they will become useless. --
This thing is going to eat memory for breakfast, lunch, and dinner? Those translated caches have got to take a lot of memory. Its going to make NTs' memory requirements look trivial. --
try looking at the ratios for with guns and you see less of a difference. I think all your data really shows is that some societies are less violent not that fewer guns==less violence.
are there any other fans of this book alarmed after reading that article. cutting out the "suprise" ending, the fantasy game, and the emotional tension between the students and letting all the adults be emotional. I mean thats not the story i remember reading. I fear this will become another starship troopers (which IMHO was not heinleins starship troopers, and just stole the title). --
i believe your thinking of teledesic(sp?) [big bills entry]. Iridium intially was slated to have like 80 some and then reduced it to 77. And if i remeber correctly Iridium went "live" a few months ago. I dont think LEO satalite fones are ever going to be big, land based cellular is just too pervasive. Hell some place (SE asia) have better cellular coverage than wire based phones! The/only/ place satallite coverage has an advantage is at sea, and i just dont see that much demand. Not to mention that those phones are just about pushing the safe limits on transmitting power (before they start to produce REAL health problems) --
wasnt the audio home recording act passed into law by 1995. it would seem hard to defend a patented idea that could easily have be forseen by this law --

hey give him a break. Its basicly one person that is writing blender, and the initial development was done on SGI's. The linux port was probably a lot less work than the windows port. I figure he's had to essentially fork his own code tree in order to do this. Which means he has to debug 2 versions now, since blenders interface doesnt use anything like a standard UI. --

I implied nothing of the sort... i was wondering if the linux kernel could be swaped out, so to speak, with the MacOS kernel... not one-to-one im sure, but...
i mean look at the title, the word GNU was replaced with MacOS(in the title) --
would it be possable to weld MacOS X UI onto the Linux kernal? A unified UI on on the hardware Linux supports would suddenly give them the appearance of being very popular. --
"Most people, when given the opportunity to do so, won't take pirated things."
