given that gravity, as a force, is a gazillion times weaker than electromagnetic, storing energy using it actually isn't that great. you need to have a MASSIVE amount of water to store any appreciable amount. go do the numbers.
I would go with something more along the lines of "individuals doing creative hard work create wealth", and then discuss the merits and problems of various possible funding models for that.

Are you kidding? We've hardly even begun! Mysterious things are going on with Saturn's rings between last time we flew by and this time, we've been getting a whole truckload of data from Mars which we have only barely begun to analyze, and we have no idea what's on the inside of Jupiter. Oh, and no close-up pictures of Pluto, ever.
You don't need to specifically support partitioning on the chip level per se, you just need to have an instruction set that comes already fully virtualizable. X86 happens to be not quite clean enough, thus you take a slight performance hit with VMware, but this is a special case, not the norm. Mac-On-Linux does the equivalent on PPC, and has a negligible-except-for-I/O hit, IIRC.
YES! That is also one of the main reasons I continue using mozilla (typin on it now).
I think about it in terms of unification/disunification of the information interface -- having two separate APIs to access things, if you will. Programs can always become more powerful and useful by accessing multiple different types of things using a common interface, witness Unix and the "everything's a file" paradigm. Deciding that searching isn't the same as browsing, and should therefore be accessed differently, just sucks.
No no, that was one of the big pendulums that show the rotation of the planet over a 24 hour period. They are really tricky to get going right, and they were having lots of problems with random people walking by touching it and messing it up. So they put up that sign around the edge and the number of incidents went way down:)
Just because we know that ionizing radiation definitely causes mutations which can definitely cause cancer, doesn't mean that there aren't other possible routes.
But what makes cracker crime so dangerous to the IT industry is that it attacks the trustworthiness of the infrastructure.
No more than the somewhat frequent bank robberies that occurred in the Wild West (tm) attacked the trustworthiness of the banking infrastructure. People talk a lot about cybercrime, because it's a new thing, but if you're buying from a reputable vendor online, the probability of getting ripped off is quite low.
If the internet and computing becomes a ghetto of spyware, crackers, and phishers, the economics of IT will suffer.
This makes a good argument for securing your network competently, not sending people who try to break in to the big house for a period of time after which they'll come out a lot worse than when they went in. Are you familiar with the kinds of mental (and physical) fuckery that go on inside prisons?
I just don't see crackers causing internet usage to drop significantly. "Continued adoption and use of IT" might have been an issue last decade, but now, if a business is not already using computers, it's because they have a better solution for the problem at hand -- if you haven't switched already, you're probably not going to.
Gentoo boot scripts have dependency information in them already -- however, I'm not sure if their init does things in parallel or not. Shouldn't be too hard to add with all the information already there though. Sample, from/etc/init.d/exim:
1. Nothing in Earth orbit goes 67,000 mph. The fastest orbit (which is directly above the atmosphere) is around 18,000 mph. 2. SpaceShipOne is NOT an orbital vehicle! It just goes straight up straight down. Maximum speed around Mach 3 (but in some thin air, so it doesn't translate exactly).

Oh, right! Ok. However, Novell is going to port evolution to windows, so that'll be fixed soon enough :)
Ummmm, haven't you seen Evolution? Or is there some other reason that's not what you're looking for?
good god, did you say 110m radiotelescope???!!! that's longer than a football field!
hmmm, guess so.

sorry to burst your bubble, it would only be a 1500 MT hit. not enough to destroy more than an area maybe the size of TX.

Creationism cannot be a scientific theory, so it is perfectly appropriate to poke fun at those attempting to convince people that it is.
Go look up "nondisprovability" and "specific testable hypotheses".
If it's just the E ring in danger of going away, then how is it "rings" could be disappearing? That's a bit sensational.

You do realize that ionization is not the only way that RF can affect the body, right? There's your basic heating and then there's this:
microwaves open up the blood brain barrier

OOPS! I totally screwed that one up. It should be 1 in

But what makes cracker crime so dangerous to the IT industry is that it attacks the trustworthiness of the infrastructure.
No more than the somewhat frequent bank robberies that occurred in the Wild West (tm) attacked the trustworthiness of the banking infrastructure. People talk a lot about cybercrime, because it's a new thing, but if you're buying from a reputable vendor online, the probability of getting ripped off is quite low.
If the internet and computing becomes a ghetto of spyware, crackers, and phishers, the economics of IT will suffer.
This makes a good argument for securing your network competently, not sending people who try to break in to the big house for a period of time after which they'll come out a lot worse than when they went in. Are you familiar with the kinds of mental (and physical) fuckery that go on inside prisons?
I just don't see crackers causing internet usage to drop significantly. "Continued adoption and use of IT" might have been an issue last decade, but now, if a business is not already using computers, it's because they have a better solution for the problem at hand -- if you haven't switched already, you're probably not going to.
These airships are high enough that the problem won't vanish entirely
Methinks the fiber running from your house in NY to the server in CA will add a slight bit more latency than a 13 mile vertical round trip.
if I search for a specific brand, all the other brands saying "me too" piss me off.
Yes, but should it be illegal?
Gentoo boot scripts have dependency information in them already -- however, I'm not sure if their init does things in parallel or not. Shouldn't be too hard to add with all the information already there though. Sample, from /etc/init.d/exim:
depend() {
need logger net
provide mta
}
Oh, and the GPS satellites are not in geosynchronous orbit, they are in medium orbits with a period of around 12 hours.
earth radius: ~3450 nautical miles
gps sats: 10988 nautical miles
geosynch: 19323 nautical miles
1. Nothing in Earth orbit goes 67,000 mph. The fastest orbit (which is directly above the atmosphere) is around 18,000 mph.
2. SpaceShipOne is NOT an orbital vehicle! It just goes straight up straight down. Maximum speed around Mach 3 (but in some thin air, so it doesn't translate exactly).
It will actually work outside of the constellation!
SIMPSONS DID IT!!!
It only works on my Mozilla 1.7.3 if I use the "with pop-up blocker" link. Not so on the other one.
