In think 'commercialization" means a little more than lobbing a suborbital once, or selling tickets to a bunch of saps (for which there _should_ be a W.C.Fields 'never give a sucker an even break'-prize).
It _might_ be considered commercial _after_ he delivers on those tickets - for all the good tourism is.
And exactly what does the US Space Command have in its closet that can get off the ground as far as even the 'space station'; let alone with any kind of weapon attached?
Wow. I'd never thought I'd meet one of its creators.:)
Again, an excellent job; I was disappointed that it only covered 10 years. The pages are well-scanned, the OCR is a help when it comes to searching, and as for the style: as in design, 'less is better'.
The only improvement I can envision would be an index to the main images wherein One would have "next/previous" buttons for "year", "issue", "story" and "page" and have the images come-up in a frame for page-by-page reading.
'Design' has long been a favorite and I'm glad to have stumbled across the project!
Here's what you want. I have a close friend who has one of these and SWEARS by it. It'll accept 'extension numbers' to dial-through, play prerecorded messages, route to answerers and faxes, and hang up on unauthorized callers.
Different models with different capabilities. Not too pricey.

Telecommuting Backlash
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
I can remember the only time a company let me telecommute: I broke one leg, the other knee, and shattered a hip in a car accident, and they gave me an LA-36 Decwriter II, an acoustic-coupler(!) modem, had an extra phone line put in during my convalescence, and whenever I needed paper or ribbon I had them the next morning.
"Encryption", as such, consisted of mixing-up the data lines on the parallel-side(s) of the UARTs (8!=40320, back then they thought _that_ was hot sh*t; but I thought that was a pain in the *ss because I could only talk to the one modem at work and nothing else).
Switching time (i.e. lead capacitance) is the worst bottleneck in chip operation: it can take a (relatively) long time to go from 'yup-that's-definitely-a-zero' to 'yup-that's-definitely-a-one'.
The space program has sufficiently proven that it can't accelerate ten years in twenty years. The first launch was 4/81, the first accident was 1/86 (#51), the second accident was 1/03 (#107) - there have been something like 113 launches since 1981 (how'd they get the numbering screwed up?) and they're still doing it the same way. and there's nothing being visibly tested (press releases, test launches, etc).
IMO: when it comes to "accelerating the program" I don't think it matters so much what experiments they're doing so much as how they're getting them up there.
The U.S. manned space program went from 'nothing' to 'shuttle' in about 21 years (1960-1981), 'nothing' to 'moon' in about 8 years, did 'moon' for three-plus years, did 'Skylab' for only SIX MONTHS, has been running at 'shuttle' for the last 25 years, was stuck at 'o-rings' for two-plus years, and has been stuck at 'foam' for the last three years.

Swap-out the cameras? Wuh? You can mix/match cams & lenses to run the range of fields of view. As for white balance: 99% of what I do is monochrome - I use filters when I need multispectral - and having that Bayer pattern in there unnecessarily doesn't do me any favors.
Oh yeah - a lot of the "surveillance"-stuff (cams in clocks, buttplugs, books, clothing, etc.) seems to be expensive crap, but I've had some good purchases of low-light & cheapo/almost-disposable 'board' cameras for lab use (photogrammetry, hyperspectral, microscopy, & data acq.) as well as personal-property security.
I've never found anything in my hotel rooms when I travel; but the stuff in the lobbies and hallways is always fantastically obvious.
Remember though - "eliminating spyware", even only ONE offending module, is leagues different from "calling it quits, reinstalling the OS, and reloading the documents".

Good Stuff.
So, now, we've established that the Canadian government is apparently ignoring itself?

Aren't ICBMs pretty much on suborbital trajectories to hit stationary ground targets?
And the ISS (for example) is orbiting about 400 KM @ about 7.7 KM/sec?
And the US is having a little bit of a hard time using purpose-built missiles to hit subsonic, in-atmosphere targets?
Not even considering the politics involved, I think it can be pretty hard enough...
We're already knee-deep in [organic matter] by having Dodd, LIEberman, Shays, and Rell in office, to name a few.

Good times though (except for the medical).

Yeah; but that lonely little gas cooker is still skiing around up there all by itself!
I like that!

Where has 'acceleration' been 'lately'?

This isn't a plug for the company - but you can see there all the kinds of cameras mentioned in the article.
