Before the cabinet was built there was a request for the cabinet that stated how the cabinet should be built including things such as appearance, function, and durability.
I am not a coder, but I would think that the only metric that matters is does this product meet the specifications that it was intended to comply to?
Taylor has designed a magnetic filter to pull dust from the air, as well as a âoedust suckerâ that uses magnets in place of a vacuum. He has also discovered that microwaves melt lunar soil in less time than it takes to boil a cup of tea. He envisions a vehicle that could microwave lunar surfaces into roads and landing pads as it drives, and a device to melt soil over lunar modules to provide insulation against space radiation. The heating process can also produce oxygen for breathing.
Though any mining machinery will need to be completely redesigned for use on the moon. In some ways I'm sure it is easier to mine on the moon vs earth, but in almost every other way it is going to be harder and we will have to approach it from a completely different direction.
The trouble with moon dust stems from the strange properties of lunar soil. The powdery grey dirt is formed by micrometeorite impacts which pulverize local rocks into fine particles. The energy from these collisions melts the dirt into vapor that cools and condenses on soil particles, coating them in a glassy shell.
These particles can wreak havoc on space suits and other equipment. During the Apollo 17 mission, for example, crewmembers Harrison âoeJackâ Schmitt and Gene Cernan had trouble moving their arms during moonwalks because dust had gummed up the joints. âoeThe dust was so abrasive that it actually wore through three layers of Kevlar-like material on Jackâ(TM)s boot,â Taylor says.
To make matters worse, lunar dust suffers from a terrible case of static cling. UV rays drive electrons out of lunar dust by day, while the solar wind bombards it with electrons by night. Cleaning the resulting charged particles with wet-wipes only makes them cling harder to camera lenses and helmet visors. Mian Abbas of the National Space Science and Technology Center in Huntsville, Alabama, will discuss electrostatic charging on the moon and how dust circulates in lunar skies.
Luckily, lunar dust is also susceptible to magnets. Tiny specks of metallic iron (Fe0) are embedded in each dust particleâ(TM)s glassy shell.

Development will most probably take just as long as Apollo even with the increase in computing power. I doubt it was the calculations that took 9 years for us to get to the moon.
Although much testing can be done on computers you do need to do real world testing to make sure your models are correct as well as to look for manufacturing issues, bugs, etc.
Just look at the Russians as a good example of this. What went wrong most probably could not have been tested on computers since it was most probably a hardware failure. Testing the hardware takes time to do right, and it must be done right.
I bet that Top Gear could land a vehicle on the moon long before Shackleton Energy could.
Would be great if Top Gear actually did challenge them on this.

You cannot come up with a solution until you know what the problem is.
If you tear down a government without a clear idea of how to rebuild it it is then likely that the rebuilt government will end up being worse than the original.
Then again the 3D in Avatar was so good I would describe it as hallucinatory. Remember, it wasn't filmed on location, because it's location didn't exist anywhere except in a computer. 40 hours each frame for that actually seems reasonable when you look at the final product.
The animation in the Incredibles or other animated films isn't anywhere close to the graphics of Avatar and I'm sure that that kind of animation could be rendered in real time. As it is Team Fortress 2 looks very much like the Incredibles animation.
That would actually be pretty damn cool if I could have Morbo doing the news for me, other people watching the same news feed could have different avatars reading their news for them.
You can just set the filter to 1 so that you don't see any 0 or -1 comments which would take care of the majority of the anon posts for you.
If someone does up-mod an anon post it usually means he did actually contribute something to the discussion so you'll still see some anon posts, but they should at least be worth a read.
I use an ATI card as my main video card, wouldn't mind sticking a physics card in the other PCI-E slot. The thing is that if I put in an Nvidia card it won't work as a physics card since Nvidia has written the drivers in such a way that if you have a non-Nvida video card as your primary video card Nvidia will not allow you to use their cards just for physics.
So my hope is that if Intel puts out a consumer version then either I'll be able to buy an Intel board just for physics or Nvidia will drop their stupid restriction.
Either way if Intel puts out a consumer physics card I win.
Really, the idea that intelligence agencies work through murder is mostly (definitely not entirely, but mostly) a Hollywood/ New York Times Bestseller invention. In reality, assassination is way to risky to happen often or be used lightly.
Remember, we are talking about Israel here, they have no reservations about assassinations.
I'm all for torturing executives, placing them in jail, fining them till they have no money, etc, etc.....
It's just that China goes above and beyond that by actually killing the people responsible and yet corruption is still rampant so I don't think that doing any of the above will actually change anything.
Don't get me wrong I am still for it even if it is ineffective. It would just make me feel good knowing that the people who screw so many people get screwed.

Yea, tell that to my art teacher that failed me.
It was the only class where I did actually do the work.
Naw, space is for the Pygmies. You can pack them in tighter places, they weight less, and they don't consume as much.
The new suits are actually already designed, or at least test models have been produced and are being tested.
They have been show on the basic science channels.
Basically the very back part can be opened up and is attached to the moon buggy, you crawl in though the back of the suit and then seal it.

Goddamn fucking twilight, searching for new moon suit is not pulling up relevant images.
Watch out, the Moon is trying to get away from us.
It is currently moving at around 38mm a year away from us.
Do you know what that means?
Why in 12 more years it will be over a foot further away, do you know how that will effect the tides?
Nothing measurable.
How do you "rape the resources" of a lifeless rock?
With a very sturdy condom, and lots and lots of lube.
Actually the roads and landing fields might be one of the easier projects.

They don't look too legitimate if you check out their website.

Well, I see you read the table of contents, but did you actually read what they said?
Cause they aren't saying what you are saying.
There is a short story that does actually discus that particular use of technology.
Here is the chapter dealing with the Vertebrane system and it's uses.

Not sure about kids, but apparently adults will watch even the worst animation that is put on the cartoon network at night.

Because only douchbags care who got first post.
I'm only answering this question because you asked, not that I care.
I mainly brought up that Israel does assassinate people not because of this subject, but because the person stated it that this just does not happen.
People who work for legitimate anti-virus companies studying this worm have nothing to fear.
Now as to people who might be studying this worm in Iran for the Iranian government, I would be watching my back.
Wonder if they'll produce a consumer version.
