Python is just a superset of C that some ass wrote because he thought it would be cute to have an invisible block closure/. I am forking python and adding a customizable block closure so people have the choice to be handcuffed by indentation as block closure if they are really that stupid.
If you know C and assembler you know ever stinking POS scripting language that has come down the pike, since every last one of them is nothing more then a C derivative.
In point of fact what they need to do is take that Saturn V sitting in Houston, carefully take it apart and blue print it as they do. That thing can push 500.000 lbs to LEO.
They need to stop re-inventing the damn wheel and just build the damn thing while there is still some institutional knowledge around. It works, it is proven by many launches and it is a pretty simple beast.
Everything NASA has ever flown was manufactured by private contractors. NASA designed a lot of it the contractors designed some of it but built it all.
As other posters have said, almost everything these newbies ( SpaceX, Scaled Composites, etc. ) are flying is all based upon the R&D done by NASA and given freely to these companies.
NASA administered, QA'd, supervised and launched ALL of the vehicles that have put people into orbit or on the moon and brought them home alive with very few exceptions.
Private companies are now launching Satellites and their record is not nearly as good as NASA's but it is getting there, but again riding on the backs of the R&D done by, wait for it..... YOUR TAX MONEY.
So while all of this is happening, are YOU getting a dividend check? Nope. What IS going to happen is that they are going to follow the current Unfettered Capitalism model of paying the least they can, running safety margins razor thin and making a few people really rich and everyone else getting their jobs off-shored as soon as the technology is stable enough.
When it is time to go to MARS or to the nearest star do you really think that private companies are going to fund that? If you do, then you seriously need to get a reality check because that is a seriously long term investment and the ROI is more then likely going to be non-existent for decades and there is not a company that is public that will do that simply because the "Free Market" wont stand for it.
The next big things are going to be done by Governments because that is where the will and resources to do these things comes from and it is political leaders who will sell it to the American, Japanese, French, British and possibly even the Russian people.
Well since everyone else was AC I will ignore them.
You have 10 trillion numbers to pick from and they are pretty much random sequences. Pick ANY starting point and then pick any say 512 numbers randomly based upon any other set of factors.
Lets say we start at oh the 565,324,234,345 digit.
Good luck figuring that out.
Pretty much the same principle as the RAND book only one hell of a lot bigger.
Raw digital video information is useless. I don't know but I think that the RAW data from the senors would be 1000 times or more the size of the compressed movie and is therefor useless to me
Digital does not have the ability to have a true fade from one color to the other, there will always be distinct boundaries between each stage, that is just the way it is, you cannot get around digital being a 1 or a zero.
Film on the other hand is completely seamless and beautiful.
The first movie I have a memory of seeing was Un homme et une femme in 1966. Yup I was 6 and my mother had me along for the matinee ( I asked her many many years later ). I saw the movie years later from an original print and I the images were beautiful, subtle, rich. Not like today's cartoon looking HD movies that I cannot stand. I really don't want to see every pore in ever actors face and when they try to tone it down with after effects it just looks wrong.
I want a movie to transport me, to lul me into that realm were I can surrender reality to that dreamy images on the silver screen.
To me a movie is art. It is like the difference between a portrait painted by a master and a photograph., even one on film they just don;t compare. Imagine some of Adams best work done in glaring digital. Just the thought offends me.
Don't get me wrong computers are great for a lot of things, but for art, not so much and that is what I want on the screen not garish digital madness.
I know this will get lost in the background noise, but ti needs to be said.
File has more latitude, better color reproduction, and does not have jaggies, compression tear or bizarre artifacts.
Film has an ethereal quality and it allows my eyes to relax and take everything in while letting me slip into that space were I am transported to the realm of the movie.
One day film will be gone completely. For now I have stocked up on as much 35mm film stock that I can afford to but and have it in deep cold storage. The chemicals required to develop it will always be there and I have the formula's to mix it.
If The Government does not pursue this then a very tricky precedent will be set to whit:
1. The camera was and is the property of the The Government, this is not in question.
2. No agent of The Government can declare a property abandoned and therefor subject to salvage without first satisfying all aspects of applicable Unites Sates Code which regulates the disposal of Government property.
3. The former Government Employee improperly removed Government property from the Governments possession.
4. The former Government Employee has now attempted to sell at auction Government property that he has no authority to dispose of.
With those facts in mind...
If the Government allows this improper disposal of Government property to go forward then a precedent is set that would allow a challenge in Federal Court which essentially would be, "Hey you let HIM do it, why can't I do it?". thereby circumventing a reasonable chunk of United States Code.
This is not personal, this is legal and the the decision made by U.S. District Court Judge Daniel Hurley was the correct decision. The Government is actually trying to be really nice about this and doing it in civil court rather then simply arresting him for violating USC Title 18 Section 641 and simply seizing the camera as evidence and prosecuting him.
The best way to have settled this would have been to have his local Senator and Congressman to run a personal bill awarding him the property and then he could have done whatever he wanted with it.
Most everyone I know does this just for the fun of it. You can sometimes get some funding fro universities and even high schools. Students build instrument packages and you fly the package for them. The money they give you will usually cover the cost of the motor and a bit extra but that is about it.
All of the big high altitude rockets have on-board computers and most have video cameras etc. On launch they go off a rail since there are no active flight controls. The accelerate at well over 10g so they are up to speed very very quickly. Once they clear the rail they can drift but at the speeds they are going up at not so very much. Almost all the drift occurs before apogee as it is coasting or at apogee as the rocket noses over and start the trip back down. Additionally for those kind of launches you wait for the least amount wind possible.
Most of these types of rockets transmit telemetry on HAM frequencies. The operator can watch real time events from the on-board computer for altitude, speed, chute deployment, location ( from the on-board GPS ), ascent stage separation, sustain stage ignition signal, sustain stage burning and all sorts of things.
As the computer detects altitude decreasing and sufficient speed has been attained the computer deploys a drogue parachute which has just enough drag to keep the nose pointed straight down so the rocket accelerates to terminal velocity very quickly.
At a preset altitude either the main chute is deployed or another larger drogue to decelerate the rocket to a speed where the main recovery chute will then deploy without either shredding or tearing the rocket to bits.
Most model rocket engines ( like an estes ) have a small charge at the top of the motor which has a time delay fuse that is lit when the motor ignites. The charge is then ignited which has just enough pressure to cause the two halves of the rocket to separate and deploy the recovery parachute at or just passed apogee so if you have any amount of wind aloft your rocket will ride the wind as it descends at from 2000 or so feet if you have a slow descent it could drift quite a ways.
Rockets like the one in question are very expensive to build and the cost can push up to $5K to $10K depending on how exotic the materials are. Launching those can easily hit $500.00 per launch or more depending on who your motor builder is and other factors.
No, Obama didn't want a class war nor does he, actually no one who is sane or even those that are mildly insane want a class war
You don't have to go far back into this nations history to see that this is just another cycle. We had the Robber Barron's and we had Breaker Boys and the contrast was so vivid. Vast political power and wealth was so heavily concentrated among so few that it led this country to a point where we were headed for a "French Revolution" of our very own. Only continued pressure on the coal mining industry and events such as the Lattimer Massacre and the tide of public opinion forced these companies to conceded both wage and safety increases.
Contrast that with what is happening today and although the circumstances are different that basic factors are the same. Once again consolidation of wealth and political power are tilting the landscape to the point where the growing gap between those with wealth and power are widening to the point where it is beginning to reflect a different time.
This era has brought what is essentially corporate blackmail against entire populations. If "Wall street" does not see continued growth in both market share and profit on a quarter to quarter basis then a companies stock is instantly devalued by a market that no longer seeks a solid investment but a quick buck on short term gains no matter what the cost. CEO's are rewarded for simply dumping employees to boost margins to satisfy those that will sell off the stock as soon as it rises a few points. This of course drives companies to threaten the towns and communities where they are located to essentially give them a free ride or they will simply pull up stakes and go elsewhere, burning cash and reserves in the process, pushing down the real value of the company but making the short term numbers look good, thus pushing up short term gains for the wealthy gamblers.
The entire "global economy" is really good for a very few but not so great for the vast majority. Every software development project that is shipped offshore takes away not only local jobs but reduces real income to the people that are supported by those local jobs being in the area. When a manufacturing plant is closed it is not only the workers that have lost jobs but other local small businesses, real estate, etc. etc.
What I like to call the "Wall-Mart'ng" of America is killing this country. Cheaper goods, lower wages and the only people making money are at the top. Wallmart reported 15.1 Billion in Net Income. I can completely see that when you are marking things up and paying $10.80 an hour wages.
The other big issue that is pushing us farther and farther to a point where things can flash is the fact that the Supreme Court granted 1st Amendments Rights to a stack of paper, aka, a corporation. This now gives those with large amounts of money to basically be faceless, nameless and anonymous in putting up whatever sort of campaign they like without having to be an actual campaign in order to greatly influence the outcome of elections.
I personally chalk it up to the measurement between the emitter and the detector.
Yes I know they say they are very confident within a margin of error and that amount they are observing is within that margin of error so it must be right??
Personally I aint gonna start changing C based upon their confidence that their variation is within the margin of error that they say is within the margin of error of the distance between the gun and the target since everything else in GR & SR has been demonstrated correct thus far.
I was trained to arc weld in high school and one of the things the teacher said was that after the first couple of time your eyes would feel a little like they had some grit in them and that was of course wearing traditional arc welding gear.
Because HTML / CSS are the hugest kludge ever. Get it, EVER!!!!!
The controls suck ditch water, the implementation is without a doubt completely sophomoric and having to contain divs with divs within spans within divs and having to have just the right CSS reset file to make fucking CSS work right, having to jump through insane hoops with CSS which has the most ASS syntax imaginable just to make a pull down menu work correctly completely exposes the utter stupidity of its designers.
The DOM is the worst bit of cruft I have seen in 25 years of software work, the tools for debugging it are atrocious to non existent and the fact that asshats like the idiots in Redmond still wont go along with what everyone else is trying to do so that the whole fucking steaming pile might actually one day make sense simply spells out that it is completely and utterly broken.
Applications need to be broken away the whole html/css/js and a program needs to be written that will actually make applications work. It needs data aware controls that are an exact match to the OS they are running on and it is completely doable, today.
Fuck you, Fuck you, Fuck you, Fuck you, Fuck you and fuck you some more!:P
As soon as the dickheads who wrote it rebuild it so I have the OPTION of a block closure character of MY choosing I will use it, until then they can all go stuff their heads into a bucket shit.
Hmmm lets see... 200 plus million years to sequester all that CO2 and we have released, at least by some estimates over 50% of it in a little over 200 hundred years...
Nope, no effect at all. Move along, nothing to see here.
While I think 3d printing has some real value and use I don't think this will work out unless there is a major breakthrough in the chemistry of it all.
The fastest curing concrete I know of that has any real strength is the stuff that CalTrans uses to fix big cracks in concrete roadbeds and it takes an hour.
Now the cool thing about the 3rd "printing" of most solids is that the material is in powder form and and a laser is used to fuse small amounts at a time and then build on that until you have the desired shape. Because you are subject only to the limitations of the lasers focusing ability and the supporting ability of the surrounding powdered material you can do very complex shapes.
Since the fasting curing concrete takes about an hour I can t see how trying to apply this technique is feasible. Concrete can only stacked so tall when it it in its uncured state before it slumps. Not only that but the actual cement has little if any structural strength. It is not until the cement is mixed with a material such as sand and gravel of various sizes that it gains strength from the material that it holds in a matrix and thus supporting itself.
Now concrete is great in compression loads but not so very damn good in shear loads, hence re-bar, pre-stressing etc.. So how could one possibly "print" down layers of cement. Also uncured cement does not bond very well to cured cement as anyone who has ever patched their cement driveway can tell you. I mean even if you had some way of way of making n number of water molecules transit through a matrix dry cement and aggregate to cause the curing reaction at a specified depth, how long would it take that to cure? I know various chemicals have been added to accelerate the process but this typically yields weaker concrete.
Metro Style apps can, for example, talk to one another. Pictures stored in a photo app can be easily shared with a social networking app. Likewise, you can click the “share” button whilst in Internet Explorer 10, and post a link to straight to a Twitter or email client. “Two apps can share data between them, without the two apps knowing anything about one another,” said Jensen Harris, Microsoft’s director of program management.

There are many many formulations but mostly it comes down an oxidizer, fuel and a binder.
Lots of engine builders use a variation on the formula for the shuttle solid rocket boosters (SRB's) and some use the exact same formula.
See the Wikipedia article about Solid Fuel Rockets for mor information.
