50" Panasonic plasma in the UK: 1300 to 5000
50" Panasonic plasma in the US: 1400 to 5000
Looks like there is a big mark up in the UK on TVs. So it makes me wonder what that actual price would be in the US. If they are in line with the 50" plasma's then it would be more in the range of 50,000.
Didn't the Air Force buy all the land around Area 51 because they had no other way to stop people from taking pictures from the surrounding hilltops? This implies that they can not prevent you from taking pictures or redacting previously taking pictures.
The only reason I can think of for risking one's life to save a RAID array is if you hadn't taken proper backups and stored them offsite. If that is the case, then the guy hardly deserves a "Sysadmin of the Year" award. Basically, he'd be getting an award for doing a brave yet foolish thing in order to cover for his lack of planning. It was where he was storing all his porn, pirated software and illegally downloaded music & movies.
On the other hand, 50 years ago, they could rely on simple and therefore more reliable systems.
The shuttle is just not the good choice, it was designed to be reused (and therefore be less expensive and more available) and it ended up being overpriced and dangerous.
I would not call the older systems more reliable. The Apollo had 17 missions with one failure that killed 3 astronauts and almost lost 3 more on another mission (Apollo 13). That makes it 1 in 17 failure rate. The shuttle has had 2 failures that killed 14 in 114 missions which makes it a 1 in 57 failure rate.
This is from the http://www.jwst.nasa.gov/:
"JWST's instruments will be designed to work primarily in the infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum, with some capability in the visible range."
I agree. Part 1c of Resolution 5a states "(c) has cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit". What exact does that mean. If you ask 10 people how big is a neihborhood, you probably will get 10 different answers. They need to either remove it or clearly define it.
as well as being tilted significantly in the plane of the solar system as compared to the other planets.
What does the tilt of its orbit have to do with anything? There is nothing in the IAU Resolution that even hints that the planet's orbits need to be in the same plane. Also, I have never seen any astronomer state anything about the tilt of its orbit being reason demote it from being a planet.
Actually, I have no problem with the wiretapping either. If you are afraid of a corporation storing personal data then you should not use the internet.
...The real problem is that they shouldn't have been keeping it in the first place!
Says who?
....If it can harm a consumer by its release, then it can harm that same consumer by the fact that the have it in their possession in the first place. Just how is AOL that much better or more trustworthy than the world at large?
So, by following your logic... Your credit history can harm you, so the credit reporting agencies should not keep that data.
.....And with this improvement in public awareness of how important it is to have private data safe-guarded and controlled
Did AOL have something in there privacy agreement stating that they would not release the search queries? If not, how is it private data? If not, why should they be responsible for someone being stupid enough to search for their SS#, CC# or any other personal information.
What they should have done was left the site up and then posted the search results of the search results. Now that would have been interesting.
"The planets are the planets and that is good enough for everyone. Even the world's best astronomers! "
I this was good enough for everyone then this discussion would not exist and the IAU would not be voting on it.

So, I can get two.

Actually, according to the NASA press release (http://www.nasa.gov/home/hqnews/2006/oct/HQ_06343 _HST_announcement.html), it is "tentatively targeted for launch during the spring to fall of 2008" and be able to continue to operate until about 2013.
So, If Pluto was the size of Jupiter and still had its unique orbit, would the orbit matter?

Why are people so afraid of change? Where would we be if everyone had the "Why change, It has been that way for years" attitude.
