PJTV has a good interview with him which might still be public access, or archived on youtube. I'd find it for ya but I am at work and those sites are blocked.

Seems like the simplest solution for the truckers would be to just install a safe on each truck.

Hey if Eestor bought that technology, they might actually be able to deliver a product in a few years from now! ;) If Bill Gates could do it with DOS, why not. :o Gates didn't buy DOS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Kildall Kildall was particularly annoyed when the University of Washington asked...

The term "Marines" is just using a foreign language word for "sea" (mar) to label soldiers on the sea. Soldiers in space should thus be termed "astrenes". Astrones? Cosmenes? What is your suggestion? :wink: If we had the kind of disruptive technology seemingly necessary to truly militarizing space-...

I don't know... if the navy is able to start building starships, they might be able to put together a solid case to take over the air force. One 90 year old instance of interservice rivalry solved! :lol: Sorry, the Air Force is only ~64 years old, while the Navy was there at the beginning and befor...

Where's simply not wanting to be married to each other? That fundamental free will clause should top everything else. I think that was the point of MSimon's original post: If they have any children not old enough to be on their own, then they need to wait until their kids grow up before they separa...

I fear my Calculus 2 class may be doing the same thing to me that meth did to those folks. 30+ hours of homework a week is getting old :x

MATH and PHYSICS. If you can learn adequately from online courses, fine, but don't be afraid to pay for a class, you'll need to get past calculus to understand some of it. This. I am in college calculus 2 now and still feel like I have ever so barely scratched the surface. From what I have been abl...
