The universe doesn't rotate because there is no reference frame for it to rotate in, if there were then the universe wouldn't be the universe.

Actually they are referring to the Thrust/Thruster mass, if it scales linearly would be fantastic, but I'm skeptical. It also seems to exclude the mass of the power source.

If your car's hood flies off at speed is it the manufacture's fault, or did you just not closed it properly?
Now do Boeing and Southwest Airline. Yes Boeing has been kissing the pouch a lot lately but that doesn't mean it's always Boeing.

I think there is a big gap for business and government between Windows and Linux because I am not aware of a fully built out alternative to Active Directory.

Not really, in aircraft engines, the supersonic rotating detonation occurs in the combustion chamber, almost everything else is pretty standard jet engine. The only thing that is supersonic is the flame front. What Is A Rotating Detonation Engine - And Why Are They Better Than Regular Engines

Cars in '74 sucked performance wise, you should have gone with 1969, but even then you would have been wrong; Car are coming of the dealer's lot with 500 and 600 horsepower and street legal cars have ran the quarter in 5.77 sec at 260 mph.

Yeah, they don't see it as useful, but many people do, and it's part of national heritage. Maybe the government should take care of it? After all 4.5 million quid a year is a drop in the bucket compared to the cost of digitization and the recurring cost of ensuring the integrity of the data. Oh, this is the government?

The Preamble of The Declaration of Independence states

They are NOT rights granted by the Constitution, limited to Citizenship or territoriality, they are rights INHERENT to Mankind that the US Government is specifically prohibited from interfering with.

Haley is only worried about the bots because they are foreign, not because they are bots, the Five Eyes Countries really don't care because their technologies are well past simple Bots, they have direct feeds into the Social Media streams. They only get subpoenas to obfuscate have much access they have.

Digitize their whole collection? Okay. How big is that? 8 million objects? So, digitization means what? Full scientific photography of each object? Or are we talking 3D-scans too? Let's assume just the photography part. Each object needs to be signed out, transferred to the digitization center, set up on the digitization apparatus with controlled lighting, color control cards, rulers, whatever other targets you want, and photographed completely, before being returned to storage. Meanwhile the digitization team needs to prepare the metadata, verify the images, archive the images and metadata, as well as generate a reproduction master for use on the website. And you need a long term archival plan, with offline copies being remotely stored and routinely checked/corrected for bitrot. The cost of preparing the metadata alone will exceed $12M. Heck, the cost of having employees move those objects around the museum will cost more than $12M. If digitization only costs $1.50/object, we'd have a lot more digitizations in the world.

You mean the Chinese server farm that can't respect robots.txt and DoS'd my server? They have a social media wing?

Just call the agency "Turing" and make sure they have a lot of flexibility in their enforcement... and the power to create flexibility when required.

Or perhaps the Ukrainian government took steps to crush internal opposition and painted this action as somehow good. The fact that this possibility doesn't appear to have even registered in the slashdot mindset is terrifying. The fact is you don't know.

If you have enough cash, and you want to purchase any product or service that is legal and not highly regulated, and the Government finds out you have enough cash, they can simply take it under Civil asset forfeiture and if you're lucky, after a couple years of foot dragging and a hundred thousand dollars of legal expenses you'll get your cash back.
Civil Asset Forfeiture has considerable constitutional problems involving

1. The Fourth Amendment, unreasonable searches and seizures
2. The Fourth Amendment, warrants must be issued by a judge or magistrate, justified by probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation
3. The Fifth Amendment, due process clause stating that no person shall "be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law"
4. The Eighth Amendment, excessive Fines clause,
5. The Fourteenth Amendment, Due Process Clause,
6. The Fourteenth Amendment, to deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws

  and have parallels to the British Navigation Acts and the writ of assistance a major precipitating factor in the American Revolution.

At that point, "You will own nothing and be happy" because at least Slaves get gruel and those maggots are bonus proteins.
