Of course there is always doing away with the first stage or more accurately leaving it on the ground, the BB gun approach. Take a long tube, under vacuum, insert launch vessel under magnetic support and release compressed air behind the launch vessel, to accelerate it up the tube to achieve desired speed and the highest reasonable launch altitude. Now to improve the qualities of the compressed air, use hydrogen and oxygen and ignite it, within the tube behind the launch vessel. A really long tube with multiple ignition points, which kick off once the launch vessel has passed, to ensure desired pressure is maintained. Basically an extended ignition gun with much reduced shock and acceleration distributed across the length of the barrel. Small, low altitude satellites a speciality.

PS forgot to mention, if you seriously do want a job at TATA learn about this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.... Now once you understand, cricket , you will be able to communicate more effectively with the management at TATA. Things like, you don't go to the cricket to cheer your team, you go to the cricket to share companionship with friends and, enjoy a picnic at a sporting venue, where 'both teams' will demonstrate, skill, strategy, concentration and good sportsmanship (this is why Americans do not understand cricket and why they will prefer people that do, it's a state of mind).

I thought they simply just renegotiated your contract. One way negotiation, either accept the wage we will be offering the cheapest H1B worker we can find or quit and staff is replaced over time as they leave.

As for TATA and preference for south Asian workers, very likely those Indians at TATA feel the sting of American rascim every where they go and are simply trying to avoid it as much as possible at work. 'American Exceptionlism' causes all sorts of problems and American Politicians feed right into it because that smarmy ego stroking, do it hard enough and often enough, makes Americans cum votes (really all rather pathetic), shit, don't do it often enough and they call you a traitor to your face, al la Fox not-News.

Seriously who the fuck wants to compete with China's wages. Hostile to business, damn fucking right hostile to business. Keep pushing that B$ and you'll see how hostile it ends up and we are not just talking Australia but the whole 'western world'. If paying for imports is a problem, well, Australian just needs to smarten up and stop importing anything, it not like it is really necessary and that the capability of producing everything it needs can not be achieved (primary resources being the key, those with, versus the parasitical countries with their funny money, those without or just not enough).

All of it, or part of it, what designed rate of rotation and before or after a parachute is deployed to get it to design deployment speed, of course the tank is now a empty vessel by far the majority of mass is gone and how well the balance between centrifugal action and air pressure is handled in deployment. Banged up, is always better than blown up.

What definition? I was just formulating an element of designed for security and not the totality of it, just one rule. Design is not a definition, design is a continual process (now that is a definition, well, only in part ;) ).

Yet, you managed quite foolishly ignore risk, right in the face of the self evident consequence of it. It goes wrong, it goes boom and you have nothing. Besides staged rockets logically become a thing of the past, when you want to establish a permanent moon base (they become parts for the base and for vehicles that will go further out into space).

Apologies for the bold, forgot to '/' it off :\.

However Scientology's blatant and public attack on psychology and psychiatry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S..., purely done because both profession target the preferred victim of the non-believing professional scientologists and deny them potential victims by curing them, before they can be ruthlessly exploited, to the extent of stripping them of assets and psychological (sometimes even physically) enslaving them. So far from being a region, unless you want to try to count the psychopathic insanity at the top of Scientology to be a religion. We are talking some seriously sick stuff going on here and it has nothing at all to do with those who choose to believe in Scientology but those who exploit them.

By the way guys and gals, filling the thread with lame off topic posting, pretty silly but it does reflect your inherent authoritarian and autocratic nature, no dissenting opinions allowed and all 'suppresive people' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S... must be silenced one way or another. As for this shite http://www.scientology.org/faq..., "There are certain characteristics and mental attitudes that cause a percentage of the population to violently oppose any betterment activity or group. This small percentage of society (roughly 2 percent) cannot tolerate that Scientology is successfully improving conditions around the world. This same 2 percent is opposed to any effective self-betterment activity. The reason they so rabidly oppose Scientology is because it is doing so much to help society. Those who are upset that people are improving are few in number compared to the millions who have embraced Scientology and applaud its effort to build a better world.". Now that is hate speech fellows (GFY) and slander as it claims you are a terrorist if you oppose Scientology, as well as being so stupidly contradictory ie 'This small percentage of society (roughly 2 percent)', 'are few in number compared to the millions' (erm, yeah, right). You know like 2% of 7 billion, is like a whole lot of people 140 million. Now who looks 'rabid' that 2% of society or the asthmatic dwarf ;D.

Designed for security needs to follow the KISS principle, keep it simple stupid. Only allow it to do what you need it to do, zero flexibility. Keep the device as simple as possible, not one feature beyond what is absolutely necessary to it's designed function. This is the most important rule in designing for security. Your lock should only open able one way, the way you choose. The whole idea of bios/os/application is the first thing that has to go, great for general computing but for secure computing to many ways of doing things you didn't intend for it to do.

Break down the overall function into their broad elements and separate and secure each element and provide fixed encrypted communications pathways between each element. At least with completely separate hardware and operating applications between each element, parallel processing will be far more efficient and far less processing capability will be required.

The more complex, the harder to secure, the simpler the easy it is to secure.

Yes because it would be a return to the old corrupt propaganda main stream media model. Pricing would not be what they claim but selective pricing would be the model. The insiders would get one price and the outsiders would get a price that they purposefully could not afford. Basically they want to keep the main stream media propaganda lies going and to do that, they need to silence the truth.

Basically the psychopaths are trying one bullshit propaganda method after another to get the lock in on pay to speak and that price being will beyond what the majority can afford. Open communications are a function of democracy and where necessary be fully funded by government to ensure equal access.

Why do it the hardest and most fuel inefficient way imaginable. Split seam the fuel tank, then swing out and rotate the elements and create a massive autogyro. Sure you have to be careful with the seal of the seams in the tank and wind could be a problem requiring on the fly change of landing zone but overall a whole lot less additional fuel required and even a bad landing will still be soft by comparison.

Technically, you don't want the best person, you want the person most suited to the role. The whole bullshit mobile disposable workforce is a fallacy, driven by amoral attitudes and greed. You do want loyalty, someone that will stay, you do want team players and, you do want someone psychologically (that includes physiological cerebral differences) suited to the role. You don't want to hire someone who will just leave at first better offer, someone whilst very good but who mainly focus their skills on socio politically manipulating everything for personal advantage and, someone highly knowledgeable but totally bored with the role and always attempting to avoid it. You definitely do not want people competing for roles as you will just get people who are better at competing for the role than actually carrying out the role. Good enough is often far more productive than the best. So sometimes making a some what arbitrary choice filling other guidelines can achieve more. Men and women, are factually different and achieving a balanced staff does make sense with regard to that balance being expressed in student numbers.

Some things need to be disposed of like actively competing for a job, disposable work force, the idea of the best, negotiated wages and conditions, these all create an unhealthy work environment, that inevitably leads to failed companies as the stuff are not interested in what they can achieve together, they are only interested in how much they can get out of the employers as fact as possible and that is where their focus ends up being during the work day.

Want to starve 'The Man' out of existence, deny 'The Man' access to your wallet, deny 'The Man' access to your choices, deny 'The Man' access to your relationships, deny 'The Man' everything you can, you might not win but when enough of us do it, 'The Man', also loses.

Physiology will limit oculus rift and all others. Sure they'll get a grab early on but main stream response to the impact of using one over any extended period will hugely limit acceptance, especially as yet another device. With phones, lighter weight, longer life batteries, durability and more voice features are going to be the new goals. Marketing at exclusivity will inevitably fail, as common sense always eventually prevails over fads.
