You're looking at it the wrong way. They don't care if you have a bomb/gun/knife in an airport, they care if you have a bomb/gun/knife and then get on a plane and it goes airborne. Then (despite the metal door) they think the plane will fly into something important.

Never mind it is probably this program: Disruption Tolerant Networking for Space Operations (DTN), http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/research/experiments/DTN.html

something you know, something you have, and something you are

Is the image noisy or are those grey dots something that I should take note of?

I read the article and it sounds to me like they are "dumping the full retail license" for the PULSB license and keeping the OEM one. It states that the PULSB "will definitely be cheaper than purchasing a full retail license and probably on a par with OEM pricing." So am I really to believe that a company, Microsoft, is really going to be lowering the overall gross profits? Where's the catch?

There is a rod/pole on the top edge to keep it out like it is in a strong wind. Talk about an engineering face palm if the smart engineers at NASA didn't figure out that one sooner rather than later.

Honest question: Is that illegal? It could be argued that it is a mechanism of time-shifting, but from my past reading, the mechanism of distribution determines legality so downloading content that even you pay for (e.g. HBO Shows) would be illegal because it is a different distribution mechanism. Any thoughts? I'd love to download a show that I forgot to Tivo, but I'm under the impression that it is against current law.

Yes it is in the public domain, but there is no requirement for them to proactively share it to the public.

you mean using something like concrete or asphalt to fix potholes? That's crazy talk!

I really wish this poll didn't put in "video entertainment" as an option as television is video entertainment. I would have like that in a different poll. I think it skews the result. I wonder what the true intent of the poll was. hulu vs. television, mp3 downloads vs streaming music, etc... My video entertainment is > 95% television but my music entertainment is 100% streaming.

Forgive me, but does the "Transit duration" mean he had less than a second to take this picture before all three were not in view? Or is that something different. I would love to know how long he had where such an image could be captured.
