The development of non-ballistic hypersonic weapons is one of the reasons that the U.S. is heavy into making the laser weapons functional, affordable and usable. Something like the one on the USS Ponce, maybe not that one but the next generation of the weapon. Now, defense against something like Pournelle and Nivien's project Thor is another story.

We need to see if there is any difference between the cards that are given to regular workers to hand out and the cards that the government-affairs team hands out. No difference, no problem. Difference, problem.

If one reads Gcaptian, this and other maritime news is old hat. Here is a real ship (travels under it's own power) that is quite large. http://gcaptain.com/giant-piet...

Since it is 1 degree (f) here this morning, I would like the paint / cover to warm my house. Although the snow on my roof does provide some insulation and would interfere with the collection of solar heat.

In each classroom, installing a exit door to the outside instead of having door(s) that lead back into the school might be quite a bit less expensive and more effective at keeping the "bad person" away from potential victims.

Let them have the video, but with the condition that they live stream every hour of the video starting from the first minute to the last minute of the first video and then the first minute to the last minute of the second video and on and on. No editing allowed. If there is identifying information that would be shown, go to a black screen until the information is no longer on the video.

Drone or RPV?

Is the $600,000 going to the government or the people that were affected? Could Marriott be in the crosshairs for a class action also?

Could a person then show up in court via Facebook? If a judge actually thinks that the persons account is really that person and only that person that is reading and responding, a appeal to a higher court with some understanding / intelligence is needed.

If it included the battery then that might mean something. As it is now, there is just a low percentage of every needing the coverage. No real cost to Tesla, lots of good P.R. but not much else.

Any idea of how much the actors will be paid for the syndicated shows? TBBT will be broadcast nearly 24/7 all over the world for the next few years. Just look at the shows that TV-Land is broadcasting, some of them are nearly as old as I am and I watched Captain Kangaroo.

The Coast Guard regulations too.

Wonder if it works like this one, http://www.mtu.edu/news/storie...

You can tell that he is not is sales as his finger covered the name on the camera. If he would have moved his fingers the name would have been visible to everyone viewing the video. Even the newest "booth babes" know how to present. Still a neat camera though.
