There was a British (and possibly with later backing and involvement from ESA) project in (iirc) the late 80's early 90's called Hotal, it was a low orbit space plane, mainly focused on passenger travel. It didn't get much beyond the drawing board) As the Skylon project is from ESA I wouldn't be surprised if Hotal had an influence on this.

In this effort, they are recruiting developers. XBMC is, by far, one of the finest projects to come out of the open source community; and to think it is homebrew. XBMC is a massive project, with the current SVN branch weighing about 350M before compilation. Porting it will be a big effort and any hackers willing to contribute should check out the Linux port project.

A government-backed study, funded by the Department for Education and Skills, found that some teachers are reluctant to teach history lessons on The Holocaust for fear of offending Muslim students whose beliefs include Holocaust denial. As such, many schools are not covering the subject. Additionally, similar problems are being met with lessons on The Crusades because these lessons contradict teachings from local mosques.

Isn't there a law that requires UK schools to cover these topics? Should there be?"

Could this be a way of avoiding/killing DRM?

Users have to pay for each track they download, but sharing songs they've purchased from Peer Impact earns them credits they can spend on the service.

If the reward system is good enough to make the user 'want' to comply, purchase and share on a crediting system it could just work.

I agree with the parent post, it could be very interesting seeing the RIAA work with technology.
