CEV to be made commercially available
On 7 Dec 2005 15:30:06 -0800, in a place far, far away, "Dave O'Neill"
made the phosphor on my monitor glow in such a way as to indicate that: I've already put money where my mouth is when it comes to pure self graficitation of an aerospace nature. So? If you have to ask that question then you really have a problem with all this. I repeat. So? What the hell is your point? I made it, I'm rather surprised that you can't seem to see it. No, you didn't make a point. You simply stated an irrelevant fact. What is your point? As I said, it is not possible to tell this from your endless navel gazing on Usenews. My what? You've posted something like, according to Google, 25% of the content of this particular Newsgroup. That's utter nonsense. |

No, you didn't make a point. You simply stated an irrelevant fact. What is your point? You talk a lot about how space tourism is going to be big but you've not even done any of the closest things to it. How in any rational world does that follow from the fact that you've taken a ride in a jet? There are many people who are interested in space tourism, who don't want to ride in jets. If you had the faintest inkling about market research, in this area or any other, you'd be aware of this. I assume you are saving yourself. I should sacrifice myself? You didn't answer my previous question. Will you not be satisfied until I and my loved ones are begging in the street? What kind of monster are you? As I said, it is not possible to tell this from your endless navel gazing on Usenews. My what? You've posted something like, according to Google, 25% of the content of this particular Newsgroup. That's utter nonsense. Have you searched on Google News for how much "rand simberg" authored stuff there is on sci.space.policy versus the total number of posts? No. Please do so and then tell it is nonsense. I think, based on the search I just did I was actually being rather conservative. That's utterly hilarious. |

Please do so and then tell it is nonsense. How does one have Google do such a count? Can it, say, tell you how many posts by Rand between such and such a date? Or do you have to count 'em yourself? If it does it automatically... post numbers here. Settle the issue. Shhhh.... Don't spoil Dave's delusions. They're all he has. |

Cowardly... perhaps. Troll? No, actually nothing he has asked in this thread falls into that definition. OK, just a slanderous moron, with no basis for the slander. Then you will have no problem refuting his comments. I'm not entirely sure myself of the Usenews protocol, but this would surely fall more into the area of libel as he has written and published his statements. If you felt the comments fell into that area in many legal domains you would have legal recourse. Oh, please. Assuming his statements are factually incorrect and defame your character. Of course they defame my character. Are you an idiot, that you think that calling someone a "liar and fraud" is not a defamation of character? You don't have to answer that. You do with every post. And of course talking about legalities is also idiotic. This is Usenet. You need to start debating again Rand rather than pathetically jerking your knee when people have the shear afrontary to disagree with some of your sacred cows. My what? You do _know_ what a "Sacred Cow" is don't you? The term is in the dictionary. Yes. My what? |

The Advanced Search Tag seems to work, I searched for Author: "Rand Simberg" in sci.space.policy between Jan 1980 and the present day. That got 17,000 hits. I then searched for all archieved sci.space.policy posts which were about 25,000 - so at least in terms of the stuff that has been stored, Rand is way ahead of the pack. I've been down under a couple of aliases but I've a few 1000 - I didn't search other people. Dave |

Don't be hysterical Rand. And I didn't "dodge" your point. I ignored it (which is to say, I gave it all the consideration it was due). No, I think it is more accurate that you've not actually done much in the way of commercial analysis using tools like S curves so you don't really grasp how the estimating system works. The reason I brought up the telco space is that the market sizing analysis that's done there is the same as Futron use. It's a pretty standard methodology, the fact you don't seem to be aware of this speaks volumes for your competence outside engineering, where, I assume you are reasonably competent. Dave |

You do _know_ what a "Sacred Cow" is don't you? The term is in the dictionary. Yes. My what? Your sacred cows - you've dozens of them. DO you want to play this game all day? I've spent the last few months doing a contract with a particularly anal north american company with what feels like more lawyers than engineers. In contrast you're light relief. I've missed how upset I seem to get you :-p Dave |

I've been down under a couple of aliases but I've a few 1000 - I didn't search other people. I used the same technique, but limitted it to 2005. Results 1 - 10 of 2,430 from Jan 1, 2005 to Dec 8, 2005 for group:sci.space.policy author:rand (0.05 seconds) Results 1 - 10 of 45,600 from Jan 1, 2005 to Dec 8, 2005 for group:sci.space.policy (0.39 seconds) While Rand does post rather a lot (without actually saying anything... just "you're wrong" one-liners), his posts do seem to be a small fraction of the total. Still a lot, though... Not sure how you only got 25K posts for 25 years worth of SSP. While 45K posts for one year is surprisignly large, 25K posts for 25 years is unbelievably small. Averages out to about 3 per day. Got 36 for you and 187 for me and 366 for Henry Spencer and 1170 for Chomko and 1400 for Flannery, if that makes any difference. |
