| | |  1985 - July: Paganism PornographyPaganism & Pornography
At times my political views seem to lead me into
contradictions. Last month saw me writing a furious letter to Penthouse
magazine concerning their misinformed story on Witchcraft. Within two weeks I
was writing to the head of the QuickTrip Corporation protesting the removal of Penthouse from their stores. You'd think I would
have been happy at a blow struck against a magazine that maligned my religion.
Not so. At stake is the free expression of ideas. Misinformation and censorship
are both threats to
that freedom. Of the two, I judge censorship to be the greater threat. As long
as publishing continues unimpeded, retraction of misinformation is possible.
When publishing is censored, even that becomes impossible.

| | | | 1985 - July: Encyclopedia II - Stephen Hawking - Losing an old bet Hawking was in the news in July 2004 for presenting a new theory about black holes which goes against his own long-held belief about their behaviour, thus losing a bet he made with Kip Thorne and John Preskill of Caltech. Classically, it can be shown that information crossing the event horizon of a black hole is lost to our universe, and that as a consequence all black holes are identical, beyond their mass, electrical charge and angular velocity (the "no hair theorem"). The problem with this theorem is that it implies the black hole will em ...

| | | | 1985 - July: Encyclopedia II - Iran-Iraq War - War of the Cities Toward the end of the war, the land conflict regressed into stalemate. Both Iraq and Iran lacked sufficient self-propelled artillery to support their respective armored forces in assaults. This was made even more important because neither side had the air force capability to support ground forces.
When the relatively professional Iraqi armed force advance was halted by the sheer size and committment of Iranian infantry and the Iranian infantry moved to advance itself; it faced the terrible prospect that the Iraqis had large numbers of ...

| | | | 1985 - July: Encyclopedia II - Sniper - Attitude towards snipers During World War II, captured snipers were often shot out-of-hand by their captors.
A commonly held view is that snipers must have a psychopathic or sociopathic personality in order to function efficiently. [citation needed] This view is not shared by military experts, as dysfunctional personalities are likely to be unreliable in high-stress combat situations. Most people will also agree that training a mentally ill person into a very highly trained covert killer is a bad idea both in peacetime and wartime (the sniper will be out on missions only a small perc ...

However, recent news reports suggest only $1m is being invested every year into research, much less than the $1bn needed for the development of a viable airliner.
In October 2005, JAXA, the Japan Aerospace eXploration Agency, undertook aerodynamic testing of a scale model of a plane designed to carry 300 passengers at Mach 2. If pursued to commercial deployment, it would be ...
