Oh this is so cool...

Atomic powered planes

Let the ignorant screaming and protests begin.

Hint: it's not fission, it's not fusion, it uses an X-ray machine of about the same power as you find in a dentist's office, there is no chain reaction possibility, it is instant-on/instant-off, the fuel has a half-life of 31 years, and is considered low-dose in industrial settings. To top it all off, it's run by a small solar cell.

But I can't wait for the whinging to start over this one if it moves forward... I mean, after all, it has the word 'nuclear' somewhere in it, so it *MUST* be evil and bad and deadly and awful for everyone for years and years... :P

Now this is interesting...

Getting closer on that C++ conversion tool.

First step: getting C conversion working, which has actually turned out to be the hardest part. It looks like it is mostly working though, with some cleanup to go.

Which means that I can convert C to OO, automatically, and retain all of the proper scoping issues that people use to fake OO approaches. It also means that slapping a little cohesion/coupling analysis on this should result in a way of converting C code to *meaningful* OO, more or less automatically. And that analysis is pretty simple to do once it is in the form I'm converting it to.

Anyone interested? :)
