Fax Electronic signature Document Later

Warning: I Am Not An Expert In Anything.  I Am And Always Will Be A Student.My Payments Experience Is Completely And Utterly An Accident.  I know not how to say this in a few words but it may be an interesting journey to share with you.A Nerd, A Geek And The Dreams Of Being A ScientistIt was all an accident while I was on my way to becoming a scientist.  That dream got delayed. I was studying Quantum Physics and on the other end Astro Physics.  This started as a university level course while a sophomore in High School.  At the same time I was rather excited by electronics that start...

Q: How did Nasa go to the moon during first Apollo mission so early when even good communication and latest rocket spaceship technology were not available before 1980?Let me show you something:This is a facsimile machine (a fax machine) of roughly the sort my father used in his job with the Strategic Air Command during the 1960’s. It was an expensive, cumbersome piece of junk, and when introduced in the late 1940s, it required dedicated wiring between stations and had a range limited to 9 miles.Still, Western Union and the US government were all over it. It was a damn sight better than the system used in France starting in the 1840s which burned crude copies into paper using a heated, mechanically timed stylus, and until post-space program advances in computer technology made cheap consumer fax machines ubiquitous in the 1980s (and then obsolete a few years later) it was THE way to transmit orders, signatures, and other critical documents when time didn’t allow for a courier.This is how technology advances most of the time; a crude proof of concept opens the door, is picked up by deep-pockets patrons, and eventually helps drive the very innovations that lead to later, more practical versions of itself.A few examples:The Wright Brother’s Aeroplane was arguably better at killing people than transporting them, but it spawned the era of powered flight.Submersible boats have been built for military purposes at least since the American Revolution, even though until the dawn of the 20th century, the only power source available to them was human muscle. They weren’t practical enough to have much military significance, until advances in battery and internal combustion made the U-boats and other subs of the World Wars possible. Even these were absurdly uneconomical death traps, but they did the job and paved the way to today’s true submarines (both nuclear powered and otherwise).From the 1940’s, the military used radio positioning gear accurate to within a few yards—but which required troupes to carry, operate, and maintain about twenty heavy or unwieldy pieces of equipment in order to interface with a ground network of radio stations. This remained state-of-the-art for half a century until the first GPS satellite network went live.In the early days of electronic computing, data was stored using regenerative working memory cells (dynamic RAM) in which the data was carried in a sound waves propagating through a glass tube full of mercury. This was hugely expensive and impractical, but much, much faster than the spinning drums available at the time, and much more reliable than tube-based flip-flops. This early memory (and a number of equally bizarre alternatives) held sway until the advent of magnetic core memory, which was insanely complex given the hands-on fabrication methods of the day, but was even faster and more reliable, and so became near universal for about 20 years, until transistor-based memory build into integrated circuits finally dislodged it.Before spy satellites and planes were available, the US spied on Soviet territory by means of high altitude, unmanned balloons, an idea it got form a hair-brained Japanese scheme to bomb our mainland during WWII. The reconnaissance balloons had a very low success rate, but were considered invaluable to the government — half a century before Google Earth.This balloon program funded development of high quality surveillance cameras and film canister in-air retrieval techniques which were used by the first generation of US Spy satellites—ten years before the technology to build electronic cameras of any quality existed.Film captured from one of these balloons was carried to the moon by Luna 3, the USSR’s first lunar orbital probe, which used it to photograph the far side of the moon. To get the image back to Earth, the film was automatically developed in space, then scanned and sent back electronically—a half century before the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.I could go on at length. The point is, governments have the resources to make things work when they don’t—and when anyone with any money sense would give up.We often see questions to the effect “why has no one returned to the moon since the Apollo Program?” The answer is, because we got there by building everything needed, from scratch, under contract, at huge expense.In many ways, the Saturn V was the logical descendant of the German V2 (which was another hugely impractical government program that opened doors), but in many ways, it was the very bleeding edge. So much so, at one point, Boeing enlisted surf board makers to help them understand the composite materials needed to build tank bulkheads.I have said before that the moon landing may be the greatest of all human achievements specifically because we got so little from it of immediate, concrete value. It was, in a real sense, the Great Pyramid of modern times.But like the pyramids, it required an unsustainable investment of time, blood, and treasure. The pause and backtracking into low Earth orbit that followed was a tacit acknowledgement that in a real sense, we had gone too far too fast.Only now had our technology started to catch up with our dreams. Only now can multiple private enterprises rival governments and government monopolies for space attainment and start to consider real, meaningful advances beyond the “one giant leap for mankind.”It may be centuries yet before we span the equivalent of the gulf between the pyramids and the Manhattan skyline, between Roman Baths and modern central heating, between the aquaducts and Hoover Dam, but we are now taking the first steps toward the privatization and commercialization of space. We are witnessing an era that will have as much history impact as the great age of European exploration, but without the smallpox and the genocide.In this respect at least, it’s a fine time to be alive.If you like science, you might like my free award-winning scifi sampler.

I've been at signNow since the very beginning of Acrobat. I think there were several factors that lead to the success of PDF. First, we published the specification, that allowed governments to adopt it knowing that companies other than signNow would be able to create and read the file format long into the future, later PDF was adopted by the ISO which solidified it's future as an open standard.Next was our ability to respond reasonably quickly to market demands. The earliest versions couldn't be used for commercial printing but the market forced us to add that functionality and now we have standards like PDF/X. Enterprises recognized how great PDF files would be if it could have fillable fields and behave like a paper form. We added digital signatures so that electronic approvals could happen as well as commenting tools. These are just a few examples.Also, we kept Acrobat around long enough for the market to catch up. It took a long time for people to give up their fax machines and use of scanned TIFF files but eventually PDF became accepted as THE way to share final form documents. With the emergence of slate devices, the paper metaphor used by PDF along with it's support for multi-media makes it an ideal format for these devices.Finally - Our history with PostScript helped us to understand what "precision" means and how important it is to the customers who require it. When you promise document fidelity, anything less than 100% is unacceptable. We understood that long before we even started thinking about the PDF specification. It's in signNow's DNA. I have the original Acrobat 1.0 help file, in PDF of course, and it displays perfectly in Acrobat X more than 15 years and several industry revolutions later. Try that with an old .doc file.

According to the Boston Herald, Logan did not have security cameras in the boarding area. See the article "Logan Lacks Video Cameras" Boston Herald 9/29/01 by Doug Hanchett and Robin WashingtonA video recording that purported to be that of the boarding area at Dulles has been released. The person who is alleged to be Hani Hanjour doesn’t look like him, and some people claim that the shadows on the floor are inconsistent with the time of day that the alleged hjijackers allegedly boarded flight 77. There are no time stamps on the video.Critics also point out that the recording is consistent with those made on consumer video cameras, while security cameras of the day normally shot one frame per second.http://www.consensus911.org/poin...I’ve answered a similar question here:Brian Good's answer to Are there any images/footage of the 19 hijackers of 9/11 walking through Logan, Newark and DC airports/boarding their infamous flights?
