Damn right, when the news came that it was over for Phoenix I got all depressed. The poor lander all alone out there, a million miles away from home. And I don't even work at NASA.
I have a problem the same way I have a problem with someone stealing for booze. or getting drunk and driving over someone, or going on a murderous rampage while drunk. All of which happen far more often then the crackhead equivalents.
I also have a giant high quality IBM CRT lying around, I use a nice LG LCD most of the time these days. The picture qualitys slightly lower and the colors shift rather dramatically off-axis but it weight only about 5 lbs rather the the desk crushing 80lbs on the IBM.
Yes but then you end up with a very rapidly aging population (like China does) which means a shrinking working base supporting a growing elderly base. Probably the most effective solution would be a yearly "birth" license, get one and you get to have a child don't get one and no kid for you. Perhaps cold and uncaring but also effective and allows you to carefully control your population growth.
3 if you count FarCry which was developed by Crytek but published by Ubisoft rather then EA. It's also worth pointing out that IMHO FarCry was the better game.
I dunno, the actual technology seems really simple. But on the other hand it is rather innovative and I'ce never seen it before. Anyways it's a hell of alot more deserving then alot of the other patents that get handed out these days.
Mod this dude up, the article has it totally wrong. Google is just supporting OpenID 2.0 which happens to be incompatible with OpenID 1.0. It's also worth mentioning that 2.0 was developed by the OpenID group and not Google (unlike some Microsoft 2.0s)
Well the alternative before the DMCA safe harbour is that sites like Youtube would be held accountable for every single copyright violation on them. Think about that for a moment before you go calling someone a moron. The DMCA is far from perfect but, as was previously stated, is better then nothing for certain cases.
And I want a pony, doesn't mean I'm gonna get it though. The reason your dream, as wondersoem as it is, will never happen is becuase of money. Infrastructure doesn't just grow out of the ground, it costa money lots of it. And carriers have to first invest in infrastucture and then the profit follow, so you better beleive they are going to fight tooth and nail for every square inch of it that the ycan get. The only way your dream will ever happen is if the governments go back to heavily subsidizing and regulating the industry in an open and fair way. But of course that wont happen because that's communism, unless it fattens the wallet of a politician in whcih case it becomes "helping the consumer." Either way, no telcom dream for you, and no pony for me.
The name Duct Tape Jedi seems rather appropriate given the topic of maintaining old equipment. Also I beleive you forgot a reference to one of the following: A) Obama = Osama B) Dog Penis C) Footbal player by-product.
What exactly can a satellite do in the 5 seconds between when the laser is turned on and when it is done burning a hole through the satellite?
I dunno, maybe move? Asides from geosynchronous satelites (Which albeit are a sizable portion them) they are moving relative to earth, often quiet rapidly so, and you know have to take this very thin laser beam and hit this very small object and hold it there for a few seconds to do soem damage, to futher compound the problem the satelite could be setup to spin everything that doesn't need to be stationary, use a mesh for an antenna, and have a certain redundancy in the solar panels or use an RTG/Reactor. Leaving an even smaller target to actually be picked on. I can't see any laser based anti satelite weaponry being feasible in the near future, missiles are definetly the way to go.
No. Solar panels are black and therefore do not reflect any sunlight therefore any energy not converted into electricity is converted to heat. And any electricity produced will sooner or later find itself converted to heat unless it is used to lift something up and keep it there.
Sure, why shouldn't it? It requires time from a programmer to produce it, it's definetly work and it makes it easier to maintain and update the code which results in better code. I see no reason not to include documentation and comments in most SLOC counts.
Well! FOR.GIVE.ME for not having read your previous one sentence interpretaion of an article based on someones opinion of a piece of literature which was authored based on a decades old view of technology. We should all now proceed to read all of AnyoneEBs comments and be enlightened by his genius insights into our world.
Another way is to convince other people to agree with you. This is a much stronger power, because as a democracy, the government tends to follow the will of the people.
*snerk* ahahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Okay deepbreath... one second here... no wait.. HAHAHAHAHA. Goddamn which country did you live in again? USA? Listens to the people? Goddamnit you have a retarded leader that you didn't even vote for and a government taken out to dinner by big buisness. And you think they give a flying FUCK what you think? They couldnt give a goddamn shit what you think or anybody else asides fromm the person holding the checkbook thinks.

Wheel of Time Mod me +1 bijillion insightful because I posted a wiki link.
But seriously, would it have killed the poster to have added a Wikipedia link to the Wheel of Time article?
With the way physics is goign these days, being able to determine that something is in space means you are doing pretty damn good for yourself.
Yes, except this time rahter then being in a wrist brace you'll be in a full body cast. It's the future baby! Yeahh!
AFAIK Men in pornos don't get paid, or at least not as much unless they can put up a hell of a performance.
*Silence*
Becuase a *Whoosh* in space can't make a sound.

Hos is enhancing photos the buisness of professional equipment and lighting? That can be done with a few lenses, a cheap pen light and some cardboard.
Hey so did I, buty of course I didn't bring a PC, laptop, cellphone, watch or anything more complex then my 20 year old camping backpack.
Yes well inside computers, billions of event occur every second. Hell something as insignificant as a cache miss is a one in a million event.

You Americans, your naievity is so damn cute.
Can't see the forest through the trees eh?
Sure it is, it's a subnet of the /0 network.
