Wow. Have issues much? Maybe instead of a booster chair you should pay for some therapy there, lil fella. This post of yours illustrates exactly and clearly what I was talking about.
...are and have been for a long time my Sci-Fi authors of choice. I'm very much into hard-science Sci-Fi, and both of these gentleman have provided the necessary food for thought.
I'm glad Sir Clarke had a long, fruitful and enjoyable life. Still, he and all the novells he couldn't write, will be missed. Rest in peace, and continue to be curious, wherever you are.
Thanks for your reply. When I was a kid, I'd go visit my grandparents on my mother's side, who lived in a small town near farms. One of the neighbours had a mule and I remember I really liked that animal, though he(she?) didn't really do shit. It had something of a humility about it, and seemed docile enough.
There's a rampant discrimination against short men everywhere in the world as well as in the USA. The consequences are visible both at the workplace as well as in social situations and in everyday (non-social) life. No politician really cares to do anything to change this deep-rooted discrimination - one where you shouldn't mention it because "it's funny" or it makes you look bad. Since you are definitely a short person, will you do something about it? Or will you actually NOT do anything because it's a cause better fought for by the tall?
I read the 1st Wikipedia article, and according to that, it would seem, Mothra is the good guy almost always. I really don't care for Kaijus all that much, it's just that there's so little I know, I like to cling to it:D
I can't believe it completely myself - to be exact, I can't believe the degree people allow to be brainwashed. I have a few chinese colleagues at the uni, and it's extremely interesting that otherwise intelligent people believe things that a few minutes of autonomous research could easily dispel.
I see no new concept, and definitely not in supercomputer design. All I see an elaborate casemod with cooling. Not much system design went into that, I don't think. It's just a PC, a very normal one at that.
You can find a very detailed explanation here. Basically, questions like what is scientology, what is the e-meter, and last minute news about scientology, can be found there.

So let's imagine this scenario: you publish some code under the GPL. Someone modifies it, and because the original is GPL he/she must also publish his/her modifications (this previous step could be iterated several times by several developers, but one is enough for the example). Now if you try to revoke the GPL, you probably can't close the source for the modified code, because it involves other people's work now, not just yours. You don't have the right to take their work and use it in a closed-source project. IANAL and not a GPL knower, either, but if anything, you might have a chance to revoke the license for the original code you published, but the modified versions should remain in the open, as open.
It strongly depends on how "into it" the astrology-believing person is. If he/she is very much living and practising it, it will be a source of conflict. However, if it's just some kind of minor point of interest, it will probably NOT be the deal-breaker. There are/will be many more important issues that will need working on. Money, politics, religion, children and education, view on gender roles etc. those seem to make or break a marriage/romantic relationship much more often.
So we have more than just allegations of companies being bribed to take up membership and vote for OOXML. Those same new members are conspicuous absentees when it came to voting for other matters.
And now this? The stench of corruption is unbearable.
FUD. Phobos and Deimos are moons aka satellites of Mars It's amusing what is being labeled as "FUD" (that is, Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt) on Slashdot, sometimes. Like the OP wanted to instill "fear" or "uncertainty" in anyone here:)
"oh noez what if he's right and Phobos and Deimos really ARE evidence of THAT!!!!!!111"
Mod parent up! Got burned on eBay by a scumbag who only had retaliatory negative feedback to keep their ratings high - otherwise, their service (speed, packaging, state of item) was sub-par. For such sellers retaliation is the key ingredient to success.
It's sad, because I have met many VERY honest sellers on eBay, and they had about the same rating as the scumbag.
Yeah, those are the first to go, usually. The metatarsals, I mean:) Lucky he broke only one.
I almost had a similar accident while transporting my own Sony Trinitron TV set with a friend. It was so damn heavy and my fingers started to slip. I was up the stairs and it all became a bit too dangerous.... and the whole situation seemed so bizarre that I started to laugh hysterically and barely managed to contain myself.
Whatever you do, don't enlist someone who's drunk several cans of lager to help you carry it. My mate did just that and had a 32" Trinitron dropped on his foot moments later. If it wasn't for the concrete floor I think the telly would have continued toward the centre of the earth along with his foot. Thanks, this was hilarious. I am sorry for your friend - hope his foot recovered, though?

I am very much a city guy, so please forgive my ignorance: how are mules or asses in this respect, that is "maintenability" or shall I call it TCO?
BTW, I'm very much into cycling though I'm visually impaired. The part of my day is when I'm on my bike.

Anyway, did my modding there, now I have to wait.
I love your post. Esp. the title :D

I admit I am not schooled in kaijus, but I thought Mothra was the "good guy". When did it become a villain?

Or so I think, aniway.
It's a "dilemma" only if you look at your customers as cash cows and don't give a damn about their interests.
I wonder how come I have not seen this site mentioned in the higher modded posts. It's the most informative website about scientology.

...those who have cats arguably are NOT allergic to cat fur. So perhaps the same population is less likely to suffer from some form of heart disease.

Used in Stephen Baxter's excellent Sci-Fi novel Manifold: Space.
One of the best hard-science Sci-Fi books I've ever read.
Yeah. It's not like we're going to see it much longer before we also feel it.
