Surely that would be hexadecimate? The prefix hex usually refers to six as in chemistry, unfortunately it's been usurped by people to lazy to say hexadecimal.
"Player 1, move the joystick to the left. Move the joystick to the right. Press the jump button. Press the fire button."
You're a genius! Mame needs something like this to stop the inevitable hell of raking it out when drunk then having to spend 15 minutes setting the controllers because this time player 2 want to use the wiimote instead of the arcade stick... Of course you'd have to know for each game what "jump" or "fire" actually was, which is probably another nightmare.
It's probably true that Apple has a near monopoly on the early adopter spendoids.
Anooyingly you've just made me realise the rather obvious problem that I am currently looking at replacing my iphone with a Droid and I'm going to lose all the apps that I have paid for....
I used Dreamhost for something similar to the requesters needs, but was informed that the 500GB did not include the storage of any "media"files and had to move to another provider at pretty short notice. Would not recommend!
People on Slashdot keep insisting that it works great! All they have to do is wait forever to wait for it to load and be very careful where they click and it hardly ever crashes, why would they ever discontinue it?
And of course they can never understand the effect of the model itself on the future, I think I'll call this the "Biff Tannen problem" why was his Almanac still accurate when logically the effect of huge accurate bets from him would have changed the odds and likely the results of the sporting odds he was betting on eventually?

Your whole point seems to be "If science fiction becomes science fact then..." Everyone loves the idea of space travel, it's romantic and exciting. But I agree with the author that there is a significant vocal minority who seem to believe that it's a panacea for the problems currently facing humanity, and the fact of the matter is he is absolutely right!
You say getting into space is a solved problem, but I think you're overstating it slightly there, realistically we're not at the "Columbus sailing for the Americas" stage of space travel, we're at "Ugg tied some sticks together and got to the island over there without drowning" stage. You mention Australia seemingly forgetting it was already colonised by a society 40,000 years previously.
I don't want to diminish the idea of space travel any, but I do agree with the author's point that it is absurd to point to it as some kind of hope for humanity in the short-medium term as some slashdotters seem keen to do, I'd bet they are the same ones who keep telling everyone to be a libertarian but then can't decide what it is.
Actually, that's pretty easy. About 10% of the asteroids in the belt between here and Mars are mostly metal. The materials are already in space. The problem is not a lack of material or a lack of energy.
I know it's against standard policy but did you RTFA? He addresses this pointing out that the asteroids are so widely distributed it's likely it would take more energy to collect them than they would produce in their lifetime. Especialyl if you're dragging them back to your imaginary giant space refinery (let's call it "the Nostromo")...

On Soviet Slashdot old jokes get you?
DO you actually have time to make any files worth hiding while carrying on that level of subterfuge?
I bought a USB bluetooth adapter for something like 0.75p recently (about $1) including postage! They can't be gouging that much....
Shhh! Stop giving HP ideas!!

but reliably at 132kV? It aint easy, cheap and certainly neither if you want efficiency.
Nothing that involves large amounts of power at 123 kV is cheap.
You've already made your first mistake and blown up your first test unit!
Maybe you should jump the gun and publish all yours now too?

Nations that produce crazed bombers shouldn't be allowed any access to Global organisations like the UN.

Those aren't real denialists like the GP, he has said all along that the problem was $CurrentTalkingPoint.
You'd probably ask McDonalds where to get the best steak.

Why pay the Microsoft tax once when you pay it twice?
I guess not being able to access your emails keeps them pretty secure.
It was a Sony conspiracy/early attempt at DRM. (doffs tinfoil hat)
