I came to post this exact thought. It's all the ice piled up above the water-line we need to worry about. Greenland and the Antarcticshould a big slide happen, well, we'll have a bit more water in the oceans. (I was going to say something more snarky but it's not needed, is it?)
"When the astronauts get out and begin their work, they can flip a switch to turn the vehicle into an autonomous robot that goes off to undertake projects on the planet." Hopefully, not the kind of projects which might leave the astronauts stranded.
If given a music CD, what would be the first thing you'd do with it? Play it or burn it? (Or give it back with an apology of "this is not a format I support any more"?)
I agree. Climate change, in general, has many socio-political effects...right up the CIA's alley. I'm not sure if this is still the case, but at one time they employed more economists than field agents.
I highly doubt that "engine" in the photo in the article is real. It looks like some sort of industrial fluid control device onto which they painted the radiation symbol. Or maybe some sci-fi set piece they bought off of a Hollywood back lot.
This was covered in Car & Driver a couple months ago (before it passed.) At the time, I seem to recall it was only going to be required for dark-colored cars. Or was it that dark-colored cars were also going to be banned or surcharged? (Damn, it sucks to get old and have an afternoon vodka-drinking habit.)
After reading the headline, I thought China was doing harm to my favorite book publisher. "How could they be a threat to China?" I wondered. "Sure some of their books are thought-provoking, but really!"
Yes, it's shocking they're not dealing with the main problem: shrubberies. Or rabbits with an appetite. Clearly the Swedish government needs to either, (a) rip all the greenery from the Stockholm parks and public areas in a preemptive strike (resulting in lots of starved rabbit carcasses for fuel) or, (b) set up a research program to develop rabbits which don't eat. I think it's obvious which would be best and benefit all mankind...but will they have the nerve?
I presume these scientists put these spiders in while I was sleeping. Or are they responsible for the Alfa Romeo Spider in my garage? This might just be a big "Three's Company" misunderstanding!
There's an aerial photo section which is kind of creepy. It depicts outbreaks of the stuff which occur as circles dotting the landscape. It really does resemble an alien invasion. cogongrass.org
Yup. We should just stay home and read Kim Stanley Robinson's "Red Mars" series. It's way more interesting than the reality of this mission could ever be.
Hey now...Alfa's electronics aren't that bad! I'd rather see them do the design in "The Best Space programme", though...Italians are excellent industrial designers and have way more aeronautical experience than Apple.

...a repeat from 1992.
Hocus Pocus "Microsecond Arbitrage" - traders must not read good fiction.
Are the iPhone backs made of glass too? (Description says "back".)

Parents are gonna LOVE that! LEGO is now consorting with Satan?
...if I put that in the living room! Also...most rack-mounted servers loud and heavy. They would likely break loose from those wooden legs.
I always thought it all boils down to simple arithmetic. Add, subtract, bit shifts...etc.

...Neal Stephenson a trip. Does the site contain any papers about the benefits of drinking mercury?
...that I had the money and time to mount a posse of albino hunter hunters. Killing would be too good for these hunters.
...can't be too far off. Let's hope he isn't right about the Invaders.

Just the stuff I want to read over breakfast.
Now we'll have to cope with people throwing their iPhones around. No straps to tether them to your wrist.

They're built here in Marietta. Bad news in a tough economy.
