I was told in grad school that we were going to run out of IP4 addresses in 2 years. That was in 1993.
And that was true... in 1993. That was when people realized that classful routing, for which addresses could only be divided up in chunks of 256, 65536, or 16 million, was the problem: Classless Inter-Domain Routing
Also, video games are easier to convert to a different game if they get stale, since most of them used joysticks and NTSC scan rate video. It can be as simple as new marquees with a ROM swap or a new JAMMA-compliant mainboard.
I don't know enough about pins to know if they kept to similar board layouts to allow easier conversions, but there's nothing keeping the positions of all those mechanical switches and solenoids in the same place, and you might have to trash everything but the frame and score wheels for a conversion.
The two weeks isn't the problem, that's just a matter of cheap consumables and toilet capacity.
Getting on orbit is the tough part, and getting home is the second tough part, because you have to reach orbital speeds to stay up there, then you have to slow down to go home, which either needs good heat shields, or takes a lot of retro rocket energy (which I'm not aware of anyone having tried because heat shields are more efficient than bringing up more fuel).
The SS2 is a sub-orbital, which means it can (almost) reach orbital altitude, but doesn't have enough momentum to stay there for more than a few minutes. It's not moving at orbital speeds, so it doesn't need heat shields to re-enter the atmosphere.
They may be better off working with SpaceX and Bigelow, or even Sierra Nevada, but I wouldn't mind seeing yet another orbital crew capable vehicle added to the diversity of technology that is already happening.
Why would you even need it to return unless there are humans aboard? Especially to the ISS, of all places, where a mistake in approach or docking could trash the station. Too much focus on "reuse" is what made the Shuttle so flawed.
It has been nearly 45 years since we first went to the Moon.
We only went there because of a super stretch effort that went to the limits of our technology and budgets. It was an anomaly in the progression of space exploration, and the extreme effort involved probably even set us back by a couple of decades. We are currently on a more normal progression of space exploration, with the possible exception that we (the western world, as opposed to the Chinese) may bypass the moon this time around because we've already been there and it's not really very interesting.
Actually, I'm surprised that we've sent hardly any robotic missions to the moon in the past 45 years. There's a lot less need for humans when communication delays are only a few seconds, and maybe we could find out something interesting enough to want to go back there.
Isn't it funny that no matter what you do to secure your computer usage, the weakest link is always the ID10T sitting between the chair and keyboard. You can talk about "cyber warfare" all you want, but in reality, it all comes down to P.T. Barnum tricks.
identified two dark-skinned and bag-carrying suspects
Who were, in fact, NOT the actual perps. Blue Jacket Guy in particular had a bad day yesterday because of this. A newspaper (NY Post?) is in trouble for a front page spread of the 4chan suspects. And that's the wrong White Hat Guy. Still no explanation of why there were guys with Punisher logo caps on, though.
Also, as someone said above, "Why don't you complain about the news reporters that 'were hoping the perpetrators were white'?"
if enough stations do this we could sell all that useful TV bandwidth to cell phone companies to charge people money for more mobile internet.
FTFY, because that's what would happen to that bandwidth. The UHF TV bands are some of the best frequencies for cellular access. The VHF they would probably throw as a bone to "emergency services".
And he quite probably feels the same way. I recently had a kidney tumor found on a CT scan when I had a kidney stone on the other side. Less than a month later and one kidney less, I should now be cancer-free. (It was pre-symptomatic, so it hadn't had time to spread, though I have yet to hear biopsy results.)
It's been quite a mood whiplash, but overall I am happy that I can keep being creative.
That's what surprises me most, especially with America's free speech stuff.
You've hit one of my hot buttons there. That "free speech stuff" is all about keeping the government from telling you what you can and can't say. The US Constitution was significantly influenced by how England, and especially George III, was abusing us at the time.
That "free speech stuff" has absolutely zero to do with being able to say stupid things with impunity from non-governmental entities like your employer.
Use a launcher. But for what it's worth, the official OS X launcher has never worked for me. So I use a shell script to run the Linux launcher. I used to have a lot of problems running Minecraft until I did this. Create a text file named "mc" with the following and do what the comments say.
#!/bin/sh
# Minecraft startup for OS X
# download Minecraft.jar for Linux and put this in the same folder with it
# chmod +x this script and drag it into the document side of your Dock
cd "`dirname "$0"`"
java -Xmx1024M -Xms512M -cp Minecraft.jar net.minecraft.LauncherFrame >/dev/null 2>/dev/null &
This. One site that I have never felt the need to block ads on is 4chan. And doing a quick check, I see that they are serving their ads from an in-domain server. They don't waggle at me. They don't shout at me. In fact, they sort of grow on you after a while because they really don't have too many different advertisers.
Except all you're doing is shaming people into re-enabling those annoying ads. When I use adblock, I block the ad site itself for being the source of the annoying crap. If they don't have ads that annoy me, then I won't take the effort to block them.
Remember the good old days when stuff was "sponsored by" companies?
Now they don't care about anything else but getting in your face and screaming and shaking at you. And if that wasn't bad enough, even the sites themselves are using annoying sidebar headline rotators and pop-outs.
The sun sets too early in the eastern half (near the 'leading edge') of each time zone.
I've got to agree with this. I've lived most my life at around -98 longitude (middle CST). For one year I lived at around -93 longitude (eastern CST). Holy crap did the sun ever come up early.
Also, it's the fall time change I hate the most because it's harder for me to wake up later than to wake up earlier.

Unfortunately, we still lost a few years worth of addresses from all the Class A blocks that were handed out. Because of course Ford Motor Company needs 16 million IP addresses.
Of course it's distinguishable. Gravity has no elevator music.

I'm sure that an active cooling system wouldn't have been vibration-free either. Telescopes don't work so well when you keep bumping them around.

White Hat Guy had a page on vkontakt (aka the "Russian Facebook") where his profile said "Islam". So I'm pretty certain, at least.

Are pressure cookers used in the production of ricin from castor beans? Because when pressure cookers are outlawed, only outlaws will pressure cook!
Don't you mean "RedundAAncy?"
It's a sAAd day for AA.

Maybe it makes toilet tissue. Now if you get surprised to find no more rolls on the shelf, you can just print one for an emergency wipe!

Oh yeah, well mine's on 128.212.42.13! I'm not hiding my octets, just go ahead and try to hack me!

The hell with that. Sites like that get a total domain name block from me.
