...or the ground could be sinking because of all those buildings we've put there. (And of course the fat people inside them.) You know, like all those skyscrapers in NYC?
That means dramatically less fuel on board, because unlike typical Mars voyage plans, there would be no need (or ability) to carry the mechanism or the energy storage to return to Earth
So what are you saying, it should have been turned into a "Steve Jobs Lived Here" museum with nobody living there forever after? People live in houses that other people used to live in all the time.
Don't blame me, I hit -1 slownewsday in the firehose. Now that I'm awake, maybe I should've hit -1 stupid.
By concentrating on sound effects, music, and visual effects, they're doing exactly what Hollywood has been doing for years: flashy crap triumphing over the substance of good writing.
Or you could just disable it in the BIOS configuration.
...unless you're talking about an ARM system, in which case, you're fucked, because it won't run your BIOS flasher because it (the flasher and the BIOS image) isn't signed, and you can't disable secure boot because MS doesn't want you to.
Because 50 years ago, the big thing was the Cold War, and how to deliver nukes. If you could launch a manned rocket to orbit, you could launch one with a nuclear warhead, too. (This is why people aren't too happy about what North Korea has been doing.) The moon was just one-upping the Russians getting the first satellite and first man in orbit, and following through with it. It wasn't just the US that gave up on the moon after that; the Russians gave up on it, too.
As for now, I guess it's just a way for "journalists" to feel like they're justifying their existence.
Hell, perhaps the moon even has some valuable ores itself.
Perhaps? So we should send humans to the moon on a "perhaps"? Let's get some robotic missions up there first to look around. If we can do that on mars with the 15+ minute round trip time, we can certainly do it on the moon.
Until then, it's just a gravity well with useless rocks, nasty dust, and a little bit of water that's only useful to manned bases. LEO/L4/L5 is a much better place for a base of operations.
I knew that FunnyJunk was basically the new ebaumsworld
Thank you. I had never heard of it before, and now I understand why. And I had only heard of 9fag because they tried to worm their way around 4chan a few months ago.
Sorry, I've had Macs since a 128K in 1985, and seen a lot of them. I even had a 4400, the worst Mac ever built, some of the 81xx series where you have to remove the motherboard to add RAM, and some of the pokey 61xx series, with that wonderful special (as in education) video adapter cable that usually developed at least one broken wire from flexing. The second best Mac I ever had was a IIci, and the third was a Power Tower Pro.
But I'd have to say the G4 MDD (the dual-CPU USB 1.1 version) is probably the best Mac ever. Easy open flip down side door, four hard drive bays, two optical drive bays, four 64-bit PCI slots, runs 9.2 to (I think) 10.5. I've had one for at least eight years now, using it as a mostly-unattended file server and to run a Bit Torrent client on a non-NAT IP address. I've got a Firewire card in there so that external hard drives can have their own channel, and a SATA card. The FSB speed sucks because Motorola didn't care, but its DMA I/O kicks ass. And it was good enough that Apple kept selling the 1GHz model for another couple of years for people who were stuck on 9.2.
Mine had been randomly freezing the past few months, then a couple of weeks ago it finally refused to run for more than a minute or two before hitting an obvious thermal shutdown. Turns out that the heat sink is held in place by 4 phillips screws, easily accessible with the computer still on the floor. I cleaned away the clay-like crap that pretended to be thermal compound, spread on new white thermal compound, closed it up, and it worked. I was surprised how easy that was.
I even have a spare power supply because of the furor over the original power supply being noisy. When Apple finally shipped the replacements out, they decided it wasn't worth the cost to have everyone ship the old one back. And now these things under $200 used.
Now push the little soap bar thingy up to make the arrow go over your name at the top of the screen, and click on Options.
What, you're an AC? Bad, baaaaad, AC.
But assuming you were smart enough to click on the "Post Anonymously" button, but too stupid to find the topic exclusion setting, now click on the "Exclusions" tab. Move the shiny scroll bar to the middle and click on "Idle". Then click on the cuddly little "Save" button. What a good AC you are!
And if you don't have an account, then either STFU and create one, or just simply STFU.
No, it was just that antenna TV was so crappy, in terms of signal quality. (Cue jokes about "the brightness knob doesn't work, it's still stupid!") Now the digital picture is great if you're 10-60 miles from the transmitter.
WTF did Apple do to XCode's Find/Replace in the past couple of years? That in-window pane thing that steals focus all the time is absolutely horrid! And that flashing color thing on the found text is really distracting, too.
For me, the best example of how crappy the Notes interface is was a time when I had to use it back in the late '90s. I accidentally bumped my hand against the numeric keypad and deleted a local mail archive. The "." key (with Num Lock off because I was still using DOS) did a Delete command on the currently selected icon, and the Enter key next to it confirmed the delete. Also, it didn't just delete the database file containing the mail. First, it overwrote the header to delete all records, and then it deleted the file, rendering an un-erase useless. Thanks, Bloats! Fortunately I didn't really need what was in that file.
And I had to use Bloats again for a few months in 2008 or so. The UI was generally no more better, except now it had some HTML stuff grafted into it.
6. If he is tired, or sick, she wants to be pampered.
7. If he is is stressed, she wants assistance
8. If he is trying to get some actual work done, she just wants someone to listen to her
9. If he is feeling tired or lonely, she wants to be gushed over.
10. If he is crying over the monthly bills, she wants to go shopping. Sometimes, she doesn't even know why she wants to go shopping. In those cases, just leave her alone till she's done.

Is it still too late to name this "The B Ark"?

Because there's no other way to do a return flight than to return on the same rocket you arrived on.

You forgot to mention floods, like what happened in Thailand last year, and could possibly happen again this year.

There is no hotels in space.

And just look how much money Microsoft has saved them... now they don't have to pay for those 10,000 workers!
Um, woosh? The point of creating an account is so that you can use the filters?

It's possibly the best reason ever to secede.
For what it's worth, it appears that there was a minimum length of 3 characters for this fools-gold rush.
It's an idle story.

With all the talk these days about low-sodium diets, they just wanted to provide their users with a healthy alternative.
The UN is no longer the bastion of freedom it never was anyhow.
UN-crats and Eurocrats are not held in check by the mandate of their voters
We* vote for UN-crats? I must have missed that bit when I was at the ballot box.
*for any value of "we" that consists of regular citizens, but in my case US citizens
Maybe cheesecake with cheese sauce would be a better analogy. They're both cheese, right? So it's got to be good!
