  1. Re:My, my, my. on Blue Origin Launches Its First Test Flight of 2018 (mashable.com) · · Score: 1

    Why? Because VG is collectively shitting themselves right now. They're probably all over the forums spreading FUD. They were hoping for more time to spin their other operations from VG before quietly winding it down. They know their ridiculous little "space" plane will never work (at least not reliably) but they want to ride the gravy train as long as possible. Space Ship 1 was a dead end and everyone knows it. That design should have been left to rest in peace instead of trying to resurrect it.

    Judging by the language it looks like Virgin Galactic is outsourcing their online trolls.

    Maybe somebody just lost a sub on the floor of the Pacific. If the Chinese suddenly break out a refurbished Glomar Explorer soon that will be our answer.

  5. I've read something like this before... on Apple's New Spaceship Campus Has One Flaw -- and It Hurts (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    It remind me of the book "We" by Yevgeny Zamyatin. It is a dystopian story about a totalitarian state where all of the architecture was glass so everyone could see what everyone else was doing as one way to enforce conformity. It was a society with no concept of privacy or individuality. So far the predictions of the dystopian stories like We and 1984 are coming true without government coercion.

  6. The "survey" is a personality test! on Ask Slashdot: What Kind of Societies Will the First Mars Colonies Be? · · Score: 1

    I know it's verboten to actually RTFA around here, but if anyone had you would have noticed that the "survey" that OP links to is really a personality test. Stealth Scientology recruiting?

    The best part about the Scottish mafia is that they don't need to worry about anyone ratting them out. If someone tries to squeal, nobody could understand WTF they're saying!

    Shareblue is really working overtime lately. Are they still paying you per post? I would think you would at least use sock puppet accounts instead of posting AC to gain visibility.

    Well Musk really needs to start reading the comments section here. Space factories and asteroid dust are important components for interplanetary spaceships.

    What if he reads the comments here and converts to islam instead?

    He's not illiterate, he's just a shill. He's probably involved in some kind of similar criminal activity himself. Honor among thieves, or something like that.

    Fuck off Ivan. The summary explains quite clearly what happened, and everyone here sees you for the shill you are. How long will it be before we read about your shenanigans here? You obviously have some reason to defend this criminal.

    You could also extend your advertising beyond the gig section of craigslist, and don't make the postings look like a MLM scheme. Another tip: If you do get a qualified American applicant, don't chase him away with bogus stories about criminal activity.

  15. Some of us deplored government overreach under the previous administration, and still deplore it under the current administration.

    The difference is that now you're willing to speak about it publicly.

    In nulcear engineering they are also called "thermal" neutrons because they have about the same kinetic energy as the surrounding material (thermal energy). Basically just neutrons that move too slow to easily pass out of the material they are formed in without reacting. They are the same neutrons that a fission chain reaction depends on in a reactor.

    Here's an idea. If enough of us bought a single share of MSFT, then file a shareholder lawsuit arguing that this will kill the company long term, it would at least cause a big PR problem for them. Most people never hear the details of this stuff because it only gets covered in the tech news, but a lawsuit like this would make the mainstream news. It might even cause enough of a headache for MSFT to get them to back off on some of it.

    Not to mention Trump supporters committing voter fraud.

    The story mentions 3 voter fraud suspects, but only gives details for one. I wonder if the other 2 were Shillary supporters. I guess voter fraud only news worthy if it's done by Republicans.

  24. Huh? I guess I missed him in the debates. You just proved my point with your non sequitor.

  25. Yes, Trump is a monster. Specifically, he is the Boogie Man, who we make up stories about to scare little children. Let's just avoid talking about the alternative, shall we?
