Because it's further away, colder and there's less gravity. Ceres formed past the solar system's frost line. More volatile gases are frozen there than Mars. Things like water, methane, ammonia. We can use methane as fuel, drink water, and brake down water and ammonia to make air from the Nitrogen and Oxygen. That way, we also make Hydrogen for fuel. We may even find carbon dioxide to make hydrocarbons. Much easier to extract than they would be on Mars.
How is the "new" math they are trying to teach different from the "New Math" I learned. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N... My parents were ranting and raving with the rest of the parents that they changed everything and they can't help with it and kids won't be able to succeed in college. This was during the 60's and 70's. It's the same math, just a different way of looking at it. In many ways, the current "new" math is closer to how math really works. When Pythagoras squared a number, he literally drew a square, not multiplied it by itself to raise it to the power of two.
Parents can't help with homework? I took trig, calculus, physics, chemistry and biology in high school. My parents couldn't help me with any of it. You can't limit teaching to what your parents know. The world won't progress.
Right. An example of that is the modern use of "Good Samaritan." We call strangers helping out as good Samaritans. We even have "Good Samaritan" laws. Good Samaritan are not strangers. If you read the parable, two other strangers passed him by. Samaritans and Jews were enemies. This would be like an injured American being helped by a Taliban. People have lost the understanding of what a Samaritan was. It makes it very hard to create a readable Bible when you lose the knowledge of what the word refers to.
The bible is written that way because it is trying to translate Ancient Hebrew and Ancient Greek. You can make a readable translation or an accurate translation to English, but not both.
They are already building the system to make sure your luggage gets lost at least half the time. Sorry, it looks like your bag was accidently put on the 7:05 flight to Venus.
Space is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts compared to space.
BSD ran on a Vax machine and HP 9000. Minux was written for 80286 architecture. The port for the 386 was still in development and burdened by lawsuits. How could you run this on an 80386 like Linus did?

Or try WordStar. That will never go out of support.
We carve 16 bit Unicode into stone slabs for long term backup storage.
Shh... Mods are asleep, post Ponies!
Does it pass the Turing test?

I used to have FIDONET and BITNET ids, but forgot them long ago and far away.
If this is water ice, we need to send a rover to Ceres. This may end up being a better place to land astronauts than Mars.
So my CompuServe email address shows that I am old?
Yea, we need some really good liberals, like Stalin.

The best sarcasm requires good research. The Onion actually did a good job of presenting the major issues, even if its intent is to entertain.

I should author a Wikipedia article on this subject.

386BSD wasn't available until 1992. Since Linus was making an OS to run on the 80386, he started his own in 1991.
