I did. Just now. And if I get a whiff that they are supporting this nonsense, I'll do it again and convince friends and family to join me. Mikulski brought home the bacon and made NASA Goddard a good place for my pop to work for thirty years... but this is more important.
A google search for spacex shirt leads to thespaceshop.com in the second hit, from which one click leads to their entire selection of Spacex merch: http://www.thespaceshop.com/spacex.html. They look pretty legit to me.
Hear, hear. I was with VM between '06 and '11, and I'd be happily still with 'em if my office hadn't given me an iPhone to which I forward my google-voice-ported personal number.
Their phones are a generation or two behind the new hotness but if it's $$ from my own pocket, they were more than adequate (especially when grandfathered into their $25/mo voice-and-data plan).
I was fortunate to see Tennant and Tate in Much Ado About Nothing in London last year.
There was no lack of chemistry. Felt like they had far more fun on stage than they ever did on television.
I sure don't. My comment was just as much an excuse to post that video as to contribute relevant discourse. But I put in a number of years in the bicycle industry. The better component manufacturers also do things for the aerospace industry; conditions fluctuating between sea level and a few dozen thousand feet probably do a number on equipment as well. The stuff is also likely a mite simpler and easier to re-engineer (if necessary) than a gas analyzer shed.
Have a look at some of the photos that Hanebrink has posted. Seems to me like they know a thing or two about testing. It's in a wind tunnel, presumably a refrigerated one.
If I had to guess, I'd figure the trickiest bit would be coming up with chain lube and bearing grease that weren't completely useless... and replacing a broken chain while wearing heavily insulated gloves.
Seriously, ftg. His fifteen minutes are up. He deserves nothing more than to be ignored and live in perpetual ignominy until somebody requires a textbook example of how not to treat anybody.
I was with Virgin Mobile for five years, but initiated the process to port my number to Google yesterday due to my office now providing me with an iPhone. Wife is going to drop her Verizon dumbphone Real Soon Now in favor of a VM plan and Android phone.
If VM could step it up on the phone side of things (and this hot Motorola they offer now is moving in the right direction) I'd be hard-pressed to recommend any other service. $35/month for 300m and "unlimited" data/texting? Hells to the yes.
On Virgin Mobile, I have a borderline-stupid phone (the LG Rumor Touch) with a slide-out keyboard and a touchscreen. The response time and feature content of this phone are absolute garbage compared to any iPhone or Android model.
On the other hand: - The phone cost me $120 with no contract, so its inadvertent destruction is not too painful for my wallet. - NO CONTRACT. Worth saying again. I can walk tomorrow if I find a better deal or the company pisses me off. - The internet access works just fine if I'm in a pinch. Chat, gmail, google maps w/ rudimentary GPS, checking the scores of sporting events... it's not so smooth that I'd want to be on it 24/7, but if I need to find something out I can. - It's $26.50 monthly after tax for 300 voice minutes, unlimited texting, and "unlimited" internet. - If you're paranoid, it's easy to pay cash for one of these at a big box store and pay cash for cards to top-up the bill.
I'm aware that this reads like an advertisement, but for the last five years -- after a slashdot poster mentioned 'em to me -- I've been utterly pleased with the service and pricing.
FTA: The Chinese prototype looks like it has "the potential to be a competitor with the F-22 and to be decisively superior to the F-35," said Mr. Fisher. The J-20 has two engines, like the F-22, and is about the same size, while the F-35 is smaller and has only one engine.
So... more engines and bigger equals "decisively superior," based solely on some photos?
I'd like to see accidentals rendered larger. Check Wikipedia and you'll see they're as large as the note bodies; check this guy's notation and they've gone all squinty. When you're a musician and you're playing notes that suddenly have to be modified, the last thing you want is to break concentration by trying to figure out which modification to apply. These things need to be properly proportioned.
Time signatures would be handy.
All that said, this looks like good proof-of-concept. I'd use the hell out of it should it become available.

I'm on the east coast of the USA. This story was posted two minutes before it should have been.

The bike industry has had ample experience making stuff that holds up to getting bashed around. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqYgAX6D43Q

"Google reportedly made a $6 billion bid for Google last December, but it was not taken up by Groupon's board." ...wait, what?

Let's go back even further. It's been happening for sixty years.
Not just any corduroy day -- but the most corduroy day in a CENTURY.
More like just a stitch under $63M, yes?
Here's hoping Dragon rolls out smoothly...

Hey, whaddya know? Joss Whedon is a slashdot reader!
As opposed to half the other posts on Slashdot, which read as "I know some basic things about computers and need others to know that I do"? :P

A conduit containing both CAT6 and some fishing line to pull through whatever's in vogue once CAT6 will no longer cut it.
...so there were no such things. It looked pretty dang good.
A quick google search reveals nothing under $104.99. Anyone have some magical fell-off-the-truck source for the sub-$100 price quoted in the article?
