I left AT&T because they are fucking douche bags I left Sprint because they were incompetent douche bags I left T-Mobile because They were worse than AT&T...and they are douche bags
Now I'm with Verizon. Who do I go to next when they start pulling this type of shit on me?
It is true that the Apollo program generate great innovations and jump started the US Tech sector. Which is why going to Mars is the wrong focus and a waste of time. And the reason is the very same reason people think it's a good idea to go.
Going to mars from a tech perspective, is an incremental affair. Sure, there will be new tech created, but it will be incrementally new. Better this, better that,more powerful, etc. But still the same thing
Today's equivalent of the Apollo program isn't incremental improvements and shooting people across the solar system in tin cans. The equivalent would be to build an actual Space Ship.
Features of a space ship vs a tin can
1. Nuclear Power Supply...hundreds of megawatts. 2. Non-chemical propulsion. 2. Magnetic shielding to protect against solar radiation. 3. Rotating living quarters for "artificial gravity". 4. Complete atmospheric and waste recycling. 5. Detachable vehicles for EVAs and descent vehicles.
Now THAT is a challenge that rises to the level of difficulty as Apollo and would spawn a like number of innovations for the rest of the world.
Hell, if you can make number 4 alone work reliably enough to go to mars, then imagine the benefits here on Earth.
My kid went to Mexico with her boyfriend and his family for the week.
On Friday, I received three text messages. One stating that the Data limit had been used up and that they were adding more. They second said the data charge was over $1000. The third said that the charge was about $3000 and they turned off the data. All in the span of 3 minutes.
They wanted me to pay them and I told they to go fuck themselves. It will be off my credit report next year.
I recall my training on confidential information when I entered the Defense Industry nearly thirty years ago. Hell, I remember the Food Safety course I took at age 17.
It's clear Hillary has some kind of Brain Injury issue going on.

Would hook up aspects of your house management..heating, cooling, locks, etc. to the internet.
What?
Every now and then Mustangs need to feed.
Remember when they passed that thing called the Constitution that said if it's not ratified by the Senate, it has no force of law?
The "Climate Deal" is a useless and powerless waste of ink.
Not matter what alternative you offer them, they will find a problem with it and reject it.
Hides things in folder, miss-classifies them and doesn't return the same search result twice.
When people say they are going to make your life easier, you can bet they are just going to fuck it even more.
Shooting people across the solar system in tin cans will always be a losing proposition.
It will be the language least suited to your task, but insisted upon by your managers.

Bastards are too cheap to hire, train, and pay people to censor stuff.
So I guess we'll start see lots more titles that start their descriptions with the phrase, "not to be confused with the Block Buster...."
No one is going beyond mars in some tin can with solar cells and chemical fuel.
So everyone will know to the picosecond when the two hours are up and they are hungry again after their Chinese dinner.

AT&T, fucking you over like no others.
It really should be Open Season with No Bag Limit on people running botnets of any kind.
If they take away our porn, it's "Katy, bar the door!".
It's close...very close
Facebook will go the way of MySpace, AOL, and the rest of the fad social sites.
hmmm... sounds Familiar
Where have I read about this kind of thing before
In fact, even the big dogs in the press admit they've gone down this road before. Of course, they claim "it's different".
In the past, the media just went Full Stupid about McCain and his health issues.
I guess the difference is McCain released all his records and we knew what he faced health-wise. Will Hillary show the same courage?
Environmentalists won't allow new dams to built in the US and are actively trying to have old ones torn down.
Peeps...pay in Peeps.
Sooner or later there will be a typhoon in the South China Sea and all of China's shiny new islands will be washed away.

Guccifer exposes Hillary's illegal email server and goes to jail for it.
Hilary gets off Scott Free.
BTW, Comey said "Leeeeave Hillary Alllloneeee" because there were more appropriate administrative punishments available.
And? What were they? Were the ever applied?
LOL!
A Facebook Satellite burns with it.
So...a Silver Lining.
If they verify an observable thrust, then it is a Big Deal because that IS New Physics.
