  1. Finally, someone who cares about getting to space in charge of the space agency. Since when did being an environmentalist become a prerequisite for NASA.

  2. Re: Sure.... on Foreign Students Have Begun To Shun the United States (axios.com) · · Score: 0

    Ha!

  3. Re: Don't cheat and don't worry on The IRS Decides Who To Audit By Data Mining Social Media (typepad.com) · · Score: 0

    Hahaha

  4. Fake Red Herring on Right-Wing and Fake News Writers Are Now Going After Elon Musk (qz.com) · · Score: 0

    Elon Musk has infact received / wasted millions from the US government. Solar city looses 6$ for every 1$ it makes. Telsa has never made a profit, yet Mr. Musk is worth 11.3 billion. What's the fake news? I think this broader fake news concern is nonsensical.

  5. Oracle is ridiculous on Op-ed: Oracle Attorney Says Google's Court Victory Might Kill the GPL (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm not an expert, but I think oracles continued flailing for a way to charge money for Java, after its long been "free" is killing java more than the "gpl".

  6. Miniaturized Warhead on North Korea Launches Missile From Submarine (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Since when did u.s. Intelligence analysts suggest that NK likely miniaturized a warhead? Citation or link anyone?

  7. Call the japanese on California's $68 Billion Bullet Train Project Faces Major Hurdles (latimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Just call the Japanese. This entire country (japan), though all the Mountain ranges, and below most cities is a Swiss cheese patchwork of amazing tunnels. They build them on credit in most neighboring countries (i.e. Vietnam and the philipines) and they are glorious feats of engineering. Of course for the question of if high speed rail were a cost effective idea or good idea for California, I have no idea but I'd guess no.

  8. Re: From my cold, dead hands on Microsoft Wants You To Trade Your MacBook Air In For a Surface Pro 3 · · Score: 1

    Not to mention, as other users have said, my air cost 2500$, plus the 1000$ for the 30 inch monitor. I use VMware fusion to run server 2012 for M$ visual studio, quick books etc, but you can't beat the battery life and stability of OSX for every day tasks, the sleek, solid design, and the power of some of my servers in a form factor the size of an iPad. I can't wait for the next generation.

  9. From my cold, dead hands on Microsoft Wants You To Trade Your MacBook Air In For a Surface Pro 3 · · Score: 1

    I love Microsoft, I'm windows server number 1 fan boy, and have made millions programming .net enterprise applications, but my Mac book air is the second greatest technological invention of my lifetime after my iPhone. I wouldn't take 3000$ cash to use a surface over my sexy perfect MacBook Air.
