I had read somewhere that NASA's current plan for the Mars trips they are working on is to use the water for the trip as the shielding, and that it would only be needed when a solar storm happens, so most of the time, the standard aluminum shell should be enough shielding.
The official record for fastest manmade object is the Helios 2 probe, which reached about 70 km/s in a close swing around the Sun. But it’s possible the actual holder of that title is a two-ton metal manhole cover. The cover sat atop a shaft at an underground nuclear test site operated by Los Alamos as part of Operation Plumbbob. When the one-kiloton nuke went off below, the facility effectively became a nuclear potato cannon, giving the cap a gigantic kick. A high-speed camera trained on the lid caught only one frame of it moving upward before it vanished—which means it was moving at a minimum of 66 km/s. The cap was never found.
nuclear powered and reached.002%c in relation to the Earth, very briefly.
Science Fiction, given enough research sometimes becomes science fact. Who would have thought we would have wireless personal communications devices, or portable computers in our pockets? Well, Star Trek suggested the personal communications devices, and the PADD, which looks pretty much identical to a tablet. You seem to assume that anything we aren't currently doing is impossible, so will never happen, but even NASA doesn't agree with you. Most issues with space travel and colonization has more to do with money than technology. Currently, NASA is funded with a miniscule budget, if they were given more, they could do more. So, saying things aren't possible is just short sighted, not prophetic.
Why pray tell won't you? It seems many people that are smarter than either of us think that it is possible, and have designed systems that need to be tested. I guess according to you, we should give up all research in that direction since you believe it is already a dead end without any testing?
then they left out the safeties and nags that other manyfacturers use that prevent abuse.
Except, no, they did not. Autopilot always warned you that you were still driving, and asked that you still pay attention to the road, and even had the added feature that it would disable if you released the wheel for too long.
Crippling licensing fees reduce the profit, and are therefore a legal way of moving profit out of country. You seem to be missing that it is a tax on profit, which is a tax after experiences (such as licensing fees).
Drop federal from your analogy and it might be close. Would it be the fed's job to tell Nebraska that they had to charge more state tax? That hasn't happened in Delaware yet.
Ireland is within their power to charge whatever tax rate they want, the EU is telling them that they aren't allowed to have taxes set as low as they are. Nebraska has no authority to rule on federal taxes, so it just doesn't match.
FYI, complaining about one candidate does not automatically imply that a person supports the other. I hate all four current candidates, but frankly, there wasn't even someone better in the primaries either.
You must be posting this from Europe, it seems many Europeans have no idea what parts of the US are like. Very likely, this lady lives in the Appalachian mountains, which is an area of the US well known for still containing wild animals, such as brown bears, cougars, likely wolves (as they have been making a comeback). This lady likely has very good reason for her ownership of firearms. Trying to condemn a freedom we as Americans decided 240 years ago to give to every person in the US, because you don't agree with it, is silly beyond belief. Perhaps we should start telling you how to run your country next?
People who post AC to Slashdot should not have legal access to weapons.
In the US, the first amendment guarentees everyone the right to practice their religion. You can mock those who believe differently all you like, something also guaranteed by the first amendment, but that does not give you the right to take the rights of other people away from them because you don't believe the same as them. The second amendment which protects the freedom of everyone in the US to own a firearm (bear arms), is not something that can be, or should be, taken away from people because you disagree with their beliefs.
If a dog attacks him, and he shoots it, he is within his rights. If the dog owner then attacks him, he is also within his rights to defend himself there too. The first responders would be dealing with the idiot that attacked reboot, not reboot himself except to figure out if it was self defence.
It also supports it, but isn't on the list according to the comments section of that article. Likely the issue is that VZ never sold the phone, so didn't test it for compatibility.

Perhaps we should label you a dirt nutter, because you have this insane belief that nothing is possible, and we should just give up.

My personal favorite is Nuclear Thermal, but others have pointed to Fission Fragment. So, why oh super genius won't any of these work?
Stop feeding the troll ;) If a person can't handle an argument without name calling, they're not worth your time.
I wish I was better at taking that advice with someone mentioned in my sig, but alas, I am terrible about letting the trolls sit without responses.
I'm worried about Miranda. The reavers are pretty scary too.
They should instead call it Autopilot Pro, since clearly it is way better than even the most sophisticated autopilot.
Those damn misleadingly named automobiles, why don't they mobile automatically?

Doh, stupid spellcheck.
Expenses, tax after expenses.

Piercing the corporate view is very hard.
Is that when you poke their eyes with a pin? Perhaps you mean "veil"?

Funny enough, they both apparently use two "L"s in the spelling of their names, while you used one.
If what Marc did was so innocent, why did he plead guilty to the charge and take a 5 year prison sentence?
Maybe 20 feet, hard to tell though, the only camera angle was from far away.
or sparsely populated areas.
FTFA:
With a single shotgun blast, a 65-year-old woman in rural northern Virginia recently shot down a drone flying over her property.
Sparsely populated would apply.
Name the law, otherwise it can be assumed you are making it up.

The bible has issues with murdering. However, killing in defence of home or country is perfectly allowed.
If a dog attacks him, and he shoots it, he is within his rights. If the dog owner then attacks him, he is also within his rights to defend himself there too. The first responders would be dealing with the idiot that attacked reboot, not reboot himself except to figure out if it was self defence.
