Doesn't matter. It's an imperative language. What else is there to know?
In today's environment I am not looking for someone who knows a language, I know someone who knows how to program. That entails that he can adapt to different languages. I'm sorry, but it seems you're not who we're looking for.
That again fails at the commercial angle. There simply isn't anything that you could mine sensibly on the moon that you couldn't mine more cheaply down here. Even Helium-3 wouldn't warrant the prohibitive cost of getting a mining op going.
What you could do is mine the He3 and build the whole research base (and later maybe power plant) on the moon, but then again, there isn't really anything to be slung towards Earth.
We're not talking about average citizens. We hand these people a LOT of power. Essentially they have the power monopoly in the country (in most countries at least). They are granted powers above and beyond what the average person may do. But those powers are not granted to them as individuals but as their function, and they are not granted to be used at their whims.
These powers are handed to them so they can use them to protect our common interests.
The same applies to politicians, by the way. Oddly enough you never see anyone wonder why they aren't under surveillance, considering their ability to harm our interest is by some margin greater.
Yes. It's not like the recording is for the evening news, it's for evidence gathering. When I lie beaten up in a pool of my blood dressed in a pink elephant costume in a tutu because that's what turned my tormentor on, I sure as fuck want that recorded and secured as evidence.
If you show it to anyone who isn't concerned with solving the case I'll step on your balls while you're watching me do it, though.
That's rather unlikely. They may drop it to the 700ish area, but probably not any further. Their selling point is that they're the only one that offers the "room scale" experience, and I would expect Steam to come out with some games that basically demand you to own a Vive to play them rather than trying to engage in a price war.
Ok. My active hours are 0 to 24, Mon-Sun. During those times I get to decide when and how to reboot my machine. Outside that time frame you can reboot whenever you please.
Acceptable is me choosing when to reboot after an update. It's fine to remind me that it's necessary from time to time (read: once or twice a day), but it is UNACCEPTABLE to reboot it now, tomorrow or anytime without my explicit consent.
Well, fuck. Even the shills we have hired at various Microsoft-praise-sites are now bashing us for rebooting their machines at random. So we decided to tone it back a notch, hoping that this will appease enough people to the level where they're probably pissed at us for rebooting their machines but not enough to actually consider switching to a system where they got control.
Let's see whether that's enough to make them shut up.
No, it's not. There is literally nothing you could possibly do from up there that you cannot do easier, cheaper, more efficiently, less noticeable and easier to find a scapegoat for down here.
The whole shit reminds me of chemtrails. Even IF that did whatever it's supposedly doing, there were lots of ways to do it easier, cheaper, more efficiently...
The tweet was, and please correct me if I'm wrong:
"The moon is probably the most tactically valuable military ground for earth. Rocks dropped from there have power of 100s of nuclear bombs"
This is bullshit. On more than one level. Even if you want to read that "dropped" as "hurled", which makes no sense since "hurled" would certainly not have exceeded the Tweet max length either. So why write "dropped"?
But be it as it may, if it showcases anything then that she doesn't know anything about the topic, yet feels the urge to barf her opinion into Twitter... in other words, she's really just yet another politician, running her mouth about something she has no clue but certainly an opinion.
Even if the context was colonization of the moon, the mere idea of a war Earth vs. Moon is ludicrous and not even a good plot for a SciFi story. You are talking about a place that is 100% fully dependent for survival on Earth. And even in the foreseeable future this would not change, no matter how well you plan a moon base. We're usually complaining about the shortsightedness of politicians, but worrying about a problem that could possibly become one no sooner than 2100 is ridiculous.
I don't care what's between people's legs, at least 'til I want to take them to bed with me. And twice when it comes to a politician. What I care about is their political agenda and whether I can identify with it.
Ok. You very obviously don't read whatever you reply to. Or you cannot comprehend it, but usually I don't attribute to stupidity what can sufficiently be explained with laziness.
You just wanted to pour out your random drivel about... whatever, if you can't be assed to read the post you reply to, neither can I to read whatever you want to say.
Poe's law is unfortunately in full effect these days. I do not deem it impossible that there are actually people who think that you can "drop" a rock from Moon to Earth. With people thinking the Moon is hollow, the Earth is flat and the universe altogether is 6000 years old, this almost seems like a lot less harebrained.
Yeah, I also think they should dig up Eisenhower and put him back into office, even dead he's a better prez than most of the muppets we had the past 30 years, but what can you do?
Take a look at the tools they were running against and you'll probably come to the sad realization that I came to, that yes, those actually WERE the better choices.
Yes, that's sad. I know. And I wish I could say anything uplifting.
Let's put it that way, there's a reason I don't say much about agriculture and animal husbandry. Namely that I know jack shit about them.
I honestly cannot think of a context where something like "rocks dropped on the Earth from the moon are a threat" would be considered a sensible statement.

It can. Provided it simply turns the camera on instead of just reminding the cop.

Still not good enough.
Tell me there is an update and I'll choose when to apply them and when/if rebooting is a good idea.
Ok. My active hours are 0 to 24, Mon-Sun. During those times I get to decide when and how to reboot my machine. Outside that time frame you can reboot whenever you please.
That I could accept.
Not acceptable.

Thanks for berating us. But heavens forbid you actually tell us how to do it!
No, it's not. There is literally nothing you could possibly do from up there that you cannot do easier, cheaper, more efficiently, less noticeable and easier to find a scapegoat for down here.

Care to explain to me why you lump in socialists with atheists instead of Christians? Unlike atheists, socialists and Christians do have an agenda.

Leave your dissenting opinion at the door please.
Boilerman got sick last night.
Great, that way nothing changes, it's going to be the same people doing the work!

So... you didn't feel represented by Obama? Or, if you're black, by any president before him?
You wouldn't feel represented by a gay politician? Or, in case you're gay, there isn't a single politician running that you feel would represent you?
And in this presidential campaign I could not have gotten a representative either way because I'm neither a woman nor orange?
And bluntly, I don't give a shit.

Doesn't even work. If you are "marginalized" and tell them to STFU, you've just been indoctrinated by the ruling majority.
You can't win against religious doctrine.
