People forget that when one builds something (e.g. Neutrino observatory) the money doesn't go to bricks and detectors. Eventually all the money goes to people. In order to build the observatory you need builders and other low-tech workers in addition to the all-knowing scientists. Big projects such as this create jobs. And even after it is completed, it will continue to employ many people, both educated and uneducated. The road to progress goes through development, not through throwing money at people directly. Enter cliche: If you give a man a fish, you give him a meal for a day, but if you teach him how to fish, you give him a meal for his whole life long.
What you meant to say is that finally someone is using Version numbers to keep track of... versions! Yes, the version number actually can give you a clue to how many stable versions have been developed. Brilliant. Btw, Google mentions it themselves, each time a stable version is released, that they do not give to much importance to version numbers, it's just something to keep track to where you are in the development cycle.
Docking of course is just the first step. One also needs agreement on the atmosphere.

Fortunately this is no longer much of an issue. As a result of the Apollo 1 fire and the deaths of Grissom, White and Chaffee, American spacecraft (starting with the Space Shuttle) adopted the Soviet approach.
A friend of mine sent me an e-mail a few days ago that October is a very special month since it has 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays. It happens once in 875 years. If I send the mail to 8 people I will be rich, Rich, RICH! Do you think I didn't try to explain her that every time you have a month with 31 days that starts on Friday, this shit happens? Don't you think I went to the calendar and showed her 3 times in the last 4 years where it happened? Do you think it changed anything? People have always and will always eat the bullshit they are given if it wrapped nicely in cellophane. Spam, sadly, included.
That's good for you, but most people prefer a visual representation of the objects. A list of ~120 interesting projects/sites is daunting and boring. Most people don't have the patience to read the description of each subject. In a presentation, OTOH, things are shown to you and are thus easier (i.e. more interesting) to browse through. Thinks Cover View vs. a list of all the albums you have.
I'm sorry, but if I have to choose between the summery, which is pure Flamebait material, and the article which actually makes sense, I would surely go with option 1. Why pass on an opportunity to laugh at the "Do no evil" slogan?
I guess they assume that having written "in Madagascar" once, you would understand the point and they would not need to keep repeating it. OTOH, why pass up an opportunity for being unnecessarily pedantic.
I once went parachuting. If I remember correctly, I ended up right where I started. In between I just circled the landing strip and came back. Worked for me.
It's even worse for studies in medicine, where I think they come up with a word and then just put out a phrase were about half the word are dropped in order to fit the backronym. For example: ALLHAT - The Antihypertensive and Lipid-Lowering Treatment to Prevent Heart Attack Trial.
This is only basic research. I am sorry to inform you that you will have to wait some time until you could get such a phone, but I'm sure you could find an app for that.
Sorry if I came away a naysayer, I did not want to imply that I think that way. I agree that we should always try to improve on what we have, I was just pointing out that we need to understand that the perfect system is an Utopian dream. Case in point: you think my original comment wasn't so good, yet enough saw it as good enough to warrant +5 Insightful. This subjective evaluation of people's comment is what obstructs our path to perfection, but I agree we should strive to make it the best it can be. Still, I think/.'s system works pretty well (even if there is room for improvement).

I have no lawn, you insensitive clod!
Duck? (verb, not noun - for all you Whoosh-able).

You should really work on these observations of yours... Better luck with the Neutrinos.
I guess you were eating at "The Restaurant at the Start of the Universe". I like their band.

So, problem solved?

Just saying.
Could you please say it again, this time with pictures? Thanks.

What's wrong with a CLI? Why have a GUI? I think the presentation is more engaging and accessible than if it were just a simple list.
And the SPI for me getting laid is always next week, that's what she said.
And the other 18% are lies.

You meant, just to be able not to play DNF. Didn't you?
With a little more hype it would have been vaporplanet.
You can say that again... and again... and again.
You should get +1 Recursive, not -1 Redundant.

But if it was published then, we would be crying about Slashvertisment.

The OP meant modern, sci-fi, author whose first name starts with a P and has a story with the word "androids" in the title. Clear enough?

P.S. I know he was joking, don't Whoosh me.
