You're pointing out an important thing: - how fast does a cloud service provider have to respond to a DMCA? - how to manage to respond to a lot of DMCA requsets in a cost efficient manner?
"Now do you get it? It's a disgusting little technique that derails any attempt at rational discussion." No, I don't. Maybe try using logic next time. You knee jerk emotional rant is completely meaningless.
I'm talking about accidents, obviously. Space rockets are more fragile and less reliable than our usual nuclear power plants. That's what I'm talking about. Assembling the thing in the orbit doesn't really change the fact that space rockets are prone to fail.
Because they don't live forever? Because they have problems that have to solved now, not 10 years later. Because they want to be entertained now, not 10 years later. Why buy a concert ticket for tomorrow, if I have no use for it the day after tomorrow?
"My opinion is if this thing blows up, it will kill the crew and pollute an area of space millions of kilometres from anything I personally give a shit about. This is pretty much the same end result as if a chemical rocket blows up. "
You mean like the Challenger and Columbia? Except with nuclear fallout. I know the reactors in spaceships are usually much smaller than a nuclear plant, but this is definitely bigger risk than a chemical rocket.
"Maybe you should put in a little bit of time to catch up before dragging up old disasters that have NOTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH NUCLEAR POWER."
Sorry, a whoosh is coming for you. The point was to compare it to other industrial disasters that has "NOTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH NUCLEAR POWER". The point is, it's easy to say that hydropower is cheaper, if you employ different safety standards. (In our case expected deaths in 40 years of operation.)
Well, similar fate waits for Earth (Sun will turn into a red giant), so my bet is the star is getting hotter. When stars run out of hydrogen and helium, and start fusing heavier elements, they get hotter. When the fusion stops, it becomes a dwarf. Of course the lifecycle of a star heavily depends on the initial size, so this only applies to Sun type stars.
On the other hand reinforced concrete can last pretty long, and isn't prone to pest infestation. You need quite a bit of chemicals to properly treat wood.
Sorry to burtst your bubble, but the opensource movement isn't 4chan or Reddit. If you try that shit on the Blender, Inkscape, Panda3d forums, you'll get banned before you can blink.
Blender movies are more of tech demos. I agree that their stort often stinks, on the other hand it's very intresting to see how the whole creative process works. They document their progress very thoroughly. Also, considering that their team usually works with alpha* quality software, I'm impressed that they can get anything done.
* Sintel for example was done with Blender 2.5 Alpha 0-2. That thing crashed me every three minutes.
Lua is preferred in games to other scripting languages, because it's extremely fast. (2-3 times faster than CPython). What I didn't like about is the idioms surrounding the metatable (used to hack on OOP elements, and other language extending magic). It looks more complicated than it should.

"If a site served an ad from their own domain, it would waltz straight though my defences, but I can sleep soundly knowing that will never happen."
Not like it would be too hard to cache the ads on the web server, and then rotate.
I can suggest an application from the top of my head: spatial configuration tables for experimantal/reconfigurable robotic arms.
"What kind of "accidents" do you mean here? We're talking about an interstellar spaceship that stays in space and doesn't ever land."
1, Challenger blew up during takeoff, so all the bullshit about Langrangian points is perfectly irrelevant
2, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ariane_5_Flight_501#Launch_failure
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosmos-3M#Accidents
4, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fobos-Grunt#Post-launch
These are accdents all launch related accidents, and the list is not complete.

Thank for your informative reply.
"is if the govt cannot sell bonds below a certain rate, the fed will buy them"
So, why exactly does the government pay intrest for that money? And what does the intrest is spent by the FED?
Look at the mini or micro USB connector. Or the power supply connector in desktop PCs.

Everyone thinks they know everything except geniuses.
9' seems plenty for a family home or an office. I guess nobody wants a theater made from containers anyway.

It's the homeowner's duty to strike for good balance between uniqueness and resale value.
Yo dawg, I herd you liek stolen cred cards!

You must have a lot of bookmarks :D
Seriously, I never had such a problem. Do you have any idea what can take up so much space?
That might be right, however on the desktop client part it seems the situation is better.
That's great to hear. Now get off my lawn!
Also, this might the reason why politicians don't accomplish anything.
