They're probably closer than you think. The failure of the X-51 wasn't "aerodynamic," it was mechanical. I think a simple control structure wasn't working properly. Could be a very simple fix.
Interesting point. Weird as it might sound, I went on a Bridezillas tv show binge a while back and was blown away by the way some of those women acted. I've been disgusted for a long time with what weddings have become, but I see some logic behind guys who seem to bail weeks or months before the big day.
It's all over the place. I see incidental "actor tweets X" or "actress a big fan of X" stories right around the time their movies are coming out. I remember seeing almost daily reports on Megan Fox about every inane detail of her life suddenly appearing in the media, until the promos for Jennifer's Body started showing up. And, the Kardashians are being shoved down our throats everyday. Not to mention the scores of failed celebs who are trying to use their fame/endorsement model.
NASA, please release REAL color pics for the general public. For the past 20 years, I've been having this "oh, that looks strange"; "well, that's not what it really looks like" back-and-forth every time photos are released.
No thanks. Sure, 99% of us aren't going to be in the business of publishing military docs, but the point was made pretty clear that you don't own The Cloud and any time they have a problem with you, you're subject to having your entire infrastructure and all your data shut off like a light switch.
I've never understood the hostility towards OOP. I've always seen it as nothing more than another great tool to use, but so many posters act as if OOP is some false god brainwashing the masses. My theory is they're taking the act of embracing OOP as synonymous with insulting C.
Look at the added java.io.PrintStream.printf() method that uses a variable argument list. Someone had to be a special kind of asshole to adulterate a strongly-typed OO-language with that bullshit when the obvious OO solution is an array for a second argument. That's the kind of modification made when someone is making a political point, not a design improvement.
A Latin American country is providing safe harbor for a journalist who dared to expose top-secret documents on the military. Someone needs to rework the "In Soviet Russia..." meme for juntas.
I'm sure this is another anti-nuke liberal conspiracy. I bet a bunch of tree huggers mutilated a jar full of butterflies and let them loose. Am I right, guys?
People think that nature is a bunch of animals running around a green backdrop. But, plants have their own pretty interesting evolution. I took a botany class in college and it gives you a whole new appreciation for the "scenery" in your nature documentaries.
Great to have, but with that much bandwidth it's more an advantage with torrentting or any other multithreaded downloaded. I'm more psyched about the upload bandwidth for setting up a server. If Google ever runs to my neighborhood, I'd definitely be on it. And, I'm sure all those Google Fiber users helped out the average.
"Assault rifle" is no more made up than "sports car". It describes a generic design. Is it explicitly defined? No, but it works well enough. Now, laws are pedantic so codifying "assault rifle" likely would leave lots of fuzzy areas.
No, it's called fudging it until the only people who care that's it's inaccurate are a handful of pedantic, pretentious geeks. Blockbusters are about excitement, they aren't math documentaries.
This is what I don't think the "you don't need a degree" crowd gets. University instruction is teaching how to be a good programmer, not how to write code. If you think college was worthless because you didn't learn the DirectX API, consider that your university experience should have been about everything that happens before the first character of code is typed; and then some.
Leading up to a crappy Megan Fox movie release, they were flooded with articles (unflagged as payola) about every minute detail of her life. Even the bloggers were commenting about the unwarranted attention. Then, the promos started...
I've seen them do that with lots of other wannabe stars as well. That and funneling traffic to "gone viral" YouTube videos with ~1000 hits.
I'm hoping Yahoo turns itself around. 10-15 years ago, Yahoo was my literal internet home. One stop shopping for most of the daily entertainment including playing Yahoo Games like Hearts and Spades. I'd like to see it come back without turning into a Facebook/Google data mining front (GL w/ that, I know).
My plea is for her to fix the card game forums. As it is, they're being overrun by poor sports:
* "Trammers" (TRAM: The Rest Are Mine), who get mad when they're losing and use a convenience feature to eat point hands quickly and kill your shot at a comeback. * Stallers: people who've figured out how to game the timeouts to wait you out when they're losing. You either leave, wait out, or take a forfeit. * Spammers: people have figure out how to bot the applets with spams * No good filtration system: would be good to have a mechanism to flag problem players. * Interface hasn't changed in 10 years.
I spent a weekend a week ago in rural Kansas. Farmers are getting hammered by the heat and lack of rain. The one bright spot in all of this is that the communities who have been most likely to vote against these policies are getting hit with the consequences the "firstest and the mostest." I'm hopeful that after a few more years we're going to see begrudging acknowledgements that something...anything needs to be done.

Firefox reference! Nice!

I'd still like to see a queen ant standing behind a mic stand with Gloria Alred; shaking their fists at the sexist men who ripped off her ideas.

Just curious, what does UV vision do for you? I get IR vision.

Hey, it's the first attempt at space art. Weird as it might be, as long as it won't be in permanent orbit, give the guy his little fantasy.

Don't forget the diseases (like lupus) associated with their engineered bodies.

Appropriate, because it's not my mom and pop's country anymore.
hehe that's a double 5 mod. Big'uns was Al Bundies favorite nudie mag and No MA'AM was his chick-free mens organization.
