Of course, they can't bring women with them, because that is what the space aliens are after. It's the porn industry's duty to produce enough to keep the space aliens happy and thereby prevent an invasion of Planet Earth.
I bet you didn't know that internet porn was a federally funded government project developed just for this purpose?
Of course, owning the inner solar system is not going anyplace practical until the round trip time can be cut back to a few months vs a few years. You can always store up stuff for a year or so. But after a while, it starts to add up.
This is the real barrier to owning our own back yard. Fortunately, the technology is something that is not out of reach. It is something that can come to fruition in the next few decades. then you can grow your own food where-ever you happen to be at.
Mathematicians have now come up with a rule for predicting the law of "anything that can go wrong, will go wrong". They say the formula allows people to calculate the chances of Murphy's law (or Sod's law as it is also know) - and to even try and beat the bad luck.
The person is asked to rate the following factors on a 1 - 10 scale for the situation to be analysed
Urgency
Importance
Complexity
Frequency of doing this task
How skilled I am at this task
which are then mangled together through the online calculator. One presumes that an end result of ten is equal to a 100% chance of Murphie's Law coming into play.
Strangely enough, it is possible to get a score higher than 10 on the calculator.
The best and most extreme example of this is when all factors are rated as ten (Urgency, Importance, etc) except for the skill level, which is rated as 1. In this case, the end result is 40, which I presume to either indicate a 400% chance of Murphie's Law Striking, or a 100% chance that Murphie's Law will strike 4 times.
Applying this to modern problems, such as the typical county worker trying to manage an electronic voting machine system, is left as an exercise for the reader.
Just as the ball gets hit and everyone goes nuts, so you don't see the outcome.
Revenge of the nerds indeed.
hopefully this is small enough so you don't get caught
Maybe some Altruistic Billionaire would be interested in funding these guys. Especially guys who have a track record contributing to the public good. You know, get them some help.

that the processor is running at 100% utilization all of the time. Similar to an automobile, are you getting maximum use out of it if you are red-lining it all day long? On the other hand, yes, you could get by with a 20 hp Model T in modern traffic, but it is very nice to have some acceleration under the hood.
Essentially, it seems that there should be enough power so that the software you are running is responsive to the degree that you do not experience the sensation of waiting idly while spell checking or whatever.
Of course, it is the job of the Giant Software Corporation to build software Giant enough to run on the most powerful computers, and still seem slow. Your milage may vary. Your treadmill awaits you.
Note to Microsoft (or anyone else storing milliseconds, for that matter): unsigned 64-bit int! Instead of having to reboot every 49.7 days, you'll have to reboot every 213,503,982,334 days, give or take a leap-second.
That's every 584,942,417 years. Which is simply not going to be good enough in my book.
Cool, now all we need is to return to programming in Tube Logic. This is definitely not programing in Binary, because you can program logic conditions with varying values of "1". although you usually didn't
Is like this, except it is segments of the us job market vs folks from overseas.
Another example of what happens when the primary corporate philosophy is predatory and parasite friendly.
it is a result of black and white accounting values, instead of seeing a full spectrum color photo of the situation, which means acknowledging more than personal selfish goals as important.
Survival is a multidimensional activity. Otherwise you sacrifice everyone else's quality of life for your selfish ends. Do that too often and you end up living inside a toliet bowl with the only rope out tied off to the toilet handle.
Netgear's new WGT634U Wireless Media Router has a little something extra that we expect will be standard on all of these things sooner or later: a USB 2.0 port for attaching an external hard drive that anyone on the network can access. Plus they've cut a deal with Western Digital (sort of like Linksys' arrangement with Maxtor) to hook people up with drives that can used with this thing, though almost any external drive will work (even a lot of those Flash keychain drives) and they've even prepared a list of which ones are compatible.
plenty of these things seem to be out there, check them out.

See also this detailed article on what kinds of batteries might do the job. good practicle info.
then use a DC to AC converter.
Need to do some math, along with getting an over night battery recharger. But several of these should do.
See this article, seems that car batteries are typically rated in hundreds of amp hours (100 to 500), so two or three might do the job.

note: the complete loop is approximately 2.5 hours long and you can see that the glow is definitely real across several images
Also the Pacific Northwest Seismograph Network, a parent network to the St Helens area has the daily shots as a loop, with more info here. The earthquake maps plotted out over time are also very interesting.
