"Government isn't mandating that you buy [a yacht] -- just that you have it."
So now Obama is trying to make me buy a yacht? Bloody hell, how far will this guy go before people wake up. I'm going to write up an email and send it to all my friends. Our president is clearly in the pocket of "Big-Yacht".
You are correct. We quickly go from a relatively small space station to a 2km diameter torus when we start talking about using centrifugal forces to produce artificial gravity that doesn't cause its own problems. Something like Discovery One doesn't really seem large enough to mitigate the dizziness and other ill effects of differing speeds at head and feet.
* NASA finds a link between long-duration spaceflight and a loss of vision acuity.
* The condition is not always reversible once an astronaut returns to Earth.
* Doctors believe a redistribution of cerebral spinal fluid in weightlessness is involved.
This is just another of the long list of maladies associated with weightlessness. Artificial gravity is going to be a must for long term stays in space.
Thank you, maybe they'll listen to you. American space exploration has been in a state of decay for a over a decade.
Sadly, I don't think they're going to listen to him. They haven't listened Jim Lovell, John Glenn and Fred Haise, so why would they listen to Neil Armstrong?
I had a cat that would do that, but only while I was trying to sleep. She would jump up on my chest, drop a jingly cat toy and bat at my face until I threw it for her. If I was dumb enough to throw it, she would repeat the process until I eventually tired of it and stashed the toy in my nightstand.
It's about 10 years behind MS in terms of features (as far as I've read) and the one time I installed it in a VM it was a crash-fest. It would be nice if they could get it off the ground and working, but I don't see it happening soon.

July 2005? Wasn't E3 2005, when Nintendo announced the Wii, around May? Did they show the controller at E3?
No. The Wii-Remote was first shown the Tokyo Game Show in September 2005. It was apparently too buggy to display at E3.
I do recall reading some speculation about Nintendo's new controller as far back as early 2004, but I don't think it had taken this shape in the media's mind yet. I think this is a case of convergent evolution with one party trying to cash in on the similarities.
AT&T contracts out almost all Tier I help desk work. I worked for a ~400 person call center in Texas that exclusively handled AT&T tech support. Most of the other tech support contractors are in Manila, PH.
I was trying to channel Dr. Bob, actually. I'm glad I it came across. I added a bit to his style though, tossing in Voodoo, faith healing and the like.
I'm afraid modern medicine disproves the efficacy of goat sacrifice for long term protection from measles. It's been shown to only be effective against smallpox and influenza.
would take their children to get Chiropractic. Big pharma wants you all to get vaccinated with their live specimens of the Measles, Mumps and Rubella viruses so your body can learn to deal with these diseases, but it already knows how. It's just being prevented from doing so by poor alignment, non-organic foods, subluxation, voodoo, bad mojo and pesticides.
Chiropractic can save lives, just like homeopathy, acupuncture and faith-healing.
Mozilla offers the option to set your own default search provider anyway. They're not getting paid by Yahoo!, Amazon, Wikipedia, Answers, Creative Commons or eBay, yet they are offered as options in my (default) install of Firefox. I can't see them removing the option, and even if they did I'm sure one could add it back fairly easily though the "Get More Search Engines" option.
This won't harm the users, just Google (maybe) and the Mozilla Foundation (definitely).
I'm not really sure why you keep at it, Bob. These folks on/. are far to enamored with their germ theory of disease, and their scientific method, and their actual evidence that science based medicine lengthens lives and cures (or mitigates) diseases and their double blind studies and all the other things that are on their side.
Of course, you and I know the truth. All these polio-free children running around today are the beneficiaries of chiropractic. Likewise, all the smallpox-free children, Diphtheria-free children and malaria-free children. Boy, what would we do without chiropractic?
Always Guy Fawkes with these guys, isn't it? The can stab at the beast, but they won't kill it. Maybe a couple of lulzy "Pool's closed" moments and then they'll get tired and go elsewhere.

Reports of magnetically levitated frogs and mice aside, the more realistic near-term solution is centrifuges.

Kirk wouldn't have a chance to beat the fsck out of Solo, because Han would shoot first.
At least he would have before the special edition...
I second the E2000.
People love to hate Linksys, but I had great luck with my WRT54G for years and now I'm having the same luck with my E2000.

**as you suggest, not "TV suggest", which is gibberish.
Pretty sure the oil companies could defray some of the cost of hiring those mercenaries by putting it on TV suggest. Fox would jump at that.

MythBusters to the rescue!
The result was that it got better with each subsequent filtration, but the top shelf stuff stayed at the top of the list.
I'm hoping that fad will collide with the vampire fad to yield a "Count Chocula" flick.
I'm just glad the live action, American "Evangelion" film never got off the ground.
