Then, do not complain or get upset when the rest of the world, which does define success in that way says "open source companies are not successful". And, do not complain or get upset when they do not take open seriously or want to invest in them. I swear your post reads like something out of 1984: success is failure.
Your logic is the same as a 400lbs woman stating she is not fat because that is not how she defines fat. Your personal definition of something does not change the definition used by or the opinion of the rest of the world.
No, dumbass. These are independent contests occurring at security conferences. These contests are about owning boxes using fresh installs of OSes on machines.
They are not MS paid-for analyses. Apparently, you are either a fanboy or just an MS hater who is too lazy or stupid to actually do the research I suggested. Either way, your bias is obvious.
They are taking a rich, interactive experience which can last for hours, days, or weeks and chopped down it into a 1.5 hour passive experience designed to appeal to the widest, lowest common denominator segment of a, possibly mis-identified, audience.
Oh, shut up, you lying fuck. I am willing to bet that if he had broken into your bank and bank account and not NASA you would be screaming for his head. Now, shut the fuck up, hypocrite.
It is still a two trick pony: Satellites to LEO, and satellites to GEO. It does not take the place of the shuttle and most especially does not take the place of the Constellation program.
They would have except for Obama de-funding the program. I guess you forgot about that.
Let's see:
SpaceX has delivered a 1960s era liquid fuel rocket designed for LEO. NASA has delivered a 1970s era test vehicle as part of a program to develop a 2010s era launch system.
SpaceX has an almost working satellite launch vehicle. NASA was developing a system for sending people to Luna and Mars.
Yeah, SpaceX has gotten very far using NASA's old technology.
Of course "SpaceX is now years ahead" of the Constellation program. SpaceX started years before the Aries program, used 30 year old technology, and has a much simpler goal: LEO and GEO. They fucking better be years ahead, specially as the Aries program has lost its funding.
I guess you forgot that the Constellation system was supposed to take us back to Luna and then on to Mars and not just the ISS which is the primary target of the Falcon 9 system.
Comparing the Constellation system to the Falcon system is like comparing an over the road semi-articulated tractor trailer to a day-cab straight truck.
Comparing this to a 1964 launch would be like comparing the 8086 cpu to modern quad core.
Bwahahahaha!!!! That is rich, fucking hilarious even. No, it is not like that at all, or at least not like you mean.
A private company succeeded in launching its first sub/low orbital rocket and it was only a year late. There are no truly innovative technologies used in the Falcon 9. It is comparable to a Titan III rocket, first launched in 1965.
The most innovative part of the Falcon 9 is that both stages are "designed" to be reusable, but that capability is not certain but rather hoped for and has yet to be demonstrated.
Literally, this is the equivalent of a private company demonstrating its new single core, 32 bit, RISC processor. It is old technology that has been mastered repeatedly by others and is nothing special.
This robot is not designed to harm humans. It is designed to clear obstacles and explosives from the path of humans. Also, this is not an autonomous robot, but rather a misnamed remotely controlled vehicle that is 100% under the control of human. The three laws would never be applied to this device.
The MICLIC system consists of an M353 3-1/2 ton or M200A1 2-1/2 ton trailer (or M200 tracked trailer) chassis, a launcher assembly, an M147 firing kit, an M58A3 line charge and a 5-inch MK22 Mod 4 rocket. The line charge is 350 feet long and contains 5 pounds per linear foot of composition C-4 explosive.
I am sure you will want to set up that system to clear a road block, IED, etc. and risk taking fire.
I would prefer to stay out of the line of fire and use a much smaller unit mounted on a robot that can be deployed from cover.
The MICLIC is designed to be used by Engineer companies to clear paths through large mine fields. This unit is designed to be loaded aboard a HMMWV and taken out on patrol by squads.
You say you are an USMC Iraq vet, but exactly did you do that you can not see the differences between these two pieces of equipment and the value of this piece of equipment to front line troops on patrol in Iraq and Afghanistan?
You don't know shit about me so quit putting words in my mouth, shithead. Look what socialism has gotten Europe: violent race and religious riots, kidnappings considered acceptable union negotiation tactics, high taxes, and a crippled currency.
I guess you for got about all those things.
Tell me, why did you leave out the part of my comment where I said regulation is needed? Oh, right, I forgot you are a lying asshole.
Go fuck yourself and die in a fire, you lying piece of shit.
Unfortunately, you are wrong in many of your statements. Under capitalism, the both industrial and political power are not consolidated in one group as it is under socialism. In a capitalist society, anyone can become successful regardless of political connection, which is not true of a socialist society.
I won't bother to point out the glaring problems with the rest of your asinine comment.
Basically, you are talking out your ass and expecting to be taken seriously.
To answer you asinine question: None of the above. I feel sorry for the driver and I feel bad for the little girl and I feel bad for her parents.
Now, if you are doing being a pathetic piece of shit troll, I will get back to my life while you get back to doing your drugs and fucking your little brother.
Sometimes I feel sorry for people, sometimes I don't.
Generally, I don't feel sorry for people who cause their own problems. I don't feel sorry for drug addicts. I don't feel sorry for people who can't get a job because they were too busy fucking off at school to learn anything. I don't feel sorry for many classes of people because they do it to themselves.
In Tampa, there is a prime example of this. There is a woman with 12 kids by at least 3 different fathers. She has no job, little education, and literally feels and has stated that society owes her and should be paying her to take care of her kids and providing a place to for them to live, no questions asked. I do not feel sorry for her, and only barely feel sorry for her kids.
I have trouble feeling sorry for my sister and brother-in-law, my own family, because their problems are the result of their own actions.
I know a beautiful, young woman who is in jail because she had to go out at night, while on house arrest for one county and on probation in a different county and with two warrants for failing to appear in court, and drive under the influence with a suspended license. She was arrested and now has to go to court in two counties and may end up in jail for months if not a year or more in prison. She wants to try to bribe a judge to try to get out of some of the charges. I love her, but I do not feel sorry for her because she brought all of this on herself. And, if she gets caught trying to bribe a judge, I still won't feel sorry for her.
People who have genuine problems that weren't caused by their own stupidity or laziness are the people I save my empathy and sympathy for, not people who have done in themselves.
WTF are you talking about? Have you even studied world history?
You want to see the results of socialism and communism? Look at Cuba, North Korea, China, and India.
Cuba, a country that is an hereditary totalitarian dictatorship. North Korea, another hereditary totalitarian dictatorship. China start off communist and created a partial free market. Now you have a handful of incredibly rich people connected to the political parties and almost everyone living as effective surfs with no hope of ever getting ahead. Oh, and an itty bitty bourgeois class which will only grow if there is capitalism. India was a socialist democracy and they have turned out very much like China. You have billionaires and huge class of people who make barely enough to live on sleeping in the streets and no hope of ever doing better. Oh, and an itty bitty bourgeois class which will only grow if there is capitalism.
Capitalism may not be a perfect system, but at least one has a snowball's chance in hell of getting ahead. Is regulation needed? Yes, because people are greedy. But, it does not require that those in power be 100% benevolent. Socialism only works if everyone in power is benevolent.
A) The GGP comment should have said "flat rate tax system" instead of "flat tax system" as demonstrated by the text of the link posted.
B) Neither a Flat Tax nor a Flat Rate Tax system are "entirely spending-based tax systems". In fact, neither system is even partially spending based. Rather the former is where everyone pays the same amount regardless of income, and the latter is a system where everyone pays the same rate regardless of income. Even the current system is not spending based.
Your so-called progressive tax brackets punish success and encourage tax evasion and complex tax laws.
In your other comment your referred to a "simplified flat tax system".
A flat tax is a tax where everyone pays the same amount of tax in dollars. A flat rate tax is a tax where everyone pays the same percentage tax on income.
This is a very important difference. The former is unfair as one would pay the same amount of tax regardless of income.
What you should have said was a "simplified flat rate tax system."

Or, the author is biased.
Now, apply Occam's Razor.
Perhaps you should read some of the comments here and research them before you go spouting off.
They are taking a rich, interactive experience which can last for hours, days, or weeks and chopped down it into a 1.5 hour passive experience designed to appeal to the widest, lowest common denominator segment of a, possibly mis-identified, audience.
What could possibly go wrong with that?
Oh, shut up, you lying fuck. I am willing to bet that if he had broken into your bank and bank account and not NASA you would be screaming for his head. Now, shut the fuck up, hypocrite.
They both get overpaid to play a game.
And, the only reason it does not exist is because of Obama.
It is still a two trick pony: Satellites to LEO, and satellites to GEO. It does not take the place of the shuttle and most especially does not take the place of the Constellation program.
Or it would if they'd actually try building one.
They would have except for Obama de-funding the program. I guess you forgot about that.

Exactly who did we lose the space race to?

If they are going to teach it in that class, shouldn't they use the ancient name for it, creationism.
Oh really?

If you don't understand it you are just as much a pathetic shithead as that other poster with his shithead question.
If you don't understand the difference between self-inflicted stupidity and an accident, you really need to be removed from the gene pool.
The rest of your post is irrelevant to the topic at hand. That you include it shows your complete lack of understanding as to what is being said.
You don't know shit about me so quit putting words in my mouth, shithead. Look what socialism has gotten Europe: violent race and religious riots, kidnappings considered acceptable union negotiation tactics, high taxes, and a crippled currency.

When one pays more taxes for being successful, it stops being a civic duty and starts being a punishment.
