It's just a controls problem. Supersonic jets have been automatically stabilized for years, and I have a suspicion that's a bit more difficult then balancing a scooter.
It's a coincidence that they are the ONLY ISP in Somalia and that they're suspected of terrorist links. As much as some people here would like to believe it, I'm sure the US is not trying to curtail the Somalian people's "freedom" to use the Internet.
Number of innocent Afghans killed by a decade of civil war: tens of thousands.
Nubmer of innocent Afghans killed by American bombs: several hundred at most.
Installing a peaceful, fair government in Afghanistan: priceless.
Some crimes against humanity you can ignore. For everything else, there's bombs. Lots and lots of bombs.
Some people are born stupid. There's not a whole you can do to help them. In this day and age, if you're reasonably intelligent and motivated, a free college education is not hard to come by. I see it every day -- smart, lazy people and stupid, hard-working people getting ahead, stupid, lazy, people being left in the dust and whining about the education system. It's genetics and evolution. Stop equating it with politics. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the education system in this country, and if there is, the president (whoever he may be) certainly has nothing to do with it.
Seems there was some bad movie back in the 70's, Black Sunday, or something about a Goodyear blimp being hijacked and run into a stadium full of football fans. Never saw it, tho.
I've seen it. They load a Goodyear blimp with some weapon that shoots in millions of projectiles in a big scatter and try to kill everyone at the super bowl with it. They don't try to ram anything.
With the exception of a couple people reminiscing about working on military simulators back in the day, I have found every single comment to be exceptionally retarded.
Please go learn something, then come back and have an intelligent discussion.
To use a popular example, take a game of StarCraft. There is no central game server, or "simulation authority" -- the game is distributed over all the player's machines, with tokens passed in a ring containing player commands for that timeframe. So, yes, it's "P2P" but BIG FUCKING DEAL. This is nothing new, people.
Yeah right. A $10,000 grant is gonna pay to develop and drug and bring it to market from the ground up.
Maybe you'll care when you're on your death bed from an unknown side effect of a poorly researched drug, or dying from a disease that has a cure but because the funding to study it for approval is not available, nobody makes it.

That is why programs written in Turbo Pascal will divide by zero on newer machines when they initialize -- they are trying to get a machine speed estimate for the delay() function.
Your argument is ridiculous. First this crappy DEC box is not a one-of-a-kind work of art. Thousands exactly like it were made. Second, maybe some should preserve old junk, but that has nothing to do with Rob wanting to AUCTION the old machine (for presumably a lot of money, more than he paid for it) with the intrinsic "value" derived from the fact that it WAS the Slashdot server.
I can confirm this by the number of times I've been kicked/banned from Tribes servers by 15-year old admins on a power trip. Oooh.. you have admin on a game server.. big man!
This is just more bullshit by the media (and in particular, Hollywood) to portray cloning in a negative light.
Has anyone ever seen a Sci-Fi movie about cloning that did not portray them as evil or used for evil purposes? How much do you want to bet the clones in this movie are absolute evil and are fighting versus a cast of lovable, fluffy, obnoxious absolute good characters. Of course the bet is moot since I for one will not be watching this tripe nor giving Lucas one more cent.

Because it's faster.
Why use cable when I can dial in
Why carry a cell phone when I can wait till I get home to call.
Because it's faster.
Why should a pay 3000 for a motorized vehicle when I can pay 100$ for a bike which will go faster
Because it's faster. Oh wait no it's not.
Worked fine for me.

Maybe that's because most foreign news services are simply propaganda?
What is this "Saudi Arabia" nonsense about?
Yeah, but try buying an XBox without at least an extra $150 worth of nearly zero manufacturing cost games included.
See, they're not losing anything.

His acting is real, but he is not.
I don't know about you guys.. But I'm gonna start putting $50k of insurance on big fragile pieces of glass and shipping them cross country.
I'll bite. Why don't they work?
If cross-platform development is your goal, I bet you could write the same thing in about the same amount of Java code, too.
Ever use Delphi? Anyways, I would hardly call that "full blown".
