The reason for the information collection is to determine general audience demographic. As long as they have something they can go to the advertiser and sell it doesn't really matter to NYT or their equivalences.
I gave the NYT a spambucket addr, so I don't know what kind of ads they send to me, but now I'm curious....
Exactly what *do* they market to 70 year old female CEOs living in Afghanistan who make less than $20K per year?
I know it was a joke, but it's a free-return trajectory. Similar to what Apollo 8 and 10-12 used. That is, if they needed to abort, they would return to Earth with no burn needed at Luna. Apollo 13 (and later) didn't use such a trajectory, giving them a larger selection of landing points. Because 13 didn't use such a trajectory, they needed to do some burns with the LEM main engines to get into one.
No, that's 1 WHOLE HOURS of real actual Olympic events that the USA won, 2 Hours of "what they fed their kids for breakfast", and 1207 hours of commercials.

Has WildFire even done a manned test launch of the thing?
I know that SS1 has done a full manned test of the profiled mission.
The story should read "The BBC are..."

No, I am not British, but I figured SOMEBODY had to defend them
got a nice hefty 1500KB/s sustained over a 768bps connection
I'm impressed! How'd you get the 15,000x speedup?
[
for the math impaired:
1500KB/s = 12000Kb/s
12000Kb/s / 768bps = 15625.

FireFox, OTOH, is a 4MB download.
If you FTFL (follow the f'ing links), you'd see that the Moz download is 12 MB (win32).
Is the FCC good or evil?
Who here learned to touch type on a MANUAL typewriter?
Back in '79, I learned on an old Royal manual (that's all the Typing 1 class had). Typing 2 students got to use the Royal electrics.
As a result, I tend to *POUND* on the keyboard. Annoys my wife to no end.

No, they built it on a piano!
Dude! Thank you!
But... But... skipping commercials is stealing!!!!
"If this was so simple and straight-forward, why didn't someone else patent it?"
Because most sane people figured it was too obvious, and wouldn't be patentable?
I guess that would make it easy to jack into....
I see dead companies.

Rash prediction: Algol68 will reappear in 2068 as a modern language.

It was Shepard who shot a golf ball on the moon, during Apollo 14.
Asimov originally wrote "The Bicentennial Man" in 1976 for... (wait for it) the US Bicentennial.
Yeah, that fact is US-Centric, and means Asimov was an Insensitive Clod, mmmKay?
