Having them close together would defeat the purpose as neither system would work right if people could travel freely between them. Living and receiving the services of the social state while doing work in the free economy state. The socialist state would go broke in no time unless you forceably kept them there, but that would be imprisement and you'd be no better than soviet Russia. In other words, yes socialist system MAY work, but only if it only trades and connected in any way with other socialist system. You might try a new planet...
Smartass, I meant you have to pay for them either way... I believe you can turn off automatic updates as well... Hell you could just manually program everything as well, but then you might as well cut the line.
But seriously for insurance, job time loss, and various other reasons, it makes sense to handle it in the same way you handle any other illness. Are you sure its actually classified as a disease and not as a dilbilitating (spelling?) illness?
There are plenty of worlds we have discovered with liquids.. generally liquid oxygen and whatnot.. I'd have to guess they know what they are doing. Either way from what I can gather its just above 0C that these are occuring, too warm for liquid gases, and liquids of most other substances are much heavier and generally don't plume up at small temperature changes.
Yes, you can get a tivo with no subscription right now. You just have to manually program your recordings and the suggestions don't work. Oh you want an interactive guide provided by TiVo, and periodic software updates, and customer service, and automatic suggestions? Well you're going to have to pay for those... Oh you don't want suggestions? too bad..
powering the servers that serve the program guide, paying to have all those phone numbers to dial-in, etc). From what I've seen more and more people are using their internet connections to get updates. Their newest models include ethernet by default don't they?
Very true, thought TiVos lifetime subscription only covers the model number you buy meaning if you upgrade you have to get a new lifetime subscription. So far this has kept them from having to deal with the long term pains, and from what I've seen most "lifetimers" are more likly to upgrade before 2 years are out (generally a lifetime subscription cost about 2 years of monthly subscriptions) anyways.
My thoughts exactly. If they don't know how they made it, there is a good chance they didn't actually do it and its simply a wrong measurement. In science you should never assume a measurement that is way off the norm to be accurate without checking and double checking and doing your experiment over several times.
Yea, I've been seriously considering picking one up latly, but the idea of buying one just to have it replaced by the revolution in a year sickens me... What to do what to do.. (a hundred is still a lot in my book)
To respond to this troll one can only say, I seriously doupt OpenOffice has "sold" a single copy of Windows, and MAY have sold several copies of Linux.
AKA you don't buy Windows for its OpenOffice support, you don't even buy Windows and say, well I would have gotten linux, but I can still run OpenOffice... So I went with Windows.
Actually no, a good bit of the shuttle design went to the airforce requirement that it be able to pluck soviet satallies out of orbit then do a quick landing onto a runway strip. This requirement was never actually used (atleat according to all records public today) and ended up costing us unimagined amounts of money in the long run. Most accounts state that the shuttle would have had a completly different design otherwise.
Believe it or not that 5 billion is not being spent on killing people. Rebuilding and effectivly running a country is expensive. Look at it this way the current national budget is 2 trillion I believe, thats 40 billion per state. Iraq has a population of 26 million (for comparison texas has a population of 20 million, california has 33 million). So that 5 billion a month = 60 a year. Yes a bit more expensive than the average state, but you have to subtract the prewar level of spending on those troops. We really should be collecting income tax from these people....:)
Well the Shuttles were a bad idea.. And attempt to look new and modern, while trying to meet cold war requirements. If you've looked up the info on the upcoming replacement its very cost effective and well thought out.
I constantly hear people saying one or both of two things. 1. NASA shouldn't be shooting for the Moon and Mars because it takes away from the smaller missions. 2. NASA should take a lesson from the private industry on how to get to space cheap.
But isn't this exactly what government is great at. Shouldering HUGE projects that no private industry in its right mind would spend money on... Ultimatly to progress science or humanity in general. No private industry is going to beat NASA to Mars. So let them have the small missions, hell once they really get their feet under them we can even contract out the smaller missions to them. But the really big stuff like getting people to Mars is only going to get done my NASA. And sure maybe we could hold back and wait for technology to progress a bit more, but we would still be stuck in Europe if that was the case.
Anyways true but how does this make Googles software any new threat. Most corporate networks have ways to ban software like P2P you just mentioned. This is really a identical if less so threat than P2P software. It will be dealt with just the same. Only difference here is you have software that was once allowed now banned, and some people wanting to continue to use the old version. Reminds me of a discussion I had with a user of why they can't use bonsi buddy anymore.
Yes, but its a LOT more information to have to shift through, future historians will definatly have an interesting job. Of course we are currently working on writing the history as it happens, but any good historian will want to try to recreate it to really get at the truth and not just the "official" truth.
Yes, but if they can regulate the transmitters they can regulate its content by forcing licensing of transmittion bands. They probably won't but given the right interpretation they could..

And you'd NEVER have everything working right, as you'd be constantly taking it apart and redesigning it. Your a gentoo user arn't you?
Shall I slap you with a trout again???
Yea, but it shouldn't be that hard to nativly support SATA, atleast for non raid configurations.
To respond to the slicedbread idea I believe this has been tried in france, atleast half the experiment.
Smartass, I meant you have to pay for them either way... I believe you can turn off automatic updates as well... Hell you could just manually program everything as well, but then you might as well cut the line.
Ask any HMO and they will tell you it is..

Except the new stryofoam are biogradable unlike the first type. So yes, there is a difference.

I'm refering to spy missions, the idea of grab and and get the heck outta dodge.
Yes, but NASA did most of the specifications, from what I understand little is being left up to Boeing or Lockheed except small specifics.
