That doesn't make complete sense to me though. You're arguing that he's scrapping hubble to cut costs, while at the same time he doesn't care about spending money like a mad man elsewhere. It could be possible that he see is trying to cut costs, but like you said...$500 million is a drop in the bucket.
I do kind of find it depressing that it costs 500 million dollars to send a repair crew to hubble orbit(which isn't very high up, if I understand correctly). What we need(and will probably never see) is a ship that can ferry a crew and their luggage into orbit and back for a tenth the price.
Oh well...

How C# Was Made

· Score: 1
I'm not a c# programmer but...
Is there a STL-type library under c#, and is there a port under mono? If not, it would make c# under other os's kindof pointless, if a few base classes werent implemented.
Thanks for the clarification. That wasn't my impression of the situation, but assuming that you're right... What motivation would Bush have to shut the Hubble down? It's things like Hubble and the Mars rovers which give NASA pretty pictures to show the public. Other missions without pretty pictures(I can't think any off the top of my head, but one studying gravity waves or something) aren't things that the public respects as much as a picture of a nebulae(sp?) or the landscape of mars.
I don't know, and I don't think that anyone else does yet. *shrug*
At least you're taking the honorable route of debate, rather than mere censorship of statements with which you disagree.
NASA works for Bush. NASA is Alice in the Wonderland of Bush's budget. Bush's job is to get NASA to work for America. Why do you hate America? A) Thanks, I always find it better to reply than just mod flamebait
B) I never said that I hated America anywhere in my post. Stop trying to start something that isnt't there.
C) The NASA officials who originally made that descision aren't (afaik) chosen by the president. I understand that there is some argument about whether or not their worries are justified, but the current or any president doesn't usually put their hands in matters like this because they clearly aren't qualified to make descisions like this.
And for the good stuff: The few, the proud, the conservative. There are far too many "conservatives" like you, opportunists in denial. What are you so proud of? I am proud of the fact that while I understand there are circumstances which warrent help for some people, I don't rely on handouts to sustain my living. I'm proud of the fact that when life throws me a curveball, I am able to step out of the way and get my bat ready for the next swing. In general, I'm proud of my beliefs(otherwise, why would I hold them?) And how/what do you "conserve"? All you do is mimic slogans like the time-honored Marines motto, as you posture in the limelight earned by those who actually sacrificed to give the words meaning. It's a sig. My sig, like many people's sigs is a succinct expression of an ideal I hold. I'm not trying to disparage any member of our armed forces.
Are you a Marine? What are you actually, other than a propaganda construct? No, I'm not a marine. I'm a brazillian guy studying computer science and math in the hopes that I can make something out of myself someday.
My turn: Why did you get so off topic? What about my post was so abrasive to your self esteem that you felt it necessary to lash out at me like this?
You know, I'm burning 4 mod points I spent on this thread, but that is just BS. It's not the fucking Bush administration's descision. It's NASA's descision. i know that a good many people here probably hate bush, but that doesn't make him responsible for every single fucking thing that happens in the government. At least blame him for things he's fucked up, I'm sure you could find plenty of things without having to encroach on someone else's mistakes.
We agree for the most part, but as a quick quip: Those numbers could be extremely skewed. You would have to look at the percentages of the people under their power that they killed. There were obviously less people in the past.
Just because there are more people around doesn't make the death of someone any lesser of an offense. If someone killed my mom, I'd be pissed if there was 10 people in the world or 10 trillion.
Granted, but I didn't want to lead the discussion into saying that everything good came out of military or religious purposes, only that from time to time, good things do come from those two ideas.
Horseshit. Religion in general is the biggest cause of social and mental retardation in history, and more wars and death and killing have been it's result, directly contradicting it's stated goals. I'll give you that Religion has been bastardized by many people to serve their own purposes, but: 1)It doesn't make 'religion in general' a bad thing. Having a few, or even a majority of people that claim to adhere to a creed screwing up doesn't automagically make the creed stupid.(not believing in religion is, of course something that's too much for a./ converstation...I'm just stating that people's actions don't invalidate an idea)
2)It's hardly fair to say that religion has been the largest cause of death and misery across the world for all time. The estimated 72 million executed under Mao Ze Dong's rule, or the > 10 million under Stalin's rule far eclipses the misled people's mistakes during the crusades, etc...(not that it marginalises the stupidity of those actions)
Humans will not be free until they have stopped being afraid of death and the scare tactics used to control the weak religious minded, such as belief in heaven, hell, judgement day, etc. nothing good will happen. All are used as tools by the Leaders and Pontiffs to keep the masses in line.
Until the substitution of reason and thought for blind faith happens nothing will ever change.
There are plenty of normal people who believe in a religion of some form or another who aren't sheep. I happen to follow Christianity, but it doesn't mean when the Pope decrees that condoms are bad I follow along with it. Additionally, what won't change? Regardless of whether there is religion or not, people are still going to starve and be killed. Same goes for whether or not capitalism/communism/dictatorships/democracies/etc... exists, there are going to be less fortunate people in this world, blaming a belief in a higher power is a bit odd.
Which leads us to... But honor the 2 biggest killers of mankind - the military class and religion as advancers of society? Fuck, no. They are the biggest millstones around the human condition.
While they may or may not have been the _greatest_ advancers of society, a few technological innovations have sprung out of millitarism, and there are people who have done good things in the name of religion. I would argue that greed is the single largest stumbling point for the human race. It's people's inherant greed which causes them to use anything within their grasp to crush the people around them.
Lol, I just got done reading fark when I saw this: There are sites dedicated to the incredible level of FAP abuse that is piled on customers. Threw me for a loop there for a second:)
Uhh, I think this space mountain is in Japan, which wouldn't make it that old. Also, they mentioned that they had the new auto-failure-detecting-track system, which was a fairly recent development.
That's kinda weird, I thought that if the matrix was to be done properly, they needed more than 3 movies. They should've done a lot of explaining on what happens to neo, how everyone is released, more explanation of 'the source', more development of the merovingian character and whatnot.
My biggest questiong is how Lucas expects to pack all of that into a two hour movie without making losing tons of detail. I think we're gonna have another matrix3 on our hands where there was far too much that had to be shoved into the movie, so the good stuff off every part was taken out, leaving distilled suckness.
Even if there wasn't a full backup system for power reasons or whatnot, I thought there'd at least be a extreemly basic watchdog processor that would activate only after certain actions(reboot, hardware failure, etc...) sending debug data back home. Then again, I'm not getting paid the big bucks...
While that will mean that once a single manufacturer's box is hacked, the rest are vulnerable, it won't mean that every linux box in the world is vulnerable, unless all the manufacturers make the same choices when building their boxen.
But would you want to take already grainy and probably worn footage and then compress it even further? It would almost seem like you would want to lose less information just to keep what little detail there is in the final DVD.

Where are my 8-way Opterons?
Theyre shipping, theyre just real expensive
I'm still bitter about the Athlon MP - which was supposed to allow for 4-way Athlons.
IANA chipset designer, but AFAIK, that's a physical impossibility, there's only one CPU select pin on the socket A, which'd allow for merely 2 cpus.
