No one is suggesting that they (the people) have to take a pay cut
Bull. To keep their jobs they have to deliver the same margins, or the investors will punish them. That means that if they offer something that costs more for a lower price, jobs have to go and/or salaries have to go down. They aren't going to make it up in volume.
Landline internet providers struggle with this, and their cost of expansion to accommodate unlimited service is trivial compared to what a wireless carrier has to build out. Information may want to be free, but copper and silicon most assuredly don't. Basic economics, I'm afraid. There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.
It may be different for the C&C circuits, but the mains are most certainly bypassed when in battle condition. Letting a surge through is far better than a total power loss. There's a big switch in the breaker rooms to bypass them: on older ships it looked like something out of a Frankenstein flick: a big bar that came down and bypassed all of the safety systems.
Little known fact: warships' electrical systems have a set of switches that bypass the breakers/fuses for use while in combat. The risk of explosion is deemed less serious than the potential loss of function due to a breaker or fuse going during combat at a surge less than that which would cause total loss of the systems.
Ah, because he overstated a tiny bit for effect, he "knows nothing." Sure you aren't going to get ganked at level 2, but STV (to name but one example) is going be a very unpleasant place to solo with bored 12 year olds with their 70s griefing left and right.
That's not even taking into account the "I suck at PvP so I'll go gank quest givers 30 levels lower than me so the lowbs can't advance via PvE while all of the PvPers are busy honor farming and won't come defend" problems.
Do you take turns acting as a sort of Executive Officer for the week? Do all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting-- By a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs,-- But by a two-thirds majority in the case of more major ones?
You mean that when you pay someone to write software you get a product that scales and is documented and all of the other crap that most open source programmers seem to actively sneer at, because that kind of work seems menial and boring to them? Perish the thought!
Actually the CIA kept a very tight eye on the Russian launch facilities: in fact it was increased activity at one that led them to conclude there was a possibility that the next Soyuz launch would be a slingshot around the moon, which led to the scrapping of the original Apollo 9 mission and its transformation into Apollo 8 and the voyage around the moon.
Well, except for the fact that when you peed in the bottle, the force of gravity helped make sure you didn't shoot away from it.
Weightlessness complicates things a bit.
Yeah, because the ballistic missile early warning system never would have caught those failures and we would have cooperated with the Soviets in covering them up to protect their tender feelings.
One of the best bosses I ever had had a simple rule: "If you aren't making mistakes, then you probably aren't working. Just don't repeat those errors, and don't try to hide them when you do screw up." He ended up retiring after 30 years with the company, so his philosophy certainly never cost him his career.

Judging by the racist morons you keep sending to represent you up here in Washington, you haven't come nearly as far as you'd have us believe.
This sane OS of yours, does it come with rainbow pooping unicorns too?
I hear it's scheduled for the next service pack. At least I heard the word "poop" used in reference to it.

I'm not sure what "Jewish Mossad" is though. Is there a "Hindu Mossad"?
Yes, there is. They are not as good at intelligence, but their song and dance routines are legendary.
That's not even taking into account the "I suck at PvP so I'll go gank quest givers 30 levels lower than me so the lowbs can't advance via PvE while all of the PvPers are busy honor farming and won't come defend" problems.
So they fine you for not giving it. Either way you get fined.
Of course the idea that this entire solution could be avoided if people cleaned up their own dog's crap seems to escape people.
you might want to try reading TFA every now and then. Just a thought.
You're really new here, aren't you?
What were the Little Joe II shots if not tests of the entire abort package, including the escape tower and the chutes?
The users do. And they sign the acceptance documents. Do not underestimate the power that lies there.

Exactly. You were guaranteed at least one fascinating trainwreck a week.
Looks like pez wins one Internets.
Enhanced disbarment also has a period of double secret probation I think.
I thought it was because the Stonehenge builders managed to secure a trademark on lintel stones.

So yes, they were paying attention.
Well, except for the fact that when you peed in the bottle, the force of gravity helped make sure you didn't shoot away from it. Weightlessness complicates things a bit.
Yeah, because the ballistic missile early warning system never would have caught those failures and we would have cooperated with the Soviets in covering them up to protect their tender feelings.
This is in the Russian part of the station. My guess is they need to pour some vodka on it.

There was a team, but they were all hired to bring Duke Nukem Forever in on time.
Well, except for the "Man Portable" part.
