    That's just silly talk. Obviously a big part of the value of this material is that it is already in space.

    On a second thought... no, it can't be: engineers can't access data of any value, can they now?

    That's a joke, right?

    On a second thought... comparing the salaries of MBA graduates with those of engineers, maybe is not so funny anymore?

    no, no, no, no, no! you're doing it all wrong!
    Engineers, being by definition, members of the reality based community, are more honest, and take the trust and responsibility placed on them more seriously.
    Whilst business graduates are all a bunch of sleazy fast-buck artists.

  3. goddamn baby boomers ruin everything! on Measles Resurgent Due To Fear of Vaccination · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The greatest generation were tough as leather with great big balls of steel, because they hadn't invented titanium yet. The eventually got off their asses and smashed the Nazis, rebuilt the world from the ashes of global war, made said Nazis put a man on the moon for us and ground communism into dust.

    Fuckin' boomers, drained out social safety nets by refusing to adjust to demographic realities, lost two wars to a bunch of rice-eaters, ruined the economy repeatedly, shut down useful investment for future generations, turned their back on our manifest destiny to conquer space, engendered an society where entertainers are ludicrously compensated while teachers are vilified for taking crumbs from the mouths of millionaires and started the slide into a new dark ages by embracing ideology over facts and science.

    The baby boomer generation is the greatest generation's GREATEST FAILURE.

  4. prior art on One Final Manufacturing Run of Touchpads · · Score: 1

    Someone should get hold of it RIGHT now and make a proper commitment to WebOS, and to making the devices *at* cost, or below if you can get the app model in working shape.

    If you can make a device below cost, I think you've got something.

    The underpants gnomes want HP to give their ???? back.

    On the bright side, you can still snatch a drawing of a Touchpad for as low as 1 cent (though it goes up to 1 dollar for higher-spec versions), with many supplier choices.

  11. Re:There's still hope... on Can Google Save Us From Slow Internet · · Score: 1

    Obama proposed the old conservative healthcare reform, very similar to what was proposed by Nixon in the 70s, the Heritage Foundation in the 90s, and implemented by Mitt Romney in Massachusetts. And even that he ended up watering down; Nixon's proposal was actually considerably better.

    oh great, now you've dragged that pinko commie Nixon into it.
    Next you'll be pointing out Obama's actual actions are to the far right of saint Reagan.

    Real "truckers in jeopardy" drive unarmored supply trucks for military contractors, but good luck getting camera crews to stay long enough for a series. :P

    You could just convince the Pentagon that a show like that was a good idea. Then promote some privates to media affairs, shove a camera in their hands and put then on the trucks. With enough fixed mount cameras, they could still do their regular convoy duties also.

    Well, look at it this way, China has like 1,300,000,000 people, give or take a few million. 50% of them are by definition below average. You do the math.
