Ocean liner tourism, and jet plane tourism aren't worth dying for either, but people still do (die) even in this day and age of mature technologies in both of those areas
The problem with bikes is weather. We are getting into (the northern hemisphere) winter. Snow and ice on the roads make cycling too dangerous, and then theres the wind chill...
How long ago were the Blue Angels flying Skyhawks? (Yeah I know they were great planes for aerobatics, the former New Zealand airforce used to fly them.)
I haven't worn a (wrist) watch for a number of decades. Working in places that require frequent handwashing made it not so convenient. (meat industry, food industry, child care and now elder care) In that time I have used pocket watches, belt clip watches and one on a lanyard round my neck. Even if a watch is'waterp[roof' it may not be so resistant to hot soapy water, even if it can withstand 3 metre deep cold water.
" This is not a Tank it is an Armored Fighting Vehicle."
Tank is a subset of Armoured Fighting Vehicle
This appears to be a Mechanized Infantry Combat Vehicle (another subset of Armoured Fighting Vehicle
They carry a number of infantry who can fire from withting the vehicle, have a smaller gun than a tank (which is designed to engage other light Armoured Vehicles and fortifications, and the troops can also get out and go and break the door down.
A modern western army is unlikely to have to fight other tanks since they would be taken out by aircraft or helicopters.
I expect that Doctors will charge more for video conferemcing than for an office visit, so the question is will medicare and your insurance pay the difference?
Slashdot Mirror
They should rename it Stephen Hawkings disease
Do they get free 2 day shipping with Prime?
"And what guarantees will you make against PHI disclosure?"
You can't fully diclose PHI = its an irrational number
= ( 1 + 5 ) / 2
Change the system to use longer numbers, say 32 digits and make it hex, not dec
They should also have a needle number (like a pin, but longer)
The protection is for being able to own (and carry) a weapon, it doesn't say anything about who has to sell one to you.
"(6w = 5v@1.1a)"
Are Intel still having problems with their floating point maths?
5V x 1.1A = 5.5 W
They still have to change it every 6 months to account for daylight saving or the reverse.
Why does it need a foldable tail? Its not like it reenters at orbital velocities...

Space tourism is still more attractive than cruise ship tourism
See that big ball of gas in the sky 93 million miles away, thats capable of taking out any satellite based system...
I thought LEO was Low Earth Orbit (like where the ISS is)
"This impacts Drake equation"
If planets are not orbitting a star, its unlikely they would evolve life (as we know it, Jim) much less a technical civilisation

Every Silver Cloud has a leather lining

I hear they're skippimg Win 9 and going straight to Win 10 which will presumably suck, so when is eleven coming out?
To OEMs
But won't the OEMs stock up on Win7 (especially if they sell to the business market.)

"It still arrives with the turning of the seasons, in brown envelopes just a bit smaller than a 401k mailer."
Which would be how many Libraries of Congress?'
I guess that depends on the size of your 401k
(some of the 1 percenters have pretty big 401k's)
Hermetically sealed coffins
Have they demonstrated the power of the force at all? or are they just genuine nutters?
I agree the Surface tablets are Gross
