What about sending up a handful of terraforming, replicating nanobots that will eat up all the bad stuff and poop out good stuff on Mars? This seems like the cheapest option, and there is only one technology barrier: inventing the nanobots.
Yeah, it's a good thing that the serious terrorists go around muttering under their breath at the airport about how they're planning on hijacking the airplane, before they actually hijack the airplane.
That assumes that you are buying the buns in response to the hot dogs. What we need are some recipes that use only the buns, without the dogs. That would turn the tables on those fat cat hot dog industry bastards.
Why is this such a common misconception? Your body does not care what SPEED you are traveling, only how quickly your speed changes (acceleration.)
If you average a 0-60mph time of 15 seconds (rather slow), then you could reach 4,000mph in just over a minute, as drag would not increase appreciably. Are you saying that a 0-60mph time of 15 seconds is enough to physically injure you?
You could, but once you used that vacuum to propel something, you'd essentially have a stack of regular atmosphere inside the tube. This would have to be pumped out again before you could re-use the tube. The stack of atmosphere wouldn't naturally evacuate, because you still have Earth's gravity pulling on it.
As long as you don't accelerate too fast, the human body doesn't care about the relative speed that it's traveling. You have Sir Isaac Newton to thank for that.
I was actually the first user on Slashdot. I am just so leet haxorz that I changed my ID so I look like a newb. You know, so I can blend in with the little people.
If I need to know the details, I'll Google it. I understand your point, especially when talking about a language as prevalent as C. However if you think anyone knows every language ever invented, you're mistaken. And given the stuff that's being taught as CS in colleges currently, expecting someone to know a language detail from a language they may never have worked with might end up filtering out some of the best engineering talent. My 2c.

BUUUUUUUT, there will be something wrong with the company when all those delayed write-offs hit the books in 6 months to a year, then you are all fucked. Haha!
I am with others here who would instead prefer a "dislike" button. "Dislikes" would preferably cancel out "likes," for the ultimate in meaningless, peanut-buttered, crowdsourced opinion.

On the contrary, the default else clause is there so the next poor sap who has to pick up your code can actually trace each construct without pulling their hair out. If you need to make it obvious, you can always put a comment in the empty else clause that explains why there is an empty else clause:)
They make you pay taxes if you own property, free and clear. And they make you pay taxes until you die. They can tax whatever they want, and they do. Don't make act like there aren't already "questionable" tax laws.

Yeah but they'll be the ones laughing when they're living in a tax free martian utopia, bangin' green, three-breasted martian chicks.
I prefer my lightning phenomena in 3-d. This is the Warcraft 2 of space.
You can't make a capitalist omelet without breaking some eggs.
To be fair, though, that's really what most people care about.
So in 2,000 years we have traded 2 tablets that tell you what to do for 1 tablet that tells you what to do. Progress!

Either way, you'd still need work against gravity, which constitutes the bulk of the energy required.

Sorry, bad maths. It would work out to be 15 minutes to reach top speed. Still acceptable =)

I guess.
Not if it's an Apple laptop.
Countering a logical train of thought with an opinion piece can be a non sequitur, especially when you completely misinterpret the conclusion.

Good to know you were hiring programmers, and not engineers, using this relatively pointless gotcha.
On the contrary, the default else clause is there so the next poor sap who has to pick up your code can actually trace each construct without pulling their hair out.

Mountain Dew is the best soda ever made!!!
Global warming is a hoax because my freezer houses a chunk of ice that has GROWN over the past 10 years. So there.
