  1. Re:Star Wars economy on First Survey of Commercially Viable Asteroids Estimates Only 10 Are Worth Mining · · Score: 1

    We have 200+ years of coal reserves in just the US and we are not mining most of it due to environmental reasons. If we start running out of power, those regs will go away.

    You put a supply of H2O in Geo-sych and your phone will be ringing off of the hook. A refueling station outside the gravity well is the start of a new space age.

    Bitcoin mining, there is a thought. If you can't sell the power back to the utility, dump it over to the miners during the day. They can definitely ramp up and down as needed.

    it's always dangerous for firefighters to fight a house fire, that is why most of the time they do not enter it. Surround and drown.

    In Virginia, they get around this by paying you wholesale rates for what you sell to them and retail for what you buy. Works pretty well and gets around that problem.

    They normally have to sue you in your own state and have to attempt service. Otherwise a Lawyer commits fraud upon the court, which is a big deal if they get caught.

    one of the things they have to offer is Cam Ranh Bay, one of the better harbors in Asia. I will not get into the cheap hookers and other trade goods from the area.

  9. Japan didn't have to prosecute their War Criminals, the US Army hung most of them after the war due to mis-treating US POW's.

  10. Dude, that was over 40 years ago and it was a screw-up, since then how we do riot control has changed. Nobody planned to open fire that day and they only killed 4 people. We lose more that every weekend in Chicago alone. Now we just pepper-spray them in the face, see UC-Berkeley protest.

    Did you not hear about the Verona intercepts? It turns out Mccarthy was right, the US Government at the time was full of Russian spies and had been since before WW2.

    Those have went away, the new deal Baen has with Amazon killed them.

    I don't know, maybe launching their biggest carrier ever on Hiroshima Day. That is a sign for someone because normally it is a national day of mourning in Japan.

    I doubt it too, the Russians had a bunch of Bombers loaded with ship-killers cruise missiles firing from long range. Also, we designed Aegis class ships for that exact threat.

    My brother in law did a study for Dish that showed they were losing millions of dollars in training costs due to their harsh attendance policies at just one call center. A copy went to Charlie, but I assume it was ignored.

    Set your sights a little higher, just one of the companies has 45K employees. They would love to update the software, but they have to wait till the Vendor updates the program. There are not a lot of cheap options for something like this at the Enterprise level.

    How about Kronos, the big timekeeping software? I know several companies that are using a current version of it and can't move pass 6.24. Did I mention they have it installed on a large number of their desktops?
