And if you think this is too harsh, you haven't studied our history like I have.
Through a pair of shit-tinted spectacles, apparently. It's a wonder historians aren't throwing themselves off bridges all the time, the way you paint it.
Or maybe you're just manically pessimistic.
Death is what we deserve, and if we do not change, death is what should be for every man woman and child on this earth.
So what are you doing about this apparently dire situation? Apart from posting admonishments on Slashdot?
In my book, if you can't hold it and type with one hand, it's more like a mini tablet than a phone. Everyone else at work got the Samsung S3; I got the mini.
2. Announce forthcoming price rise applicable to new customers as of a future date 3. Watch those people who were previously on the fence about it sign up to avoid the price hike 4. ????...and so on.
but why is something important because an astronaut says it?
As the summary points out, Ed Lu isn't just "an astronaut." He's a director of the B612 foundation. This aren't just three guys who used to work in space, recently got drunk in a bar and decided someone should do something about all these asteroids they keep hearing about on the news.
Aren't astronauts usually pilots who received advanced training for going to space?
No. Ed Lu is a physicist (and was one before he became an astronaut), and Tom Jones was working on remote sensing of asteroids before he became an astronaut.
This being slashdot, I think it's appropriate to discuss the technical aspects of photographic lenses.
The AC wasn't trying to start a discussion. He just wanted to sneer down his nose at people using "inferior" tech.
We all know real cameras take better photos than smart phones, and this software isn't going to suddenly close the gap, so I don't know why the AC was acting so threatened and insulted.

Isn't this old news?
I see what you did there.

Facebook Data Miner Will Shock You
No, no it won't. But only six words in I already feel like this story is treating me like an idiot. Nice.
You desire to expand knowledge?
How much expanding will I have to do to decipher your post?
Understandable whoosh.

Encrypyted comms over citizen/public radio bands is not allowed.
Would that include Cockney rhyming slang?
Apple has set a new standard in lifespan & reliability.
Apple: "D'oh!"
But they're not "invading privacy"! They just want the option to invade privacy at any time. Biiig difference.
Isn't google dumping [insert service here] completely in less than a month?
Very probably.
They probably can't understand why anyone would want to be like you.

Moped Jesus is pissed.
If communion wine is really his blood, he must have been wasted 24/7.
We're not ready for a Godzilla attack, the eruption of Yellowstone, or the zombie apocalypse.
Load of fuss about nothing. It's never going to happen, so why %!$*%& NO CARRIER
$50 3D printed hand preferred over $42,000 prosthetic hand by particular guy
This is great news for this particular guy, but it doesn't necessarily follow that the 3D printed hand is therefore objectively better than the other.
Tarsiers?
That would be adorable.
In your face, resurrected Jesus.
That's zombie Jesus to you.
Maybe he's not a surgeon:
A group of chemists has shown
No sense bringing in a surgeon when all that's needed is a bare minimum of skill with scalpel and suture.

That's fun to say. Derma-bo-bond.

Who's that then?
Hungry students. How common.

Wow. You're so awesome. You own a big-boy camera and know all the fancy photography words!*
That's what you wanted to hear, right? Because I can't think of any other good reason for you to post this.
The "muggles" have all got cameras now. This is just a nice bit of software that'll make their shots a bit more fancy.
Get over it.

You'll take my Haruo Sato designed lenses away from me when you pry them from my cold, dead fingers.
