  1. Re:You might not realize.... on Intel's 4004 Microprocessor Turns 40 · · Score: 1

    ...that we landed on the MOON before the invention of microprocessors! Now that's scary.

    Correction: they faked the moon landings before the invention of microprocessors. That's why it's so obvious. If they had today's CGI, we would be far less likely to know the truth.

    The government didn't know the September 11th attacks were about to occur, and had very little information after the attack.

    They also don't have a welfare state.

    Which state is that? Delaware?

    Nope. Looks like Alaska just edging ahead of MD and VA. (I don't count DC.)

    in 2020 you don't want to be relying on aircraft and parts made in 1996

    Why?
    You think we are going to forget how to build them?

    Once upon a time, someone asked the same question about the Saturn V.

    If I were put in charge I would make fewer toys but make them in greater numbers. I believe a future confrontation with Russia/China is likely, and my toys would be oriented towards this goal.

    Trying to beat the Russians or the Chinese with raw numbers? THAT sounds like a winning strategy...

    Even the most computer illiterate person knows how to get a copy of Photoshop and a serial number on their Windows machine. This is not 'Free' as in speech software, but 'Free' as in beer. Which is really all that most people care about.

    WTF is with you and other posters hear tossing out the pussy pass to this girl? I thought wymyn these days were supposed to be all about the equality and whatnot. If it's ok to do something to a boy, it's okay to do it to a girl. If you want a blanket condemnation of corporal punishment if you want to give her a pass because of her (mild, unnoticeable) disability, fine. But to do it because of gender? Ridiculous.

    This varies by jurisdiction. I have been involved with a multi-state case. In one of them, closed doors. In the other, open court.

    But even in 'open' court, the relevant decisions and discussions were made in chambers, with the trial(s) being just for show.
