We just dodged that bullet in 2012 too

The national defense implications are huge, namely because it is down to the random odds of which side of the earth is facing the sun at any particular moment.
"The scientists found that even six months after radiation exposure, the rodents still were suffering from brain inflammation and neural damage. Neurons sported fewer dendrites and spines, which meant their neural networks were less interconnected than in a healthy brain.
On behavioral tasks, the rodents exposed to radiation performed poorly on tests of learning and memory. Their ability to suppress unpleasant and stressful associations also declined — an effect that could make someone prone to anxiety over a multiyear trip to the Red Planet and back."

..but I love it for its crypto-weirdness.
"a speed of 180 bits per minute, fast enough to steal a 4,096-bit key in about 25 minutes."
Have fun with that.
...all 1/8" stereo jacks are being removed from ALL devices EVERYWHERE BECAUSE DRM AND EVIL RECORD COMPANIES!!
Now, i am certainly no supporter of DRM or fanatical rights holders, but at the same time there is more in the world than just iPhones and Apple crap you know...
...back in the 80s, because if it were available today I would be VERY interested in getting one, as I imagine many others would be.
I am not interested in the JetPack or flying car or anything else, because I think their form factor is inferior to the Williams Intl. X-JET design seen here in this product promotional video from the 1980s.

Yeah THE ROOM!! That is definitely one of the most Myst influenced (and amazingly cool!) games I've ever played.
If you haven't tried it, you really, really, should!

...as long as humans are involved it will always get cocked up somehow. The NSA isn't nearly as omnipotent or as all knowing as these "press releases" would have you think (just imagine how many other Snowdens are out there right now?) but often it is simply crass incompetence which is to blame. All organizations must deal with this to one degree or another, and the larger the organization, the greater the chance for human error.
I think the developer and many others are missing the crucial problem with this product and with this type of idea in general: interacting with a watch that does anything more than tell the time and date makes the wearer appear to be a giant dork.
This has not changed since the days of the early 80s calculator watch; any consumer foolish enough to bring attention to their “cool watch” is immediately singled out as a dork, nerd, geek, or generally friendless loner/brainiac type.
Don’t even get me started on TALKING into your watch.
Hubble: Timelapse of V838 Monocerotis (2002-2006) [1080p] "The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has been observing the V838 Mon light echo since 2002. Each new observation of the light echo reveals a new and unique "thin-section" through the interstellar dust around the star. This video morphs images of the light echo from the Hubble taken at multiple times between 2002 and 2006. The numerous whorls and eddies in the interstellar dust are particularly noticeable. Possibly they have been produced by the effects of magnetic fields in the space between the stars."

First read it twenty years ago, liked it so much I put it on my car where it remains to this day.
I'll be the first to admit it's not for everyone, much like Pynchon in general I suppose, or even the supposed "best" of his catalog, but it certainly was for the book for me. There is also a sequel of sorts called Inherent Vice, not bad.

....looking at that page using Mosaic back in 93 or so. And of course Gopher, which mostly died out as HTML came on the scene.
I mean, "WATTS" the point otherwise?

...about the NSA-PRISMS program (for example),is that 80 percent of its resources are spent dealing with spam.
