So you feel that you have the right to judge the value of someone's life as inferior to your because he has more money than you and spent it to create something he wanted? "Bell is managing partner of Marc Bell Capital and chairman of Terran Orbital, a company that manufactures satellite components for NASA, and was also a producer of Broadway’s Jersey Boys and Rock of Ages, among other shows." It seems the majority of the money is in collection of Star Trek memorabilia. Just how is this any different than some one that has a car collection, aircraft collection, or an art collection? Really over all at this point you just seem to be trying to make yourself feel better about your life. You are looking down on someone because they do not live the same way you do. That makes you a snob. It is just that you are a poor snob and not a rich snob.
'Of course, such accumulations would have to be quite significant to make hydrogen gas produced by serpentinization a viable fuel source.'
If it is on the mid atlantic ridge it will be very difficult to drill for most of the ridge is really deep far deeper than the continental shelf. Now if the Hydrogen is near one of the Islands on the mid atlantic ridge then it could be reachable. Then you have the problem of transport. You can liquify it but it is will still have a very low energy density plus people will tend to freak out over giant tankers filled with Hydrogen. Then you have hydrogen embrittlement to deal with and that makes hydrogen transportation a real pain. Over all if it is not at an island it will be too deep to use.
Just how different does a shoe have to be? What is the difference between an illegal copy and one that is just very close in style? Are they fakes? Using the same name? If so that is clearly illegal. Do they violate any patents? If so then it is clearly illegal. Do they violate copyright law? If so is that valid? Do they violate any trademarks?
I see this being an issue because now you can not buy Birkenstocks on Amazon so you might as well buy the next best thing.
And he is in Russia as a guest of the government. Russia a nation of with a long history of respecting privacy and an individuals freedom. Sorry but does anyone not know that even your PC and your car uses a soft switch?
"The employees are not getting any of these excessive profits." What is an excessive profit? John Deere has a profit margin of 6.29%. Apple has a profit margin of 20.80%. Microsoft has a profit margin of around %18. Whole Foods profit margin is 4.1% which is 66% of John Deere. Also employees of John Deere get bonuses and profit sharing. https://www.deere.com/en_US/co... The benefit package is actually really good. So what facts are you basing anything you are saying? Just what you have heard?
That is why I said that the summary could be wrong and it looks like it is. As to knowing what is needed for life we do know that just do not know the limits yet. The questions about life on a planet around a red dwarf are interesting to say the least. Would the spectrum allow for photosynthesis? How well would it penetrate an ocean? Also the fact that a red dwarf could be stable for a very long time is also interesting as far as the development of intelligent life goes.
The employees that work for the tractor makers. The people that own the stores that the employees of the tractor maker shop. The teachers that are paid with the taxes paid by the tractor makers and the people that work at the factory..... You know all those well paid union works with good jobs in manufacturing that are become harder and harder to find in the US.
I do not think they sell anything at a loss. I think this is very much the same issue as cpu binning and turning features on and off in software. I bet that JD limits the power in some of the tractor motors in software. It could be so they can sell the same unit at a higher power output for more money or it could be to cut down on warranty claims. Jet engine makers do the same thing.
I went and looked at the Yahoo home page and it is terrible. It is like the National Enquire vomited on People magazine not to mention the sponsored links. They need some quality control IMHO or maybe I am just not their target.
Maybe red dwarfs systems tend to come from parent stars that produce few elements? Just a guess since this is not my field of course the story could just be totally wrong about that. I have little faith in Slashdot summaries and I did not find that statement in the post from NASA.
"An article on Motherboard today investigates the reasons why people didn't go "oh-my-god, that was awesome" looking at the CGI-based scenes in the recent movies such as Independence Day: Resurgence, Batman v Superman and X-Men: Apocalypse. " Out of those three I only saw Batman v Superman. The problem was that it just wasn't good. Yes we are past the point where CGI alone will make us happy. Take a look at Captain America Civil war for example. It was chocked full of special effects but it also had some kind of story and frankly a sense of humor.
"Have an old legacy proprietary DOS program that you need for your business? Then throw it into/dev/null, and hire some talented programmers to write a modern free open-source replacement for GNU/Linux, that will get published on github."
Let me explain why this is not as easy as it sounds. Let's say you run a mobil tool truck business and have been using a POS and inventory control system that runs on DOS for 30 years or so. It does everything you need. It is paid for and it works. So you thing they should pay a talented programer to replace it. 1. What do they know about hiring a programer? 2. What do they know about writing specs. 3. What do they know about documentation? 4. What do they know about QA. 5. What they have works so what do they get for paying a few thousand dollars to make a new system that does what the old system does?
At the time micros where almost exclusively single user machines. You booted up the machine and it was yours. IBM did not want to eat into the much more profitable mini computer market or heaven forbid the 360/370 market. They went after the Apple, TRS-80, PET, and CP/M market. They also did not try to touch the Commodore VIC-20 and Atari market. IBM actually was price competitive with the other machines in that segment plus had the name IBM on it. It was not a great computer but it was good enough. Yes using a 68000 would have been a much better choice but the 68008 was not yet available and the 68000 was seen as too expensive. That is why the PC used the 8088 instead of the 8086.
Today it seems like the only software people are willing to pay for are games, super expensive high end tools, and Microsoft Office. Everything else people expect for free.
" The word "hello" rose from obscurity as it filled a need created by a radical new technology: the telephone." The word and it came about organically it did not happen with a committee. The fact that they are trying to cover every variation to be politically correct.
Using this for Nukes is dumb. The advantage is that you could make a first strike at DC and take out the command structure but TACAMO should still be functioning. Now using conventional weapons from space makes a lot more sense. Russia could try and use it to take out our missile defense system or even an Ohio calls sub in port. A 1000 pounds (353 kg for the metric nazis) of tungsten at 15,000 mph (24140 kph for the metric nazis) could do a world of hurt to a sub or a ship. Ten 100 lb weapons at the same speed do a job on an airbase or radar site.
The problem with the PI is the ethernet performance. I uaed aTP-LINK with WRT as a bridge for my XBox 360 and it worked just fine. The new FCC rules are going to make life difficult for WRT going forward but Linksys is still still supporting it but they are not cheap. As I said you could use an Android phone for projects involving GPIO and even and Ethernet. Yes you have to make sure it will work but it can be done. I just got a PI3 and it is pretty good. I have have a few projects I am plaining on doing with the PI as well. This board really interests me http://www.newegg.com/Product/...
Yes it is more expensive, bigger, and uses more power than a PI but it is also more powerful, offers SATA and better USB IO than the PI, and a COM port header. It does lack GPIO but you could add a parallel port card for digital IO or use Arduino like boards to expand the IO. No it is not a solution for your project but boy does it make for an interesting idea for a NAS, Router/Firewall, or even a digital audio entertainment system. Too bad it lacks an HDMI but you could add a GPU.
You could us USB-OTG with a smartphone to add GIO and https://www.amazon.com/Plugabl... ethernet. The Pi is probably a better solution for say CNC machine and frankly for your wifi bridge I would suggest one of the old TP-Link Wifi Routers running wrt. You will bet much better performance than the PI using the shared USB ethernet on the Pi.
I mean people used to make up emojis and now we have committees to from standards and graphic artists designing them and people debating them. Take the time and money and do something that matters even a little. I am still waiting for the one eyed bisexual Episcopalian Kangaroo emoji.

Never heard about that movie. Well it is 12 years old and got under 20% on Rotten Tomatoes so their is probably a pretty good reason.
