When I had to run all my software everywhere I went, I had a MacBook Pro - one of the good ones, 17" with all the ports. Given my current pared-down road requirements, I use an iMac in the office plus an iPad on the road, for about the same price. Much less mobile hassle.
Don't you realize how filthy aquatic farms are? I don't want one within 100m of my food.
You must never have been to France. When you buy a trout in a poissonnière the clerk scoops one out of a live tank, guts and slices it right there, and wraps it up still vibrating.
Seconded, and double that down when - not if - we have to resort to such things as seeding the oceans with iron-sulfur nutrients to grow carbon-gobbling algae.
If you really want to make an AGW priest squirm, mention the success of the Haida experiment.
I'm still getting Slashdot email notifications on my iPhone for responses to the virus-infected dick pics with my name, email address and website URL...
Gosh - get well quick! No more vacations in Southeast Asia for you.
Yes, we descended Reykjadalur on the first day after climbing Hengill, as well as touring the Hellisheiði power plant. Snow and sleet in June, and I've never seen so many different shades of moss.
After playing ambient music as it cruised through space after booster separation, the second stage executed a successful short burn to raise its orbit. In about five minutes it will try releasing satellites.
Shannon's Law was directed specifically at celebratory gunfire, such as firing into the air for New Year. This is a feature of, um, a certain culture. Shannon was a young girl who went outside with her family to see the New Year in and suddenly dropped dead of a round that had been fired miles away.
An incredibly scenic country, and kudos for the well-done hiking trails. Now if only you could teach the British to build trails that were not designed to funnel rain directly down the trail to create a mud bog at every local low point.
And your whales are really tasty - like filet mignon.
I know people who were really helped by chiropractic, but when they did some searching to find out more about the theory behind it, were shocked by finding a swamp of swill about e energy channels and subluxations.
If chiropractic makes your back feel better, don't make the mistake of asking more about it.
Then the satellites can kill you as if it is a meteorite.
Of all the fears about space junk, this one is the silliest. A satellite contains a high percentage of empty space, like a ship. When one deorbits, it burns up. Although s meteor is a solid chunk of rock or iron in contrast, very few of them survive to become meteorites.
Just how low is low orbit? For geostationary I think you get around 250ms latency just to hit the satellite.
Geosynchronous would be the easy way to do it, but a low-orbit constellation is the price of reducing latency to tolerable values. A part of that price will be designing a compact receiver that can deal with two-way communications with moving satellites.
However, the key element of civil disobedience is accepting the designated punishment, as when Martin Luther King went to jail in the South for eating at whites-only lunch counters, thus focusing moral dudgeon on discriminatory laws.
vigilantes don't get to decide how that's done at the expense of other people's rights
The IP in this case should properly belong to the author of each paper. It is they who should not be forced to air their research through a gouging monopolist "because it's traditional."
"Really, half the western world won't eat anything genetically modified or touched by any form of chemical, thus requiring additional farming space. Conversely, the rest of the world will eat anything rather than go hungry, but the per acre production isn't high enough to produce enough."
Neither group is going to colonize space. It will be those of us who are most accepting of technology, from the robots that prepare the way for us to the heavily genetically modified species that will be our food to the energy sources we will have to use.
Exploring new places and developing whatever tech it takes to survive there is worthwhile because each new colony represents a new place for us to put our eggs in, not because there was ever any instance of 'everyone has to move there'. Every group of people living in a new place, be it Massachusetts or McMurdo Bay or Mars, gets to discover new things and organize in potentially interesting new ways. If a colony becomes self-sustaining, it can develop brainpower that influences the older world, as in Ben Franklin being ambassador to France.

What helps a lot there is the infinite free hot water. Keeping greenhouses warm is just as big a problem in cold climates as the lack of winter light.

Capitalism is evil. We should be spending this on food for the hungry and cancer instead.
The whole lame 'priorities' argument doesn't apply to private-sector projects. Go harass some government program.
First satellite just deployed, with more coming at 100-sec intervals.

That's being very theoretical. Universities pressure researchers into publishing in journals they considered prestigious.
It's not just publish or perish, it's publish in the right places or perish.

Oh come on, Silicon Valley is libertarian central. You're thinking of Berkeley.
The legal system of the People's Republic of California still applies.
Hit the gym, and make an effort to always look your best. Keep yourself safe by always waiting for the woman to make the first move. Worked for me,
Please, don't proliferate satellites.
The satellites that go up will go down.

True enough if you define every rural off-cable spot in the world as a 'corner case.'

Elsevier is a Dutch company. Fear the Hook of Holland!
Swartz could have made a major civil disobedience point by going to prison. As it was, he killed himself before even going to trial.

We're in space. There is this thin layer of atmosphere confusing you about your location.
But AC is safe because he's hiding under one of the turtles.
