  1. Don't give too much credit to what he says on Russian Official Calls For "International Investigation" of the Apollo Program · · Score: 1

    He is just a moron. A Putin's moron to be exact.

  2. Re:15 Days? That's all? on Kernel Developer Dmitry Monakhov Arrested For Protesting Ukraine Invasion · · Score: 1

    In Russia, disobeying a police officer (more exactly "disobeying a legitimate order by a police officer") is the most common charge against people who dare to criticize official policy on public. Basically, if they can't charge you with anything significant for some reason (or just don't want to), they use the "disobeying..." charge. It does not mean that person charged actually violated any law.

  3. Re:Could this be on Proton-M Rocket Carrying Russia's Most Advanced Satellite Crashes · · Score: 1

    Oh right, everything that's failing in Russia (and that's just less than EVERYTHING), fails because of American sabotage...

  4. Re:More government control, that's the ticket on Proton-M Rocket Carrying Russia's Most Advanced Satellite Crashes · · Score: 1

    Right, as if Russians did not make one giant government-backed Moon project of their own -- the project that failed spectacuarly.

  5. Re:Does it really matter? on Virgin Galactic Passengers May Just Miss Going into Space · · Score: 1

    You can experience weightlessnes at pretty low altitudes (5-6 miles) for about 2-3% of the cost Virgin charges. Google for "zero g aircraft".

  6. Re:End of Blogging in Russia on Russia Quietly Passes Anti-Blogger Law · · Score: 1

    Actually, relevant law - to allow out-of-the-country connections to a couple of state-run providers, which would filter/block everything prohibited - is already under consideration. Just wait...

  7. Re:Russia you were so close on Russia Quietly Passes Anti-Blogger Law · · Score: 1

    I'd say the root cause is Russian people.

  8. Re:Russia you were so close on Russia Quietly Passes Anti-Blogger Law · · Score: 1

    You say "same law" -- what does it say, exactly? Also, you need to see it in perspective. For example, Russian lawmakers recently passed a law that gives prosecution the right to block websites without trial. And many websites are already blocked just because local prosecutor wants them closed -- mostly those with views that do not follow official propaganda.

  9. Re:Russia is invading eastern Ukraine on US Should Use Trampolines To Get Astronauts To the ISS Suggests Russian Official · · Score: 2

    : Until someone can prove that the referendum was done under duress, or the vote was rigged, why will no one accept the Crimean's decision? Putin himself admitted recently that the anonymous "people in green uniform" that seized power in Crimea were in fact Russian military. So that's about duress. As for rigging vote -- Russian authorities routinely do that in Russia on all levels -- from presidential down to local communal elections, so what is to prevent them from doing it on occupied territory?

  10. Re:Russia is invading eastern Ukraine on US Should Use Trampolines To Get Astronauts To the ISS Suggests Russian Official · · Score: 1

    When replying to the kind of stuff this Archtech is posting, bear in mind, that what is effectivly Russian ministry of propaganda employs scores of jackasses to monitor all kinds of discussion media (web forums, blogs, etc.) and drown them with pro-Putin lies. This is actually a big problem for all independent sources in Russia that publish anything even remotely politics-related and try to keep the discussion open to general public.

  11. Re:Their business model sucked on How the USPS Killed Digital Mail · · Score: 1

    So you did not read the actual article thus know nothing about how Outbox operated, but do condemn them, right?

  12. Re:American company on American Judge Claims Jurisdiction Over Data Stored In Other Countries · · Score: 1

    And if an American company keeps customer data in paper files in a storage facility in another country -- do they have to turn over that data too?

  13. Well, technically on 3 Former Astronauts: Earth-Asteroid Collisions Are a Real But Preventable Danger · · Score: 2

    no one can be called "astronaut" unless they travelled to another star system

  14. Re:Myopic viewpoint on Mercedes Pooh-Poohs Tesla, Says It Has "Limited Potential" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Mercedes has a depth of engineering expertise that Tesla can only dream of having.

    Right, Mercedes does have a depth of engineering expertise in internal combustion engines and transmissions. Make a wild guess if Tesla would ever need that.

    Tesla is a con job. It is a bunch of laptop batteries stuck in a Lotus chassis and it is a TOY, not a car which can actually be used to go anywhere in the world.

    a) what you say shows that you now nothing about Model S;
    b) very few people need a car that can be used to go anywhere in the world

  15. Re:Talk is cheap on Russia Wants To Establish a Permanent Moon Base · · Score: 0

    Current Russian space program is just a tool to steal budget money.

  16. The guy is demented... on Russia Wants To Establish a Permanent Moon Base · · Score: 1

    Just a few hours ago he said that by 2020 Russian army will be one of the most hi-tech and powerful armies in the world. Yeah. Not as crazy as colonization of the Moon, Mars and asteroids, but out of touch with reality nevertheless.

  17. that's just bad translation on Russian Government Takes Over Country's 289-year Old Scientific Academy · · Score: 1

    Think of it as an institute for communications studies.
