By then the companies making the current stuff will be out of parts for the current stuff and looking with hungry eyes at the money for the new stuff. And of course will be way way way ahead of anyone else in knowing exactly what will win the bid for the new stuff.
The stuff will change. The directionality of the pork flow won't.
Apparently, desktop versions will be more pad-like than windows-like.
Server version with "GUI optional" implies you install the GUI package and get on with your workstationy stuff.
As for 7 to 8, it looks like a whole new paradigm. Windows 7 is still, in look and feel, a windows-on-a-desktop-analog GUI in the Xerox PARC mold. The pad paradigm is a whole new kettle of fishsticks, even if you're using a mouse and keyboard instead of your digits.
Solid rocket propulsion is inappropriate for manned spaceflight.
Anything that gives you good dE for your dm is appropriate for any kind of spaceflight, as long as you can control it.
The shuttle's SRBs had one catastrophic failure in 30 years. And that sort of failure could have happened to a liquid system. Heck, a liquid system could have cryo-borked its own o-rings without freak weather getting involved. And...(and this one's a slight stretch)...it was actually a combination failure. If the massive liquid tank hadn't been sitting right there to be blasted by the escaping gases from the unfortunately positioned defect in the SRB, all that would have happened is the SRB would have thrusted funny (but only if the proceeding reaction didn't cause it to explode on its own...)
Putting people into space is dangerous. There are ways to mitigate the dangers. Solid rocket propulsion has its uses.
the spending should benefit everyone indiscriminately
Long ago proved to be a false goal.
Spending that benefits some directly and others indirectly and some barely is spending you can manage. Trying to make sure that you, personally, see a tangible benefit from every dollar of spending is a limitation that no budgetary process can tolerate.
As for the rules, they are: 1. Congress may tax you as it chooses. 2. Congress may spend as it chooses. The treasury is thiers, not yours.
There are no other rules, as long as they don't somehow violate other binding parts of the Constitution in the process. Anything you think should hold is an assumption, a personal desire, a long piss in the blustery wind of politics.
>From what I've read, you're supposed to randomly lie or tell the truth on the easy questions they ask at the start to gauge your response.
Which is not calibrating the machine for what you think it is..
It's not actually a lie detector so much as a fear detector.
You don't fear being caught telling the lies you're telling at their request. They're not looking for a range, there. They're baselining the machine, and you.
Later, when you really do start lying about the things they're going to nail you for, the needles will jump.
Much more fun to rush out the crazy failure mode, and then not provide in-tool documentation, but expect everyone to have read J. Random Blog for training.

But it assumes the command name is sufficient to understand what it operates on.
Probably 70% as useful as "man -k" ever was.
But does it load like a true directory structure, or does it load like one big file?
I mean, if you're going to change one value at the end of a long registry path, does your disk spool for a tenth of a second or for 30 seconds?

on your smartphone?
computer makers didn't want to spend a dime to add a switch and a wire to every case, if it didn't help people steal music or view pr0n or frag n00bs.
name them
so every config file object inherits an interface with grep/sed/whatever on it?
it better, or i'm going to have to hack around it

its command list will exceed 2,300 native commandlets
Holy fuck. I don't even know how to process that number of commands to remember.
NASA: hundreds of flights of dozens of platforms and mission profiles, and an edict to do good for us all.
Space-X: not so much.
it's a tiny fraction of what we've spent sending people to South Asia in the past decade. a few months' worth.
Because that can't do what this does.

Prisons get $8 billion. NASA gets about $18 billion.
So, what we really need to do here is...spend more on Science and Math education...
This will have less lift capacity than the Saturn V or the shuttle
Half right. Read TFA.
make sure that the factories in their home districts stay doing the exact same thing
Only until 2017. Read TFS.

Best part of that (so far): whoever coded that widget made the rollover info box STAY OUT OF THE WAY OF THE CURSOR.
(Standing ovation.)
Dude is totally underestimating the value of the shuttle.
He should know oh so much better.
Ask him how Hubble would have got up there--and got repaired--without it.
I just drive up to the mountains.
Things like that generally cost more to shut down and power back up than the power you use letting them run the screensaver.

who said i was travelling?
and who said i was a jew?
