The Russians are the best at heavy lift, the Canadians are the best at robotics. There is no point in the US trying to reinvent the wheel. Leave those technologies to them and focus NASA funding elsewhere.
Windows-only shops may tolerate you insisting on SUA, because it's a Microsoft product.
Start talking about CygWin or VMs and their eyes glaze over, they suck their thumbs, and moan "Wasn't on my MCSE, hippies will eat me, wasn't on my MCSE, hippies will eat me."
I know that there's not really any significant difference in support terms (other than not getting the flakey almost-POSIX and BSODs that continue to burden SUA), and that they'd be better off switching to a native POSIX environment anyway, but the man with the ear of the man with the money doesn't want his "skill" set to be devalued overnight. And that's why SUA still has (had) a place.
Emissions = Hitler. Can you list them? If the word "carbon" appears anywhere in a list of emissions from a fuel produced by cracking atmospheric CO2, then please don't bother.
It's so obvious that it's stated clearly in the article that you didn't bother reading. Hit Submit and run like hell works pretty well on Slashdot, right?
"The" building? What, you think Mitsubishi is one single big building containing all of its global employees, development, admin, sales and support? And that none of them need to be able to communicate with anyone outside. You know, their customers? Is that really what you think? That it's "that simple"?
So how about an article that documents the effect on us, the customers, not on speculators and investors?
Here, let me get that for you:
Customers can still subscribe to both, but the two sites will not be integrated anymore. [...] Separating the businesses will also force customers to make a choice
Doesn't mean that they can kill me twelve times though, any more than they can get $675,000 out of this crazy hippy who thought a tenured law professor had any idea how a courtroom works in real life.
These numbers are just completely meaningless - any fine over a few tens of thousands of dollars is never going to be paid by a regular human. Might as well fine him infinity Quatloos and be done with it.
Crib notes: what they have is a device that they claim generates 45 microwatts in the lab, from the same artificially efficient frequencies that they belittle other devices for relying on. They don't have a device that generates their target 100 microwatts, not even in the lab, not even at their ideal artificial frequencies.
So, short summary: they don't have a useful device, and they don't have anything beyond "plans" to make it work.
The only valid test is deployment. The only valid result is full functionality.
I've been in a tech company that was poised for an IPO just before the sub-prime bubble burst and rained on everyone's parade. An external firm was brought in to handle it, took one look at the books, and told us that we were, to paraphrase only very slightly, having a laugh.
A business model based on growing on private investment rather than revenue, vastly over-inflated self estimate of worth, and years of accounting sleights of hand were easily rooted out.
Sight unseen, I'd suspect - OK, to be honest, hope - that Facebook is in a similar situation. They may have to go through a few firms before they find out willing to take them to market with a multi billion dollar cap and a straight face.
They can and do. Bees are less specialised than ants and termites. Sorry for interrupting, please continue with your home-spun folksy gut-feeling science-talk.
Exoplanet is just exo- sorry, techno-babble. Are we still so tentative about the concept of planets around other stars that the word needs to be qualified? I'm fairly sure that Flash Gordon and Lensmen just visited regular old fantastical planets, not "exo" planets.
Having been through US immigration recently, I can attest that "Fear can sometimes be the fear of not being believed rather than the fear of being caught." is putting it mildly. The TSA goon managed to misinterpret me so many times that I started to doubt my own story. He was either a genius, or a tard, but either way he didn't seem even remotely human, so if we can replace him with a very small shell script, go to it.
So maybe that is what he is planning, a massive ad campaign for renewable energy without anything concrete to show for it.
I dunno, how massive are we talking? As far as I can see, there's already some big money in the ever expanding greenwashing market. He's really going to have to push the boat out on the free range dolphin friendly carbon capture electrons spiel to make an impact.
On balance, I'm marginally in favour of the coffin dodgers, since they at least did something creative 50 years ago. On the other side are the mooing masses who can barely a cogent sentence together put.
Anyone who pays their mortgage and their kids' dental bills from creative works, raise your hand. The rest of you, pick our pockets while our hands are up. Not that you need an invitation.
This was one white European guy, so he matters far more than they do.
That's racist, sir. Racist. France employs a lot of North African immigrants to do dirty, dangerous work, it's far too early to jump to conclusions about whether we should care about the corpse.

The catering?
Hey, I've got a mineshaft full of heavy water out back that I'm not using for anything, zap some of those bad boys in my direction.

And what will happen to all those "defensive" patents that they've been filing?
If you obtain software patents, you're the enemy. No exceptions, no compromises.
So, you agree that they don't actually have a workable solution, and are just pimping for funding?

Pause. Apply brain. Type.
Get Obi Wan to try and convince Spock that midichlorians exist. It'll end in bloodshed, red or green.
That's just the sort of peacenik pinko-drivel I'd expect to hear from a Bablyon 5 fan. J'accuse.
Correction: one of them is a series of SF films, the other is a documentary.

Note that the CTRC are still "requesting" and that Rogers are still in denial. I think I know who's going to blink first on this one.
Please compare the trillions we've spanked on greenwashing based on their predicted temperature rises versus the actual observed changes.
Someone other than us should be paying.
The rest of you, continue with your humdrum ranting.
Sure is!
Say, my cat can do differential calculus, when nobody else is around.
If you want me to believe your monkey tale, don't call me a liar.
