If by "soyuz", you mean the manned vehicle, it has had two loss-of-crew accidents
The most recent of which was over 40 years ago. Not a single Cosmonaut lost since.
Remind me again how many men and women NASA has lost since then? And even the Space Shuttle was better tested than the SpaceX's vehicle.
But if you want to keep on being a typical arrogant American cocksucker, who thinks your shit doesn't stink and everything with a fucking American flag on it must be the GREATEST GODDAMNED THING IN THE FUCKING WORLD, then be my guest. Just don't be surprised when everyone who isn't American spits on you when they find out where you're from.
Copernicus finally agreed to give De revolutionibus to his close friend, Tiedemann Giese, bishop of Chemno (Kulm), to be delivered to Rheticus for printing by the German printer Johannes Petreius at Nuremberg (Nürnberg)
No, it's designed to give them false hope of a career in professional gaming--to go along with their false hopes of careers as movie stars, rap/rock stars, fashion icons, and sports legends.
The Cold War is over. Trying to bring it back won't result in a new space race. More likely, it will just lead to WWIII and a near future where space is the least of our worries.
I know that's an unpopular viewpoint on Slashdot (where Elon Musk is a god who can do no wrong). But SpaceX isn't ready to just "take over." Soyuz has a rock solid safety record and is much more versatile. SpaceX's design is still largely untested, particularly with human cargo.
If they try to push too hard too soon, people are going to get killed.
It only had half the capacity (25 GB) because the format didn't last long enough for them to start manufacturing dual-layered versions. And the Xbox 360 could only play HD-DVD movies, not games (all 360 games are on standard DVD's).
Yeah, but by 1983 it was a learning exercise more than a day-to-day reality. A lot of college programs still make their students take COBOL today. But I wouldn't call 2014 "The COBOL era."
Not just her, but also the members of the House Financial Services Committee who she's testifying before. They're putting on a nice dog-and-pony show of looking like they give a shit. But at the end of the day--they're going to do nothing, go home, and collect nice fat campaign contributions from the very crooks that the SEC is supposed to be stopping (and fat high-paying jobs from them when they leave Congress too).
All part of the circus to convince the gullible American people that Congress represents *them*, and not just the oligarchy.
As unpopular as it is to say here on HTML-5-worshiping Slashdot, it's true. Flash can still do a lot of things that are either impossible on other platforms, or which suck on other platforms. Try implementing the average Flash game in HTML 5 (can't do it at all) or Java (can do it, but it will bring your system to a crawl) sometime.
Don't shoot the messenger just because you wish the message weren't true.
Except that movie was a bunch of horseshit, as are most of the rumors that float around about fast food ingredients. Eating McDonalds for 30 days will not make you fucking sick. Hell, I lived off Dominoes and Ramen noodles in college for *years* and never got as sick as Spurlock pretended to be to get a distributor for his shitty movie.
Is it WISE to eating nothing but fast food? Fuck no, of course not! But does anyone really need to be told that eating a single type of food for every meal, every day is not particularly healthy? Maybe if they're fucking retarded.
And if you want to just blame McD's food here, I'll tell you what. I'll eat McD's for 30 days and you eating nothing but leafy salads and let's see who feels better at the end.

You forgot this sentence which followed:

Want internet? You can have either Comcast or AT&T. Choose one.

ISS isn't space. It's a LEO publicity stunt. The moon is space. Mars is space. ISS is just a jobs program, and a way to justify funding.

I'm still mourning HD-DVD. All the goodness of blu-ray but without the region coding.
Bend over and take it boys! Hope your anus is been pre-stretched!
I'm a Comcast customer. I can assure you that my anus is more than capable of taking anything at this point.

That was in the 60's and early 70's.

And then the sheriff arrests the state police and round and round.
I don't think the sheriff and his four deputies would fare too well in that scenario, though it might be fun to watch (from a safe distance).
Tell me those are still okay, PLEASE!!!
No, the state will just send in the state police to arrest the city council and seize the city's assets.
Sure, you could download an exe file. No security risk there.

Be sure to include lots of 'plosions and farting aliens!
Yeah, let's have a look at how young and energetic he feels after 30 days of no protein or carbohydrates.
i am one of those that has 150+ tabs open at the same time on occasion and on my machine FF just can't handle that
Funny, I am one of those "Open in new window" guys who still prefers new windows over tabs. I'm beginning to think I'm the only one.

Hell, if I were going to go that far, I'd move to Europe and get REAL internet speeds.
Umm, no. It's way more expensive to run miles of fibre per customer than yards of fibre per customer.
That doesn't explain the shitty prices and service in urban areas in the U.S., only the rural ones.
The private corporations already own Congress, the Presidency, and the Supreme Court. May as well own the rest of it too.
