If you're going to troll, at least put some heart into it!
I'd be concerned about radiation doses... I would imagine the Soyuz is only shielded for flight being more-or-less within Earth's magneosphere, but the moon is another story.
No... For the past 50 years they've been concentrating on *treatment* not *cures*. Because they don't want a one time sale... they want an annuity.
If Salk hadn't of cured Polio when he did, we wouldn't have a cure for it.... nope, we'd have a dozen different drugs to allow people to live better with it.
Most of the bodies in the solar system are on orbits that bring them close to other objects of similar or larger mass, thus their orbits are always being perturbed without us doing anything.
I think we'll all agree that NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab has one of the, if not *the*, best planetary empherides ever created anywhere at anytime. And they won't project the orbits of major planets too far into the future because of the natural uncertainties of orbits.
If they'd gone in and said "we need $1 billion for these rovers" they would have gotten shot down. Instead they go in and say "we only need $800 million".
Then once they get the rovers up there and they're still working they go back and say "Hey, we've got more science to do. You can give us $200 million to continuing to operate these rovers, or we can spend another $800 million a couple of years from now for another pair of rovers". Guess what? They get the $200 million.
And it's good for the finance people too... because the probability of success on that $200 is almost 100% (the most dangerous portions of the mission are launch, cruise, and landing), while the probability of success on that new $800 million mission is much less than 100%.
NASA couldn't get funding for the "Grand Tour" of hitting all of the outer planets (except for Pluto)... all they could get approval for was Jupiter and Saturn.
And so design of the probes and trajectories were done for the full "Grand Tour", but the engineers only published trajectories for the abbreviated mission. Once they got past Saturn (already on the trajectory they needed for the rest of the tour) they started talking about how they just happened to be on course and suddenly the money appeared.
you have to take into account it will be built by people with a 6th grade education... Better double the number of connections in case it's being assembled on a Monday morning after an weekend-long bender.
If in the first year the farmer's field is infected (due to no cause of his own) with 1% patented plants, I think we'll all agree that he is blameless.
Let's say that he sprays all of his land with RoundUp so that the only thing left is 100% patented plants. Legal? Of course.
Now lets say he lets the plants do what they do best... grow. And he does nothing more than spray RoundUp every year. As the plants multiply eventually they'll fill his land up with 100% patented plants. Legal? Your first instinct might be to say no, but then you're holding the farmer guilty for doing *nothing* more than watching the sun rise.
The question is if he gathers that 1% and uses it to seed 100% of his crop the following year, is he still blameless?
The big advantage my old trusty 15C has for me is dedicated A-F keys for doing hex math. This new HP suffers the same problem that the 48SX/GX has: you need to do the friggin' "Alpha shift" key before every hex digit.
No thanks man... if it doesn't have dedicated A-F keys it ain't no programmers calculator.
It puts out a fire by cooling the combusting materials. The data sheet takes pains to point out that this is different from halon systems that deprive the fire of oxygen.
"Wiretapping" refers to the concept of intercepting electronic communications. The actual method, whether it's touch tones, voice, text, whatever does effect the legal concept. It's all the same kettle of fish.
It's illegal to snoop other folks network traffic unless you have a legal reason to be snooping:
a) You're law enforcement with a warrant
b) You're an admin doing network maintenance where the snooping is incidental to performing your work.
If the program has a "Save function" then the Judge ruled the user has a lower expectation of privacy than if the program doesn't have a "Save function".
The case at hand involved software that didn't have a built-in save function, but the cop used a camcorder and another software package to record the session.
Read the Red Mars/Blue Mars/Green Mars trilogy (by Kim Stanley Robinson I think).
In his story the distribute all over mars small loaf-of-bread-sized windmills which power a small heater unit. In the heater unit is algae that converts the atmosphere. As the algae mutates to become more adapted to the temperature it spreads further from the windmill heater unit, until there are large endless mats of adapted algae spreading across the surface.

check the facts yourself!
There is no DSN tracking pass today, so the high res images won't even be in JPL's hot little hands until tomorrow afternoon.
and the first thing people asked me was "Where did you move from?" Turns out any answer other than "California" is acceptable.
Linus should tell people he's moving there from Europe. It's a safe answer!

The law enforcement people are going to squeal like pigs over this because it'll prevent them from trolling.
They don't have anything approaching good cause for a warrant, so they troll trying to entrap somebody into giving them a reason to get a warrant.
Because investigating real crime is hard work compared to chatting on IRC.

At this rate she could take a bike tour of the US and Canada and be wined & dined by a continent full of geeks.
