Generally, we have people who don't understand the material arguing before an arbitrator who doesn't understand the material to get a decision from a group of people who don't understand the material. We call these decisions 'precedent'.
You probably do need that much lift to get the parts up for a real rotating space station.
But, all things being equal, if you have a dozen geosync satellites to put up, loading them all onto one craft, with some extra propellant for final placement is going to be cheaper than doing a dozen separate launches.
No, but if you succeed in getting rid of the government and creating a "utopia" where the rich and powerful rule like kings--we're certainly all going to find out.
Rich and powerful don't rule like kings without governments creating and defending the corporations that allow that to happen. Intended cause and effect.
Back in the day... a bully problem could be solved simply by beating the crap out of the bully. Today... the kid who fights back gets expelled and his/her parents get sued.
H.L. Mencken proposed that the correct solution is to try such individuals to see if their behavior was appropriate. The jury would be able to 'acquit with honor' the individual if it was justified. Our current system says that every such action is prohibited because only the State has the right to act in such ways. That kind of thinking has brought us to the present state. It's chronological ethnocentrism to conclude that or present state is the best possible state.
The most significant difference between Fedora and Ubuntu here is that in Fedora, the only time you're likely to see a release name is on a Slashdot article, and then if you look at/etc/issue*. Everybody else calls it Fedora 17. In Ubuntuland everybody calls the release by at least the noun part of the release name. For Fedora, its terribly inconsequential, and I say that as the guy who named Fedora 12.
Yes, but they can't track it. It's gotten to the point where it's most cost effective to earn a lower income and DYI it in many aspects than to have reportable income and pay third parties for their labor. This isn't how a flourishing economy operates.
At least if Microsoft were to do something dastardly, there's a few billion in assets to get the lawyers worked up over.
Just how much worse would Microsoft have to operate to rise to the level of 'dastardly'? There are literally hundreds of remote code execution exploits, they're a convicted monopolist, and BSoD is a term just about everybody knows.
So then, which businesses have successfully sued Microsoft over these practices in the past 30 years?
Is it clear yet that this is an imaginary benefit? That that I'm not all for poorly run corporations runnign poorly - that's just fine by me.
Good luck getting any bank in America regulated if the Republicans all three branches.
Like they did in 2002 when the Sarbanesâ"Oxley Act was passed? You're delusional if you think Republicans don't love regulation. Look at their actions, not their words.
Seriously, look into starting a new bank as a startup (I have). It's not possible without massive capitalization and regulation. Upwards of $5M in legal fees alone.
Yet I see comment after comment of how irresponsible and amateurish BTC is, and how we should only trust regulated, state-backed currencies. Yeah.
And what's amazing is that after this debacle, nobody will ever think to insist that their next Bitcoin site show that they have provable backups.
Oh, wait, they actually will, probably insisting that somebody reputable verify that, and such a market regulation only cost $87,000, barely the benefited cost of a secretary for some big government agency.
My goal is to plant half an acre. We'll see how fast that ramps up!
It would be nice to have enough extra to survive a supervolcano year. One town near here has a monument from the 19th century to a man who had grown and stored wheat - 16 of his neighbors survived on his surplus when none of their crops would grow.
Not a bad idea, but a unrealistic goal to come about just because of GMO labelling.
heh, no, that's not the reason. But I think health is driving many parallel things.
Also I would suggest you look into other grains if you are doing this from a health perspective. Wheat really is the worst of the lot for you, participially the modern varieties. It is like any modern agriculture plants, it has been bred to increase some attributes at the expense of being a healthy food.
Wheat has the best protein yield per acre. No allergies in our family; the kids have had the blood test too. I'd like to expand to more grains eventually.
(not addressing you directly Vicarius) OK, you capitalism fan bois, worshipful eyes blazing with faith, how come your favorite shitty system brings us to this sorry state?
That's corporatism, not capitalism. Get rid of the corporations and we'd be fine.
Which is fine, if that's what people want. I suspect more people will want cheaper food, damn the consequences (if any), but that's fine too.
I'm not for compelled speech (mandatory labeling) but I've also heard the FDA has rules preventing 'GMO Free' labels as well. I've never been able to verify this, and I do see a few products in the stores with such labels (but not many). I'd applaud civ. dis. on this, but does anybody here know the real story re: FDA rules?

With Musk's target about $500,000 round-trips to Mars, he's going to have to learn how to launch every day. For about 5 years straight.
What would change about ESA to make it at all cost-competitive with SpaceX?
That's right, folks, it's Morning in America!
Well, they do have a Marshall Islands test site to avoid harassement by the EPA.
No, but if you succeed in getting rid of the government and creating a "utopia" where the rich and powerful rule like kings--we're certainly all going to find out.

But perhaps you have a counterexample.

Explain to me again how barter is a superior system...
If you use money, your transaction cost increases by about 60% due to taxation. Money ought to be superior.
The IRS taxes barter income too.
Yes, but they can't track it. It's gotten to the point where it's most cost effective to earn a lower income and DYI it in many aspects than to have reportable income and pay third parties for their labor. This isn't how a flourishing economy operates.

My, the spammers have mod points as well.
Best to just reset the password on those accounts.
Better throw some more memory in your machine. I hear Firefox has a voracious appetite, even today.
It would be great if Firefox had a bigger leak management team, but I try not to spend too much time on $15 problems.

Having your money in a regulated, underwritten by government, bank is having your money well backed up.
Um, no.
Even QIC-80 tapes are more robust.
Yet I see comment after comment of how irresponsible and amateurish BTC is, and how we should only trust regulated, state-backed currencies. Yeah.
And what's amazing is that after this debacle, nobody will ever think to insist that their next Bitcoin site show that they have provable backups.

You mean 31 slugs.
Oh, now I get it. I didn't understand at first that TFS meant 1000lbs at ground level in Earth's gravity field. So confusing!

Sure, you'd have to give up manufactured food. But that's not such a terrible idea anyway.
I'll be growing wheat next year - I still have to clear for it. Heck, I'd be doing that right now if I weren't resynchronizing databases. :(
I found a local miller with good prices. You can also just buy from a local like-minded farmer.
(not addressing you directly Vicarius) OK, you capitalism fan bois, worshipful eyes blazing with faith, how come your favorite shitty system brings us to this sorry state?
That's corporatism, not capitalism. Get rid of the corporations and we'd be fine.
you can buy now for $1/gb or wait a few months until it's 50 cents/gb or another year until it's 10 cents/gb?
I'll bet you a 500GB SSD that the median 500GB SSD isn't down to $50 on May 25, 2013.
Unless you are willing to change your diet drastically, there is no way to avoid it.
Growing your own food is another good way to handle this. Seed producers are very protective of their varieties.
Which is fine, if that's what people want. I suspect more people will want cheaper food, damn the consequences (if any), but that's fine too.
