Unfortunately, his logic is that the Apollo program was a waste, with which I disagree. It wasn't as much of a waste as most things that currently attract our attentions.
Yeah. My insurance company dropped its discount for ABS. They said that studies showed that basically ABS systems were a wash as far as safety and/or costs were concerned (I don't remember exactly--it's been a few years).
Good answers. One minor quibble: the rest of the world pretty much ignores AC's. I fact, I think there's an option to turn them off. I'll see if I can't find that for today only.
... It didn't require great actors any more than good 1950's SF required great characters. (Go on, test it: Of that genre, do you remember the stories or the characters?)...
Forbidden Planet. Robbie the Robot. Prototype CD player.
...This particular company was badly structured and was actually incurring all sorts of needless costs and problems by not having their house in order. If anything the FDA will make them more competitive in the long run.
Interesting. I hate bureaucracy as much as anyone, but I guess I have a love-hate relationship with it. I can see its advantages even as I curse its practitioners. They'll probably get rid of all the cowboys that solved most of their problems (and caused some). Hopefully the bureaucrats will convert the knowledge to processes before they drive them off.
Sorry, I've been monitoring some the forums of some German news sites and can guarantee you that American trolls are totally outnumbered by the Russian propaganda machinery. And yes, it's blazingly obvious that these posters are paid and use vast numbers of fake accounts.
+1 interesting. Anyone else with a non-American new site perspective?
Agh! It's even ambiguous in their video. Is it pronounced "Nome", or "G'nome"? The female narrator in the video says g'nome at the beginning, and then makes the 'g' silent toward the end.
I can't take this anymore. And that, my friends, is why I use KDE.
"The Green Hills of Earth" sends me to the Way-back Machine(tm). Great stories. Lot's of optimism, despite whatever problems were in the stories. He wrote a lot about dystopian societies, generally communistic or religious totalitarianisms. The plucky protagonists always found a way out. It always helped that they were independently wealthy or off the grid.

At least in the car I can turn and pee into a cup. Try that locked up tight inside a space suit. It's no *walk in the park*...
And this, ladies and gentlemen, should be the end of the car analogies today.

...Shit, tell it you want a large latte, whole milk, no sugar ...
Oh, you don't have a Krueger's in your autocar? How droll.
You can stay permanently at home, working on your computer and receiving food deliveries. It's called "house arrest". Why would anybody want that?
You're new here, aren't you?
Well played.
A sleeper van! I like that.
I imagine hooker vans wouldn't be far behind, though.
I could see them leasing the self-driving software. Imagine what *that* EULA would look like.
If I'm going to bed now, and won't need the car until morning, why can't it act as a taxi?
puke in your back seat. that's why.
Yes, one of my first thoughts. People who don't own a thing tend to not take care of a thing.
Hmm. One would think an impeachment is a slam dunk if what you say is correct. Reps hold both houses. Where is it?
You've got it! The Question(tm)! Does this mean we can quit nailing people to trees and stuff?
I never could get the hang of Thursdays.
The little white mice are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
No joy. I guess I'll just trim the score 0's.

Hear, hear. All the bitchin' about how a free website isn't doing Loof Lirpa correctly. Frankly, they're the annoying ones.

Yep. John Wayne made a career like that.

Whereas a significant majority of Russians approve of Putin.
Russians have historically liked having a StrongMan(tm) telling them what to do.
In this case, wouldn't that be cosmoturfing?
Well played. You win the internet for today.
Agh! It's even ambiguous in their video. Is it pronounced "Nome", or "G'nome"? The female narrator in the video says g'nome at the beginning, and then makes the 'g' silent toward the end.

Errr...is the "K" silent?
