No, I think you mean to use the Douglas DC-8. And they aren't taking them away from Earth but bringing them here, to be stacked up next to volcanoes, and blown up with nuclear bombs. Afterwards, their ghosts will attack humans. We'll have to develop meters that can detect these ghosts, and charge enormous sums to eliminate them.
Can you really rate it as 40 years, since the last operational site was shut down in 2000? Shouldn't the timer stop when it dies, like with people? Do you give Columbus's age as over 500 years?
There will be a short delay while Microsoft works toward establishing the same quality in this periphial as the base. They should reach the necessary >50% failure rate soon by replacing major components with with bamboo waste products.
People will read a piece of code more times than they will write it, so it makes sense to optimize for readability. Besides, I end up autocompleting most type/method names in the IDE anyway.
Maybe someone could build a device that lets you download the text of many national newspapers and can do a test-to-speach from that, instead of trying to use a crappy OCR application. Maybe if the sold it for a lot less, say $300, then it would be more affordable for blind people. They may not get many local newspapers, but for the price difference it might be a better fit for their income. It might be good if they could download the text of many books too. Could we interest a large bookseller, like Amazon, into selling them?
You get them to elect a wimpy president who wants to make sure that gun ownership is illegal, who will run around apologizing to every nation and telling them how evil his country is, who believes that the military is evil, and who takes over many of the large manufactures and banks.
Because the press didn't want to make their darling O Bama look bad? They've stuffed a lot of other bad stuff under the carpet, so what's this in comparison.
There was this camper with bicycles attached to the back, towing a car, towing a trailer full of moterbikes and canoes. If that isn't a road-train, I don't know what it should be called.
These space platforms are going to require a lot of power, so are they going to have some kind of nuclear plant to supply the necessary power? Whatever they use, it had better be green, such as wind or water power. Maybe they could run it on methane from cows.
Computers used to be built to last. Repairs would be at the board level, but those were usually rare, maybe once a year. Buy a PC nowadays, and you'll expect to have to replace it within 3 years. Capacaters exploding off the motherboard is a frequent problem for me, no matter what brand. Laptops usually lose the backlighting shortly after the warranty period ends. Computers may be smaller and faster, but they're a lot less reliable.
I'll bet the delay in fixing it is searching ebay for replacement parts. Even if DG still exists, I doubt that they are still supplying replacement parts for nova's, which would be my next guess as to what they have.
Here's a simple test that they can do to prove it's effectiveness. Place 9 empty boxes, and one with a bomb in it. Place their payroll in with the bomb. They've got one chance to pick the box with the bomb, or their paychecks are toast.
How many Americans have been killed, per year, by the 2" long plastic guns attached to those plastic GI Joe soldiers? Those are routinely confiscated at airports.
It must make you feel a great deal safer, knowing that plastic soldiers are not going to attack you during your next flight with their 2" long rifles.

If I pull hard enough, the cord for my keyboard will come off. Should this also be a selling feature?
The summary doesn't note if their keyboard works once it's been yanked off.

Wait, that sounds familiar, somehow.
The MPAA is arguing that if they could directly turn those plugs on and off, they could offer more goods to consumers.
Ok, I want a list of goods that it is impossible for you to offer now, but would be possible by turning off the analog ports.

If it was so good, then why aren't there any emulators for it? Nearly every other old system has emulators, but not Multics.
Any idea where, on this map, the bagel birds live?
For a comparison, could you list all the Windows rootkits also?
Boot off a DVD. Have everything possible, including configuration files, run off the DVD.
It makes reconfiguring the system a bit harder, but it also makes messing up the system files a great deal harder.

Which is why I always program in forth!

But then, what country would be that stupid?

Doesn't "web based irrigation management" sound like a euphonism to anybody else? If so, do I really want to know what it means?
I've seen this in operation already.

Maybe God jused used a date-rape drug on her.
I always wondered what those birds were doing when they swooped at me. The were just practicing using the force.
Don't Panic! It's not the MICE, it's the BIRDS!

People do not get down modded because others disagree with them.
Nonsense. Just mention Obama in a bad light, and you will get fried.
Wait till he sees how christmas tree lights are set up by average people. (See the mythbusters show about Christmas Trees).
