If you have something to launch that requires Saturn V capabilities, Musk will probably design something for you. If you don't, he won't have to waste the money that could be spent elsewhere.
The rule is - never make a switch before Slackware does it. That way you can be sure most of the early adopter problems are gone. A lot of the distros switched too soon, and messed it all up for the users.
I am not so sure...
Everything new is modern. I've learned that as a ERP consultant. Even if you're way more efficient in an old system, the users always want the flash web-based interface. Not because it's modern, not because it's what they're used to - it's just different!
Satanism is really everything that opposes their god, and his will.
Having Internet spreading the truth about everything, it certainly undermines all the work the Catholic church has put into hiding it from its followers.
Funny you should mention that - maybe he was making a joke, based on exactly that information and the fact that a lot of the tools currently being used are also made in China?
What about the newer Niven stuff then? Fleet of Worlds, Juggler of Worlds, Destroyer of Worlds and Betrayer of Worlds?
However, what I'd really like to see is Alastair Reynolds' stories. His short stories should be more than enough for a film, and if they want to go "bigger" with a Trilogy or something, they could start looking at "Revelation Space".
The thing is though, that old Sci-Fi doesn't mean it's not relevant. Ringworld is a great series, same with the last couple of Rama books. There are good, old Sci-Fi, and most of that is what sets the stage for what the current writers comes up with. You might think "old pulp" is shit, but I enjoy a lot of it more than what most of the "new" writers manages to put down on paper.
It doesn't take 8 years, just ask Elon Musk.
It takes more than 8 years if a part of the project (the biggest?) is keeping people in jobs and lawmakers demanding stupid, really expensive, unsafe stuff included in the design (read shuttle derived).
Like it's the current governments fault that the last one was living on credit cards?
I like the direction where my current taxes are heading, and I'm not even allowed to vote!
And what do they do? They (a couple of senators) want to reuse the most dangerous part of the shuttle system as part of the new solution - the SRBs. I don't think "getting people killed" or not was on the table when the decisions were made.
Obsolescence?
Get real! Even PS2 games are still going strong and making money for the developers. The fact that some hardcore FPS fans think consoles are crap, doesn't mean that the rest of the world do.

Doesn't have a customer -yet-.

And if that doesn't work - just make it illegal!
why not?
We'll end up like Hearth you mean?
And 50% eat too much!
But the picture is called "Real.jpeg"?
Because it cost them 8 months salary to buy an old version, and another 4 years to get a computer to run it on!

Because this is better
While other countries tries to solve the problems for the homeless by giving them a place to live etc, the US obviously focuses directly on education!

And republic used to mean "not a monarchy"...
Even the most democratic country in the world, Switzerland, is a republic.
What I look forward to the most, is the fact that US is still going out into the world to spread democracy, but refuses to be called one themselves...

My PS3 works with a keyboard and a mouse? But I don't play FPS anyway so /care
Coding quiz? Seriously? I agree that education isn't everything, but hiring someone based on a quiz?
When laying claim to a statment that "X is the most important of Y", one would expect that to be backed up my statisitics proving that point.
90% of the statistics on the Internet is up anyway - who cares?
Why not implement hosts.deny and hosts.allow?
What? I thought everyone had a Charlie Sheen in them...?
