The theory has been floated but this is the first time that I am aware that someone actually worked out the mechanics of it. It's not 'proof' but it's a lot better than just conjecture.
Disclaimer: I am not an astrophysicist or a planetary expert. It's possible that someone did work out the same thing in detail. If so I just haven't seen it.
And you can do that carrying all the gear and supplies you'd need for a potentially multi-week journey? I don't think so. Of course terrain matters. In the mountains I cover about a dozen miles a day when I go on extended trips. In more flat situations it's probably double that.
A man on a good horse can maybe cover 30 miles a day unless he wants to kill the horse. A man on foot maybe 20 if he's in top shape. My comment stands. Maybe I should have said "A dozen or few" but still, you're just being pedantic.
I understand it quite well, and I'm humble enough in my understanding to acknowledge that if we survive another 1000 years we might solve said problem.
I was a wizard on the MOO I referenced. My name for that character was Yoda, and my favorite self made verb was "Yoda opens his Jedi robe and waves his gnarled staff at you."
You are correct, but just a mere few hundred years ago the fastest we could move was a dozen or so miles in a day. I am optimistic that if we don't manage to destroy ourselves we'll find means of providing energy and types of propulsion that would seem like magic to us today (kudos to A.C. Clarke for the reference).
I met my wife on a MOO (MUD, Object Oriented) long before meeting anyone online was fashionable. The funny thing was it wasn't anything romantic until we met in the real world. We just clicked mentally and she was coming up my way to Pittsburgh so we decided to get together. Two months later she moved in with me, two months after that we were married. Been happily married for well over a decade now.
Perhaps we need something like OpenID for Apple iOS. Not that I care much as I don't plan on ever owning an iOS device. I'll wait for a capable Linux based tablet, and unless they put a real keyboard on the iPhone I won't be going there either. Still, maybe that's another project you could look into.
Seriously though, you must be new here if you expect the Slashdot crowd to bash Apple about anything. That's almost as bad as asking them to admit that Linux has a few flaws.

He had legal access to it as long as he used it in the capacity of doing his job. He didn't have any legal right to use his administrative access to harass anyone. If nothing else a misdemeanor charge for harassment would be in order. I don't know about jailtime, but a stiff fine and a restraining order barring him from working in IT would fit.
What many people seem to fail to see is that every single datapoint one gives out can be combined with others to often paint a far clearer picture of your life and it's details than one might think. It would actually be fairly trivial to put in a few weeks of work in order to build a list of targets ripe for the picking, if that.
I must have missed that part of the Bill of Rights. There's the right against unreasonable search and seizure, but nowhere in the Constitution is there any right to privacy.
Did I say it never crashes? No. I said that people who say they are constantly getting crashes from flash, not once in awhile, have other issues. Deal with it.
We use Linux and Windows both, and by properly configured and maintained I mean the only conclusion I can come to about people who have persistent Flash problems is that their setups are unstable to begin with in some way. Sure there are buggy Flash apps just like any other application framework, but people just blow it WAY out of proportion.
Except that doesn't happen. First of all if it did she can fix it, she's quite smart. Second, we have properly configured and well maintained systems. She's never had a Flash crash that I know of, though she might not even tell me since it would be a rare and trivial issue.

I had a cablecard installed in my Tivo Premiere within days of calling Verizon with no hassle at all.

I don't disagree. I did use the word 'might'. Never have I said it's a done deal.

I shouldn't have to buy and carry extra gear for features that I, for my uses, consider to be core necessities.

Thank you, text-space.

I wish I had mod points to mod you up.

Trust me, you don't want to know what EITHER of Cowboyneal's hands are doing at any given time...
Way to take a quote where GP was talking about potential desktop replacements using ARM and then bringing up battery life. Fail.
You must be new here.
How is it a 'shameless' abuse to do something nice for an old veteran? Hint: it's not.
Comments like yours make me almost ashamed to be an 'old' geek. I would tell you to grow the fuck up but apparantly that ship already sailed.
Yeah it's also not a single malt. Single malts use sugars from one SINGLE malt with no additional sugar, at least strictly speaking.
Still there's a sucker born every minute and I'm sure some idiots will buy this stuff. Personally I think the creator should just piss off.
I have no religious problem with embryonic stem cell research, just don't use my money (taxes) to do it.

You do realize that the job posting is about porting games, not server clients or internal server applications, right?
