Generating buzz by his name alone. His motor and communication skills have deteriorated to such a degree that that it should have 'based on the thoughts of Steven Hawking, we think' on the title. It's sad and unfortunate, but his relevance has been non existent for the last 10+ years.
Actually he was just stupid enough to not have memorized how to get to the boat and took a wrong turn. Though you are correct, the containment fences all went down when they rebooted the system not from him. But that doesn't fit the storyline at hand. My son watches this movie about once a month.
2 Million. That's takes a lot of cycle time to debug and recompile and may shut down some minor systems. Like the T-Rex and Raptor containment fences, but I wouldn't worry about it too much.
The next step will be when they are sued and put out of business for using proprietary information and code that belongs to their previous employer. The likelihood of them being able to pull this off without using code, whether directly or indirectly, from their original company is pretty low.
Scientists need to eat too. It's all about money. Not a single one of these people lost a minute of sleep because of their conclusion. They do however lose sleep when they look at their budget for next year.
Anything that I own that is worth running off hours, namely the washing machine, dryer, and dishwasher already has the ability to dial in the number of hours before it starts.
The only one I ever use is the dishwasher, and that's more because I don't want to listen to it while I'm up. I tend to do 2-4 loads of clothes at a time which makes it rather hard to schedule running at off peak hours. Your money is better spent on a higher spin cycle which reduces dry times. A lot of my clothes come out so that they can hang dry in about 10 minutes. Or a gas dryer.
Most people use the power they use because they want to use it then. Shall I only use the oven after midnite? All of this is a waste of money. Just another way to make money for GE, Intel, etc.
This has been over a month coming. The irony is that at least for Orion they are using some jobs stimulus money that was given to keep working. At least through June. So what was important enough for stimulus money one day goes on the chopping block the next. Makes sense. My understanding is there is some verbage attached to an Afghanistan funding bill (something guaranteed to pass) that addresses the termination fee coverage issue.
But also let those who are parodied beat the crap out of them, if they can. There was a time where people learned restraint out of fear getting into a fight. Since we've taken that away people have lost any form of restraint, hiding behind their computer. Allowing a little bit of fisticuffs would go a long way in adding responsibility for ones actions.
Certainly not true. ITAR is export controlled only. Typically DoD stuff. The model being looked into will be that of procurement only. The government will no longer have any ownership of the systems. Just like government cars and trucks that are bought for every day use are assembled in Mexico/Canada from parts from China or wherever GM/Ford builds them. Oh the contract winning company may be US based, but that's where it stops. There is no protection for the workers underneath. In this case, Commercial Space means Outsourced.
Commercial companies are currently contracted for Constellation. LM is the primary. What this 'commercial push' really means is NASA will no longer be in the driving seat for requirements and the public will no longer own the design, drawings, etc. So what you say? Well, currently Constellation is an ITAR program, which makes it fall under export restrictions. This means no foreign nationals, no outsourced jobs. An American rocket built by Americans. Ask yourself this. How many programmers does Elon have at paypal who are foreign nationals. This is the future of American space flight. Something to really be proud of. Nice way to drive yet another industry out of the country.
In the 15+ years I've been on my own I can count the number of times that I've had to call any of the utlities on one hand and most of those times are just to call up and schedule an install. Yet all around me all I hear is complaints about service. Am I just lucky, or do people just need to chill out a little bit?
I think this was a scifi Saturday night movie. Giant Killer Piranha or something like that. I think it just ticked them off and then they ate the submarine that tried to nuke them. Not nearly as cool as the shark snagging the 747 out of the sky movie.

Oh hush. I'm trying to get some grant money!
I've missed your melodramatic summaries. Welcome back!
Even slashdot eventually will equate copyright violations with theft.

That just doesn't say a whole lot about Bill's stamina.
Yah, lets deficit spend our way out of this! People need jobs, why doesn't the government just hire them and give them busy work!
Honest honey! I was no where near Vegas that week!
My nicely landscaped lawn. I'll be damned if I have to pay more for my mulch.
Tell them it is being used to fix their football program.
More like tied up to hide it from his soon to be ex wife :)
This was pretty much solved when they gave the ability to run off the HD. which also for the most part solved the noise issue as well.

My Taliban Avatar training is almost complete! I was worried I wouldn't have a reason to use it.

Personally I thought it was great as it made it nice and easy for me to find their ROV camera page which I love. So what's the problem here?
