Yeah! So many words to say that drunk guys are hilaritaringly stupids and dumbs making fools of themselves for the joy of others, especially when there is a campfire.
Even if we could go a thousands times faster than Voyagers, this won't be enough. Also, a long trip in the interstellar space imply no solar energy and nuclear energy sources are limited to about 40 years. Just think about are current nuclear reactors which need major upgrade after 25-30 years of operation. And massive shielding against cosmic rays will be needed since life in such a vessel will be constantly bombarded by cosmic rays at high energy for decades if not centuries. A single round-trip of less than two years to Mars may already be a problem for humans. Sorry, but Hollywood isn't the best place to seek for advice on deep space exploration.
This one should be mod up. The author is really telling things as they are. Don't even think about moving this stuff around, this would be the most dangerous move ever made in the entire humanity's life. It would be different for solid waste, but no way to move nuclear waste in liquid form and even less in this quantity. The more you have to move the most you may incure an accident and a spill. It would even become a target for terrorist minds to provoke such an accident.
Neverless, you should always show respect to non-English speaking people and not be condescendant toward them like a comment in the body of the original post where a guy says programmers who do not speak English are not that good. Wow! What a asshole! I always appreciate a GUI and messages translated in my mother tongue when available and I consider this should be encouraged as much as possible. It's not that difficult to show respect to others.
Back in the nineties, when I was younger and working for a large computer supplier, they already have their PC (could be a small server as well) ruggerized to survive drop from helicopter platforms, mosquitoes invasions and chopped mosquitoes jam in cooling fan intakes and so one. Well, maybe it wasn't supporting extreme temperatures, I don't remember, that a few decades ago and yes, they were designed for the exactly same customer.
Not true, I want a cheap piece of plastic that computes fast. Provided a reasonable keyboard and display. These pieces of plastic are used to be changed every 24 months anyway. I was a Thinkpad customer for a long time, it ended up abruptly two years ago when Lenovo managed very bad an important problem with the nVidia chip on its T61p line of products. I did buy these because they were the top end product at that time. I did buy Thinkpad instead of another brand because of the high quality I got in the past and the service. Lenovo just managed to replace the laptops likely to fail before the end of the warranty and made a recall for these serial numbers only. Many of us did have our lovely T61p just die not long after our warranty expired and we were told by Lenovo to go to hell (not in these terms of course) our warranty is expired and they won't do anything for us. Then I started to see if I could buy a replacement board and in Canada they charged over 1500$ for a replacement board while you can buy yourself a new machine for that price. I then decided to drop Lenovo once and forever. Since that time, I am committed to buy cheap pieces of plastic that computes fast instead.
Well, the example you provided about the plants producing their own insecticide and we are supposed to eat may be questionable. However, while doing so you should ask also the good questions. I do not pretend I have any answers here and neither I am pro or con these plants. The real question being: Will you absorbe more insecticide from a plant producing its own compare to a plant which doesn't and need to be sprayed with insecticide? And is the insecticide produced by the plant the same as the sprayed one? One can be toxic and the other may be not. The issue is always much complicated than it appears at first glance.
Give all the ways the myriad of Saints died accordingly to christian beliefs and the relics preserved in all the churches around the world (fragments of bones, skin, blood and so on). I won't say christians haven't attraction for morbidity. Look at all the paintings and carvings of these guys who died in the most horrible ways you can imagine. Saturnin dragged by a bull until death, Sebastian riddled with arrows, etc. Look at the paintings of the doomsday, the judgment day, etc.
So, it would take over 200K years to reach that star system at Voyager I speed. And keep in mind you will then need an energy source in the interstellar space, solar energy won't work, fission won't work, fusion won't work. And in first place, would an engine with any mechanical part will endure such a long journey? What about cosmic radiations? Hibernation couldn't be tested on a such long term period. Even a 100 factor gain in speed wouldn't be enough.
Interstellar travel is an Hollywood game. We are locked down here in our solar system.
Exactly! And looking at this citation I can see that some are worst places than USA in reference to gun control laws and they have a rate much less than the USA rate. They even have a better rate than Canada, well known for its strict gun control laws. Clearly the gun control laws cannot explain everything.
Same reasonning could be applied to schools. Let's look at the stats. Most massive killings happened in schools. Forbide schools and the mass killings will vanish.
I believe the situation is a little bit more complex than these naïves statements try to reduce them to.
NK officials told to press they are pretty satisfied with the result given their reserves of Diet Coke and Mentos, the result is way better than expected. They still have enough Diet Coke and Mentos for another launch before the end of the year.
I believe you haven't really catch the point about the Holocaust. Even if the British killed millions of Indians, their intent wasn't to kill all the Indians because they believed they were evil. That's not something you just compare by body count. That's the difference between a genocide and a war, civil war, revolt, riot or whatever. The plan behind the Holocaust was to withdraw completely the Jews from the Earth. That's why some caution should be taken when doing some comparisons.
The Nazis weren't killing Jews in direct reprisals of something. They were killing them because they believe they have no right to live.

This guy complains for nothing, after all he could have been a North Korean hacker.

Beside whining, you have something to contribute?

Haven't you RTFA? It is pretty well explained why it is very unlikely to be related to DA14.
I wasn't aware dirty hairs and face was a genetic trait. I guess then the Neanderthal became extincted as soon as the soap was discovered.

I believe this whole thing has been initiated by Apple to prepare the market for the launch of their next kinky device the iShoot.
Do you suggest to incorporate a vibrating mechanism or something like that?

So, I suppose you have no car and no house.
I can type much more faster than that any One-Time-Pad crypto page.

This protocol doesn't support encryption.

I suppose everyone expect the NK Unicorn to fall down December 21st as predicted centuries ago by Mayas.
