No Quote: "It's clearly impossible for an optical telescope on the Earth to resolve any of the Apollo hardware on the Moon, since the best systems, using adaptive optics in the near-infrared, can resolve details of maybe 0.02 arcsec. A lunar lander of width 5 meters, at a distance of 382,000 km, subtends an angle of 0.003 arcsec. The Hubble Space Telescope isn't appreciably closer the Moon, and its best resolution is about 0.03 arcsec in the near-UV. Not good enough."
Actually, the Energia is quoted as being able to lift 100 tons to LEO, and 32 tons into a lunar trajectory.
Saturn V could put 118 tons into LEO, and 47 tons into a lunar trajectory.
A good (as opposed to 'merely tolerable') UI, both for the player itself and for its connection to a computer (FireWire, so copying songs won't take ages, iTunes as the UI on the computer end).
The disk contains (among other information) the first three chapters of Genesis. Considering the durability that that text (and the Bible in general) has already shown, it's safe to say that it will be a usable bootstrap.
No, the problem with the IRS (and others) is that 30 years ago they didn't consider they'd have to move the application and data to another platform eventually, so they tied the application and data to the current platform and/or didn't document what they did.
If they'd done it the "Bricklin way" those problems wouldn't have existed.
The point is that Bricklin proposes not to leave the creation of this software to the open market, but to commission software for this purpose. Nothing stops the goverment from specifying "no obsolescence" when they commission a new system. And it'll usually be the government that needs these systems.
This is not a threat to the current economic model. There'll still be lots of data that doesn't require a 200-year lifespan, so commercial software can still be used.
If you use the Apple/BMW solution, you lose the CD changer, and you get access to only five playlists. The Alpine solution means you can still use a CD changer, and you can use your existing playlists (all of them).
But is it worthwhile? Both solutions mean you replace the iPod's UI with the IMO far worse UI in the headunit. I'd cradle the iPod within easy reach and just use a line-level audio link to the headunit instead.
From the article: "I haven't seen such ruses used in a mass mailer in a long time. This piece of code is so sloppy, it's devious," said Mircea Ciubotariu, a researcher at Romanian AV firm BitDefender.
I'm sure it's lost something in the translation. The rest of the article suggests it's by design rather than accident.
The article compares cars with the HST (200 km/h) and TGV (up to 300 km/h) trains, which makes for unfair comparisons. Conventional trains (with travel times comparable to a car) are more fuel efficient than cars (ISTR the train uses about half the fuel a car would).

Unfortunately, that article doesn't talk about the DDL version.
Damn /. requiring you to mamnually add BR tags...
For n=1 to 12 Q: Blah[n] A: 42! Next n
And port forwarding wouldn't solve this?
How many shitloads is that?
Too late! All your base already are belong to us! HAHAHA!
Like MSIE's "search from the address bar" misfeature (and its default settings)? I'd rather have an error message.
Actually, telecomms standardization is the job of the ITU, which is part of the UN.
That's called absolute pitch, and it's not exclusive to blind people.
You shouldn't verb words.
Let me guess: you shouldn't, because verbing weirds language?

Actually, there are a number of ancient languages that we can't read today.

A good job? When exactly none of the most popular computer applications use a standardized data format?
Yes. but sooner or later those 1960's mainframes will be 'beyond repair'. Even now this is an issue, with replacement parts becoming rare.
WordPerfect a Novell product? I think Corel would disagree...

How is splitting the functionality of the unit in half (OS loaded/not loaded) an improvement?
Not long? YMMV, obviously. My one-year-old laptop takes something like 5 minutes to get its act together.
