Size of a pea, made of metal, making a foot-wide crater.
OK, compare that to a 9MM handgun round. That won't make a foot wide crater (maybe in sand?), so this pea-sized object must have been moving much faster than a bullet. (problematic)
And we're expected to believe that such an object bounced off his hand before making that crater?
Bullshit. The story is wrong, or the reporter is wrong, or the translator is wrong. Something is wacky.
You have the authority to set policy. You do not typically have the authority to enforce policy, unless you also write the paychecks. That's your boss' job. Just generate the reports and pass them up.
Also, don't worry about respect. Nobody respects people who are looking for respect. Also, you work for money, not respect. You can't take a bag of respect to the grocery store and trade it for a pizza.
And respect won't impress a stripper either. If she thought respect was a good idea, she'd be violating someone's IT policies at an office job instead of wearing clear heeled shoes and licking her own nipples.
In the language of my ancestors, the syllables formed by "Concerned Onlooker" means something just a little worse than bukkake-mother-cannibalism. So, if anyone ought to be offended, it's me.
How many of those small craters the size of a foot are more than a few thousand years old? Even a marble would blast out a crater bigger than that.
So these things are commonly made by extremely small particles, which are numerous in the solar system.
This is as far as we can go without more research. But I ask you, can you find blurry tiny craters on the moon, as well as sharp ones? And do geologist consider that an age distinction?
Craters would not be erased by this process. Sunlight only reaches just so far into the surface. Probably just a few inches. The effect would be to blur fine details of a print.
When you're talking about a hundred mile wide crater, you can see this is negliglble. But a bootprint? It'd last a hundred years. Crispness of the print would last less than that, but it's already been 40 years. A thousand years? I am skeptical.
No, it's for people who are all like "yea baby, oh, touch yourself, yea more of that, NO NO DON'T LICK THE TITTY! who told you that licking your own titty is sexy? It's not, so stop that. God if I were the director, I would have slapped you for that. Now look what you did, you killed my boner."
With computer CGI porn, no actress will lick her own titties ever again.
$110 is the price for 125 year old books. It's only available used. Note: this is different than Green's SHORT history. This one is the big one, Green's Opus Magnum. The best history of the English People ever written to that point.
Got the entire text for free on Gutenberg and am reading it on the Kindle. At this rate, it won't take me long to be able to completely justify the entire purchase cost of the Kindle.
There's advertising, and then there is a blinking flash distraction the size of two counties with popups and "smell-o-vision" too.
Advertisers need to remember that they are in the business of selling a product, not annoying their potential customers. When their ads are being blocked, the solution is to make ads that people will not want to block. They should not force their way past my blocker.
Wanna pay me some protection money? Just a buck a week will keep you safe. If you don't pay it, I'll break your legs.
This is just like the time the phone company got you to pay to have your number unlisted. Then they turned around and sold their unlisted numbers to people. Then they came to you to sell you caller ID, so you could screen your calls. Then they started charging telemarketers money to have their caller ID's blocked from displaying.
So what would you recommend for me? For years I've wanted to read Green's History of the English People (not the short one) but couldn't bring myself to pay hundreds of dollars for the books from a collector, just to read them and risk damaging them.
They're free from Gutenberg though, but a pain to read on a computer. On my Kindle, they're perfectly available, for free.
So I think your characterization is inaccurate for some of the Kindle users.

I don't have tenure, but if I have two fives, does that count?

Those who don't know history will be doomed to repeat it, which in the case of UNIX, was a lot of fun the first time.
But not the second time, when Microsoft reinvented UNIX -- poorly.
That's why we study history.
War certainly has driven a great deal of innovation.
War has certainly driven a great deal of innovation. But does that mean that peace also doesn't drive innovation?
If you take a good look at that statement, is it really true? Is there actual evidence and data to support the statement?
It's easy to find some outstanding wartime innovations, but this might be a bit of cherry picking.
Have Bayesian filters been adapted to Usenet yet? That's a natural thing to do.

What he meant was:
Kibo can grep all of Usenet for his name much faster using Google.
I can't give you a citation, but I note that Wikipedia says the pilot "Captain Asseline was sentenced to 6 months in prison."
All I can say for him is that he's lucky to be well lubricated.
Why are people modding me overrated?
Geez people, Google a bit and find some pointy heads at actual space organizations saying the same thing.
Ignorance can't recognize truth.
'cause God is a practical joker and will move your camel while you're in the store.
I take it you don't like my nick?

So your theory is the first bootprint on the moon was wiped out long ago by a camera operator on his smoke break?

Heating and cooling once a month would expand and contract the soil, obliterating footprints eventually.

Realistic 3D CGI porn. Of course.
It's also buggy as shit, and if you get into the code it's a less than easy to fix a problem.
Note to self: steal the OS install disk too.
No. I have one right next to my chair with a glass of gin on his head right now. Very useful.
There's Slashdot. Even when I do everything else, Slashdot is the final work-preventer.
She obviously doesn't read anything from the Gutenberg project, which for me, is entirely the point of my Kindle.
This is what I'm reading currently. I've wanted to read this for years, but I'm cheap.
