OK, tell your mom to get out of the basement and leave you alone. You're getting dangerously high on those female pheromones and about to start to act like a dick.
They're doing "losing money on XBoxes" pretty right indeed. The replacement ratio for the Xboxes hover way over 1. There are many stories of Xboxes getting bricked and then replaced twice or thrice.
Even longer than that. In 2001, at work, in the junk box of all places, there was a handheld (black & white 640x480 LCD) PC with Win3.1. I had promptly wiped that out and installed a Linux (probably it was Redhat 6) on its slow 486 CPU. It was fun, then I had better things to do and threw it back into the junk box.
Dilbert has stopped being funny about 5 years ago, I'm surprised the calendar only now caught up with being useless. Of course, probably the calendar has the best-of series. Last one I had contained some really old strips.
When I want to remember how awesome Dilbert was, I go back to 90s strips.
That link is very heavy on irony. Colin Powell, the man who made the case to invade the Iraq with lies and spin has repented! He should be in Hague among others being prosecuted for war crimes.
There were plenty of Salyut missions where the Cosmonauts had to go back because they couldn't obtain a good dock. Once a plastic bag got stuck between the docking mechanisms. You have to wonder from where it came. And that was when they could actually afford the space programme.
Even then the worst docking story goes to Gemini-9's Angry Alligator. That's just epic.
This one can be safely blamed on NASA. Space Station Alpha went through so many redesigns, it spent more time on paper being redesigned by NASA (+20 years!) than ISS components actually had flown in space (since 1998, that makes 14 years old now, damn I'm getting old).
Very unlikely. It's just good marketing. The weight of the fuel for the relanding would be too much to send all the way up there and then bring it back in a controlled manner. It would reduce the usable payload significantly. Why go for a complicated solution when there's a simpler (fish it out) method exists which also helps with your payload weight capacity? If the cost of the refitting is more than building from scratch, no one will bat an eyelid for reusability.
You have to remember why you have these "United" "Alliances"... Once upon a time, by a Republican President of a far far land, it was decided that competition was good and the capitalist would say prices would come down so he said "Hear unto me, from now on, all launches private will have to go through a bidding process with the lowest cost". The Giants were shocked and shocked. The big brothers, Rockwell, Boeing and Lockheed looked at each other and say "you know what, let's not bid against each other and create an Alliance and put a single bid". And then they kept raking the money.
Then the hero came to the play and said "you know what, my name is Elon and I can play with Giants and fuck them". And the rest is history.
We're all waiting for the bad ending where Elon betrays us all.
Hearsay. F-16 was General Dynamics, The Shuttle orbiter was Rockwell. Completely different companies. On the other hand various orbiter components were built by different companies, the main engines were Rocketdyne and so on. It is quite possible that General Dynamics built some component or the other.
What peacetime? Korean war? Cuban invasion which almost went ahead? Vietnam war? Invasion of some islands around USA? What about invasion of Panama? Then Gulf I and then a decade later Gulf II? Since Reagan's 80s, bombing of random old-best-friend-new-best-enemies in the middle east? The longest peacetime period was only a couple of years between these.
If you are talking about USA not being invaded or actually in war with a neighbour, that hasn't happened for a while, last time was when USA invaded Mexico and annexed large tracks of land and called it Texas.
There should be no need to do that. Anything anyone in the Western world produces is automatically copyrighted to that person. Then the person has the freedom to do whatever they want with it. My favourites are CC/GPL/BSD licences depending on my mood and what I'm doing. All of these licences only work with a copyright framework. Copyright is meaningful and useful.
Extended, never-ending rolling Copyrights pushed by Senators from Disney, on the other hand...
The DMCA procedure works like what you have said. The so-called-infringing web site just has to say with good faith, it is not infringing and the site goes back up. Then it is the first party's responsibility to prove that it is an infringement by due process. All Candice Schwager had to do was in good faith state she is not infringing or take the picture down. Obviously looking at Candice is behaving, she knows she is at fault and trying to spin it the other way. Typical Republican work.
Correct but it looks like if you you talk to her in the morning and comment on how lovely the weather is, the answer is you are a minion of a random Sheriff in some random county in her state and you're conspiring against his opponent's chance to win the next election. Simply, to me Candice Schwager appears not to be very sane!
Being non-profit doesn't mean the person should back them automatically. Westboro Church is non-profit. Catholic Church is non-profit. All sorts of organisations I disagree and do not want to help with are non-profit. Even if it is a worthy cause, if it's run by nasty people, it's not worth helping. Luckily there are usually other organisations. Want to help kids in distress? You can always help with Child's Play (www.childsplaycharity.org/).
Most importantly being non-profit does not let you ignore the laws and the rules.
With that level of nuttery on her side, reacting like a sane person is not an expectation. DMCA takedowns are quite simple. One party sends a notice stating "please take down my copyrighted material". The other side either complies or states "It's not copyrighted" and it goes back up. Now it is the first party's problem to prove that it is his/her copyrighted material.
Simply, all she had to say was "No, it's not copyrighted, Godaddy, bring my sites back up". Of course, she's an attorney, she can't do that. She would know that would be lying. Instead she throws a tantrum. Now, that's some professionalism Candice Schwager!

They don't want to. They wanted to join the ISS but a certain North American country said "get lost".

What it really means is probably they will be used against the Kurdish in the north of the country, AKA business as usual.

A Newt supporter... What else do you expect?
Land Rovers are built all around the world already. Defender series is built in Turkey for Turkish Army since early 90s.
So, generating the hydrogen to feed into your hydrogen fuel cell is done not by electricity but magic? I'd buy some stock of that Magic Inc.
The real question is if you can get the same efficiency and power with a cheaper oil (diesel), why attempt to use a more expensive one (gasoline)?
