What extra hours of daylight? In winter I wake up in dark, travel in dark and just when I get the office the sun might decide to get over the horizon and give us a bit of light, that is if there are no clouds. Worse in the evenings. There are months where I almost don't see any sunlight apart from the weekends.
This move is an excellent idea, at least I can use the evenings productively.
Irrational? Definitely not. I shall not infect any of my Linux boxes with patent-encumbered bloatware waiting to explode any time Microsoft decides to go for it.
Just because it's been given to people you don't share political views with does not mean it's meaningless. Luckily the rest of the world and the distinguished list of Nobel Peace Prize winners disagree with you.
Don'g underestimate the greed of Military-Industrial Complex. We were all warned by the great pacifist(!) president of USA, Eisenhower and no one took him seriously.
UK has just scrapped their new Nimrod project. Each plane has cost us more than a space shuttle and only was air-worthy. A whole pile of money that could have fixed a significant chunk of budget hole was thrown away to our own Complex here. What a waste of time and money.
First, donate to the medical causes. Anything that can't be recycled to new bodies, used to teach medical students and improve science can be composted. At least this way it's maximum utilization. Just burying it into the ground or burning it is a waste.
I see this "SSMEs are very expensive" meme a lot. I wonder if it is because SSMEs are reusable, the unit cost due to historic R&D is very high. RS-68, even though if it had the same R&D cost, would be cheaper due to numbers being built with an assembly line. The unit cost will get cheaper and cheaper as long as you keep the assembly line open.
Saturn V was a very expensive vehicle. On the other hand by the time the Apollo project got cancelled, the assembly line was in production and the prices were going down rapidly. Of course this didn't save the moon project, thanks to the nearsighted politicians.
Does this mean finally American Cheese will taste like something? Or their bread finally will be tasty? All I can see coming out of America is freedom fries and McBurgers.
They are still pretty popular in UK but the amount of places accepting them is going down daily. I'm down to my last checkbook and probably I will not bother replacing it.
Don't worry, the next one to fight against will be Catholics vs. Protestants. People still talk about JFK being the first Catholic president and how well that ended for him. If US wants some lessons on how to get this thing in track, they can always have a chat with Irish and Scottish.
Does anyone remember the first similar test on Orion actually ended smashing the capsule to the ground due to failed parachutes? And the pig farmers in Congress still want to get some pork....

So, choice is a bad thing? I thought that's one of the reasons why we run GPL software on your machines!
I'd love to see an atheist American President. When that happens, come back and say it's not a theocracy.

All of this reminds me, has anyone seen the Other Novell OS lately, I mean, Netware? Last time I've seen a Netware server was at least 10 years ago!
Not really, the old SCO became Tarantella and sold the name to the Caldera. Finally Tarantella got bought by Sun, now a part of Oracle. What a mess.

Because a human is not a dog?
I guess it's about time Israeli and British armies collapse since they've been allowing gays to serve for quite some time.
For that cost you can build many smaller satellites and many many more land-based observatories. It's not really worth the price NASA asks for.
Cremation is rather wasteful. I'd prefer any remains after the NHS is done by picking up any reusable parts to be composted and recycled.
So, according to these people, before Mr. James there was no bible and Mr. James is the holy prophet, King of the Jews and son of God?
Weird...
I believe in the existence of a teapot just outside Mars's orbit. This doesn't mean that it's actually exist and in orbit.

Look ma! No hands!
So right! If FSM wanted us to fly, she would have given us wings! And don't get me started on those squatters

Yeah, that's why almost all of the raped women always see their attacker prosecuted, found guilty and imprisoned, NOT!
Methinks you watch too many episodes of CSI. Real life is rather more complicated and mundane.
This affair stinks, probably it's a set-up to get him arrested and then shipped to USA.
