cool advances in diamond semiconductors continue By the way, gem quality carbon crystals are already a reality. Funny DeBeers and other diamond cartels are funding development of machines that can distinguish natural diamond from synthetically created carbon crystals (not hard, natural diamonds have "inclusions"), and propoganda that of course your loved one would much rather have a "real" diamond and man-made carbon crystals aren't diamond. Oh, yeah, what would you like dear, a half-carat natural diamond or a 10 carat pure diamond ^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h carbon crystal with no defects as the natural ones have?
slashdot-type media will go mainstream, wireless and mobile and be like a giant IRC of group consciousness or a gossipy party line. I'm wondering if the end result will be humanity as a colony organism.
not to mention the ever accelerating drain-circling spiral of layoffs, outsourcing, loss of employee moral, consolidation mismanagement, elimination of R&D, even poorer products and services, alienating customers, and plummeting stock valuation. w00h00, let the self-destructive dance of death begin!
you know, in at least half of the world you could go away and no one could ever find you, not with satellite, cctv or any other means. Really, the earth is alot bigger than you think. You'd have alot less security and safety, but a whole lotta privacy.
Not true, I can install & use & even modify for my own use GPL software but cannot DISTRIBUTE it or modify & DISTRIBUTE without agreeing to GPL license. After all, if I'm the writer and sole user, who cares if I've provided a copy of the source to myself 8D
Funny, I'm a SuSE 9.2 pro user on laptop as well as my main home server, but I'm trying to think what other than some device drivers are still closed. They already open sourced YAST & iFile, what else is there?
no, the Hindenburg showed that flammable metallic paint, similar to solid chemical rocket fuels, is worse than hydrogen gas to have in aircraft. Now the liquid hydrogen and LOX used in shuttle is dangerous, sure, but so are the alternatives which can be pumped and controlled. Solid fuel rockets don't lend themselves to stop/start/slow/fast operation.
moving my fingers, you mean? anyway, I was just having fun, didn't know Terrytoons was bought by CBS from Terry in 1955, then CBS films spun off Viacom which licensed Filmation Associates to make those Worst Might Mouse Cartoons Ever in '79, which had artistic skills similar to T & P on Southpark
funny you complain about exploiting, but the exploiting is 90% done by the oligarchy within those countries to their own people. Should the whole world refuse to do business with these countrise, would that make things better or worse for the exploited people? Should we proactively get rid of these all these Oligarchies, like as in Iraq?
there's been some dramatic rethinking of the possible history of mar's structure in my lifetime, including in the past assuming mars at one time had plate tectonics and over a billion years of water shaping similar to earth. Not any more.....
heh, a person with a PhD in GEOlogy has studied the history of EARTH as recorded in rocks and structures. Seems they might make some ASS-u-me-s about Mars.
That's a false urban legend about the Saturn V plans, they're at the Marshall Space center on microfilm. Also, Boeing owns all the contractors who made the things, and thus still have cubic yards of paperwork on the thing. We certainly can do a better job making rockets these days, we've taken craft further than just the moon.
let's all take up a $50M collection for one-way trip now, and later if finance, time and interest allows those interested can spring for his return trip

I'm starting to think that the goal is to make the populace a bunch of subservient low-wage slaves with no ambition or ability to innovate.

was just joking, TerryToons hasn't existed for 34 years

I think TerryToons should sue Apple's ass off

Cummings? you mean cummings.

because it's not there anymore, just like the happy pink floating martian elephants
only old koreans would live and be overlords on a planet like that
rivers, lakes and high water tables make for incriminating telltales when highly toxic industrial waste is covertly buried.

space elevators, dude. Of course, we'll use chemical rockets to build the things, but then it's just an electric motor
heh, the U.S.A. has put men on the moon and brought them back. Please tell me what other country has ever done that?

don't worry, it's not Jesus. It's Elvis. The King is alive, man!
I see dead operating systems, they're all around me, on servers shuffling traffic and packets, and they don't even know that they're dead
