  1. Soon, it will be better to be a farmer... on Offshore Outsourcing Threatens Offshore Outsourcing · · Score: 1

    As commoditty prices keep rising, us programmers, might make more money growing/selling veges/herbs and tobacco/coffee, than programming!!

  2. why not Model-T ford the sats/probes... on NASA Launching Two Mars Rovers in June · · Score: 1

    Lets just go for it , and make 10-50 small 500lb probes which are major miniarized and have the max intruments,comms,minitelescope,everything it can fit, which 'ports' for upgrades/extra specific addons.

    That way you can spend $5b on 50 things, and launch them with cheap ICMBs, and do like every planet 3 times over.

    Have a permanent probe land on asteroids.

    And these rovers should have longer lifetimes, why not place a damn WINDSCREENWIPERS, on the solar panels to get rid of the dust?

    When all those 60m baby boomers retire, and get old sick, ask for coupons, us kids are gona pay for it all with 75% taxes (ie if you include sales+income+fees+excise+hidden+CG)
