Mac OS 9 had a smaller install base than current Mac OS X and was constantly riddled with viruses. I don't think that market share alone determines whether or not something ends up riddled with viruses. That being said, Apple has been particularity lax about security these last three years.
The idea of using the Orion MPCV for ISS is just in case Commercial Crew doesn't follow through. It looks like we won't have the worry about that, and the MPCV can worry about being used in deep space missions.
There have been several launches of the Falcon 1 and one of the Falcon 9 where they recovered the capsule from orbit. There is a Falcon 9 ready to go at the Kennedy Space Center pending a few software updates. Quit being loud and angry with an uninformed opinion.

I think that regulatory documents that are enforceable by the force of government, such as the National Electric Code, should also be made freely available.

Now if only the National Electric Code was in the public domain...
Also, as mentioned by Steve Jobs when asked about a touch screen laptop, it's very tiring and doesn't work. I the Apple Keyboard Dock for my iPhone / iPad (mainly for fast texting at home, I even impress the best of texters with my fast text message replies), but using the touch screen with the iDevice is a dock is tedious at best.
Sure, the iPad is great for checking an email, or showing off things to customers, but it isn't a PC replacement. The iPhone is great for email on the go and the occasional random game, but trying to say that we're in a Post-PC world is like saying we're in a post pen and paper world because we have books.
It makes me fingers hurt to think about typing as much on a little glass screen as I do on a keyboard in a day. Sure, I could do it, but my tendons and eyes would hate me for it.
Back in 2006 there were very very strong rumours that Apple was going to release a full screen video iPod and PDA - the rumour sites even had (fake) videos of the AV iPod playing video content, with someone using the on screen inputs to forward and rewind. Of course it was slated here on slashdot because "no one wants fingerprints on their screen!" etc.
No such product emerged that year, but the iPhone and iPod Touch turned up the following year, in almost the exact same rumoured format as the previous year. And now, most smart devices are the same...
My point? slasdotters will always see the negatives in something, regardless of how successful it ends up being.
Fixed that for you. For what it's worth, it's what I love about this place. Everyone tears down and criticizes everything while everyone else is drooling over magic.
This is true. My girlfriend just broke up with me a week ago for being too ready for life while she was in school. Not that I wanted to get married or anything, it just scared her dating someone with everything so together.
Four years ago, I was broken up with because I didn't want to move across the country to chase her parents around while they ran away from their bills.
I always do the best that I can, and make sure to stay true to myself because I've found that I'm the only one that I can trust, no matter how much I love a person.
Two long term relationships in five years and I've learned that the only person that I know will be there for me is me. Everybody else is flaky and unreliable.
SLS isn't only a "backup". It will be the primary means of launching heavy materials and vehicles beyond orbit for deep space missions. It is only intended as a backup if the commercial services aren't able to provide a launch to the space station.
Granted, it is an expensive backup, but the commercial launch companies are proving themselves as we speak. Commercial access to a space station has been theorized since the 1960s when 2001: A Space Odyssey was released, now it's becoming a reality.
While I applaud the efforts of these people in bringing more tools to the open source community, I feel that we need to direct more attention to the people making these chipsets and their accompanying documentation.
The next generation vehicles are almost ready, and we have a lot of new things in launch vehicles happening. A lot of the old Space Shuttle facilities are being refitted, and a lot of work couldn't be done until we were done using these resources on the shuttle. The time to develop a suit isn't after the vehicle is ready and it's time to start planning missions. It's good that we are pushing the next generation of suits forward. The United States is still #1 in space technology, and are the only ones working on anything really groundbreaking.
You are completely right. I have seen the videos from the Apollo program that show the far side in great detail. The far side is well mapped. This is barely news. Now maybe once we get the gravity maps and figure out where all the water is for our future moon bases, we will have some good data that's worth something.
I'd consider the fourth option, that we've only had human history for 6,000 years, good records for less than probably 2,000, and that we're in the boondocks. If we had been visited, the chance is that there just isn't evidence of it, and that we'll either have to wait to be visited again, hope that other civilizations see our radio transmissions and see it as worthwhile to come here, or go out there on our own and see what's out there. The problem is that our technology is young, we are young, and there really isn't anything that interesting about us.

I was hoping to see an inductive charger similar to the one sported by the EV1.

This is intermediate at best. I need to spend more time on IRC if I can expect to stay in the game.
Slashdot has turned into fucking amateur hour.

Yeah, but the packets have to be routed, and that takes time, too.

So the four billion dollar question is what do they plan on doing? Are they going to generate steam with heat, or what?
Why should experience and education matter? It should be about how much value one can bring to the company.

Humanity has had it's chance in expanding outside of this little rock, and we blew it.
Just like a sonic boom when breaking the sound barrier, traveling faster than light may create a burst of light and radiation.

You shouldn't have destroyed your individuality by combining all of these things. If you hadn't, maybe you wouldn't be getting divorced.
I'm only saying this so that others may learn from your mistake.
The biggest question I have is whether or not I need to keep my public ssh keys more private from now on.
