The experience of tinkering with other systems such as cars let you see the logic behind the way things work. After you started breaking into these types of systems, your mind started to enter a lower latent inhibition state. You started seeing things for what they are, not what they are perceived as. Young programmers normally build things with legos and start taking apart things around the house to see how they work. This marks the difference between a schoolyard engineer and a real engineer. You aren't the exception, you are the standard, you just may have came a little late to the game.
All of these people who think that they can take a few classes here and there, read a book, and then get a job are completely hopeless. They think that creating software is something that is taught in some sort of class. Guess what, it isn't. It's more of a way of life. You don't become a coder, programmer, software engineer, or whatever it is you want to call it. You either are, or you aren't. Those who are normally discover their talent by poking around and finding others with the same drive to learn how things are made. It isn't really about the code, it's about finding out how things work, and how to do those things for yourself. There are so many posers in this field, it isn't even funny. The sad part is that most of these posers have letters after their names and useless pieces of papers given by Universities that like to pretend that they are the gatekeepers of knowledge.
It can move to after midnight, at which point the world ends up being a truly terrible place. Once the world is at peace again, it can move back to before midnight.
I have been preaching for years that a Corporate Monopoly on phones such as Microsoft would never be able to stand the test of time against an open platform such as Android. There is no way that I would allow such proprietary lock in on something so important such as my phone. I'd rather control my data, thank you.
We decided that we were going to go to the moon before we could put a man into orbit. Brains aren't the only thing to get you somewhere, you also have to have the balls to try.
12 Volts at 550 Amps wouldn't even go through your skin. Needs to be closer to 48 Volts. If you converted to AC and added a transformer, ~100 amps could be delivered. If you wanted to be lazy, a good inverter will also do the trick. Just make sure and bridge all fuses (check inside, too!)
This ten times over. Whenever the Apollo 1 fire happened, and whenever the shuttles broke apart, I felt that too many others were speaking for the fallen astronauts. However, I don't feel that it should be in the form of a video for post-death viewing, they should be vocal about their thoughts before going into space. I've never understood why people are so scared to think of the what-if's. I think we need to take the taboo out of death, and that we should all let our loved ones know our vision for the future for whenever we inevitably kick the bucket.
I'm all for crazy ideas, and I'm a huge fan of space flight (just ask any of my friends, I drive them up the wall with it), but this has to be the worst idea I've ever seen.
This sounds like it should be an active directory feature, not something for Microsoft itself to take advantage of. IT departments allowing iPhones, ok. But now they are just going to hand the keys entirely over to Microsoft?
If you make it past the student loan mark, and really want to be independent, the small business administration also has loans that can enslave you to the federal government, too. Make it past that checkpoint, and then you can be enslaved to the state by getting a woman pregnant.
I remember my calculus teacher telling us that tuition was $50/semester at the university he attended in the 1950s. All federal subsidies did is what they do with everything else. Inflate prices.
QNX is probably the best operating system ever. If properly utilized, I could see Blackberry overpowering all other mobile phone manufacturers. I ran it on my main computer a long time ago, and it was one of the best computing experiences I have ever had. If it were F/OSS, I would use it for much more.
They say that they are only doing two launches within this decade. That's because all the launches start in the 2020s. It's obvious sensationalism at it's best.
This isn't a shuttle for ferrying things back and forth to orbit, that's what private enterprise is for. This is an Exploration Class vehicle, in that it can actually go places and do things. Only the US has had a manned Exploration Class Vehicle, and that was 40 years ago. This is completely different.
Clever bot is a piece of garbage that hasn't even surpassed Perl scripts on IRC in the 1980s. It isn't even worth mentioning, it's nothing more than a piece of crap with a "Web 2.0" edge to it that doesn't even have long term memory while having a "conversation". Far from AI, far behind what's already been out there.

USB is so 10 years ago, how about the latest bluetooth chipset?

This is taken into effect whenever calculating the habitable zone around a star.

Was this meant as a joke? It was one of the first comments, but it really was blocked/closed from being accessed in Iran shortly after launch.

Yeah, going cross country skiing is a great idea when you have work at 8AM and want to relax before bed.
Netflix is the best deal since a long time ago. Sure, one can live a happy life without it, but it's a wonderful luxury.
I love slashdot for the technical articles, but love it even more for the crazy far fetched ideas.
They could have flown the shuttle like two more times for that!
Not as limited as you would like to believe: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD256Z/A

When my downloads get slow and I can't refresh slashdot, it means it's time to take a break because mom is making me a snack upstairs.
and it is for that reason that I am pro net-neutrality.
I can't find any pictures of this. How would the Service Module re-enter without a heat shield?

GPS should be supplemented with inertial guidance.
