    Remember that this is a closed system. The astronauts will need more food to power them powering the exercycles. There would be additional heat to dissipate. Things are not so simple. It *is* rocket science after all.

    Try arora http://code.google.com/p/arora/

    Hah, that's funny, the Americans are preaching socialism to a country whose constitution starts

    It's like the yearly flu epidemic. The fact that you get it gives rise to the antibodies that stay in your body to protect you for a while. Then you are vulnerable again

  6. Re:Why do people pay for this stuff? on Apple Unveils Extra Leopard-isms To Developers · · Score: 1

    I'm sure that eventually Apple will eventually come up with some sort of new numbering scheme once they get to Mac OS X 10.10 because that will just be EXTREMELY confusing to the consumer.


    I'm sure they will run out of big cat names before that :)

  10. Sofware can be complete on IBM Turns to Open Source Development · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but just because you aren't using the latest and greatest doesn't mean that it is obsolete. My father still uses MS Office 97 for example, and it has all the features he needs. He decided to not use later versions of MS Office even when they were available for free, because the old one does its job. Software or any tool only becomes obsolete when the later version does the job better. In the case of Word, thats not happened since 97, given the features that my father needs.

    Sorry, your by your argument Bill Gates is the greatest human ever, because he made a fat load of cash. A good idea will find someone who will understand its significance and develop it. A mediocre idea will be just mediocre.

    Sure people with high social 'intelligence' are needed but they can't replace people with high intelligence. I can argue the following:

    --
    Which people have the highest social 'intelligence' (charm?)?

    Lawyers. They spend their lives convincing and charming people. I'd like to see a society built purely on lawyers.

    See how sweeping generalisations screw your argument?

  17. Re:How Exactly on Halloween Solar Storm Nearing Heliopause · · Score: 5, Informative

    Mars has very little atmosphere, and almost no protection from radiation. This renders the surface open to bombardment, and thanks to low gravity and low magnetism, the atmosphere leaks away into space. The article states that the water that might have been on mars 'boiled off' due to solar radiation.
