Please don't refer to SpaceX as "we" unless you work there. It's a private business, and it's not using tax money to build rockets. SpaceX needs to be cautious to avoid accidents, or they won't get contracts.
Speaking of past achievements, let's not forget what happened to the Apollo 1 crew. SpaceX cannot afford even a disaster without loss of life - there is no government behind them, only investors.
Put a superconductive wire along the equator and run some current through it. Better yet, make it a mesh, so that breaking a wire doesn't release huge amounts of energy at once.
The downside of "drag and drop reordering" is that accidental dragging of the current tab to the current page causes 100% CPU utilization for several seconds, the page is reloaded and the form entries are lost without a warning. Observed with Firefox 1.5 RC1 and RC2 on Linux.
A smart toaster should recognize you by biometrics and use the settings you used last time you were using the toaster. If the toaster doesn't know you, it should refuse to toast until you set it up.
That would be even more useful with showers. Different people prefer different water temperature.

Fixed: 147670 - Wrong (last or empty) tooltip text displayed for dropdown list menu items.
Not fixed. Follow a link, put mouse over the "Stop button" until it shows "Stop loading this page", click on the arrow of the "Back button" before the tooltip appears, move mouse over one of the items in the dropdown list. The tooltip will say "Stop loading this page".
As it has always been with exploration, if you are merely "good enough", you only discover things that others missed. To open new frontiers, you have to be the best.
Also the whole point of subsiding research is to stimulate non-trivial, long term projects that corporations would not do by themselves. Cheap solutions and short term projects won't advance the technology and science that much.
The problem is, JPL is not making rockets. JPL creates unique exploration systems, that no corporation (American or Chinese) would make for profit. I'm all for NASA using commercial launchers whenever possible, but the payload has to be made by scientists.
I believe money can be much better spent on robotic exploration rather than on manned missions. I also think the return on investment in terms of new technology is going to be better per money spent (although manned expeditions cost much more).
Of the 12 astronauts that walked on the Moon, only one was a geologist. I'm afraid this will happen again on the Moon and on Mars, if (and it's a big if) the US administrations will have sufficient will and attention span to make astronauts get there at all.
I think common API would be XML + SVG. Themes don't need to draw anything themselves - they should only describe the widgets and their behavior, leaving the implementation to the toolkits.
How did you like the video? Can you tell us more about what you've seen, so that we, strange users who don't run IE "for silly and pointless reasons" are persuaded to install and use it?
Braking earlier usually means less velocity change and thus less energy wasted in brakes. Less accidents means less materials and energy spent on making new cars and spare parts.

does it play Ogg?

Moderators, you should re-read the troll definition.
Cows hate listening to low-quality mp3s while being milked.

Robots inspire too. See unmannedspaceflight.com, especially the topics about Mars Exlopation Rovers.

That's how I misread the title. Pretty scary, isn't it? Time for some coffee :-)
His statue in DC is awful, it reminds a panda or some other cuddly animal with a big head. Einstein deserves a real statue.

At the distance equal the solar raduis. Much higher on the surface.

32-bit utilities are placed elsewhere, but they are fooled to think they are in \windows\system32.
