  1. Re:Sure, it's to 'recycle' them on Pentagon's In-Orbit Satellite Recycling Program Moving Forward · · Score: 1

    So what magic material is this satellite made out of that will not just be cooked to death?

    Shedding heat in a vacuum is a real problem.

  2. Re:Best idea from the Pentagon in a while on Pentagon's In-Orbit Satellite Recycling Program Moving Forward · · Score: 1

    The far bigger trick will be matchin orbit grabbing the satellite and then moving onto the next one without spending more than the cost of satellites getting all that fuel up there.

    Everywhere else. I would like to use it in every application.

    By that you mean how big a loan they want to take out?

    So you are about 17 right?

    FFM is the old way of doing things. If you actually knew some non unix noobs you would know lots of people using it.

    GNU tools are not installed on the Mac, they use the BSD versions.

    They are not the GNU versions. The flags are not the same.

    If you used them you would notice that.

    No, they have half assed custom userspaces, as far as I can see? Has anyone yet booted a new kernel?

    I tend to want to be able to type while I watch a video.

    I don't want to click to raise to a window, it is pointless to do so, sometimes I want to toss back and forth between two very quickly.

    A black republican is about as self aware as a gay one. They are today the party of racism and bigotry. Sure the southern democrats tried to continue to make the party the white man's party but they failed. Many of them then switched teams to become republicans.

    The simple reality is that even Lincoln today would be considered a bigot. Read his own writings for evidence.

    I would like those tools and the rest of the GNU UNIX toolkit like the findutils and less and the rest of the lot.

    I hated having to install them on solaris to get a reasonable environment and I hate doing it on OSX too. Sure it is not hard, but why not package the versions that people who use these tools actually use?

    Why would you have thought that?

    The Droid4 is bootloader locked. Moto devices newer than the OG droid have all been locked down junk.

    It works fairly well. I wish it would made middle click buffer work too. Sadly I cannot find a way to do that.

    Any idea how to get a sun keyboard to work with a mac? I want the extra buttons. I already put capslock where it belongs, at the bottom.

    Because it makes sense that is why. The mouse is where I want to be. Why would I want to have to click to raise a window?

    I hated building them on solaris to replace the crap tools there, and I see no reason why in 2012 we can't just have them everywhere.

    Hmm, not working. I guess that would be because I have two monitors and I am not always on the primary one.

    You like the OSX desktop?
    I hate it. It is like it was designed for children and gets in the way too often. I want focus follows mouse, I want to get rid of the idiot dock bar thing, I want menus on every screen not just the main monitor.

    On top of it, SHIP WITH THE FUCKING GNUTOOLS YOU MORONS. The half baked commercial versions of these tools lack way to many features.

    OSX would be better if it had more Xisms. For one the only competent focus follows mouse I could find costs money. The lack of middle click paste is also very annoying.

    Lots of games do not require such things.

    It is the consumers fault. 1). you don't have to stick with one carrier. 2) buy a GSM one. Even CDMA nexus devices get updates faster than 99% of non-nexus phones.

    Best advice?
