Just because China is planning to planning to build something does not mean they will. Remember we we planned to build that super mega particle smasher in Texas? I don't recall that plan working out. Remember when the US planned to have colonies on the moon by now? Remember when I planned to marry a super model when I was a teenager? I am sure you can guess how that worked out.
That aside, I hope they do it. It seems the world will only move forward with competition from an "evil" empire.
How much time would that actually add to a trip to say Mars? As I understood it, you would spend more or less half the trip speeding up and at the 50% mark flip the ship and slow down. That makes it seem like slowing down takes a really long time. I assume since there is either A, very low G forces and thus it takes for ever, or B, the power needs to kept down since puny humans cannot take high G situations very long. Either way, making a complete stop 1/2 way would make you need to flip the ship at the 25% mark, this making your average speed slow as hell no? Of course, this is just the way I think it works, which may be bunk. If not, better to only have filling stations on the destinations.
Seems like anything else in life. If you are the first to get there, you will make some money. You are probably right though, it would be better for everyone to just let China mine the moon and you can stay at home on the sofa watching sponge bob.
Actually that is not quite right. It was the fact that America had built up its manufacturing base to build tanks, planes and trucks to defeat the Nazis that allowed it to quickly take advantage of being the only country left with the ability mass produce and globally ship products. It was simply a byproduct of the war that no one was around to say anything while you used what ever IP you wanted.
Yes, I am sure big business will solve the problem for us. BTW, how are you enjoying that Internet, jackass? You know who paid for it? You think it was big business. It is amazing how many F-Tards out there think that corporate America will solve every problem, even though it was corporate America who has gotten the entire world into a shit storm.
American schools in the south have mandated that schools shall now teach Tiddlywinks in an effort to increase manual dexterity so as to reduce the likelihood of burger flipping injuries for future generations. The class shall follow directly after the new science curriculum, "7 days, the making of Earth".
What a load of nonsense. Why do IT people insist that all other humans are retarded and cannot operate a computer?
I'll tell you what. In my smallish company, out IT guys are CLUELESS. Nearly every computer is what I would consider to be unusable. Not mine though. I have never, not one time ever, allowed the IT person to touch my machine. When ever we go to a clients place for a presentation, we take my machine because it works. It is not locked down with stupid restrictions that an IT guys heard about in school. Basically, "most' people can use a computer well enough to take care of it without IT people F'ing it up. Then again, I have always worked in engineering firms.
Your point? You have one more party than China does and the two you have are the same guys.
You do not live in a democracy. You live in a republic. It is right there in your pledge of allegiance. At least China doesn't pretend to be something it is not. At least the government freely admits to these things, while in the US the government hides all the while flag fuckers like you shout, USA! USA! USA! Welcome to irreverence.
Voice and data are not the same, they are not 0's and 1's as you say. GSM carriers have what is called a link budget. Basically it is the amount of time slots available on any given channel. You can assign multiple voice calls to one channel simply by using an alternate time slot combination. However, when on a PS call (packet switched), chances are you phone is at least a multislot class 10 or 12 device, which means that you are taking up 5 slots! Thus, there is less room for another caller. Or course networks will automatically reduce your slots to fit a new voice caller by design. UMTS is similar in concept, though the mechanism is more complex than GSM.
Roaming is nothing compared to the rip off of txt messages. That is happening on the control plane, which are bit that must go to you phone anyhow. The actual cost really is as close to zero as one can get without being zero.
I think the point is more about kids getting desensitized to violence because of playing these graphic games. I think there is certainly something to that. Once something is no longer shocking, it tends not to be something you spend much time to consider. Just think about your first time on \b.
No need to understand technology when in addition to having piles of money, you understand that buying law makers will keep your current system safe. This way you don't have to do anything different and you still make money.
Even as close as a few years back, I had the impression that Democrats somehow had the people interest in mind more than Republicans. I finally realized that both are the same. They simple represent different segments of industry which sometimes have competing views. One thing both can agree on, we are the enemy.
Off topic, I know but it still makes me sad. To think I wasted 6 years in the military to defend an ideal that doesn't exist anymore. You try to do something about it and everywhere you run into these stupid American hicks saying, if ya dont like'it git'out. Well, you know what hick, I did get out. I have moved to Germany. Sure, I cannot have a gun without a really good reason, but at least I can laugh at you will all the people around here...even though it still breaks my heart to see what is happening to my old home.
BTW; auto pilot does not use any of those things you mentioned. For an automated landing, the good old ILS is still used. I system which uses two separate tones riding on a carrier and phased just so that you get an equal balance of the two tones when you are on the glide slope. When you stray up for down, you get more 90Hz tone than 150 Hz and so the system know..oops, I am to high. Left and right uses different tones, but the same principle. Phasing that is hard though, 14 different antennas as opposed to 3 max for the up/down.
I live in Germany, so I can tell you, you are not allowed to say anything against the Jews. It does not matter what they do, how many kids they kill, how many lives they destroy. You are an anti-Semite if you say anything other than, jews are awesome and can do no wrong.
Turn on the TV. Go to any "News" site. Everything is designed to make you react in some way. They especially like to find the most "outraged" person and interview them. It is a bit sad. People will freak out about stuff like this and demand action, yet your government erodes your rights and destroys your country a little bit more each day and the same people are quite. Tell me/., where is the outrage for things that matter?
Perhaps this seems a bit trollish, but help me to understand. I have seen this article posted a few places and every place seems to have an alarmingly high percentage of people who basically say, * Rable rable rable, tree huggers bad, global warming fake, rable rable rable".
My question is why? What is going on the states that make so many people believe that there is no need to mediate or even think about possible damage to the environment which supports us? Is global warming for sure real? Fuck if know, but it sure seems possible. And that's a fuck-all big gamble you all are taking.
Seriously, how is it a stretch to imagine a future where the primary source of energy is not derived from burning dead dinosaurs and plants? Dont get me wrong, I love my Jeep! It is a hobby for me, but I certainly do not expect it will be my primary mode of transport in 20+ year. At least I hope to god we would have progressed a bit faster than that. The move off fossil fuels is just like anything else that's hard; if you don't start at some point, you will never get there.

They said the same about Motorola. They are still around.

Would he not burn up all his fuel staying in orbit? I assumed he must use a Lagrange point.

I know what you mean. I spent forever deciding on a safe career. Though, if I am honest, I am not making too much cash as a prostitute.
Here is the big difference with Android and Apple. Competition. There are other stores you can sell your crap in when you dont like the terms of one.
Not to mention this thing sits in the middle of a giant desert. So, not really displacing too many people or critters.
Are you suggesting that a western nanny state government, is looking into the private lives of its citizens? That is simply shocking!
What a load of nonsense.

What a sick place America has become. Just F'ing sick.
