I strongly prefer Yahoo!, but there are a lot of MSN users out there. I am glad that I will not have to run two memory-hogging clients at once and I only need to maintain one account.
But TFA is talking about the alert system used to convey messages. Like you said, there was a major problem with advance notice. Better alert systems can aid that, but only when used in combination with good planning. I am in no way challenging the hardships to which you were subjected, nor am I intending to lesson the tragedy of those who died in transit. This news story is about alert systems, not the judgement of those who control them. Overall, a better alert system will yield a better prepared nation. As your horrible experiences indicate, however, it must be combined with common sense and logistical planning.
Well put. Even balloons are not as weak as people seem to think. After all, there are proposals to replace some satilites with high altitude balloons. I think that we have learned a lot about how not to build a space station through the lessons of the ISS. This inflatable plan looks very promising and might not require an infinite budget. I am glad that they are starting small to ensure that this actually works.
I am well aware of this, as I am a college student and I don't drink and I do not do any drugs. Still, think about the possibilities of getting wasted in space!
Fortunately, Firefox debuted at a weak point in IE's history. But I doubt that many of its user will leave it in droves when IE7 comes out because there is strong brand loyalty.
Oh, and I think that most of the/. IE traffic is people like me who browse from work.
All security is in implementation. When I interned in congress, I was surprised at how lax some things seemed. Same thing with some parts of airports. The only really secure place I've seen (tech and physical security) was the hospital where I did rotations during my EMT training.
I believe that there is room for the little episodic developer, though it is shrinking daily. Sports games (like TFA's Madden) will continue, as there is a distinct point after which the data from the old game becomes invalid (after the season). Even without massive amounts of marketing, there are still people (like me) who go out of our way to look for any promising title, not just the one's I've already heard about. I appreciate the effort that goes into these games, and I do not have time to justify paying recurring subscriptions to an MMORPG.
Imagine the cost of flying that much beer from Earth. I bet the first experiement would be "The sustainability of growing certain grains in Earth orbit for the purpose of distilling tasty beverages in order to maintain mission sanity."

I have trouble learning about things when I do not understand how they work. What I like about this book is that it goes out of its way to explain how the technology works. So many programming books start with: "Now write the following code snippit in the IDE and compile." For the first time reading a/. book review, I actually want to buy this book!
I know that I sometimes bring my games to my friend's PS2s. I still own the license to the game, but I want to avoid schleping my own system whenever possible. I would be veryangry if they outlawed this practice.
The enviroment in which special forces operate is much more complex, dangerous, and less fault tolerent than anything you have likely experienced in your life. Combat and space travel are similar in that respect.
Look at the Zodiac boats used as landing craft by the Navy SEALS. They are inflatable, but they are anything but weak. They are designed to operate in enviroments that we can only dream of and they survive. I am interested in following how this test project survives over the next five years. I am not entirely convinved that it will work (nothing in space exploration or habitation is ever 100%) but I would not be so quick to write it off as a sure failure.
You seem to forget that pen and paper games, one of the origens of computer gaming, was all about story telling. There is still substancial room for story and plot in modern video games.
I am not talking about adding more movie clips. I am sometimes as annoyed with them as you are. I would like to see, however, more reason provided as to why, exactly, you are killing the red dragon to save the blue one.
This is not really an abuse of the alert system, per se. The decision was made to force an evacuation, and that decision was later relayed to you through this system. I understand that 5 days on the road must have royally sucked, but don't blame the messenger.

Agreed. What exactly makes this so "hi-fi?" I'm tagging this slownewsday.
Yes, but is that code as portable as the Java version?

In that case I have some exciting electron shell configurations from chemistry that he would just love!
Hopefully they don't confuse the bathroom hose with the space bong hose!

How could I ever I forget pen and paper gaming? And your friend's activities sound less like gaming and more like physics homework.
And green dragons mean you need to adjust your monitor.
The way I read it, TFA is talking about bacteria building wires, not the power supplies themselves.

I wonder how well a beer bong works in zero gravity...

I think that there is a lot of variety in the D&D esque games, where many of the "Urban" games are largely the same.
