US workers won't work in a HDD manufacturing mill without getting $15+/hr plus benefits and a labor union to strong arm management. That cannot compete with conditions overseas where the wages are pennies on the dollar and minimal benefits and dictatorship rules over every employee.
Even if IMDB didn't list her age, that wouldn't stop Wikipedia, or a fan, or former schoolmate from posting that information on the Internet and having it forever shared with the collective knowledge-base of the world.
...will it have some kind of "PSN required" function to play "offline" and single-player games?
Will it silently snoop on my usage habits and report those habits to Sony and "partners"?
Which firmware-encoded software functions will they later remove in the name of security?
Astronaut John Blaha was available for a group lunch last week at KSC and I attended. When asked about the end of the Space Shuttle program, his disgust and frustration was clearly communicated in his response. He blamed politicians Washington. When asked about life in a post-STS world, he said: "We need another Kennedy to get us (humankind) further. It doesn't have to be a U.S. figure, just any Kennedy-like person somewhere who can get the ball rolling."
Whenever I think of a spacecraft named "Aquarius," I think of the LM that the Apollo 13 astronauts used as a lifeboat to survive the trip back to Earth after their Service Module was damaged after launch. After delivering those astronauts safely back to LEO and being heroically jettisoned into the atmosphere to meet her demise, that spacecraft deserved to have its name retired.
...most creative types make the media we consume, from tv, movies, magazines, newspapers, online videos, pamplets... just about anything.
When producing a piece of media, whenever a "computer" is needed for a prop, the company isn't going to buy a computer to be a prop, they just grab one of the machines in the office, which, in most creative businesses, happens to be a Mac with/without the Apple logo covered/removed in post-production.
ProLiant servers are a recipe for hardware failure. Every single one I have had the displeasure of working with over the course of 13 years has had a horrific, hardware failure of some kind. Anything in the "Compaq" side of HP should be avoided like the plague.
I was an iPhone poweruser at one time, until I moved to a part of the country where AT&T was unavailable. I had no choice but to go to Verizon and get a dumbphone (I refuse to use a non-Apple smartphone.. I don't think Android, Symbian, BlackBerryOS, or WP7 are as good as iOS).
After a few weeks of adjusting, I'm doing perfectly fine with a dumbphone. Granted, I would love to be able to catch up on FB, Twitter and the Internet during breaks, but it's not worth the $30 data plan.
Now that the iPhone 4 is out on Verizon, the iPhone lust is back in my mind, but seeing as how I have saved hundreds without a data plan, I might remain a dumbphone user for a little while longer.
China is actively developing their space program. When the US was doing this in the 50s and 60s, we used very high-altitude planes and farmed our Mercury and Gemini astronauts from the pilots of those planes. Why wouldn't the Chinese do the same thing as part of their space program evolution?
The Chinese are actively developing their LEO space functionality. The US's own Mercury and Gemini astronauts were farmed from test pilots of extremely high altitude planes. Why wouldn't the Chinese do the same thing (high altitude planes) as part of developing their space science/talent?
Helium is much larger than Hydrogen. Would the bond angles be the same? Would the physical shape of the Helium atom allow it to attach to carbon chains and hexane/benzene structures to make pseudo-hydrocarbons?

Except on Earth, instead of Phobos.

I'm a Mac OS X user at home and XP SP3 still does the job for me, both as a bootcamp OS, and as a VM OS under Parallels and Virtualbox.
At work, we still use XP on all of our workstations and IE8.

My 3GS is cludging along with iOS 4.3.3. I don't even want to see how it will run under iOS 5.
As they called it in Office Space: Federal pound-you-in-the-ass prison. No conjugal visits, either. Better beat someone up on their first day.

The moon is made of cheese, as it is.
The only card I used with PSN was one that is now expired and from a closed account.
This incident, however, ensures I use PSN points cards for any future PSN purchases.

Sweet! My Blu-Ray player has a firmware update. Not sure what this gaming non-sense is all about.

Samsung isn't exactly treating their Android phone customers well either.
