It's too big. Space-X doesn't need a facility that big.
But they could easily make use of it for their smaller launchers if the price is right. Much easier to have regular launch schedules if you are renting/owning a facility.
The cost of the iPhone is what drives the black market price up to begin with. If the price from a retailer wasn't so high the amount of money paid for stolen phones wouldn't be nearly as high either (except during shortages) and the incentive to steal them would go down as well.
Does that imply the $699 unlocked price of the Samsung SIII isn't a high amount since thieves mostly target the iPhone?
Deadlines are fine.... but when scope and resources change, the deadline slips. That is simple project management 101.
I guess you've never worked at a real company where the management's bonuses are based on a shipping date they pulled out of thin air. So the project has to meet that date even if it means dropping features and shipping with bugs.
1) Facebook is going to see it's user base decline. I suspect that many of the current accounts are fake, throwaway type accounts anyway. Full of fake birth dates, occupations and other such information attached to fake throwaway email accounts used for nothing other than signing up for Facebook. Sooner or later advertisers are going to catch on to this and stop wasting their time.
You can't blame it all on geography, I live in a small, densely populated city (with density exceeding many Japanese urban areas) located very close to Silicon Valley and my only options are Comcast Cable internet or "up to" 3 mbit DSL.
That's pretty good for DSL here in Silicon Valley. My neighbor who refuses to dump DSL is only getting around 200mbs.
Sure, we got some science from it, but are we as far into space as we were before the Space Shuttles? No. In fact we've regressed. We would have been much better off ignoring Congress and continuing to build exploratory vehicles rather than taxis to low orbit.
Part of the problem was that the Air Force got to define too many requirements that ended up bloating the shuttle design and then the Air Force decided to continue using expendable launchers instead.

Will Woz still want to buy Aussie citizenship if this is allowed?
They're doing heavy launches from Vandenberg on the west coast:
And they have to work around Vandenberg's schedule, which is my point.

Of course you are assuming people are within range of an OTA tower.
Although Seti@Home is probably the most known project (or used to be), E@H is probably the most successful one from the pure science perspectives.
Unlike the pure science of Folding@home?
That's not a netbook, it's an ultrabook and it's expensive as hell:
I wish I had mod points for you today. :-)
i haven't had a tv in years.
My TV is really just a big computer display.

Define failure. Last trip had an engine break apart during launch.
Incorrect.
They had a controlled shut down on one engine. It did not break apart.
And what's more, the custom made yacht can be used to funnel money out of one region to another without having to pay much tax on it.
At least Apple pays taxes. Unlike GE that doesn't may any tax at all.
Except that the thing is controlled by Macs with large screens, how is this piece of news relevant on Slashdot?
Slashdot loves Macs.

Maybe the argument that we all need to be having is: "Does prohibition of objects ever work?" Alcohol, Drugs, Guns, Porn, Books, etc?
The Scottish town of Dunblane would seem to think so.
Because most tech timelines barely qualify as even Wild Ass Guesses?
Especially when no one technical is involved in the guess.

They are hiding in their apocolypse shelters watching The 12 Disasters of Christmas.

Most of them are marketing accounts.
Remember the location.
It is more likely to be The Thing.
Nothing can ever happen if everyone is always content to sit in the corner cowering in fear of what could happen.
It worked out well for Napster.
Yes, that was a typo. Should have been 200kbs.

More like one of the VLC developers who works for Nokia started complaining and got it pulled.
I would be a lot easier to just buy a used PPC Mac mini.

You didn't think the Stargate series was fictional did you?
