n theory they could retool the CA launch center for manned spaceflight inside of a year, since that's what it was originally designed for (up until 1994?
1986. The first shuttle launch from Vandenberg was supposed to be in October 1986, but then Challenger happened, and they scrapped the idea.
My mother-in-law is the target market. She could never get the networking to work on her Toshiba laptop (even though I fixed it every time I came over).

And right there, you have answered the question as to why AT&T thinks this is a good idea. If you want streaming stuff, you'll have to use AT&T's content, not some third party's.
It's not robotic rescue dogs, it's building codes that reduce the need for them in the first place.
I live in SoCal. I tell my friends from other places that the safest place to be when an earthquake hits is "somewhere else", but if you can't be there, then SoCal (and NorCal, too) is one of the best places to be.
Why? Because we know that the Big One is coming... someday... Our building codes are designed so that while the building might not be safe to occupy, it will stand long enough to let you get out. And the codes are under constant revision after every earthquake. Example, the '94 Northridge quake was a kind they hadn't seen or planned for. Codes got revised because of it.
Both Los Angeles and St. Louis sit on top of major faults. Which city would you rather be in when a 7.5 quake hits?

Great.
So the PTO issues all patents and says, "Let the courts sort it out."
The Solicitor General says, "Don't let the courts sort it out."
I hope that MS kicks the us.gov's ass on this one, and I am no MS fan.
Interesting.
Wouldn't Article VI, combined with the 14th Amendment make such a provision unconstitutional (under the US constitution)?

You need to ask that in the "Geico guy" voice.
If said bullet hit escape velocity, it wouldn't orbit.
I don't have the numbers to calculate right now, but I'm guessing that orbital velocity on Mars is probably somewhere around 3.5km/s
They took our jobs!
They took our jerbs!
There, FTFY
And China will tell the US "You touch my junk, and I'll nuke you!"
Uh, you do realize that Slashdot actually *is* Rob's personal blog, right?
Plus one dead in 1967.

the brain goes in some kind of overdrive making every second seem to take forever
I suspect that's adrenaline. The same thing happened to me in the one major auto accident I got into.
Time slowed down, I *KNEW* that I was going to be hit, and there was absolutely nothing I could do about it.
I hate to reply to myself.
I forgot the important part.
Because she couldn't get the Toshiba to work, she bought an iPad.
Precisely.
My mother-in-law is the target market. She could never get the networking to work on her Toshiba laptop (even though I fixed it every time I came over).
She just wants to surf the web and do email.

How do you find your usage? I looked on the Uverse site and couldn't find the usage meter.
Yeah, I was doing similar calculations on a 12Mbps line.
At 12Mbps, you get 166,666 seconds worth of data, or just under two days.
You forgot that she had to open a socket first.
They always had to open a socket.
California DMV will not sell that info. In the wake of the Reecca Schaeffer murder, it became illegal for the CA DMV to sell private addresses.
I'm a 98 year old woman in Afghanistan.
Or at least as far as the NYT knows.

I find your ideas intriguing and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
At least if Schmidt gets appointed, there will be *SOMEONE* in DC who understands the Internet.

Oh. Packet Tracer uses 12.something.
