TabletPC wasn't just a "me too" project, Microsoft actually actively sabotaged their competitors to drive them out of the market and then tried to grab the market for themselves (and failed).
Ares-1 was a clusterf**k. But we need Ares-V. Nobody has a Saturn V class launcher anymore, including the Russians.
Also, what is the US going to do for manned launches until Dragon and Dream Chaser are ready? Or are we going to have to beg for rides from the Russians and Chinese (and maybe India, too)?
Not necessarily. I've considered it for long trips to/from my daughter's university. My netbook doesn't have a wireless modem, but it does have WiFi. Ditto for my daughter's fullsize laptop.
I'm sure that there are other people (not businesses) who are buying or considering a MyFi sort of thing.
Slashdot Mirror
People running classified networks are going to LOVE that feature.
They have the Internet on computers now?
Or it's being used on a system that is not connected to the Internet?
Yes, there are systems that legally can NOT have 'Net connections.
Well, there was only one night launch of a Saturn V -- Apollo 17. And yes, it was impressive as hell.
Ooh! That's a good one! It virtually guarantees that you won't be asked that twice.
re: "will this be on the exam":
Answer either "Yes" or "Maybe".
Does anybody really know what time it is?
Does anybody really care?
Welcome our new overly-precise timekeeping overlords.

What are you talking about ?
Go! Computer.
Read Startup: A Silicon Valley Adventure.
Granted, it's a touch biased because the author was the founder/CEO of Go!, but it still shows how MS sabotaged competitors.
Alas, most Slashdotters are too young to get your reference.
Damn. That'll teach me to use preview.
Dan Simmions did that in The Rise of Endymion.
No need to turn it over. It's Australia. It's already upside-down.
Lynch tried it. It did get annoying.
I don't know... filming the Honored Matres might be fun...
Jenna Jameson for the lead, anyone?
A book could pretty much serve as a screenplay
Not really. A lot of Dune is internal ruminations by the characters.
or SLEOS on a NEO in a Geo
Would that be a Geo Metro or a Geo Tracker?
I suspect that man-rating Atlas V may be easier, since a previous generation of Atlas was man rated (Mercury-Atlas).

This is the first attempt at the Total Perspective Vortex! Now all they need is some fairy cake!

That is so cruel. I love it!!!!
