  1. Re:Forced Upgrades on US Missile Defense Test Fails · · Score: 1

    Which is irrelevant. It would also be intended for a launch from a "rogue" state that developed its own nukes and missiles.

  2. Re:A breath of fresh air on The Upside of the NASA Budget · · Score: 1

    SpaceX is probably the closest. Virgin/Scaled is suborbital.

    Yeah, but where are you going to find a player, especially with all the DRM?

    I was at work, when someone told me. My response was, "You're shitting me, right?"

    We violated several security regulations that day by bringing a portable radio into our closed area and turning it on.

    GMD is not really intended to stop a mass launch by the Russians. It's really more about stopping nutjobs like with a single weapon.

    '05 Camry with the auto light sensor. Stays on for about 30-45 seconds.

  7. Re:Real Improvement? on AT&T Admits New York City iPhone Service Sucks · · Score: 1

    That's not G as in Gigabit, it's G as in "Generation". 3G = Third Generation.

    When your lawyer threatens to sue them over it.

    You mean the Verizon "There's a map for that" ads are accurate? But the AT&T guy says they have coverage (G-type not specified) everywhere!!!

  10. I'd rather use on Why "Verified By Visa" System Is Insecure · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Single-use CC numbers. But my Visa (issued by my Credit Union) doesn't have one, and AMEX doesn't do them any more.

    You must be new here.

    So when is Bend-aid?

  15. Re:It still boggles my mind... on NASA Tests All-Composite Prototype Crew Module · · Score: 1

    The factory that built the F-1 still exists -- it's about a mile from my house. They still have an F-1 in front of it.
    It's Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne (formerly Boeing formerly Rockwell International formerly North American Rockwell).

    However, I'm sure that the production line no longer exists.

  17. Re:Explain what can happen on Getting Company Owners To Follow Their Own Rules? · · Score: 1

    While the documentation and CYA is necessary, this is the best way to do it, if you can.

    I was in a small business where I reported directly to the owner, and managed to defuse several situations by using Management-speek. If you can put it in the terms where they understand, where the issue is the bottom line, it can work.

  20. So what you're saying is on Humans Nearly Went Extinct 1.2M Years Ago · · Score: 2, Funny

    In that event, I would not rule out the chance to preserve a nucleus of human specimens. It would be quite easy at the bottom of some of our deeper mine shafts.

    Mr. President, we cannot allow a mineshaft gap!

    The Tenth Amendment is also relevant here:

    The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

    GPP (jfengel) writes:

    And by explicitly circumscribing what governments may not do, they implicitly give the government the right to do everything else.

    So, they also explicitly circumscribed what the US government may do.
