For years, I had a paid subscription to the dead-tree LA Times. As the years progressed, the reporting became worse and worse, until the "reporting" was useless. (yes, the quotes missing on the first instance are deliberate).
I contributed my money to pay their salaries. Guess what? When it devolved into repeating press releases or cloning Wikipedia? I stopped paying.
Of course, those of us who learned to type on manual typewriters* always bang on the keys anyways. My wife always complained. But I learned on an ancient Royal Manual, which probably needed at least 5 pounds of force per key.

I was going to ask this. Wasn't SpaceX working on a man-rated Dragon long before the contract award? Are they allowed to continue the work they were doing BEFORE award?
Don't give the lawmakers any ideas, now. There's plenty of conservative middle-aged daddies out there who'd love to write such laws and loudly proclaim their goodness "for the children".
And then these asshats get voted out of office when Texas no longer has high school football, because of naked guys in the locker room.
But because crypto was considered armaments (even for export purposes), one could make the case that it IS armaments, and therefore protected under the Second Amendment.
One could conceivably make a Second Amendment argument as well. Until the Clinton Administration, crypto was classified as an armament, and export was regulated under ITAR.

Sounds like *SOMEONE* in Canada is trying to... overcompensate...
Exactly. Florian is a troll or a shill. See the archives of Groklaw.
Hell, Leonov discussed it himself in the book he co-wrote with Dave Scott, Two Sides of the Moon.

I figured they just put you on a scale against a duck.
If I saw blue people, I just figured it was an Intel ad.
swb did. Right above you.
Everybody knows it was Brent Spiner who worked on the Alien spacecraft at Area 51!
Yeah, but the moon is going to explode in 2049, as a giant space chicken (or something) hatches from it.

I'm sure someone can find a congress critter who would like to draw up the law.
Three words for you: "Bill of Attainder".
Any punishment of this would have to come through the courts.
Their NonStop division is still coming up with innovative hardware.

Wasn't the HL-10 the spacecraft that Steve Austin crashed in?

Yeah. The Zodiac Killer should have had a back door into his cipher for law enforcement.

Yep. You can't get local games on MLB.tv. EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE PAYING FOR IT!!!!
Regardless... this is actually a Good Thing(TM) for those who watch sports.
Just in general, the whole inertia thing. They were careful to make sure that the Vipers obeyed Newton.
Then there was the time when they attacked the resurrection ship, where they launched, then rotated, and then just drifted by it before shooting.
The BSG remake had some fairly accurate ship physics as well.
You're right. You can't make him see. The best you can hope to do is to throw Robert Burns at him...
