Yes, it came from the sudden and cold realization that Russia was technologically superior in space as of Sputnik. The fact that a regime that we knew executed millions through forced starvation was in control of that tech was quite scary. That they were godless matters more to you than it did to this atheist as they routinely executed or hid away anyone who spoke openly.
Yes, context is everything. Technology and its possession has been a driving force forever, as well as economics and religion. They have and will always play a mix. But that push was mostly about technology. That they were murderous was much more a consideration than if they were religious.
child, n., pl. children.. .
1. a person between birth and full growth; a boy or girl: books for children..
2. a son or daughter: All my children are married..
3. a baby or infant.
4. a human fetus.
I have both. Over all Symphony is a easier, especially the menu configurability. I've had Symphony for years, so familiarity is there. My primary use is writing. There, OO is flagging. Several major bugs, most notably the losing of chapter information on occasion, but most visibly, the auto-cap doesn't. I checked LibreOffice recently and both bugs still existed.
Digital dust? Please explain why my word-processing files sit there unchanged and usable. I have files that I've opened and read after sitting unattended for years. These aren't ASCII, they're structured files for specific programs. Not conducive to any alteration at all.
Very tiny and rather heatless furnace you propose there, Bucky. It's also another display of ignorance. To illuminate you, what you propose would disintegrate if you tried to melt bronze, and wouldn't melt steel at all (hint: what you want is refractory concrete, not stuff from Ace's). So much for casting your first large parts.
A second point of ignorance is that plastic does not melt and run out. It burns and leaves a concrete hard black mass behind, kind of screwing up your casting. I could be wrong, but I don't recall hearing about a plastic printer that forms the end produce by deposition with heat, which is how you would need to print wax.
Now add to all that the many thousands of dollars needed to creep up the scale until you have a well-functioning milling machine and you'd be better off purchasing one to begin with. Oh, wait. This entire subthread is predicated on the concept that you don't have the money or resources. Where do get your pig-iron, copper, tin, concrete and propane if all of that is controlled by Gates & Co?
No, actually it would be because they took on too much debt. I haven't heard of anyone taking out a loan to pay rent. It may happen, but it's not common.
If you mean "poor people are forced to borrow" to buy a house, you get more accurate as most folks don't have thousands laying around. Just don't borrow for a house you can't sustain.
Your entire post reeks of jealousy. That and, of course, communism (much the same).
Uh, what the fuck do you think one does for income when one writes? Writing a decent book is time intensive. Easily half a year or much more, depending on type of book and size.
"Well, most of it is guesswork but it's becoming less and less guesswork."
Only for R, fp and ne; with ne being dubious, as we have only one planet's experience with what can constitute life and we've not found all the variants here.
The problem with calling this a real equation (aside from the format) is the use of the word "actually". We have to either; 1 - find and catalog intelligent life or, 2 - be around long enough and have investigated heavily enough to reasonably determine there aren't any.
Even if we found the exact values for those three tomorrow, the formula would remain useless because we can't even answer the binary question implied in fl, much less fi. We can't even judge L because we haven't stopped yet.
Meh. I don't. The universe is big. Small odds *will* happen. All conditions you mention will occur in other systems, even within our galaxy. By the way, the moon is being lost, just slowly.

Webster's disagrees:

.
1. a person between birth and full growth; a boy or girl: books for children..
2. a son or daughter: All my children are married..
3. a baby or infant.
4. a human fetus.
Virtually none of the first sentence of your last paragraph is correct.
The answer to the second is thirty-three trillion dollars in debt.
"Why is the USA so broken!?"
He called, uphill.

*Or*, we could drill our own oil and not import so much. You can't buy things from the other guy forever.
"I said that people's responses to what I'd originally said reminded me of the sort of hard-core libertarians willing to do so."
And then acted as if people had actually meant the same things. Rather classic straw.
"I simply believe that this manner of searching for suspects could change the way we procure evidence..."
Actually, it's always been legal for citizens to volunteer information and help. Kind of the idea behind the wanted poster thing.
Nope. That does *not* make it verbal assault. Read some more.
I do image Mr Bartle was very much himself, yes.
Yes. Yes, it is.

I agree, but to quibble, until the Phoenicians came along, that's what math was.

My wife came home and cleaned the kitchen. Women aren't always delicate little puffs.
What's my zip code got to do with it?

Yeah, facts are like that. Unarguable.

Don't get your point. I just got hundreds of baked spaghetti recipes.
Really? Exactly who backs it up? As in, for real exactly, not some 'cloud' construct.
Well, to boil it down, it keeps people from getting something free is why it's hated here.
Choosing to *not* read the TOS is willing.
