So you are telling me that Google Talk, I mean XMPP, doesn't support encryption? BS. What the news are calling the "new feature" of Allo is an AI that automagically guesses what you want to say so you have to type less. Sounds more like something that is sending data back to the server so they can datamine it to me.
So what happened to Google Messenger? Right. They crippled it, stopped updating the application binary, and forced everyone to use a crap HTML 5 version of it inside GMail. That's what happened.
I don't get the need to constantly rename the same thing over and over. Just don't kill products that people actually like that work Google.
It is possible to do ISRU in the Moon as well. There have been people who have proposed to extra LOX (oxygen) in the Moon as most lunar dust is largely made of SiO2. The Moon is also rich in Aluminium and some have proposed to do LOX/Al engines with it. The Isp is crap but it works. If you want high Isp you can go with solar-thermal or solar-electric or nuclear versions of that.
Let us wait until the Raptor engine is developed. Try checking how many full-flow staged combustion LOX/LCH4 engines have been made before. I'll give you a hint: Z**O.
The humans aren't there for their sensors. The OODA is observe, orient, decide and act. The humans are mostly there for the decide and act portions. i.e. where to aim and when to shoot.
A computer can be reprogrammed by the enemy. If they figure a way to do it for that model they can switch all those airplanes around. Humans are harder to turn.
Those were 1950s-1960s air defense systems defeated in the 1980s. Back in Vietnam they caused enough damage to the USAF and they also caused damage to the Israelis in the Yom Kippur War. Eventually they figured out how to effectively counter them. Still a system like that was used by skilled operators to knock down an F-117 in Serbia in the 1990s. Which resulted in an early retirement of that aircraft model. It remains to be seen how's the performance against more modern SAM technology.
It does. And they are great for what they are. Cheap like heck, decent priced consumables, support for Samsung Print Language widely available in Linux. Some even have PostScript Support. I'll still using the cheap Samsung Laser printer I bought a decade ago just fine. For inkjet, if you still care about that, the best brand IMO is the Canon bubble jet line.
HP is good at office departmental printers. They're fine at this but its way outside my small office budget.
If you are into the iOS walled garden and invested a lot of money into it, good luck changing to Android.
That's why I never spent much money on iOS apps when I had a 3GS. In fact I have spent more money on Android apps than I did on iOS. Because I know the platform will be there even if Google goes belly up. Same reason I don't purchase games on Steam but purchase them on GOG.

If I punch the wall it still hurts. It doesn't matter if its a simulation or not.
You do need to breathe.
Asteroid mining... I think ocean mining would be cheaper right now and its not exactly popular.
There were voyages in the Age of Discovery which took about that long. But I agree that Moon settlement right now makes more sense.

Ariane 5 had like one failed launch for every new iteration of the design (1 Ariane 5 G failure, 1 Ariane 5 ECA failure). Atlas V had 1 failure.
SpaceX had 0 failures on Falcon 9 v1.0, 1 failure on Falcon 9 v1.1, and 1 failure on Falcon 9 v1.2.
It's still too early to tell really.

It's called the Olympics. And they are over. TVs always sell more in the Olympics.
Mammoth steak is supposed to be delicious.

I hope so. It has a single engine instead of two.

Ukraine was never part of NATO. China already tried to invade Vietnam in the late 1970s and failed.
The more accurate a clock on a GPS satellite is the more accurate will be the positioning information provided to end users. It's as simple as that.
The "contract" was illegal to begin with. Also this is a different case but it uses the same double-irish tax evasion scheme.

It's called app side loading. Android has it, iOS doesn't.
People have been moving to cities at the same time. So the wilderness areas are being depopulated.
