Which would be bogus if this was Steve Jobs discussing in an apple.com e-mail with the head of Google of how he shouldn't try to 'poach' employees from Apple. But I digress.
The rise in temperature been flat for the last decade. Every single prediction made by anthropogenic global warming I have heard so far has failed. It is junk science.
It is convenient to make a theory that neither explains anything nor can be proven until after you die and your grant money had been already spent.
There is a painting in Venice of a staircase to the canals made a couple of centuries back. The staircase is totally submerged now. The sea level has been rising for a long time. It is not a new phenomenon. What a lot of people disagree on is a) how much of it is actually caused by human activities. b) is it a problem or not.
AGW theory is bullshit because it cannot make long term predictions of climate. It mispredicted the temperature for the entire last decade for example. The model is flawed at best and probably worthless.
They already are incredibly cheap to manufacture. How do you think Apple gets all that profit every single year?
Of course if the robots were that good the location where the manufacturing plant is should be mostly inconsequential. Productions could be anywhere with cheap space and electricity. What I suspect will happen, as usually does in any corporation that tries to apply robots to what used to be an all human assembly line, is massive failure and hiring of more indentured servants, er i mean interns.
Yes. Quadcopters are overrated. I remember reading a lot about proposals to make aircraft that can fly in the Martian atmosphere and nearly invariably they had huge wings and lightweight structures. The atmosphere is really low density.
Remember that adage that 90% of car accidents happens 5 minutes away from the departure point or 5 minutes before the arrival point? Guess what a taxi service is constantly doing...
The SSME is too expensive to use in an expendable rocket like this. It was barely economic even when the engine was reused and only after they upgraded it enough so they did not need to disassemble it totally after every flight for inspection. Also the production line for the SSME was shut down when W was still President with Griffin as NASA Administrator and to get production back up again would take years and probably cost almost as much as developing a whole new engine.
This summary is a load of bull. As is the article. Production of a new motor my ass. The SLS is supposed to use 4 RS-25 Space Shuttle Main Engines in the center core, of which there are 15 and parts of another in stock, and two 5 segment Solid Rocket Boosters similar to those of the Space Shuttle. The second stage is based on a Delta IV EELV second stage using the RL-10. What is 'new' here in terms of propulsion? They are adding another segment to the SRBs. Whoopie do.
Get this: SLS is predicted to cost as much as the Space Shuttle did per year, but it will launch once every 2-3 years instead of 4 times a year like the Space Shuttle. If you do the math they have RS-25 engines for 3-4 flights. SLS is expendable remember? The production assembly line for RS-25 has been closed years ago. So if they want to fly more than 3-4 flights with it they will probably have to design a new engine which will take like 5 years to do. At best. The whole thing is sheer nonsense.
This experiment was actually easy to reproduce. Unlike the global warming climate model. Besides even when the model does not hold, as it has for quite some time, people just prefer to ignore reality instead.

I do not know about you but I do not do private conversations using my university e-mail address.
No the backup tapes for the university e-mail system were erased to save money.

Insecticides never worked properly again since that.
So how arid was planet Earth during the Jurassic when the CO2 levels were higher? I will give you a hint. It was LESS arid than it is today.

Yes the CO2 levels increased. Yet the global average temperature did not rise as predicted by the AGW model.

97% of Catholic Priests believe in God. News at 11.
throwing a supercomputer at an impossible problem doesn't magically add credibility
Of course it does. The answer is 42.

Time to trademark a 'No Glass Allowed' symbol.
Yeah and do not forget. They get the regulatory capture because they are 'too big to fail' and there are 'no alternatives'.

I will give you one example. Gitorious is based in Norway. There are more.
That would help projects like CyanogenMod how exactly?
Get a repository some place outside the US. Where there is less of this nonsense.
The trailer thing is perfectly feasible. The tzero had one.

As we speak they prefer to clutch at straws rather than consider that the effect was caused by solar activity. Ah well.
It probably states in which shell account their CEO is storing his non-taxed gains or something like that.
Tell that to Microsoft. Exchange has a feature just like that. It does not work all the time either. But corporate types love this.
You are assuming it was not stored in umpteen mail servers along the way. You do know how SMTP works right?
